that they can’ t find time for the midterm elections. In the 1998 midterms, coverage was down by more than half over 1994. And it’ s falling again— a parison of news coverage in 10 states shows the midterm election is getting 13 percent less coverage this year than in 1998. When Journalists deign to cover elections, they magnify the very things they rail against. Candidates are ignored or portrayed as boring if they run issuebased campaigns. Attack sound bites get airtime。 positive statements land on the cuttingroom floor. 43) ____________ _________________________________. It‘s not surprising voters are disenchanted with campaigns. During the 2020 election, as part of the Vanishing Voter Project at Harvard University‘s Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy, we interviewed 100,000 Americans to discover why they‘re disengaging from elections. 44) _________________________________________________________. Officials unfailingly urge citizens“ to do your duty and vote.” Yet, these officials embrace policies that make it harder to do that. 45) ____________________________________. So look for a small turnout Tuesday, but don’ t ask citizens to look in the mirror. Some or them have cast their eye on what’ s going on in candidate— land media— land and are asking why they should be bit players in that artifice. [A] Electoral petition is key to democracy, and America’ s voters aren’ t getting the full benefit of that. Only a couple of dozen of this year’ s 435 US House races are petitive. Two years ago, percent of incumbents won, typically by margins of 70 percent or more. 新增题型全突破 7/73 [B] True leadership has bee so rare that politicians may no longer even dream of stepping forward to say something other than what polls tell them is safe. Tuesday‘s election will surely pass without much of a debate on the momentous foreign and domestic issues facing the nation. [C] Amid the uproar over Florida‘s ballot irregularities, no mentator has seen fit to ask why polls there close at 7 . Florida is one of 26 states that close their polls before 8 . Unsurprisingly, turnout in these states is several percentage points below that of states where polls are open until 8 . or later. [D] As for trivial issues, why did candidate Bush‘s 1970s drunk—driving arrest get more time on the work newscasts in the final days of the 2020 election than Gore‘s foreign policy statements got in the entire general election? [E] No doubt, ordinarily Americans share responsibility for their lapse in participation。 it is always easier to leave the work of democracy to others. [F] Today, 87 percent of Americans reside in states that close registration two weeks or more before the election. The majority of unregistered Americans who otherwise would cast a vote are out of luck. Only six states allow election—day registration. [G] Their responses tell the story: 81 percent believe ―most political candidates will say almost anything to get themselves elected‖。 75 percent feel ―political candidates are more concerned with fighting each other than with solving the nation‘s problems.‖ 【总体分析】 本篇介绍的是美国人对选举的兴趣日渐减少，并分析了相关的几个原因。 第一段揭示事情本身，后几段分析原因。 就本篇而言，对文章前后结构层次的把握非常重要。 【详细解答】 41． E 本题考察段落内部的逻辑联系，空格的下文说“ But it’ s time to stop blaming the citizens.”，可见上文必然说到有人指责普通公民们不热衷于美国的政治选举。 故答案为 E。 42． B 本题考察考生对文章的总体结构的把握能力。 既然第二段末句说“ Candidates, public officials, and journalists are not giving Americans the type of campaign they deserve ”，而且第三段又说到了officials，下文又将说到 journalists，可以断定，本段应说“ candidates”，即“ leadership” ,故 B 项为答案。 43． D 本题考察段落内部的逻辑理解，注意相应的词汇表达。 既然空格前讲的是 journalists 对政治家的正面言论不感兴趣，弃置编辑室地板，而攻击性的言论却被直播 (Attack sound bites get airtime。 positive statements land on the cuttingroom floor)，那么可以推论， D 项是最符合逻辑的展开内容， 用词也密切相关（ get more time on the work newscasts）。 44． G 本题涉及段落内部逻辑的把握。 既然上文说“ we interviewed 100,000 Americans to discover why they’re disengaging from elections.”，那么答案为 G，也就很符合逻辑了。 45． F 本题同样涉及段内逻辑，既然上文说“ Officials unfailingly urge citizens to do your duty and vote.. Yet, these officials embrace policies that make it harder to 新增题型全突破 8/73 do that”（官员们催使公民行驶职责，参加选举，但另一方面又制定政策，使公民们很难参加投票选举），那么符合逻辑的答案必定是 F 项了。 Text 2 Directions In the following article, some sentences have been removed.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points) The place is a lovely meadow surrounded by deep woods on a hilltop overlooking a beautiful lake in the Catskill Mountains 120 miles from New York. It is quarter past eight in the morning, and you are about to mute to your office in the city. Yet there is no paved highway nearer than fifteen miles, and it is fifty to a railroad station. 41) __________________________________________. The aircraft, looking oddly like a horizontal electric fan, drones toward you. When the pilot is directly overhead, all forward movement of the machine ceases and it descends vertically until the cabin door is within a foot of the ground. On the machine‘s gray side is painted Helicopter Express to New York. The door opens and you step inside. Fifty minutes later the helicopter bus hovers over a midtown New York building, descends slowly to alight on a roof space some sixty yards square. You go into the building, take the elevator to the street below, and walk half a block to your office. Not quite an hour has elapsed since you drank your morning coffee in your home. 42) ______________________________________. In the air age of tomorrow, the manu。
