　　综合类-概括大意　

　　Heartbeat of America

　　1. New York―the Statue of Liberty(自由女神), the skyscrapers, the beautiful shops on Fifth Avenue(第五大街) and the many theaters on Broadway(百老汇). This is America's cultural capital. It is also her biggest city, with a population(人口居民) 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.

　　2. Manhattan(曼哈顿) is the real center of the city. When people say “New York City,” they usually mean Manhattan. Most of the interesting shops, buildings and museums(博物馆) 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(荷兰). They bought the island from the Native Americans for a few glass necklaces worth about $26 today.

　　3. Wall Street(华尔街) in Manhattan is the financial(金融的) heart of the USA. It is also the most important banking center in the world. It is a street of “skyscrapers.” These are those incredible(难以置信的), high buildings, which Americans invented, and built faster and higher than anyone else. Perhaps the two most spectacular(壮观) 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.

　　4. Like every big city, New York has its own traffic(交通) system. Traffic jams can be terrible. It's usually quickest to go by subway(地铁). 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 a night because in some places you could get robbed(抢劫). 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. They are easy to see, because they are bright yellow and carry large TAXI signs. 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.

　　5. Central Park is a beautiful green oasis(绿洲) in the middle of New York’s concrete(水泥) desert. 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(野餐). They go bicycling and boating. There is even a children's zoo, with wild birds and animals.

　　6. Along the east side of Central Park runs Fifth Avenue, once called “Millionaire's Row.(百万富翁之街)” 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.

　　7. Broadway is the street where you will find New York's best-known theaters. But away from the bright lights and elegant clothes of Broadway are many smaller theaters. Their plays an called “off-Broad-way”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.

　　8. C句中的more attractive提示了后面很可能有用than引导的从句。

　　译文：美国的心搏

　　一提到纽约，人们自然会想到自由女神塑像、摩天大楼、第五大道上的漂亮店铺以及百老汇 的众多剧院。这就是美国的文化之都。纽约同时也是美国最大的城市，拥有近800万人口。这里 的夏天炎热无比，冬天又非常寒冷。一年到头，这里有无数事情可做，无数事物可观。

　　曼哈顿是纽约真正的市中心。人们所说的“纽约城”通常指的就是曼哈顿。大多数有趣的商 店、建筑物和博物馆都在这里。此外，.在曼哈顿人们能见到纽约繁忙的夜生活。1605年第一批欧 洲人从荷兰来到曼哈顿。他们仅用了几串玻璃项链(今天大约值26美元)就从当地人那里买下 这片岛屿。

　　曼哈顿的华尔街是美国的金融中心，也是世界上最重要的银行业中心。街道两旁摩天大楼林 立。这是一些令人瞠目的高楼，美国人创建了它们并比谁都建得更快更高。纽约最壮观的摩天大 楼或许要算纽约世界贸易中心的两幢塔楼。日落时，110层的塔楼像黄金一样闪耀。

　　像每个大城市一样，纽约也有自己的交通系统。交通堵塞非常严重。乘坐地铁是最快的交通 方式。纽约的地铁既便利又便宜，几乎通向曼哈顿的每个角落。但夜晚时乘地铁并不安全，因为 你可能会在某处被抢劫。纽约的公交车也很便利，也便于观光。纽约有3万多辆出租车不出城， 但可以去机场。除了车费，还需支付出租车司机15%的小费。

　　中央公园是纽约水泥沙漠中的一片美丽的绿洲。它非常大，点缀着湖泊、森林以及布局合理 的娱乐区。纽约人热爱中央公园，无时无刻不在使用它。他们冬天在这里滑冰，夏天在这里溜旱 冰。人们在这里打球、骑马、野餐、骑车以及划船。这里还有一个儿童动物园，里面有野生鸟类 和动物。

　　中央公园的东面是第五大道，曾被称为“百万富翁之街”。在19世纪，美国最有钱的人们将 他们的豪宅建在这里。至今它仍是城中最时尚的街道，名店林立。

　　在百老汇，你会找到纽约最为著名的剧院。远离百老汇那耀眼的灯光和人们高雅的衣着，有 许多小剧院。它们的剧百被称为“非百老汇剧”，通常比百老汇的剧目更具特色。纽约还有一座 著名的歌剧院――大都会歌剧院，世界级歌星在这里的演出从九月一直持续到第二年四月。卡内 基音乐厅是城中更受青睐的音乐厅。但纽约的夜生活不仅是经典音乐和剧院，还有成百上千的夜总会，人们在那里用餐、跳舞。
