One day I can hear the faint rustle of autumn coming. The next day I can’t. One evening summer leaks away into the cool night sky, but the next morning it’s back again. But there is headway. Birdsong has gone, and is【46】______ (replace) by a whining bag-piping of insect creation. I look out across the pasture as dusk【47】______(begin) and see a shining galaxy of airborne bugs. What would it be like, I wonder, to have an【48】aware______of the actual number of insects on this farm?
I ask myself a version of this question every day: "Have you ever really looked at…?”You can【49】______in the blank yourself.
Every day I am blinded by【50】familiar______. I open our beehive, which is filled with honey, and the particularity of the honeybees, and even of their community, somehow escapes me, if only because I’ve been living with honeybees a good part of my life. I remember the phrase, "keep your eyes【51】______ (peel) , ”and maybe that’s what I need, a good peeling.
Again and【52】______, I find myself trying to really look at what I' m seeing. It happened the other afternoon, high on a nearby mountain. A dragonfly had settled on the denuded tip of a pine bough. It clung, still as only a dragonfly can be. Then it flicked upward and caught a midge and settled on the bough again, adjusting【53】______(precise) to the wind. I see dragonflies【54】______ (quiver) in the insect clouds above my pasture, too. I am always aware, however , that there’s no such thing as really looking.
What I want to see is invisible anyway: the prehistoric depth of time embodied in the form. of those dragonflies, the pressure of life itself, the web of【55】______(relate) that bind us all together. I find myself trying to【56】wit______the moment when the accident of life becomes a continued purpose. But this is a small farm, and, being human, 1 keep【57】______(come) up against the limits of what a human can see.
This morning I found a spider resting—or perhaps hunting—on the leaf of a hydrangea, the axis of the spider’s abdomen perfectly aligned with the axis of the leaf. What I noticed was the symmetry of their placement, the way spider, and leaf resembled【58】_____other. What I wanted to determine was the spider’s intent. If I【59】c______, I would have asked it, "What are you doing?” Or, better yet, "Who are you?” But all I could do was look—and realizing that I was looking—make the【60】b______of what I’d seen.

听力原文:Conversations are really kind of interesting. I guess it's a kind of hobby of mine to listen to conversations that I can hear in public. It is amazing how different the style, or the tone or the content of different conversations can be and to listen to the differences in the language that people use when they speak to different people.
If you're ever in a bookstore or department store, it's interesting to hear how the same salesperson talks to different people. There're other interesting places to listen to conversations too. I think, and one place that I've found is on bus trips. People often talk to each other as if no one else were there. I guess they think people can't hear their conversations.
Recently I was on a bus, and I was listening to a conversation of two people behind me. I can't really say I was listening. I guess it would have been hard not to hear it. it was amusing to listen to the two people, though, because they were playing a kind of language, uh, word game about states and state capitals. One person would say the name of the state, and the other person would say the name of the capital.
It sounds like a kind of simple game that doesn't involve much language, and you wouldn't think that it would involve very much conversation, but actually this wasn't the case because they were playing this game. They continued to compliment one another and talk about how much they knew about history and how many of the other things that they could or couldn't remember about those places from their trips or from their reading. It was really kind of fun to listen to them.

A.Criticizing others on bus.
B.Amusing people in pubic.
C.Enjoying talking to people.
D.Listening to people's in public.
