AThe London Eye,which is 443 feet in height above the Thames River,is the world’s biggest spinning structure.It is one hundred feet taller than Big Ben,and weighs 1600 tons.It was built to celebrate the year 2019.Maybe building such a big spinning structure suggested that people longed for bigger and better things in the future.Why did people think of building the London Eye?In fact it was inspired by great structures of the past like the very first observation wheel built for the Chicago World Expo of 1893.It’s twice the size of the wheel,but three times lighter,and much more comfortable.The London Eye is keeping natives and visitors entertained and awed(敬畏).In the London Eye,there are 32 capsules(舱).Each of the capsules can hold up to 25 people.And they’re air conditioned in summer,heated in winter.From these capsules the visitors can see the most beautiful views of London.It was difficult to assemble(安装) and put a wheel of this size.And it required new technology and a lot of imagination.The parts of the London Eye were sent up the Thames River,and the wheel was assembled on temporary(暂时的) platforms on the river.Lifting it into an upright position was a major challenge.It took a week to winch(吊) it up to its final position.Now the London Eye is regarded as a monument to new millennium.And many visitors from all over the world come to visit it.21How tall is Big Ben?A.443 feet.B.340-350 feet.C.550 feet.D.250-260 feet.443英尺,它比大本钟高了100英尺,由此可计算出大本钟高在340~350英尺之间。

22Why did London build the London Eye?A.To set a new record.B.To celebrate the Queen’s birthday.C.To celebrate the coming of 2019.D.To beat the first observation wheel in Chicago.2019年的到来。

23The underlined word “sent” in Paragraph 4 probably means .unchedB.setC.madeD.lifted,由此可知伦敦眼是在泰晤士河上被吊起的,故在这里sendup的意思同liftup。

24From the text,we can learn that .A.it took great trouble for people to build the London EyeB.the London Eye has been changed into a monumentC.the latest technology was used to assemble the London EyeD.imagination is not very important to build the London Eye难。
