36、ad rules     B  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 mu

37、ddy 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 lev

38、el. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.  An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced me 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 fe

39、et.  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 the entire buildings to

40、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

41、big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤頂) 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 rais

42、ing 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

43、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.  61. The author mentions the joke to show _.  A. horses were fairly useful in Chicago  B. Chicag

44、o's streets were extremely muddy  C. Chicago was very dangerous in the spring  D. the Chicago people were particularly humorous  62. The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to_.  A. get rid of the street dirt  B. lower the Chicago Ri

48、 inspected your room to see if you cleaned it properly? Imagine having your entire houses, garage, and yard inspected at any time - with no warning. Inspections were a regular part of lighthouse (燈塔) living, and a keeper's reputation depended on results. A few times each year, an inspector arriv

49、ed to look over the entire light station. The inspections were supposed to be a surprise, but keeper sometimes had advance notice.  Once lighthouses had telephones, keepers would call each other to warn that the inspector was approaching. After boats began flying special flags noting the i

50、nspector aboard, the keeper's family made it a game to see who could notice the boat first. As soon as someone spotted the boat, everyone would do last-minute tidying and change into fancy clothes. The keeper then scurried to  put on his dress uniform and cap. Children of keepers remem

51、ber inspectors wearing white gloves to run their fingers over door frames and windowsills looking for dust.  Despite the serious nature of inspections, they resulted in some funny moments. Betty Byrnes remembered when her mother did not have time to wash all the dishes before an inspection

52、. At the time, people did not have dishwashers in their homes. In an effort to clean up quickly, Mrs. Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan, covered them with a cloth and stuck them in the oven. If the inspector opened the oven door, it would look like bread was baking. he never did.

53、0; One day, Glenn Furst's mother put oil on the kitchen floor just before the inspector entered their house. Like floor wax, the oil made the floors shiny and helped protect the wood. This time, though, she used a little too much oil. When the inspector extended his hand to greet Glenn'

54、s mother, he slipped on the freshly oiled surface. "He came across that floor waving his arms like a young bird attempting its first flight," Glenn late wrote. After he steadied himself, he shook Glenn's mother's hand, and the inspection continued as though nothing had happened.

55、60; 66. What does Paragraph I tell us about the inspection at the light station?  A. It was carried out once a year.  B. It was often announced in advance.  C. It was important for the keeper's fame.  D. It was focused on the garage and yard. 

56、60;67. The family began making preparations immediately after _.  A. one of the members saw the boat  B. a warning call reached the lighthouse  C. the keeper put on the dress uniform and cap  D. the inspector flew special flags in the distance  68. M

59、warm greeting to Glenn's mother  D. to express his intention to continue the inspection     Part IV Writing (45 marks)  Section A (10 marks)  Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the pa

60、ssage  Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.  Not all print dictionaries are the same, as you will notice when you select one. To make a wise selection, you should know how to distinguish among three kinds of print dictionaries: pocket, desk, and unabridged. You should

61、also know the copyright date of your dictionary, and check is special features.  A pocket dictionary is small. Generally, it contains no more than 75000 entries, making it hardly to carry to class and efficient to use. However, a pocket dictionary doesn't contain enough entries to be a

62、dequate for college reference homework. In addition, the information about each word in a pocket dictionary is generally limited. A desk dictionary is medium sized, generally containing over 100,000 entries as well as extra features. For college work, you should own a current desk dictionary. An una

63、bridged dictionary is a complete dictionary. Abridged dictionaries, such as pocket and desk dictionaries, are shortened. Because unabridged dictionaries contain nearly all English words, they are large and heavy. They are often used by schools and libraries.  If the copyright date of your

64、current dictionary shows that it was published five or more years ago, consider investing in a more recent edition. English is a dynamic language that admits new words and recognizes changes in meaning, spelling, and usage of familiar words. This is reflected  in an up-to-date dictionary.&

65、#160; In selecting a dictionary, check the features it offers besides vocabulary definitions. Many editions contain signs, symbols and foreign words. Some also contain CD-ROMs and access to special online features.     Section B (10 mark.)  Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the
