31、题为题组 Located in Black Canyon straddling the border between Nevada and Arizona in the southwestern region of the United States, Hoover Dam is named one of the Top 10 Construction Achievements of the 20th century. The dam, constructed between 1931 and 1936, was the largest of its kind at the time. Its
32、 construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers and cost over one hundred lives. Since about 1900, the Black Canyon and nearby Boulder Canyon had been investigated for their potential to support a dam that would control floods, provide irrigation water, and produce hy
33、droelectric power. In 1928, the US Congress authorized the project. The winning bid to build the dam was submitted by Six Companies, Inc. However, such a large concrete structure had never been built before, and some of the techniques were unproven. The extreme summer heat and lack of facilities nea
34、r the site also presented tremendous difficulties. Nevertheless, Six Companies turned over the finished dam to the federal government on March 1, 1936, more than two years ahead of schedule. The initial design of the dam, which was more concerned with the dams functionality than its exterior, was cr
35、iticized by many as being too plain and unremarkable for a project of such immense scale. So Gordon B. Kaufmann, the architect who was brought in to redesign the exterior, greatly streamlined the design and applied an elegant Art Deco style to the entire project. Allen Tupper True, an American illus
36、trator, was also hired to handle the design and decoration of the walls and floors of the new dam. He integrated into his design the images and colors based on Native American visions of rain, lightning, clouds, and animals, thereby creating symbolic patterns which appear both ancient and modern. To
37、day, Hoover Dam has become a national historic landmark. Standing at more than 725 feet above the Colorado River, the highest concrete dam in the Western Hemisphere continues to draw crowds 85 years after its creation, attracting more than a million visitors a year. 36. Which of the following is NOT
38、 mentioned as a reason for building the dam in the beginning? (A) To promote tourism.(B) To support agriculture. 英文考卷第 1 页共 9 页 (C) To generate electricity.(D) To prevent natural disasters. 37. Which of the following statements is true about Hoover Dam? (A) Its construction lasted for more than a de
39、cade. (B) It is strong in functionality, but plain in design. (C) Its site stretches over two states in the United States. (D) It became famous because it led to the discovery of Black Canyon. 38. According to the passage, what did Six Companies, Inc. experience in the process of building the dam? (
40、A) It was defeated by the harsh working conditions. (B) It lost some workers in the construction of the dam. (C) It benefited from prior experience of building dams of similar scale. (D) It gave up the project authorized by the government before the deadline. 39. What contribution did Gordon B. Kauf
41、mann make to Hoover Dam? (A) He improved the outer appearance of the dam. (B) He enhanced the practical functions of the dam. (C) He added aboriginal flavor to the design of the floor. (D) He decorated the walls of the dam with images from nature. 第 40 至 43 题为题组 France gave birth to restaurants, but
42、 it was no civilized affair. In fact, todays restaurant business is a byproduct of the class warfare that arose during the French Revolution. Back in the Middle Ages, fine dining was a privilege enjoyed exclusively by noble families who had their own grand kitchens and personal chefs. The only comme
43、rcial diners for the masses were dusty, shabby roadside inns, where strangers crowded around mediocre buffets of lukewarm roasts and over-sauced beans. But sometime in the 1760s, the merchant class of Paris developed a taste for healthy clear broths which were considered restorative; hence the term
44、“restaurant.” By the 1780s, this new Parisian “healthy food” craze led to a handful of reputable dining halls, where customers could sit at individual tables and choose from a wide range of dishes. Ironically, the popularity of these restaurants grew at a time when the majority of the French populat
45、ion could not afford bread. Decades of harsh winters and oppressive taxation had taken their toll on kitchen tables. By 1789, the starving French masses could no longer be controlled. Looting and riots erupted throughout Paris, ushering in the French Revolution. Rich nobles fled to the countryside,
46、leaving behind their highly skilled chefs and the fine wines from their cellars. Suddenly, unemployed cooks found their way to the citys eateries, and within a year, nearly 50 elegant restaurants had popped up in Paris. The restaurant business truly came into its own during the early 1800s, after Ge
47、neral Napoleon seized control of the country. He granted “freedom of pleasure” to all citizens, as he reasoned that people who were focused on champagne and fine food probably would not conspire against him. The number of restaurants rose quickly. By 1814, about three thousand restaurants were liste
48、d in a popular travel guide. Paris became the center of the new restaurant scene, which, to some degree, it remains today. 40. According to the passage, where does the word “restaurant” originate from? (A) Famous chefs.(B) Popular soups.(C) Dining halls.(D) Daily menus. 41. What does “taken their to
49、ll on kitchen tables” mean in the third paragraph? (A) Deprived people of adequate food for living. 英文考卷第 1 页共 9 页 (B) Controlled the nutrients in peoples diet. (C) Charged people for using kitchen tables. (D) Paid tribute to chefs working in kitchens. 42. Which of the following is true about commer
50、cial diners before the French Revolution? (A) Many fine restaurants were owned by highly skilled chefs. (B) Reputable dining halls were popular in Paris during the 1760s. (C) Public dining halls in the Middle Ages were run-down and dirty. (D) A limited variety of food was served in Parisian restaura
