Before World War Ⅱ Chicago, Illinois, standing at the southern end of huge Lake Michigan, had the reputation(名声)of being one of the toughest, most lawless and corrupt(腐败的) cities in the world. It earned its ill reputation largely from those who sold strong wine during the days of 1919 to 1933, when a law forbade Americans to make or sell strong wine in any form.

Chicagoans have a great pride in their city. They say it is of great importance to the nation than New York. It is the center of American commerce(商业 ) and transportation.

Answer 1

答案：B;C;C;A
解析：

1、该题为细节判断题。根据文章第一段中Before World War Ⅱ Chicago, Illinois, standing at the southern end of huge Lake Michigan一句的描述，可以知道Chicago 为Illinois州的一个城市，在密歇根湖的南端，从而判断出其位置。 2、本文为推理判断题。根据文章中“Chicagoans have a great pride in their city. They say it is of great importance to the nation than New York. It is the center of American commerce(商业) and transportation. O’Hare Airport is the busiest airport in the world.”这段话的描述，可以推断出答案。 3、本题为推理判断题。根据文章中所描述的细节，特别是“O’Hare Airport is the busiest airport in the world.”这句话是关键句。 4、通过“It can send goods by barge (驳船), through water—way and canals, to the Mississippi and down it to the Gulf of Mexico.”这句话可以看出，从Chicago到Mexico的运行的路线是Chicago—Waterway—Canals—Mississippi—the Gulf of Mexico，那么从Mexico到Chicago的运行路线反过来就是了。
