10.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 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 12feet.
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 10jackscrews.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.
51.The author mentions the joke to showB.

15.Scientists this week announced that lightning can travel much farther and last much longer than previously thought.
The conclusion is based on observations of a storm in Oklahoma(hat produced a lightning bolt(霹雳)nearly 200 miles long.nearly half the width of the state.The longest-lasting flash was observed in southern France.where a single flash in 2012 lasted for 7.74 seconds.Most lightning bolts last less than a second and travel only a few miles.
"We should be more aware of lightning if wc can have lightning (hat can travel 200miles."said Randy Cerveny,the spokesman on weather and climate extremes for the World Meteorological  Organization,which added.for the first time,lightning to its list of extreme weather events.This list includes records for heat,cold,wind speed,rainfall and other events.
Scientists said that the Oklahoma lightning bolt shot from Tulsa,Okla.,westward,nearly to the Texas border.It touched the ground in several places.
The lightning can start tens or hundreds of miles away and then come back to where we are.That's why we have to be careful of where the lightning is coming to ground,even though the storm is past.
Of course not all storms have extreme lightning like that observed in Oklahoman and French storms.The Oklahoma bolt came in the midst of a particularly bad patch of weather early on June 20,2007.
"Most lightning will strike within the 30-30rule,"said Dr.Cerveny."The 30-30 rule is one that we still want to stress and make sure people are aware of…but it does confirm that lightning can hit far from where the storm actually is."
The"30-30"rule stipulates(规定)that if thunder follows lightning within 30 seconds,people should go inside for 30minutes.If it lakes longer,it's safe to stay outside.
Studying lightning is important because it can be fatal when it strikes.This year,35 deaths have been blamed on lightning striker,according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.That's the highest death toll related to lightning strikes in any single year since 2007,reports The Weather Channel-
Though thunder is just the sound of lightening,the rumble(隆隆声)arrives after the  light flash during a storm?because light travels much faster than sound.The booming sound is a shock wave caused by the rapid expansion of air suddenly heated by the lightning holt.

61.According to the authorities,lightning mayB.
A.cause as great harm as a severe earthquake
B.parallel hurricanes in their harm to humans
C.impact on people in a larger area than rains
D.be far more difficult to forecast than storms
62.The"30-30rule"is established lo showD.
A.when we can carry out observations on lightning bolts
B.what the relationship is between lightning and a storm
C.where lightning may possibly reach and cause damage
D.how we might keep ourselves safe from a lightning bolt
63.We can conclude from the passage thatA.
A.the longer distance a bolt covers,the more dangerous it may be
B.lightning bolts tend to take place in extremely hot summer days
C.we mustn't stop caring about the bolts until I hey come to an end
D.where there is no storm.there is no danger from lightning
64.The passage tells  us aboutB.
A.an application in lightning
B.an update on lightning
C.an experiment on lightning
D.an analysis of lightning.
5."Old wives tales"are beliefs passed down from one generation to another.For example,most of us remember our parents'telling us to eat more of certain foods of not to do certain things.Is there any truth in these teachings?Some of them agree with present medical thinking,but others have not passed the test of time.
Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes?Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration.Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40% Garlic(蒜)is good for you,too.It can kill the type of virus that causes colds.
Unfortunately,not all of Mom's advice passed the test of medical studies.For example,generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so.Do sweets cause tooth problems?Well,yes and no.Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.
Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don't hold water,there is still a lot of truth in the old wives'tales.After,much of this knowledge has been accumulated(积累)from thousands of years of experience in family health care.We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.

28.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?D
A.Eating garlic is good for our eyes.
B.Carrots prevent people from catching colds.
C.Swimming after a meal is dangerous.

C.To be admirable.
D.To be suitable.
30.Why do we need to respect the body of knowledge in the old wives'tales?C
A.Because it is told by our ancestors.
B.Because it is scientifically supported.
C.Because it is based on many years'experience.
D.Because it is related to family health care.

12.How to Create a Mind MapMost of us think visually but we write textually.(36)BIt also makes the information we list more difficult to process,remember,and share.
(37)DIt combines the brain's visual nature with our tendency to write down words.We end up with a diagram that combines logic and order in a less structured manner.This promotes clearer thinking and better comprehension.(38)F
So,how do you create a mind map?The most basic method is to just use a pen and paper,or a marker and whiteboard.It begins with a central topic or idea,then flows outward.(39)EThe next level of topics is represented by branches extending from it.
There aren't really any rules for creating mind maps.While most flow outwardly from the central topic,some users prefer to build mind maps in one direction.(40)GThis can make groups of ideas easier to identify and remember.It also makes a mind map more enjoyable to create and use.
Mind maps are extremely effective for taking notes,planning a project,brainstorming an idea,presenting information to others,and many other uses.Take out your pen and have a try.

A.They help to clarify thinking
B.This goes against how our minds actually work
C.They help us save time by focusing on key issues
D.A mind map is the perfect answer to this dilemma
E.Think of it as a tree,where the central point is the trunk
F.It's also a lot more enjoyable than simply writing down lists
G.Other like to add colors,pictures,or symbols in their mind maps.
9.Today,widespread social pressure to immediately go to college together with increasingly high expectations in a fast-moving world often causes students to completely overlook the possibility of taking a gap year.And after going to school for 12 years,it doesn't feel natural to spend a year during something that isn't academic.
But despite common misconceptions,a gap year does not impede the success of academics-in fact,it probably promotes it.
Studies show that students who take a gap year are generally better prepared for and perform better in college than those who do not.Gap year experiences can lessen the difficulty when it comes to adjusting to college and being thrown into a brand new environment,making it easier to focus on academics and activities.
Nearly 80 percent of college students end up changing their majors at least once.Many students find themselves listing one major on their college applications,but switching to another after taking college classes.At Boston College,for example,you would have to complete an extra year were you to switch to the nursing school from another department.Taking a gap year to figure things out initially can help prevent stress and save money later on.
Many people,however,argue that the gap year itself can take much money.That's a math.There are formal gap year programs that are rather pricey,but there are also many opportunities to volunteer and receive free housing or even get paid for your gap year.
Perhaps the most convincing reason for taking a gap year is that it offers a unique opportunity that will likely never reappear.After graduating from college,it's possible to take some time off.Students should think about the next step in their future lives:Don't rule out anything,including a gap year.

25.What might be the author's purpose by writing the passage?B
A.To explain what the gap year really is.
B.To prove the necessity of the gap year.
C.To introduce the way to take the gap year.
D.To describe the students taking their gap year.
26.What stops students taking their gap year?D
A.The pricey gap year programs.
B.Bad performance in high school.
C.High expectations for college life.
D.Worrying about falling behind in study.
27.What can we know about students from the passage?B
A.Nearly 80 percent of college students change their majors only once.
B.High school students have little experience to choose college majors.
C.many new comers of college are suffering from acclimation blunders.
D.All colleges allow their students to change their majors free of charge.
28.What is the author's attitude towards the gap year?A
A.Favorable.
B.Critical.
C.Concerned.
D.Indifferent.
