2021-2022学年高一英语暑假作业（5） 第一部分 阅读理解 第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A I was taking in the breathtaking view at the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge when I sensed I was about to witness something even more dramatic right in front of me. Although we were all tied to lines running along the steel girders, a fellow climber called Mike had somehow managed to drop to one knee and turn to face his girlfriend, Wendy. I knew what was coming. "Wendy, will you marry me " he asked. There was a quick smile and an attempted kiss and then a big beam. Mike had the answer he hoped for and all of us burst into a round of applause. Apparently more than 2, 000 couples have become engaged at the summit since 1998, when it became possible to climb it in organised tour groups. The bridge, perhaps the most recognised symbol of this beautiful city, opened in 1932. It's still the world's largest steel-arch bridge.

People climb in all weathers except when there's lightning in the area. In fact, over two million people have made the three-and-a-half-hour climb to the top of the famous bridge—an adventure that cannot be done anywhere else in the world on a bridge this big. That's probably why this climb has won a lot of tourism awards.
