第 47 題至第 50 題為題組 A suspension bridge is a type of bridge that use overhead cables to support its roadway. The design of asuspension bridge is simple and straightforward, and uses several architectural techniques to distribute the weight ofthe bridge safely and evenly. The construction of a suspension bridge starts with its towers, which are usually located on dry land and anchoredto bedrock. Once the towers are built, master cables are strung across them and anchored into the bank at both ends ofthe bridge. Next, suspension cables are strung from the master cables, and then the deck used as roadway is attached tothem. Most of the weight of the bridge is transferred by the cables to the anchorage systems. These are embedded ineither solid rock or huge concrete blocks. Inside the anchorages, the cables are spread over a large area to evenlydistribute the load and to prevent the cables from breaking free. One of the oldest engineering forms, suspension bridges were constructed by primitive peoples using thick vinesfor cables. A much stronger type was introduced in India around 400 A.D. that used cables of braided bamboo. In theearly nineteenth century, suspension bridges used iron chains for cables. Today, the cables are made of thousands ofindividual steel wires bound tightly together. A single steel wire, only 0.1 inch thick, can support over half a ton ofweight without breaking. Light and strong, a suspension bridge could span distances from 2,000 to 7,000 feet, which is much longer thanany other kind of bridge could. Its simple design allows high clearance under the deck, useful when the bridge is builtover a major shipping waterway or a very deep gulf. A suspension bridge is also less subjected to collapse than someother bridge types such as those built on support pillars.

吊橋是一種使用架空電纜支撐其道路的橋樑。懸索橋的設計簡單直接，並採用多種建築技術安全均勻地分配橋樑的重量。懸索橋的建造始於其塔樓，塔樓通常位於陸地上並固定在基岩上。一旦塔架建成後，主電纜穿過它們，並錨定在橋兩端的岸上。接下來，從主電纜串起懸掛電纜，然後將用作道路的甲板連接到它們上。橋樑的大部分重量都通過電纜傳輸到錨固系統。這些嵌入固體岩石或巨大的混凝土塊。在錨地內部，電纜鋪設在大面積上以均勻分佈負載並防止電纜斷裂。最古老的工程形式之一，懸索橋是由原始民族用電纜的厚藤建造的。印度大約在400年前引入了一種更強大的類型，它使用編織竹子的電纜。在十九世紀初期，懸索橋使用鐵鍊作為電纜。今天，電纜由數千根...
