3.Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One’s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment. At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. Drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well. Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to “push back”, just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be .If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly looking person and say, “I am a stranger here. Can you help me?” Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.1.Many people who first visit the United States will find that _______.A、 America is a highly developed countryB、 American city people seem to be always in a rushC、 the fast pace in American life often causes much troubleD、 Americans are impatient and unfriendly people2.When the author says “You will miss smile”, he means ___________.A、 you will fail to notice that Americans are pleasant and happyB、 you will be puzzled why Americans do not smile at youC、 you will feel that Americans do not seem very friendlyD、 you will find that Americans don't have much sense of humor3.In the author’s opinion, ___________.A、 it is true that life in New York is much faster than that in any other cityB、 people living outside big cities are lazy and miserableC、 most American people enjoy living in the suburbs of big citiesD、 those who are busy are not necessarily unfriendly4.The life pace in cities is much ___________ than the one outside cities.A、 fasterB、 slowerC、 happierD、 sadder5.If you say to an American that you are a stranger there, most probably he will _________.A、 offer his helpB、 stop smiling at youC、 help you find the wayD、 reply that he is pleased to meet you

    请阅读短文,完成此题。
    I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we should preterto live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convincemyself that if it weren't for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go backto nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream?
    Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks,noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when youlive fifteen floors up. All you can see from your windows is sky, or other blocks of flats. Childrenbecome aggressive and nervous--cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothefeel islated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don't even say hello to each other.
    Country life, on the other hand, differs i~om this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among fiSends in a village, it is also true that you are from the exciting and important events that take place in cities. There's little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, anti for anythingslightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town. The city dweller who leaves for the country, is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.
    What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers ti'om the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses. But one of its tnain advantages is that you are at the centre of things; and that life doesn't come to an end at half past nine at night. Some people have found(or rather bought) a compromise between the two: they have expressed their preference for the"quiet life" by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind--they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.

    What does the last sentence of this passage mean?

    A.City people want to change country life.
    B.City people want to combine the advantages of city and village.
    C.Villages don't welcome city people.
    D.City people don't concern the feeling of villagers.

    答案:B
    解析:
    文章最后一句意为“他们被有关改善和改变的奇怪思想影响了,而这些思想是他们强加给村里不愿改变的原始居民的。”文章最后一段讲到,乡村生活和城市生活各有优点。有些人在乡下和城市间找到了折中的办法,也就是将两种优点结合起来,而将城市的优点带到乡下,对于村民来说是强加于他们身上的。
    故此句意味着市民想要将城市的优点和乡村的优点结合起来,B项符合。

    根据下面资料,回答
    Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
    In many countries, the main reason why people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby, where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so more people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
    In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city centre. It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city centre. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
    But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.
    In the United States many people work in the centre of a big city ______________.

    A.while living on the faraway edge of the city
    B.and live there
    C.but live in another city
    D.but live far away out of the city

    The City Planning

    In the first part of the 1900s,cities began to_______(53)zoning laws.Zoning laws say what kind of building can be put up in different parts of a city.A factory cannot be put up on land _______(54)for apartments.Apartments,_______(55),cannot be built on land for houses.
    Meanwhile,cities were growing rapidly and changing almost_______(56).They faced many problems.Sometimes the streets in a city caused traffic_______(57).Sometimes there were not enough schools or hospitals for all the people who needed them. As people moved_______(58)to new areas of the city,older parts of town often became run-down.
    At first,citizens_______(59)groups that tried to solve the problems a city faced.Today, most large cities have city planning board_______(60)part of their city government. On the board are city_______(61)who have special training. Many of them have college_______(62)in city planning. They must know how a city's land can be_______(63)used.They_______(64)new areas of the city and decide how to improve older_______(65).City planing boards help the city meet the needs of all the people who live there.

    _________(64)
    A:put out
    B:lay out
    C:give out
    D:hard out

    答案:B
    解析:
    come into being为固定搭配,意思是“形成、产生”,例如:When did the Great Britain come into being?英国是何时形成的?原文是“美丽城市”的理念应运而生,因此选C。
    根据上下文判断,随着美丽城市理念的诞生,人们开始意识到城市需要被规划。come有“开始”的意思。所以此处选C最合适,其他各项均不合题意。fail失败, incline 和tend都有“倾向于”的意思。
    根据词语的搭配可以知道,原文应该指的是“城市开始通过城市区划法”,三个选项中只有选项A最合适,pass有“通过”的意思,和law“法律”搭配使用正确。
    空缺处需要填的是过去分词引导的定语从句,省略了which be。这里指的是被划分出来建公寓的地区不能盖工厂,zone更合适,意思是“将……划为特殊区域”。
    however表示一种转折的关系。本句意思为“工厂不能建在用于盖公寓的土地上。然而,公窝也不能盖在建造大宅的土地上”。所以选项D符合。
    根据前半部分即城市在快速地发展,可以判断出城市的变化也是很迅速的,选项D正确,意为“突然,很快”,与前面的rapidly呼应。
    traffic jam意思是“交通堵塞”,较之选项B,选项A更符合常理,即城市里的街道会造成交通堵塞。
    本句提到了老地区变得破败不堪,人们应该是搬出旧城区,搬进新的城市地区,所以选择C,后面接的介词to指“搬到……”。
    只有form最适合和后面的group搭配使用。form意为“组成”,例如:The two parties formed a coalition.两个政党组成了联合政府。本句意思是“市民们组成了试图解决城市面临的问题的团体”。
    三个选项中只有as适合,意思是“作为”。句子意思是“大多数的大城市都有了作为城市政府一部分的城市规划委员会”。
    逻辑题。on the board意思是“委员会里”。前面提到大多数城市都有了 city planning board即“城市规划委员会”,那么委员会里必然有城市规划师,所以A正确。
    degree意思是“学历”,后面常接介词in指在某专业方面的学历,原句中还有信号词college,所以选项degree最合适。level水平,qualification资质,height高度。
    best这里是副词,意思是“最好地,最高标准地”,比较carefully (小心地), suitably(合适地)以及cleverly(聪明地),选项B更为合适。原句意思是“这些城市规划师必须知道如何才能以最好的方式使用城市里的土地”。
    lay out为固定搭配,意思是“规划,设计”。例如:When the local governments lay out the car parks, they must estimate the numbers of cars in these districts.当地方政府规划停车场时,他们必须先估计市区里的汽车数量。原文是“他们规划城市的新地区”。
    这里的意思是“他们……决定如何来提升一个老城区”。section除了有 “部分”的意思外还指“(城市等的)地区,(街区等的)地段”。square意为“广场”,division意为“部分”,centers意为“中心”。

    Practice 8  You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.  Write about the following topic:  Some people think people have benefited from modern communications technology, but other people think some people have not benefited at all. To what extent do you agree or disagree?  You should write at least 250 words.

    正确答案: 【参考范文】
    Daily communication tools make the distance between people shrink. There are various ways such as mobile phones, Facebook, Twitter and E-mail which changes our life from daily life to work style. As for the dramatic and rapid changes, people in all walks of life hold different opinions. Personally, it is a must to be tolerant of the new technological innovations.
    It is undeniable that all these high-tech tools can alienate the virtual interpersonal relationship that exists between people. If we want to tell somebody something, we do not have to really see him, and we can send a short message, a E-mail, or leave one on Facebook. Regardless of the convenience, face-to-face conversations are still one of the best ways to understand each other.
    High technologies provide us with more choices which can yield higher efficiency, which can be illustrated from three perspectives. Firstly, it is a useful time-saver for people greatly enjoy social life. Social network enable them to spare the trouble of heavy traffic in rush hours when they need to have contact with friends. Secondly, it is also a money-saver. Compared with the high cost of an official visit to someone or some place, chatting on-site or through telephone is much cheaper. If each company has an E-conference system, information sharing should never be a daydream in the era of information. Lastly, and most importantly, with the great help of new inventions, people may communicate with others without being limited to geographical difference. Namely, no matter where one stays, he or she can get in touch with people on the Internet at any time.
    In summary, modem technologies are excellent assistants of our life and work, so it is wise to accept them and make full use of them properly.

    _________(65)
    A:square
    B: division
    C:centers
    D:section

    答案:D
    解析:
    come into being为固定搭配,意思是“形成、产生”,例如:When did the Great Britain come into being?英国是何时形成的?原文是“美丽城市”的理念应运而生,因此选C。
    根据上下文判断,随着美丽城市理念的诞生,人们开始意识到城市需要被规划。come有“开始”的意思。所以此处选C最合适,其他各项均不合题意。fail失败, incline 和tend都有“倾向于”的意思。
    根据词语的搭配可以知道,原文应该指的是“城市开始通过城市区划法”,三个选项中只有选项A最合适,pass有“通过”的意思,和law“法律”搭配使用正确。
    空缺处需要填的是过去分词引导的定语从句,省略了which be。这里指的是被划分出来建公寓的地区不能盖工厂,zone更合适,意思是“将……划为特殊区域”。
    however表示一种转折的关系。本句意思为“工厂不能建在用于盖公寓的土地上。然而,公窝也不能盖在建造大宅的土地上”。所以选项D符合。
    根据前半部分即城市在快速地发展,可以判断出城市的变化也是很迅速的,选项D正确,意为“突然,很快”,与前面的rapidly呼应。
    traffic jam意思是“交通堵塞”,较之选项B,选项A更符合常理,即城市里的街道会造成交通堵塞。
    本句提到了老地区变得破败不堪,人们应该是搬出旧城区,搬进新的城市地区,所以选择C,后面接的介词to指“搬到……”。
    只有form最适合和后面的group搭配使用。form意为“组成”,例如:The two parties formed a coalition.两个政党组成了联合政府。本句意思是“市民们组成了试图解决城市面临的问题的团体”。
    三个选项中只有as适合,意思是“作为”。句子意思是“大多数的大城市都有了作为城市政府一部分的城市规划委员会”。
    逻辑题。on the board意思是“委员会里”。前面提到大多数城市都有了 city planning board即“城市规划委员会”,那么委员会里必然有城市规划师,所以A正确。
    degree意思是“学历”,后面常接介词in指在某专业方面的学历,原句中还有信号词college,所以选项degree最合适。level水平,qualification资质,height高度。
    best这里是副词,意思是“最好地,最高标准地”,比较carefully (小心地), suitably(合适地)以及cleverly(聪明地),选项B更为合适。原句意思是“这些城市规划师必须知道如何才能以最好的方式使用城市里的土地”。
    lay out为固定搭配,意思是“规划,设计”。例如:When the local governments lay out the car parks, they must estimate the numbers of cars in these districts.当地方政府规划停车场时,他们必须先估计市区里的汽车数量。原文是“他们规划城市的新地区”。
    这里的意思是“他们……决定如何来提升一个老城区”。section除了有 “部分”的意思外还指“(城市等的)地区,(街区等的)地段”。square意为“广场”,division意为“部分”,centers意为“中心”。

    正确答案: I visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art, an art museum ,last summer. It was founded in 1870 by a group of American citizens which included businessmen and financiers, as well as leading artists and thinkers of the day, because they wanted to set up a museum to bring art and art education to the American people. It is on the eastern edge of Central Park, along ‘Museum Mile’ in New York City, United States.  Its permanent collection contains more than two million works of art. The main building is one of the world’s largest art galleries which was often called ‘the Met’ which maintains extensive holdings of African, Asian, Oceanic, Byzantine, and Islamic art. For example, I came across an Islamic art exhibition when I was there. Besides, there is also a much smaller location, which features medieval art, at ‘The Cloisters’ in Upper Manhattan. Represented in the permanent collection are works of art from classical antiquity and Ancient Egypt, paintings and sculptures from nearly all the European masters.

    正确答案: I’d like to talk about a Spanish painter and sculptor Picasso. He is best known for the Cubist movement, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and worked in. I highly appreciate his works like the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d’Avignon and Guernica, a portrayal of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. I began to know him when I was in elementary school. At that time I liked paintings very much and I bought a collection of famous paintings. I saw Picasso’s painting Guernica and was greatly shocked by his talent and profundity. He’s different from other painters and his works are very surreal which leaves you space to imagine the theme of his work. From his painting I can view my life from a new perspective and that is why I appreciate him. He inspires me.

    正确答案: I saw a film last year which impressed me deeply. It is a comedy in which Miriam Yeung who is a famous movie star and singer from Hong Kong impressed most. She is frank and funny, always with a big smile on her face. Though she is not the most beautiful actress she is very charming and cute. She showed her comedic talents in Love Undercover, in which she played as a fledgling policewoman who investigates the drug dealings by disguising herself as a waitress. But finally she lost her heart to Mob, the son of the leader. She vividly portrayed that funny, even bold young policewoman in this film. I was touched by the scene that when her friends were in danger, she had no regard for her own safety. You know they were in a dangerous situation which somebody would shoot them with a gun. I admire her kind heart and this role is very successful.

He struggled and fought with these difficulties throughout his childhood. When he was 17 he started his own non-profit organisation Life without Limbs. He lives in Melbourne with his parents and can actually live an independent live. Although he’s in a terrible condition he’s the happiest person I’ve ever seen.

Moreover, he started establishing funds to help more people. My friends and I were so attracted to his charisma and optimistic attitude. We think he’s definitely happier than most of us because he has a grateful heart. His happiness is contagious and some of my friends even write him letters.
