Heartbeat of America
New York—the Statue of Liberty, the skyscrapers, the beautiful shops on Fifth Avenue and the many theaters on Broadway. This is America’s cultural capital. It is also her biggest city, with a population of nearly 8 million. In the summer it is hot, hot, hot and in the winter it can be very cold. Still there are hundreds of things to do and see all the year round.
【B1】______When people say "New York City" , they usually mean Manhattan. Most of the interesting shops, buildings and museums are here. In addition, Manhattan is the scene of New York’s busy night life. In 1605, the first Europeans came to Manhattan from Holland. They bought the island from the Native Americans for a few glass necklaces worth about $26 today.
【B2】______It is also the most important banking center in the world. It is a street of " skyscrapers". These are those incredible, high buildings, which Americans invented, and built faster and higher than anyone else. Perhaps the two most spectacular skyscrapers in New York are the two towers of the New York World Trade Center. When the sun sets, their 110 floors shine like pure gold.
【B3】______Traffic jams can be terrible. It’s usually quickest to go by subway. The New York subway is easy to use and quite cheap. The subway goes to almost every corner of Manhattan. But it is not safe to take the subway late at night because in some places you could get robbed. New York buses are also easy to use. You see more if you go by bus. There are more than 30,000 taxis in New York. Taxis do not go outside the city. However, they will go to the airports. In addition to the taxi fare, people give the taxi driver a tip of 15 percent of the fare’s value.
【B4】______It is surprisingly big, with lakes and woods, as well as organized recreation areas. New Yorkers love Central Park, and they use it all the time: In the winter, they go ice-skating, and in the summer roller-skating. They play ball, ride horses and have picnics. They go bicycling and boating. There is even a children’s zoo, with wild birds and animals.
Along the east side of Central Park runs Fifth Avenue, once called " Millionaire’s Row. " In the 19th century, the richest men in America built their magnificent homes here. It is still the most fashionable street in the city, with famous department stores.
【B5】______But away from the bright lights and elegant clothes of Broadway are many smaller theaters. Their plays are called " off-Broadway" and are often more unusual than the Broadway shows. As well as many theaters, New York has a famous opera house. This is the Metropolitan, where international stars sing from September until April. Carnegie Hall is the city’s more popular concert hall. But night life in New York offers more than classical music and theater. There are hundreds of nightclubs where people go to eat and dance.
Questions 61 to 65
Choose from the sentences A—G the one which best fits each gap of 61—65. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.
A. Broadway is the street where you will find New York’s best-known theaters.
B. Manhattan is a rich city.
C. Like every big city, New York has its own traffic system.
D. Central Park is a beautiful green oasis in the middle of New York’s concrete desert.
E. Two towers of the New York World Trade Center are spectacular.
F. Manhattan is the real center of the city.
G. Wall Street in Manhattan is the financial heart of the USA.
【B5】
选项
答案
A
解析
空格后一句提到“But away from the bright lights and elegant clothes of Broadway are many smaller theaters”,这里but表明此句和上句有转折关系,这句说的是away from Broadway,那么上句讲的应该是Broadway。因此A选项“在百老汇,你会找到纽约最为著名的剧院”放在这里使上下文意连贯。
