You may know the Eiffel Tower as one of the most famous man-made monuments in the world, and you’d be absolutely right! Read on to learn about the history of the great Eiffel Tower.

Travelers from around the world flock(蜂拥)to Paris, France, to visit the Eiffel Tower, making it the most visited paid monument in the entire world! In fact, in 2010, the Eiffel Tower welcomed its 250 millionth visitor!

The history of the Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower was named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the famous monument. Construction began in January of 1887 and was completed in only two years. Their plan was to finish the tower in time to be the entrance arch for the World’s Fair in 1889. This fair celebrated the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, which took place from 1789 to 1799.

The height competition

Located on the Champs de Mars, the tower is the tallest structure in Paris. It was the tallest man-made structure in the world for 41 years until the Chrysler Building in New York surpassed(超过) it. Then the spire(塔尖) on the top of the tower was added, raising its height to 17 feet taller than the Chrysler Building. It is now 1,063 feet tall! There are two replicas(复制品) of the Eiffel Tower in the world: a half scale model at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas and a full-sized monument of a similar (but not exact) design in Tokyo, Japan.

Three shades of wonder

Some pictures make the Eiffel Tower look like a dark iron color. But it is, in fact, bronze. Not only that, but the tower is actually painted three different shades to make it appear even taller: darkest on the bottom and lightest on the top.

1.The Eiffel Tower was constructed to ________.

A. show great respect for Gustave Eiffel

B. make Paris the most visited city in the world

C. show the French people’s construction skill

D. celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution

2.Which of the following does the author mention in the passage?

A. The political meaning of the Eiffel Tower.

B. The disadvantages of the Eiffel Tower.

C. The location of the Eiffel Tower.　

D. The cost of the Eiffel Tower.

3.Where can you find a structure similar to the Eiffel Tower according to the passage?

A. In New York.

B. In Las Vegas.

C. In Los Angeles.

D. In Florida.

4.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

A. tell visitors where to find the replicas of the Eiffel Tower

B. raise people’s awareness of protecting the Eiffel Tower

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Many of you may know that Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia. 1. In September, Indonesia announced that the country will move its capital from Jakarta, on the island of Java, to Kalimantan, on the island of Borneo. This is big news for Indonesia. Indeed, it would be for any country.

The word ''capital'' comes from the Latin word ''caput'', meaning ''head''. Government institutions (机构), such as legislative (立法) and judicial (司法) bodies, are located in capital cities. 2.

In English-language news reports, when you read ''relations between Beijing and Moscow'', it actually means ''relations between the Chinese and Russian governments''. 3. In many countries, the capital is the richest city. This is because when a city becomes a major business center, it takes a more important place on the world stage. London, for example, has been the economic center of Britain for nearly 2,000 years, so it's naturally been the capital for much of that time.

4. Brazil's capital used to be Rio de Janeiro, a coastal city. Later the capital moved to the inland city of Brasilia. Part of the reason is that coastal cities can be attacked (攻击) more easily. In the case of Indonesia, the new capital was chosen in order to achieve balanced development in different areas. Kalimantan is an underdeveloped area. 5.

A.This will soon change.

B.Sometimes, capitals are chosen for safety reasons.

C.Some new capitals are planned and built in undeveloped areas.

D.Countries sometimes move their capitals from one city to another.

E.Therefore, it is important to choose a good spot for one's capital.

F.By becoming the new capital, it can expect faster economic growth.

G.The leaders of a country usually work and live in the capital as well.
