It is also perhaps the most beautiful expression of love in the world. The emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. They lived happily together for 18 years. Then, in 1631, Mumtaz died during the birth of their fourteenth child. Before she died, the emperor made her a promise. To remember her, he would build the most beautiful monument (纪念碑) in the world. Building the Taj Mahal was a huge task. It is said that it took more than 20, 000 people and 1,000 elephants. They worked for over 20 years to build the monument and its central dome (穹顶) with the white marble (大理石). In 1658, five years after the building was finished, Shah Jahan’s son became emperor. He put Shah Jahan in prison. Shah Jahan stayed there until his death in 1666. His body was then put in the Taj Mahal with the woman he loved. There are many legends (传说) about the Taj Mahal. In one story, Shah Jahan had the builders’ hands cut off after the building was completed, so they could never build anything as beautiful as the Taj Mahal. Another says he also wanted to build a black Taj Mahal. These are interesting stories, but they are probably not true. The love story between Shah Jahan and his wife ended sadly.

The inventors started researching and developing the helmet a few years ago. They studied thousands of accidents. They wanted to find out how to make the safest helmet. They worked with a Swedish airbag company called Alva. And then the invisible helmet came out. Today, the two inventors have their own company that sells the new helmets. There are 17 workers in their company. They hope their helmets will change how people all over the world ride bikes. In their video, Haupt and Alstinat said, “Cars are so yesterday. Bikes are the future.” People can not only take exercise but also experience the beauty of nature when they ride bikes. Now people can only buy the helmet online in Europe. It sells for around $530.

B Often called “a love poem in stone”, the Taj Mahal is one of the most beautiful buildings ever made. It is also perhaps the most beautiful expression of love in the world. The emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. They lived happily together for 18 years. Then, in 1631, Mumtaz died during the birth of their fourteenth child. Before she died, the emperor made her a promise. To remember her, he would build the most beautiful monument (纪念碑) in the world. Building the Taj Mahal was a huge task. It is said that it took more than 20, 000 people and 1,000 elephants. They worked for over 20 years to build the monument and its central dome (穹顶) with the white marble (大理石). In 1658, five years after the building was finished, Shah Jahan’s son became emperor. He put Shah Jahan in prison. Shah Jahan stayed there until his death in 1666. His body was then put in the Taj Mahal with the woman he loved. There are many legends (传说) about the Taj Mahal. In one story, Shah Jahan had the builders’ hands cut off after the building was completed, so they could never build anything as beautiful as the Taj Mahal. Another says he also wanted to build a black Taj Mahal. These are interesting stories, but they are probably not true. The love story between Shah Jahan and his wife ended sadly. But the monument to their love still stands today. Millions of tourists visit every year. They come to see the marble change color in the light of the rising sun or a full moon. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 26.

When the rider falls off his or her bike, the collar quickly fills with air and an airbag appears around the head. The two students, Anna Haupt and Terese Alstinat, wanted to change the way people ride bikes. They said, “Bicycle helmets have always been the same. They’re so bulky (笨重的), like a hard mushroom (蘑菇) on the head.” They called their new invention the Hovding. The pair said it looked so cool that people would be happy to wear it. The inventors started researching and developing the helmet a few years ago. They studied thousands of accidents. They wanted to find out how to make the safest helmet. They worked with a Swedish airbag company called Alva. And then the invisible helmet came out. Today, the two inventors have their own company that sells the new helmets. There are 17 workers in their company. They hope their helmets will change how people all over the world ride bikes. In their video, Haupt and Alstinat said, “Cars are so yesterday. Bikes are the future.” People can not only take exercise but also experience the beauty of nature when they ride bikes. Now people can only buy the helmet online in Europe. It sells for around $530. The company did not say when people in the rest of the world could buy it. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 31. What is special about the new helmet? A. It is an airbag that looks like a mushroom. B.
