21、D细节理解题。根据第二段中“.give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars.”可知，建造这座桥的目的是为了保护松鼠。2B细节理解题。从第四段第一句“.that days coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety.”以及第二句中“The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea.”可知，就是在喝咖啡休息时产生了建造松鼠桥的想法。故选B项。3D
22、词义猜测题。第六段的前两句主要介绍松鼠适应了过桥，并能看到松鼠教小松鼠们怎样过桥；guiding their young和teaching them the ropes为并列成分，都是松鼠教导小松鼠们过桥的方法，故D项正确。4C细节理解题。倒数第二段说明经过20年的使用，大桥又重新做了修复。故选C项。文章中没有提到把旧桥修复的更长，A项错误；建桥所用的材料文章也没有涉及，排除B项。比尔哈奇仅参与了建造工作，并不是设计桥的人，真正的设计者是建筑师。5A推理判断题。从建桥的起因阿莫斯皮特斯发现一只死去的松鼠而引发建桥的想法，并投入到后面的建桥工作中，以及文章最后一句话又概括说明了阿莫斯皮特斯对此项
