27、ing to Centaurus II. ACABD DDDBB DBDADIII. 1A 细节理解题。根据首段A项正确。B项提到的“20世纪20年代”不是建坝时间，C项与文章末尾一句不一致(大坝位于Arizona(亚利桑那州)和Nevada(内华达州)之间)，D项没有依据，大坝是为了纪念胡佛总统改名，但并非由他设计。2B 辨别正误题。末段说它现在世界上排名(rank)第18，尽管曾经是第一大坝，所以选择B项。3A 词义理解题。解题关键是下文的death”这一同义词。该句说96个“industrialfatalities”中还不包括“deaths by other means(其他原因导致的死
28、亡)”，可见fatality意为“死亡”，所以选择A项。 4D 综合推理题。首段说建坝目的是防洪，再加上倒数第二段提到的发电和供水功能，最后排除D项提到的功能。虽然文章末段说Boulder Dam(顽石坝)改名为“Hoover Dam”，但这并非坝的用途。5C 词义理解题。第段说孩子的闲暇时间少了，接着第二段就说孩子与父母面临着同样的危机，可见C项正确。6B 观点态度题。文章第二段第二句“However”是一个转折句，可见作者并不完全同意Sandra Hofferth的观点，单身母亲和孩子相处的闲暇时间明显要少，在双亲家庭里，母亲也在外工作的家庭比只有父亲工作的家庭和孩子相处的时间要少。7B
