STEP 2 精确定位答案
[fly] ![]() [/fly]
刚刚分析完了题干，现在就可以带着我们的问题来读文章了，请阅读文章，回答2个问题：
Few creations of big technology capture the imagination like giant dams. Perhaps it is humankind's long suffering at the mercy of flood and drought that makes the ideal of forcing the waters to do our bidding so fascinating. But to be fascinated is also, sometimes, to be blind. Several giant dam projects threaten to do more harm than good.
The lesson from dams is that big is not always beautiful. It doesn't help that building a big, powerful dam has become a symbol of achievement for nations and people striving to assert themselves. Egypt's leadership in the Arab world was cemented by the Aswan High Dam. Turkey's bid for First World status includes the giant Ataturk Dam.
But big dams tend not to work as intended. The Aswan Dam, for example, stopped the Nile flooding but deprived Egypt of the fertile silt that floods left — all in return for a giant reservoir of disease which is now so full of silt that it barely generates electricity.
And yet, the myth of controlling the waters persists. This week, in the heart of civilized Europe, Slovaks and Hungarians stopped just short of sending in the troops in their contention over a dam on the Danube. The huge complex will probably have all the usual problems of big dams. But Slovakia is bidding for independence from the Czechs, and now needs a dam to prove itself.

答题思考过程（海豚独家哦，仅供参考）：
51、在文中找到这一句：But to be fascinated is also, sometimes, to be blind.应该发现这句话像是谚语一样让人难以理解，那么在这个句子的前后，肯定会有关于这句话的来历或者是作者使用这句话想要表达的事情。这个句子的前面，都是说大坝的好处的，在这句话之后，就提到了大坝也有坏处。这是一个转折点。
好了，大概的结构我们理解了，可以看一下选项，A，这段文章说的是大坝的危害（海豚以前说过的，转折后面提到的事一般才是重点），可不是要说人们怎样感到幸福，A这句话的重点在happy。
B，这个和文章完全没有关系啊，这里的blind一看就知道是比喻，并不是要说真的失明。
C，过于兴奋的人容易忽略致命的事情。这个和这句话的感觉很像哦，就是说人们在高兴的时候，忘了，大坝还有危害。候选。
D，怎么又和不相关文章的视力扯上关系了？Pass掉！
那么答案就是C，其实在看到这一句的时候，再一看选项很快就可以和C对上号的，因为咱们中文里也有类似的成语嘛，to be fascinated is also to be blind“得意忘形”？O(∩_∩)o...哈哈
52、在第四段里可以找到myth这个词，说的是大坝可以防洪水，那么对应的选项是D，为了保险起见，咱们还要检查一下是不是其他的选项不成立。
A，带来土壤，第三段里说到，注意看but后面的内容。deprived Egypt of the fertile silt
that floods left，没有土壤哦。
B，有助于保护国家不受侵略，大家看这一句，become a symbol of achievement for nations and people striving to assert themselves，这里明明说的是作为一个国家的象征，而不是要作为战略使用的东西。
C，增强国家之间的联系，这个……有点牵强啊，整篇都没看到和这个有关系的内容……
回过头来看，还是咱们的D选项最合适了。
