9、cientwaysofusinghumanmusclepower,theforceofeverylegandarmwasanalyzedandmeasured可知,列奧納多以前所未有的方式研究了肌肉力量,因此作者說他的方法“具有革命性”。2.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容可知,建造運河的過程很辛苦,列奧納多不斷推翻方案,但仍然意志堅定、不言放棄;根據(jù)第四段內(nèi)容可知,列奧納多創(chuàng)造性地運用踏車使吊車運行。故D項正確。3.A詞義猜測題。根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容可知,由于時代的局限性,人們往往低估列奧納多的見識。實際上,很多學者仍然拒絕“承認”列奧納多是我們最早、最重要的工程師之一。.七選五(2018山東日照高
