I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”‎ A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.‎ Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.‎ Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “ But I’m just not creative.”‎ ‎“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”‎ ‎“Oh, sure.”‎ ‎“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you? ”‎ ‎“Nobody. I do it.”‎ ‎“Really-at night, when you’re asleep? ”‎ ‎“Sure.”‎ ‎“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay? ”‎ ‎4. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________？‎ A. raise the students’ interest in art B. make the lessons more exciting C. know more about the students D. teach the students about toy design ‎5. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3？‎ A. He liked to help his teacher. B. He preferred to study alone.‎ C. He was imaginative. D. He was active in class.‎ ‎6. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean？‎ A. Drawback. B. Mistake. C. Difficulty. D. Burden.‎ ‎7. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams？ ‎ A. To find out about their ways of thinking. B. To find out about their sleeping habits.‎ C. To help them to improve their memory. D. To help them to see their creativity.‎ C I am peter Hodes, a volunteer stem courier. Since March 2012, I've done 89 trips of those , 51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells(干细胞)in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.‎ I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you-there are no fights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.”She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.‎ For this courier job, you’re consciously aware that in that box you’ve got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.‎ ‎8.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph1?‎ A. provider B. medical doctor C. collector D. delivery man ‎ ‎9.Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours？‎ A. The ice won't last any longer.‎ B. The donor can only wait for that long.‎ C. The operation needs that very much.‎ D. He cannot stay away from his job too long.‎ ‎10.Which flight did the woman put Peter on first？‎ A. To London B. To Washington C. To Providence D. To Newark ‎ D 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. 11. The author mentions the joke to show ______. A. Chicago's streets were extremely muddy B. horses were fairly useful in Chicago C. Chicago was very dangerous in the spring D. the Chicago people were particularly humorous 12.The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to_______. A. get rid of the street dirt  B. lower the Chicago River C. build the pipes above ground D. fight against heavy ‎ floods 13.The underlined word “hoist” in Paragraph 4 means “_______”. A. change B. decorate C. repair D. lift 14.What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel? A. It interrupted the business of the hotel. B. It went on smoothly as intended. C. It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews. D. It separated the building from its foundation. 15.The passage is mainly about the early Chicago's ______. A. engineering problems and their solutions B. environmental disasters and their causes C. popular life styles and their influences D. successful businessmen and their achievements 第二部分 完形填空（每小题1.5分，满分30分） ‎ The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.‎ Cathy suffered some terrible   16   in her early childhood.
