In recent years, Detroit has transformed from a heap of abandoned sites to a fashionable city that boasts trendy galleries, hotels, and bike shops. There's a hockey and basketball arena (竞技场) downtown and three new parks that will help extend the riverfront trail. Plus, getting to all of Detroit's hotspots is easy thanks to the QLine streetcar.
Canberra, Australia
There's a lot happening in Canberra this year. For the first time ever, the capital city will host a cricket (板球) Test match between Australia and Sri Lanka at the Manuka Oval. Outside of this event, the city is full of national landmarks, as well as plenty of memorable cultural and cooking experiences.
Hamburg, Germany
Hamburg's new 789 million euro concert hall is the very reason to visit this northern German city in 2019. The hall took years to complete, but its striking glass walls and contrasting brick bottom are a sight to view. The hall is conveniently located in HafenCity
port area, which stretches along the Elbe River and is home to riverfront bars and busy nightlife.

[2019·江西联考] In its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, hors and carts got stuck. An old joke that was popular at the time went 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 hor 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 rai the city.
An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raid the level of the city's streets by as much as 12 feet.
This of cour 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 baments, and the cond stories into main floors, or hoist (
吊起) the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small woodframe buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like the Tremont Hotel, which was a sixstory brick building?
