Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)There are 101 excuses for not writing or calling the media when you see unfair, biased or inaccurate news coverage: “I dont know enough”; “Im too busy”; “My computer crashed.”（25）_(communicate) with journalists makes a difference. It does not have to be perfect; not all letters to journalists need to be for publication. Even（26）_ one-sentence, handwritten note to a reporter（27）_ be helpful. If you take the time to type a substantive letter, send copies of it to two or three places within the media outlet perhaps to the reporter, his or her editor, as well as to the letters-to-the-editor department.If media outlets get letters from a dozen people（28）_ (raise) the same issue, they will most likely publish one or two of them. So even if your letter（29）_ ( not get) into print, it may help another one with a similar point of view get published. Surveys of newspaper readers show that the letters page is among the most closely read parts of the paper. Its also the page policy-makers look to as a barometer of public opinion.（30）_ you write to journalists, be factual, not rhetorical (带修辞色彩的). Do not personally attack them; thats more likely to convince them that theyre in the right. Address them in the language that most journalists（31）_ (train) to understand. Call on them to be responsible, professional, balanced and inclusive of diverse sources and viewpoints.Letters（32）_ are intended for publication should usually be drafted more carefully.(B)Westminster Abbey, the gothic church, stands in the heart of modern London overlooking the River Thames and Houses of Parliament. It started as a small monastery(修道院), （33）_ (found) in the year 960 by King Edgar, but soon became one of the most important churches in the kingdom.King Edgar was the first monarch（34）_ (bury) there in 1065. In the mid 13th Century, King Henry III decided to rebuild it as a great gothic cathedral to rival（与. . . . . .相匹敌）（35）_ in France.All monarchs have been crowned there（36）_ William the Conqueror in 1066, and many monarchs have married in the Abbey, （37）_(recently) Prince William and Catherine Middleton.But Westminster Abbey isnt just about royalty. Many of the greatest people in British history are buried or commemorated thereartists, scientists, thinkersthere isnt even a “poets corner” built up（38）_ the grave of 14th-century poet Geoffrey Chaucer.Westminster Abbey tells the story of ordinary British people too. Parts of the Abbey were destroyed in booming raids（空袭）during World War II（39）_ services went on throughout the war. On May 8, 1945, the V-E(Victory in Europe)Day, a thanksgiving service was held there. Westminster Abbey stood for courage and British spirit.（40）_ _ you are not a Christian, it is impossible not to feel a sense of something otherworldly(超脱尘俗地) when you enter Westminster Abbeyand that goes for tourists, ordinary Londoners, or students getting ready for another Friday at school.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. magical B. cultural C. meets D. built E. strong F. damagedG. entrance H. views I. calendar J. ranked K. litA long red bridge stretches out across water. It runs across the Golden Gate. This is not the _41_ to some sacred land, but it is just as _42_. The Golden Gate is where San Francisco Bay _43_ the Pacific Ocean, and at night the scene of the bridge _44_ up over the water takes your breath away.Welcome to San Francisco, a place famous for its beautiful parks, hilly streets and lovely beaches. But the bridge is undoubtedly the most well-known symbol of the city. Before its completion in 1937, the bridge was considered impossible to build because of the foggy weather, powerful winds, and _45_ ocean currents in the city. However, despite the difficult conditions, the bridge was built in no more than four years. Its total length is nearly 2 kilometers.San Francisco _46_ first on Lonely Planets list of the best cities to visit in 2013. According to the worlds largest travel publisher, it came top as a result of its _47_ mix.According to the US 2010 census(人口普查), 21 percent of the citys population was made up of Chinese people. San Franciscos Chinatown is the largest outside of Asia and the oldest in North America. Two traditional festivals, the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, are the biggest events of the year on the citys _48_.If yellow cabs are a key part of New York city life, then the cable car is San Franciscos equivalent. The first cable car came into public service in 1873, and the slow and noisy vehicle has been a symbol of the city ever since. The cable car network was once _49_ by a serious earthquake but, luckily, it has now recovered and provides better _50_ than the subway.III.

It is undoubtedly a big _58_, especially in London, where lorries form about 5% of vehicle traffic _59_ are responsible for about half of all cyclist deaths, with a large _60_ of these involving construction lorries, often turning left into a cyclist. In 2011, of the 16 cyclist deaths in London, nine involved lorries, of which seven were construction vehicles.If elements of the London Cycling Campaigns design look familiar that is _61_ they are already in use many _62_ rubbish lorries already feature low-silled glass doors, allowing the drivers to look out for both staff _63_ bins and other pedestrians. This demonstrated how construction companies could change if they wanted to.A study _64_ last month by Transport for London said construction trucks were disproportionately（不成比率地）involved in cyclist accidents and recommended _65_ such as giving drivers delivering goods to building sites more realistic time slots to avoid them being tempted into recklessness.51.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)On October 24,1929 “Black Thursday”a wave of panic selling of stocks swept the New York Stock Exchange. The Great Depression began. By 1932, thousands of banks and businesses had failed. Industrial production was cut in half, farm income had fallen by more than half, wages had decreased 60 percent, new investment was down 90 percent and one out of every four workers was unemployed.The Republican president, Herbert Hoover was unable to take measures to deal with the economic collapse. So in the 1932 election, he was defeated by Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt, who promised “a New Deal for the American people”.Within the “Hundred Days”, Roosevelt rushed through Congress a number of laws to aid the recovery of the economy. The Civilian Conservation Corps put young men to work in reforestation and flood.The Federal Emergency Relief Administration aided state and local relief funds. The Agricultural Adjustment Administration paid farmers to reduce production, thus raising crop prices. The Tennessee Valley Authority built a network of dams in the Tennessee River area to generate electricity, control floods and manufacture fertilizer. The National Recovery Administration regulated fair competition among businesses and ensured bargaining rights and minimum wages for workers.The Social Security Act of 1935 established contributory old age and survivors pensions, as well as a joint federal state program of unemployment insurance.The Work Progress Administration was one of the most effective of the New Deal measures. Financed by taxes collected by the federal government, the WPA created millions of jobs by undertaking the construction of roads, bridges, airports and other public buildings. It kept workers in the job, thus preserving their skills and their self-respect.The New Deal programs did not end the Depression. But the economy improved as a result of this program of government intervention.66. According to the passage, “Black Thursday” is the day _.
