In New Orleans, Moon Walk—— a pathway
along a stretch of the Mississippi--now provides the public access that had
previously been denied. It’s a charming place, where one night recently a band
played on the walk as tourists and residents of the adjacent Vieux Carre (the
Old Quarter or French Quarter) strolled past. A few feet west, the paddlewheeler
Natchez sounded its whistle, signaling its imminent departure.
Now the city plans to extend public access to the area adjoining Moon Walk
in an ambitious design that will, the city hopes, be a part of its development
for the next world’s fair. This more ambitious concept for the waterfront will
be likely to stir considerable debate as competing projects vie (竞争) for the
opportunities for profit. The development will therefore require substantial
participation, cooperation and A. A.centers for water-borne commerce B.commercial and recreational centers C.sites of urban decay D.the focus of revitalization efforts

[单项选择] Passage Two
Most new words are made up from other
earlier words; language-making is a conservative process, wasting little. When
new words unfold out of old ones, the original meaning usually hangs around like
an unrecognizable scent, a sort of secret. There are two immense
words from Indo-European, gene and bheu, each a virtual anthill in itself, from
which we have constructed the notion Of everything. At the beginning or as far
back as they are traceable, they meant something like being. Gene signified
beginning, giving birth, while bheu indicated existence and growth. Gene turned
itself successively into kund jaz (Germanic) and gecynd (Old English), meaning
kin or kind. Kind was at first a family connection, later an elevated social
rank, and finally came to rest meaning kindly or gentle. Meanwhile, a branch of
gene became the Latin gens A. how to coin new words B. where to trace the origin of language C. the evolution of words D. language and nature

Passage two
A new kind of radar has been developed for space-age travelers. A working laboratory model of a new system of radar that makers use of a beam of light is said to be ten thousand times more accurate than the best comparable system of radar that uses microwaves.
The model has shown that this radar system can measure with absolute precision speeds varying from spaceship orbital injection velocities of five miles per second down to virtual stops-speeds of less than one ten-thousandth of an inch per second. According to the scientists who are developing this system, such fine measures of velocity are of prime importance in space missions. In a rendezvous between two spaceships, or in a landing approach by a vehicle onto an orbiting space station, a bump could rip(划破) open a ship's skin, or a nudge could knock the station out of its orbit.
The light-beam radar, which operates at a frequency of trillions(万亿) of cycles per second, could easily dete A. is the first radar system to work in space B. is more precise than microwave radar C. is easier to operate than microwave radar D. will work on the earth's surface as well as in space

New Year’s Eve requires the ultimate
party outfit. But what if your holiday spending has burned holes in your
pockets The answer might be to rent a little luxury.
The renting business has begun to lose the image of an industry filled
with designer tuxedos, Halloween costumes or out-of-date evening wear. Still
largely an industry dedicated to special-event clothing (dinners, corporate
parties, weddings), it has started to branch out into more casual clothing. And
for those not afraid to shop around, it has become an option for dressing up
on a budget. For the price of rentals (£150, or $260, for a
four-day period) , the only things available in most department stores are
dresses that look as if they are late for the party." Working women have
sophisticated tastes, but buying an evening dress is a very expensive
p A. offers more choices than it used to do B. has shifted its focus to casual clothing C. performs a similar function as in the past D. is still considered an old-fashioned industry
