17.The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963by a local builder,Amos Peters,to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without being hurt by passing cars.
Before the bridge was built,squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building.Many times,Peters and other workers saw squirrels being run over.
One day Peters round a dead squirrel,and that day's coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety.The group of businessmen came up the squirrel bridge idea and named the bridge"Nutty Narrows."
Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started to build the bridge.It cost 1,000.
It didn't take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge stared.Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes.The story was picked up by the media,and Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world.
In 1983,after 20years of use,Peters took down the worn-out bridge.Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced.The sign was repainted and in July 1983,hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge.
Peters died in 1984.and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture(雕像) was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion(奉献) to the project.(For more pictures,see http://cn.bing.com/)

分析 本文介绍了名胜Nutty Narrow Bridge的由来.因为Peters发现经常有松鼠因为横穿马路被车压死而萌生了为松鼠建一座桥的想法,经过议会批准,他和其他人建成了这座专为松鼠通行的桥,1983年,松鼠桥重修.1984年Peters去世.但他为此而受到人们的纪念.
解答 26.D细节理解题.由第二段中的to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars可知,修建Nutty Narrow Bridge的目的是保护松鼠安全地过马路.注意不要选A,因为这座桥不是给松鼠提供吃干果的地方.
27.B细节理解题.根据第四段中的…and that day's coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety…cooked up the squirrel bridge idea可知,在某一天喝咖啡时间的讨论中,Peters和其他人萌生了给松鼠建座桥的想法.
28.D细节理解题.根据前面的guiding their young,可以推断此处应该是松鼠教它们的孩子如何使用绳索,而不是给它们递绳子,也不是给它们一个教训.
29.C细节理解题.根据文章倒数第二段中的In 1983,after 20 years of use,Peters took down the worn-out bridge.Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced.可知,绳索用了20年后,Peters进行了修缮,并替换上了新的绳索.文中没有涉及是否替换的绳索更长;第五段中提到绳索是铝制的,而且是一个architect设计的,只是说Peters和Hutch开始建设,所以C正确.
30.A细节理解题.根据最后一段中的…a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.可以推断,Peters因为爱动物,倡导修建这座桥而被人们记住.所以A正确.
