We 1 about this and that, and he said how much he was enjoying his 2 sinecures (闲职) non-executive directorships, sp

18、eaking 3 and so on. He had both more money and more 4 time than he used to have; in all, life was good. I asked him if he was missing the power. He looked at me as if I were a fool. Government ministers don“t have any power, he said. As a writer, I am used to people telling me that their jobs are me

19、aningless. In fact, this is the most popular problem that readers 5 . Lawyers, bankers, fund managers and all sorts of people with grand jobs write to me with the same 6 : The money may be good but where is the meaning? How can I make a difference? I always tell them to stop looking for meaning at o

20、nce. If they go out looking, they are most 7 to find anything. It is the same thing with happiness: The more you search, the less you find. No one 8 this excellent advice.

21、 ministers join some professionals in complaining that their work doesn“t 9 a row of beans, we are really in trouble. This crisis of meaninglessness is a relatively new thing. But now, as a joint result of prosperity and our general 10 self-reflection, it has become the normal thing. （分数：71.00）填空项 1

22、:_九、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)十、Section A(总题数：1，分数：35.50)New research finds that nearly 5200 kids are treated in an emergency department each year after falling from a window. That“s 14 kids a day, according to a study published Monday. Typical hospital admission 1 for childhood injuries stan

23、d at 5%, but 25% of window-related injuries end up requiring care in the hospital, for pretty obvious reasons: a fall from a window can be 2 . New York City landlords are required to 3 the guards, which resemble horizontal jail bars and cover the bottom half of a window to form a barrier that preven

24、ts kids from 4 out. Programs like Children Can“t Fly in New York and Kids Can“t Fly in Boston, which have raised public 5 about the need for window guards, especially in high-rise buildings, have helped contribute to dramatic 6 in the number of children falling out of windows in those cities. Parent

25、s can also use window stops to 7 children. Stops are screwed into the window frame and block the window from sliding too far upward. Parents should further limit children“s 8 to windows by moving dressers, beds and tables away from the openings; many kids fell through a window they accessed by climb

26、ing onto furniture. It“s also important to be 9 watchful when the weather is warm since that“s when windows tend to be open. And don“t make the mistake of thinking that a window screen 10 any protection. It found that screens did not prevent falls. A. access F. deadly K. particularly B. account G. e

27、ntirely L. protect C. anxiety H. injurious M. rates D. awareness I. install N. reductions E. crawling J. offers O. slipping（分数：35.50）十一、Section B(总题数：1，分数：71.00)Triumph of the CityA. 243 million Americans crowd together in the 3 percent of the country that is urban. 36 million people live in and aro

28、und Tokyo, the most productive metropolitan area in the world. Twelve million people reside in central Mumbai. On a planet with vast amounts of space, all of humanity could fit in Texaseach of us with a personal townhouse, we choose cities. Although it has become cheaper to travel long distances, or

29、 to telecommute, more and more people are clustering closer and closer together in large metropolitan areas. Five million more people every month live in the cities of the developing world, and in 2011, more than half the world“s population is urban. B. Cities, the dense agglomerations (凝聚体) that do

30、t the globe, have been engines of innovation since Plato and Socrates argued in an Athenian marketplace. The streets of Florence gave us the Renaissance, and the streets of Birmingham gave us the Industrial Revolution. The great prosperity of contemporary London and Tokyo comes from their ability to

31、 produce new thinking. Wandering these citieswhether down stone sidewalks or grid-cutting cross streets, around roundabouts or under freewaysis to study nothing less than human progress. C. In the richer countries of the West, cities have survived the end of the industrial age and are now wealthier,

32、 healthier, and more tempting than ever. In the world“s poorer places, cities are expanding enormously because urban density provides the clearest path from poverty to prosperity. Despite the technological breakthroughs that have caused the death of distance, it turns out that the world isn“t flats

33、it“s paved. D. The city has triumphed. But as many of us know from personal experience, sometimes city roads are paved to hell. The city may win, but too often its citizens seem to lose. Every urban childhood is shaped by extraordinary people and experiencessome delicious, like the sense of power th

34、at comes from a preteen“s first subway trip alone; some less so, like a first exposure to urban gunfire. For every Fifth Avenue, there“s a Mumbai slum; for every Sorbonne, there“s a D.C. high school guarded by metal detectors. E. Indeed, for many Americans, the latter half of the twentieth centuryth

35、e end of the industrial agewas an education not in urban splendor (辉煌) but in urban squalor (惨状). How well we learn from the lessons our cities teach us will determine whether our urban species will flourish in what can be a new golden age of the city. F. My passion for the urban world was inspired

36、by my metropolitan childhood; I“ve spent my life trying to understand cities. That quest has been rooted in economic theory and data, but it has also meandered (漫步) through the histories of metropolitan areas and the everyday stories of those who live and work in them. I find studying cities so inte

37、resting because they pose fascinating, important, and often troubling questions. Why do the richest and poorest people in the world so often live side by side? How do once-mighty cities fall into disrepair? Why do so many artistic movements arise so quickly in particular cities at particular moments

38、? Why do so many smart people enact so many foolish urban policies? G. There“s no better place to ponder these questions than what many consider to be the prototypical cityNew York. Native New Yorkers, like myself, may occasionally have a slightly exaggerated view of their city“s importance, but New

39、 York is still a model of urbanity and therefore an appropriate place to start our journey to cities across the world. Its story includes the past, present, and future of our urban centers, and provides a springboard for many of the themes that will emerge from the pages and places ahead. H. If you

40、stand on Forty-seventh Street and Fifth Avenue this Wednesday afternoon, you“ll be surrounded by people. Some are rushing uptown for a meeting or downtown to grab a drink. Others are walking east to enter the Grand Central Terminal, which has more platforms than any other train station in the world.

41、 Some people may be trying to buy an engagement ringafter all, Forty-seventh Street is the nation“s premier market for jewels. There will be visitors gazing upwardsomething New Yorkers never doon their way from one landmark to another. If you imitate a tourist and look up, you“ll see two great ridge

42、s of skyscrapers framing the valley that is Fifth Avenue. I. Thirty years ago, New York City“s future looked far less bright. Like almost every colder, older city. The city“s subways and buses felt out of date in a world being rebuilt around the car. The city“s port, once the glory of the Eastern se

43、aboard, had sunk into irrelevance. Under the leadership of John Lindsay and Abe Beame, the city“s government had come near default despite having some of the highest taxes in the nation. Not just Jerry Ford, but history itself seemed to be telling New York City to drop dead. J. New York, or more pro

44、perly New Amsterdam, was founded during an earlier era of globalization as a distant outpost of the Dutch West India Company. It was a trading village where a hodgepodge (大杂烩) of adventurers came to make fortunes swapping pearls for furs. Those Dutch settlers clustered together because proximity mad

45、e it easier to exchange goods and ideas and because there was safety behind the town“s protective wall (now Wall Street). K. In the eighteenth century, New York passed Boston to become the English colonies“ most important port; it specialized in shipping wheat and flour south to feed the sugar and t

46、obacco colonies. During the first half of the nineteenth century, with business booming, New York“s population grew from sixty thousand to eight hundred thousand, and the city became America“s urban giants. That population explosion was partly due to changes in transportation technology. At the star

47、t of the nineteenth century, ships were generally smallthree hundred tons was a normal sizeand, like smaller airplanes today, ideal for point-to-point trips, like Liverpool to Charlestown or Boston to Glasgow. Between 1800 and 1850, improvements in technology and finance brought forth larger ships t

48、hat could carry bigger loads at faster speeds and lower cost. L. There was no percentage in having these huge ships traveling to every point along the American coast. Just like today“s Boeing 747s, which land at major centers and transfer their passengers onto smaller planes that take them to their

49、final destinations, the big ships came to one central bay and then transferred their goods to smaller vessels for delivery up and down the Eastern seaboard. New York was America“s super port, with its central location, deep, protected harbor, and river access far into the inland. When America moved to a hub-and-spoke shipping system, New York became the natural hub.（分数：71.00）(1).Cheaper long-distance travel and telecommunication did not lead people to move away from the
