查看习题详情和答案>>bridges in the world. It has a simple, graceful shape, and is painted in an attractive orange.
Work on the Golden Gate Bridge started in 1933 and continued for the next four years. The total cost of the bridge was US$35 million. At that time, its span of 1,200 meters made the Golden Gate Bridge the
longest suspension(悬浮) bridge in the world. The bridge is 2.7 kilometers long and, at the middle point,
70 meters above the water of San Francisco Bay. The main cables that hold the bridge are one meter in
diameter. The bridge can safely withstand(抵挡) winds of up to 160 kilometers an hour, and it can sway(摇摆) as much as 8 meters in strong winds.
On Thursday, May 27, 1937, 200,000 people walked across the bridge to mark its opening. People
are still allowed to walk across: it takes about half an hour each way. It is worth the effort. As you cross,
you understand the engineering skill that went into the construction of the bridge. You also get wonderful
views of San Francisco and the Bay Area.
The Golden Gate Bridge has been the scene of many events since it was completed. It was shaken by
the earthquake of 1989. Daredevil(喜欢冒险的) pilots have flown their planes under it. Sadly, too, some people have taken their own lives by jumping from the bridge. But throughout its history, the Golden Gate Bridge has been the symbol of San Francisco, like the Temple of Heaven symbolizes Beijing and the
Eiffel Tower symbolizes Paris
B. Three (steep hills, earthquakes, the prison island of Alcatraz).
C. Four (Golden Gate Bridge, steep hills, earthquakes, the prison island of Alcatraz).
D. Five (the orange color of the bridge, the shape of the bridge, steep hills, earthquakes, the prison island
of Alcatraz).
B. more than 70
C. about 15
D. about 50
B. It can fight back strong winds of up to 180 kilometers an hour.
C. It has caused many deaths since its opening.
D. It is the symbol of the history of San Francisco.
25 miles an hour or more.But,instead of costing six million dollars,you can get a pair of "powerbocks"for
just a couple of hundred.
Mankind seems to have a strong desire to get off the ground.In the late 1890's stilt walking(踩高跷)
attracted Europe,with Sylvain Dornon walking from Paris to Moscow on stilts in 58 days.
The inventor of the Powerbock,German engineer Alexander Boeck,studied the movements of
kangaroos in order to develop his original design.And the Powerbock allows humans to extend their own
Achilles tendon(跟腱)to come close to the length and power of those in animals like kangaroos.As a
result,exercising using the stilts reduces wear and tear on feet and knees while still giving the body enough
exercise.
Powerbocking is considered as a form of exercise.You'll burn calories five times faster than jogging and
it employs 95% of the body's muscles.It's also an extraordinarily easy form of extreme sport to take up -it
only takes about 30 minutes to master the basics.
For a start,you'll instantly add 18 inches to your height.And then you'll be capable of the most
extraordinary skills of athleticism.Flipping(翻)backwards 20 times in 20 seconds to set a Guinness World
Record,for example,or leaping over cars.Acquiring them_is an awful lot of fun.It's not surprising that
Powerbocking has been turning up everywhere-on talent shows,commercials and even as part of the
closing ceremony at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
But,he warned-if you're interested in taking up this sport,you need to know that no one can agree what
it should be called.The equipment is sometimes referred to as power stilts,jumping stilts,kangaroo boots
and many more.But there seems to be general agreement that the sport ought to be named
"Powerbocking"in honor of its inventor,Herr Boeck.
B. It doesn't cost much money.
C. It is a kind of ordinary sport.
D. It was invented in the late 1890's
B. Power stilts and kangaroo boots are two different things.
C. Alexander Boeck is good at stilt walking
D. The invention of the Powerbock was inspired by stilt walking.
B. Talent shows and commercials.
C. Guinness World Records.
D. Extraordinary skills of athleticism.
B. they want to honor its inventor
C. the name has a long history
D. the name sounds most interesting
B. The advantages of doing exercise.
C. An introduction to Powerbocking.
D. The history of Powerbocking.
