英语首字母填空专项练习题
中考主观完形填空解题技巧
主观型完形填空即首字母填空也称为型完形填空。它的特点是将一篇文章中若干个词“掏空”，留下该词的首字母，它既作为提示又作为，让我们根据短文的意思把单词拼写完整，使文章连贯。学生们在通读全文、掌握大意的前提下，采用先易后难，再逐项填空的应试策略。做题时要通过字里行间来捕捉信息，既要理清逻辑，又要综合考虑，最后通过复读全文来消除疏漏。给首字母填空类短文的阅读题属于能力测试的范畴，它考查的范围极广，可以是英语知识的方方面面，还可能涉及其它学科。它要求考生在充分理解短文的基础上将单词拼写出来，并且单词形式合理，符合语法规范，符合短文需要。
常用的答题技巧如下：
1. 通读短文知大意，看整体全面了解
与阅读理解题和其它类型的完形填空一样，首先要通读短文，了解文章的大意。每篇短文段落之间必然承上启下、前呼后应。因此通读全文时要一气呵成，只要能了解短文的大意即可，细节不理解可以跳过。因此，在解题之前通读一遍短文，目的是对文章有个全面的了解，弄清其中心思想和大意。
2. 复读短文抓信息，前后照应巧猜词
在了解文章大意的前提之下再次通读短文，目的是对短文有更进一步的了解。在阅读时要特别注意一篇文章的开头（一般不设空）和结尾，它们能提供主要的信息，帮助了解
1
全文所描述的事件或文章的中心思想。在阅读过程中，要注意上、下文的关系，这对于把握文章的整体意义大有用处。另外，要学会跳读，即对不理解的地方采用暂时回避的方式，待真正理解全文之后再找解决的方法。有些短文填空题，有时出现约 3%~5% 的生词是很正常的，这就要求学生根据构词知识或上、下文的意思加以猜测，来确定它的词义。
3. 反复推敲多分析，慎重答题讲合理
再次通读短文，对留空的句子进行全面的分析，看它在全文中所处的位置、作用和意义。这一遍阅读要求是精心阅读，要留心找出关键词、短语或句子，还要结合所给首字母的提示，进行填写，并注意单词的正确形式。
4. 认真复查全文，把握整体和词形
做完以后，再认真读一遍，检查所填写的单词是否与文章要求相符，文章是否通顺，前后是否呼应，有无句型结构及语法错误。从实际中看，很多学生能够充分利用词首字母和短文内容填写单词，但是，问题往往出现在单词的形式变化上。比如填 q ，要求填写 quickly ，而多数考生只知道填写 quick ，忽略了词性问题。因此，深思熟虑很重要。

Do you know Sweden(瑞典)？It l 1 in the north of Europe．It is the fourth largest country in Europe with an a 2 of 450, 000 square kilometers and the population of about 8.5 million. Over one third of them live in the three largest cities, namely Stockholm, Goteborg and Malmo. More than half of Sweden is c 3 with trees. It is one of the r 4 countries in the world. About 100 years ago
2
Sweden became industrialized(工业化). Today less than one third of the people are f 5 . Sweden is the country where the famous Nobel Prizes are awarded. Many people who have been to Stockholm, the c 6 of Sweden, must have visited the places where Nobel Prizes are awarded. The first language of Sweden is Swedish. English is the first f 7 language in schools. Many middle-school students can s 8 two to three languages. Most of the Swedish people，men and women, o 9 and young, can speak English. So there is no p 10 to speak with them in English． 二 I still remember visiting Moscow. It is the capital of Russia, the b 1 country in the world. I went there w 2 my parents when I was eight years old. I lived and studied there for one year, I had some happy memories. One of the most interesting things of that city was that t 3 were many dogs. Perhaps Russians l 4 dogs very much. You can see dogs here and there. Almost each of the families had a dog. I made friends with many Russian children w 5 I was living and studying there. They were all very nice. They had fair hair and fair skin. I played with them h 6 though I could only speak a little Russian at first. They were f 7 to me. The weather in Moscow was very cold. It snowed almost every in winter. The ground was always c 8 with a lot of snow. We often made s
3
9 together. Now I am b 10 in China, but I miss them so much. I will never forget my happy memories of this visit to Moscow. 三 These years, with the development of society, more and more teenagers have suffered from stress. Some of the problems can make them feel very w 1 and unhappy all day. Who can help them? A teacher from a college tried his best to help them. He thought of a lot of w 2 to help them. On Monday and Thursday, you can v 3 him. Here are some ideas how to keep the young men healthier in every way. F 4 , it is very important to keep healthy. To get e 5 sleep every day is also necessary. Try to have a healthy d 6 . Secondly, maybe you are not the top students. It doesn’t m 7 . The most important thing is to work hard. If you try your best, your teachers and parents will understand you. If you have some problems, you should be a 8 to talk with your teachers and parents. They can help you. Remember to s 9 your happiness and s 10 with your good friends. Sometimes you can go out for a walk. In a word, you can try to make you happy by yourselves. I’m sure you can be happy every day. 4
四 Before windows were used, old h 1 in Europe（欧洲）and Britain were very dark. Their great rooms were high w 2 only one hole in the roof（屋顶）to let the smoke o 3 from cooking fire. Later, people began to make the holes b 4 to have more light and air in their homes. The first English window was j 5 a small opening（口，孔）in the wall. It was cut long to let in as m 6 light as possible, and narrow to keep out the bad w 7 . But, more wind than light would c 8 in if the window was cut long. This is why it was c 9 “The wind’s eye”. And the word “w 10” comes form two ancient（古代的）words for “wind” and “eye”. 五 Thirty years ago, I walked into your bakery and asked for some loaves(条) of bread to sell. At that time, I was 12 years old. A young lady s 1 me that day. She gave me five loaves and wished me good l 2 . I took the loaves and went out to sell them. It t 3 me all day, but I sold them all. At the e 4 of the day, I had some money. I was the h 5 boy in the world as I walked home that evening. The next day, I went to a bicycle shop. I paid a deposit(定金) on a new bicycle.. And then I started my next j 6 as a newspaper delivery() boy. Soon I c 7 pay the rest of the money for the bicycle and the bike was mine. I was so proud of m 8 ! 5
Today I still work in the delivery business. I have a lot of trucks to send goods all over the country. I live in a beautiful house, but I don’t ride a bicycle these days. I drive a large nice car. I don’t know e 9 that young lady was. But b 10 she gave me the start, I have become a successful man. I’d like to show my thanks to her. 六 Long ago, people used bells more t 1 they do today. The postmen used to ring a hand bell when they delivered letters. Fire engines had bell I 2 of sirens(号笛). People who sold things came past houses, ringing a bell and shouting w 3 was for sale. Every village had its church bell to let people know it was t 4 to go to church. At night, this bell was ringing so that travelers would find the village in the d 5 . In most countries bells were hung r 6 the necks of animals. The bells helped owners to find lost cows or sheep. Today, in India, animals still wear bells. Now bells are used l 7 and less, Buzzers, sirens and horns have t 8 their place. Now people try to keep the old bells in school and churches so t 9 they will not l 10 their beautiful sounds for ever. 七 Life gets noisier every day and very f 1 people can be free from noise of some kind or another. W 2 you live in the centre of a modern city or a village far away --- the chances that you will be disturbed by planes, cars, radios, etc. are 6
almost everywhere. We seem to be used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely w 3 background music while they are working. Tests have s 4 that total silence can be very frightening experiences. H 5 , some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their ears. The noise level in some places is far a 6 the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas. One recent report about noise said that a 7 a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their attention, only a sudden c 8 in the level of noise really affects people’s attention. It goes on to say that a background noise, which doesn’t change too much (music, for example) may even help people to pay attention. People are testing ways to make less noise. There are even laws c 9 noise. We can’t r 10 to the “ good old days ” of peace and quiet. But we can make less noise --- if we shout loudly enough about it 八 There are t 1 many accidents in cities. Accidents often happen when people c 2 the roads or streets. Read the passage c 3 and learn to be careful later on. Be careful when it is r 4 . Many accidents happen on rainy days. People are in a h 5 because they don’t want to get w 6. They often cross the roads quickly. Often they can’t see c 7 as they hold their umbrellas in front of t 8 . Remember that cars take l 9 time to stop when the roads are wet. When it is raining, we must be more and 7
more careful, not l 10 careful. 九 Most American families are smaller than the families in other c 1 . Children in the US will l 2 their parents’ homes. When they grow up, they usually live f 3 from their parents because they want to f 4 good jobs. They often w 5 to their parents or telephone them. And they often go to v 6 their parents on holiday. Parents usually let their children choose their o 7 jobs. Americans think it I 8 for young people to decide on their lives by themselves. Children are asked to do some work around their houses. And in many families, Children are p 9 for doing some housework so that they can learn h 10 to make money for their own use. 十 Someone says: “Time is money,” but I think time is e 1 more important than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can get it back. However, when time is g 2 , it will never r 3 . That’s why we mustn’t waste time. It goes without saying that the t 4 is usually limited（有限的）. Even a second is very important. We should make full use of our time to do s 5 useful. But it is a pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the I 6 of time. They spent their limited time smoking, drinking and p 7 . They do not know that wasting time means wasting part of their own l 8. In a word, we should save time. We shouldn’t l 9 today’s work for tomorrow. Remember we have n 10 time to lose. 8

Andy was born in China 15 years ago．In 2005, she m 1 to the USA with her family．As a high school student，she has found many differences b 2 Chinese and Americans：
About money
1) Americans like to spend m 3 than they have，so many of them are always in debt(欠债)．But Chinese usually spend less than they have, so many 0f them always have m 4 left in the bank．
2) The American kids themselves make their own money．Most Chinese kids always a 5 their parents for money．
3) Many American parents think there is n 6 need to send their children t0 an expensive university．It’s different in China．Many Chinese parents would do anything to send their children to expensive universities t 7 their family isn’t rich enough．
About school
1) Many American girls take part in sports，dancing and singing groups while many Chinese girls take part in study groups．
2) Many American students think that B is good while many Chinese students
9
think that B is too b 8 . About friends Most American parents let their sons or daughters make friends by t 9 . They never ask them about their friends while Chinese parents usually enjoy knowing more about their children’s friends i 10 many different ways，and usually stop them from staying out too late with friends． 十二 Do you have bright ideas? Ideas for inventions that c 1 the world or, at least, make life easier for somebody. P 2 we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea a real thing. Recently, there was a competition in a country, which e 3 young people to make their bright ideas come true. There were t 4 groups in the contest: Group A was for school children under 16; Group B was for those o 5 1 6. And there were eleven prize-winners altogether. Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was c 6 “Sunshine Superman” by one newspaper writing about his design. When people study the weather, it’s important to be able to record the sunshine accurately(准确地，精确地). We need to know how many h 7 of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders o 8 record direct (直接的) sunshine. Neil’s is more accurate and this is very i 9 for research into ways of using solar power（太阳能）. Neil plans to keep inventing. 10
The ideas in the competition were so g 10 that we are surprised that the industry (工业界) doesn’t ask more school children for suggestions.

British teenagers can leave school at sixteen after taking their GCSE exams. They study for exams in as many as ten subjects, s 1 they have to work pretty hard! Today’s teens spend more time doing their homework than any teenagers in the past, s 2 for 2.5 – 3 hours every evening.
Free Time
It’s not all work, of course. What do British teenagers do to have f 3 ? They love watching TV, going out, meeting friends in Internet cafés and listening to music.
Communications
In addition to the Internet, teenagers in Britain use their computers to play games and do their homework. They a 4 love their mobile phones, and spend hours texting (发短信) their friends and chatting. Today, phones are getting smaller and lighter and you can do a lot more w 5 them than just talk. Text messaging has b 6 the coolest and most popular way to communicate. More than 90% of 12- to 16-year-olds have a mobile, and experts say that this stops t 7 from spending their money on sweets and cigarettes.
11
Fashion (服饰) At school, almost all British teenagers have to w 8 a school uniform. However, in their free t 9 they can wear whatever they like, and what they like is designer names such as Nike, Diesel and Paul Smith. In fact, 40% of British teens say that they think it is important to have the latest fashion. Looking good doesn’t come c 10 , but many teenagers think it usual or easy to spend more than ￡100 on one item of clothing. 十四 My nine-year-old daughter, Maria, is in Year Four. Every evening we get into h 1 battles (争执). Three afternoons a week, she has a 2 (net-ball, singing) after school and by the time we get home, homework is the l 3 thing she feels like doing. The other two days, she gets home early and we argue (争论) about w 4 she should do her homework r 5 after school, or if she should have some time to rest and play f 6 When Maria at last sits down to do her homework, she seems to want me there helping all the time. I do want to help her, but I'm s 7 that she is going to need to be able to do it on her o 8 And in f 9 , most of the time, I have other things I need to be doing. It seems that children these days have much more homework than we did, and some of it is really beyond (超越) their a 10 .As you can see, I'm really worried about homework and I really don’t know what I should do. Any ideas? 12

When you finish high school or university, is learning done? The answer is “no”. In many countries, people continue learning all their lives. Why is lifelong (终身的)learning important? How can it help you? Let’s look at one e 1 of lifelong learning in Japan.
You go to school and learn. You study. You take tests B 2 learning doesn’t only happen in school. Learning doesn’t s 3 when you graduate from high school or college. You are learning all the time. For example, learning can h 4 when you go to a museum. It can
a 5 happen when you get a job. You learn when you p 6 a sport or when you take a trip. Learning is l 7 ! We never stop learning. Every day you can improve yourself by learning something n 8 .
In Japan, lifelong learning is very important. People in Japan like to try new learning a 9 . Music, calligraphy (书法) and foreign languages are some of their f 10 classes. Japanese take classes to improve their skills and learn new things.
When we graduate from school, we can continue to learn. Make lifelong learning become one of your goals!

On May 23, six pandas left an important panda base (基地) in Wolong, southwest China’s Sichuan Province, because of damaged (损坏的) s 1 and food shortages after the May 12 earthquake, a local official said.
The pandas were t 2 by trucks from China Giant Panda Protection and Research
C 3 to Ya’an, another base less affected by the earthquake, said Xiong Beirong, an official of Sichuan Provincial Forestry Bureau (林业局).
Eight other pandas l 4 for the Chengdu Research Base on May 18. They will be carried by China Southern Airlines (CSA) to Beijing, where they will s 5 at the Beijing Zoo, said Wolong director Zhang Hemin.
Liu Shaoyong, a leader of CSA, said the pandas were scheduled (预定) to leave Chengdu at 3 p.m. Saturday. They will travel on a Boeing 747-700 plane with bamboo a 6 water.
“There is e 7 water now, b 8 food is still a big problem. The pandas need bamboos and apples.” Xiong Beirong said.
After the earthquake, tons of bamboo shoots, apples, eggs, milk powder and medicines were brought to the center, but the supplies could only l 9 about a week, she said.
14
There are about 1,590 pandas l 10 in the wild in China, mostly in Sichuan and the northwestern provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu. 十七 The mobile phone is a useful thing, but maybe I don't know h 1 to use it. Sometimes it makes things difficult for me. One day I wanted to see my friend nearby. I could a 2 at his house in five minutes, but I looked at my mobile phone and thought I 3 would be better to ring him up. I r 4 him for the first time, but the line was busy. Five minutes later, there was an answer, but it was the wrong number. Then I tried a 5 and this time I got an answer from him. I asked him if he was at home in the afternoon. And he said--at 1 6 I thought he said--he would be at home all afternoon. So I went to his house, but then I found n 7 in. I called him for the fourth time. This time I got so angry that I s 8 , \"You are not at home? But you just told me over the telephone that you would be at home all afternoon!\" Here w 9 his answer, \"No, I said: 'I will NOT be at home all afternoon.'\" I went back to my room, sat down in front of the mobile phone and looked at it. What e 10 could I do? Nothing! 15

We were singing, “Happy birthday to you…” My mother was smiling, surrounded by my father, my little sister and me.
It was time to send wishes. My father said, “You’ve done m 1 things for us. On this special day, let me d 2 all the housework for you.” After kissing my mother, my sister said, “Mum, you’re a g 3 mum in my eyes.” I l 4 at my mother’s eyes and said, “Dear mum, I am always waiting for one day when you and Dad get old.” My parents seemed puzzled (困惑), and I explained, “When you’re old, I will take care of you just like you take care of me.” There were tears in their eyes…
Yes, w 5 they get old, I will take care of them. These words were in my mind f 6 a long time, and at last I said them to my dear parents. I felt v 7 happy.
My parents are just common people, b 8 they’re great. Like other parents, they bring us up with love, and give us food and c 9 . They teach us how to be real people. My parents have done a lot of things for me and I am very thankful to them.
However, they will not always be able to take care of me. One day, they will get old. They may not even be able to take care of t 10 . But that doesn’t matter. I, their child, will take charge.

Passage 1
Here’s a story about Ming’s life on the waters. Ming has lived all his life on a wide r 1 in china. His home is a large house-boat with a roof, one of hundreds that move up and down. In about six years he has not once been on l 2 but he is never lonely. He is a strong swimmer. In fact, he could swim before he could walk. When he wants to play with his f 3 he just swims across to their boats or asks them to v 4 him.
20
Ming’s father is a fisherman, but he never u 5 a line or a net（网）. Great black birds called cormorants do the fishing for him. Rings（圈）have been put around the birds’ n 6 so that they cannot eat the fish they catch. They have been t 7 to bring the fish to people. And then people reward（奖励）them with a fine big fish as soon as their work is f 8 Ming loves watching the cormorants, but better still he likes going s 9 with his mother. The shops, of course, are boats very like his o 10 .
Passage 2
Can animals be made to work for people? Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained（训练）to do a number of simple jobs i 1 of people. They say that at a circus（杂技场）,for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals doing q 2 skillful（熟练的）things. Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film. If you watch closely, you may find that the trainer（驯兽员）always g 3 the animal some sugar o 4 a piece of fruit as a reward（报酬）. The scientists say that many d 5 animals may be trained to do a lot of simple things if they know they will get a reward f 6 doing that.
Of course, as we know, dogs can be trained to look after a house, and soldiers in both old and modern t 7 have u 8 geese to give warning（警报）by m 9 a lot of noise when an enemy comes near. And also it may be possible to train animals to work in families or f 10 .

A kite board may go as f 8 as about 50 kilometres an hour. If you haven’t had any practice, you’d better not play it. It is not s 9 It is said that the game can exercise not only your b 10 but also the sensitivity of your brain（大脑的敏捷）.

The Chinese Government warned some parts in Yunnan and the city of Chongqing of possible heavy rains over the f 3 few days.
In Changsha water levels rose(水位上升) to 38 metres early Monday morning, about 3 metres a 4 the danger line.
In Guangdong, at l 5 21 people have been killed, while three were s 6 hurt and seven went missing w 7 heavy floods hit northern parts by Saturday.
The cities of Shaoguan, Meizhou and Heyuan w 8 hardest hit and many people were left homeless(无家可归).

34
w 4 he painted. This made him laugh. One day, she d 5 lines on his painting. She was only two and a half years o 6 , but her father got angry. She cried and said, “I want to paint like you!” T 7 her father thought about his own childhood. He also wanted to draw and paint. But his parents c 8 understand him. They just got angry.

Passage 25
Dear Editor,
I used to be a doctor in the children’s department of a local h 1 . Sometimes I treated children w 2 have been poisoned(中毒) by medicine for older family members. The children can easily o 3 the bottle that we now use in China.
Some days ago I talked about medicine w 4 an American. He showed m 5 a plastic pill bottle that is “Childproof”(防儿童的). The design was s 6 simple that I’m sure our Chinese factories could produce these b 7 easily. The top of the bottle locks, but can be o 8 by pressing down on it while turning. This is d 9 for most young children to do, b 10 adults can open them without any difficulty.
I’m sure that the expense of making such tops would be very low. As a doctor,
35
I’d love to see this done. And most parents would be grateful.
Passage 26
Climbing a mountain is hard work. But one step after another finally brings a person to the t 1 . Along the way, he can stop and look a 2 . And the h 3 he climbs, the more wonderful his view(视野) is. If he keeps climbing, he will have a new world before him. He will have a new way of t 4 everything.
Now learning a f 5 language is something like climbing a mountain. This new language can give you a new view of life. And it is more than a look at the surface(表面) of things. It can open the way into people’s minds and hearts, into a culture(文化) very d 6 from the one of your own. This will make you richer, e 7 in things that money can’t buy. Even though you never set foot on a ship or a plane, you can be an armchair w 8 through books.
Like the mountain climber who stops now and then to l 9 at the scenery around him, everyone who is interested in reading will find p 10 in books as he fights on to learn more and more of that new language.
Passage 27
It was getting dark. Some children and two Canadian women were still s 1 on the ice near a big hotel. They were having a good time.

Suddenly the ice b 2 . One of the boys fell into the water. The children shouted, “Help! Help!” They didn’t know w 3 to do. The two Canadian friends heard t 4 and skated over to get the boy out of the water.
The ice was t 5 . The two Canadians fell into the water, too. But they tried their best to r 6 the little boy. They knew they must be q 7 . If they didn’t push him up onto the ice, he would soon die.
Many people ran over to h 8 . Some of them had ropes and poles(绳和竹竿). A young man jumped into the water to wave to the o 9 people.
The boy and the two Canadian women were out of water at last. One of the women didn’t feel well. She was sent to the h 10 at once. But she felt very happy because the boy was safe.
Passage 28
Most American families are smaller than the families in other countries. Most American families have one or two p 1 and one or two children each.
Children in the US will leave their parents’ home when they grow up. They usually live f 2 from their parents because they want to find good jobs. They often write to their parents or t 3 them. And they often go to v 4 their parents on holiday.
37
Parents usually l 5 their children choose their own jobs. Americans think i 6 important for young people to decide on their lives by t 7
Children are a 8 to do some work around their house. And in many families, children are p 9 for doing some housework so that they learn how to make money for their own u 10
Passage 29
Most people want to work, but it has become m 1 difficult in today's world to find work for e 2 The economies(经济)of the world n 3 to grow by 4% each year just to keep the old number of jobs for people. Often this is not p 4 and so more people are w 5 work. Some people have no jobs now because new machines can d 6 the work of many people in a shorter time. Also, machines don't ask for more money and l 7 holidays. In all of the countries of the world machines are taking work from people, not only in factories but also on f 8 One machine can often do the work of forty people. About 75000 people are m 9 to the cities a day to look for jobs, but o 10 70% of them can find jobs.
Passage 30
Someone says, “Time is money,” but I think time is even more i 1 than money. Why? Because when money is s 2 we can get it b 3 However, when time is g 4 it’ll never return. That’s w 5 we mustn’t waste(浪费)
38
time. It’s sure that the t 6 is usually limited(有限的).Even a second is very important. We should make full use of our time to do something u 7 But some people don’t know the importance of time. They spend their limited time smoking, drinking and playing. They do not know that wasting time means wasting part of their own l 8
In a word, we should save time, we shouldn’t l 9 today’s work for tomorrow. Remember we have no time to l 10 .
Passage31
Can animals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals may be t 1 to do a number of simple jobs. They s 2 that in a film or on TV we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs, bears, or other animals doing a lot of things. If you w 3 carefully, you may find that those animals are given something to eat in return for d 4 them. The scientists say that many d 5 animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs if they will get something to eat.
Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and elephants can be used to do some heavy j 6 And we can also teach animals to work in f 7 . Apes, for example have b 8 used in America to help make cars and scientists b 9 that these monkeys may one day get in crops and e 10 drive trains.

Passage32
If you don’t use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak; when you start using them again, they will gradually （逐渐地）become stronger again. Everybody knows this. Yet many people do not seem to know that it is the s 1 with memory. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he d 2 give it enough chance to become stronger.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we k 3 that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his p 4 are to blame, and f 5 of us know that it is just his own fault.
Have you e 6 found some people can’t read or write but they usually have b 7 memories? This is b 8 they cannot read or write and they h 9 to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They must remember dates, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
So if you want a good memory, l 10 from these people : practise remembering.
Passage33
When I was walking down the street one day, I s 1 a small bag on the ground. I picked it up and opened it to see w 2 I could find out the owner’s
40
name. There was n 3 inside it except some dollars and a picture of a woman and a young girl about twelve years old. I put the photo back and took the bag to the police station. Before I left, the policeman wrote down my name and my a 4 . He thought the owner might want to thank me.
That evening I went to have dinner with my aunt and uncle. They had also asked a young woman to have dinner with us. Her face was familiar, but I couldn’t r 5 where I had seen her. D 6 our talk, the young woman happened to say that she had l 7 her bag that afternoon. All at once I remembered w 8 I had seen her. She was the young girl in the photo, though she looked now much o 9 than the girl in the picture. She was very s 10 , of course, when I told her about the bag. After dinner we went to the police station and got back her bag. The policeman said to me, “It’s a wonderful thing. You found not only the bag, but also the owner of the bag. ”
Passage34
Only mother love is true love. It gives e 1 everything all his life.
When you are still a baby, mother takes good care of you as much as possible. In your waking hours she always holds you in her arms. When you are ill, she stops her work right now to look after you day and n 2 and forgets about herself. When you are growing up day by day, she feels very happy.
When you are old e 3 to go to school, mother still looks after you all the
41
t 4 . On cold winter days, she always tells you to p 5 on more clothes. She always stands in the wind waiting for you back from school every day. When you hurry to leave home for school with little b 6 , she always feels worried about you at home. She u 7 knows about your study and spend much money on your school things. When you do well at school, you will see the brightest s 8 on her face. Mother can do everything for you day after day.
Mother is always ready to give everything she has to her children, not to receive. What true love that is in the w 9 ! We will r 10 Mother Love for ever!

Passage36
Tim spent in a bookshop can be enjoyable. If you go to a good s 1 , no assistant will come near to you and say, “Can I h 2 you?” You needn’t buy a 3 you don’t want. You may try to find out where the book you want is. But if you w 4 , the assistant will lead you there and then he will go away. It seems that he is not interested i 5 selling any books at all.
There is a story which t 6 us about a good shop. A medical student found a very useful book in a shop, but it is too expensive for him to b 7 . He couldn’t get it from the library, e 8 . So every afternoon he went there to r 9 a little at a time. One day, however, he couldn’t find the book from its usual place and was leaving when he saw an assistant signing to him. To his s 10 , the assistant pointed to the book in a corner, “I put it there so as not to be sold out.” said the assistant. Then he let the student go on with his reading.

Passage38
When you go to England you may find the traffic there is different from ours. As a f 1 . you must be c 2 in the streets, because the traffic d 3 on the left. You must look to the right and then the left before you cross a street.
In the morning and in the evening when people go to or come back from work, the streets are very b 4 . Traffic is most d 5 then.
When you go by bus in England, you have to take care, too. Always r 6 the traffic m 7 on the left. You have to t 8 a look first or you will go to the w 9 way.
44
In many English cities there are big buses with two f 10 . You can sit on the second one. From there you can see the city very well.
Passage39
Which animal do we need m 1 ? Dogs? Horses? No! The a 2 to the question is cows. Why cows? Cows give us milk. And milk is one of our most important k 3 of food.
Suppose(假设)that all the milk cows make in one year were put i 4 bottles. And suppose these bottles were put side by side. The line of bottles would go all around the world 400 t 5 That is a lot of milk, less than half of it is used for d 6 and cooking. Most of it is u 7 to make butter cheese, ice cream and many other things. It takes many cows to give us that m 8 milk. But not as many as it used to. A cow used to give only about 1,500 quarts(夸脱)of milk a year. Now a fine cow may g 9 more than 3,000 quarts in a year.
Why do cows give more milk today? Now farmers have better cows. The cows get better c 10 and better food.
Passage40
Here’s a part of an e-mail answer from Joe giving some advice to his son in college. “When I was young, I often met t 1 about what to do and what not to do. My grandmother told me not to worry about those things. I o 2 did them
45
once a year or once a lifetime. I 3 , I should try to do well those things, and I do them every day. For example, I need to eat every day, so I should learn how to c 4 . I need to talk to o 5 every day, so I should learn how to work with d 6 people and know how to s 7 well. I walk every day, so my s 8 should be all right and comfortable. Every night I sleep, so my bed should let me have a good rest. Taking care of the e 9 things m 10 that you do a better job of the one in a lifetime things as well.”
Passage41
Let me tell you a story. A good friend of mine lives with six hundred animals on an island. Ever s 1 he left school, he has travelled all over the world l 2 for animals for his own zoo. He writes books about his travels, and about his wonderful a 3 . The money for his books helps him to p 4 for all the animal food. My friend told me that when he was looking for water last week (There is not enough water on the island, though there is a lot all around it, he f 5 oil. He n 6 money for his travels and for his zoo, and a little oil would buy e 7 water for a long time, but he knows that if he tells anybody else about it, it will be the e 8 of his zoo and his life’s work. So I think he will not tell anybody e 9 you and me about what he found — because oil and water can’t be p 10 together. Oil may bring greater trouble to his animals than not having enough water. Do you think so?
