30、eading2-4 When Mayblum felt a devastating rumble on that September morning, he glanced at the drawstrings. They were careening wildly, three feet in either direction. Mayblum would be one of thousands cast into an extraordinary purgatory that morning. While as many as 25,000 would find their way to
31、safety, 5,000 would not. For some, it was a matter of geography not just which tower they worked in or on which floor, but in which corner of the building.Detailed reading234Detailed reading5-7 For some, the choices were as basic as which staircase to use. Others faced the ultimate moral dilemma: Sa
32、ve yourself, or save another. The confusion inside Adam Mayblums office at May Davis, a financial services firm, lasted just seconds. He knew he needed to get out. He ripped his T-shirt into pieces, soaked the pieces in water and gave them to colleagues to cover their faces. Among them: Harry Ramos,
33、 head trader at May Davis. Mayblum had worked with Ramos off and on for 14 years.Detailed reading567Detailed reading8-9 Sparks bit at Mayblums ankles as he raced for the stairs.

On the 53rd floor, he came across a heavyset man whose legs just wouldnt move anymore. “Do you want to come, or do you want us to send help?” Maybl
36、um shouted. The man asked him to send help. Adam said he would. In the noise, smoke and sparks, Mayblum didnt realize that his friend Hong Zhu was behind him in the stairwell the whole time. When Hong got to the 53rd floor, he came across Harry Ramos. Ramos had stooped to help the heavyset man Maybl
37、um had seen earlier. “Ill give you a hand,” Hong said.Detailed reading10111213Detailed reading14-18 Together, Ramos and Hong helped the man down one more flight to an elevator. “Dont take it,” a Port Authority official screamed. Hong and Ramos tried to send a magazine down in the elevator to test it
38、s safety. But when they pressed the “down” button, the doors wouldnt close. So Hong decided that he would be the guinea pig instead. He stepped inside, and the doors shut behind him. Hong took the elevator down to the 44th floor, the next transfer lobby. So far, so good. He pressed “52,” went back u

Hong and Ramos tried to persuade him to continue. “You dont have to move your legs!” Hong shouted. “Just move your butt. Lets go!” But the man couldnt go on. A fireman ran up to them. Hon
42、g expected that he would join in to get the heavy man to move. Instead, the fireman turned to Hong. “Who are you, screaming at him to get out?” the fireman shouted. “You get out!”Detailed reading24252627Detailed reading28-31 Hong looked at Ramos, who was still standing with the heavyset man. “Im com
43、ing down with you,” Ramos told the man. “Im not going to leave.” “I left,” Hong says sorrowfully. “Alone.” The next day, Adam Mayblum sent an e-mail describing his experience to friends and relatives, who sent it to still others. The e-mail was read by someone in San Francisco who knew a woman in Ne

Her husband, Victor, a heavyset man, was missing.Detailed reading28293031Detailed reading32-33 On Saturday, September 15, May Daviss chairman had a gathering at his New Jersey home. Adam Mayblum was there. So was Hong Zhu. Rebecca was also there, learning how her husband, Victo
45、r, had been comforted in his last moments, how Harry Ramos had refused to leave him behind. Ramoss wife, Micky, was there too.

50、 5?Detailed reading1-Quesion 5These sentences are used to emphasize the fact that the people in the building were in great danger and whether they would survive depended very much on where they happened to be when the building was struck and which staircase they would use to get out.Detailed reading

Lead-in questionsText IIMemorable quotesRethinking SkyscrapersJerkily Watson Most of the worlds tall buildings, called skyscrapers, are in the United States. However, the recent terrorist attacks have caused some Amer
240、icans to worry about the safety of these extremely tall buildings. For almost 30 years, the World Trade Center stood more than 410 meters above New York Citys financial center. The two towers of the Center were the tallest buildings in the city. They had more than 100 levels. Then on the morning of
241、September 11th, two hijacked airplanes struck the buildings.Text1Text IIMemorable quotes12Text2Text IIMemorable quotes Many people died immediately in explosions and fires. Others ran down many levels of steps in an effort to escape the buildings. Others waited for help in their offices. Then, one a

It also wrecked or damaged surrounding buildings.3Text3Text IIMemorable quotes Engineers from the state of Illinois soon will investigate the collapse of the buildings for the Federal Emergency Management Agenc
243、y. Their early study, however, shows that the buildings held up well. One tower remained standing for about forty-seven minutes after the plane hit it. The other tower stayed up for about one hour and forty minutes after it was struck. The fact that the towers stayed up as long as they did permitted
244、 many people to escape.4Text4Text IIMemorable quotes Several experts have said no building could have resisted the attacks. The terrorists meant to cause the largest explosions and the hottest fires possible. So they hijacked planes heavily loaded with fuel. The heat from the burning fuel weakened t
245、he steel structure of the towers. These fires burned far hotter than fires used to test building materials. They also burned longer. The intense heat caused the upper levels of the buildings to fall. Then the lower levels also fell.5Text5Text IIMemorable quotes Some pieces of building wreckage cause
246、d destruction in the area. Mainly, however, the towers imploded and fell down in their own space. Several engineers praised the World Trade Center for this. Many more people would have died if the buildings had fallen to the side. Officials say the wreckage will take months to clear. After the attac

For example, for

However, some city planners believe such extremely tall structures should not be replaced. Instead, some experts advise copying other New York buildings that are not

These experts say some buildings use their lower levels mainly to get people to the upper levels. Some experts also believe the office n

258、in an emergency. Skyscrapers were invented in the United States. As early as the 1880s, two new technical developments made these taller buildings possible. One development was the mechanical elevator. It meant that people would not have to climb many steps to reach the upper floors of tall building
