第6题
Early in November 1965, New York was blacked out by an electricity failure (停电). The Mayor promised that it would not happen again. Pessimists (悲观主义者) were certain that it would happen again within five years. In July 1977, there was a repeat performance which produced a serious disorder throughout the city. At that time the city was in one of its worst heat waves.
In 1965, there was little crime during the darkness, and fewer than a hundred people were arrested. In 1977, hundreds of stores were broken into and looted (劫掠). Nearly 4,000 people were arrested but far more disappeared into the darkness of the night. The number of policeman available was far from enough and some looters even carry guns.
Hospitals had to treat hundreds of people cut by glass from shop windows. Banks and most business remained closed the next day. The blackout started at 9:30 P.M., when lightning hit and knocked out supply cables. Many stores were thus caught by surprise. For twenty-four hours, New York realized how helpless it was without electricity.
According to the first paragraph, who were right: the authorities or the pessimists？
A．The authorities.
B．The pessimists.
C．Both.
D．Neither.

These proportions vary somewhat from one area of the nation to another. In all areas, however, families are the fastest-growing sector of the homeless population, and in the Northeast they are by far the largest sector already. In Massachusetts, three-fourths of the homeless now are families with children; in certain parts of Massachusetts—Attleboro and Northampton, for example—the proportion reaches 90 percent. Two thirds of the homeless children studied recently in Boston were less than five years old.
Of the estimated two to three million homeless people nationwide, about 500,000 are dependent children, according to Robert Hayes, counsel to the National Coalition for the homeless. Including their parents, at least 750,000 homeless people in America are family members.
What is to be made, then, of the supposition that the homeless are primarily the former residents of mental hospitals, persons who were carelessly released during the 1970s？ Many of them are, to be sure. Among the older men and women in the streets and shelters, as many as one-third (some believe as many as one-half) may be chronically disturbed, and a number of these people left mental hospitals during the 1970s. But in a city like New York, where nearly half the homeless are small children with an average of six, to operate on the basis of such a supposition makes no sense. Their parents, with an average age of twenty-seven, are not likely to have been hospitalized in the 1970s, either.
According to the statistics, among the homeless in New York there were ______.
A．more people in a families than single persons
B．about six thousand families
C．3 children in a family
D．more families with two parents than one

Passage Three
People enjoy talking about "firsts." They like to remember their first love or their first car. But not all firsts
are happy ones. Few people enjoy recalling the firsts that are bad.
One of history's bad but important firsts was the first car accident. Autos were still young when it happened. The crash took place in New York City. The year was 1896. The month was May. A man from Massachusetts was visiting the city in his new car. At the time, bicycle riders were still trying to get used to the new set of wheels on the road. No one is sure who was at fault. In any case, the bike and the car collided. The man on the bike was injured. The driver of the car had to stay in jail and wait for the hospital report on the bicycle rider. Luckily, the rider was not killed.
Three years later, another automobile first took place. The scene was again New York City, a real estate broker named Henry Bliss stepped off a streetcar. He was hit by a passing car. Once again, no one is sure just how it happened or whose fault it was. The driver of the car was put in jail. Poor Mr. Bliss became the first person to die in a car accident.
44. In each accident the driver was ______.
A. found guilty
B. set free
C. laughed at
D. put in jail for a while

Read the following paragraph and select the irrelevant sentence.
Physical gestures and body language have different meanings in different cultures, and misunderstanding these signals can sometimes be embarrassing.So we must learn how to tolerate.Although I had spent a lot of time among non-Americans, I had never realized what this could mean in practical terms.I had an experience that taught me well, however.Some years ago, I organized and accompanied a small group of visiting foreign students to New York for four days of sightseeing by bus.Because these students were rather young, and because New York was such an overwhelming city, I was constantly counting heads to be sure we hadn't lost anyone.In the USA , it is very common to count people or things by pointing the index finger and, of course, I used this method.One young man became extremely quiet and pensive, and I thought that perhaps he wasn't enjoying himself.When I asked him what the matter was, he replied, In my country, we count people with our eyes.We use our fingers to count pigs.
A.Physical gestures and body language have different meanings in different cultures, and misunderstanding these signals can sometimes be embarrassing
B.So we must learn how to tolerate
C.Although I had spent a lot of time among non-Americans, I had never realized what this could mean in practical terms

第10题
The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French sculptor named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same man who made the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Liberty, of course, means freedom, and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of U. S. independence from England. The statue was built in France, taken apart piece by piece, and then rebuilt inn the United States. It was opened for the public on October 28, 1886.
As you might expect, the statue is very big. Visitors can ride an elevator from the ground to the bottom of the statue. If they want to, they can then walk up the 168 steps to reach the head of the statue where they can look out and enjoy the beautiful sight of New York.
A good title for this passage is ______.
A．Famous Sights in the World
B．Liberty Island
C．The Statue of Liberty
D．A Gift from France
