It was a town of machinery

37、and tall chimneys, out of which smoke trailed themselves for ever and ever. It had a black canal in it, and a river that ran purple with ill-smelling dye, and vast piles of buildings full of windows where there was a rattling and a trembling all day long, and where the piston of the steam-engine wor

38、ked monotonously up and down like the head of an elephant in a state of madness. The town contained several large streets all very like one another, and many small streets still more like one another, inhabited by people equally like one another. A sunny midsummer day. There was such a thing sometim

39、es, even in Coketown. Seen from a distance in such weather, Coketown lay covered in a haze of its own. You only knew the town was there, because you knew there could have been no such blotch upon the view without a town. The streets were hot and dusty on the summer day, and the sun was so bright tha

40、t it even shone through the haze over Coketown, and could not be looked at steadily. Workers emerged from low underground doorways into factory yards, and sat on posts and steps, wiping their faces and contemplating coals. The whole town seemed to be frying in oil. There was a stifling smell of hot

41、oil everywhere. The atmosphere of those places was like the breath of hell, and their inhabitants wasting with heat, toiled languidly in the desert. But no temperature made the mad elephants more mad or more sane. Their wearisome heads went up and down at the same rate, in hot weather and in cold, w

42、et weather and dry, fair weather and foul.

43、 of shafts and wheels. 89 Which of the following adjectives is NOT appropriate to describe Coketown? （ A） Dull. （ B） Dirty. （ C） Noisy. （ D） Savage. 90 From the passage we know that Coketown was mainly a(n)_ town. （ A） industrial （ B） agricultural （ C） residential （ D） commercial 91 Only_ were not a

45、raditional. 92 The uniqueness of the Japanese character is the result of two seemingly contradictory forces: the strength of traditions and selective receptivity to foreign achievements and inventions. As early as the 1860s, there were counter movements to the traditional orientation. Yukichi Fukuza

46、wa, the most eloquent spokesman of Japans “Enlightenment,“ claimed “The Confucian civilization of the East seems to me to lack two things possessed by Western civilization: science in the material sphere and a sense of independence in the spiritual sphere.“ Fukuzawas great influence is found in the

47、free and individualistic philosophy of the Education Code of 1872, but he was not able,to prevent the government from turning back to the canons of Confucian thought in the Imperial Rescript of 1890. Another interlude of relative liberalism followed World War I, when the democratic idealism of Presi

48、dent Woodrow Wilson had an important impact on Japanese intellectuals and, especially, students: but more important was the Leninist ideology of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. Again, in the early 1930s, nationalism and militarism became: dominant, largely ah a result of failing economic conditions.

49、Following the end of World War II, substantial changes were undertaken in Japan to liberate the individual from authoritarian restraints.
