the pockets of consumers, who worry about the world-wide recession (经济衰退).the high price of gasoline has greatly changed driving patterns, perhaps permanently. we are seeing changes in habits. says julian lee from the center for global energy studies in london. people now prefer to buy small cars instead of gas-consuming suvs. if we see this change it becomes a much longer term issue with long-term demand destruction.in the short term, theres simple math. the price slide could save drivers a great deal of money. however, because the u.s. is out of its peak summer driving season, theres not toe much of an encouragement to drive a lot more just because gas prices are down.oil demand in the u.s. has dropped 10% in the few weeks, continuing a year long trend. according to the u.s. department of transportation, americans drove 15 billion fewer miles in august, or 5.6% less than they did the year before. dot says its the largest ever year-to-year decline recorded in a single month.due to falling worldwide demand, oil price dropped to its lowest level in more than a year. for months leaders of oil-rich countries have watched nervously as world oil prices have been more than 50% lower than the all-time high in july.all of this spells disasters for opec. iran and venezuela have pushed fellow opec members to make big enough cuts in production to change the plunge in prices in vienna on thursday for opecs emergency meeting. opec countries method of fixing their combined out-put has for years hugely influenced world prices, since opecs 13 members account for about one-third of the world s total oil supplies.64. according to the passage, we got a rise this week because _. a. the consumers seldom use their cars at present b. well face financial problems in the recession c. the opec countries will buy us gasoline for cars d. well spend much less money on gasoline for ears65. in the writers opinion, the reason people prefer to small ears is that _. a. small ears are more beautiful than suvs b. suvs will cause much more air pollution c. small cars cost much less on gasoline than suvs d. suvs waste too much energy and pollute the air66. the following statements are all true except _. a. americans drove about 15 billion fewer miles this year b. oil demand in america has been dropping for one year c. dot stands for the u.s. department of transportation d. more ears are on the road in summer than in other seasons67. the underlined word plunge in the last paragraph most probably means _. a. the action of pulling up b. delaying or putting off c. sudden moving downward d. severe financial problem64d(解析：考查推理判断。读完本文，我们知道先前的高油价已经彻底地改变了人们的用车习 惯，越来越多的人选择耗油量小的汽车，行车里程也缩短了。这无疑减少了人们的花费，即使石油价格降低了，仍是如此。65c(解析：考查细节理解。第二段第三行“人们现在更喜欢购买小一点的汽车而不是耗油的汽车。”)66a(解析：选a。考查细节理解与判断。第四段第二句说美国居民在八月份行车比去年同时期少了150亿公里，而不是一年，所以a项不正确。)67，c(解析：考查词义推测。全文都讲到了石油价格的下跌，因此最后段中the plunge in price是指石油价格的下跌。) 扫荡狂练：完形填空夹叙夹议50.a native american and his friend were in downtown in new york city. they were1near times square in downtown in manhattan. it was during the lunch hour and

above my friends rooftops, i stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city people usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors, myself included!my friend had also seen it. he grew up living in a forest in europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. it had touched much of his life.i know the feeling. last december i took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern india with some friends. we stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water. our group had campfire outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. the moon grew to its fullest during our trip. between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. it was one of the quietest places i have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. and above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fibre-glass. we have televisions, cell phones, electricity, heaters and ovens, air-conditioners, cars, computers . struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, i thought: before long, i would like to live in a small cottage. there i will grog vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains and perhaps write, but not in anger. i may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. but i will be able to walk outside on a cool silent night and touch the moon.68. the

whale inside dark restaurant are led by a waiter with night-vision goggles (夜视镜). inside dark restaurant in beijing, a table of 30 diners was getting quarrelsome. i am touching your head ! said one,

of family-style dining, food is served on single-serving plates. when each dish arrives, the server guides your hand to the plate and offers helpful tips like this course is eaten
