英语试题 阅读理解 Youre riding in the car on this family vacation. Suddenly your dad slows down. And you may see the following： 1．Bubblegum Alley San Luis Obispo, California Some call it art; others call it just plain gross. Bubblegum Alley is covered from top to bottom with wads of chewed gum, a tradition that was started mysteriously by locals in the 1950s. Some artists even created images of funny faces and the American flag. 2．Blue Whale Catoosa, Oklahoma Not ready to dive the depths of the ocean to see a blue whale? No problem. Just visit this 80-foot-long cement beast, which even has a slide and diving board so visitors can take a dip in the pond. When the artist died, the whale fell into disrepair. Neighbors couldnt stand to see the grinning whale fall apart, so they fixed it and now keep it bright with gallons of blue paint. 3.Lonesome Legs Amarillo, Texas Just what are these large legs doing in a cow pasture? According to artist Lightnin McDuff, they represent a poem about a traveler who finds a bodiless statue of an Egyptian pharaoh (法老) called Ozymandias.Using concrete over a steel frame, McDuff constructed the legs to appear as if they were made of weathered sandstone. And the socks? A prankster (恶作剧的人) keeps adding them—even though McDuff always removes the unwanted addition. 4.Giant Penguin Cut Bank, Montana Bundle up (使……穿暖)when you visit this statue, because temperatures here can get as low as 47 degrees below zero. As a nod to the frosty conditions, a local businessman built the 27-foot-tall penguin out of 10,000 pounds of concrete. The creator left for warmer weather, but the statue—7 times the height of a real emperor penguin—still stands, welcoming visitors to its chilly home. 【语篇解读】 该文讲述了四个听起来不可思议但确实存在的美国路边景点。 16．How can you see the roadside attractions?
