摘要: A. put up with B. keep up with C. deal with D. do with Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using ONE word that best fits the context. When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked, "Why did she live to be 107?". 48 were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. Somewhat surprising was the fact 49 the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. 50 the city's image as an unhealthy place, yet city living often provides benefits that country living can lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity of those interviewed. This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than 51 wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have 52 elevators , and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. 53 parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no alternative to walking. On the other hand, those who live in the 54 and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere 55 , they must ride in cars. PART THREE: READING COMPREHENSION Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. A At dawn on Friday, May 19, 1780, farmers in New England stopped to wonder at the pink color of the sun. By noon the sky had darkened to midnight blackness, causing Americans, still in the painful struggle of a prolonged war of independence, to light candles and tremble at thoughts of the Last Judgment. As the birds quieted and no storm accompanied the darkness, men and women crowded into churches, where one minister commented that “The people were very attentive. John Greenleaf Whittier later wrote that “Men prayed, and women wept; all ears grew sharp . . . A recent study of researchers, led by Richard Guyette from the University of Missouri’s Tree Ring Laboratory, has shown that vast forest fires in the Algonquin Highlands of southern Ontario and elsewhere in Canada brought this event upon New England. The scientists have discovered “fire scars on the rings for that year, left when the heat of a wildfire has killed a part of a tree’s cambium . Evidence collected also points to a drought that year. An easterly wind and low barometric pressure helped force smoke into the upper atmosphere. “The record fits pretty close, says Guyette. “We had the right fuel, the drought. The conditions were all there. Lacking the ability to communicate quickly over long distances, Americans in 1780 remained in the dark about the event, which had disappeared by the next day. Over the next several months, the papers carried heated debates about what brought the darkness. Some were the voices of angry prediction, such as one Massachusetts farmer who wrote, “Oh! Backsliding New-England, attend now to the things which belong to your peace before they are forever hid from your eyes. Others gave different answers. One stated that a “flaming star had passed between the earth and the sun. Ash, argued another commentator. The debate, carried on throughout New England, where there were no scientific journals or academies yet, reflected an unfolding culture of scientific enquiry already sweeping the Western world, a revolution nearly as influential as the war for independence from the English. New Englanders would not soon forget that dark day; it lived on in folklore, poems, and sermons for generations.

  Everyone in the United States isn't fighting pollution. However, it is safe to say that nearly everyone is aware of the 1 it's had on the quality of the land, air and water of the country.

  On the national level, much 2 to deal with the pollution problem . New laws are 3 yearly by both the federal(联邦的) and state governments. These laws serve 4 to protect the forests, rivers and lakes of the United States or to 5 manufacturers (制造商) from further damaging the environment.

  Factories , for instance, are no longer 6 to dump(倾倒) chemicals into rivers and streams. 7 are they allowed to pollute the air with harmful smoke.

  But rather than tell you about factories and the government, I'd like to tell you what individual citizens in the United States can do to 8 the environment, even if only a small pert of it.

  One of the oldest anti-pollution sorts of laws on the United States is 9 littering(乱丢) . A citizen who 10 trash of any kind — paper wrappers or soft drink or beer cans, for instance, from a car window or onto the sidewalk can be fined. In California, for example, the fine might be 11 $ 500.

  If someone drops an ice-cream wrapper onto the sidewalk for example, there is a good chance either that he will be asked to pick it up or that he will get dirty 12 from others.

  The findings in the 1970s of the Surgeon General of the United States brought to everyone's 13 sort of 14 ; cigarette smoke. All cigarettes manufactured in the United States raw carry a 15 on the package about this sort of lung pollution.

  Also, it seems that newspapers report daily on the dangers of free floating smoke to the 16 of non-smokers. To fight this sort of pollution most restaurants in the United States have set NON-SMOKING 17 .

  Those who sit in a smoking section, however, are often asked to put out their cigarettes if the smoke 18 bothers nonsmokers.

  Government offices, public buildings, food and department stores, and public transportation vehicles all 19 smoking. Perhaps the outdoors is the only place where a in the United States can light up without guilt(内疚) and 20 polluting the lunge of others.

I would like to make a plan that will assist you in getting back on your feet and allow me to eventually have my extra room back for guests that will soon be arriving.’”

  -Diane Gottsman, owner of The Protocol School of Texas
