    A. All B. Many C. Both D. Some Section C (12%) 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?". Reasons were provided 48 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 (30%) Directions: Read the following three passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage A They say a cat has nine lives, and I think that possible since I am now living my third life and I’m not even a cat. My father died when I was 15, and we had a hard struggle to make a living. And my mother, who was seriously ill in her last years, died while still in her 60s. My sister married soon after, and I followed her example within the year. This was when I began to enjoy my first life. I was very happy, in excellent health. I had a good job in San Jose and a beautiful home up the peninsula in San Carlos. Life was a pleasant dream. Then the dream ended. I became afflicted with a slowly progressive disease of the motor nerves, affecting first my right arm and leg, and then my other side. Thus began my second life...[ In spite of my disease I still drove to and from work each day, with the aid of special equipment installed in my car. And I managed to keep my health and optimism , to a degree, because of 14 steps. Crazy? Not at all. Our home was an affair with 14 steps leading up from the garage to the kitchen door. Those steps were a standard measure of life. They were my yardstick, my challenge to continue living. I felt that if the day arrived when I was unable to lift one foot up one step and then drag the other painfully after it ---repeating the process 14 times, I would be through---I could then admit defeat and lie down and die. Then on a dark night in August, 1971, I began my third life. It was raining when I started home that night; strong winds and slashing rain beat down on the car as I drove slowly down one of the less-traveled roads. Suddenly the steering wheel jerked . In the same instant I heard the bang of a blowout. It was impossible for me to change that tire! Utterly impossible! I started the engine and thumped slowly along until I came to the dirt road, where I turned in and where I found lighted windows welcomed me to a house and pulled into the driveway and honked the horn. The door opened and a little girl stood there. When she knew what happened to me, she went into the house and a moment later came out, followed by a man who called a cheerful greeting. I sat there comfortable and dry, and felt a bit sorry for the man and the little girl working so hard in the storm. About an hour later, the man’s voice was heard, “This is a bad night for car trouble, but you’re all set now. “Thanks, I said. “How much do I owe you? He shook his head, “Nothing. Cynthia told me you were a cripple. Glad to be of help. I know you’d do the same for me. There’s no charge, friend. I held out a five-dollar bill, “No! I like to pay my way. He made no effort to take it and the little girl stepped closer to the window and said quietly, “Grandpa can’t see it. 【查看更多】
