Under these silences there was a / an orchestra o

16、f natural music playing notes no city child would ever hear. A certain cackle from the henhouse meant we had gained an egg. The creak of a porch swing told of a momentary breeze blowing across my grandmothers yard. As I _42_ along a mossy bank to surprise a frog, a _43_splash told me the quarry had

17、spotted me and slipped into the stream. Wandering among the sleeping houses, I learned that tin roofs crackle under the power of the sun, and when I tired and came back to my grandmothers house, I padded into her dark cool living room, lay _44_ on the floor, and listened to the hypnotic beat of her

18、pendulum clock on the wall ticking the meaningless hours away. I was enjoying the luxuries of a rustic nineteenth-century boyhood, but for the women Morrisonville life had few _45_. Their lives were hard, endless, dirty labor. For baths, laundry, and dishwashing, they hauled buckets of water from a

19、spring at the foot of a hill. To heat it, they chopped kindling to fire their wood stoves. They boiled laundry in tubs, scrubbed it on washboards until knuckles were _46_, and wrung it out by hand. Ironing was a business of lifting heavy metal weights heated on the stove top. They scrubbed floors on

20、 hands and knees, thrashed rugs with carpet beaters, killed and plucked their own chickens, baked bread and parties, grew and conned their won vegetables, patched the familys clothing on treadle-operated sewing machines, _47_before the men to start the stove for breakfast and pack lunch pails, polis

21、hed the chimneys of kerosene lamps, and even found time to tend the flowers that grew around every house. By the end of a summer day a Morrisonville woman had toiled like a serf. At sundown the men drifted back from the fields exhausted and _48_. They scrubbed themselves in enamel basins and, when s

22、upper was eaten, climbed up onto the porch to watch the night arrive. Presently the women _49_ them, and the twilight music of Morrisonville began. The swing creaking , rocking chairs _50_ on the porch planks, voices murmuring approval of the sagacity of Uncle Irvey as he quietly observed for probab

23、ly the ten-thousandth time in his life, “A man works from sun to sun, but a womans work is never done.”. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits

24、the context. “Just the man I was looking for,” said a voice at Winstons back. He turned round. It was his friend Syme, who worked in the Research Department. Syme was a philologist, a specialist in Newspeak. Indeed, he was one of the enormous team of experts now _51_ in compiling the Eleventh Editio

25、n of the Newspeak dictionary. “How is the dictionary _52_?” asked Winston. “Slowly,” said Syme. “Im on the adjectives. Its fascinating.” He had _53_ immediately at the mention of Newspeak. “The Eleventh Edition is the definitive edition,” he said. Were getting the language into its final shape - the

26、 shape its going to have when nobody speaks anything else. When weve finished with it, people like you will have to learn it all over again. You think, I dare say, that our chief job is inventing new words. But not a bit of it! Were _54_words - scores of them, hundreds of them, every day. Were cutti

27、ng the language down to the _55_. The Eleventh Edition wont _56_ a single word that will become obsolete before the year 2050.” His thin dark face had become animated and his eyes had grown almost dreamy. “Its a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. It isnt only the synonyms, there are also the

28、 antonyms. After all, what justification is there for a word which is simply the opposite of some other words? A word contains its _57_in itself. Take good, for instance. If you have a word like good, what need is there for a word like bad? Ungood will do just as well - better, because its an exact

29、opposite, which the other is not. Or again, if you want a stronger version of good, what sense is there in having a whole string of _58_useless words like excellent and splendid and all the rest of them? Plusgood covers the meaning, or doubleplusgood if you want something _59_ still. Of course we su

30、e those forms already, but in the final version of Newspeak therell be nothing else. In the end the whole notion of goodness and badness will be covered by only six words - in reality, only one word. Dont you see the beauty of that, Winston?” A sort of vapid eagerness fitted across Winstons face. Ne

31、vertheless Syme immediately detected a certain _60_ of enthusiasm. “You havent a real appreciation of Newspeak, Winston,” he said almost sadly. “In your heart youd prefer to _61_ to Oldspeak with all its vagueness and its useless shades of meaning. You dont grasp the beauty of the destruction of words. Do you know that Newspeak is the only language in the world whose vocabulary gets smaller every year? Dont
