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. Ive got a good horse under me.The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system, but there simply wasnt 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 citys 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?Thats 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 buildings foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullmans 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 didnt even notice anything was happening. Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicagos early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicagos waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the citys next step was to clean the polluted river.21. The author mentions the joke to show _.A. horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB. Chicagos streets were extremely muddyC. Chicago was very dangerous in the springD. the Chicago people were particularly humorous22. The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to_.A. get rid of the street dirtB. lower the Chicago RiverC. fight against heavy floodsD. build the pipes above ground23. 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.24. The passage is mainly about the early Chicagos _.A. popular life styles and their influencesB. environmental disasters and their causesC. engineering problems and their solutionsD. successful businessmen and their achievementsBAlexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dads car. She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. Dad, theres a deer there! Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.As the car moved closer, Alexissaw that the deers head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deers head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman.Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. I knew I was in trouble, Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg.Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the womans terrified eyes,and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. I was kicking it to get its attention, she says. Then her father,who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.Alexis helped Sue into the car,and then applied a piece of cloth to Sues injured leg. Were going to get you to a hospital, Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deers head and neck, but the blows didnt scareit away. I was losing faith, she says. A couple more strikes, Alexis, said her father. You can do it.Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deers neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away.Alexis got in the drivers seat and sped toward the nearest hospital. After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help, she says, not to beat up a deer.25.What was Sue doing when she was attacked by the deer?A .She was driving home. B. She was resting on the road.C. She was taking exercise. D. She was feeding wild animals.26. What did Alexis do to save Sue?A. She pushed the deer away.B. She hit the deer with her feetC. She drove the car to hit the deer.D. She beat the deer with a hammer.27. Which of the following words can best describe Alexis?A. Strong. B. Cruel. C. Energetic. D. Brave.28. What is the best title for the passage?A. A Woman Was Seriously InjuredB. A Dangerous Deer Attacked a WomanC. A Girl Rescued Her Father SuccessfullyD. A Teenager Saved Others from a Deer AttackCStuttering(口吃) is a communication disorder(疾病) generally characterized by unconscious repetitions or pauses in the flow of speech. These repetitions and pauses can bake many forms, such as repetitions of parts of words (“li-li-like this”). Sometimes, there are moments when a sound or a period of silence is lengthened (“llllike this” or “l-ike this”).Stuttering can be classified into a number or communication disorders: neurogenic(神经性的) stuttering and psychogenic stuttering are associated with sudden onset (发作) and, as their names imply, with a specific known causeeither a problem in the makeup of the brain or a great psychological challenge. These disorders are comparatively rare and differ in terms of causes, symptoms and treatment from developmental stuttering. Developmental stuttering typically starts between the ages of two and a half and four. The onset of the disorder, which can be gradual or relatively sudden, generally occurs during the period of rapid development in a childs language skills, motor skills, character, and social interaction.The cause of developmental stuttering are not well understood and various theories have been offered throughout the history of speech-language pathology (the study of the causes and effects of illnesses). The roots of stuttering have been believed to relate to a number of causes: emotional problems, neurological problems, improper reactions from caregivers and family members, language planning, and speech motor difficulties among others. These theories have shown the promise of explaining some characteristics of stuttering but no single theory has thoroughly described the experiences of people who stutter.Young children who have stuttered for only a short time have a high rate of natural recovery, though it is impossible to determine which children are most likely to recover and which are likely to continue stuttering. Most experts recommend early evaluation and treatment aimed at preventing the development of a chronic(慢性的) communication disorder.Speech-language pathologists disagree about which approach is best for older children and adults. Treatment options include training to change speech patterns, turning to doctors to minimize negative reactions, drugs, and electronic tools that improve fluency. Self-help and support groups also play an important role in recovery for many people who stutter. Many people who have taken stuttering treatment programs are able to make positive changes in their speech skills and communication abilities so they can communicate freely.29. If a small child begins to stutter, his or her parents should _.A. give their family more time B. consult a doctor immediatelyC. wait for the child to recover naturally D. encourage the child to speak fluently30. What can we say about the approaches to treatment of stuttering?A. They prove to be useless for children.B. They are at the experimental stage.C. They produce positive effects.D. They work against each other.31. The main purpose of the text is to _.A. describe recent research on stutteringB. show us the classification of stutteringC. explain the different forms of stutteringD. offer some basic knowledge of stutteringDBefore I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred. While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laughand the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be.I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasnt only funny, it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you envy one of your friends, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you werent jealous of him.In short, we dont laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a persons emotions, he will certainly like it a lot.32. What did the author find out after studying psychology?A. Only good jokes make people laugh B. Many factors lead to people laughing. C. Funny things can make people laugh D. Laughter can make people healthy.33. Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians?A. They played a trick on the pedestrians.B. The pedestrians behaved in a funny way.C. They could feel the pedestrians happiness.D. Their emotion was approved of by the show.34. What does the underlined word “belittling” probably mean?A. Annoy B. Blame C. Look down on D. Make up to35. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。More and more people are working remotely.
