It had taken me some months to get used {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}the Provencal delight in physical contact. Like anyone brought up in England, I had absorbed certain social mannerisms. I had learned to keep my distance, to offer a nod instead of a handshake, to ration kissing to female relatives and to confine any public demonstrations of affection on dogs. The Provencal welcome, as thorough as being searched by airport security guards, was, at first, a {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}(startle) experience. Now I enjoyed it, and I was fascinated by the niceties of the social ritual, and the sign language which is an essential part of any Provencal encounter.

填空题When Christopher Columbus landed in the New World, the North American continent was area of astonishing ethnic 11 and cultural diversity. North of the Rio Grande, which now marks the border among the United States and Mexico, was a 12 population of over 12 million people representing approximately 400 distinct cultures, 500 languages, and a remarkable variety of political and religious institutions and physical and ethic types. Compared to the Europeans, the Indian peoples 13 were extraordinary heterogeneous, and they often viewed the Europe as just another tribe. 14 These varied tribal cultures were as diversified as the Land the Indians lived. In the high plains of the 15 Dakotas, the Mandan developed a peaceful communal Society centered around agriculture. Only a few hundred miles off, however, in the northwestern Montana, the Black feet 16 turned from agriculture and began to use horse, which had been introduced by the Spaniards. As skilled riders they became 17 hunters and fighters and developed a fierce and aggressive culture centered around the buffalo. In the eastern woodlands surrounding the Great Lakes, the Potawatomis were expert fisherman, canoe builders, and hunters. In the Northeast the six Iroquois nations were among the most political 18 sophisticated people in the world, formed the famed Iroquois 19 confederation, that included the Senecas and the Mohawks. 20 This confederation, with its systems of checks and balances, provided a model for the United States constitutions.

填空题In the early 1950s the researchers who produced the first clad glass optical fibers were not thinking of using them for communications. H 1 , fiber optics was already a well-established commercial technology when the famous paper by Kao and Hockham, 2 (claim) the use of low-loss optical fibers for communication, appeared in 1966. The first low-loss silica fiber was described in 3 which appeared in October of 1970. The date of this publication is sometimes 4 (cite) as the beginning of the era of fiber communication. Although this development did receive 5 (consider) attention in the research community at the time, it was far from inevitable that a major industry would evolve.

填空题Going to the beach is many Americans'favorite activity. In the area near New York City, nine million people used to go to the beach every summer. They went swimming in the ocean without giving a thought to what was underwater. But those days are long gone. In the summer of 1988. the government was forced to shut down beaches all over America. Many of the beaches had to be closed because garbage from hospitals was found in the water. The garbage included glass bottles with samples of blood, and people were afraid they might get AIDS from the blood. Where the medical garbage came from is anybody's guess. At some beaches, sewage (生活污水) was found in the water. Americans were shocked by this state of affairs. They had long taken for granted that oceans were big enough to stay clean, even if garbage and sewage were dumped into them. People didn't think of the underwater garbage because it was out of sight. Some of the most polluted waters still look beautiful at first glance. San Francisco Bay is a good example of a beautiful bay that's full of chemicals. Scientists discovered pollution in some lakes and rivers when they found fish with rotting skin. In many parts of America, people are told not to eat too much fish because of pollution. Most American cities put their garbage in the ground. But New York and a few other cities put their garbage in the ocean. Boston Harbor is so polluted that scientists say it won't recover until the next century at best. The city of Boston puts its sewage in the water. The government has ordered the city to build a sewage treatment plant. Cleaning up oceans won't be easy, but people can no longer ignore this challenge.

填空题Of all figures from America's past, Abraham Lincoln is dearest to the hearts of the American people. In fact, the admiration they have for him borders on worship. Writers note that the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. DC is not unlike the temples that ancient Greeks built in honor of their gods, and that annual ceremonies of celebrating Lincoln's birthday in schools and public places have sometimes had characteristics of religious services. Certainly Lincoln is America's ideal of a great leader. He had many of the qualities of leadership that Americans admire. First of all, Lincoln's career fits popular American belief that every child can dream of he-coming president. Americans admire the person—the one who, with neither money nor family influence, fights his or her way to the top. Lincoln was born of poor parents. His mother died when he was young. He had little opportunity for schooling. His early study was done alone at night by the light of a fireplace. He did hard manual labor through the day-splitting rails for fences, taking care of livestock, working on riverboat or in store. But as he grew older he studied law in his spare time and become a lawyer. He was a good speaker and student of political philosophy. His ability finally made a name for him and eventually, he became president of the United States. Lincoln is also admired because of his leadership during the difficult period of the Civil War. He dared to do what he thought was right at a time when his beliefs were unpopular with many people. He, in a sense, represents the spirit of union among the states. Before the Civil War, the economy of the South depended on an agricultural system, which made use of slave labor. When re, formers in the northern states put pressure on Congress not to permit to secede or withdraw from the United States, they argued that the question of slavery was a matter for the individual states to decide rather than the federal government, and they did not want to accept its decision. The national government said that no state had the right to secede, and the Civil War was the result. If the south had won the war, the Unites States might well have been divided into several countries. Lincoln worked hard to preserve the union, and the northern states were victorious. Furthermore, Lincoln had many personal qualities that made him dear to the hearts of his countrymen. He had infinite patience and tolerance for those who disagreed with him. As president, he appointed men to high government positions whom he considered most capable, even though some of them openly scorned him. He was generous to his opponents. There are many stories about his thoughtful treatment of southern leaders. When the war was over, he showed the South no hatred. Since generosity toward a defeated opponent is admired by Americans, Lincoln fitted the national ideal of what is right. Shortly after the Civil War ended, Lincoln was shot while attending a play in Washington Theater. He died within a few hours. The uncontrolled emotional reaction of the nation to his death was almost unbelievable and demonstrated the deep esteem in which he was held. Newspapers were edged with black ; religious leaders gave praise of Lincoln instead of their prepared sermons. His funeral procession in Washington was miles long. Lincoln's body was taken by train back to his former home in Springfield, Illinois, but in all the major cities through which the train passed, the coffin was paraded through streets lined with sorrowful thousands. In the small towns through which the train passed bells rang in honor of the dead president. Citizens lit torches along the railroad track to show their last respect. The circumstances of his death set Lincoln apart from other American leaders. Had Lincoln lived, it might well be that his postwar policies would have brought criticisms upon him that would have tarnished his popularity. Instead, an assassin's bullet erased in the minds of Americans any faults he had and emphasized his virtues. Complete the following sentences with information given in the passage, using a maximum of 4 words for each sentence.

I'm very interested in the apartment, for myself and my fianc6. We are currently living in Westside, but are looking for something closer to the town center, and I think your place would be ideal. I was hoping to be able to arrange a visit sometime next week. Monday would be the best day for us, but we can be flexible. In the advertisement, you mention that the place could be partly furnished. We have a little furniture ourselves, but probably not enough for a two-bedroom place. Could you possibly tell us what inventory is likely to be included with the apartment? I would also really appreciate it if you could send us a couple of pictures of the bedroom and living/dining room, as well as some directions as to how to get there. Thank you very much in advance. Yours, Kelvin Adams

填空题If art seeks to divorce itself from meaningful and associative images, if it holds material alone as its objective, then I think that the material itself ought to have the greatest possible plasticity, the greatest potentialities for the development of shapes and the creating of relationships. For that reason I think that the sculpture which has been created with a view to being form alone has been a great deal more successful and interesting than has been the painting in that vein. The sculptor sets out with two pre-existing advantages: one, that he must have craftsmanship, and the other, that he works in the round. He does not have to stimulate depth nor create illusions of depth because he works in volume—in three-dimensional form. Thus Noguchi, working in marble, is able to develop relationships in three-dimensions rather than two and yet retain both simplicity and unity. He has at his disposal the advantages of light and space, and the natural translucence and glow of marble, all of which he exploits and reveals with great elegance. Henry Moore is one of the great contemporary imaginers who has brought new materials and new concepts into sculptural form. He discovers the naturally heroic character of bronze and exploits feelingly the graining and fine surfaces of wood. Undoubtedly his most remarkable feat has been the surrounding of open space and his use of such space as a sculptural material. But beauty and craft and idea are still paramount with Moore and he never obliterates these qualities in the shock of the new.
