There are already 122 free parks for citizens to enjoy. But visitors are often hassled by beggars and fortune-tellers, and put off by t
28、he smell of urine left behind by someone using the grass as a toilet.Law and order in free parks are also worrying the citys park operators. They couldnt take any mandatory measures on those who do indecent things in parks except to try to persuade them to stop according to local regulations on park

31、venient stores and cafeterias. Some also rent out areas to companies who want to do outdoor promotions. But the bottom line is that parks should be comfortable places for visitors and should not be turned into outdoor markets.As well as not charging for tickets, parks are cutting back on staff, havi
32、ng a few staff members for daily operations. Most construction and maintenance jobs are commissioned to enterprises through public bidding so as to evaluate costs in a transparent and economical way.So far, more than 12,000 citizens are working as volunteers to help with park operations in Shanghai.

39、t was because of a certain force in me that had to write and that finally burst through and found a channel. My people were of the working class of people. My father, a stone-cutter, was a man with a great respect and veneration for literature. He had a tremendous memory, and he loved poetry, and th
40、e poetry that he loved best was naturally of the rhetorical kind that such a man would like. Nevertheless it was good poetry, Hamlets Soliloquy, Macbeth, Mark Antonys “Funeral Oration”, Greys “Elegy”, and all the rest of it. I heard it all as a child; I memorized and learned it all.He sent me to col
41、lege to the state university. The desire to write, which had been strong during all my days in high school, grew stronger still. I was editor of the college paper, the college magazine, etc. , and in my last year or two I was a member of a course in playwriting which had just been established there.
42、 I wrote several little one-act plays, still thinking I would become a lawyer or a newspaper man, never daring to believe I could seriously become a writer. Then I went to Harvard, wrote some more plays there, became obsessed with the idea that I had to be a playwright, left Harvard, had my plays re
43、jected, and finally in the autumn of 1926, how, why, or in what manner I have never exactly been able to determine. But probably because the force in me that had to write at length sought out its channel, I began to write my first book in London. I was living all alone at that time. I had two rooms-
44、a bedroom and a sitting room-in a litter square in Chelsea in which all the houses had that familiar, smoked brick and cream-yellow-plaster look.（分数：5.00）(1).We may conclude, in regard to the authors development as a writer, that his father _.A. made an important contributionB. insisted that he choo
45、se writing as a careerC. opposed his becoming a writerD. insisted that he read Hamlet in order to learn how to be a writer（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The author believes that he became a writer mostly because of _.A. his special talent B. his father s teaching and encouragementC. his study at Harvard D. a
46、hidden urge within him（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The author _.A. began to think of becoming a writer at HarvardB. had always been successful in his writing careerC. went to Harvard to learn to write playsD. worked as a newspaper man before becoming a writer（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The author really started on
47、 his way to become a writer _.A. when he was in high school B. when he was studying at HarvardC. when he lived in London D. after he entered college（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).A conclusion we cannot safely draw (based upon this passage. about the authors life in 1926 is that _.A. he was unmarriedB. he was
48、miserable about having his plays rejectedC. he lived in a house like all the other houses around himD. he started his first novel（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)It is difficult to say exactly how the music we call “rock“ or “rock and roll“ began. Its roots go back to many different countrie
49、s and many different kinds of music and musicians.Rock music developed mainly from the interaction of black African and white European music. The Europeans and the African slaves who came to America during the seventeenth century each had their own different kinds of music. Black Africans used heavy drumbeats, a rough singing voice, and the calling of a melody and answer of a chorus. The white Europeans, mostly English and Scots, used a stronger melody, a less heavy beat, and instruments such as
