THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the symbols of the United States of America. It is located in San Francisco, California,
and spans the Golden Gate strait - a mile wide strait that connects the Pacific Ocean to the San Francisco Bay. It is sure one of
the most beautiful bridges in the world, and also one of the tallest (the height of a bridge is the height of the towers). The
bridge as it is today was designed by architects Irving and Gertrude Morrow. However their art deco project was not the first
Golden Gate Bridge. The original plans for the bridge were drawn in 1961, but they were of a very complicated and ugly
structure, certainly not something could be ever proud of.
The bridge was a true experiment in its time, such a long suspension bridge had never been tried before. It had the hightest

towers, the thickest cables and the largest underwater foundations ever built. The foundations were a real problem, because
they had to be cast in a depth of more than 100 feet. Extreme depth wasn't the sole problem. The real challenge lay in the
sinking of the piers in the violent waves of the open sea, which was thought to be almost impossible the construction began in
1933 and was finished in 1937,when the bridge opened to pedestrians. (It was opened to cars one year later). The bridge was
finished ahead of schedule and cost much less than was estimated. Today the Golden Gate Bridge has a main span of 4,200
feet (almost a mile) and a total length of 8,981 feet. The towers supporting the huge cables rise 746 feet above the water. Each
steel cable is 7,650 long and has a diametre of 36 inches.
"International orange " is the colour the bridge has always been painted. The architects chose it because it blends well with
the span's natural setting. However, if the Navy had had its way, the bridge would have been painted black with yellow stripes
- in favour of greater visibility for passing ships. There are fog horns to let passing ships know where the bridge is, and
aircraft beacon on the tops of the towers to prevent planes from crashing into them.
The Golden Gate Bridge is the first sight for many people approaching the United States by boat. It is almost the West

Read the passage and then choose the best answer.
Ever since humans inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression
of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is
accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute

have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can
be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of
fluting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative
reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags,
Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While verbalization is the

The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the symbols of the United States of America. It is located in San Francisco, California,

they had to be cast in a depth of more than 100 feet. Extreme depth wasn't the sole problem. The real challenge lay in the

Ever since humans inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression
of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is
accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute
have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can
be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of
fluting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative
reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags,
Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While verbalization is the
most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.

A. to do something reluctantly
B. to do it unawares

THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the symbols of the United States of America. It is located in San Francisco, California,
and spans the Golden Gate strait - a mile wide strait that connects the Pacific Ocean to the San Francisco Bay. It is sure one of
the most beautiful bridges in the world, and also one of the tallest (the height of a bridge is the height of the towers). The
bridge as it is today was designed by architects Irving and Gertrude Morrow. However their art deco project was not the first
Golden Gate Bridge. The original plans for the bridge were drawn in 1961, but they were of a very complicated and ugly
structure, certainly not something could be ever proud of.
The bridge was a true experiment in its time, such a long suspension bridge had never been tried before. It had the hightest

towers, the thickest cables and the largest underwater foundations ever built. The foundations were a real problem, because
they had to be cast in a depth of more than 100 feet. Extreme depth wasn't the sole problem. The real challenge lay in the
sinking of the piers in the violent waves of the open sea, which was thought to be almost impossible the construction began in
1933 and was finished in 1937,when the bridge opened to pedestrians. (It was opened to cars one year later). The bridge was
finished ahead of schedule and cost much less than was estimated. Today the Golden Gate Bridge has a main span of 4,200
feet (almost a mile) and a total length of 8,981 feet. The towers supporting the huge cables rise 746 feet above the water. Each
steel cable is 7,650 long and has a diametre of 36 inches.
"International orange " is the colour the bridge has always been painted. The architects chose it because it blends well with
the span's natural setting. However, if the Navy had had its way, the bridge would have been painted black with yellow stripes
- in favour of greater visibility for passing ships. There are fog horns to let passing ships know where the bridge is, and
aircraft beacon on the tops of the towers to prevent planes from crashing into them.
The Golden Gate Bridge is the first sight for many people approaching the United States by boat. It is almost the West
Coast's "Statue of Liberty" and is something everyone should at least once.
Question 43: Which one is true?
A. The construction of the Golden Gate Bridge took four years.
B. People were allowed to cross the bridge in 1939.
C. The construction of the bridge began exactly seventeen years after the first plans were made.
D. The bridge was opened to car traffic in 1939.
Question 44: The first plans of the bridge.....
A. were something America could be proud of
B. were not designed in art deco style.
C. were designed by Irving Morrow but were too complicated
D. were designed by Irving and Gertrude Morrow in 1916
Question 45: Which one is not true about the position of the Golden Gate Bridge?
A. It is quite near the "Statue of Liberty".
B. It is off the Pacific Ocean.
C. It connects the San Francisco Bay to The Golden Gate Bridge
D. It is located on the West Coast.
Question 46: The Golden Gate Bridge......
A. is painted gold and has a gold plate at each end.

B. is the best-known symbol of the United States
C. spans the Golden Gate Strait
D. spans the San Francisco
Question 47: The construction of the foundations was very complicated because......
A. the piers had to be sunk in the open sea through of violent waves.
B. They had to be the largest ones ever built.
11


C. it was thought to be almost impossible.
D. They had to be cast by teams of divers, which was very expensive.
Question 48: How can passing ships know where the bridge is?
A. due to the colour decided by the Navy
B. because there are beacons on the top of the tower
C. because the bridge is international orange
D. thanks to the fog horns.
Question 49: The word"cast" is closest in meaning to......
A. expanded
B. exposed
C. thrown
D. measured
Question 50: What is not true about the Golden Gate Bridge?
A. The first was first painted black with yellow stripes.
B. The towers supporting the huge cables rise 746 feet.

Read the passage and then choose the best answer.
Ever since humans inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression
of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is
accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute
have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can
be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of
fluting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative
reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags,
Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While verbalization is the
most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.

THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the symbols of the United States of America. It is located in San Francisco, California,
and spans the Golden Gate strait - a mile wide strait that connects the Pacific Ocean to the San Francisco Bay. It is sure one of
the most beautiful bridges in the world, and also one of the tallest (the height of a bridge is the height of the towers). The
bridge as it is today was designed by architects Irving and Gertrude Morrow. However their art deco project was not the first
Golden Gate Bridge. The original plans for the bridge were drawn in 1961, but they were of a very complicated and ugly
structure, certainly not something could be ever proud of.
The bridge was a true experiment in its time, such a long suspension bridge had never been tried before. It had the hightest
towers, the thickest cables and the largest underwater foundations ever built. The foundations were a real problem, because
they had to be cast in a depth of more than 100 feet. Extreme depth wasn't the sole problem. The real challenge lay in the
sinking of the piers in the violent waves of the open sea, which was thought to be almost impossible the construction began in
1933 and was finished in 1937,when the bridge opened to pedestrians. (It was opened to cars one year later). The bridge was
finished ahead of schedule and cost much less than was estimated. Today the Golden Gate Bridge has a main span of 4,200
feet (almost a mile) and a total length of 8,981 feet. The towers supporting the huge cables rise 746 feet above the water. Each
steel cable is 7,650 long and has a diametre of 36 inches.
"International orange " is the colour the bridge has always been painted. The architects chose it because it blends well with
the span's natural setting. However, if the Navy had had its way, the bridge would have been painted black with yellow stripes
- in favour of greater visibility for passing ships. There are fog horns to let passing ships know where the bridge is, and
aircraft beacon on the tops of the towers to prevent planes from crashing into them.
The Golden Gate Bridge is the first sight for many people approaching the United States by boat. It is almost the West
Coast's "Statue of Liberty" and is something everyone should at least once.

THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the symbols of the United States of America. It is located in San Francisco, California,
and spans the Golden Gate strait - a mile wide strait that connects the Pacific Ocean to the San Francisco Bay. It is sure one of
the most beautiful bridges in the world, and also one of the tallest (the height of a bridge is the height of the towers). The
bridge as it is today was designed by architects Irving and Gertrude Morrow. However their art deco project was not the first
Golden Gate Bridge. The original plans for the bridge were drawn in 1961, but they were of a very complicated and ugly
structure, certainly not something could be ever proud of.
The bridge was a true experiment in its time, such a long suspension bridge had never been tried before. It had the hightest
towers, the thickest cables and the largest underwater foundations ever built. The foundations were a real problem, because
they had to be cast in a depth of more than 100 feet. Extreme depth wasn't the sole problem. The real challenge lay in the
sinking of the piers in the violent waves of the open sea, which was thought to be almost impossible the construction began in
1933 and was finished in 1937,when the bridge opened to pedestrians. (It was opened to cars one year later). The bridge was
finished ahead of schedule and cost much less than was estimated. Today the Golden Gate Bridge has a main span of 4,200
feet (almost a mile) and a total length of 8,981 feet. The towers supporting the huge cables rise 746 feet above the water. Each
steel cable is 7,650 long and has a diametre of 36 inches.
"International orange " is the colour the bridge has always been painted. The architects chose it because it blends well with
the span's natural setting. However, if the Navy had had its way, the bridge would have been painted black with yellow stripes
- in favour of greater visibility for passing ships. There are fog horns to let passing ships know where the bridge is, and
aircraft beacon on the tops of the towers to prevent planes from crashing into them.
The Golden Gate Bridge is the first sight for many people approaching the United States by boat. It is almost the West
Coast's "Statue of Liberty" and is something everyone should at least once.
