22、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 planner 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 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 sign each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stay 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】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.
【4】The passage is mainly about the early Chicago's ________.
A.popular life styles and their influences
B.environmental disasters and their causes
C.engineering problems and their solutions
D.successful businessmen and their achievements
23、Sean McCarthy didn’t expect to be fighting tears his very first day as a volunteer for OHM (Open Heart Magic). As one of more than 60 volunteer “Hospital Magicians,” he’s learned since then anything happens when you devote your time and heart to helping others - and passes this sense of hope and wonder on to each sick child he visits.
OHM uses the therapeutic (治疗的) power of magic and laughter to help energize and strengthen seriously ill children in Chicago area hospitals.
Why magic? According to OHM, scientific studies suggest the benefits of magic as a tool to gain trust, relieve tension, enhance cognitive (认知) function and more.
For Sean, making the commitment to become a Hospital Magician was simple. “I trust the mission of the organization, interviewed, and went through 13 weeks of training to become a Hospital Magician,” he says.
“An unbelievable thing happened to me on my first day by myself at the hospital,” he relates. The first patient was a 10-year-old boy. Sean walked into the boy’s room and his parents were standing by his bed. As taught, Sean introduced himself and said he was with OHM. He asked if the boy wanted to see some magic.
Sean performed 3-4 tricks. When finished, he thanked them and noticed all of them smiling. They all thanked Sean for stopping by as he walked out of the room. Walking down the hall, Sean thought, “Wow, that was a really great experience for my first room on my first day!”
Sean was absolutely floored. “I think I managed to say, ‘Thank you’, but that’s about all I could get out as I felt myself starting to well up,” he remembers. “I knew we would impact the kids and their families during difficult times, but I never expected to see it so soon.”
Sean was addicted to it. He talks about how that first night was not the exception, but the norm. He’s had similar inspiring, incredible experiences throughout the last six months as a Hospital Magician.
【1】What can we learn about Sean’s volunteer service?
A.It has a positive impact on ill kids and their families.
B.It uses magic to cure the disease of seriously ill kids.
C.It is organized by children’s hospitals in the local area.
D.It’s contemporary before Sean moves on to another program.
【2】What does the underlined word “floored” probably mean?
A.Relaxed.
B.Frustrated.
C.Surprised.
D.Delighted.
【3】Why did Sean think it simple to become a Hospital Magician?
A.Because he had similar experiences in the past.
B.Because he had the knowledge and skills required for it.
C.Because there were many people providing the same service.
D.Because he had a lot of sympathy for the seriously ill children.
【4】What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A.People should learn magic to volunteer at children’s hospitals.
B.Volunteering in hospitals can be greatly beneficial on both sides.
C.Volunteering in hospitals help people to become better magicians.
D.People should take part in volunteer programs to help kids in need.
24、Fitness tracking devices often recommend we take 10,000 steps a day. But the goal of taking 10,000 steps is not, as many of us believe, rooted in science. 【1】
The 10,000-steps target became popular in Japan in the 1960s. A clock maker, hoping to benefit from interest in fitness after the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games, mass-produced a pedometer (计步器) with a name that, when written in Japanese characters, resembled a walking man. 【2】 Therefore, it created a walking aim that, through the decades, somehow got planted in our global consciousness — and fitness trackers.
But today’s best science suggests we do not need to take 10,000steps a day. 【3】 In that study, people who walked for about 8,000 steps a day were half as likely to die prematurely (过早地) from heart disease or any other cause as those who had 4,000 steps a day. 【4】 The extra steps did not provide much additional protection against dying young, either.
【5】 If, like many people, we currently take about 5,000 steps a day during the course of everyday activities like shopping and housework, adding the extra 2,000 to3,000 steps would take us to a total of between 7,000 and 8,000 steps most days, which seems to be the step-count sweet spot.
A.It also translated as “10,000-steps meter”.
B.Really, many of us reach that 10,000-step goal.
C.In fact it is based on history rather than research.
D.But the statistical benefits of additional steps were slight.
E.The 8,000-steps a day could be a reasonable and achievable goal.
F.A study found that 10,000 steps a day are not a must for a long life.
G.The risks for early death continued to drop among those taking more steps.
25、A Special Christmas Gift
Even though it was only October, my students were already talking about Christmas plans. With each passing day everyone became more _______waiting for the final school bell.

But something made David _______. I can still remember he was always wearing a smile and willing to help. He always_______after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He would just smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly _______home.
Weeks passed and the_______over the coming Christmas gradually _______restlessness (不安) until the last day of school before the holiday break. I smiled in_______as the last of them hurried out of the door.________I saw David quietly standing by my desk.
“I have a gift for you.” he said and pulled from behind his back a small box.________it to me, he said “Open it.” I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. But I saw nothing. I looked at David’s smiling face, saying, “The box is nice, David, but it’s ________ .”
“Oh no it isn’t,” said David, “It’s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch________you know it’s there.”
Tears filled my eyes as I looked at the proud dirty face that I had________ given attention to. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning________the little empty box set on my desk.

Ruby, a l6-year-old girl in Chicago No.1 High School, always looked up to her cousin Wanda, who was two years older than her and was studying in a university. Ruby was the only child in her family, so she regarded Wanda as her “immediate” sister. Wanda was not only beautiful, but also smart. She always had best grades in the exams and she could play several kinds of musical instruments, especially the piano. Therefore, she was very popular in her school and she had a lot of friends. In Ruby's eyes, Wanda was a perfect girl so she considered Wanda as her example. Ruby was still in high school but she wanted to go to the same university as Wanda did. Ruby was even in the same clubs in the same high school as Wanda used to be.
Wanda knew that Ruby looked up to her and she appreciated that. On Christmas Day, Wanda sent Ruby a sweater with her university's logo on it as a gift. Ruby was so happy when she got the sweater. She put it on right away and wore it almost every day.
One day in class, Ruby raised her hand to answer the teacher 's question and the teacher, who had ever been Wanda's head teacher, accidentally called her Wanda. “Oh, I'm sorry, but you just look a little like her,” the teacher said. “I'm so glad," Ruby said. From that day on, Ruby studied harder and harder because Wanda did well in all her subjects. Ruby just wanted to catch up with her.
When college admission results came out, Ruby was so nervous to visit the website to see if she got admitted. She closed her eyes and slowly opened them. She found out that she got accepted!
