第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
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.
1、The author mentions the joke to show ______.
A．horses were fairly useful in Chicago
B．Chicago's streets were extremely muddy
C．Chicago was very dangerous in the spring
D．the Chicago people were particularly humorous
2、The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to_______.
A．get rid of the street dirt B．lower the Chicago River
C．fight against heavy floods D．build the pipes above ground
3、The underlined word “hoist”in Paragraph 4 means “_______”.
A．change B．lift
C．repair D．decorate
4、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.
5、The passage is mainly about the early Chicago's ______.
A．popular life styles and their influences
B．environmental disasters and their causes
C．engineering problems and their solutions
D．successful businessmen and their achievements

B
Paulie received a remote control car, some clothes, and a collection of action figures for his birthday. But what he really wanted was this video game he had been asking for. Only Granddad’s present was to come, so, with two fingers on each hand crossed tightly, he hoped.
“Here you go you little whippersnapper.”
“Thanks,” said Paulie, ripping the wrapping clean off the present.
His face dropped; all he got was a drawing pad, and an old, used, wooden pencil.
“Now that there is a magic pencil,” said Granddad.
Paulie looked sceptical.
“It brings imagination to life,” said Granddad, prodding（戳一下）his nose secretly.
Later that night, Paulie was sent to bed. But he couldn’t sleep. He wished he had his game to play, but he didn’t. So he got up, took out his pad and “magic” pencil, and started to draw.
Paulie drew a monster. He then drew a castle for the monster to attack, and he added a princess, as they are always in castles. Paulie figured the monster wanted to eat the princess as her dress made her look like a birthday cake.
Then he drew a knight（骑士）, as knights always rescue princesses.
Then something magical happened. Paulie was sucked into this paper world.
Paulie now stood looking down at the castle. A knight was charging at him. So, with his mighty（有劲儿的）arm, he hit the knight right hard out of the picture. Then he ate the princess.
Paulie soon found himself back in his bedroom. He looked at the paper; on it was a drawing of the monster. It was licking（舔）its finger, with a big smile. Paulie smiled back.
Paulie didn’t want his game anymore. He realised this short but thick pencil and paper could take him anywhere.
1、When Paulie opened his grandpa’s present, he felt .
A．puzzled B．excited
C．disappointed D．angry
2、Paulie couldn’t fall asleep because he .
A．was still expecting his birthday present
B．was too excited with his birthday present
C．didn’t know how to enjoy his birthday present
D．didn’t get the gift he had been expecting
3、Paulie got up and .
A．drew a magic fairy world with the pad and pen
B．ate the princess after fighting against the knight
C．imagined himself the knight protecting the princess
D．made friends with the monster in the castle
4、In the end, Paulie .
A．changed his opinion on a fairy story
B．fell in love with his granddad’s present
C．understood why he didn’t like his presents
D．went anywhere with his pad and pen
