8.Two minds with a single thought!The young fisherman is thinking of a way to cross the stream without getting his (71)Dwet.The engineer is thinking of a (72)C to get automobiles across the river without getting their wheels wet.You know the answer to (73)B problems:a bridge.
The fisherman's bridge doesn't take(74)A to build.Just place a board across the little stream and you(75)A.If the board is strong enough and if the fisherman doesn't (76)D too much,all will be well.
Will the engineer (77)C the same kind of bridge?You know he (78)B and you know why.Automobiles are much heavier than (79)D.The river is much(80)A than the stream.A long wood bridge just won't (81)A.It isn't strong enough.It would (82)C and break under its own weight.The fisherman's problem is very (83)B.However,the engineer's is not.
But don't(84)C sorry for the engineer.He doesn't have to (85)D the very beginning with a long board.People have been thinking about bridges for thousands of years.They have designed many types of bridges.Each bridge is suited to its special (86)B.The engineer can choose the type best suited to the river and the(87)A nearby.
What choice does he have,and why is one (88)D than the others?One way for you to find out is to make a few bridges out of cardboard.They won't be strong enough to (89)C a five-ton truck,but you will find out some of the main(90)B of bridge design by doing some experiments.

分析 本文属于记叙文阅读,作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了工程师与渔夫的区别,工程师设计桥梁的时候需要考虑各种因素,但是渔夫只需要考虑自己的体重.
解答 71-75DCBAA 76-80DCBDA 81-85ACBCD 86-90BADCB
71.D 考查名词的应用,这是一个常识题,即能够过小溪而不湿鞋或脚.故选D.
72.C 考查名词的应用,工程师正在想一个办法,所以用way,且"to get automobiles across the river without getting their wheels wet"是不定式短语作该词的定语.road"马路";route"路线";way"方式,方法,办法";course"河道,航线,过程",故选C..
73.B 考查介词的应用,前文交代了the young fisherman和the engineer这两者提出的问题,所以选择both"两者,两者都",故选B.
74.A 考查名词的应用,take long"花费很长时间";根据后文的"just place a board across the little stream"可知,渔夫的桥不会花很长时间就能建成,故选A.
75.A 考查语意理解,"have it"在此的意思是"达到目的,实现".此句补全意为"只要在小溪放一块木板就搞定了",故选A.
76.D 考查名词的应用,因为是人要过小溪,所以这个临时木板桥只要够结实,只要渔夫不那么重,一切就没有问题,故选D.
77.C 考查动词的应用,根据后文内容可知工程师需要根据各种因素设计桥,故选C.
78.B 考查语意理解,那位工程师会计划做同样的桥吗?此空所在的句子:你知道他不会这样做的.故选B..
79.D 考查名词的应用,两个人,一个人要徒步过小溪,另一个是乘车过河,所以此处应该选择D项,就是说"车比人重得多",故选D.
80.A 考查动词的应用,河流与小溪比较,应该是宽得多,所以A项正确.如果选择B项,则表示小溪本身很深,才会说河流更深.再结合下文"A long wood bridge just won't…"这部分,更是表明这里讨论的是河流和溪水的宽度,故选A.
81.A 考查语意理解,do在此的意思是"够用,足够",为不及物动词,补全后句意为:长的木桥还不够.make需和it搭配意为"成功";pass意为"通过"时是及物动词;arise"产生",不合逻辑,故选A.
82.C 考查动词的应用,根据空后面的"and break under its own weight"可知答案为C项.it指前面的a long wood bridge.因为木桥不够结实,那么在自身的重力下就会变弯曲甚至是断掉,故选C.
83.B 考查动词的应用,渔夫的问题很容易解决,但是工程师的就不那么简单了.故选B项.
84.C 考查动词的应用,根据 sorry for the engineer可知此处说明别为工程师感到难过,故选C.
85.D 考查短语的应用,根据后面的"the very beginning"可知,此处用D项,start from the very beginning"从一开始",故选D.
86.B 考查名词的应用,根据上下文可知此处应该选B项,即"每座桥都要适合其特殊目的".be suited to"适合",故选B.
87.A 考查名词的应用,后面的"nearby"指的是前面"河流的附近",据此可知此处应该用A项,即"河附近的陆地",故选A.
88.D 考查比较级,根据前面的"choose the type best suited to the river"可知应该选择D项,意思是"要选择更合适的桥",故选D.
89.C 考查动词的应用,该句主语"they"指的是前面"用纸板做的桥",后面的宾语为"five-ton truck",据此应该选择C项,即这个桥不能承受5吨的卡车,故选C.
90.B 考查名词的应用,句意:但是你可以通过多做一些实验来弄清桥梁设计的一些主要思想.根据句意可知B项符合.
点评 本题主要考查了单词的应用,主要考察介词动词名词等.做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上,灵活运用所学的基础知识.本题考到的知识点有:固定的短语,词类的转换,名词的复数形式,副词以及祈使句的用法等.因此,这就需要在平时的学习中,牢固掌握各语言点及一些语法知识.并且联系上下文,选出合适的单词.

Right then and there I decided that my(50)D Smile Card would not be anonymous.With a smile and red cheeks with (51)A,I told him that I had found what I was looking for,(52)C him the candy and Smile Card I had in my hands.He had only just finished reading the card as I arrived at my (53)B.He was still smiling and enjoying his candy when I(54)A at him on the platform.
(55)C having worked a full day,I was feeling joyful.Before I entered my (56)C,I delivered a few more Smile Cards and candy to neighbors'mailboxes.I added an extra candy bar for one neighbor who was in a (57)D financial situation,but he was working hard to get the best for his young son.I figured they both (58)B a tasty little treat.
I am (59)C from my Smile Card adventure,and am even happier to have Smile Cards(60)C,and quite a few ideas as to where to drop them.I believe giving Smile Cards to each other will bring all of us great joy.

I had a part-time job as a (43)D in a Chinese restaurant.One time,when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple,the wife asked me how the food could be served so (44)C .I told her that I (45)B they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly.As soon as I said that,her face showed great (46)D.My manager,who(47)Bto hear what I said,took me aside and gave me a long (48)D about how sensitive Americans are and (49)C they dislike the description"old".I then walked back to the table and(50)C to the wife.After the couple heard my reason,they understood that the problem was caused by (51)B differences,so they laughed and were no longer angry.
In my village in China,people are(52)Dof being old.Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty,and people who reach such a(n) (53)A have the most knowledge and experience.Young people always respect older people (54)D they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However,in the United States,people think"growing old"is a (55)Asince"old"shows a person is going to retire or(56)Dthe body is not working well.Here many people try to keep themselves away from (57)Cold by doing exercises or jogging,and women put on makeup,hoping to look young.When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly,they got angry because this caused them (58)Bthey had (59)C to stay young.I had told them something they didn't want to hear.
After that,I changed the (60)C I had been with older people.It is not that I don't respect them any more; I still respect them,but now I don't show my feelings through words.
