Question

【題目】The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco，California is one of the world's most beautiful bridges. It is also one of the most visited places in the world. Vehicles(車輛) cross the bridge an average of 41 million times each year.More than 1,800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridge since it opened more than 70 years ago.

The bridge was painted “International Orange” because that color went well with the natural surroundings. The color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area. But the Golden Gate Bridge was not named for its orange color. It was named for the body of water that it crosses，the Golden Gate Strait.

The Golden Gate Strait is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. The Golden Gate Bridge links the city of San Francisco with Marin County, California.

Planning for the bridge began in the 1920s when the area around San Francisco was growing. People living in the area needed another way to get to the city besides small ferries(渡船).

Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer for the project. Work began in 1934. Mr. Strauss demanded the strongest safety protections in the history of bridge building. These included the first use of “hard hats” to protect the workers' heads and special glasses to protect their eyes.

A special safety net was suspended(掛) under the bridge. This net saved the lives of 19 men during the construction. However, 11 other workers were killed when they fell from the bridge through the net. Still，this was a new safety record for the time.

The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937. It extends 1,280 meters across the water. The total length is 2,737 meters. It was the largest suspension bridge(吊橋) in the world until 1964. That is when the Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in New York City. Today, the Golden Gate Bridge is the ninth longest suspension bridge in the world.

【4】B

【解析】

試題分析：本文是一篇說明文。美國舊金山市的金門橋是世界著名的橋梁之一。金門橋由工程師Joseph Strauss負責(zé)修建，于1937年完工。金門橋長達2，737米，在1964年之前是世界上最大的吊橋。

【1】D 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句It was named for the body of water that it crosses，the Golden Gate Strait.可知，金門橋得名于這座橋跨越的海峽——金門海峽。故選D。

【2】C 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第二句People living in the area needed another way to get to the city besides small ferries(渡船)．可知，在金門橋修建之前，人們乘渡船通過金門海峽。故選C。

【3】A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段A special safety net was suspended(掛) under the bridge. This net saved the lives of 19 men during the construction. However，11 other workers were killed when they fell from the bridge through the net. 可知，在建造金門橋時，橋下掛著一張安全網(wǎng)，目的是避免建筑工人墜落。故選A。

【4】B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章的第五、第六段可知，負責(zé)修建金門橋的工程師Joseph Strauss非常注重保護建筑工人的安全，他采取了一些有效措施確保工人的安全。故選B。

推理判斷題要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基礎(chǔ)上，做出一定的推理判斷，從而得到文章的隱含意義和深層意義。推理判斷題所涉及的內(nèi)容可能是文中的某一句話，也可能是某幾句話，所以，推理題的答案只能是根據(jù)原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即對原文某一句話或某幾句話所作的同義改寫或綜合。推理判斷題的題干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等標志性詞語。 這種題型主要包括細節(jié)判斷題、態(tài)度觀點推斷題、寫作意圖推斷題、文章出處判斷題和猜測想象推斷題。4小題A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章的第五、第六段可知，負責(zé)修建金門橋的工程師Joseph Strauss非常注重保護建筑工人的安全，他采取了一些有效措施確保工人的安全。故選A。
