Opened in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge was the first long?span bridge to carry motor traffic, and it quickly became the model for the great suspension bridges of the following century. Spanning New York's East River, it provided the first traffic artery (要道)between Manhattan Island and Brooklyn. Before that, the only transportation was by ferries, which were slow and could be dangerous in winter.
The construction of a bridge over the EastRiver had been discussed since the early 19th century, but the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861 deflected all consideration of the project. When the war ended in 1865, the bridge became an important issue once more. In 1867, the New York State passed an act setting up the New York Bridge Company for the purpose of constructing a bridge between Manhattan Island and Brooklyn.
John Augustus Roebling was chosen to design the bridge. Born in Germany in 1806, he held aggressive views as a student and was listed by the German police as a dangerous figure. He emigrated to America in 1830 to escape political discrimination.
Roebling proposed a bridge with a span of 1,500 feet (465 m), with two towers in the East River serving as the main piers. The bridge that was actually built is longer—1,597 feet (486 m), the longest suspension bridge at that time.
1.What was the purpose of building the Brooklyn Bridge?
A.To replace an old bridge.
B.To set up a model for bridge construction.
C.To build a long?span bridge for the Civil War.
D.To provide faster and safer transportation than boats.
2.Which of the following is closest in meaning to “deflected” in the second paragraph?
A.blocked B.developed
C. deserved D.indicated
3.Which of the following is TRUE about the Brooklyn Bridge?
A.It was built in 1865.
B.It is shorter than originally planned.
C.It was first proposed after the Civil War.
D.It was built by the New York Bridge Company.
4.According to the passage, which of the following correctly describes John Augustus Roebling?
A.He participated in the Civil War and was seriously wounded.
B.He was the first person to propose the construction of the bridge.
C.He was chosen to design the bridge because of his aggressive views.
D.He moved to America because he was discriminated against in his home country.

阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
A young lady was standing on the corner with a map in her hand. She looked puzzled. Several people passed by, looked at her but did not stop. I wondered why. Maybe it was because of the way she was dressed. She wore a dirty dress and looked pale.
As I crossed the street and came closer to her I asked if she wanted help. She thanked me and smiled in relief. As it turned out she was looking for the hospital. I felt wonderful just reaching out, and taking that extra moment to help.
Many times in these situations I end up walking a person to where he or she is going when giving directions would be too complicated. I like helping people this way due to my own experience. Many years ago, we travelled in Japan and needed directions. A kind Japanese who saw our problem came to us and helped us out. This man just took my heavy bags and guided us to where we needed to be. We could not speak any Japanese while the man could not speak any English. Although we could not communicate through words, we communicated through the heart.
Sometimes when I do a special favor for a stranger, the person will say, “I hope I can do something for you one day to return the favor.” They already have done something for me by giving me the opportunity to help them. But I hope that when they come across a situation where someone needs their help, they will be willing to reach out as well.
1.Why didn’t those passers-by give a helping hand to the young lady?
(No more than 10 words)
_____________________________________________________________________________
2.What was the young lady’s problem?(No more than 10 words)
_____________________________________________________________________________

For some reason Dodger did not want to enter London during daylight, so it was nearly eleven o'clock at night when they got near the centre. Oliver had never seen a dirtier or more miserable place. The streets in this district were narrow and muddy, and there were terrible smells everywhere. Children wandered around even at this time of night, in and out of the many shops, playing and screaming. The pubs were full of people fighting, and big, evil-looking men stood in the doorways or at dark corners. Oliver almost wanted to run away, but just then Dodger pushed open a door and pulled Oliver into a dark hall.
“Who's there?” a voice cried out.
“It's me,” said Dodger. The faint light of a candle appeared in the hall.
“Who's the other one?”
“A new friend.”
They went up some dark and broken stairs. Oliver could hardly see where he was going, but Dodger seemed to know the way, and helped Oliver up. They entered a room with walls that were black with age and dirt. In front of the fire was a table with a candle stuck into a bottle of beer, and an old man, with a horribly ugly face and red hair, stood next to the fire cooking. He was wearing a dirty old coat and seemed to divide his attention between his cooking and a number of silk handkerchiefs, which were hanging near the fire. There were several rough beds in the room. Four or five boys, about the same age as Dodger, sat round the table, smoking and drinking like middle-aged men. They all looked up when Dodger and Oliver entered.
“This is him, Fagin,” Dodger said to the old man. “My friend Oliver Twist.”
Fagin smiled and shook Oliver's hand. Then all the young gentlemen came up to him and shook both his hands very hard, especially the hand which held his few possessions. One of the boys was particularly kind. He even put his hands in Oliver's pockets so that Oliver would not have to empty them himself when he went to bed. The boys would probably have been even more helpful, but Fagin hit them on their heads and shoulders until they left Oliver alone.
“We're very glad to see you, Oliver,” said Fagin. “I see you're staring at the handkerchiefs, my dear. Aren't there a lot? We've just taken them all out to wash them, that's all! Ha! Ha! Ha!”
This seemed to be a joke, as the old gentleman and all his young friends gave loud shouts of laughter. Then supper began. Oliver ate his share of the food and was then given a glass of gin-and-water. Fagin told him to drink it fast. Immediately afterwards, Oliver felt himself lifted onto one of the beds and he sank into a deep sleep.
1.Why did all the young gentlemen come up to Oliver and shake his hands very hard?
A. Because they were of the same age.
B. Because they liked Oliver at the first sight.
C. Because they were required to do so.
D. Because they wanted to steal something from Oliver.
2.Why did Dodger enter London late at night?
A. Because Dodger was too weak to walk until.
B. Because Dodger was afraid of being seen by others.
C. Because Dodger and Oliver wanted to play in the countryside.
D. Because Dodger was afraid of Fagin and did not want to go home.
3.According to the passage, we can infer from the passage that _____.
A. Oliver was killed by a glass of gin-and-water
B. all of them are thieves except Oliver
C. most boys felt pity for Oliver
D. most boys wanted to make friends with Oliver

An elderly couple lived far away from their children. They noticed that they were beginning to forget many little things around the house. They were afraid that this could be perilous, as one of them might forget to turn off the stove(火炉)and thus cause a fire. They were so worried that they decided to see their doctor to get some help. Their doctor told them that it was unnecessary to take medicine and that many people of their age found it useful to write themselves little notes as reminders. The elderly couple thought this wonderful, and left the doctor’s office very pleased with the advice.
When they got home, the wife said, “Dear, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream? And why don’t you write that down so you won’t forget?”
“Don’t be silly,” said the husband. “I can remember a dish of ice cream!”
“Well,” said the wife, “I’d also like some strawberries on it. You should write that down, because I know you’ll forget.”
“Come on, my memory’s not that bad,” replied the husband. “A dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can remember that!”
And with that, the husband shut the kitchen door behind him. The wife could hear him getting out pots and pans, and making some noise, preparing the dish. He came out of the kitchen about 15 minutes later.
Walking over to his wife, he presented her with a plate of fried eggs. The wife took a look at the plate, glanced up at her husband and said, “Hey, where’s the toast?”
