16、o set the table. Instead of going to the dish cabinet, she went into the pantry where there was a stack of old, mismatched dinner plates on the bottom shelf.When she had set all six places, she stood back and sighed, “Oh, Grandma, your plates are so beautiful. Ours are all alike!” We had a good laug

17、h at her innocent remark, but as I think back to all those years ago, I believe she was right. Those plates were beautiful.Mom worked for the local council on aging as a housekeeper. She did many of the little things that allowed elderly people to stay in their own homes. Most of her clients got Mea

18、ls on Wheels, a service in the 1970s. They received a hot lunch and a cold snack in the evening. This is really not very much food. Every evening Mom would make to-go meals on these mismatched plates covered with aluminum foil (铝箔), and then deliver them to the people who she knew didnt get enough t

19、o eat.This was about ten years before microwave ovens became common so it was important that the food be on a plate that could be reheated in a regular oven. Instead of a cold sandwich and macaroni salad, Mom clients dined on Beef Manhattans, pan-fried chicken or meatloaf, along with veggies and a p

20、iece of pie or cake. Mom and Dad did this even after Mom left her job, and Mom continued after Dads death until all her former clients had either passed away or moved out.When I was cleaning our Moms house after her death, I kept one as a souvenir.

23、nough to eat.17. What is the best title for the text?A. Plates of SympathyB. A Precious SouvenirC. Services for the Senior D. A kind-hearted MotherCIn its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck. An

24、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. Ive got a good horse under me.”The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system, but there simply wasnt enou

25、gh 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

26、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 ma

27、in 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?Thats where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skil

28、ls successfully. To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the buildings foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullmans signal, each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same

29、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

30、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.18. The author mentions the joke to show _ .A. horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB. the Chicago people were particularly humor

31、ousC. Chicago was very dangerous in the springD. Chicagos streets were extremely muddy19. The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to _ .A. lift the level of streets with pipesB. lower the Chicago River by drainsC. build pipes to fight against heavy floodsD. get rid of the street dirt th

32、rough pipes20. What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?A. It separated the building from its foundation.B. It interrupted the business of the hotel.C. It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.D. It went on smoothly as intended.21. The passage is mainly about the early

33、Chicagos _ .A. popular life styles and their influencesB. environmental disasters and their causesC. engineering problems and their solutionsD. successful businessmen and their achievementsDSpace exploration has always been the province of dreamers: The human imagination soars where human ingenuity

34、(创造力) struggles to follow. A Voyage to the Moon, often cited as the first science fiction story, was written by Cyrano de Bergerac in 1649. Cyrano was dead and buried for a good three centuries before the first manned rockets started to fly.In 1961, when President Kennedy declared that America would

35、 send a man to the moon by the decades end, those words, too, had a dreamlike quality. They reflected optimism and ambition in much the same way as the most famous dream speech of all, delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. two years later. By the end of the decade, both visions had yielded concrete re

36、sults and transformed American society. And yet in many ways the two dreams ended up at odds with each other. The fight for racial and economic equality is intensely pragmatic (讲求实用的) and immediate in its impact. The urge to explore space is just the opposite. It is literally unrealistic in its aims

37、. When the dust settled, the space dreamers lost out. There was no grand follow-up to the Apollo missions. The technologically compromised space shuttle program has just come to an end, with no successor. The continuous argument is that funds are tight, that we have more pressing problems here on Ea

38、rth. Amid the current concerns about the federal deficit (联邦赤字), reaching toward the stars seems an unnecessary luxury-as if saving one-thousandth of a single years budget would solve our problems.But human ingenuity struggles on. NASA is developing a series of robotic probes that will get the most

39、bang for a buck. They will serve as modern Magellan, mapping out the solar system for whatever explorers follow, whether man or machine. On the other hand, companies like Virgin Galactic are plotting a bottom-up attack on the space dream by making it a reality to the public. Private spaceflight coul

40、d lie within reach of rich civilians in a few years. Another decade or two and it could go main stream.The space dreamers end up benefiting all of us-not just because of the way they expand human knowledge, or because of the technologies they produce, but because the two types of dreams feed off eac

41、h other. Both Martin Luther King and John Kennedy appealed to the idea that humans can transcend what were once considered inherent limitations. Today we face challenges in energy, the environment and healthcare. Tomorrow we will transcend these as well, and the dreamers will deserve a lot of the cr

42、edit. The more evidence we collect that our species is capable of greatness, the more we will actually achieve it.22. The author mentions Cyrano de Bergerac in order to show that _.A. ingenuity is essential for science fiction writersB. imagination is the mother of invention C. it takes patience for

43、 humans to realize their dreams D. dreamers have always been interested in science fiction 23. How did the general public view Kennedys space exploration plan?A. It symbolized the American dream.B. It was as urgent as racial equality.C. It sounded very much like a dream.D. It made an ancient dream c

46、that antibiotics kill only bacteria but not viruses and the obvious risk of antibiotic overuse to personal health, many doctors still use antibiotics when the drugs are not necessary. _26_ In some serious cases, the patients with them failed to respond to any medical treatment and died within days.

47、Therefore, several medical organizations have tried to correct antibiotic misuse by explaining when the drugs are not needed.Ear DiseasesEaraches account for over half of ear related diseases for children. Most earaches gradually heal with no antibiotic in days, especially in children two and older.

48、 _27_ In severe cases or when children under two years old experience moderate to severe pain, antibiotics might be required. Eye DiseasesDoctors often use antibiotic eye drops after treating related diseases. Macular Degeneration, for example, is an eye disease generally treated with injections or

49、laser operation. But those drops are rarely needed after such procedures and can even damage patients eyes.Lung DiseasesFor older patients, particularly those who live in long-term care centers, doctors need to use antibiotics when a routine test finds bacteria in lung. _28_Throat Diseases_29_ There

50、fore, antibiotics shouldnt be widely used in treatments for such diseases. Only less than one third of strep throats are bacterial. If you suspect bacterial throat, get tested to find out for sure.Another report, conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also indicates that a

51、ntibiotic misuse affects at least two million people annually, killing more than 23,000. _30_ Therefore, health experts urge all doctors in practice to follow the above instructions.A. Most throat diseases are caused by viruses.B. Just wait two days to see if symptoms disappear.C. But if the result

52、proves normal, the drugs wont help.D. In this case, antibiotics are the most effective for the old.E. Most doctors already know it, so they say no to antibiotics.F. Under such circumstances, limiting antibiotic misuse is a must. G. This may develop the “superbugs”, which cant be easily controlled. 第
