语篇模拟测试七 一、完形填空(25分)[来源:学科网]London’s River Thames has twenty-seven bridges. Tower Bridge, the first bridge over the Thames as your travel towards London form the sea, is the 1 of them all.

By 1850, everyone agreed that a bridge across the Thames near the Tower of London. But the designers argued about the new bridge for about 5 thirsty years.

It was a wonderful success. There was so much traffic on the river 10 the bridge opened at least twelve times a day. Today big ships don’t come so far up the Thames. Tower Bridge opens perhaps only twice a week, 11 the same wonderful machinery is still working. It can still life the two 12 opening arms-each 1,000 tons－leaving seventy meters for the ships to go 13 , and they can still open and close the 14 in one-and-a -half minutes.
