A
In its early history，Chicago had floods frequently，especially in the spring，
making the streets so muddy that people，horses，and carts got stuck.An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this：A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street.Asked if he needs help，he replies，“No，thanks.I've got a good horse under me.”
The city planners decided to build an underground drainage(排水)system，but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level.The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.
An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt.This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12 feet.
This of course created a new problem：dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago.Building owners were faced with a choice：either change the first floors of their buildings into basements，and the second stories into main floors，or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level.Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily.But what about large，heavy structures like the Tremont Hotel，which was a six-story brick building?
That's where George Pullman came in.He had developed some house-moving skills successfully.To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel，Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews(螺旋千斤顶)beneath the building's foundation.One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews.At Pullman's signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time，thereby raising the building slowly and evenly.Astonishingly，the Tremont Hotel stayed open during the entire operation，and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening.
Some people like to say that every problem has a solution.But in Chicago's early history，every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem.Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River，the city's next step was to clean the polluted river.
1．The author mentions the joke to show________. A．horses were fairly useful in Chicago B．Chicago's streets were extremely muddy C．Chicago was very dangerous in the spring D．the Chicago people were particularly humorous
2．The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to________.
A．get rid of the street dirt B．lower the Chicago River C．fight against heavy floods D．build the pipes above ground
3．The underlined word“hoist”in Paragraph 4 means“________”． A．change C．repair
B．lift D．decorate
4．What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel? A．It went on smoothly as intended.
B．It interrupted the business of the hotel. C．It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews. D．It separated the building from its foundation. 5．The passage is mainly about early Chicago's________. A．popular lifestyles and their influences B．environmental disasters and their causes C．engineering problems and their solutions D．successful businessmen and their achievements
B
A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children' s safety on the roads.
Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school，or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport，they will be prepared to go ahead，as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school.
The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government have said in the past that they will not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back，the plan which has the support of the school's headmaster.
Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out，but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than 20 dollars a term.
They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children，to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.
6．What is the aim of the plan?
A．To prevent the students' road accident. B．To relieve the traffic pressure.
C．To save time for the parents and students. D．To help the parents save money.
7．How can the local government arrange the new bus service at a low cost? A．By letting the bus run in the morning only. B．By limiting the number of the students. C．By obtaining the support from the headmaster. D．By linking the new bus service with the existing one. 8．The new bus service will be paid for by__________. A．the parents
B．the local government and the parents C．the bus company D．the local government
9．Which of the following is possible for the plan to be carried out? A．The bus company will make much more money.
B．The children can choose whatever school they like. C．The parents can get rid of their worries.
D．The students in Impington School can have free bus rides. 10．This passage is most probably__________. A．a personal letter C．an advertisement Ⅴ.短文改错 Hi, Janice，
It's been a month since I came to this new school and I really want share with you some of the problems I have been experiencing.
As I tell you last time, I made three new friend here. We hang out together during
B．a headmaster's report D．a newspaper article
lunch and after school. We've been spending a lot of time sing in karaoke bars. It's been three Saturdays now and it really costs me many. And I started to see this as a time－wasting activity! In fact, I don't like to go anymore, so I'm afraid I'll lost their friendship. How do you think I should do? If you are me, would you talk to him?
Please help with me and give me some advice. Grace
