Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the answer sheet.
Passage One
Early in November 1965, New York was blacked out by an electricity failure (停电). The Mayor promised that it would not happen again. Pessimists (悲观主义者) were certain that it would happen again within five years. 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 into and looted (劫掠). Nearly 4,000 people were arrested but far more disappeared into the darkness of the night. The number of policeman available was far from enough and some looters even carry guns.
Hospitals had to treat hundreds of people cut by glass from shop windows. Banks and most business remained 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. For twenty-four hours, New York realized how helpless it was without electricity.

A. The authorities.
B. The pessimists.
C. Both.
D. Neither.
ing while
their action says another? A facial expression, crossed arms or the way they behave can show what
is really in their mind. This is body language, and we must teach our children to understand and
use it.
We often teach children to be thoughtful when they speak and write, and we also need to teach
them to be thoughtful in their body language. Giving examples is one of the ways to do that. Help
children understand that people use body language most of the time in their life. Where they're
looking when they speak, how they turn their bodies, how they place their arms and so on can give
others important information.
There will be times that people want and need to use their body language. In school or job
situations, understanding body language can make a difference. And using body language in other
situations is also helpful to personal safety and sometimes stops misunderstandings(误会).

Dear Mr. Mills,
In reply to your letter of April 20, I would【21】to inform(通知) you that there are a【22】of beautiful summer cottages(小别墅) for sale here in Ocean City.
For example, we have a modern two-storey house that is【23】up to date. It is two blocks from the sea and you may find this a disadvantage(不利), but,【24】all, the opening of the summer【25】is only a few weeks from now, and finding a house【26】to the ocean than that is【27】out of the question. The house I'm speaking of has two bedrooms and a porch(门廊) that can be【28】for sleeping. For this reason, I consider it as a very good buy. The plumbing(给水管道) is out of order at the【29】, but this will be repaired, of course. The price is reasonable; as a matter of fact, it is less than is being asked for comparable(同等的) houses elsewhere in town.
As a rule, I【30】 to deal with people face to face in matters of this kind.【31】, I will be out of town next week, and I don't think you should delay in【32】 your decision about this house, since it is sure to be sold quickly. Under the circumstances (环境),【33】, I suggest that you come to see it as【34】 as possible. You can deal with one of my assistants in the office. I am sure you will find the house is【35】 what you expect.
Sincerely yours,
Jason Riggs, Manager
Ocean City Real Estate Company
