At noon today I said goodbye to New York forever, thus joining that growing group of
people who, for one reason or another, have decided the city is no longer to our liking.
A lot of literature has been written on this 16 —the disenchanted New Yorker—and I've read much of it, but none of the cases seem to fit 17 my feelings about the city. I don't hate New York; there is really nothing there to hate and 18 very little to love. It is a city of indifference, and that's the problem. I found I could only 19 indifference in return.
A few days ago in Central Park I saw a man leaning on a litter can drinking a carton of orange juice, and when he finished he tossed the container not in the receptacle but on the 20
I don't understand this, but there is a lot about New York I don't understand. 21 ,I don't understand why the city has no soul. Vienna almost suffocates the Viennese with care, Paris manages to inspire 22 own with an obsession for their fulfillment, but New York's key 23 is that it doesn't really care about anything.
I recall, 24 , the New Year's Eve when, after a dinner party, a friend of mine went down to the street to get a taxicab and the cab veered too quickly 25 hit him. His wife and I took him in the cab to Lenox Hill Hospital, and while we were trying to get emergency 26 for him the cabdriver was 27 at us for his fare. Such things may happen in other large cities, and undoubtedly 28 ,they reflect a lack of caring, a sickness in the 29 that I find difficult to forgive and impossible to 30
And so I come to the bottom line. I don't want to live in city where a woman 31 for a lost dog and receives dozens of telephone calls from a variety of people saying they are torturing the animal and will continue to do so 32 she pays large sums of money; or in a city where I am 33 I must always have $10 in my wallet for a possible mugger because without that I will surely be stabbed; or in a city where my mailman leaves a slip in my box at Christmas 34 the size of the tip he expects. Above all I want to get away from the indifference of New York. I want to care and—it sound 35 —be cared about.

17.B 【解析】考查副词辨析。分析上下文含义可知,此处应该填入表示精确的单词,precisely表示的是精确地;正是。所以选择B。
18.A 【解析】考查副词辨析。分析前句 there is really nothing to hate 表达的是没什么可恨的, and 后面连接的应是与之相近的含义。 exactly表示一点也不值得爱, certainly放在句中表示当然也没什么可爱的,与前半句相吻合。故A 选项更符合题义。
19.D 【解析】考查动词辨析。分析句子可知,此句的含义是“我发现我只能寻求到冷漠的回应。"故D 更符合题意。
20.B 【解析】考查上下文语境。根据常识,可以分析出没有扔在垃圾桶里就是扔在了地上,不可能扔在桌子,椅子甚至是树上。故选择B。
21.A 【解析】考查副词辨析。分析句子意思可知,后面这句话主要是表示作者对前面内容的补充,并且表达的是主要无法理解的内容,故选A 是正确的。
22.D 【解析】考查上下文语境。此处在讲完伦敦的冷漠之后,表达了巴黎和其他城市的好,所以此处应使用her来表达对国家的感情。故选D。
