There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book 36 hand. Of course, we may 37 with our guide-books the history and 38 developments of a town and get to know them. 39 then, if we take out time and 40 in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we 41 it as a whole, we begin to have some 42 ,which even the best guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just 43 this, this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its streets 44 in this particular way, and not in any 45 why?
Here even the best guide-book 46 us. One can’t find in it the information about how a town has developed to the 47 appearance. It may not describe the original (最初的) 48 of a town. However, one may get some idea of what I 49 look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine 50 the town was first planned and built. Then one can learn more about in what direction the town 51 to develop.
What is the 52 of studying towns in the way? For me, it is 53 that one gets a greater depth of pleasure by visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes. A 54 visit to a town may help one better understand why it is attractive 55 just reading about it in a guide-book.

【解析】
36. guide-book in hand是独立主格结构,作状语,表示方式。
37. 了解一座城市的方式很多,其中之一就是环城徒步旅行,当然,我们还可以借助guide-book来研究(study)其历史和特有的(special)的发展并了解他们。我们不能借助导游手册来写(write)其历史,也不需要讲述(tell)和记忆(remember)其历史。
38. special是指这个城市所特有的。
39.上文讲我们可以借助导游手册研究其历史和发展,下文讲如果我们从容一点,在一个城市小住几天,则对其了解更多。此间有转折的意思。
40. 略
41. look at 在本题中有“考虑,判断”的意思,look at …as a whole意思是“从整体上看”。
42.下文有动词answer,此处是先行词,在定语从句中用answer的宾语,只有questions才能构成动宾关系。
43.介词like意思是“像”。
44. run在这里意思是“延伸;延续;继续”(stretch)。例如:The road runs along the river bank. 这条路沿着河边一直延伸。
45. in any other way以其它方式
46. fail在这里的意思是“使……失望”。从上下文看出,导游手册也不能回答以上这些问题。
47. present adj 现在的,当前的。
48. the original design of a town一座城市最初的设计。
49. what it used to look like 城市过去的样子,与上文the original design of a town相响应。
50.选项A是疑问代词,用在此处语法结构错误;选项C和D分别指这座城市首次建造的时间和地点,与上文the original design of a town和what it used to look like没有联系;选项B表示这座城市设计建造的方式。
51.与上句一致,意思是人们还能更多地了解这座城市未来继续发展方向。
52. point在本句的意思是“用途,目的”。Begin your work now. There’s no point in wasting time. 现在就开始你的工作吧,耗时间没用。
53. nearly几乎;generally一般地;hardly几乎不,都不符合题意。simply仅仅,只是。作者以这种方式去了解一座城市的原因很简单,仅仅是通过亲眼去看,去感受一个人就能更获得更大的快乐。
54. personal亲自的,亲身的,与上一句里的visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes意思相一致。
55.前面有比较级better,这里当然用介词than。
阅读下面短文,从短文后所给各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能填入相应空白处的最佳选项。
It was 4 o’clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n) 2 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”
Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 3 .
The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they 4 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (喷洒) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames 5 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.
6 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 7 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars (伤疤). So, he had to return to college with scars.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t 9 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 10 this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to 11 and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手术).
We all have “scars” that 13 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 14 standards(标准). Put your imperfections out of your 15 and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
