Question

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容完成后面各項任務。
Skyscrapers are very tall buildings in a city. Looking up at them might make you dizzy (眩暈的). Looking down from them might make you dizzy too. A skyscraper is a wonder (奇觀), whether you are looking up or down.
How can the buildings be so tall? Something that happened during the 1880s made it possible. There were two important things at that time First, a man named William Jenney got the idea of using a steel frame to hold up the walls and floors (鋼架支撐墻壁和地面) of a building. Jenney's idea made it possible to build taller buildings, so he is called the "Father of the American skyscraper". Second, the lifts improved They got much faster and safer. That helped people go up and down the tall buildings more easily.
Back in the 1880s, Jenney's first tall building was 10 stories (樓層) high. But today, some buildings have 100 stories or more. In 2004, Taipei 101, at 101 stories high, became the tallest building in the world. But soon the Burj Khalifa in Dubai overtook (超過) it in 2010. The 828-metre building has 163 stories.
現(xiàn)在全世界有許多非常高的建筑物。For example，Shanghai Tower in China，One World Trade Centre in the US，Abraj Al-Bait Clock Tower in Saudi Arabia etc All of them are really wonderful，aren't they?

【解析】本文介紹世界上的摩天大樓。
⑴細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的Skyscrapers are very tall buildings in a city可知摩天大樓就是城市里的高樓，所以答案是：They are very tall buildings in a city.。
⑵細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的so he is called the "Father of the American skyscraper"可知他被叫做“美國摩天大樓之父”，he指威廉·杰尼，所以答案是：William Jenney.。
⑶英譯漢。短語：go up and down上下……。help sb do 幫助某人做某事；所以答案是：那幫助人們更容易地上下高大建筑物。。
⑷詞義猜測。it通常指前文中提到的事物。根據(jù)前文的描述：在2004年，臺北101成為世界上最高的建筑；但是很快迪拜的哈里發(fā)塔超越了它，所以it指的是“臺北101”，所以答案是：Taipei 101.。
⑸漢譯英。短語all over the world全世界；根據(jù)句意可知用there be句型，主語應是many very tall buildings，所以答案是：Now there are many very tall buildings all over the world.。
