The sight of such large stores would have been _41_ for our grandparents, who shopped in small neighborhood stores. These shopping areas reflect some major _42_ in American society.The construction of new supermarkets and shopping centers has been _43_ over the past forty years. Supermarkets continue to appear because they offer the _44_ a wider choice of products in one place anything from food to small _45_. Because of the large amount of goods sold, supermarkets can offer lower prices than small neighborhood stores can. The convenience and value of large stores and shopping areas have made them a basic part of the way Americans shop.With the rise of supermarkets and shopping centers, American society has had some changes. Many small neighborhood stores have _46_, driven out of business by the large stores. Now Americans use cars even more in order to get to and carry products from the shopping centers, which are _47_ farther from many homes. Another change is; Americans are now more isolated. In the neighborhood store, the owner knew about the _48_ and their families. People in the neighborhood could gather and talk there. Now Americans shop in huge spaces, where no one knows anyone else. So supermarkets have made shopping more _49_. It is clear that the number of supermarkets and large shopping areas is still increasing. The pattern of bigger is better will probably continue into the future.III.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime (一角钱) left. He was hungry so he decided to _50_ a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve（勇气）when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked _51_ so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I _52_ you?”“Nothing,” she replied. “My mother has taught me never to _53_ pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in the human race.Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled (被难住). They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists were called in to study her rare _54_. Dr Howard Kelly, now famous, was _55_ for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, he immediately rose from the chair and went down through the _56_ hall towards her room.Dressed in his doctors gown he went in to see her. He _57_ her at once. He went back to the consultation room, _58_ to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case. After a long struggle, the _59_ was won. Dr Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The _60_ was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was _61_ that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. _62_, she looked, and the note on the side of the bill _63_ her attention.

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 you have just read. (A)Its no secret that most busy American mothers use the TV set as a live-in babysitter. In some households the tube holds a childs attention for the odd half hour or two while mom works on dinner; in others it is the childs constant daytime panion. Is there any harm in this?Debate continues violently over the question, and at intervals research is published showing that TV reduces attention span (范围), makes children jumpy or leads them to violence. In todays cartoon, David Horsey makes fun of the claims of “childrens TV”, the special programming that supposedly uses entertainment to help youngsters to learn to read and take their first steps in the big, varied world outside their family. What do children really get from this programming?Horseys suspecting is that childrens programming chiefly turns kids into TV addicts, not into readers or happy mixers. The toddler (初学走路的孩子) in the cartoon, still at the age of pacifiers（橡皮奶嘴）and stuffed animals, is held spellbound (入迷) by the figure on the screen. What is the stimulating message of this creature specifically designed to fascinate small children? “Can you say TV?” The sooner the kid learns the word, the more effectively he can remind his mother to turn on the TV.A child hooked on TV is a viewer open to mercial messages, and there are plenty of those targeting children of all ages. Thus, at the very least, moms search for peace and quiet sets the stage for her childs transformation（变化）into an American consumer and, of course, soaks up time that could be used for other, perhaps more desirable, transformations.65. What does the underlined phrase “soaks up” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. takes inB. gets inC. sets upD. uses up66. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the influence on children brought by TV?A. Paying less attention to other messages.B. Being close to violence.C. Gaining practical knowledge.D. Forming consuming awareness.67. What information can we get from David Horseys cartoon?A. Childrens TV programs can teach children how to pronounce some words effectively.B. Little children are addicted to Childrens TV programs which are actually not instructional.C. American parents depend too much on TV to help educate their children.D. These childrens TV programs can make toddlers quiet and spare time for moms to work.68. Which word can best describe the writers tone to parents using TV to search for peace?A. Positive.B. Appreciated.C. Supportive.D. Concerned.（B）THYSSEN ELEVATORS is one of the leading elevators panies in the world with more than 120 branch panies around the globe. GUANGDONG THYSSEN ELEVATORS LTD.

Helping them enjoy science can be easy; theres no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your childrens curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that were finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?” After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?” This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours. Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, plete and creative answers.Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, dont jump in with “Thats right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it es to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying “Thats interesting.” or “Id never thought of it that way before.” or ing up with more questions or ideas.Never push a child to “Think”. It doesnt make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. Whats more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.Lastly, show; dont tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass (放大镜), and theyll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates (蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.72. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is _.A. to let them see the world aroundB. to share the childrens curiosityC. to explain diffic
