Question 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Every generation has its defining works. More than 300,000 people worked to put a man on the Moon. Millions of more people built the Hoover Dam and other great projects. These projects didn't just provide purpose for the people doing those jobs; they gave our whole country a sense of pride that we could do great things.Now it's our turn to do great things. I know, you're probably thinking: I don't know how to build a dam, or get a million people involved in anything. But let me tell you a secret: No one does when they begin. Ideas don't come out fully formed. They only become clear as you work on them. You just have to get started.It's good to be idealistic. But be prepared to be misunderstood. Anyone working on a big vision will get called crazy, even if you end up right. Anyone taking the initiative will get criticized for moving too fast, because there's always someone who wants to slow you down. In our society, we often don't do big things because we're so afraid of making mistakes that we ignore the fact that all the things will be wrong today if we do nothing. The reality is, anything we do will have issues in the future. But that can't keep us from starting.So what are we waiting for? It's time for our generation-defining public works. How about stopping climate change before we destroy the planet and getting millions of people involved in manufacturing and installing solar panels? How about curing all diseases and asking volunteers to track their health data and share their genomes (基因组)? How about modernizing democracy so everyone can vote online, and personalizing education so everyone can learn? These achievements are within our reach. Let's do them all in a way that gives everyone in our society a role.22. What can be got from the projects mentioned in Para. 1?A. Great jobs.B. Public concern.C. Defining works.D. A sense of pride.

题目解答
答案
解析
本题考查对文章段落内容的理解和信息提取能力。解题思路是仔细阅读第一段，明确提到的项目以及这些项目所带来的影响，然后将各选项与原文内容进行逐一比对分析。
- 首先，明确第一段中提到了超过30万人参与的登月计划以及数百万人建造的胡佛水坝等项目。
- 接着，文中指出“These projects didn't just provide purpose for the people doing those jobs; they gave our whole country a sense of pride that we could do great things”，即这些项目不仅为从事这些工作的人提供了目标，还让整个国家有了一种能成就伟大事业的自豪感。
- 然后分析各选项：
- A选项“Great jobs”，原文强调的是项目给参与者带来了工作的目标（purpose），并非单纯指“好工作”，所以A选项不准确。
- B选项“Public concern”，在第一段中并没有提及公众的关注，所以B选项不符合原文内容。
- C选项“Defining works”，这是项目本身，而题目问的是从这些项目中能得到什么，并非项目本身，所以C选项不正确。
- D选项“A sense of pride”，与原文中“gave our whole country a sense of pride”表述一致，所以D选项正确。
