Few people are aware that Waterloo Bridge, crossed by thousands of daily commuters (每天长途上下班的
人) and celebrated as a London landmark, was mainly built by a female workforce.
There are no written or photographic records ofthe women who built the bridge since the construction company that built it closed in the 1980s and with it went all the records. What’s left is anecdotal evidence, kept alive by the tourist boat skippers who have called it theLadiesBridge.
During the Second World War, with the majority of the active male labor-force away at the front, women increasingly took on traditionally male roles. By 1944, 25,000 women were working in the construction industry, carrying out back-breaking tasks. These women were permitted to carry out this exhausting and dangerous work on the basis that it would only be temporary and that their pay would be lower than that of men. So the surge (激增) in women working in construction and engineering did not continue after the war.
September sees a series of events celebrating the unknown work of the large female workforce. Musician Claudia Molitor has created a 45-minute musical entitled “theSingingBridge”, which runs at Somerset House from Sept9th. to Sept25th. In late September, the “Light up the Ladies Bridge” event saw the National Theatre’s fly tower lit up by large scale photographic projections (投影片) of female construction workers working in construction during World War II.
Let’s all celebrate the women who have helped to build the cities in which we live.
4. Why do few people know about the builders ofWaterlooBridge?
A. The records of their work have been lost.
B. Female workers received little attention.
C. The construction took place long ago.
D. Few people know about the bridge.
5. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?
A. There are less female workers inLondon.
B.WaterlooBridgeis popular among artists.
C. The story ofWaterlooBridgeis better known.
D. Many works of art were created during World War II.
6. Why didLondonwomen do the construction work?
A. It was a tradition inLondon.
B. They wanted to get a steady job.
C. Mostmen had gone to the battlefield.
D. The company offered them better pay.
7. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Female Workers on the Rise
B. A Hidden Treasure inLondon
C. ANew LondonLandmark
D. The Story behind theLadiesBridge
C
Preventing heart disease is a topic I think about all the time, given my family history of heart disease. So last summer, I travelled toBolivia.The natives, called the Tsimane, were reported to have the healthiest hearts in the world. I wanted to learn what they could teach me about preventing heart disease.
Getting to the Tsimane wasn't easy. They lived in small family groups of about 60 people along river banks. We finally found one of the villages at sunset. That night, we set up our tents in the middle of the village. Thatched huts surrounded us, with no electricity or modem conveniences.
At first, I thought they mainly got their calorics from meat. However, I found food such as rice and com made up nearly 70% of their diet. The food was not processed, lacking added sugars or salts.
During my stay there, I went hunting and fishing with the men and played soccer with the kids. I found the Tsimane were standing or walking nearly all of their waking hours. Men spent lots of time tracking animals. Fanning and gathering, mostly done by children and women, were all-day affairs.
I also got a clear idea of how they rested. As soon as the sun went down, people returned to their huts and went to sleep. And with the call of the cock in the morning, another day began.
The lifespan of the Tsimane is actually much shorter than those living in theUS. Various factors, like animal attacks and infections, bring down the lifespan. But up until the day they die, they are often very healthy. While heart disease kills thousands of Americans every year and costs nearly a billion dollars a day, the Tsimane remind us that wealth doesn't necessarily buy health.
8. Why does the author pay so much attention to preventing heart disease?
A. He dreams of becoming a doctor.
B. He wants to teach others about the topic.
C. His family members encourage him to do so.
D. He was born with a high risk of heart disease.
9. Which factors did the author mainly focus on in his research?
A. Housing, food and cooperation.
B. Diet, activity and rest.
C. Physical work, social life and lifespan.
D. Group size, family history and consumption
10. What was the Tsimane 's sleep-wake cycle mainly based on?
A. Natural sound.
B. Routine activity.
C. Animal behaviour.
D. Natural light.
11. What might the author advise us to do after his travels inBolivia?
A. Take in less sugar and salt.
B. Stand less and walk more.
C. Eat white meat instead of red meat.
D. Live in the middle of the community.
D
The China International Search and Rescue Team(CISAR) was formed in 2001 and is now made up of several hundred rescue workers and about 20 police dogs. The team brings help and hope to those whose lives are changed by astorm, flood, earthquake, or any other natural disasters.
After long and careful training, the team went on its first international rescue tasks in 2003. That year, the Chinese team helped save lives after earthquakes inAlgeriaandIran. It was the first time that a Chinese team had worked outsideChinawhose members won high praise for bravery and skill.
Since then, the CISAR has completed many tasks. The list of people to whom help has been given is long. The team treated more than 3,000 people who were wounded in the 2006 earthquake inIndonesia, helped 2,500 wounded people after the earthquake that hitHaitiin 2010, and spent several months giving aid to over 25,000 people suffering from the 2010 floods inPakistan. On April 26, 2015, a group of 62 people from CISAR went toNepalafter the 8.1 magnitude earthquake that happened there.
Rescue workers are trained to find people, treat wounds, and hand out food, water, and other supplies. They have to be able to do work that is difficult under conditions which can be very dangerous. After a disaster, there is usually no electricity or water, and there may be diseases and other dangers. Rescue workers get to save lives, but they must also bury the dead. That means they have to be strong in both body and mind.
Rescue workers must have big hearts, too. It takes a lot of love and courage to risk one’s own life to save someone else’s. The members of the CISAR have plenty of both and are always ready to go wherever help is needed.
12. What is the function of the numbers in Paragraph 3?
A. To advertise for the CISAR.
B. To add some basic information.
C. To praise Recue Workers’ contributions.
D. To stress the dangers Rescue Workers face.
13. What is the author’s attitude towards Rescue Workers?
A. Hopeful.
B. Respectful.
C. Curious.
D. Supportive.
14. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A. The duty rescue workers must perform.
B. The qualities rescue workers must own.
C. The difficulties rescue workers must go through.
D. The willingness rescue workers should require.
15. What may be the best title of the passage?
A. China to the Rescue
B. How to train CISAR
C. Welcome to CISAR
D. Rescue on request
