一、阅读理解。
(2018·河北石家庄高中毕业班一模)
Few people are aware that Waterloo Bridge, crossed by thousands of
daily commuters(通勤者) and celebrated as a London landmark, was mainly
built by a female workforce.
There are no written or photographic records of the women who built the
bridge since the construction company that built it closed in the 1980s and with
it went all the records. What’s left is anecdotal evidence, kept alive by the
tourist boat captains who have called it the Ladies’ Bridge.
During the Second World War, with the majority of the active male labor
force away at the front, women increasingly took on traditionally male roles. By
1944, 25，000 women were working in the construction industry, carrying out
backbreaking tasks. These women were permitted to carry out this exhausting
and dangerous work on the basis that it would only be temporary and that their
pay would be lower than that of men. So the trend in women working in
construction and engineering did not continue after the war.
September sees a series of events celebrating the unknown work of the
large female workforce. Musician Claudia Molitor has created a 45minute musical entitled “the Singing Bridge”， which runs at Somerset House from 9
to 25 September. In late September, the “Light up the Ladies’ Bridge” event
sees the National Theatre’s fly tower lit up by large scale photographic
projections(投影) of female construction workers working in construction during
World War Ⅱ.
Let’s all celebrate the women who have helped to build the cities in
which we live.
