An old joke that wa

13、s 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 enough difference bet

14、ween the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago Riyer or raise the city.An engineer named Ellis Chesbrougn 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

15、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, of ho

16、ist 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 the Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building?That s where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successf

17、ully. 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, thereb

18、y raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stayed 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 s

19、eemed 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.31 The author mentions the joke to show_.（A）horses were fairly useful in Chicago（B） Chicagos streets were extremely muddy（C） Chicago was

23、 objective recruitment methods. But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of the interview to employers. The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the human factor.Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive fee

24、lings. We might use some kind of test to aid the selection process, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and an impressive work record.But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest, “ This can be a serious problem of employers,“ explains Ala

25、n Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruitment. “The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half-truths rather than complete lies. “ Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice is omission.Interviewer should therefore concentrate on

26、areas of uncertainty such as gaps between periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange. “Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip,

27、false smiles and nervous hand movements all indicate discomfort. “Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique, but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put

28、pressure on those who are being less than completely honest.36 The best tide of this passage can be_.（A）How to Catch Out the Dishonest Candidate（B） How to Find a Job by Tricks（C） Disadvantages of Job Interviews（D）Advantages of Job Interviews37 The liars hard to recognize are those who tell _.（A）comp

29、lete truths（B） complete lies（C） partial truths（D）mainly truths38 How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?（A）By leaving out some necessary information.（B） By providing more information than needed.（C） By using their body language.（D）By telling some unbelievable lies.39 In order

31、ubjective.（C） Suspicious.（D）Credulous.40 In the United States 84 colleges now accept just women. Most of them were established in the 19th century: they were designed to offer women the education they could not receive anywhere else. At that time major universities and colleges accept only men. In t

32、he past 20 years many young women have chosen to study at colleges that accept both men and women. As a result, some womens colleges decided to accept men students too. Others, however, refused to change. Now these schools are popular again.The president of Trinity College in Washington, D. C. said

33、that by the end of the 1980s women began to recognize that studying at the same school with men did not mean women were having an equal chance to learn. The president of Smith College in Massachusetts says a women s college permits women to choose classes and activities freely. For example, she says

34、 that in a women * s college a higher percentage of students studied mathematics than in a college with both men and women.Educational experts say men students in the United States usually speak in class more than women students do. In a women s college, women feel free to say what they think. Women

35、 s schools also bring out leadership capabilities in many women. Women are represented everywhere.For example, at a womens college a woman holds every governing office. Recent studies reportedly show that this leadership continues after college. The studies show American women who went to women s co

36、lleges are more likely to hold successful jobs later in life.41 Why were women s schools started?（A）Women have more initiative in their own schools.（B） To separate men and women students.（C） To bring out women students full potentials.（D）At that time, women were not accepted by major colleges and un

41、 for medical treatment. Every person is registered with a doctor in his or her local area, known as a general practitioner(全科医生)or GP. This means that their names are on the GP s list, and they may make an appointment to see the doctor or may call the doctor out to visit them if they are ill. People

42、 sometimes do have to pay part of the cost of drugs that the doctor prescribes. GPs are trained in general medicine but are not specialists in any particular subject. If a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, they must first go to their GP and then the GP will make an appointment for the patien

43、t to see a specialist at a hospital or clinic.Although everyone in Britain can have free treatment under the NHS, it is also possible for him to have treatment done privately, for which he has to pay. Some people have private health insurance to help them pay for private treatment. Under the NHS, pe

44、ople who need to go to hospital may have to wait for a long time on a waiting list for their treatment.
