kilometers long and 185 meters high-as tall as a 60-story building!
Today,the dam plays a key role in China.It has greatly reduced flood risks,protecting cities
and farmlands.The dam's power stations produce clean electricity for millions of homes and
factories,helping reduce air pollution.Its connected vessel (system helps ships pass.

The Three Gorges Dam is not just a damit's a symbol of China's courage and creativity.
Visitors from around the world come to see this modern wonder.Students learn about its scientific

D

have greatly changed our life
二、1.B根据上文“Some inventions seem simple,but
they have a huge impact..”可知,这里是说轮于是一个很简
单的发明。
2.B根据后文“They had to carry them on their backs or
pull them with ropes..”可知,在轮子发明之前,人们移动重
物很困难。
3.A根据后文“It was easier to move goods from one
place to another..”可知,轮子使得运输变得快多了。
4.C根据前文more trade以及轮于促进了运输的语境可
知,这里是说不同群体之间的交流更多了。

role in China.It has greatly reduced flood risks,protecting
cities and farmlands.The dam's power stations produce
clean electricity for millions of homes and factories,helping
reduce air pollution.Its connected vessel system helps
ships pass.”可知,三峡大坝可防洪、发电以及改善船运
条件」
2.C推理判断题。根据“Its connected vessel system
helps ships pass.Ships enter a lock,and gates close.
11
Water level inside the lock rises or falls to match the next
section.When the water levels become the same,gates
open,and the ship moves to the next lock.”可知,连通器系
统助力船舶通行船只进入水闸后,闸门关闭,闸室内水
位上升或下降至与下一河段齐平,待水位一致时,闸门开启
船只即可驶人下一闸室。连通器原理和图C所示相符。
3.C篇章结构题。通读全文可知,第一段是引出话题,介
绍三峡大坝,第二至四段属于主体,介绍了建设背景、过程
和功能作用,最后一段总结升华,呈“总一分一总”结构,与
选项C的图示相符。
长难句解读
原句:The dam teaches us that with determination,
humans can overcome even the most difficult challenges
of nature.
结构剖析:主语是The dam,谓语是teaches,后面的us作
间接宾语,以及that引导的宾语从句作直接宾语。宾语
从句中,with determination是状语,主句是“humans can
overcome..”。
翻译:这座大坝教导我们,只要有决心,人类甚至能克服
自然界最艰巨的挑战

One possible version:
There have been many great inventions in the world.
Most of them have changed the way we live.For example,
one of the greatest inventions was the wheel.It is very
important today.With the wheel,it is easier to carry heavy
things and to travel long distances.There are many other
great inventions.These inventions have become important
parts of our life today.
I think new inventions will allow us to do things we
have never dreamed of some day.In a word,more
inventions are still needed.As students,we should work
hard to have our own inventions.
