Passage Four
One of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel.Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880,only about one-third of the originally forested area remained,down to a mere 1 percent of the state’s 77,000 square miles.With wood and coal out of the question,and with fuel needed year-round for cooking,and during the harsh winter months for heating,some solution had to be found.
Somewhat improbably,the buffalo provided the answer.Buffalo chips (干粪块) were found to burn evenly,hotly,and cleanly,with little smoke and interestingly,no odor,Soon,collecting them became a way of life for the settlers’ children who would pick them up on their way to and from school,or take part in competitions designed to counteract their natural reluctance.Even a young man,seeking to impress the girl he wanted to marry,would arrive with a large bag of chips rather than with a box of candy or a bunch of flowers.
76.What is the main topic of this passage?

上世纪最后25年内,困扰内布拉斯加居民的最大问题就是燃料.该州自有第一批居民以来,森林覆盖率就很低,到1880年,可能仅有约1/3的森林区域被保留下来,下降到不足该州77000平方英里面积的1%.因缺乏木材和煤炭以及日常烹饪,隆冬取暖需要,发现了一些新的解决方案.
令人不可置信的是,水牛提供了答案.因干水牛粪块燃烧均匀,热烈,清洁,少烟,以及令人惊奇的没有气味,很快,搜集水牛粪块成为了当地孩童的一种生活方式.他们不仅在上下学的路上捡水牛粪块,还参加被设计用来抵消他们天分中不情愿因素的捡水牛粪块竞赛中.年轻人甚至要拎一大袋水牛粪块而非一盒糖果或者一捧花来打动他想娶的女孩.

ABBAB

在上一世纪的最后二十五年（一个世纪的四分之一），困扰 Nebraska 居民的一个最大难题是燃料问题。第一批定居者来到这个州时，很少一部分是草木丛生的。而且很可能到1880年，只有大概三分之一的原来草木覆盖的地方保留下来，降到了这个州77,000平方米面积的仅仅1%。。。懒得翻译了，太长了。。做阅读理解不需要每个单词都认识，知道大概意思就行了，像考试的时候更不可能说读完一篇文章就准备弄清楚了它的意...
