Regression, the【41】to look back over【42】you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which【43】down the speed of reading is vocalizationsounding each wo

35、oreign workers as well as Germans; professors, artists, musicians, and farmers, as well as workers in munitions factories. And the mode of death, as will be seen, was often shocking and gruesome. But it is faulty to assume that without the bombing all those who perished would have survived and would

36、 have met death more peacefully. Land invasion would have meant the ravaging of cities by heavy artillery, tanks, and flame throwers, the desperate flight of thousands of civilians (which indeed occurred on Germanys eastern front), and the ultimate collapse of all forces of order, with internecine f

37、ighting, famine, and disease as likely accompaniments. Neither can one assume that more churches, famous monuments, paintings, library books, and so forth would have survived. That those who stopped the bombs had pangs of guilt in respect to the suffering they caused and the cultural wealth they des

38、troyed is a credit to their humanitarian sensitivities. But sentiments of revulsion are more appropriately directed at war itself, which inevitably brutalizes those involved, destroys normal sensitivities, and opens the way to rape, pillage, and want of destruction. A “clean“, “humane“ war is an imp

39、ossibility. 81 World War II is particular in that it（A）anticipated the arrival of new age in war-waging.（B） victimized the ordinary people and soldiers alike on unprecedented scales.（C） made the aggressors suffer more than the aggressed.（D）used the propaganda to get the civilians into it without hes

40、itation.82 It can be inferred from the first paragraph that “Rosie the Riveter“ was（A）a picture used in the war propaganda.（B） the name of an American hero during the war.（C） a representative of women who were dragged into the war.（D）a German-born worker who escaped to America during the war.83 In t

41、he second paragraph, the author seems to consider the Allied bombing on Germany（A）imprudent.（B） immoral.（C） justified.（D）reckless.84 According to the author, without the Allied bombing,（A）more lives might have been saved.（B） people would have died of other disasters.（C） the Allied landing would have

42、 been out of the question.（D）many cultural objects would have survived.85 The author concludes the passage by pointing out that（A）there is no such a thing as humane war.（B） a total war is the cruelest thing in human history.（C） a war does no good either to the winner or to the loser.（D）it is impossi

43、ble to wage a total war today.85 Pageants (露天演出) are usually conceived on a fairly large scale, often under the auspices of some local or civic authority or at any rate in connection with local groups of some kind. This sometimes means that there is an allocation of funds available for the purpose o

44、f mounting the production, though unfortunately this will usually be found to be on the meagre side and much ingenuity will have to be used to stretch it so that all performers can be adequately clothed.Most pageants have a historical flavor as they usually come about through the celebration of the

45、anniversary of some event of historic importance, or the life or death of some local worthy. Research among archives and books in the public library will probably prove very useful and produce some workable ideas which will give the production an especially local flavor. From the first economy will

46、have to be practised because there are usually a great number of people to dress. Leading characters can be considered individually in the same way as when designing for a play; but the main body of the performers will need to be planned in groups and the massed effect must be always borne in mind.M

47、any pageants take place in daylight in the open air. This is an entirely different problem from designing costumes which are going to be looked at under artificial lighting; for one thing, scenes viewed in the daylight are subject to many more distractions. No longer is everything around cut out by

48、the surrounding darkness, but instead it is very easy to be aware of disturbing movement in the audience or behind the performers. Very theatrically conceived clothes do not always look their best when seen in a daylight setting of trees, verdant lawns and old ivy-covered walls; the same goes for co

49、stumes being worn in front of the mellow colors of stately homes. The location needs to be studied and then a decision can be made as to what kinds of colors and textures will harmonize best with the surroundings and conditions and then to carry this out as far as possible on the funds available.If money is available to dress the performers without recourse to their own help in the provision of items, it is best to arrange for all the cutting and pinning together of the costumes to be done by one or two experienced people than to be given out to the groups an
