Passage 1 [2019·上海长宁二模改编]
There are some very good inventions which deserve to be better known, even though I admit that
some of them are crazy. Let's have a look at some of them and see if you agree that they deserve
to be more successful.
The Australians had a great idea to stop people from drinking and driving. The idea was that
if a driver wanted to start the car, she or he would have to blow into a bag first. If there was
too much alcohol in their breath, the car wouldn't start. It sounds like a great idea to me, but
people said that they might need to drive the car in an emergency even if they had drunk too much
alcohol. Another idea I liked was an invention by a scientist who thought his children watched too
much TV. He linked the TV to an exercise bike so that the electricity to power the TV was generated
by the bike. If the children wanted to watch a lot of TV, they had to ride very hard. I found another
invention on the Internet was designed to encourage good habits. Believe it or not, this invention
was an ashtray which spoke to you when you lit a cigarette! The ‘voice’ of the ashtray was activated
by the heat from the cigarette and reminded you how dangerous it is to smoke.
One of the strangest inventions I have come across is a bicycle which can cross rivers! The
idea was that when you came to a river, you could inflate(使充气) a huge plastic ball all around
the bike. You would then get into the ball which would float on the river while you rode the bike
inside the ball! One thing I would like is a baseball cap with a built-in radio so you can listen
to sports programs all day with your hands free. While we are on the subject of sport, the Americans
invented a kind of robot for sports fans. If you were watching your team on TV on your own, you
could press a button and the robot would do ‘high fives’ with you! Fantastic! I wonder if you
have any brilliant ideas for inventions like these.

Purpose: Roadway
Materials: Steel, masonry

Barry
By the end of the 19th century, the city of London had outgrown itself. Thousands of cars and
people depended on a single bridge—the London Bridge—to travel in and out of the capital city
each day. The traffic was heavy. So Londoners expected the completion of a new bridge across the
Thames, the Tower Bridge, designed by Sir Horace Jones and engineered by Sir John Wolfe-Barry.
The new bridge would have two towers that would rise 200 feet above the Thames. A pair of
glass-covered walkways would stretch between the two towers for walkers. Steam engines(蒸汽机) would
raise and lower the bascules, or movable roadways, in less than two minutes to allow boats to pass.
Londoners were excited.
Once the bridge was completed in 1894, however, the public was shocked with the results. Jones'
original design was simple and had a medieval(中世纪的) style. But Jones died in 1887, and Barry
added his own artistic touch. When the Tower Bridge opened to traffic in 1894, the magazine The
Builder called it “the most monstrous and preposterous(荒谬的) architectural sham(建筑骗局)that
we have ever known”. But public opinion changed over time, and today, the Tower Bridge is one of
London's best loved landmarks.
5.The bridge is made of . ( )
A.steel and masonry B.stone
C.wood D.plastic
6.Why did Londoners build the Tower Bridge? ( )
A.Because the London Bridge was too old.
B.Because the city was too big.
C.Because the traffic was heavy.
D.Because people wanted a new landmark.
7.How does boats pass the bridge? ( )
A.The movable roadways can be raised and lowered.
B.Steam engines would raise the boats.
C.The bridge is high enough for boats to pass.
D.Only lower boats can pass the bridge.
8.The passage is mainly to . ( )
A.introduce the Tower Bridge
B.tell us the design of the Tower Bridge
5
C.show Londoners' feelings
D.explain the reason why the Tower Bridge is built
