5.In 1883,a creative engineer,John Roebling,was inspired to build a splendid bridge connecting New York with Long Island.However,experts throughout the world thought that this was (16)A.Even so,Roebling could not (17)C the idea in his mind.After much discussion,he (18)D convince his son Washington,an up-and-coming engineer,that the bridge in fact could be built.They hired their (19)B and began to build their dream bridge.Only a few months (20)C the project was underway a tragic on-site accident killed John Roebling and (21)A injured his son,leaving him brain-damaged and unable to move or (22)D.Surely now the project would have to be (23)B.Though Washington Roebling lay in his hospital bed,he was not (24)A and his mind remained as (25)A as it was before the accident.Suddenly an idea (26)D him.All he could move was one finger,so he (27)C the arm of his wife with that finger,(28)C to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again.Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do.For 13years Washington tapped out his (29)B with one finger until the bridge was (30)C completed.
Perhaps this is one of the best examples of never-say-die attitude that (31)A a terrible physical disability and achieves an impossible (32)D.Often when we face difficulties in our daily lives,our problems seem very small (33)C what many others have to face.The Brooklyn Bridge shows us that even the most (34)B dream can be realized with (35)A no matter what the chances are.

分析 文章主要讲述了华盛顿•罗布林,满怀激情,子承父志--建一座连接纽约和长岛的壮观的桥,克服严重的身体残疾,实现了看似不可能的目标,说明激情可以创造奇迹.
解答 16.A.考查上下文串联.从上文的however和下文可知,其他专家认为这项工程困难太大,不可能完成,故impossible正确.
17.C.考查上下文串联.由上下文可知,约翰•罗布林认为工程是可以完成的,所以不愿放弃,故C项ignore符合文意,此时,应特别注意空前的否定词not.
18.D.考查上下文串联.由下文可知,父子二人共同开始这项工程,说明约翰•罗布林说服了儿子,只有managed to能表达这一含义.attempt to 和seek to都可表示"试图",但并不一定成功.
19.B.考查名词辨析.crew指"(有专门技术的)一组工作人员",而建设桥梁这样的工作正需要这样的人,所以B.crew为正确答案.其它选项与文意显然不符.
20.C.考查上下文串联.由下文可知,工程刚开始不久就发生了事故,父子二人一死一伤,连词after最符合文意.
21.A.考查上下文串联.由下文leaving him brain-damaged and unable to move可知,儿子华盛顿•罗布林伤势严重,故选A.severely.
22.D.考查上下文串联.由下文华盛顿•罗布林用敲打手指的方法来传递信息可知事故使他失去了行走及说话能力,故选D.talk.注意say是及物动词,要有宾语,从语法角度可以被排除.
23.B.考查动词辨析.由文意可知,既然工程的两位工程师都无法指挥,那么工程应该放弃了,故B 项abandon正确.
24.A.考查上下文串联.由上下文可知,儿子华盛顿身体受到极大创伤,但(精神)没有被厄运打败,故defeat正确.
25.A.考查形容词辨析.A选项sharp可以用来指人的头脑、眼睛等敏锐,由上下文可知,华盛顿身在医院,但头脑仍十分敏锐,所以能成功地指挥工人完成桥梁建设.其它选项与文意不符.
26.D.考查上下文串联.由上下文可知,华盛顿无法走动和谈话,但他想到可以用手指敲打来传递信息.D项hit表示"使(某人)突然想起";occurto也可表达此意,但要注意介词to丢掉是错误的.
27.C.考查上下文串联.由上下文tapping her arm可知,Washington开始用手指敲打来传递信息,所以C.项touched正确.
28.C.考查动词辨析.由文意可知,华盛顿用手指敲打,是想"告诉"妻子如何去做,indicating符合此意.
29.B.考查名词辨析.由文意可知,华盛顿作为桥梁的工程师,"指挥"完成了工程,所以instructions正确.
30.C.考查上下文串联.由上文可知,工程浩大而困难,但最终他们完成了,此处只有eventually能表示此含义.
31.A.考查上下文串联.由上文可知,华盛顿身残志坚,克服了重重困难完成了工程.正是这种永不言弃(never-say-die)的精神,使其克服了身体的残疾,所以A项overcome最符合文意.
32.D.考查名词辨析.由文意和achieves可知,华盛顿达到了一个原本不可能完成的目标,故goal正确.
33.C.考查短语辨析.由文意可知,作者在从此事中告诉读者,很多情况下,我们的问题和其他人面临的问题相比较是微不足道的,故compared to正确.
34.B.考查上下文串联.由上下文可知,即使是看起来不可能的梦想只要有决心就会实现的,故distant正确.
35.A.考查名词辨析.这个故事告诉我们要想成功,要有顽强的决心,故determination符合文意.
点评 完形填空答题前一定要读懂全文,弄清文章要表达的思想,注意前后段落之间的关系.答题中,一定要认真分析,注意选项与上下文的关系,与前后单词的关系.对于一时没有太大的把握的题可以放到最后再来完成,因为有时答案可以从下文内容体现出来.答完后再通读一篇文章,看看所选选项能不能是语句通顺,语意连贯.
