An old joke that was popular at the time went 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 (吊起) the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small woodframe buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like the Tremont Hotel, which was a sixstory brick building?Thats where George Pullman came in. He had developed some housemoving skills successfully. To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤頂) beneath the buildings foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullmans sign each man turned his jackscrews by 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 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.體裁：說(shuō)明文題材：社會(huì)問(wèn)題主題：芝加哥洪水問(wèn)題【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文主要介紹了芝加哥為了應(yīng)對(duì)洪水泛濫的問(wèn)題而實(shí)行了一些解決方案的故事。4The author mentions the joke in Paragraph 1 to show _.Ahorses were fairly useful in ChicagoBChicagos streets were extremely muddyCChicago was very dangerous in the springDthe Chicago people were particularly humorous答案與解析：B考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段第一句“In its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses and carts got stuck”可推知，作者提及這個(gè)笑話是為了表明芝加哥的街道非常泥濘，故選B。5The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to _.Aget rid of the street dirtBlower the Chicago RiverCfight against heavy floodsDbuild the pipes above ground答案與解析：D考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段第一句“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”可知，Ellis Chesbrough讓城市規(guī)劃者相信在地上建管道才能解決洪水泛濫所帶來(lái)的問(wèn)題，故選D。6What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?AIt went on smoothly as intended.BIt interrupted the business of the hotel.CIt involved Pullman in turning ten jackscrews.DIt separated the building from its foundation.答案與解析：A考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段內(nèi)容可推知，用螺旋千斤頂把the Tremont Hotel升高的事項(xiàng)進(jìn)展順利，故選A。7The passage is mainly about the early Chicagos _.Apopular lifestyles and their influencesBenvironmental disasters and their causesCengineering problems and their solutionsDsuccessful businessmen and their achievements答案與解析：C考查主旨大意。結(jié)合全文可知，本文主要講的是早期芝加哥如何應(yīng)對(duì)洪水泛濫的問(wèn)題的故事，故選C。.七選五2019石家莊檢測(cè)一A gratitude journal is a great way to keep yourself in a positive state of mind.
