There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book   36  hand. Of course, we may   37  with our guide-books the history and   38  developments of a town and get to know them.   39  then, if we take out time and   40  in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we   41  it as a whole, we begin to have some   42  ,which even the best guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just   43  this, this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its streets   44   in this particular way, and not in any   45  why?
Here even the best guide-book   46  us. One can’t find in it the information about how a town has developed to the   47  appearance. It may not describe the original (最初的)   48   of a town. However, one may get some idea of what I   49  look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine   50  the town was first planned and built. Then one can learn more about in what direction the town   51  to develop.
What is the   52  of studying towns in the way? For me, it is   53  that one gets a greater depth of pleasure by visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes. A   54  visit to a town may help one better understand why it is attractive   55  just reading about it in a guide-book.

36.A  37.B  38.D  39.A 40.C  41.A  42.D  43.C  44.B

解析36. guide-book in hand是獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)，作狀語，表示方式。
37. 了解一座城市的方式很多，其中之一就是環(huán)城徒步旅行，當(dāng)然，我們還可以借助guide-book來研究（study）其歷史和特有的（special）的發(fā)展并了解他們。我們不能借助導(dǎo)游手冊來寫（write）其歷史，也不需要講述（tell）和記憶（remember）其歷史。
38. special是指這個城市所特有的。
39.上文講我們可以借助導(dǎo)游手冊研究其歷史和發(fā)展，下文講如果我們從容一點(diǎn)，在一個城市小住幾天，則對其了解更多。此間有轉(zhuǎn)折的意思。
40. 略
41. look at 在本題中有“考慮，判斷”的意思，look at …as a whole意思是“從整體上看”。
42.下文有動詞answer，此處是先行詞，在定語從句中用answer的賓語，只有questions才能構(gòu)成動賓關(guān)系。
43.介詞like意思是“像”。
44. run在這里意思是“延伸；延續(xù)；繼續(xù)”（stretch）。例如：The road runs along the river bank. 這條路沿著河邊一直延伸。
45. in any other way以其它方式
46. fail在這里的意思是“使……失望”。從上下文看出，導(dǎo)游手冊也不能回答以上這些問題。
47. present adj 現(xiàn)在的，當(dāng)前的。
48. the original design of a town一座城市最初的設(shè)計(jì)。
49. what it used to look like 城市過去的樣子，與上文the original design of a town相響應(yīng)。
50.選項(xiàng)A是疑問代詞，用在此處語法結(jié)構(gòu)錯誤；選項(xiàng)C和D分別指這座城市首次建造的時間和地點(diǎn)，與上文the original design of a town和what it used to look like沒有聯(lián)系；選項(xiàng)B表示這座城市設(shè)計(jì)建造的方式。
51.與上句一致，意思是人們還能更多地了解這座城市未來繼續(xù)發(fā)展方向。
52. point在本句的意思是“用途，目的”。Begin your work now. There’s no point in wasting time. 現(xiàn)在就開始你的工作吧，耗時間沒用。
53. nearly幾乎；generally一般地；hardly幾乎不，都不符合題意。simply僅僅，只是。作者以這種方式去了解一座城市的原因很簡單，僅僅是通過親眼去看，去感受一個人就能更獲得更大的快樂。
54. personal親自的，親身的，與上一句里的visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes意思相一致。
55.前面有比較級better，這里當(dāng)然用介詞than。
