Eventually, at the suggestion of his father, Sir Marc,
Isambard was strapped to a board, turned upside-down,
and the coin was jerked free.
Brunel suffered a stroke in 1859, just before the
Great
Eastern
made its first voyage to New York. He died ten days
later and is buried, like his father, at Kensal Green Cemetery
in London. His son, Henri Marc Brunel, also enjoyed some
success as a civil engineer.
Read the article about a British engineer. Five
sentences have been removed. Which sentence
(A–F) fits each gap (1–5)? There is one extra
sentence you do not need to use.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel
In surveys to find out who the most important Britons of all
time are, Isambard Kingdom Brunel often comes out on top.
This famous engineer was noted for the creation of the
Great Western Railway and a series of famous steamships.
The son of noted engineer Sir Marc Isambard Brunel,
Isambard K. Brunel was born in Portsmouth, England on
April 9, 1806. His father was working there on the
block-making machinery of the Portsmouth Block Mills. The
young Brunel was sent to France to be educated at the
College of Caen in Normandy and the Lycée Henri-Quatre in
Paris. He rose to prominence when, aged 20, he was
appointed as the resident engineer of the Thames Tunnel,
his father’s greatest achievement. The first of its kind ever
built, Isambard spent nearly two years trying to drive the
horizontal shaft from one end of it to the other. (–––– 1 ––––)
In the meantime, Brunel moved on. In 1833, he was
appointed engineer of the Great Western Railway, one of
the wonders of Victorian Britain. Running from London to
Bristol (and a few years later, to Exeter), the Great Western
contained a series of impressive achievements, such as
viaducts, stations, and tunnels, that ignited the
imagination of the technically-minded Britons of the age.
Brunel soon became one of the most famous men in Britain.
(–––– 2 ––––) He used his prestige to convince his railway
company employers to build the
Great Western,
at the time
by far the largest steamship in the world. It first sailed in
1837. The
Great Britain
followed in 1843, and was the first
of its kind to cross the Atlantic Ocean.
Building on these successes, Brunel turned to a third ship in
1852, even larger than both of its predecessors. The
Great
Eastern
was cutting-edge technology for its time — it was
the largest ship ever built until the
RMS Lusitania
launched
in 1906 — and it soon ran over budget and schedule in the
face of a series of difficult technical problems. The ship is
widely perceived as a waste of money. (–––– 3 ––––)
Besides the railway and steamships, he was also involved in
the construction of several lengthy bridges, including the
Royal Albert Bridge near Plymouth, and an unusual
telescopic bridge in Bridgwater. He also designed the
Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, but did not live to see it
constructed. (–––– 4 ––––) Work started in 1862, and was
complete by 1864, five years after Brunel’s death.
In 1843, while performing a conjuring trick for the
amusement of his children, he accidentally swallowed a
coin which became lodged in his throat. (–––– 5 ––––)
A His colleagues and admirers felt the bridge would be a
fitting memorial, and started to raise new funds and to
amend the design.
B Though a failure at its original purpose for passenger
travel, it eventually found a role as an engineering ship.
C The initial group of engines ordered by Brunel to his
own specifications proved unsatisfactory.
D Two severe incidents of flooding injured the younger
Brunel and ended work on the tunnel for several years,
though it was eventually completed.
E A special medical tool failed to remove it, as did a
machine to shake it loose created by Brunel himself.
F Even before the Great Western Railway was opened,
Brunel was moving on to his next project to build ships
which could sail across the Atlantic.
