TEXT CEvery morning at four-thirty, sixty concrete trucks—from Brooklyn, from Queens, from New Jersey— race in the dark over bridges and through tunnels and converge at the intersection of West and Verse Streets, where One World Trade Center is going up. Concrete is perishable, A load will spoil in ninety minutes once it has left the hatching plant. The trucks pull up to the construction site. They dump their loads into big baskets with hydraulic pumping systems. Eleven thousand three hundred tons of superstructure steel are waiting. The other day, Chris Ward, the executive director of the Port Authority, which is supervising the project, stood three hundred feet in the air, on what will be the twentieth of One World Trade Center’s hundred and four floors, and said, "This site will be understood by the public on how well this tower rises, but the real metric is how quickly the concrete gets poured. " Toward the building’s core, where office workers will one day ride elevators, members of Local 46 of the Metallic Lathers and Reinforcing Ironworkers union were torch-cutting rebar. Sparks flew. Below, tiny fluorescent-vested figures trundled dollies and hoisted planks in what looked like a scene from "Fraggle Rock. "Ward, who is fifty-five, took the Port Authority job in May of 2008. He inherited a huge, politically impossible mess: nineteen public agencies, two developers, a hundred and one contractors, and thirty-three architects have stakes in the World Trade Center redevelopment project.

Thanks to him, a memorial will be completed in time for the tenth anniversary of September 11th—sooner than it might have been, but, for a lot of people, not soon enough.

城市是一粒粒精致的银扣，缀在旷野的黑绿色大氅上，不分昼夜地熠熠闪光。 我所说的旷野，泛指崇山峻岭，河流海洋，湖泊森林，戈壁荒漠……一切人烟罕至保存原始风貌的地方。 旷野和城市，从根本上讲，是对立的。 人们多以为和城市相对应的那个词，是乡村。其实乡村不过是城市发育的低级阶段。再简陋的乡村，也是城市的一脉兄长。 惟有旷野与城市永无声息地对峙着。城市侵袭了旷野昔日的领地，驱散了旷野原有的驻民，破坏了旷野古老的风景，越来越多地以井然有序的繁华，取代我行我素的自然风光。 城市是人类所有伟大发明的需求地，展览厅，比赛场，评判台。如果有一双慧眼从宇宙观看夜晚的地球，他一定被城市不灭的光芒所震撼。旷野是舒缓的，城市是激烈的。旷野是宁静的，城市喧嚣不已。旷野对万物具有强大的包容性，城市几乎是人的一统天下……
Language comprehension is generally viewed in cognitive theory asconsisting of active and complex processes in which individuals constructmeaning from aural or written information. It is commonly proposed thatthe mental processes necessary for comprehending aural and written textsare sufficiently similar which comprehension of both can generally be (1)______discussed as common phenomenon. Comprehension is generally (2)______differentiated into three interrelated processes: perceptual processing,parsing (grammatical analysis), and utilization. In perceptual processing,attention focuses on the oral or written text, in portions of the text being (3)______retained in short-term memory. The capacity limitations of short-termmemory prevent specific word sequences from retained longer than a few (4)______seconds, as new information on which the person attends replaces the old (5)______information in short-term memory. In parsing, the second comprehensionprocess, words and phrases are used to construct meaningful mentalrepresentations of text. Individuals first decode the individual words by (6)______matching the aural or visual pattern of the word with their representation in (7)______the declarative knowledge stored in long-term memory. The result ofdecoding is lexical access, and a matching between words in short-term (8)______memory and a type of dictionary in long-term memory that enables us toidentify the meanings of individual words. The third process, utilization,composes of relating a mental representation of the text meaning to (9)______declarative knowledge, which is stored in long-term memory in terms ofeither propositions or schemata. Utilization is the key of comprehension and (10)______the basic determinant that facilitates it. (1)处改错：（）。
