第2题,[组合题]I walked along the sea for about an hour until I began to
feel hungry. It was seven. By that time, I was not far from a
favourite restaurant of mine, where I often went to eat two or three
times a week. I knew the owner well.

my meal. While I was waiting, I looked _6__ to see if I knew anyone
in the restaurant. Then I saw a man sitting at a corner table near

newspaper open in front of him. But I could see that he was keeping
an 7 on me. When the waiter brought my soup, the man was clearly
puzzled (迷惑) by the familiar (熟悉) way that the waiter and I called
each other. He became even more puzzled as time went on. He could

went into the kitchen. After a few minutes he came out again, 9
for his meal and left.
When I had finished, I called the owner of the restaurant over and
asked him what the man had wanted. The owner told me he was a
detective（侦探）. “Really?” I was surprised. “He was certainly 10 in
me. But why?” I asked. “He followed you here because he thought you
were a man he was looking for,” the owner said. “When he came into
the kitchen, he showed me a photo of the wanted man. He certainly
looked like you! Of course, since we know you here, I told him that
he had made a mistake.” It’s lucky I came to a restaurant where I am
known, or I might have been arrested!

第9题,[组合题]As the heat of the summer almost kills the people, people
there have found their place to cool themselves down.
Thousands of Chinese holidaymakers ran into a big problem when they
finally escaped the heat at a wonderful water park—they had no way
to escape each other.Up to 10,000 people went into the water
park—known as the 'Dead Sea' of China — during a spell of high
temperatures in Daying County, in China’s Sichuan province.
With so many people using inflatables(可充气物) to float around the
pool, there is no hope of doing any swimming or diving. But that
didn’t prevent the holidaymakers from having a little fun, as they
played with each other, took photos and enjoyed the socializing(社交),
they didn’t hate being crowded.It can hold up to 10,000 visitors at
once and more than a million people visit every summer, according to
its owners.
The man-made 'sea' was created using rich salt resources in the
region and has 43 different minerals and microelements(微量元素).Because
it has more than 22 per cent of salt, swimmers float freely on the
surface - much as they do in the Dead Sea in the Middle East.
When they’re not in the crowded（拥挤的） pool, visitors can relax at a
spa, take a swing on a golf course or sit back and watch foreign
cheerleaders who entertain the crowds.

第14题,[组合题]Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”? It
is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some
chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a
piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You
may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to
back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair
facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round
the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they
should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should
walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When
the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person
cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music
starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops
again, one more player will be out.
At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits
on the chair when the music stops is the winner.

第16题,[组合题]Now satellites are helping to forecast(预报) the weather.
They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The
satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), because this is
where the weather forms (形成). They send these pictures to the
weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家) can see the weather of any
part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say
how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries
receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the
meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find
that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may
mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their
next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists.
Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the
weather for about 24or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts
for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast
the weather for a week or more ahead (提前).

第18题,[组合题]Henry was an office worker in a big city. He worked very
hard and enjoyed traveling in his holidays.
He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw an
advertisement in a newspaper. “Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks
at West Hill Farm. Good food. Fresh air. Horse riding. Walking.
Fishing. Cheap and interesting.”
“This sounds a good idea,” he thought. “I’ll spend a month at West
Hill Farm. I think I can enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing.
They’ll make a change from sitting by the seaside and swimming.”
He wrote to the farmer. In the letter he said that he would like
to spend all of July there. Then on the first of July, he left for
West Hill Farm.
But four days later, he returned home.
“What was wrong with West Hill Farm?” his best friend, Ed, asked
him. “Didn’t you enjoy country life?”
“Country life was very good,” Henry said. “But there was another
problem.”
“Oh. What?”
“Well,” he said, “the first day I was there a sheep died, and we
had roast mutton for dinner.”
“What’s wrong with that?” Ed asked. “Fresh meat is the best.”
“I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef
for dinner.”
“Lucky you!”
“You don’t understand,” Henry said. “on the third day a pig died
and we had roast pork for dinner.”
“A different meat every day,” Ed said loudly, “and you are
complaining!”
“Let me finish,” Henry said. “on the fourth day the farmer died,
and I didn’t dare (敢)stay for dinner!”
正确答案:
第19题,[组合题]Not many years ago, some farmers were worried because
hawks were taking many of their chicken. The farmers didn’t know
what to do. Finally they went to the country officials and asked for
help.
“Kill the hawks,” the officials said, “We will even pay for them,”
so the farmers began to think of ways to kill the hawks.
The farmers killed many hawks. They no longer had to worry about
their chickens. But they now had a new worry. Field mice were eating
up a lot of the farmers’ grain.
How did this happen?
Hawks eat not only chickens but also field mice. They eat more
field mice than chickens. But the farmers didn’t know this. When
they killed a lot of hawks, they changed the balance.
When people move into a new place, they often destroy many wild
plants. Often these plants are food for the animals. If the animals
can’t find enough plants to eat, they will starve or have to leave
the place.
In one part of the USA, for example the deer there like to eat a
certain kind of wild roses. The mountain lions there eat the deer.
The number of deer, mountain lions and wild roses doesn’t change
much if people leave things as they are.
But people killed many mountain lions in order to protect the
deer. Soon there were so many deer that they ate up all the wild
roses. Then the deer began to eat the green leaves of young trees.
These trees were important to the farmers. So the farmers thought of
ways to protect their trees. Now the deer had nothing to eat, and
many of them died. This was another lesson from nature.
To keep the balance of nature is important for us to remember.

Secretry Richard Riey said in a statement. “We need to be
tough-minded(坚强的) about keeping guns out of our schools and do
everything to keep our children safe.”

and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in
Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded

14-year-old boy killed three high school students and wounded five
