　Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who inhabit them. City-dwellers are obliged by their environment to adopt a wholly unnatural way of life. They lose touch with the land and rhythm of nature. It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existence in a large city that you are barely conscious of the seasons. A few flowers in a public park (if you have the time to visit it) may remind you that it is spring or summer. A few leaves clinging to the pavement may remind you that it is autumn. Beyond that, what is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. All the simple, good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are at a premium. Tall buildings blot out the sun. Traffic fumes pollute the atmosphere.

Even the distinction between day and night is lost. The flow of traffic goes on unceasingly and the noise never stops.

72. Which is NOT one of the reasons why city life is not preferable?

　　 A The people are not in regular communication with the rhythm of nature.

　　 B The people can’t enjoy sunshine and fresh air.

　　 C Modern cities offer better schools, more chances of employment.

　　 D Traffic fumes pollute the air.

73. What are highly esteemed (have a high opinion of) in big cities?

　　 A Living conditions.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B Sunshine and fresh air.

　 　C Air-conditioned house.　　　　　　　　　　 D A few flowers and a few leaves.

74. It’s not easy to see such difference between day and night because _____.

　　 A city-dwellers are obliged to adopt a wholly unnatural way of life

　　 B the sun was hidden from view by tall buildings

　　 C the noise made by traffic never stops

　　 D large modern cities are too big to control

75. If you want to know what season it is, ______.

　　 A it is advisable for you to cling to the pavement

　　 B you’d better visit a public park

　　 C you can remind yourself that it is spring or summer

　　 D you should be barely conscious of the seasons

It was a beautiful day at the beach-blue sky, gentle wind, calm sea. I knew these things because a man sitting five feet from me was shouting them into his mobile phone, like a play-by –play announcer (实况解说员).

“IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY,” he shouted. “THE SKY IS BLUE, AND THERE’S A GENTLE WIND, AND THE WATER IS CALM, AND…”

Behind me, a woman, her mobile phone pressed to her ear was walking back and forth.

“She DIDN’T,” she was saying. “No. She DIDN’T. She DID? Really? Are you SERIOUS? She did NOT. She DID? No she…”

And so on. This woman had two children, who were playing in the sea. I found myself watching them, because the woman surely was not. A huge squid could have caught and snatched the children, and this woman would not have noticed. Or, if she had noticed, she’d have said, “Listen. I have to go, because a huge squid just……No! She didn’t ! She DID? No! She……”

And next to me, the play-by-play man would have said: “…AND A HUGE SQUID JUST ATE TWO CHILDREN, AND I’M GETTING A LITTLE SUNBURNED, AND …”

It used to be that the major trouble at the beach was the fellow who brought a boom box (便携式录音机) and turned it up so loud that the bass notes caused seagulls to explode. But at least you knew where these fellows were; you never know which beachgoers have mobile phones. You’ll settle next to what appears to be a sleeping sunbather, or even (you hope) a corpse , and you’ll lie happily on your towel, and you’ll get all the way to the second sentence of your 467-page book before you fall asleep to the hypnotic surge of the surf (催人入梦的潮声), and …

BREEP! BREEP! The corpse sits up, feels urgently for its mobile phone, and shouts “Hello! I’m at the beach! Yes! It’s nice! Very peaceful! What? She did? No, she didn’t! She DID? No, she…”

Loud mobile-phoners never seem to get urgent calls. Just once, I’d like to hear one of them say, “Hello? Yes, this is Dr. Johnson. Oh, Dr. Smith. You’ve opened the abdominal cavity (腹腔)? Good! Now the appendix should be right under the … What? No, that’s the liver. Don’t take THAT out, ha ha! Oh, you did? My God! OK, now listen carefully…”

65.　 From the passage we can know that the writer of the passage _____.

A had a wonderful holiday at the beach

In some magazines, tables of contents list articles in numerical order. The football article begins on page 5; the baseball article begins on page 7; the football story begins on page 13; and so on.

Other magazine table of contents are organized by subjects, by columns and by features(特写). Subjects are the topics covered in the articles. A feature is a specific kind of article, such as an article about sports or about cooking. “Feature” also has another meaning. A “regular feature” is something that appears in every issue, such as letters to the editor, movie reviews, sports statistics and other things. Some magazines also call regular features “departments”.

Columns are another kind of “regular feature” published in every issue. Columns are often written by the same person each time. A person who writes columns is called a columnist!

Most magazine tables of contents will also give you an idea of what a story is about. Look at the sample below.

One day when a Chinese language lesson was going on in a second grade class, a foreign educational delegation came into visit. A woman member asked the teacher whether she could play games with the children in class. Of course the teacher said “Yes”.

The guest produced a narrow-necked bottle with a hole on the side connected with plastic tube. Three small lead weights, each tied a piece of string, were lowered into the bottle to miners down in the pit.

When asked who would like to play the game, the children all raised their hands.

The visitor picked three girls from among them and told them. “Now I’ll begin to fill the water through the tube. You are required to pull your lead weights out of the bottle as quickly as possible so that it won’t get wet, otherwise it means that the miner gets drowned.”

The three children looked at each other, smiling, and the one named Li Xiaomei said to the other two, “You’ll be the first to get out, then you, and I’ll be the last.” When water began to flow quickly into the bottle, the three girls calmly pulled the lead weights out of the bottle one after another.

‘Wonderful! You’ve made it!” the visitors exclaimed.

58.　 Why did the children look at each other after the woman explained the game?

C They wanted to decide who would be the first to get out and the second, the last.

D None of them would be the first to get out.

　　　　 The sun was shining when I got on No. 151 bus. We passengers sat jammed together in heavy clothes. No one spoke. That’s one of the 36 rules. 37 we see the same faces every day, we prefer to 38 behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using those thin 39of newsprint to keep their distance.

　　　　 As the bus came near the Mile, a 40 suddenly rang out: “41 ! This is your driver speaking.” 42 . We looked at the back of the driver’s head. “Put your papers down. All of you.” The papers came down. “Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go 43 .”

　　　　 Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an older woman, her head wrapped 44 a red scarf. I saw her nearly every day. Our eyes met. We waited for the next 45 from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good morning, neighbor!”

　　　　 Our voices were 46 . For many of us, these were the 47 words we had spoken that day. But we said them together, like 48 , to the strangers beside us. We couldn’t help smiling . There was the feeling of relief, that we were not being 49 . But more, there was the sense of ice being 50 . “Good morning, neighbor.” It was not so 51 after all. Some of us repeated it, others shook hands, many laughed.

　　　　 The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t 52 to. Not a single newspaper went 53 . I heard laughter, a warm sound I had never heard before in 54 .

　　　　 When I reached my stop, I said goodbye to my seatmate, and then jumped off the bus. That day was 55 off better than most.
