47．A．bright B．dark C．large D．small SECTION C Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context. From their beginnings New England towns had a special democratic system of government. At a stated time all the citizens would assemble at a town meeting, 48 they would discuss local problems and express opinions freely. They 49 elected the town’s officials at these gatherings and made decisions about the taxes they would pay and about other community matters. These meetings were usually 50 at the town hall, which was located in the central square. In the eighteenth-century town meetings, only men who owned property and who were church members actually voted, although 51 present was allowed to express their opinions. Later, 52 citizens were allowed to vote. Thus the town meeting became truly democratic. Town meetings are still common in New England communities. In recent years the town meeting idea has 53 widely copied. There are open sessions 54 this kind on radio and television. Occasionally a meeting of this type is called by a government agency in 55 to give an opportunity for free and open discussion on current problems and policies. 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 four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. A The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug? I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may! and she gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age? I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel! “No seriously, I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one! she told me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up. At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die! she said. “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years older. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men, she added. “The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets. She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Song of Rose . She challenged each of us to study the lyricsand live them out in our daily lives. At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. 【查看更多】
