Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished .statements For each of them there are four chokes marked A. B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. 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 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 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 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 signal 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.61.The author mentions the joke to show( ).A. horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB.

And that's precisely why one 2 Frenchman has caught our attention.Baptiste Dubanchet is biking across Europe, surviving 3 on discarded(丢弃)food. The three-month, 1 900-mile journey from Paris to Warsaw is Dubanchet's 4 of raising awareness of food waste in Europe and throughout the world.As you can 5 , the trip is no piece of cake.

Many questions 12 my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How? As we approached the home that stood in the centre of the property, we saw a 13 that read: " Answers to the Questions I know you are asking." The first answer was: "One Woman-Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain." The second was: " One at a Time." The third: "Started in 1958."For legal 9 , most restaurants have a policy against 10 food waste. "Some people have even 11 their jobs by giving me food," Dubanchet said.What's 12 interesting is the attitude various cities have toward Dubanchet's cause. Berlin has been the 13 while the most difficult was the Czech town of Pilsen. There, he had to 14 at some 50 different stores or restaurants before finding food. The 15 is all the more serious when you consider the 16 exercise required to bike from France to Poland."I have to get food 17 because after all the biking I am tired and I need the 18 ,"Dubanchet explained.

4.2英语阅读翻译 请帮我把这篇文章手译成中文In the past 200 years,Australia has lost 19 species （种类）of animals and 76 species of plants.The Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service estimates that between 100 and 250 million species of animals and plants have lived on Earth since life began about 3.5 million years ago.Today,there are between 5 and 10 million species,of which up to I million speciescould be extinct （灭绝）by the year 2000.The first special to disappear after theEuropean arrival in Australia were the lesser stick-nest rat,the big-earedhopping mouse and the Darling Downs hopping mouse.This occurred in about 1840.Today the council of state and federal ministers responsible for nature conservation （保护） has produced a list of currently endangered vertebrate fauna （脊椎动物）,which includes a range of bettongs wallabies(小袋鼠),and the numbat(袋食蚁兽).Three species of whale,various birds,a number of frogs.Snakes and fish are also on the list.But there is some cause for optimism （乐观）.Several speciespreviously believed extinct have reappeared in recent years.Recently surveyparties in remote areas have even found new species of marsupials(有袋动物),andreptile(爬行的)species are regularly discovered.This could mean that other "extinct" species may yet surface—even the Tasmanian(托斯马尼亚的) tiger,which some authorities believe still exists in the remote regions of Tasmania.

Work Is a ServiceYoung people may ask themselves questions like this when they apply for employment:"What are my working hours?What are my extra benefits besides wages?What holidays will I have off?Will I have enough time to hang out with my friends or pursue my hobbies?"With questions like these,however,when we focus on our leisure hours instead of our working hours,we may be prevented from seeing a much greater opportunity.Good work attitudes,habits,and skills are learned through successful work experiences.Let me illustrate.On the ranch（牧场）where I grew up,the cows had to be milked before dawn every day.When I was just 10 years old,I would enter our barnyard where there were about 10 to 12 cows waiting for me to let them into the milking barn.My mother and father used to say out loud to the cows,"Good morning.It's good to see you!"I have to confess that as a young boy I didn't feel quite the same way toward the cows.After each cow was milked,I poured the milk from the pail into a 10-gallon can.Each can weighed about 80 pounds when full.It made me stretch my young muscles as I carried them to the road for the dairy to pick up.My father and mother quite frequently helped me with milking the cows.I remember my father and mother continued to milk until they were in their late 82s.But Father didn't milk the cows because he had to;he milked them because they needed to be milked.There is a difference.To him,these animals were not just cows -- they were Big Blackie and Bossie and Sally and Betsy.He wanted them to be content.He always said that contented cows give good milk.To my father,milking cows -- as unsophisticated as it may seem -- was not an extra burden;it was an opportunity.Milking was not a job for him;it was a service.This philosophy is something that helped me as I grew up.It helped me to find out that all honest work is honorable.Within a few years I realized that routinely performing these chores actually began to give me a sense of confidence and empowerment.I took pride in my work.We control our own attitudes towards work.Self-confidence and empowerment can serve us well -- in the classroom or on Wall Street.Instead of thinking of our daily work as an extra burden,we should think of it as an opportunity.That's just the way my father taught me to feel about the cows.Those teachings have remained with me all my life,and I continue to visit the ranch and its memories as often as possible.3.Before going to school,the author had to milk all the cows in the morning.( )A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given
