As waters from East Africa flowed down the river, the water in the Nile brought nutrients and minerals that made the soil around the Nile fertile and ideal for farming, but at the same time, it caused serious floods. So, to prevent the rivers flooding, generate electricity and provide water for agriculture, the Aswan High Dam was built. In 1899, the construction of the first dam began and lasted until 1902. The dam was 1, 900 meters long and 54 meters high then. However, the dam was soon found not big enough and the height of the dam was raised twice. When the dam almost overflowed again in 1946, it was decided that rather than raise the dam a third time, a second dam would be built 6 km upriver. Proper planning began in 1952. At first the USA and Britain were to help finance construction. But both nations cancelled the offer for reasons not entirely known. At last, the Soviet Union stepped in, and possibly a third of the cost of the dam was paid for as a gift. The Soviets also provided technicians and heavy machinery. Construction began in 1960, and was completed on July 21, 1970. The Aswan High Dam is 3, 600 meters in length, and 111 meters high. It produces a hydro-electric output of 2. 1 gigawatts and allows for the connection of most Egyptian villages to electricity. In addition to the benefits, however, damming the Nile caused a number of issues. 【语篇概述】本文是一篇说明文。作者在文中向读者详细介绍了尼罗河上的阿斯旺大坝从开工到竣工的过程以及阿斯旺大坝所起的作用。1.

She wrote some. And she provided pictures for her own books and for books written by others. Her name appears on one hundred and ten books in all. The last book was published six months before her death. It is called Basket Moon. It was written by Mary Lyn Ray. It tells the story of a boy who lived a century ago with his family in the mountains in New York state. His family makes baskets that are sold in town. One magazine describes Barbara Cooneys paintings in Basket Moon as quiet and beautiful. It says they tie together “the basket makers natural world and the work of his craft”. Barbara Cooney was known for her carefully detailed work. One example is in her artwork for the book Eleanor. It is about Eleanor Roosevelt, who became the wife of President Franklin Roosevelt. Miss Cooney made sure that a dress worn by Eleanor as a baby was historically correct down to the smallest details. Another example of her detailed work is in her retelling of Chanticleer and the Fox. She took the story from the Canterbury Tales by English poet Geoffrey Chaucer. Barbara Cooney once said that every flower and grass in her pictures grew in Chaucers time in fourteenth century England. Barbara Cooney wondered at times if her concern about details was worth the effort. “How many children will know or care? ”she said. “Maybe not a single one. Still I keep piling it on. Detail after detail. Whom am I pleasing besides myself? I dont know. Yet if I put enough in my pictures, there may be something for everyone. Not all will be understood, but some will be understood now and maybe more later. ”【语篇概述】本文主要介绍了Barbara Cooney(芭芭拉库尼)这位美国作家的情况。5. The book Basket Moon was written by. A. Barbara
