I don’t hate New York; there is really nothing there to hate and 37 very little to love. It is a city of indifference（冷漠）, and that’s the problem.I found I could only 38 indifference in return.A few days ago in Central Park I saw a man leaning on a litter can drinking a carton of orange juice, and when he finished he tossed the container not in the can but on the 39 . I don’t understand this, but there is a lot about New York I don’t understand. 40 I don’t understand why the city has no soul. Vienna almost chokes the citizens with care, Paris manages to inspire her own with a sense of their achievements; but New York’s key41 is that it doesn’t really care about anything.I recall, 42 , the New Year’s Eve when, after a dinner party, a friend of mine went down to the street to get a taxicab and the cab turned too 43 and hit him. His wife and I took him in the cab to Lenox Hill Hospital, and while we were trying to get emergency 44 for him, the cabdriver was 45 at us for the fare. Such things may happen in other large cities, and undoubtedly 46 , but they reflect a 47 of caring, a sickness in the 48 that I find difficult to forgive and impossible to 49 .And so I come to the botto m line. I don’t want to live in a city where a woman 50 for a lost dog and receives dozens of telephone calls from a variety of people saying they are abusing the animal and will continue to do so 51 she pays large sums of money; or in a city where I am 52 I must always have a $10 in my wallet for a possible robber because without that I will surely be attacked; or in a city where my mailman leaves a note in my box at Christmas 53 the size of the tip he expects. 54 , I want to get away from the indifference of New York. I want to care and it may sound 55 — be cared about.36. A. field B. subject C. issue D. question37. A. certainly B. exactly C. hopefully D. totally38. A. show B. offer C. give D. seek39.

A. sharply B. typically C. slowly D. correctly44. A. doctors B. ambulances C. treatment D. medicine45. A. smiling B. waving C. pointing D. screaming46. A. have B. will C. do D. had47. A. gesture B. lack C. desire D. shelter48. A. brain B. mind C. heart D. soul49. A. overcome B. ignore C. abandon D. forget50. A. begs B. apologizes C. advertises D. shops51.

If a driver makes any of these offences, the points will be recorded. When the driver gets a certain number of points, he will be forbidden to drive for a certain amount of time.What are the purposes of this system?This is a system designed to make road much safer. It can improve standards of driving and reduce the accident rates.Which traffic offences will result in Driving Offence points?Of course, not all traffic offences are covered by this system. Only those that have direct effect on roadWhat will happen if you have got up to 10 points?If you have got 10 points or above, but still less than 15 points, you will receive a warning letter from the Transport Department. This letter will tell your recode of driving Offence Points and remind you of the result of getting more points. It is hoped that this warning will change your driving behavior for the better.What will happen if you have got 15 points?If you have got 15 points or more within two years, a court will take away your driving license. The first time you are found guilty you will not be able to drive for three months, but if you are caught a second time you will not be able to drive for six months.56.

You will have to give up driving for 3 months.D. You will be defined as guilty.BYou might think that good-looking men have every advantage in life. But a new study suggests being handsome may not always work in a man’s favour– at least when it comes to his career.The research claims that attractive men are less likely to be given a job in a competitive workplace because they intimidate bosses.“It’s not always an advantage to be pretty,” says Marko Pitesa, an assista nt professor at the University of Maryland. “It can backfire if you are thought of as a threat.”Interestingly, in Pitesa’s study, it was male attractiveness in particular, rather than female beauty, that made the most difference.If the interviewer expected to work with the candidate as part of a team, then he preferred good-looking men.However, if the interviewer saw the candidate as a potential competitor, the interviewer discriminated in favor of unattractive men.In the first experiment, 241 adults were asked to evaluate fictional job candidates based on fake qualifications and experience, in an online setting.Men evaluated men and women evaluated women. Interviewers were primed to either think of the candidate as a future co-operator or competitor, and they were given a computer-generated headshot that was either attractive or unattractive.A second experiment involved 92 people in a lab. They were asked to evaluate future competitors or partners in a quiz game, based on credentials that included sample quiz answers, and they saw similar headshots.There was still a preference to cooperate with the attractive man and compete against the unattractive man.A final experiment used photographs of actual European business school students, vetted for attractiveness, and found the same pattern.The results suggest that interviewers were not blinded by beauty, and instead calculated which candidate would further their own career.“The way we explain it here, pretty men ju st seem more competent, so it is actually subjectively reasonable to discriminate for or against them.” Pitesa says.On a deeper level, she adds, the behavior remains unreasonable, since there’s no evidence that a real link exists between looks and competence.58. According to the first three paragraphs, why do attractive men sometimes have difficulty finding a job?A. They are considered as potential threats.B. They are considered as potential losers.C. They seem to be hard to cooperate with.D. They seem to be uncompetitive.59. According to the results of the three experiments, which of the following is true?A. Interviewees’ attractiveness blinds the interviewers.B. Interview ee s ‘attractiveness doesn’t play any role in interviews.C. Interviewees hold advantages when interviewers are picking their team members.D. Interviewers prefer unattractive people when they are expanding their teams.60. The passage focuses on ________.A. why attractive men are less competitiveB. why attractive women are more likely to land a jobC. how unreasonable prejudice towards appearance worksD. whether looks are related to competenceCTo err is human. To blame the other guy is even more human.Common sense is not all that common.Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?These three popular misquotes（误用的引语）are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature went like this, “ To err is human, to forgive is divine（神圣的）.” This saying mirrors an ideal: people should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite—find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity.Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.”And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary（推论）to that: if a good excuse is “good” even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?61. According to tile passage, which of following seems the most human?A. To search for truth.B. To achieve one’s ideal.C. To make fun of others’ mistakes.D. To criticize others for one’s own error.62. According to the author, what is a sign of a man’s maturity?A. Doing things his own way.B. Making as few mistakes as possible.C. Bearing responsibility for his mistakes.D. Thinking seriously about his wrongdoing.63. Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?A. A lawyer acts on fine judgments.B. A company’s next move follows a good plan.C. A student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather.D. A man tries to take charge of everything in a large company.64. What is the author’s opinion about a good excuse?A. Bitter truth is better than a good excuse.B. A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty.C. Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.D. Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy.65. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Truth or ExcuseB. A Mark of MaturityC. To Blame or to ForgiveD. A Mirror of Human NatureDKino, a poor fisherman, has just found a very large and valuable pearl（珍珠）and is going to the nearest town to sell it. He needs money urgently to get medical help for his baby who has just been stung（蜇刺）by a scorpion. Before Kino found the pearl, the only doctor available had refused to treat the baby because Kino could not afford to pay for the treatment.A town is a thing like a colonial animal. A town has a nervous system and a head and shoulders and feet. A town is a thing separate from all other towns, so that there are no two towns alike. And a town has a whole emotion. How news travels through a town is a mystery not easily to be solved. News seems to move faster than small boys can run to tell it, faster than women can call it over the fences.Before Kino and Juana and the other fishers had come to Kino’s brush house, the nerves of the town were pulsing and trembling with the news — Kino had found the Pearl of the World. Before panting（气喘吁吁) little boys could strangle out the words, their mothers knew it. The news swept on past the brush houses, and it washed in a breaking wave into the town of stone and plaster. It came to the priest walking in his garden, and it put a thoughtful look in his eyes and a memory of certain repairs necessary to the church. He wondered what the pearl would be worth. And he wondered whether he had baptized（施洗礼）Kino’s baby, or married him for that matter. The news came to the shopkeepers and they looked at men’s clothes that had not sold so well.The news came to the doctor where he sat with a woman whose illness was age, though neither she nor the doctor would admit it. And when it was made plain who Kino was, the doctor grew serious and judicious（明智的）at the same time. “He is a client of mine,” the doctor said. “I am treating his child for a scorpion sting.” And the doctor’s eyes rolled up a little and he thought of Paris. He remembered the room he had lived in there as a great and luxurious place. The doctor looked past his aged patient and saw himself sitting in a restaurant in Paris and a waiter was just opening a bottle of wine.The news came early to the beggars in front of the church, and it made them giggle a little with pleasure, for they knew that there is no alms（救济品）giver in the world like a poor man who is suddenly lucky.Kino has found the Pearl of the World. In the town, in little offices, sat the men who bought pearls from the fishers. They waited in their chairs until the pearls came in, and then they quarreled and fought and shouted and threatened until they reached the lowest price the fisherman would stand. But there was a price below which they dared not go, for it had happened that a fisherman in despair had given his pearls to the church. And when the buying was over, these buyers sat alone and their fingers played restlessly with the pearls, and they wished they owned the pearls. For there were not many buyers really —there was only one, and he kept these agents in separate offices to give a semblance（假象）of competition.All manner of people grew interested in Kino — people with things to sell and people with favors to ask. Kino had found the Pearl of the World. The value of pearl mixed with value of men. Every man suddenly became related to Kino’s pearl, and Kino’s pearl went into the dreams, the speculations, the plans, the futures, the wishes, th e needs, the hungers, of everyone, and only one person stood in the way and that was Kino, so that he became curiously every man’s enemy. The news stirred up something extremely black and evil in the town.66. Why did the shopkeepers look at the men’s clot hes？A. The men’s clothes didn’t sell well.B. There were lots of men’s clothes in store.C. They were very concerned about their business.D. They regarded Kino as a potential buyer of the clothes.67. The doctor wouldn’t admit the woman’s il lness was age because .A. the women pretended to be ill.B. the women had been ill for ages.C. the doctor was interested in his fees.D. the doctor was certain to cure her of her disease.68. Who do the people “with favors to ask” in the last paragraph probably include?A. The priest and the doctor.B. The shopkeepers and the doctor.C. The beggars in front of the church.D. The agents of the buyers of pearls.69. Why did the doctor think of Paris?A. The news reminded him of his past experience in Paris.B. He was aware of what treating Kino’s baby meant for him.C. The woman patient could be sent to Paris for better treatment.D. He imagined what life would have been if he had found the pearl.70. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The pearlB. A lucky fishermanC. A greedy townD. Breaking news第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最适当的单词。
