Opened in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge was the first long-span bridge to carry motor traffic, and it quickly became the model for the great suspension bridges of the following century. Spanning New York’s East River, it provided the first traffic artery between Manhattan Island and Brooklyn. Before that, the only transportation was by ferries, which were slow and could be dangerous in winter.
The construction of a bridge over the East River had been discussed since the early 19th century, but the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861 deflected all consideration of the project. When the war ended in 1865, the bridge became an important issue once more. In 1867, the New York State passed an act setting up the New York Bridge Company for the purpose of constructing a bridge between Manhattan Island and Brooklyn.
John Augustus Roebling was chosen to design the bridge. Born in Germany in 1806, he held aggressive views as a student and was listed by the German police as a dangerous figure. He emigrated to America in 1830 to escape political discrimination.
Roebling proposed a bridge with a span of 1,500 feet (465 m), with two towers in the East River serving as the main piers. The bridge that was actually built is longer—1,597 feet (486 m), the longest suspension bridge at that time.
4. What was the purpose of building the Brooklyn Bridge?
A. To replace an old bridge.
B. To set up a model for bridge construction.

7. According to the passage, which of the following correctly describes John Augustus Roebling?

C. He was chosen to design the bridge because of his aggressive views.
D. He moved to America because he was discriminated against in his home country.

When it comes to medical care, many patients and doctors believe “more is better.” But what they do not realize is that overtreatment—too many scans, too many blood tests, too many procedures—may bring harm. Sometimes a test leads you down a path to more and more testing, some of which may be invasive, or to treatment for things that should be left alone.
Terrence Power, for example, complained that after his wife learned she had Wegener’s disease, an uncommon disorder of the immune system, they found it difficult to refuse testing recommended by her doctor. The doctor insisted on office visits every three weeks, even when she was feeling well. He frequently ordered blood tests and X-rays, and repeatedly referred her to specialists for even minor complaints. Even when tests came back negative, more were ordered, and she was hospitalized as prevention when she developed a cold. She had as many as 25 doctor visits during one six-month period. The couple was spending about $30,000 a year for her care.
After several years of physical suffering and near financial ruin from the medical costs, the couple began questioning the treatment after discussing with other patients in online support groups. “It’s a really hard thing to determine when they’ve crossed the line,” Mr. Power said. “You think she’s getting the best care in the world, but after a while you start to wonder: What is the purpose?” Mr. Power then spoke with his own primary care doctor, who advised him to find a new specialist to oversee Mrs. Power’s care. Under the new doctor’s care, the regular testing stopped and Mrs. Power’s condition stabilized. Now she sees the doctor only four or five times a year.8. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Treatments do not always cause harmful side effects.
B. Patients tend to believe more testing is better treatment.
C. Too much medical care may not be beneficial to patients.
D. Doctors generally recommend office visits that are necessary.
9. Which of the following was a problem for Mrs. Power during her medical treatment?
A. She had to be hospitalized for three weeks whenever she had a cold.
B. When test results showed she was fine, her doctor still ordered more tests.
C. She did not have any insurance, so she became penniless because of her illness.
D. Her doctor asked her to consult other specialists due to her constant complaints.
10. Who does “they” in the third paragraph most likely refer to?
A. Doctors. B. Other patients.
C. Mr. and Mrs. Power. D. The online support groups.
11. What led to the Powers’ doubt about Mrs. Power’s treatment?
A. Mrs. Power’s condition getting worse. B. The results of her blood tests.
C. Knowing about other patients’ treatment. D. The advice from Mr. Power’s doctor.
D
What transportation do you use get around town? Perhaps you should try a Segway!
The Segway is perfect for short journey. It is an electric vehicle that consists of a platform between two wheels, with a pole that connects the platform to the handlebars. To ride it, you step up onto the platform, and control the Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster, and backwards to slow down.
On older models, direction is controlled by a twist grip on the left handlebar. This varies the speeds between the two motors; a decrease in the speed of the left wheel would turn the Segway to the left. With newer models you simply lean to the left or right. Meanwhile, a gyroscope detects your movements and prevents the machine from falling over. The Segway has a maximum speed of 19 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. After that, you need to plug it in and recharge the battery.
Segways are helpful in various situations. People with mobility problems can now enjoy walks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers use them as an alternative to the golf cart. And dog owners now have an easier way to take the dog to the park. A few police forces use Segways, too. They allow officers to move quickly while maintaining contact with the public. They are also becoming a common sight on airport. However, the most popular use is in tourism, particularly for city tours. Visit any major tourist city in summer, sit outside a cafe for a while and there is a good chance you will see a group of tourists passing on Segways.
12.What is the Segway according to this passage?
A. A pole that connects two handlebars.
B.A newly appeared public traffic vehicle.
C. A bicycle with a platform between two wheels.
D. An electric two-wheeled vehicle for short trips.
13. What controls the speed of a Segway?
A. The two handlebars. B. The twist grip on the left.
C. The driver’s body movement. D. A gyroscope on the vehicle.
14.How far can you travel on a Segway at most?
A. Less than 19 km. B. About 19 km. C. About 38 km. D. More than 38 km.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?
A. What a Segway is like. B. Where to find a Segway.
C. How to control a Segway. D. When a Segway is useful.
