15、s. In July 1977, there was a repeat performance which produced a serious disorder throughout the city. At that time the city was in one of its worst heat waves.In 1965, there was little crime during the darkness, and fewer than a hundred people were arrested. In 1977, hundreds of stores were broken
16、into and looted (劫掠). Nearly 4,000 people were arrested but far more disappeared into the darkness of the night.

17、mained closed the next day. The blackout started at 9:30 P.M., when lightning hit and knocked out supply cables. Many stores were thus caught by surprise.

21、the oldest of all the many colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin,
22、 Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers (大臣) or teachers.In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Late
23、r, lawyers could receive their training in Harvards law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history.As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students
24、were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities.

28、 pruned (修剪) when there is a good reason for doing so. Many gardeners believe that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape. The object may be to get a tree of the right h
29、eight, and to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus causing wounds. A tree may grow
30、 healthier by removing the branches that are locking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry (进入) for diseases, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing
31、 and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die. Pruning is usually clone in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without the interference from the leaves. 41 According to the article, which of the following statement is NOT true?（A）Pruning is necessary when there are
32、unwanted branches.（B） Damage is done to a tree if it is left to grow in its own way.（C） Diseased or dead branches should be cut away if they are found to rub against each other.（D）Growing side branches often prevent air from moving freely. 42 Which of the following usually causes a tree to grow unhe
33、althy?（A）Giving a tree a special shape and a definite height.（B） Removing small side branches and making a tree look less thick.（C） Allowing too many branches to grow in the middle.（D）Having a tree surrounded by many other trees. 43 The wounds result from pruning will do the following EXCEPT_.（A）dam
34、age the tree（B） heal itself（C） cause the disease（D）give the tree a desired shape 44 The writer suggests that pruning should be done in winter because_.（A）the cut surface can heal more quickly（B） open wounds on the tree run the less risk of getting diseased（C） a gardener can do pruning more easily（D）
35、the leaves can interfere 45 The writers purpose when writing this passage is_.（A）to describe how pruning a tree is done（B） to discuss different ways of pruning trees（C） to give practical instructions for pruning a tree（D）to explain how a tree wound gets diseased and heals 45 “Were more than halfway
36、(中途) now; its only two miles farther to the tavern (客栈) ,“ said the driver.“Im glad of that,“ answered the stranger, in a more sympathetic way. He meant to say more but the east wind blew clear down a mans throat if he tried to speak. The girls voice was quite attractive; however, later he spoke aga
37、in.“You dont feel the cold so much at twenty below zero in the Western country. There isnt such damp chill (潮冷 )“, he said, and then it seemed as if he had blamed the uncomplaining young driver. She had not even said that it was a bad day, and he began to be conscious of a warm hopefulness of spirit
38、, and sense of pleasant adventure under all the woolen scarves.“Youll have a cold drive going back,“ he said anxiously, and put up his hand for the twentieth time to see if his coat collar was as close to the back of his neck as possible.“I shall not have to go back!“ cried the girl, with eager plea
