B.for the aim
C.for the try
D.in an attempt答案：D解析：aim和purpose的搭配是with the aim of和for the purpose of，所以[A]、[B]都可排除。try做名词讲时经常与动词连用。attempt“试图，尝试”。表示“在试图做某事时”可以说in one’s attempt to do sth.但若要表示“在作某一次尝试时”一般应用介词on，如：on the first/second attempt,因此选[D]。 -

The City Planning
In the past,cities usually grew in a disorderly way because few cities were built according to a plan.In the late 1 800s,the idea of a"beautiful city"came into_______(51).People felt that a city should have wide street,parks,and a civic centre.People_______(52)to realize that cities need to be planned.
In the first part of the 1900s,cities began to_______(53)zoning laws.Zoning laws say what kind of building can be put up in different parts of a city.A factory cannot be put up on land _______(54)for apartments.Apartments,_______(55),cannot be built on land for houses.
Meanwhile,cities were growing rapidly and changing almost_______(56).They faced many problems.Sometimes the streets in a city caused traffic_______(57).Sometimes there were not enough schools or hospitals for all the people who needed them. As people moved_______(58)to new areas of the city,older parts of town often became run-down.
At first,citizens_______(59)groups that tried to solve the problems a city faced.Today, most large cities have city planning board_______(60)part of their city government. On the board are city_______(61)who have special training. Many of them have college_______(62)in city planning. They must know how a city's land can be_______(63)used.They_______(64)new areas of the city and decide how to improve older_______(65).City planing boards help the city meet the needs of all the people who live there._________(65)
A:square
B: division
C:centers
D:section答案：D解析：come into being为固定搭配，意思是“形成、产生”，例如：When did the Great Britain come into being?英国是何时形成的？原文是“美丽城市”的理念应运而生，因此选C。
根据上下文判断，随着美丽城市理念的诞生，人们开始意识到城市需要被规划。come有“开始”的意思。所以此处选C最合适，其他各项均不合题意。fail失败, incline 和tend都有“倾向于”的意思。
根据词语的搭配可以知道，原文应该指的是“城市开始通过城市区划法”，三个选项中只有选项A最合适，pass有“通过”的意思，和law“法律”搭配使用正确。
空缺处需要填的是过去分词引导的定语从句，省略了which be。这里指的是被划分出来建公寓的地区不能盖工厂，zone更合适，意思是“将……划为特殊区域”。
however表示一种转折的关系。本句意思为“工厂不能建在用于盖公寓的土地上。然而，公窝也不能盖在建造大宅的土地上”。所以选项D符合。
根据前半部分即城市在快速地发展，可以判断出城市的变化也是很迅速的，选项D正确，意为“突然，很快”，与前面的rapidly呼应。
traffic jam意思是“交通堵塞”，较之选项B，选项A更符合常理，即城市里的街道会造成交通堵塞。
本句提到了老地区变得破败不堪，人们应该是搬出旧城区，搬进新的城市地区，所以选择C，后面接的介词to指“搬到……”。
只有form最适合和后面的group搭配使用。form意为“组成”，例如：The two parties formed a coalition．两个政党组成了联合政府。本句意思是“市民们组成了试图解决城市面临的问题的团体”。
三个选项中只有as适合，意思是“作为”。句子意思是“大多数的大城市都有了作为城市政府一部分的城市规划委员会”。
逻辑题。on the board意思是“委员会里”。前面提到大多数城市都有了 city planning board即“城市规划委员会”，那么委员会里必然有城市规划师，所以A正确。
degree意思是“学历”，后面常接介词in指在某专业方面的学历，原句中还有信号词college,所以选项degree最合适。level水平，qualification资质，height高度。
best这里是副词，意思是“最好地，最高标准地”，比较carefully （小心地）, suitably（合适地）以及cleverly（聪明地），选项B更为合适。原句意思是“这些城市规划师必须知道如何才能以最好的方式使用城市里的土地”。
lay out为固定搭配，意思是“规划，设计”。例如：When the local governments lay out the car parks, they must estimate the numbers of cars in these districts．当地方政府规划停车场时，他们必须先估计市区里的汽车数量。原文是“他们规划城市的新地区”。
这里的意思是“他们……决定如何来提升一个老城区”。section除了有 “部分”的意思外还指“（城市等的）地区，（街区等的）地段”。square意为“广场”,division意为“部分”,centers意为“中心”。 -

第13题：
回答 68 ~ 71 题： D Liverpool, my hometown, is a unique city.It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage（遗产）Site.
I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey.Blanketed in mist（薄雾），Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of sea-birds, and appeared unbelievably charming.When I headed toward the centre, I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe.It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid signs of Liverpool’s history.
As if to stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries（美术馆）than most cities in Britain. At Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has the best collections of Victorian paintings in the world, and is the home of modern art in the north of England． However, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As Britain’s No.1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and its musicians are famous all over the world.Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events． Every year, the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors, making the city a place of wonder.
As you would expect from such a city, there are restaurants serving food from around the world． When my trip was about to complete, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool’s famous Philharmonic pub（酒馆）. It is a monument to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself.
Being a World Heritage Site , my home city is certainly a place of “outstanding universal value.It is a treasure nouse with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.

free shopping areas were built in Middle Eastern countries to allow people to shop iii comfort and,more im-
portantly,safety.As far back as 2,000 years ago,road traffic was banned from central Rome during the day
to allow for the free movement of pedestrians（行人）,and was only allowed inl at night when shops and mar-
kets had closed for the day.In most other cities,however,pedestrians were forced to share the streets with
horses,coaches and,later,with cars and other motorised vehicles.
2 The modern,traffic-free shopping street was born in Europe in the l960s,when both city popula-
tions and car ownership increased rapidly.Dirty gases from cars and the risks involved,in crossing the road
were beginning to make shopping an unpleasant and dangerous experience.Many believed the time was right
for experimenting with car-free streets,and shopping areas seemed the best place to start.
3 At first,there was resistance from shopkeepers.They believed that such a move would be bad for
business.They argued that people would avoid streets if they were unable to get to them in their cars.When
the first streets in Europe were closed to traffic,there were even noisy demonstrations,as many shopkeepers
predicted they would.lose customers.
4 However,research carried out afterwards in several European cities revealed some unexpected statistics.
In Munich,Cologne and Hamburg,visitors to shopping areas increased by 50 percent.On Copenhagen's
main shopping street,shopkeepers reported sales increases of 25-40 percent.Shopkeepers in Minneapolis,
the USA,were so impressed when they learnt this that they even offered to pay for the construction and
maintenance costs of their own traffic-free streets.
5 With the arrival of the traffic-free shopping street,many shops,especially those selling things like
clothes,food and smaller luxury items,prospered.Unfortunately,it isn't good news for everyone,as shops
selling furniture and larger electrical appliances,etc.actually saw their sales drop.Many of these were forced
to move elsewhere,away from the city centre.Traffic-free shopping streets first developed in___________.

To handle the crop of 1919, the government 9．______appointed the first Canadian Wheat Board, with total authority to 10．______buy, sell, and set prices.正确答案：
1.in→with 此处考查介词用法。短语…with almost as much as feeling as if they were growers的意思是“……和种小麦的人有同样的感情……”。with…feeling表示“怀着……的情感”,用介词with。
2.increasing→increasingly 副词increasingly修饰形容词favorite。
3.so→but 前句“秋天小麦价格一般较低”与本句“农民们等不到市场行情上涨”,是转折关系,故用but。
4.Soon 考查赘述问题。shortly after与soon after均指“不久以后”,soon与shortly连用重复,所以应删一个。
5.just→only only接不定式结构,表达出人意料,人们所不希望的结果,相当于“不幸的是;却只能……”。
6.ask ^ (for) firmer ask sb. for sth.固定搭配,意为“向某人要求得到某物,请求”。
7.involving→involved 此处考查非谓语动词的用法,意思是政府一般不愿意卷入小麦交易的纷争,除非在战争期间小麦价格失去控制。involve为及物动词,be/become involved in被牵涉到,卷入……中。
8.life→living 生活费用,应用“living cost”表示。
9.√
10.total→full 表达“全权”应用full authority。total“总的,总体的”,主要是用来指数目或程度。解析： 暂无解析 -
