I had managed to sell all my papers and was coming home in the snow. It was that strange hour in downtown New York when the workers were pouring homeward in the twilight. I marched among thousands of tired men and women whom the factory whistles had unyoked. They flowed in rivers through the clothing factory districts, then down along the avenues to the East Side.I met my father near Cooper Union. I recognized him, a hunched, frozen figure in an old overcoat standing by a banana cart. He looked so lonely, the tears came to my eyes. Then he saw me, and his face lit with his sad, beautiful smile—Charlie Chaplin´s smile."Arch, it´s Mikey," he said. "So you have sold your papers! Come and eat a banana."He offered me one. I refused it. I felt it crucial that my father sell his bananas, not give them away. He thought I was shy, and coaxed and joked with me, and made me eat the banana. It smelled of wet straw and snow."You haven´t sold many bananas today, pop," I said anxiously, He shrugged his shoulders. "What can I do? No one seems to want them."It was true. The work crowds pushed home morosely over the pavements. The rusty sky darkened over New York building, the tall street lamps were lit, innumerable trucks, street cars and elevated trains clattered by. Nobody and nothing in the great city stopped for my father´s bananas."I ought to yell," said my father dolefully. "I ought to make a big noise like other peddlers, but it makes my throat sore. Anyway, I´m ashamed of yelling, it makes me feel like a fool."I had eaten one of his bananas. My sick conscience told me that I ought to pay for it somehow.I must remain here and help my father. "I´ll yell for you, pop," I volunteered." "Arch, no," he said, "go home; you have worked enough today. Just tell momma I´ll be late."But I yelled and yelled. My father, standing by, spoke occasional words of praise, and said I was a wonderful yeller. Nobody else paid attention. The workers drifted past us wearily, endlessly; a defeated army wrapped in dreams of home. Elevated trains crashed; the Cooper Union clock burned above us; the sky grew black, the wind poured, the slush burned through our shoes. There were thousands of strange, silent figures pouring over the sidewalks in snow, None of them stopped to buy bananas. I yelled and yelled, nobody listened.My father tried to stop me at last. "Nu," he said smiling to console me, "that was wonderful yelling. Mikey. But it´s plain we are unlucky today! Let´s go home."I was frantic, and almost in tears. I insisted on keeping up my desperate yells. But at last my father persuaded me to leave with him.第58题"Unyoked" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A.sent outB.releasedC.dispatchedD.removed第59题Which of the following is intended to be a pair of contrast in the passage?A.Huge crowds and lonely individuals.B.Weather conditions and street lamps.C.Clattering trains and peddlers´ yells.D.Moving crowds and street traffic.第60题Which of the following words is NOT suitable to describe the character of the son?passionate.B.Responsible.C.Shy.D.Determined.第61题What is the theme of the story?A.The misery of the factory workers.B.How to survive in a harsh environment.C.Generation gap between the father and the son.D.Love between the father and the son.第62题What is the author´s attitude towards the father and the son?A.Indifferent.B.Sympathetic.C.Appreciative.D.Difficult to tell.上一题下一题(63~67/共30题)SECTION 2: STUDA SKILLSDirections: In this section, you will read several passages. Each passage is followed by several questions based on its content. You are to choose ONE best answer. (A), (B), C. or (D), to each question. Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.The Panorama is not the first model of New York. In 1845 E. Porter Belden, a savvy local who had written the best city guide of its day, set 150 artists, craftsmen, and sculptors to work on what an advertisement in his guide described as "a perfect facsimile of New York, representing every street, lane, building, shed, park, fence, bee, and every other object in the city." This "Great w0rk of art," Belden said, distilled "over 200, 000 buildings, including Houses, Stores and Rear-Buildings" and two and a half million windows and doors into a twenty-by-twenty-four-foot miniature that encompassed the metropolis below Thirty-second Street and parts of Brooklyn and Governors Island, all basking under a nearly fifteen-foot-high Gothic canopy decorated with 0il paintings of "the leading business establishments and places of note in the city." Alas, every trace of it has vanished.Of course Belden´s prodigy was far from the first display of model buildings. Since antiquity architects and builders have used miniatures m solve design problems and win support from patrons and public. A recent show at die National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., featured fourteen models created by Renaissance architects, including the six-ton, fifteen-foot-high model of St. Peter´s that Antonio da Sangallo the Younger built for the pope.Beyond their uses as design tools and propaganda, models have always possessed a curious power to enchant and excite. The sculptor Teremy Lebensohn was describing architectural models but could have been characterizing all miniatures when he wrote, "The model offers us a Gulliver´s view of a Lilliputian world, its seduction of scale reinforcing the sense of our powers to control the environment, whether it be unbroken countryside, a city block or the interior of a room."A model 0fthe 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition presented to the city in 1889 is unique in that some of the buildings and details are made of brass and that it is still on display in the basement of what was the Liberal Arts Building at the fair in Philadelphia´s Fairmont Park.The San Francisco World´s Fair of 1915 featured another New York City model, 550 feet square and complete with a lighting system that highlighted the city´s major features. City models have also miniaturized Denver, San Diego, and San Francisco, the Denver one built during the 1930s with WPA funding. A re-creation of the city as it appeared in 1860, it includes figures of men, women, and children in period costumes, along with animals and assorted wagons, and is now on display at the Colorado History Museum in Denver.San Diego´s model, in Old Town State Historic Park, was built by Jo Toigo and completed in the 1970s and depicts that city´s Old Town section as it looked a century earlier. Like the Denver model, it includes people, animals and vehicles.A model of San Francisco is in the Environmental Simulation Laboratory in Berkeley, California. Not a realistic model in the true sense of the word, it represents the buildings and land contours of the city and has been used to study patterns of sunlight and shadow and the flower of wind caused by San Francisco´s many hills. The computer´s ability to simulate the same effects has diminished the model´s importance, and its future is uncertain.New materials and techniques have now brought the craft of architectural models to an impressive level. Computer-controlled lasers and photo-etching (the process invented to create the Panorama´s bridges) allow model makers to create presentations pieces of astonishing realism.第63题What is the passage mainly about?A.City development in AmericaB.Famous American designersC.History of American architectureD.City model making in America第64题The word "distilled" as used in Para. 1 is closest in meaning to ______.A.removedB.representedC.refinedD.purified第65题It can be inferred from the passage that models ______.A.are only used for exhibitionB.can not be treated as work of artC.always serve as a means of making money for architects。
