第二部分：阅读判断
16 A
文章第一段说看到某一年龄的那些男人们为他们的体重而担心是一件有趣的事情，而听他们谈论这件事就不那么有趣了。因为这些男人们在这个问题上还是新手，他们总是毫不迟疑地、没完没了地谈论发福的问题。
17 A
第一段第三句话说某一年龄的女人们却不谈论发福的问题，尤其是当有男士在场的时候。“in mixed company”在这个句子中的意思是“在既有女士也有男士的社交场合。”“in the presence of men”的意思是“在男士面前”。
18 B
第二段第一句话说男人们开始为发福的问题而担心的年龄各不相同，因此该题说男人们通常在将近四十岁的时候开始为体重的问题而担心是不正确的。
19 B
第二段中提到的那位记者过去并不喝节食型的可乐，而且过去他常把衬衫扎在裤子中是为了显示自己纤细的腰部，而不是为了保持体型。
20 A
作者在第三段第一句话中说比那位记者还要年长一些的男士们在发胖这个问题上已经丧失了自尊，总是喋喋不休地谈论自己的体重。接着作者以自己的大哥为例说明尽管如此，他们还是不希望听自己的妻子和孩子说自己胖。
21 B
第三段中作者大哥的女儿不愿告诉父亲他很胖，原因是她想取悦父亲，以便得到自己想要的东西，比如一盘新录像带，而不是因为怕父亲伤心。
22 C
文章对后一段提到离了婚的男士们在发福这个问题上最令人同情，但并没有提到是因为身边没有夫人来同情他们。
第三部分：概括大意与完成句子
23 D
本段的中心思想是，如果你在自己心情不好时去找老板会把事情弄得更糟。
24 E
本段的中心思想是双方都应清楚对方想要说什么。
25 C
本段的中心思想是，在提出问题时也要提出问题的解决办法。
26 B
本段的中心思想是，应该从老板的位置看问题，设身处地，老板才会愿意帮助你。
27 B
从语法上看，这里需要的是一个宾语，现在填入的是一个宾语从句，本句的意义和文章第一句话相同。
28 D
这句话需要填入的也是动词make的宾语，现在填入的是what引导的宾语从句。
29 E
只提出问题，不建议解决方法是不聪明的，这个意思在第四段里讲到了。
30 C
the troubles需要有限定或修饰，故填入一个定语从句。
第四部分：阅读理解
31 B
文章开篇第一句话意为“《纽约时报》最近报道美国的青少年现在几乎见到每一个人都会拥抱”。“practically”常来表达“nearly”、“almost”的意思。
32 D
第一段中列举了过去美国人见面打招呼的常见方式，不包括“拥抱”。
33 D
第三段谈及成年人对青少年越来越多地以拥抱的方式打招呼这一趋势所表达的关切，包括担心有一些人纯粹因为来自同伴的压力而不得不接受这样一种方式，担心那些不接受拥抱这种打招呼方式的人有被边缘化的感觉，甚至担心见面拥抱会成为性骚扰的保护外衣。但没有提及对拥抱可能更容易传播疾病有所担心。
34 D
倒数第二段中，作者谈到在一些国家，比如土耳其，男人见面时互相亲吻脸颊很正常。
35 A
从整篇文章的内容来看，作者对拥抱成为美国年轻人间打招呼的方式这一趋势持一个比较积极的态度。他认为其他文化中这样一种方式已经存在了很长的时间，从全球范围来看，美国不过是加入了其他国家的行列而已。
36 A
根据文中“the law enforcement official said the canisters were fired not at the main structure—but at the nearby underground bunker.” 这一句可以看出A是他没有承认的内容, 而B、C和D都在文中有直接或间接的体现。
37 C
庄园毁于大火, 而非爆炸, 因此A是错误的; “the fire that destroyed the wooden compound started around noon”表示时间是中午而非早晨, 因此B是错误的; 从“killing 80 people including the Davidians leader, David Koresh”来看, D是错误的; “flames that ended a 51day standoff between branch members and the federal government”, 和C选项相符, 因此C是正确的。
38 B
在大火中有80人丧生, 因此居住在庄园里的人肯定不止51个，所以A是错误的; “the fire that destroyed the wooden compound started around noon”, 可见其为木制结构, 而非石制, 因此C是错误的; “the compound near Waco” 是Branch Davidian 的居住地, 从文中无法得出其为校舍的结论, 因此D是不正确的; 文中多处提到main structure和bunker, 因此B为正确答案。
39 A
从文中看来, Coulson一反面承认FBI探员向庄园发射了可能导致火灾的催泪弹, 另一方面坚持说火灾不是这些催泪弹引起的, 使整个事件变得更加扑朔迷离, 因此A是正确的。
40 D
文中叙述者的口气比较平淡, 倾向于中立, 但aboutface等词的使用体现了对此事的关心和希望进一步揭露事实真相的态度，因此D是正确的。 其他三个选项都不能准确地体现叙述者的心情。
41 B
本题所涉及的相关信息在第一和第二段。其依据是“Last year, Sean Martinovich, from Whitianga, had life saving surgery when a golf sized tumour was removed from his brain stem.”和“Last week, 6-year-old Sean had seven hours of microsurgery that should give him back his smile. Last week, Sean had seven hours of microsurgery that should give him back his smile.”所以正确答案应为B，即在动脑部手术时，Sean Martinovich是五岁。
42 B
就文章内容猜测paralysed一词的意义，可以依据“He talked with a slur, sometimes dribbled out of the side of his mouth and could not close his eye properly...when they laughed he could not laugh with them.”显而易见，该词意为“瘫痪的”。
43 A
该题询问的是Doctor Bartlett从哪儿取了一根神经，将此神经移植到Sean Martinovich的脸上，文中提到“Doctor Bartlett removed a nerve from the back of one of Seans legs and transplanted it into his face.”据此可以判断正确答案为A。
44 A
从第二段最后一句“Socially people can become quite withdrawn because of the face paralysis. Its easy for people, especially children, to become rather emotionless because they prefer the flatness of no movement on either side to the weirdness of an asymmetry of smiling on one side and having this twisted face.”可以看出，因为面部瘫痪，人们，特别是孩子，会宁愿没有表情，而不愿让别人看到他们古怪的不对称的扭曲的笑脸。所以他们会变得没有情感，在社交上是内向的。由此可见只有选项A符合题意。
45 D
从文章最后”For Doctor Bartlett the microsurgery is almost routine.” “routine” 意为“常规的”，在这儿指，对于Doctor Bartlett来说，这个显微手术很简单，可以判断只有D符合题意。
第五部分：补全短文
46 C
应该填入与low level radiation有关的内容，例如low level radiation究竟有害还是无害。所以，C是合适的选项。此外，直接引语也佐证了选择的合理性。
47 B
前面一句介绍了澳大利亚拥有手机的现状。选项B的内容是对到2000年底之前手机发展前景的预测，内容连贯，是正确答案。
48 E
这一段的第一句说的是，许多微波发射塔建在人口稠密的居民区。选项E的内容涉及微波发射塔的地点选择只考虑到地理位置，而不顾及社区的安全。选项E扩展了第一句表达的信息。此外，选项E中出现tower这个词，与第一句的tower相应。也佐证了选择的合理性。
49 A
前面一句说的是Robert Bell建议政府应该禁止在学校操场、儿童日托中心、医院、运动场所以及儿童占比例较高的居住场所方圆500米范围内建造发射塔。选项A说明要这样做的原因，因而是答案。
50 D
后面一句说的是major telephone companies出钱资助研究项目的问题，提示了D是正确答案。
第六部分：完形填空
文章大意：在一些种族偏见尖锐的国家，暴力已经开始理所当然地成为一种解决分歧的手段，而且这甚至不会受到置疑。
51 A
可以用in which，但不能用which。如用which，in须出现在从句的尾端。下面一组句子概括了限定地点的各种定语从句及其使用的关系代词：
This is the place where I grew up.
This is the place in which I grew up.
This is the place which I grew up in.
This is the place I grew up in.
52 C
set fire to是一个固定的短语，意为“点火”。catch fire是“着火”，如：Paper catches fire easily. 纸容易着火。catching用在这里，句法和语义上都不合适。
53 A
reasonable是形容词，意为“有理性的”；reasonably是副词，填入句子句法上是不合适的；reasonless虽然也是形容词，但是它的意思正好同reasonable相反，如填入的话，前后的意思就讲不通了。reason是名词，意为“理性”。
54 D
in favor of的意思是“赞同”。for the sake of的意思是“为了”；for fear of的意思是“害怕，担心”；in case of 的意思是“万一；如果”。从上下文可以看出，只有D是合适的。
55 B
fill sb. with sth.是宏富的搭配，意为“使某人充满……”。又如：The news filled the children with excitement. 这个消息使孩子们欣喜若狂。
56 A
at all常放在否定句的句尾，用于强调。在该句中它跟no一起表示“一点也没有”的意思。after all的意思是“毕竟”；at last和in the end的意思都是“最后”。
57 C
recorded history的意思是“有记录的历史”，recorded一词是动词record的过去分词形式，有被动的含义。
58 D
表示解决问题，英语中要用solve a problem。answer可以接a question，但不能接a problem。deal的意思是“处理”，但它一定要有介词with来同它搭配，后面才可能接a problem。 keep的意思是“保持”，填入后句子解释不通。
59 B
mean这样的动词几乎不用进行时。根据上下文的时态来看，这里用过去时也不合适，所以只有B是正确的答案。
60 A
what是疑问词，同句子中的hit us一起构成一个名词性的从句，作wonder的宾语。
61 C
表示“位于”的意思，要用动词lie，lay的意思是“放；下蛋”。如：This is where the problem lies. 问题就出在这里。Tom laid the bag on the floor. 汤姆把包放在了地板上。The hen lays one egg every day. 这只母鸡每天都下一个蛋。
62 A
their own kind 的意思是说“他们的同类”。
63 D
such... as是固定的搭配，表示“就像……一样的”。又如：I have never seen such beautiful girls as Mary and Linda.我从来没有见过玛丽和琳达这样漂亮的女孩子。such后面也可跟that，但that引起的是一个从句，如：They had such a fierce dog that no one dared to go near their house. 他们曾养过一只凶猛的狗，没有人敢走近他们的屋。
64 B
put to good use的意思是“很好地利用”。
65 C
for all的意思是“为所有的人”。

The Fat Problem that Men Face
It is a pleasure to see men of a certain age worrying about their weight. Listening to them is not such a pleasure. Because the men are new at the game, they don’t hesitate to discuss the fat problem incessantly. However women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem, especially not in mixed company. They prefer to face the problem with quiet dignity. Discussing the problem might only draw attention to some stray body part that may be successfully tucked away under an article of clothing.
The age at which a man begins to explore the fat problem can vary. The actual problem can manifest itself in the early 30’s,but broad range discussion usually starts later. There are early nonverbal symptoms. I’ve watched the rugged journalist who shares my apartment sneak by with a Diet Coke. His shirts are no longer neatly tucked in to display a trim waist. Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety. He tells me, with a sheepish grin, that he is taking his suits to Chinatown to have them “tailored”.
Still older men have lost their dignity and rattle on unabashedly. Often wives and children play important roles in their fatinspection rituals. Take my oldest brother, a former college football player.His daughter says that several times a day he will stand at attention and call out,” Fat, medium or thin?” She knows the correct answer: medium. Thin would be an obvious stretch, and fat may not get her that new video. According to his wife, he stands in front of the mirror in the morning(before the day’s meals take their toll),puts his hands behind his head and lurches into a side bend, then clutches the roll that has developed and says,“ Am I getting fatter?”His wife is expected to answer,“ You look like you may have lost a few pounds.”
And then there are the ex-husbands a pitiful group. They are extremely vocal. When I go to the movies with one, he confides that he is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting. He hasn’t eaten since the pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning. He pauses in his monologue while he buys his popcorn. After the movie, we sprint to a restaurant, where he again pauses to devour a basket of bread. Before he orders his chaste salad and soup, he grows plaintive. Do I think he’s fat?
16 Men of a certain age are always ready to talk about their fat problem.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
17 Women of a certain age do not discuss the fat problem, especially in the presence of men.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
18 Men usually begin to worry about their weight when they are nearly 40.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
19 The journalist used to drink Diet Coke and tuck his shirts in order to keep trim.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
20 Men older than the journalist never hesitate to talk about their fat problem yet would be displeased if their family members tell them the truth.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
21 My oldest brother’s daughter would not tell her father he is fat because she loves him so much that she cannot bear to upset him.
A Right B Wron C Not mentioned
22 The ex-husbands are pitiful because they have got no wives to sympathize with their fat problem.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned

How to Get along Well with Your Boss
1 Before you argue with your boss, check with the boss’s secretary to determine his mood.If he ate nails for breakfast, it is not a good idea to ask him for something. Even without the boss’s secretary, there are keys to timing don’t approach the boss when he’s on deadline, don’t go in right before lunch, when he is apt to be distracted and rushed, don’t go in just before or after he has token a vacation.
2 If you’re mad, that will only make your boss mad. Calm down first. And don’t let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration. The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind. Then maybe he will dismiss you.
3 Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss. Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear. The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.
4 Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more. If you can’t put forward an immediate solution, at least suggest how to approach the problem. People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can’t get past the secretary.
5 To deal effectively with a boss, it’s important to consider his goals and pressures. If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss, then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals.

第四部分：阅读理解 (第31～45题，每题3分，共45分)
下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题，每题后面有4个选项。请仔细阅读短文并根据短文回答其后面的问题，从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。
第一篇Americans Get Touchy
The New York Times recently reported that American teens are hugging practically everyone they see. Say goodbye to the greetings of the past, from the hands off “What’s up!” to the handshake or high five. For young people across the country, hugging is the new “Hello”.
Girls are hugging girls. Boys are hugging boys. Girls and boys are hugging each other. And, like every major trend, there are lots of variations on the form. There’s the classic, full body, arms around the person bear hug, the casual one armed side hug, the group hug and the hug from behind. There’s the handshake that turns into a hug and the hug that turns into a pat on the back.
As trends go, this one seems pretty innocent. But some parents, teachers and school administrators are worried nonetheless. Will young people who aren’t as comfortable with physical contact feel peer pressured into hugging? Will kids who don’t receive hugs feel left out? Could an extra long hug slide into the more ominous territory of sexual harassment?
In response to some of these concerns, some schools have set up new rules to limit or eliminate hugging. One school head has created a threesecond limitation4 for hugs at her school.
A few schools have taken even more drastic measures, placing a ban on all forms of touching between students.
A few important points are being left out of the discussion. While the US has traditionally been reserved about touching saving hugs and kisses for relatives, romantic partners and very close friends people in many other parts of the world have been greeting each other this way for ages.
In Latin America or Western Europe, in countries like Spain, France, and Italy, a kiss on the cheek is common among women, as well as among women and men who are not romantically involved. The cheek kiss varies by region. Sometimes it is just an air kiss blown past the face. In other places, the proper way of greeting is to deliver a kiss upon both cheeks, or sometimes even a triplet of kisses performed by kissing one cheek, then the other, then back to the first. Latin American men are more likely to shake hands when greeting other men, but in some countries like Turkey, it’s not unusual for men who know each other well to exchange kisses on the cheek. Meanwhile, for the Maori people of New Zealand, a traditional greeting called the “hongi” involves pressing noses together.
So, from a global perspective, the new trend of teen hugging in America is not so “new” after all. People all around the world move in close to say hello, and Americans are just now joining in.
31 The word “practically” in the first paragraph could be best replaced by .
A．certainly B．nearly C．actively D．voluntarily
32 Which of the following is NOT among the typical ways of greetings in the past?
A．hands off “What’s up”
B．handshake.
C．highive.
D．embrace.
33 Some parents, teachers and school administrators concern the new trend of hugging for the following reasons EXCEPT .
A．Some young people get involved into the trend due to peer pressure
B．Those who don’t receive hugs feel left out
C．There’s the danger that hugging slide into the more ominous territory of sexual harassment
D．Diseases could be transmitted more easily through the extra long body contact
34 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．Teenagers across the US hug everyone they see in nearly the same way.
B．Although some adults worry about the trend, few measures have been taken to ban on it.
C．Traditionally, the US people have been reserved about hugging between anybody.
D．In some countries, it’s usual for men to kiss each other on the cheek.
35 We can infer that the author holds aattitude toward the new trend of hugging .
A．positive B．negative C．indifferent D．conservative
第二篇A Fire near Waco
Six years later, in an aboutface, the FBI admits that federal agents fired tear gas canisters capable of causing a fire at the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas in 1993. But the official said the firing came several hours before the structure burst into flames, killing 80 people including the Davidians’ leader, David Koresh.
“In looking into this, we’ve come across information that shows some canisters that can be deemed pyrotechnic in nature were fired—hours before the fire started,” the official said. “Devices were fired at the bunker, not at the main structure where the Davidians were camped out.”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation maintains it did not start what turned to be a series of fiery bursts of flames that ended a 51 day standoff between branch members and the federal government. “This doesn’t change the bottom line that David Koresh started the fire and the government did not,” the official said. “It simple shows that devices that could probably be flammable were used in the early morning hours.”
The law enforcement official said the canisters were fired not at the main structure where the Davidian members were camped out but at the nearby underground bunker. They bounced off the bunker’s concrete roof and landed in an open field well, the official said. The canisters were fired at around 6 a. m., and the fire that destroyed the wooden compound started around noon, the official said. The official also added that other tear gas canisters used by agent that day were not flammable or potentially explosive.
While Coulson denied the grenades played a role in starting the fire, his statement marked the first time that any U.S. government official has publicly contradicted the government’s position that federal agents used nothing on the final day of the siege at Waco that could have sparked the fire that engulfed the compound. The cause of the fiery end is a major focus of an ongoing inquiry by the Texas Rangers into the Waco siege.
36 The FBI official has NOT admitted that .
A．the canisters were fired at the main structure
B．the canisters were fired hours before the fire started
C．federal agents fired tear gas canisters capable of causing a fire
D．other tear gas canisters that were not flammable or potentially explosive were also used
37 From the passage, what information can be inferred about the event in 1993?
A．The compound was blown up by the FBI agents.
B．The compound burst into flames at dawn.
C．The federal government besieged the compound for 51 days before the tragedy occurred.
D．About 80 people were killed in the event except the Davidians’leader, David Koresh.
38 After reading the passage, how much do you know about the compound near Waco?
A．About 51 people lived in the compound at the time of the event in 1993.
B．It consisted of a main structure and a bunker.
C．It was built of stone.
D．It was a schoolhouse.
39 Coulson’s speech has .
A．made the matter even more complicated and confusing
B．been approved by the government
C．met sharp criticism
D．brought the whole matter into broad daylight
40 The attitude of the narrator towards this message is .
Aneutral Bbitter Cexcited Dexpectant
第三篇A Minor Microsurgery
Last year, Sean Martinovich, from Whitianga, had life saving surgery when a golfsized tumor was removed from his brain stem. But the operation left half his face paralysed. He talked with a slur, sometimes dribbled out of the side of his mouth and could not close his eye properly. Although he could run around with the other boys in the playground, when they laughed he could not laugh with them. Without a smile, he could suffer psychologically and emotionally.
Last week, 6-year-old Sean had seven hours of microsurgery that should give him back his smile. Doctor Bartlett removed a nerve from the back of one of Sean’s legs and transplanted it into his face. On the normal side of his face the nerve divides into lots of little branches. “We’ll cut those nerve branches and then we’ll take a nerve graft from one leg and tunnel it across his face from one side to the other and join that on to the nerve that’s been cut on the good side of his face.” Doctor Bartlett said, before the operation. “If this was not fixed he could face physical and emotional problems as he got older,” Doctor Bartlett said. “Socially people can become quite withdrawn because of the face paralysis. It’s easy for people, especially children, to become rather emotionless because they prefer the flatness of no movement on either side to the weirdness of an asymmetry of smiling on one side and having this twisted face.”
Sean is not smiling yet. Over the next six months the nerves will grow across the face to the damaged side and after that movement will hopefully come back. Sean’s parents, Steve and Wendy Martinovich, said they had been through a year of hell. But their son was a determined boy who just got on with it, said Mrs Martinovich. They are amazed at the technology that they hope will restore the cheeky smile they love so much. For Doctor Bartlett the microsurgery is almost routine. For Sean’s parents, it is a miracle.
41 How old was Sean Martinovich when the golf sized tumor was removed from his brain stem?
A．4 years old.
B．5 years old.
C．6 years old.
D．7 years old.
42 The underlined word “paralysed” (Para. 1) most probably means .
A．slur dribbled
B．lost of feeling in or control of body muscles

D．psychologically and emotionally disabled
43 Doctor Bartlett transplanted a nerve into Sean Martinovich’s face which was removed from his .
A．leg
B．back
C．the normal side of his face
D．brain
44 According to Doctor Bartlett, If the nerve was not fixed, Sean Martinovich could face physical and emotional problems as he got older. Why?
A．Because he may not want others to see the weirdness of an asymmetry of smiling on one side, so he will choose to withdraw.
B．Because other children will be scared to see his face.
C．Because he will be through time of hell.
D．Because other children will refuse to talk or play with him.
45 According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A．Sean Martinovich couldn’t run around with the other boys in the playground now.
B．Hopefully, Sean Martinovich can smile over the next three months.
C．Sean’s parents, Steve and Wendy Martinovich don’t believe the technology will restore the cheeky smile.
D．For Doctor Bartlett the microsurgery is just a minor and easy case.

Mobile Phones
Mobile phones should carry a label if they proved1 to be a dangerous source of radiation, according to Robert Bell, a scientist. And no more mobile phone transmitter towers should be built until the long term health effects of the electromagnetic radiation they emit are scientifically evaluated, he said. “Nobody’s going to drop dead overnight2 but we should be asking for more scientific information,” Robert Bell said at a conference on the health effects of low level radiation. __46__
A report widely circulated among the public says that up to now scientists do not really know enough to guarantee there are no ill effects on humans from electromagnetic radiation. According to Robert Bell, there are 3.3 million mobile phones in Australia alone and they are increasing by 2,000 a day3. __47__
As well, there are 2,000 transmitter towers around Australia, many in high density residential areas5. __48__ The electromagnetic radiation emitted for these towers may have already produced some harmful effects on the health of the residents nearby.
Robert Bell suggests that until more research is completed the Government should ban construction of phone towers from within a 500 metre radius of school grounds, child care centers, hospitals, sports playing fields and residential areas with a high percentage of children. __49__ He adds that there is also evidence that if cancer sufferers are subjected to electromagnetic waves the growth rate of the disease accelerates.
__50__ According to Robert Bell, it is reasonable for the major telephone companies to fund it. Besides, he also urges the Government to set up a wide ranging inquiry into possible health effects.
A He says there is emerging evidence that children absorb lowlevel radiation at rate more than three times that of adults.
B By the year 2004 it is estimated that Australia will have 8 million mobile phones: nearly one for every two people.
C If mobile phones are found to be dangerous, they should carry a warning label until proper shields can be devised,” he said.
D Then who finances the research?
E For example, Telstra, Optus and Vodaphone build their towers where it is geographically suitable to them and disregard the need of the community.
F The conclusion is that mobile phones brings more harm than benefit.

Racial Prejudice
In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has been taken for granted as a means of solving differences; and this is not even questioned. There are countries __51__ the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by __52__ fire to cities and by looting and pillaging. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be __53__ men, get up and calmly argue __54__ violence—as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you __55__ despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress __56__.We may wear collars and ties instead of war paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. The whole of the __57_ history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that violence never __58__ a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed and the suffering __59__ nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder __60__ hit us.
The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions __61__ are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own __62__ because they advocate such apparently outrageous things __63__ law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were __64__, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living standards and providing education and employment__65__ all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution.
