21、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 ________.

C.fight against heavy floods
D.build the pipes above ground
【3】The underlined word “hoist” in Paragraph 4 means “________”.

22、Looking for a good job is a fierce competition for graduates, so we must be careful to make our personal choices. Our family and friends may say it doesn’t matter whatever we are wearing, but the workplace may not.
Some companies forbid visible tattoos (纹身), nose rings, or certain odd dress styles. A high school newspaper editor says it is unfair to judge a person by his appearance. However, as for me, I think we have to admit what we wear does convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of our identity and our thoughts. So it makes sense that companies dress standards exist in the business world, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.
Others may argue what we dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for companies it is more about whether they can make money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees because those people represent the companies to their customers.
I am paid to be a hiring manager and to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are so many qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to refuse someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.
You should be responsible for yourself, if the company says your dress does not match the standards. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.
【1】Which of the following will the newspaper editor agree with according to Paragraph 2?
A.The candidate should also be treated equally even if he wears tattoos or nose rings.
B.What people dress is only a way to carry messages about themselves.
C.It isn’t encouraged to wear strange dress styles.
D.Companies dress standards will be influenced by customers’ choices.
【2】What can be inferred from the text?
A.Candidates have the freedom to decide what to wear for an interview.
B.Because customers’ choices matter most, what to wear is not a matter of personal choice.
C.As a hiring manager, one should make the best impression on their candidates.
D.Companies sometimes have to change their standards to meet their candidates’ need.
【3】Which would be the best title for the text?
A.Your Appearances Matter
B.Personal Choices Matter
C.Employers Matter
D.Hiring Managers Matter
【4】What was the author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in companies?
A.Disagreeable.
B.Unconcerned.
C.Favorable.
D.Objective.
23、For many students, maths and science have always been boring subjects, too bogged down(陷入困境)with technical details to ever be fun or exciting. Teachers have long tried a variety of strategies to get students excited about STEM, which stands for science, technology, engineering and maths. 【1】
The use of robotics is on the rise in today’s world, and allowing students to play with robots and learn how they work can have huge benefits for them. Not only does it give them a head start in subjects like computer programming, maths and science, it can also develop an interest in careers students may have never considered before.
Robots Teach More Than Tech Skills
Robots are most often associated with technology and other STEM-related fields. However, playing with robots has educational benefits beyond simply learning to build and program the robots themselves. Robots can be used to develop problem-solving skills, get students working cooperatively and more.
One of the most popular uses for robots is in problem-based learning. In this learning model, students are presented with a problem they must solve. 【2】 This inspires creativity, critical thinking and cooperation which are important 21s-century skills.
Robots Help Students with Disabilities
Robots aren’t just for students who need a challenge. 【3】 Students with autism(自闭症), in particular, can react quickly to robots.
Students with autism who may shy away from interaction with a human being are more likely to open up to a robot, and the risk of failure or embarrassment in front of the robot is much lower. 【4】 Research into this possibility has already begun.
Robots are only going to become a bigger part of everyday life in the future. Using robots in the classroom is a proven way to get kids excited and increase learning.
A.It turns out, one of the best ways to get kids interested in STEM is through the use of robots.
B.STEM is an education curriculum that focuses heavily on the subjects of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
C.Instead of following a teacher’s directions, students work out their own solutions to the problem.
D.Here’s how applying modern technology can benefit students in PE class and enhance cross-curricular engagement.
E.Robots can provide a way for students with autism to practice social skills without the pressure of interacting with a real person.
F.Playing with robots can have additional benefits for students with disabilities.
24、The Fifth National List of Representative Elements of Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) of China was announced, adding 185 items to the list, including the skills of making luosifen.
Luosifen, or river snail rice noodles, is a dish known for its special smell in the southern Chinese city of Liuzhou. Combining the traditional food of the Han people with that of the Miao and Dong ethnic (民族的) groups, luosifen is sour, spicy, salty, hot and even smelly after being boiled.
Originating in Liuzhou in the 1970s, luosifen served as an inexpensive street snack that people outside of the city knew little about. In 2012, luosifen appeared in a hit Chinese food TV program, A Bite of China. After that, it became a household name.
The development of the Internet, especially the boom of e-commerce, has brought this Chinese local food passion to a new level. Luosifen often shows up in videos by food bloggers. One of the most influential (有影响力的) bloggers has 15.5 million followers on social media. Her video of how to make luosifen has gained millions of views on the websites abroad.
The development of the Internet allowed luosifen to be well received. According to data from main e-commerce platforms, the turnover of luosifen in 2021 was 15 times more than that of 2020, with the number of buyers growing 9 times year on year.
As luosifen becomes more and more popular, the local government is trying to establish the official international position of this unique fine food. Authorities in Liuzhou City have applied for UNESCO’s recognition of luosifen as an intangible cultural heritage.
【1】What made luosifen well known around China in 2012?
