　　A．To replace an old bridge.

　　B．To set up a model for bridge construction.

　　C．To build a long－span bridge for the Civil War.

　　D．To provide faster and safer transportation than boats.

　　答案：D　细节理解题。由第一段第二、三两句话“Spanning New York's East River, it provided the first traffic artery between Manhattan Island and Brooklyn.Before that, the only transportation was by ferries, which were slow and could be dangerous in winter.”可知，布鲁克林大桥提供了比渡船更加安全快捷的交通。

　　30．Which of the following is TRUE about the Brooklyn Bridge?

　　A．It was built in 1865.

　　B．It is shorter than originally planned.
