When people talk about 21 (谈论) the cities of the United States, the first that comes to mind(进入脑海) is New York. New York is the largest city in the United States. That is, it has the largest population(人口), with 22 about 8 million people. It is also one of the most important cities 23 in the world.
New York is the business headquarters(商业总部) of the country as well as(以及) its leading industrial center(工业总中心). In the downtown section(商业区) of the city is Wall Street(华尔街) - where you find the world famous 24(世界著名的) New York Stock Exchange(纽约股票交易所). It is said that over 90 percent of the stocks bought and sold in the United States are handled(处理) in the Wall Street area.

Passage 2
It was a large house that stood among other identical(同样的) large houses in a tree-shaded square(树形广场). At first 21 (最初) I wondered if there could be some mistake(错误). But the address in the advertisement(广告) was clear enough, so I rang the doorbell(门铃). A colored maid(黑人女仆) answered it. When I said I was looking for 22(寻找) a room she nodded(点头) pleasantly, and led me up four flights of stairs(四阶楼梯).
The carpets(地毯) were thick and red, and wall decorations(墙壁装饰) were of a kind 23 (是一种) I had only seen in Hollywood films(好莱坞电影). I had a feeling that I was about to be shown a very expensive flat(公寓) and that 24 I should feel very foolish(愚蠢的) explaining that I was looking for something about ten times as cheap(便宜十倍). But she led me up a final narrow flight of stairs with no carpet 25 , and showed me a tiny(小的) room with a gas-fire(煤气炉), a single bed(单人床), an armchair(扶手椅) and a table. It was icy cold(冰窖一般的冷).

Passage 3
An old friend from abroad (来自国外的), whom I was expecting to 21 stay with me, telephoned from the airport to tell me he had arrived. I was still in the office at the time, but I had made arrangements for 22 his arrival. I told him where my new flat(公寓) was and explained that I had left the key under the door-mat(门垫). As I was likely(可能的) to be home rather late, I advised him to go into the kitchen and help himself to food and drink.
Two hours later 23 my friend telephoned me from the flat. At the moment, he said, he was listening to my new records after having had a wonderful meal. He had fried two eggs and helped himself to the cold chicken from the refrigerator(冰箱). He was now drinking a glass 24 of orange juice in the sitting room and hoped that I would join him. When I asked if he had any trouble 25 finding the place, he answered that he had not been able to find the key under the door-mat, but fortunately(幸运的) the living-room window by the apple tree was left open and he had climbed in. I listened to all this in astonishment(惊讶的). I knew there was
3
an apple tree in front of my neighbor's flat.

Passage 4
The dark clouds (乌云) in the sky meant one thing and one thing only 21: there was going to be a storm(暴风雨). None of us had brought an umbrella(雨伞) or even a raincoat(雨衣), so 22 when Jane suggested we go to a museum(博物馆) nearby we all agreed immediately(立即). As(由于) we had been shopping all morning and were feeling tired, it would be a pleasure to sit down. We arrived just as large drops of rain(雨滴) were beginning to fall 23 .
The museum was quite deserted(偏僻) and very peaceful. We sat 24 down in the main hall and listened to the rain beating against the windows. Suddenly there was a great noise at the entrance(入口). A large party of schoolboys was led 4
in by 25 a teacher. The boys were mad(疯狂的) with excitement(兴奋) and ran all over the place. The poor teacher tried to keep them quiet but no one listened to him. In the end the noise proved(证明) too much for us and we decided to leave. After all the boys had come for a visit and we were there simply to get out of the rain.

Passage 5
Last weekend (周末) I went to see 21 Tom. He is an old friend of mine and works in the town library. At the time he was busy making arrangements(安排) for a well-known(著名的) writer to give 22 a talk on modern literature(文学). As I was greatly interested in 23 the subject I gladly accepted Tom's invitation(邀请) to go with him. Tom was going to introduce the speaker that evening so we went to the library to meet him. Since the speaker had not arrived yet I left Tom
5
and entered(进入) the Reading Room where a large audience(观众、听众) was already gathered(聚集). I was disappointed(失望的) to find that there was not a single person that 24 I knew. Then I saw Tom waving to me(向我挥手) from the doorway(入口). I went over immediately as he looked worried. He told me that the guest speaker had missed the train(错过火车) and would not be able to come. Then he asked me suddenly whether I would mind(介意) acting 25 as the speaker. I hardly(几乎不) had time to think about it when Tom led me in(带我进入) and began to introduce me to the waiting audience.

Passage 6
Henry Ford was the first 21 person to build cars which were cheap, strong and fast. He was able 22 to sell millions of his cars because he mold-produced (模具生产) them. That is, he made a great many cars of exactly the same type.
6
Ford's father hoped that his son would become a farmer, but 23 the young man did not like the idea. He left home and went to Detroit (底特律) where he worked as a mechanic(汽修工). in 24 1892 when he was 29, he built his first car. In 1903 he started his great Motor Company. In five years the first mass-produced car(大批量生产汽车) in the world appeared. This car 25 proved to be so popular that it remained unchanged(保持不变) for almost twenty years.
Since Ford's time, mass-production methods have become common in industry(工业) and have greatly reduced the cost of production.

Passage 7
I always have a difficult time choosing birthday presents 21 . But strangely enough it did not take me long to decide on Tom's birthday present. For the first 7
time 22 in my life I had a good idea - I would buy him a bottle of champagne(香槟). Before his birthday 23 party began, Tom asked me to open the bottle. I put it between my knees(膝盖) and began 24 to pull. But it would not open however I tried. Soon a crowd(人群) gathered around to watch the fight(斗争)between the bottle and me. I could hear all sorts of helpful suggestions from the guests. But I was losing the battle(战斗). We were struggling on the floor together when all of a sudden(突然) there was a loud 'pop!' The cork(软木塞) shot up into the air and the angry bottle showered 25(淋浴、喷洒) everybody with champagne.

Passage 8
From Monday till Friday most 21 people are busy working or studying. But in the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax(放松) and enjoy themselves. Some stay at home watching TV programs or go out to the movies. Others would like to participate(参与) in sports. It depends on(取决于) individual interests(个人兴趣). There are many different ways to spend our spare time 22 . Not all the people like to work, but almost everybody likes to play. All over 23 the world, men and women, old and young, all enjoy sports. Since the days of long ago, adults(成年人) and children have called their friends together to spend hours or even days playing games.
Sports help people to live happily 24 . They help to keep people healthy(健康的) and feeling good. When they are playing games, people move a lot. This is good for 25 their health. Having fun with their friends makes them forget(遗忘) about their worries and feel happy. Many people enjoy sports by watching others play. In small towns families and friends often come together to play a baseball game or engage(参与) in a bicycle race. In big cities thousands of people buy tickets to watch basketball or football games in large stadiums(体育场) or gymnasiums(健身房).

Passage 9
One morning I had waited for fifteen minutes outside a telephone box 21. Inside a young lady was talking excitedly into the receiver(听筒). She was laughing and continually(持续的) moving around, spending a good deal of her time looking at me as I grew more and more 22 impatient(不耐烦的). Finally after she had finished her call I stepped angrily into the box(生气的走进电话亭). When I tried to put my coins(硬币) into the coin box they refused to go(拒绝接受). While I tried again there was a knocking at23 the door. I took no notice and again attempted(试图) to insert(投入) my coins. Still they refused to go, and again there was a knocking, even louder than before. I turned very angry 24 and opened the door, beside which stood a man. I told him to go away, but very calmly(平静的) he said that he had been sent to repair the box because a coin had got stuck in it(卡住了). I wondered(奇怪) how the young lady had been able to make 25 her call. 1) A:angry B:make C:more D:at E:box

Passage 10
George and Betty live in a small village near some hills. A stream (小溪) flowing hills to the sea goes through the village 21 . Last Saturday there was a bad storm in the hills. There was very heavy rain 22 during the night and the stream was flooded (泛滥). Water started to go into many of the houses.
George heard the rain. It woke him up(吵醒了他), so he looked out 23 of the window. It was not very dark because the moon was shining(发光). George saw the water. He woke his sister, Betty and said to her, \"You must wake up Mummy and Daddy. I'll go and wake up other people near our house.\"
George knocked on 24 the doors of many houses. He woke the people up. Then he went home. George, Betty and their parents went to stay in a friend's 11
house 25 . It was on high ground, so the water did not go into the house. On Monday, George and Betty returned to their own house. There was a lot of mud(泥巴) on the walls and floor, so they helped their parents to clean the house.

Passage 11
When I went to bed last 21 night, I fell asleep immediately. I must have been tired because I had been working so hard 22 for several hours. So I forgot to close the windows before getting into bed. If I had remembered, the thief(小偷) would not have got in23 . But he was given a perfect opportunity(绝佳的机会) to enter the house. The next time, I work late I will lock(上锁) the house carefully.
A policeman came to see me about 24 the theft(盗窃). \"I've been told to
12
investigate(调查),\" he said, \"so I want to ask you some questions.\" \"First, how did the thief get in?\" I told him that I had left the window open 25. \"You should be more careful, \"he said, \"If people looked after their houses properly(正确的), we wouldn't have much work to do.\"

Passage 12
The man in the room next to mine 21 is a very noisy(吵闹的) neighbor indeed(事实上). He often has large numbers of friends in for a meal . They talk at 22 the tops of their voices for hours on end. Sometimes I bang (猛撞) loudly on 23 my wall. This does no good whatever. They cannot ever hear me. Once I knocked at his door. I complained (抱怨) about the noise. \"Noise,\" he said, looking extremely puzzled(极度迷惑的), \"what's noise?\" I gave up after that. At night before turning in (就寝) he runs the water in his basin(浴盆、洗手池) for 24 at least half an hour. After
13
getting up in the morning he 25 closes his window noisily. Leaving the room he always bangs the door. No wonder(难怪) I usually look tired.

Passage 13
What must you do when you receive a present 21 for your birthday? You have to sit down and write a thank-you note(写一封感谢信). The words \"Thank you.\" are very important. We have to use them on so many occasions. We say them when someone gives us a drink, helps us to pick up things, hands us a letter, lends us a book or gives us a lift.
Another important word is \"please\". Many people forget to use it. It is rude 22 to ask someone to do something without saying \"please\". We have to use it when we ask for something, too. It may be a book or a pencil, more rice or more sauce
14
(调料), help or advice. It may be in the classroom, at 23 home, at the bus-stop or over the counter(柜台). We have to use \"please\" to make request(要求) pleasant.
We have to learn to say \"sorry\" too. And feel sorry, we will have to use the same 24 word. When we have forgotten something or broken a promise(不遵守诺言), we will have to explain with that word, too. \"Sorry\" is a healing (和解的) word. We can make people forget wrongs by using it sincerely(真诚的).
These three words are simple but 25 important. When we have hurt someone's feelings, we'll have to go up and say we're sorry. Our children will have to use them again. They are pleasing words(请求词) to use in any language.

Passage 14
15
What is exactly a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example 21, suppose(设想) a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say: \"I wish I could help you but I'm short of money(缺钱) myself.\" In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit (有…的习惯)of not paying his debts(付账) and you don't want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of 22 this. Is this really a lie? A scientific study(科学研究) of lying(撒谎) shows women are better liars than 23 men, particularly when telling a 'white lie'(善意的谎言), such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story(一部分情况). Other researches show that men are more 24 ikely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention(倾向) of fulfilling(兑现、实现). This is the kind of lie politicians(政治家) and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at(善于做…): the lie from which the liar hopes to profit(获益) or gain in(增长) some way.
Research has also been done 25 into the way people's behavior(行为) changes in a number of small, apparently(明显的) unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to(倾向于) move about in their chairs more than usual(往常). To the trained observer(受过训练的观察者) they are saying \"I wish I were somewhere else now.\"

Passage 15
In Mount Berry, Georgia(佐治亚州), people find a group of schools built specially for mountain children(山区孩子). The schools, as well as the mountain itself, are named after 21 Martha Berry, herself a daughter of a Georgian mountaineer(山民).
Martha Berry was born 22 in 1866. Luckier than most Georgian mountain children, she received an education. But she never forgot other children of the mountains whose 23 parents couldn't afford(付得起) to send them to school. In 1902 Martha Berry started a school for these children. It was housed in a single small log cabin(小木屋) and was attended by only five pupils. Now eighty years later there are a score of (20个)Berry Schools in the area, with a total of over 24 one thousand students and a waiting list of about five thousand.
17
Martha Berry in her later 25 years received many medals(奖章) and honors(荣誉) for what she had done for the poor mountain children of Georgia, and in 1931 she was named one of the twelve most important women in the United States. She never stopped working for the mountain children till her death(去世) in 1942.

Passage 16
Some people were eating and drinking 21 in a coffee house. A young woman was sitting alone at a table. She was wearing a beautiful diamond necklace (钻石项链). There was an ugly(丑陋的) man at a table not far from her. He was looking 22 at her necklace all the time.
Suddenly the lights went out(熄灭). The coffeehouse was in darkness(黑暗).
18
The woman started to shout(大喊). She was very frightened(害怕的). A few minutes later the lights came on 23 again. The woman was crying. Her necklace was missing(失踪的)!
The manager quickly closed all the doors. He telephoned the police. No one could get out of the coffee house. The policemen soon came. The police inspector(侦探) told his men to search everyone. The necklace was not on anyone. They then searched(搜查) the whole coffee house. The necklace couldn't be found.
The police inspector then looked at 24 the faces of all the people in the coffee house. He saw the ugly man and looked at the man carefully. He went up to the man and picked up the bowl of soup(一碗汤) that was on his table. He then poured(倒) the soup into a glass. The necklace fell out. The policemen caught hold of the man and took him away. The young woman was happy to get back 25 her necklace.

Passage 17
Have you ever felt your mind falling into disorder (混乱) after a sleepless(不眠的) night? You couldn't come up with 21 an original(新颖的) thought no matter(不论) how hard you tried.
You were probably right 22 if you thought that was caused(造成) by a lack of sleep(睡眠不足). Dr. Horne, a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students. One group got their normal()正常的 eight hours of sleep. The other group didn't get the smallest amount(量) of sleep---they stayed awake 23 all night. The next day, Dr. Horne tested the students. He asked them questions that required creative 24 and original thinking. One of the questions was \"How many uses can a cardboard box be put to ?\"
The result? The wide-awake(完全清醒的) students did well on the test. The tired students did poorly 25 . Research has already shown that tired people can do OK on tests of habitual thinking(习惯性思维), like simple addition(加法). But Dr. Horne tested creative thinking only.
As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as a reward(奖赏) to the
20
sleepy(困倦的) students if they did well. But even this encouragement wasn't enough to help the students conquer(克服) their tiredness(疲劳). They did poorly. Dr. Horne believes that the part of the brain where thinking takes place may get worn out(变的疲惫) during waking hours. Sleep may help to repair the brain. \"Without any sleep,\" he emphasized, \"even if you pay closer attention, you cannot do better.\"
This study gives people something to think about, especially people like hospital workers who must stay awake all night and then make quick decisions.

Passage 18
Few Americans remain (保持、维持) in one position(职务) or one place for 21 a lifetime. We move from town to city to suburb(郊区), from high school to college
21
in a different 22 state, from a job in one region(地区) to a better job elsewhere(其它地方), from the home where we raise our children to the home where we plan to live in retirement(退休). With each move we are orever 23 making new friends, who become part of our new life at that time.
For many of us summer is a special time for forming new friendships(结交新朋友). Today millions of Americans go on vacation abroad, and they go not only 24 to see new sights(景色) but also with the hope of meeting new people. No one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend, but the beginning of a friendship is possible.
The word friend can be applied 25 to a wide range of relationships to someone one has known for a few weeks in a new place, to a fellow worker, to a childhood playmate(玩伴), to a man or woman, to a trusted confidant (知已).

Passage 19
\"Body clocks\" (生物钟) are biological (生物的) methods(方式) of controlling(控制、管理) body activities. Every living 21 thing had one. In humans, a body clock controls normal periods(正常的时间段) of sleeping and waking. It controls the times when you are most likely to feel pain(疼痛). Eating, sleeping 22, and exercising at about the same time each day will help keep body activities normal. But changes in your life--a new job, for example—destroy(破坏) the balance (平衡) and thus(因此) cause health problems. You could have difficulty in sleeping, for example. Scientists suggest that early afternoon is the best time of day for 23 physical exercise. They say we are stronger and faster then. Later, about four o'clock, most people feel tired because of the drop(降低) of sugar level in the blood(血糖含量水平). Early afternoon also is a good time to do tasks involving(涉及到) memory and mathematics. If you must study, however, do it just before 24 going to sleep at night. Scientists say you are more likely to remember information when there is a short delay(推迟) between study and bed. Body clocks control all the activities from day to day. They also produce changes about 25 every ninety minutes during the day. At the end of such a time period, our ability to think hard begins to weaken(变弱). That is the time we are most likely to daydream(做白日梦). Within fifteen minutes, we are ready to go back to what were doing.

Passage 20
Australia is nearly 21 as large as(和…一样大) the United States, but most of it is too dry(干燥的) for people to live in. Around the edge(边缘) of this huge dry part are large sheep and cattle farms(羊群和牛群牧场). A few of them are as large as the smallest states(州) in America. Often the nearest 22 neighbors are many hundred miles away.
The two-way radio(双向无线电) is very important to people who live on these great Australian farms. It works much like a telephone. A person can listen to 23 someone else talk and give an answer.
When these radios first came into use(首次投入使用), the Australian government set up for them in some areas. At a certain time each day, the boys and girls turn on 24 their radios and listen to teachers in cities miles away. Families on the large farms wanted to give news to their neighbors. \"Round Robin (知更鸟)
24
Talks\" by radio were started to keep families in touch with each other(让家庭互相保持联系). They could talk about who was going away or who was sick or who was getting married. The men could talk about their sheep and cattle and how much money the markets would pay for 25 them. In many ways the radio became a newspaper for the farm people of Australia.

Passage 21
As you research(研究) music. You will find much that is familiar (熟悉) to you. You will find music which tells of interesting places and exciting 21 things to do. You will find music which expresses feelings that are often your own.
Music is an expression of the people. As you research, you will find music of people at work or 22 at play. You will find music expresses love of the country, love 25
of nature and 23 love of home. Music is also an expression of the composer (作曲家). The composer expresses his own music ideas, He studies the materials of music and discovers ways of using them. He looks 24 for new kinds of musical expression. Music can suggest actions and feelings which we all share(分享). We can enjoy playing and singing music, dancing and listening 25 to the music of the people and the composers of different times and places.

Passage 22
Joe liked hunting very much. Last month he came back from 26 Africa and said that he would not go hunting(打猎) any longer. He told me his experience as
26
follows (如下).
One morning I was walking in the forest(森林) and suddenly saw a lion hidden(隐藏) in the grass, less than three meters away. With a terrible roar (吼叫), he leaped (跳跃) toward me. I aimed my gun at 27 it and shot(射击). But I had no practice in shooting at moving objects(移动物体) at such 28 a short distance. I didn't hit(击中) him. Only by the grace (恩典) of God, the lion made such a long leap that he went flying over my head and landed five meters 29 away from me. Just then another hunter came running and the lion quickly ran away from me.
I returned to the camp and began to practice 30 shooting at moving objects at short distances. It was going well and I was anxious(急切的) to find some animal as my target(目标). What I saw later was much dreadful(可怕的) and made me decide to give up hunting. I looked up over the fence(栅栏, 篱笆; 围墙), and there at the edge of the forest was the same lion. The lion was practicing short jumps.

Passage 23
A layer(层) of air surrounds(包围) our earth completely(完全的). We call it the atmosphere(大气). Without the atmosphere, we shall not be able to live on 26 the earth. There will be no air for us to breathe. The earth will be very, very hot in the day and very, very cold during the night.
Air is all round 27 us. It is around us as we walk. When we sit down, it is around us. When we go to bed, air is also around us. We live in air.
All living things need air. Living things cannot live without air. We can go without food or water for a few days, but we cannot live for a few minutes without air. We breathe 28 in air. We need air in order to live. Do you know that fires, too, need 29 air in order to burn(燃烧)? If there is no air, you will not be able to make a fire(生火).
We know that air is around 30 us everywhere. We cannot see air but we can feet it. Simple experiments(简单的实验) will show that air occupies(占据) space and has weight(重量).

Passage 25
I have always been told that it is best 26 to buy American-made products, especially. However, I have come to 27 the conclusion that foreign cars are a better investment(投资) than American cars. For one thing(一方面…), the foreign cars get better 28 gas mileage(耗油量). The price of gas and oil is getting higher and higher. So any car owner must be concerned(关心) about how far this car will take him on a gallon(加仑) of gas. In this category(在这一方面) the foreign cars leave the American cars far behind 29. Another important advantage(优点) of the foreign cars is in their dependability. While parts(零件) and labor(人工费) for foreign car repairs are expensive, the facts show that foreign cars do not 30 require repair nearly as often as American cars.

\" 27 depends,\" answered the judge.

32
\"I am sorry, Judge,\" said the man. \"I made a mistake. I meant that my cow killed yours.\"
