The researchers asked the children to look at each image and list as manyuses as they could think of. A group of participants completed the task twic—e on one version of the task, they wore mittens〔连指手套〕that limited their ability to gesture.Restricting children ’ s ability to gesture did not affect their ability to come up with creative uses for the objects; Children who were free to gesture produced about the same number of ideas as those who wore the mittens and could not gesture.In a second experiment, 54 children completed the same alternative-uses task. In some cases, children gestured normally; in other cases, the researchers encouraged the children to “ use your hands to show me how you could use the object in different ways 〞.The encouragement worked: Children who were specifically encouraged to gesture produced a greater number of creative uses for the objects than did the children who were not given any special instruction.“ Our findings add to the growing body of evidence showing the significant role of gesturein thinking and have applications to the classroom, 〞Kirk concluded in their paper.28 .What did the researchers intend to find out in the first experiment?A. The number of creative ideas the children could think of.B. How the children would explore the properties of the items.C. Whether encouraging gesture would help to produce more new ideas.D. The difference between thinking with gestures and without gestures.29 .Why were mittens used in the experiment?A. To restrict gestures.B. To limit creative thinking.C. To test the ability to gesture,D. To increase creative ideas.30 .When did the children think of the most new ideas?A. When wearing mittens.B. When encouraged to gesture.C. When naturally gesturing.D. When not using their hands.31 .What would be the best title for the text?A. Communicate with GesturesB. Think with Your HandsC. Use Everyday Items CreativelyD. Make Gestures when NecessaryDDavid, a French priest 牧师〕of thirty-six, was sent to China by the church in 1872.He did well in the natural and social science besides his religious activities〔教活动〕.He was also very interested in the rare wild animals and plants in China.On May 4th, 1879, after searching half a month in the western part of Baoxing, Sichuan the hunters hiredjg 用〕by David succeeded in bringing him a "black-and-white bear".

passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.I grew up poor---living in the housing projects (住房)with six brothers, three sisters, a varying assortment (各式各样东西的混合)of foster kids (养子), my father, and a wonderful mother, Scarlette Hunley.We had little money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention.I was 36 and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still 37 a dream.My dream was 38 .By the time I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, and hit anything that moved on the baseball field.I was also 39 : My high school coach Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but taught me how to believe in myself.He 40 me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction (信念).One particular incident with Coach Jarvis changed my life forever.It was the summer between my junior and senior years, and a friend 41 me for a summer job.This meant a chance for money in my pocket—cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the 42 of savings for a house for my mother.The prospect of a summer job was attractive and interesting, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.Then I realized I would have to 43 summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing.When I told Coach Jarvis, he was 44 as I expected him to be.“You have your whole life to work,” he said.“Your 45 days are limited.You can’t afford to waste them.”I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his 46 to me.“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” He demanded.“3.5 dollars an hour.” I replied.“Well,” he asked, “Is $3.5 an hour the price of a dream?”That question, the plainness of it, laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal.I delicated myself to sports that summer and with the year I was hired by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play baseball, and was 47 a $20,000 contract.I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1998 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the house of my dreams.36.A.happy B.polite C.shy D.honest37.A.live B.afford C.make D.need 38.A.athletics B.music C.business D.money 39.A.right B.popular C.lucky D.confident40.A.persuaded B.taught C.brought D.asked 41.A.sent B.advised C.gave D.recommended 42.A.aim B.idea C.start D.purpose 43.A.give in B.give up C.give away D.give off 44.A.disappointed B.mad C.frightened D.shameful 45.A.living B.playing C.working D.learning 46.A.sadness B.regret C.hopelessness D.disappointment 47.A.paid B.got C.offered D.presentedSection C (12 marks)Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.Last week I visited Plattsburgh State University (PSU).People had told me that it was a good college, but it was even 48 than I had expected.Located in the small city of Plattsburgh, PSU is 49 nice-looking school.Inside, the buildings have signs to point you in the right direction if you don’t know 50 you are going.The average class has 24 students.One thing I found interesting was that 51 you are a good note-taker, the professor will pay you to photocopy (复印)your notes for the rest of the class.PSU offers a lot of majors, including art, history, science 52 nursing.All of these programs are especially designed 53 students to meet their future work needs.The school also has many academic programs, including an honors program .PSU has many clubs, ranging 54 dance clubs to sports clubs.This school has a great reputation and offers a lot to 55 students.I think that PSU is certainly a college to consider.Part Ш Reading Comprehension (30 marks)Directions: Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AAs is known, healthy foods can help save your life.Now, here is a list of healthy foods that can save your memory.It is best that every person knows what he eats, as he takes in, can make or break himself, in terms of health.Fish is helpful in regaining back the kind of memory that a person once has.Eating fish can help you save the trouble of forgetfulness.Vegetables rich in fiber and other dark and green leafy kinds are very suitable for people who want to avoid mental blocks.These foods contain high units of vitamin E.Another food that is considered having different effects on preventing this brain deficiency (缺陷)is avocado (鳄梨), which is also rich in vitamins E and C.It is really good to know these healthy foods that can save your memory are always at hand so as to help you in your fight against diseases.Sunflower seeds are regarded as Vitamin C-powered seeds and also give you enough energy.As for red wine, do not over consume it, as it is said to have to be taken in moderate amounts in order to help the body.Over-drinking can cause illness and like anything else.This is considered as one of the healthy foods that can save your memory; alcohol can otherwise lose it.It is better to consume colored bread, rice and whole grains for you to get the best out offiber.These foods can lower the body’s risk of being infected with Alzheimer’s disease(老年痴呆病).Knowing the healthy foods that can save your memory is living the life that you have longed and desired.Among the others, the best, of course, is exercise.Taking in different kind of exercises, physical activities or sports can keep both your body and mind healthy.56.If you suffer from loss of memory, you _______.A.should eat cucumbers and cabbages B.can drink as much wine as possibleC.had better take in fish in your meals D.may as well take more Vitamin C57.To prevent mental disease from happening, _______.A.people are advised to take avocados B.it is best to eat vegetables high in fiberC.it is better to have more sunflower seeds D.red wine is the first and best choice 58.Which of the following is the most important for health?A.Drinking a proper amount of red wine every day.B.Eating bread made of whole grains.C.Adding Vitamin C-powered seeds to meals.D.Taking moderate exercise every day.59.How many means for health does the author mention in the passage?A.Six B.Seven C.Eight D.Nine60.Which of the following is most suitable for the passage?(①=Para.1 ②=Para.2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤=Para.5 ⑥=Para.6)BI heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling.I wish it were so.At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents.You should be learning to stand on your own two feet.But take a good look at the present rebellion.It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents.Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握)at one another’s hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please.But they all wear the same clothes.They set offin new directions in music.But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起)round listening to the same record.Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it.They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧)into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way.Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market.These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be.And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children.All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over.The path is worth following.You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party.You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records.You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates.Well, go to it.Find yourself.Be yourself.Popularity will come —with the people who respect you for who you are.That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.61.In this passage, the author wants to tell _______.A.readers to try to be popular with people aroundB.teenagers to try to pursue their real selvesC.parents to try to control and guide their childrenD.people to try to understand and respect each other62.The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers _______.A.growing away from their parents B.turning to their friends for helpC.walking a new way on their own D.following the popularity trend63.The phrase “a larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to _______.A.the distractive and variable society B.the popularity wave in the societyC.the parental care and love D.the dazzling music world64.What does the author think of advertisements?A.Convincing.B.Instructive.C.Influential.D.Authoritative.65.According to the author, what might happen when a teenager stands up against the popularity wave and follows his/her own path?A.He/She gains valuable popularity.B.He/She loses good friends.C.He/She faces all kinds of criticism.D.He/She falls behind the time.CGreen-space facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment.Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea.At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof.The recognition of the importance of green-spaces in the urban environment is a first step on the right way; this does not mean, however, that enough details are known about the functions of greenspaces in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants (居民)are using these spaces.The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate (不成比例的)attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas (但是)there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home.We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home.So it is obivous that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house.The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory (强制性的)activities can also have a recreative aspect.The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot of enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you.66.According to the author, the importance of greenspaces in the urban environment _______.A.is still unknown B.is being closely studiedC.is usually neglected D.has been fully recognized67.The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation has led to _______.A.the disproportion of recreation facilities in the neighborhoodB.all of the recreation facilities far from homeC.relatively little attention for recreative possibilitiesD.the improvement of recreative possibilities in the neighborhood68.The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of greenspaces should be provided _______.A.in special areas B.in the suburbsC.in the neighbourhood of the house D.in gardens and parks69.The author says “more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect” to _______.A.suggest that obligatory activities don’t need to seriousB.show that recreation activities are very importantC.show how recreation activities have spread wildlyD.suggest how to offer recreation activities around home70.Why would someone only feel himself at home according to the last paragraph?A.One lives the very best standard of living.B.There are too many distractions outside his home.C.There are few recreations around his house.D.One needs the street door of his house to be opened always.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 passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.A busy life can be personally satisfying, but it may make you feel too tired to achieve the inner peace that will connect you with your true happiness.Begin with simplifying your life and working towards a more peaceful state of mind.Recognize the differences between the things you need and the things you want.Our culture provides us with the message that materials will make our lives better.The reality is that most of these things will complicate our lives without bringing true happiness.Free yourself-- learn to be satisfied with fewer materials and greater simplicity.If you let someone else define your life, your’re missing the chance to follow your own desires.Your inner life is weakened when you are limited by conformity.Why do you give up your freedom and allowed all of your decisions to be defined by what others think you “should” do? Think for yourself.Let your passions be your guide.Life is full of opportunities to earn money, give services.Learn new skills and make new friends.Some of us want them all and fill up our timetable with all kind of activities.Rushing from one activity to another leaves you with no time to slow down.No matter how worthy you think your activities are, rethink them.Keep the ones that are most important and leave out the ones that are adding to the pace of your life with little return.Life is forever changing, and you will never reach a point of simplicity and endless happiness.But each moment you spend on the path to simplicity does have the possibility to bring happiness to your life.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage .According to one study, words send only 7 percent of a person’s message.Intonation (语调)and voice quality communicate 38 percent, and nonverbal(not using or involving words)cues (暗示)transmit a large 55 percent.That means people pick up more from nonverbal communication than from the words a person says.When studying a foreign culture then, it just makes sense to pay attention to how people use nonverbal cues.Gestures consist of a major form of nonverbal communication.But often these gestures are culture-bound.For example, when the Maoris of New Zealand stick out (伸出)their tongue at someone, it is a sign of respect.When American schoolchildren make the same gesture, it means just the opposite.Also, Americans often indicate “OK” with their thumb and fore-finger touching to form a circle.The same gesture means “money” to the Japanese and “zero” to the French.For that reason, people in a foreign culture must use gestures with caution.Another part of nonverbal communication is the one that you might not think about — space.When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable.When he knocks into someone, he feels obligated (有义务的)to apologize.But the size of a person’s “comfort zone” varies, depending on his cultural or ethnic origin.For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart.People in Latin or Arabic cultures, instead, stand very close to each other and touch each other often.Considering the effects of nonverbal communication, we never really stop communicating.How we walk, how we stand and how we use our hands all send a message to others.That’s why it’s possible to “read someone like a book”.81.How does an American feel when an Arab stands too close to him ?(no more than 3 words)82.What does the gesture “OK” mean in Japan? (no more than 3 words)83.Why do we pay more attention to nonverbal cues in a foreign country?(no more than 10 words)84.Why should people in a foreign culture must use gestures with caution?(no more than 10 words)Section C (25 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.仔细阅读下面四幅图画,根据其内容和汉语提示写一篇英语短文。

It’s three pages long, and it sums up my life experience of fourdecades. By the time they reach adulthood, they will have heard most of their fath er’sadvice in that letter: live in the moment, do not attach yourself to physical things,treat others the way you would like to be treated, etc. I sealed the letter in awhite envelope, and wrote instructions that nobody should open it unless somethinghorrible happened to me.As a police officer, I haveseen life disappear in an instant.

Sometimes I am cynical,unwilling to believe that people have good and honest reasons for doing something.I also get stressed and upset, yelling at my kids sometimes, and sometimes I amnot as loving or as sympathetic as I should be.

It may wash away the inner confusion youfeel right after being forced to make a choice between two appealing choices,according to a new study. The study builds on past research into a phenomenonknown as “the Macbeth effect”.It turns out thatShakespeare was really onto something when he imagined lady Macbeth trying toclean her conscienceby rubbing invisible bloodstains from her hands. A few years ago,scientists asked people to describe a past wrong act. If people were then givena chance to clean their hands, they later expressed less guilt than people whohadn’t cleaned.This finding fascinated W.S. Lee, a researcher. “Anything from the past, any kind of negativeemotional experiences, might be washed away,” says Lee.He decided to test handwashing’s effect on one kind of bad feeling: the tension we feel after beingforced to choose between two attractive choices, because picking one choicemake s us feel that we’ve lose the other. People usually try to calm this innerconflict by later exaggerating the positive aspects oftheir choice.He had students rank 10different music CDs. Then he offered students one CD as a gift. Some studentsthen use liquid soap. Others only looked at the soap or sniffedit. “Actually, you donot need water and soap,” says Lee.Later, the students againhad to rank all the music. People who didn’t wash their hands had the normalresponse — they scored their take-home CDhigher, suggesting that they now sawit as even more attractive than before. But this wasn’t true for the handwashers. They ranked the music about the same. “they feel no need at allto justify the choice,” say Lee.But the implications of itjust aren’t clear. Schwarz says it’s too soon to know whether people shouldhead for a sink after making a tough choice. He says washing may helpdecision-makers by cleaning away mental disorder, but perhaps if they don’t gothrough the usual post-decision process of justifying their choice, they mightfeel more sorrow in the long run.(1)The Macbeth effect refers to the fact that ________.A . Shakespeare did scientific research before writing MacbethB . soaping up one’s hand may help wash away the inner confusion and make a decisionC . people feel less guilty by getting rid of invisible germs from their handsD . people feel less ashamed after washing their hands(2)According to Lee, after people make the choice ________.A . they will overstate the goodness of their chosen choiceB . they will feel regretful for not choosing anotherC . they will feel free due to the feeling of losing the other choiceD . they will think nothing of their chosen choice any more to calm their inner conflict(3)According to Lee, the hand washers consider the judgment of choice ________.A . more scientificB . unnecessaryC . a little convincingD . absolutely useless(4)What does Schwarz need to research more?A . Whether people need to justify their choice.B . Whether people feel more sorrow after washing hands.C . Whether washing hands help over a long period of time.D . Whether washing hands is helpful to make a choice.(5)What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A . Is Washing Hands Necessary to Defeat Tension?B . Washing Hands, Washes Our MindC . Washing Hands, Helps Make a Better ChoiceD . Washing Hands, Reduces the Stress of Decision20. 阅读理解What is one of the mostboring and tiresome words ever? Like discipline, responsibility is one of thosewords you have probably heard so many times from authority figures that youhave been a bit allergic to it. Still, it’s one of the most important things togrow and to feel good about your life. Without it as a foundation nothing elsein any personal development book really works.It’s been said that theline between childhood and adulthood is crossed when we move from saying”It got lost” to “I lost it”. Indeed, being accountable,understanding and accepting the role our choices play in the things that happenare important signs of emotional and moral maturity. That’s why responsibilityis one of the main support s of good character.Many people have beenrefusing to grow up and avoiding the burdens implied in being accountable. Yes,responsibility sometimes requires us to do things that are unpleasant or evenfrightening. It asks us to carry our own weight, prepare and set goals andexercise the discipline to reach our ambitions. But the benefits of acceptingresponsibility are far more important than theshort-lived advantages ofrefusing to do so. No one makes his or her life better by avoidingresponsibility. In fact, irresponsibility is a form of self-forced servitude to circumstances and to other people.George Bernard Shaw oncesaid, “People are always blaming their c ircumstances for what they are. Idon’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look forthe circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.”“Man must stop owing his problems to his environment and learn again toexercise his will ---his personal responsibility in the realm of faith andmorals,” said Albert Schweitzer.The following incidentshows blaming others and not taking full responsibility: Bernard L. Brow. Jr.once worked in a hospital where a patient knocked over a cup of water, whichspilled on the floor beside the patient’s bed. The patient was afraid he mightslip on the water if he got out of the bed, so he asked a nurse to mop it up.The patient didn’t know it, but the hospital policy said that small spills werethe responsibility of the nurse while large spills were to be mopped up by thehospital’s housekeeping group.The nurse decided the spillwas a large one and she called the housekeeping group. A housekeeper arrivedand declared the spill a small one. An argument followed. “It’s not myresponse.” Well, it’s not mine.” she said,” the puddle is toosmall.”The angry patient listenedfor a time, then took a pitcher of water from his night table and poured thewhole thing on the floor. “I s that a big enoughpuddle now for you two todecide?” he asked. It was, and that was the end of the argument.So, responsibility is aboutour ability to respond to circumstances and to choose the attitudes, actionsand reactions that shape our lives. It is a concept of power that puts us inthe driver’s seat. The grand sight of the potential of our lives can only beappreciated when we begin to be accountable and independent. If you want morecontrol over your life and the pleasures, power of freedom and independence,all you have to do is be responsible. Responsible people not only depend onthemselves, but show others that they can be depended on.(1)Those who escape from accepting responsibility________.A . can’t achieve their goals in a short timeB . can bene fit from not growing up in the endC . can miss the advantages of being a responsible personD . can avoid the burdens of unpleasant or frightening things (2)What does the underlined part “get on” mean?A . Succeed.B . Struggle.C . Serve.D . Exist.(3)What d oes George Bernard Shaw’s saying imply?A . We shouldn’t care what kind of situations we’re in.B . We shouldn’t owe failure to the sense of responsibility.C . We should bear responsibility regardless of situations.D . We should first step out of our present circumstances.(4)Why was the patient quite angry, with the nurse and the housekeeper?A . Because he had slipped on the water by chance.B . Because he had tomop up the water by himself.C . Because he didn’t like the noise made in hospital.D . Because he found them refusing their responsibility.(5)What is the author’s understanding of responsibility in the last paragraph?A . It shapes our lives with more opportunities.B . It enables us to react with dependable attitude.C . It encourages us to be more helpful and independent.D . It strengthens our ability to fight against bad circumstances.四、任务型阅读21. 任务型阅读“Cleverness is agift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy---they’re given after all.Choices can be hard.”I got the idea to startAmazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growingat 2300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew thatfast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles wasvery exciting to me. I had just tu rned 30, and I’d been married for a year. Itold my wife that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing thatprobably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t and I wasn’t sure what toexpect. She told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I had been a garageinventor. I had always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow mypassion.I was working at afinancial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people and abrilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him that Iwanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. Hetook me on a longwalk in Central Park, listened carefully to meand finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t alreadyhave a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making afinal decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t thinkI would regret trying and failing. And I suspected that I would always behaunted by a decision to not try at all.After muchconsideration, I took the less secure path to follow my passion, and I’m proudof that choice. For all of us, in the end, we ar e our choices.(1)What inspired the author tostart Amazon 16 years ago?(2)How did the author’s wife respondto his crazy idea of building an online bookstore?(3)What was the attitude of theauthor’s boss towards his starting a company online?(4)What’s your understanding ofthe underlined sentence in the last paragraph?(5)What is the most important factorwhen you make your career choice?

Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women. But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She was an expert at the language of poetry. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago. The South Side of Chicago is where many back people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was A Street in Bronzeville that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. Critics praised her poetic skill and her powerful descriptions of the black experience during the time. The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. She won the prize for her second book of poems called Annie Allen. Annie Allen is a collection of poetry about the life of a Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and mother. She experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor. Ms. Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called Maud Martha, Maud Martha received little notice when it was first published. But now it is considered an important work by some critics. Its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today.In some of her poems, Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are. One example is this poem, Corners on the Curing Sky.By the end of the 1960s, Gwendolyn Brooks's poetry expanded from the everyday experiences of people in Bronzeville. She wrote about a wider world and dealt with important political issues.24. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The life of Gwendolyn Brooks.B. The understanding about black culture.C.

The poems related to political issues.CIn 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.28.The author mentions the joke to show ________.A.horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB.Chicago was very dangerous in the springC.Chicago's streets were extremely muddyD.the Chicago people were particularly humorous29.The underlined word “hoist” in Paragraph 4 means “________”.A.change B.lift C.repair D.decorate30.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.31.The passage is mainly about early Chicago's ________.A.popular life styles and their influencesB.environmental disasters and their causesC.engineering problems and their solutionsD.successful businessmen and their achievementsDNot all awards are as noble as the Nobel Prize,which is world-famous for giving prizes to people who made progress in literature, science, economics and —perhaps most importantly —peace.Even though most countries have a system for recognizing,honoring and rewarding people who have done something good in their countries,and there are now hundreds of awards and awards ceremonies for all kinds of things.The Oscars are probably the most famous award for the film industry to tell itself how good it is. It’s not only films—now there are also Grammies,Brits and the MTV awards for music. The Turner Prize is an award for a British artist—each year it causes contestation by giving lots of money to artists who do things like displaying their beds,putting animals in glass cases or —this year— building a garden shed. People have different voices about the huge prize for it!Awards don’t only exist for the arts. There are now awards for Sports Personality of the Year,for European Footballer of the year and World Footballer of the Year. This seems very strange — sometimes awards can be good to give recognition to people who deserve it,or to help people who don’t make a lot of money carry on their work without worrying about finances,but professional soccer players these days certainly aren’t short of cash!Why have all these awards and ceremonies appeared recently?Shakespeare never won a prize,nor did Leonardo da Vinci or Adam Smith or Charles Dickens.Most awards ceremonies are now sponsored by big organizations or companies.This means that it is not only the person that wins the award who benefits —but also the sponsors. The MTV awards,for example,are great for publicizing not only music,but also MTV itself !On the surface,it seems to be a “winwin” situation,with everyone being happy,but let me ask you a question — how far do you think that publicity and marketing are winning here,and how much real recognition of achievement is taking place?32.Which of the following awards will the author recognize as noble?A.The Nobel Prize.
