Aswan is a city on the Nile in Egypt.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 river's 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 m long and 54 m 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 m in length，and 111 m tall.It produces a hydro­electric 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.21Which is NOT the purpose of the construction of the dam?ATo prevent the river's flooding.BTo generate electricity.CTo provide water for agriculture.DTo overflow soils and bring salt to the surface.答案： D细节理解题。从第二段最后一句So，to prevent the river's flooding，generate electricity and provide water for agriculture，the Aswan High Dam was built.可知，只有D项淹没土地把盐分带到表面不是大坝建设的目的。22What's the main idea of the third paragraph?A.The process of the construction of the dam.BThe dam was rebuilt and enlarged many times.CThe USA and Britain were to help finance construction.DThe Soviet Union offered great help in the construction of the darn.答案：A主旨大意题。第三段主要讲述阿斯旺大坝从开工到竣工的过程。23Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?A.The Nile made the soil around the Nile ideal for farming.BThe whole construction of the dam began in 1899 and finished in 1902.CIn 1946，the dam was not raised for a third time but a second dam was decided to be built. DThe Aswan High Dam can produce electricity for most Egyptian villages.答案：B细节理解题。从第二段的.the water in the Nile brought nutrients and minerals that made the soil around the Nile fertile and ideal for farming.可知A项正确；从第三段的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.可知C项正确；从第四段的It produces a hydro­electric output of 2.1 gigawatts and allows for the connection of most Egyptian villages to electricity.可知D项正确；从第三段第一句In 1899，the construction of the first dam began and lasted until 1902.可知，大坝的第一批工程是在1899年到1902年完成的，但不是整个工程完成。故选B。24What will be written next?AHow to protect the dam.BThe advantages of the dam.CThe disadvantages of the dam.DThe dam attracts a lot of visitors.答案：C文章结构题。文章第四段讲了大坝所带来的好处。根据第五段In addition to the benefits，however，damming the Nile caused a number of issues.可知，接下来要讲的是大坝所引起的问题。故选C。BFor sixty years Barbara Cooney created children's
