Seattle has its Space Needle. And, Longview has its squirrel bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmark. The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars. The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds. Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels. Many times, Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over. One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth, and that days coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政会).The Council approved, and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere named the bridge “Nutty Narrows.”After architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started Construction, They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire hose(消防水带). It cost 1,000. It didnt take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes. The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became know in newspapers all over the world. In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge. Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced. The faded 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 was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project. 21.

A. had started B. has started C. started D. starts 答案：C解析：根据句中的两个动作的时间先后和前句中的after判断，start的动作应该是在send之后，send是“过去之过去”的动作，所以后面的动作应该用一般过去时。2The manager was concerned to hear that two of his trusted workers _. A. will leave B. are leaving C. have leftD. were leaving 答案：D试题解析：句意为：听到自己最信任的两个职员要离去，经理很关注。动词leave发生在过去，而且表达的是“要离去”之意，因此用leave过去进行式表示过去将要发生的动作。3Have you finished reading Jane Eyre?No, I _ my homework all day yesterday.A. was doing B. would do C. has done D. do答案A 句意：你读完了Jane Eyre吗？没有，我昨天一直做作业。解析：根据选项此题考察时态，此题可以根据句意解答，也可以使用排除法。A表示一段时间内持续进行且未完成的动作使用进行时。题干中有all day yesterday时间提示为过去，应该选择与过去相关的时态，排除D。B为过去将来时不符合题意，C过去完成时是过去的过去，使用过去完成时题目中需要有一般过去时，题干中没有一般过去时因此也排除。4When you are home , give a call to let me know you _ safely.A. are arriving B. have arrived C. had arrived D. will arrive答案：B句意：当你到家的时候，打电话给我让我知道你已经到家了。解析：根据选项此题考察时态。此题可以根据句意也可以使用排除法。 句意为“当你到家的时候，打电话给我让我知道你已经到家了”B选项使用现在完成时表示将来完成，译为“已经”。同时也可以使用排除法，arrive既可以使用现在进行时表示将来也可以用will + do表示将来，因此A和D同时排除，C为过去完成时，使用过去完成时时句中一定要有一般过去时，过去完成时是过去的过去，因此C也排除，选择B.5The discovery of gold in Australia led thousands to believe that a fortune _.A. is made B. would make C. was to be made D. had made 答案：C句意：在澳洲金矿的发现使千百人相信将会发财。解析：根据选项此题考察时态和语态。make fortune译为“发财”，make在句中需要使用被动形式，因此排除B和D，题干中led提示时间为过去，因此选择C。be to do译为“将会将要”，was to be made表示过去将来。6Edward, you play so well. But I you played the piano.A. didnt know B. hadnt knownC. dont know D. havent known答案：A解析：句意为：爱德华,你打得好。但我不知道你弹钢琴。所谈论的是指过去行为，故用过去式。7-Kevin, you look worried. Anything wrong? -Well, I a test and Im waiting for the result. A. will take B. took C. had taken D. take答案：B解析：此题无难度。考查时态和情景交际。问者关切询问出了什么事，回答者说：“我参加了一个考试，我正在等结果。”用一般过去时。极少数考生可能会不小心选成C，但过去完成时连过去的基点都没有，无从谈起。8Food supplies in the flood-stricken area . We must act immediately before theres left.A. have run out B. are running out C. have been run out D. are being run out答案：B解析：此题考查时态。“在遭受洪水袭击的地区，食物供给快完了。我们必须赶在(食物)一无所剩之前立刻行动起来。”从句子后半句我们可以知道受灾灾区食物还有少许，还没有到山穷水尽的地步，只是所剩已经不多。所以我们选用现在进行时表示“即将”。另外，run out这个词组没有被动语态形式。故不选D。9If may car _more reliable, I would have driven to Lhasa instead of flying last summer.A. was B. had beenC. should be D. would be答案：B解析：考查虚拟语气。根据主语的谓语动词可知题干是表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，从句谓语动词用had done，选B。10Can I call you back at two oclock this afternoon? Im sorry, but by then I_ to Beijing. How about five?A. fly B. will fly C. will be flying D. am flying 解析：C解析：考查动词时态。根据问句中的two oclock和应答句中的by then可知所填词表示的动作在当时正在进行，用将来进行时，选C。21. The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in order to _. A. offer squirrels a place to eat nutsB. set up a local landmarkC. help improve traffic D. protect squirrels【答案】D【解析】由第二段中的to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing
