13、murdered by four men who wanted to rob the supermarket manager he was protecting. Partolman Brown was 61 years old. In just six months he and his wife had planned to retire to Florida. Now there will be no retirement in the sun, and she is alone.Donald Brown was the second police officer to die sinc

14、e I became Police Commissioner of Boston in 1972. The first was Detective John Schroeder, shot in a pawnshop (当铺) robbery in November 1970. John Schroeder was the brother of Walter Schroeder, who was killed in a bank robbery in 1970. Their names are together on the honor roll in Police Headquarters.

15、At least two of these police officers were shot by a handgun, the kind almost anyone can buy nearly everywhere for a few dollars. Ownership of handguns has become so widespread that this weapon is no longer merely the instrument of crime；it is now a cause of violent crime. Of the 11 Boston police of

16、ficers killed since 1962, seven were killed with handguns；of the 18 wounded by guns since 1962, 17 were shot with handguns.Gun advocates are fond of saying that guns don't kill, people do. But guns do kill. Half of the people who commit suicide do so with handguns. Fifty-four percent of the murd

17、ers committed in 1972 were committed with handguns.No one can convince me, after returning from patrolman Brown's funeral, that we should allow people to own handguns. I know that many Americans feel deeply and honestly that they have a right to own and enjoy guns. I am asking that they give the

18、m up. I am not asking for registration or licensing, or the outlawing of cheap guns. I am saying that no private citizen, whatever his claim, should possess a handgun. Only police officers should. 56. The suggestion the author presents in the passage is that _.A. handguns are the cause of violent cr

21、eans to kill policemanD. explain means of people's possession of guns B We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, a

22、s a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “And Paul-why didnt pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, Its too late. Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their

23、real meaning. And if we dont really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “Youre a lucky dog.” thats being friendly. But “lucky dog”? Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he m

24、ay be saying is that they doesnt think you deserve your luck. “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for ” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrappe

25、d up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isnt important. Its telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you havent got a date for Saturday night. How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his w

26、ords fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture (姿态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.60. This passage is mainly about _.A. how to interpret what peopl

30、 My father's reaction to the bank building at 43rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York City was immediate and definite: "You won't catch me putting my money in there!" he declared. "Not in that glass box!" Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of

31、 the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture（建筑）is upsetting, but I am convinced that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money. In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity (实物) that could be carried

32、, or stolen. So, to attract the custom of a sensible man, a bank had to have heavy walls, barred windows, and bronze doors, to affirm the fact, however untrue, that money would be safe inside. If a building's design made it appear impenetrable(无法穿透的) the institution was necessarily reliable, and

33、 the meaning of the heavy wall as an architecture symbol dwelt in the popular attitude toward money. But that attitude toward money has of course changed. Excepting pocket money, cash of any kind is now rarely used；money as a tangible commodity has largely been replaced by credit. A deficit（赤字） econ

34、omy, accompanied by huge expansion, has led us to think of money as a product of the creative imagination. The banker no longer offers us a safe: he offers us a service - a service in which the most valuable element is the creativity necessary for the generation of greater wealth. It is in no way su

35、rprising, in view of this change in attitude, that we are watching the disappearance of the heavy-walled bank. Just as the older bank emphasized its strength, this bank by its architecture boasts(吹嘘) of its imaginative powers. From this point of view it is hard to say where architecture ends and hum

A. money is not as valuable as it might have been in the past B. the architectural style of the older bank is superior to that of the modern bank C. changes have taken place in both the appearance and the concept of banks D. pr

39、touched C. that is precious D. that can be reproduced 67. It can be inferred from the passage that the author's attitude towards the new trend in banking is _. A. cautiousB. positiveC. regretfulD. hostile D Each year, millions of people go abroad to work, study, or travel. It's a great way t

40、o find out what life is like in another part of the world! You're probably hoping to make new friends and learn about the culture in your host country everything from attitudes and beliefs to social customs and popular foods. But constantly having to deal with new situations can be frustrating,

41、even stressful. Homesickness, stress, fear, and confusion are all symptoms of "culture shock." At first, you may feel like getting on the plane and heading home. It's OK to have those feelings, but the following are some tips to help you handle the challenges that you will face. Don

42、9;t expect to be perfect. You may feel frustrated that you have culture shock, especially since you probably spent so much time preparing for your trip. No matter how much information you read, or how well you speak the host language, it is natural to feel overwhelmed sometimes. If you give yourself

43、 some time, things will gradually get easier. Have an open mind. While it's certainly OK to feel frustration or confusion in your new surroundings, try not to form an opinion about the new culture too soon. Don't think of the host culture as better or worse, just different - you'll be mo

49、nough energy sources to meet our future energy needs? These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that men might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source. For a long time people buried garbage or dumped

50、 it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. But garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas；but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, w

51、e might be able to use garbage as an energy source. Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to hea

52、t nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the citys garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil! But there are problems in using garbage as a fuel. Garbage t

53、hat burns easily, such as food scrapes and paper, must be separated from metals, glass, and other materials that do not burn easily. This separation process is normally costly.
