The worlds longest bridge
Rumor1 has it that a legendary2 sixheaded monster lurks3 in the deep waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea between Italy and the island of Sicily．When completed in 2010，the worlds longest bridge will weigh nearly 300，000 tonsequivalent to the iceberg4 that sank the Titanic5and stretch 5 kilometers long．Thats nearly 50 percent longer than any other bridge ever built，says structural6 engineer Shane Rixon．
Theyre suspension bridges，massive structures built to span vast water channels or gorges7．A suspension bridge needs just two towers to shoulder the structures mammoth8 weight，thanks to hefty supporting cables slung9 between the towers and anchored firmly in deep pools of cement at each end of the bridge．The Messina Strait Bridge will have two 54，100-ton towers，which will support most of the bridges load．The beefy cables of the bridge．each 1.2 meter in diameter, will hold up the longest and widest bridge deck ever built．
When construction begins on the Messina Strait Bridge in 2005，the first job will be to erect10 two 370 meter-tall steel towers．Getting these cables up will be something．Its not just their lengthtotally 5.3 kilometersbut their weight．
After lowering verticalsuspendercables from the main cables．builders will erect a 60 meter-wide 54．630-ton steel roadway, or deckwide enough to accommodate 12 lanes of traffic．The decks weight will pull down on the cables with a force of 70，500 tons．In return，the cables yank up against their firmly rooted anchors with a force of 1 39。000 tonsequivalent to the weight of about 100，000 cars．Those anchors are essential．

A Some environmentalists are against the project on biological grounds．

Rumor has it that a legendary six-headed monster lurks in the deep waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea between Italy and the island of Sicily. __1__ When completed in 2010, the worlds longest bridge will weigh nearly 300,000 tons equivalent to the iceberg that sank the Titanic.
1. C。剖析：思路特征：注意空格前后句中的词汇用特征：前句中发现了a legendary six-headed monster（与C中的the beast呼应），而C中的the Messina Strait （Bridge）也在空格前句中有呼应的内容：the deep waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea between Italy and the island of Sicily，有两个线索可以表明C是答案，因此判断C是答案。
A Some environmentalists are against the project on biological grounds.
B What do the worlds longest bridges have in common?
D Theyre what will keep the bridge from going anywhere.
E The second job will be to pull two sets of steel cables across the strait, each set being a bundle of 44,352 inpiduals steel wires.
F They will tip up（使倾斜） the scales at 166, 500 tons more than half the bridges total mass.
__2__. Theyre suspension bridges, massive structures built to span vast water channels or gorges. A suspension bridge needs just two towers to should the structures mammoth weight, ..
2. B. 剖析：思路特征：注意空格后句中的词汇用特征：空格后面连续两句都涉及到了suspension bridge/吊桥因此判断空格处出现对吊桥进行讲述的句子的可能性最大，但被选项中没该词出现，注意到空格后的句子中出现了代词They，该词的出现表明前面有复数的名词与之相呼应，而且They内容是指桥，因此排除A，C和E， F（没与They呼应的内容），所以答案是B。
A Some environmentalists are against the project on biological grounds.
D Theyre what will keep the bridge from going anywhere.
E The second job will be to pull two sets of steel cables across the strait, each set being a bundle of 44,352 inpiduals steel wires.
F They will tip up（使倾斜） the scales at 166, 500 tons more than half the bridges total mass.
When construction begins on the Messina Strait Bridge in 2005, the first job will be to erect two 370 meter-tall steel towers. __3__. Getting these cables up will be something.
3. E。 剖析：思路特征：注意空格后句中的词汇用特征：空格前面中出现了the first job，而空格后句中的 theses cables 在E中也有呼应内容： steel cable，因此判断E是答案。
A Some environmentalists are against the project on biological grounds.
D Theyre what will keep the bridge from going anywhere.
F They will tip up（使倾斜） the scales at 166, 500 tons more than half the bridges total mass.
It is not just their length totally 5.3 kilometers but their weight. __4__.
4. F. 剖析：思路特征：注意空格后句中的词汇用特征：空格前出现了their length， their weight，因此判断their可能指桥，剩下的选项中：F中提到了有关重量的数据166, 500 tons，因此F是答案。
A Some environmentalists are against the project on biological grounds.
D Theyre what will keep the bridge from going anywhere.
Those anchors are essential. __5__.
5. D。剖析：思路特征：注意空格后句中的词汇用特征：空格前面出现了Those anchors（这类桥桩），而D中的句意（它们是预防桥移动的东西）正是讲解了桥桩有哪些用途
