Ⅰ.阅读理解

You may know the Eiffel Tower as one of the most famous man­made monuments(纪念塔) in the world, and you'd be absolutely right! Read on to learn about the history of the great Eiffel Tower.

Travelers from around the world flock (蜂拥)to Paris, France, to visit the Eiffel Tower, making it the most visited paid monument in the entire world! In fact, in 2010,  the Eiffel Tower welcomed its 250 millionth visitor!

The history of the Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower was named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the famous monument.Construction began in January of 1887 and was completed in about two years.Their plan was to finish the tower in time to be the entrance arch for the World's Fair in 1889.This fair celebrated the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, which took place from 1789 to 1799.

The height competition

Located on the Champs de Mars, the tower is the tallest structure in Paris.It was the tallest man­made structure in the world for 41 years until the Chrysler Building in New York was built.Then the spire (尖顶) on the top of the tower was added, raising its height to 17 feet taller than the Chrysler Building.It is now 1,063 feet tall! There are various copies of the Eiffel Tower in the world including a half­scale model at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas.

Three shades of the wonder

Some pictures make the Eiffel Tower look like a dark iron color.But it is, in fact, bronze.Not only that, but the tower is actually painted three different shades to make it appear even taller: darkest on the bottom and lightest on the top.
