13、 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

14、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 supp

19、 States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one ki

20、nd of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers (大臣) or teachers.In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvards law school. In

21、 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history.As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.Today, th

27、h of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier.

31、A.Giving a tree a special shape and a definite height.B.Removing small side branches and making a tree look less thick.C.Allowing too many branches to grow in the middle.D.Having a tree surrounded by many other trees.(3).The wounds result from pruning will do the following EXCEPT_.（分数：3.00）A.damage

32、the treeB.heal itselfC.cause the diseaseD.give the tree a desired shape(4).The writer suggests that pruning should be done in winter because_.（分数：3.00）A.the cut surface can heal more quicklyB.open wounds on the tree run the less risk of getting diseasedC.a gardener can do pruning more easilyD.the le

33、aves can interfere(5).The writers purpose when writing this passage is_.（分数：3.00）A.to describe how pruning a tree is doneB.to discuss different ways of pruning treesC.to give practical instructions for pruning a treeD.to explain how a tree wound gets diseased and healsBPassage Four/B“Were more than
