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.

36. A. in          B. at                   C. by                 D. on

37. A. write        B. study                C. tell               D. remember

38. A. strange      B. similar              C. separate           D. special

39. A. But         B. Before                C. Since             D. Until

40. A. look at       B. work                 C. stay              D. wail

【答案】

36.A  37.B  38.D  39.A 40.C  41.A  42.D  43.C  44.B

45.C  46.C  47.D  48.C  49.A  50.B  51.D  52.A  53.B  54.D  55.B

【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。

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36   he thought he was able to be so much more    37   than the average person.

He    38   that it all came from a(n)   39   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in,    41   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42   you have made! I have    43   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44  . Would you like to get down and    45   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46   everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47   experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48   hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50  !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52   for learning something new, which is,    53  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54  ," we usually learn something    55   from it.

When I began my high school years, I was quite interested in biology. I read lots of books of my father’s about animals, and I was   36   much educated about such matters as a 16-year-old could be.

    One Sunday afternoon, I was   37  with friends about animals. I said the whale(鲸鱼)was   __38  a mammal animal. They disagreed. Finally, I called a   39   over to help settle the matter. I knew I was  40  , so I was looking forward to the teacher  41   I was right. My friends were eager for an opposite answer. We asked her   42  the whale was a mammal. “No, the whale is a fish,” she said without a moment’s   43  .

You could have knocked me over with a feather. My   44   was hurt because I lost the argument, but that wasn’t the main reason I was too  45  to speak. I still knew I was right, which   __46  the teacher was wrong. Not only was she wrong,   47   she was completely ignorant(无知的) about something I thought was   48   knowledge. But she was a teacher who had taught a long time. Everyone   49   her and no one else thought she could be wrong.

__50  that, I hadn’t known grown-ups could be wrong. This   51  shaped the way I viewed people as I grew up.   52   I found anyone treated another person with too much respect and admiration, I thought——and still think——“   53   silly.” From that point on, I had no  54__ for authority(权威).
