8、rrel bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmark.The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars.The original bridge was built over Olympi
9、a Way on the west edge of the library grounds. Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels. Many times, Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being
10、run over.One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth, and that days coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政会). The Council approved, and C
11、ouncilwoman Bess LaRiviere jokingly named the bridge “Nutty Narrows”After architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started construction.

The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world.来源:中#国教#育出#版网In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the wornout bridge.

16、 squirrel bridge?A. It was replaced by a longer one.B. It was built from wood and metal.中国教育出版网C. It was rebuilt after years of use.D. It was designed by Bill Hutch.BThe average temperature around the world is rising. People living in the US Midwest might find a fact hard to believe, though. The sci
17、entists suggest that the change in the Midwest climate may have happened because of farming.The first study was led by David Changnon, a climatologist(气候学家) at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb.Changnon and his team studied temperature records from the sites in the Midwest. They found that sinc
18、e 1970, the average temperature in the region during July and August has gone downby up to one degree Fahrenheit(华氏度)from what it was during the years between 1930 and 1969. Their investigation also showed that the average rainfall in those states during those two months has increased. Between 1970
19、and 2009, about 0.33 inch more rain fell than between 1930 and 1969.These_changes may be connected by humidity(湿度), Changnon says. Humidity is the measure of how much moisture is in the air. Humid air, which contains a lot of moisture，takes longer to heat up than dry air, Changnon notes. And humid a
20、ir often releases its moisture through rainfall.So where did the extra moisture in the air come from？Changnon points to farms in the region. As plants grow, they pull moisture from the ground and release it into the air. And among plants, soybeans (大豆) and corn plants release a lot of moisture. Midw
21、estern farms now plant more soybeans and corn than in the past, with 97 percent of farmland today planted with these two crops. In the 1930s, corn and soybeans covered only about 57 percent, Changnon says. He also notes that the plants are planted closer together now than they used to be, so there a
22、re more plants per acre than in the past.The second study, like Changnons, also found an increase in rainfall in the same area. But it points to another possible source for the increased moisture. Alan Robock at Rutgers University was part of the team that produced the second study and presented the
23、 groups findings. The team found that irrigation practices in the Great Plains have changed over the years. The researchers studied a vast area in the region. They found that in 1930, farmers in that region irrigated only about 1.8 million acres of farmland. In 1980, however, farmers irrigated nearl
24、y 15 million acres. Plants use the water and then release it into the air.These results by Changnon and Robock and their colleagues are the first step toward understanding a change in the weather.20What does the underlined term “These changes” refer to?ALower temperatures and more rainfall.BHigher t
25、emperatures and higher humidity.CMaking a record both in the past and now.DThe two periods of the 40year investigation.21Which of the following could be the possible sources for the increased moisture in the US Midwest?AScientists research and farmers attention.BLess farmland and more plants.CMore p

28、(二十六).1.Ahere和there放在句首时，主语是名词要用全部倒装，主语为代词则不用倒装。2A表示否定含义的副词never放句首用部分倒装且注意时态。3A本题考查倒装句的用法。句意：只有在你饮食正确的条件下，你才能保持身材、保持健康。only用于句首和状语或状语从句连用时，后面使用倒装结构。unlessif not(除非；如果不)，用于句首时引导条件状语从句，主句不用倒装，首先排除C项。如选D项，句意：如果你饮食正确，你将不能保持身材和健康。语意逻辑有问题。故A项正确。4D考查词性用法。in disgust“厌恶地”，作状语。disgusting food“令人厌恶的食物”。disgus
29、ted则表示“感到厌恶的，反感的”。5B考查动词短语辨析。句意：因为我无硬币可投了，所以我的电话被中途切断了。cut off意为“切断”，符合句意。break in意为“强行进入，插嘴”，是不及物动词短语，不能用于被动语态； hang up意为“挂断电话”；put down意为“取下，写下”，均不符合语境。6C考查动词词义辨析。根据题意“我推算我们将在下午六点到那儿”可知选C。count数；figure计算；calculate估计，推算；evaluate 评估，评价。7D考查名词辨析。A项意为“报酬，奖金”，B项意为“奖赏，奖金，奖品”，C项意为“成本，价钱，代价”，D项意为“价值，估价，评价

31、furniture家具。中国教育出版网11C考查非谓语动词。句意：南方下了大雨，在几个省区造成严重洪灾。空格后serious flooding是rained heavily的后果，而且句子主语it和cause之间存在主动关系，所以此处要用动词的ing形式作结果状语。12C考查固定搭配。commit oneself to doing sth.承诺做某事。13B考查时态和主谓一致。根据as well as并列两个名词作主语时，谓语动词与as well as前面的名词在人称和数上一致，排除A项；experiment with意为“进行实验，进行试验”，experiment on意为“在上试验”，如：
32、He experimented on rats.由此排除D项；根据语境，该空与其主语在逻辑上是主动关系，排除C项。14A否定副词never放于句首，构成倒装句，时间状语应用陈述语序。 15B考查动词短语辨析。句意：这条项链是纯银的。be made into“被制成”；be made from表示看不出原材料的制成品；be made out of“由制成”。故选B项。.A文章主要讲述了Amos Peters观察到松鼠在觅食时遇到交通带来的危险，他还看到一只死了的松鼠嘴里还含着食物，他设想要为松鼠们设计一个能保证它们安全的桥。后来通过努力这个桥终于设计成功，并为世界所知，引起国际的关注，成为当地的
33、一道风景。16. D细节理解题。由第二段的“ to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars.”看出建这座桥是为了保证松鼠的安全。故选D。17.

C细节理解题。由倒数第二段的“Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced”看出数年之后，这座桥得到了重修。故选C。B这是一篇科普类说明文。全球变暖是一个不争的事实，然而在美国中西部地
35、区人们却感受不到这种变化，这是为什么呢？20A代词指代题。上文中提到1970年以来，七月和八月的平均温度比1930年到1969年这段时间下降了1华氏度，而平均降雨量增加了0.33英寸。由此可知“These changes”指的是：温度降低，降雨量增多。21C细节理解题。根据第三段内容和第四段中的第二、四句话和最后一句可知空气湿度增加的原因是C项。22D推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，近四十年美国中西部地区七月和八月的平均气温比前四十年的平均气温要低1华氏度，而降雨量多0.33英寸。由此可知D项正确。23B细节理解题。根据第四段中的Plants use the water and then release it into the air.可知，植物吸收灌溉的水，然后再将水释放到空气中，从而形成降雨。
