Around the world, there are hundreds of cities with brightly coloured streets and incredible graffiti that help

to bring the streets alive. Here are some of the most colourful streets in the world to add to your list of places to

visit.

El Caminito, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Within the La Boca neighbourhood of Buenos Aires lies El Caminito Street. This small but colourful street

has rows of homes and businesses painted in every colour imaginable. And the pretty turquoise (青绿色) and

yellow pavements make the street even more beautiful. Home to cafes and shops, this street is typically a hot spot

for tourists.

Rainbow Row, Charleston, America

Many people claim that if you don't visit Rainbow Row then you haven't really been to Charleston at all. The

row of 13 houses, painted in pretty pale soft colours including baby blue, soft pink, lemon yellow, and green, are

private houses that date back to the 1700s. Just around the corner in the same neighbourhood, you'll find small ice

cream shops, coffee shops, and independently owned stores to do some window shopping for a fun girl's getaway

weekend.

Old Town Colmar, France

One of the most colourful areas in France is Old Town Colmar, a little village often referred to as the Little

Venice of France with a history of over 1,100 years. The canal running through the center of the village is

surrounded by half-wood houses of different colours. The village takes special care of the flowers that line the

canal, which add to its collection of vibrant hues (鲜艳的色调).

Nyhavn, Copenhagen, Denmark

The harbour district of Copenhagen is one of the country's most popular tourist attractions, with good reason

— the colourful street is only outdone by the views of the boats on the harbour. Nyhavn is home to traditional

homes painted in bright colours; some have been changed into cafes and shops.

1. Which street has colourful ground?

A. Old Town Colmar. B. El Caminito.

C. Rainbow Row. D. Nyhavn.

2. Why is Old Town Colmar regarded as the Little Venice of France?

A. For the canal flowing through the village.

3. What fascinates tourists most in the harbour district of Copenhagen?

small but colourful street has rows of homes and businesses painted in every colour imaginable. And the pretty

内，坐落着 El Caminito 街道。这条小而色彩斑斓的街道上，一排排的房屋和企业被漆成了难以想象各种各

样的颜色。还有漂亮的绿松石和黄色人行道使街道更加美丽。 )”可知，漂亮的青绿色和黄色的路面使 El

Caminito 街道更加美丽，由此可知 El Caminito 街道有五颜六色的地面。故选 B项。

【3题详解】

细节理解题。由最后一段中的“The harbour district of Copenhagen is one of the country's most popular tourist

attractions, with good reason — the colourful street is only outdone by the views of the boats on the harbour. (哥本

哈根海港区是该国最受欢迎的旅游景点之一，这是有充分理由的——这条五彩缤纷的街道被港口上船只的

景色超越。)”可知，这条五彩缤纷的街道被海边船只的景色所超越，由此可知，哥本哈根海港区最吸引游

客的是迷人的船景。故选 D项。

Charles Brooks of Newark, New Jersey patented the street sweeper truck on March 17th, 1896. He patented a

ticket punch(剪票钳) design too that avoided ticket litter thrown away here and there. Little can be known about

him other than that he was a black man.

Horses and oxen were the main means of transportation in Brooks's time—where there are animals, there is

manure(粪肥).So there were piles of manure that needed removing regularly. The task of street sweeping was not

carried out by machines, but workers sweeping garbage with a broom into a container. This method clearly required

a lot of labor, although it did provide employment.

That changed when mechanical street sweepers were invented by Joseph Whitworth in England and C. S.

Bishop in the USA, which were still drawn by horses as Bishop's design was dragged behind horses. Later Brooks

made some changes—a truck with revolving brushes that swept the litter into a hopper(漏斗). The revolving

brushes were attached to the front part of the truck and could be replaced by scrapers for snow removal in winter.

Brooks also designed an improved container for sorting garbage as well as a wheel drive for the automatic

turning of the brushes and for powering a lifting mechanism for the scrapers. It's not known whether his design was

produced and marketed. The patent number 556711 was issued on March 17tn, 1896. The motor-driven pickup

street sweeper was later developed by John M. Murphy for the Elgin Sweeper Company, which first appeared in

1913.

4. Why was much labor involved in street sweeping in Brooks' time?

A. Because manure needed clearing at times.

B. Because workers took it to support their families.

C. Because it was done by hand.

D. Because there was much ticket litter on the streets.

5. How did the Brooks' street sweeper differ from those invented by Whitworth and Bishop?

A. It was pulled by a horse.

B. It offered more working opportunities.

C. It could do a timely cleanup of manure.

D. It was fixed to the front of a truck.

6. What can be concluded from the passage?

A. The street sweeper kept being improved.

B. Brooks invented the first street sweeper.

C. Murphy patented his street sweeper in 1913.
