參考答案：
23.A 本段講的是有關華爾街的情況，華爾街是美國的金融中心。
24.C 這一段介紹了紐約的交通設施，如地鐵、公共汽車和出租車，以及使用時應注意的地方。
25.F 第五段集中介紹了中央公園。
26.D 這一段不長，簡單地介紹了紐約的第五大街，這是富人的購物天堂。
27.F 原句在語法上已經完整，填入的.部分是有關價格的，當時荷蘭人買下曼哈頓的價錢在今天看來僅是個微不足道的小數。表示價格用介詞for，這裏for的後面跟的是what引導的名詞性從句。
28.A 這裏填入的是和動詞go並列的成分，在所給的六個選項中符合條件的只有A和D，但從意義上看應該填入的是A.
29.E place提示了後面很有可能是一個用where引導的定語從句，在六個選項中有兩個用where開始的從句，但B的意義顯然不符，故應用E.
30.C 句中的more attractive提示了後面很可能有用than引導的從句。
