Question

【題目】If you have a chance to visit London, one place you should not miss is Tower Bridge. London's Tower Bridge is one of the most famous bridges in the world. Its Victorian style comes from a law that forced the designers to create a building that would be in harmony(協(xié)調(diào)) with the nearby Tower of London. Plans for the Tower Bridge were made around 1876 when the east of London became crowded and a bridge across the Thames in that area of the city seemed a necessity. (A)It_took_another_eight_years_and_lots_of_discussions_about_the_design_before_the_government_started_to_build_the_bridge.

The bridge was completed in 1894 and nearly 450 workers worked for this 265meterlong bridge. It took 11，000 tons of steel to build the bridge. The bridge became one of London's most famous symbols. Tower Bridge is close to the harbor and it is in the direction of the sea, which requires the bridge to allow the passage of large ships. (B)開啟大橋的秘密隱藏在兩座塔里。 It used to open almost 50 times a day but nowadays it is only raised about 1，000 times a year.
