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。 分析：思路特點(diǎn)：注意空格后句中的詞語(yǔ)使用特點(diǎn)：空格前面中出現(xiàn)了the first job(與E中the second job呼應(yīng))，而空格后句中的 theses cables 在E中也有呼應(yīng)內(nèi)容： steel cable，因此判斷E是答案。

F They will tip up（使傾斜） the scales at 166, 500 tons – more than half the bridge’s total mass.
It is not just their length –totally 5.3 kilometers – but their weight. __4__.
4. F. 分析：思路特點(diǎn)：注意空格后句中的詞語(yǔ)使用特點(diǎn)：空格前出現(xiàn)了their length， their weight，因此判斷their可能指“橋”，剩下的選項(xiàng)中：F中提到了有關(guān)重量的數(shù)據(jù)166, 500 tons，因此F是答案。
