Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It was a rainy morning and the children, mainly boys with various learning difficulties, refused to settle for the start o
19、f the lesson. As an inexperienced teacher, I tried every means to get them to be 36 , but in vain. My panic was rising and I could feel my heart beating wildly. This was the 37 of my job as a music teacher, I thought - teaching was not for me. Then I had an idea. Hoping that no one would notice that
20、 I was 38 inside, I threw my voice as far as it would reach: Put your heads on the desks and close your 39 ! We are going on a journey. 40 , the children fell silent. Now what should I do? I thought to myself. Reaching over to my collection of CDs, I blindly 41 , put it in the machine and played it.
21、Obediently (顺从地), my class lay their heads on their desks, closed their eyes and 42 . When the music started, the room was filled with the most beautiful tones and musical colors I could have ever imagined. All the children were 43 . When the music finished, I asked them all to raise their 44 slowly
22、 so that we could share our musical journeys.At this point, when all the children were willing to share their experiences, I began to learn how to 45 .

25、Section C (12 marks)Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.Research has become both simpler and more complex. Its simpler because, 48 if you have a computer, you can find information you need by searching the Internet. For all you
26、r information, you dont have to go to 49 library to find the relevant resource and take notes on it. Instead, you can find some sources from the Internet 50 print the copies needed. Remember, however, that you should usually consult different types of sources. That is, you 51 always rely just on the
27、 Internet for you research.While finding information is easier than ever, at the same time, researching has become 52 complex. There is a lot more material available, which means you may be overwhelmed 53 the amount of information. You need to learn 54 to sort through and find the relevant informati
28、on for your particular project. Also, 5547 need to check the accuracy of it.Part Reading Comprehension (30 marks)Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B. C and D. Choose
29、 the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AForget Cyclists, Pedestrians are Real Danger We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our readers. Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians
30、are probably the worse offenders. People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade
31、 (避让) them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision. The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others. Michael Horan I loved the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclis
32、ts (Viewpoints, May 29). I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads. I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me. The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used. The police do nothing.
33、 What a laugh they are! The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的) jackets and lights at night and in the morning. They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them. Carol Harvey Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are m
34、eant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red. I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him. Other road users, including horse rid
35、ers, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists? Its about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident, at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim. JML Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper.56. Michael
36、Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that _.A. drivers should be polite to cyclistsB. road accidents can actually be avoidedC. some pedestrians are a threat to road safetyD. walking while using phones hurts ones eyes57. Carol Harvey suggests that cyclists should _.A. be provided with enough roadsB.
37、 be asked to ride on their own lanesC. be made to pay less tax for cyclingD. be fined for laughing at policemen58. What is a complaint of JML?A. Very few drivers are insured.B. Cyclists ride fast on pavements.C. Pedestrians go through red traffic lights.D. Horse riders disrespect other road users.59
38、. The underlined word they in the third letter refers to _.A. accidentsB. vehiclesC. pedestriansD. cyclists60. The three letters present viewpoints on _.A. real source of road dangerB. ways to improve road facilitiesC. measures to punish road offencesD. increased awareness of road rulesBIn its early
39、 history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies, No
40、, thanks. Ive got a good horse under me.The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system, but there simply wasnt enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.An engineer named
41、 Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the citys streets by as much as 12 feet.This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago.
42、Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy struc
43、tures like the Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building?Thats where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successfully. To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the buildings foundation. One man
44、 was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullmans signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didnt even
45、 notice anything was happening.Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicagos early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicagos waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the citys next step was to clean the poll
46、uted river.61. The author mentions the joke to show _.A. horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB. Chicagos streets were extremely muddyC. Chicago was very dangerous in the springD. the Chicago people were particularly humorous62. The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to_.A. get rid of the street dirtB. lower the Chicago RiverC. fight against heavy floodsD. build the pipes above ground63. The underlined word hoist in Paragraph 4 means _.A. changeB. liftC
