根据文中“theloadforceisn’tpushedstraightdownwards”和后面的“beingpushed…”我们可以知道答案为prevent:preventtheloadforce(from)beingpushedstraightdownwards。74.distribution 信息转换题

根据文中“Inotherwords,theforceactingonthebridgehorizontalisdistributedequally”句子中的“distributed”进行转换,结合空前的“equal”是形容词,所以这儿应该填其名词的形式distribution。75.resistant

信息转换题

根据文中“Thissemi-circularstructurethusenablesahigherlevelofresistancetothebendingforcewhichmayhavealteredorchangedthebridge”句子中的“resistance”进行转换,结合空前的“more”可知这儿要填的是形容词resistant。76.available

信息归纳题

根据“Theycanbebuiltusingawiderangeofmaterialsthatincludenaturaloneslikestones,bricks,etc.,aswellasman-madematerialslikereinforcedconcreteorsteel.”的叙述说明建筑拱桥所能利用的材料很多。“Diversematerialsusedtobuildarchbridgesareavailable(可获得的)”与文章表述一致。77.sustainable

信息转换题

根据文中“Naturalorlocalmaterialsaidinsustainabilityandarestrongincompression”句子中的“sustainability”进行转换,结合空前的“makingthem”可知这儿要用形容词(sustainable)作“making”的宾语补足语。78.depends

信息归纳题

根据文中“Thesizesofarchesandthematerialsusedcandeterminetheweightthatanarchbridgeiscapableofbearing.”,结合空格后面的“on”我们可以得到答案为dependon(取决于,依赖)。“howmuchweightitcanbeardependsonitssizeandbuildingmaterials(拱桥究竟能够承受多大的重量取决于桥的大小和建筑材料)”与文章表述一致。本题也可以从原文中的“determine决定”一词得到提示。79.frequently/regularly

信息转换题

根据文中“…Thus,frequentcarebecomesnecessary.Thismayfurthergiverisetoextramaintenancecosts”说明(由于自然界风力的影响)对拱桥要经常或定期进行维护保养,结合空前的“maintaining”是动词,所以这儿要用副词(frequently/regularly)来修饰。80.consumption信息归纳题

根据文中“Thus,theirconstructionrequiresmoretime,mostlynoticedinthecaseofnaturalmaterials.Also,morelabormayberequired”进行归纳。“Theconstructionofanarchbridgeistheconsumptionofmoretimeandlabor.(建筑一座拱桥需要耗费更多的时间和人力)”与文章表述一致。三、阅读理解19.WhenGeoffMarcywas14,hisparentsboughthimatelescope.Everynight,hewouldgoontotheroofoutsidehiswindowtoseethewondersofthesky.
