11.Today,roller skating is easy and fun.But a long time ago,it wasn't easy at all.Before 1750,the idea of skating didn't exist.That changed because of a man(33)named(name)Joseph Merlin.
One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball.He was very pleased and a little excited.(34)As the day of the party came near,Merlin began to think (35)how to make a grand entrance at the party.He had an idea.He thought he(36)would get(get) a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.
Merlin tried different ways to make himself (37)roll(roll).Finally,he decided to put two wheels under each shoe.These were the first roller skates.Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party(38)on wheels while playing the violin.
On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin.Everyone(39)was amazed (amaze) to see him.There was just one problem.Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates.He rolled on and on.Suddenly,he ran into a huge mirror(40)which/that was hanging on the wall.Down fell the mirror,breaking to pieces.Nobody forgot Merlin's grand entrance for a long time!

分析 本文介绍了滑旱冰的由来.很久以前,一个名叫Joseph Merlin的人应邀参加一化妆舞会,他很兴奋,想着以一种独特的方式进入会场以吸引更多人的注意力.他想到手谈小提琴,脚蹬滑轮进入会场,但由于不知如何停下以至于滑行了好久撞到了一面镜子才停了下来而给人留下深刻印象.

解答 33.named   a man与Joseph Merlin之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词短语作定语,表示"一个名叫Joseph Merlin的人";故答案为named.    
34.As  本句为一时间状语从句,表示随着晚会日期的临近,用as来引导,表示"随着…,当…的时候";故答案为As.         
35.how 这是疑问词+不定式作动词think宾语的用法,考虑的自然是如何才能在晚会上有个独特的入场方式;故答案为how.        
36.would get  根据后面的条件状语从句if he could skate into the room可知,如果能够滑行着进入现场将能够吸引别人的注意,表示过去将来;故答案为would get.
37.roll  使役动词make后面要用省略to的不定式作宾语补足语;故答案为roll.   
38.on  由前面一句he decided to put two wheels under each shoe可知,他应该是想象着谈着小提琴蹬着滑轮进入会场;即on wheels;故答案为on.
39.was amazed  be amazed to do sth很吃惊的做某事,结合文章的时态为过去时可知答案为was amazed.   
40.which/that  划线处后面的句子缺少主语,结合前面的a huge mirror可知,应该是一个定语从句,用that或者which引导,修饰先行词a huge mirror;故答案为which/that.

点评 本文属于故事类短文填空.对于此种语法填空题要认真分析原文,搞清楚上下文之间的逻辑关系,理顺对话者的核心话题,进而根据语法结构、上下文关系推断出答案.

6.Exploration of the Poles
The North Pole and South Pole are at the top and bottom of the Earth,(25)(al)thoughyou won't find an actual pole to mark the place.The poles are the northernmost and southernmost points on the planet.The poles are the most unfriendly environments on Earth.
In the early 1900s,explorers competed to become the first (26)to reach ( reach ) the South Pole.From 1901to 1904,British naval officer Robert Scott made the first attempt.Scott got (27)farther/further ( far ) south than anyone had been before,but he failed to reach the pole.
In 1909,Ernest Shackleton of Britain led an expedition across Antarctica on sleds pulled by dogs.They were only about 100miles (about 160kilometers) from the South Pole (28)when a shortage of food forced them to turn back.
Scott finally reached the South Pole in January 1912.But (29)disappointed ( disappoint ) Scott found that Roald Amundsen had beaten him by one month.Amundsen's expedition arrived at the pole in December 1911.Amundsen was (30)an experienced Arctic explorer,and he had made careful preparations.Scott and his companions died of injury,cold,and hunger on their return from the pole.
In 1914,Shackleton (31)planned ( plan ) another expedition to the South Pole.But his ship was crushed by ice,and he had to cross 800miles (1,300kilometers) of freezing sea in a tiny boat to survive.Shackleton then returned to save his strandedmen.It was one of the greatest rescue feats in history.
In 1929,Arctic explorer Richard Byrd became the first person who flew over the South Pole.Byrd later pioneered the idea of(32)setting ( set )up permanent stations for scientific research in Antarctica.A station called the Amundsen-Scott Base has stood at the South Pole since 1977.
16.Mac was cycling along a road in Canada's Yukon,halfway through a 2,750-mile bike tour to Prudhoe Bay,Alaska.He was carrying a 30-pound camping bag,(41)sohe wasn't moving very fast.Suddenly he heard loud breathing behind him."Man,that's a big dog!"he thought.He looked to the side,but to his great(42)fear,he saw that it wasn't a dog,but a wolf,running hard to(43)catch up withhim.
    Mac's heart jumped.He reached for the(44)sprayfrom his bag.With one hand on th e handle bar,he(45)firedthe spray.A bright red cloud covered the wolf(46)in time,and it fell back,shaking its head.But a minute later it was by his side again.He sprayed a second time,and the wolf fell(47)backagain,but only to quickly restart its(48)attack.
    The wolf was getting closer and closer,(49)justa dozen yards away.Mac waved and yelled at passing motorists,but meanwhile(50)rodehard.He knew clearly that he must be(51)carefulnot to slow down.Otherwise,he would become a(52)competitorof the wolf.
    Paul and Becky were driving along the same road.From a distance,they spotted what they5(53)assumedwas a dog running after a man on a bike.As they got(54)closer,they realized it was a wolf.
    Mac heard a car coming up behind him,and he slowed down.The car veered (改变方向)around the(55)cyclist,then suddenly stopped in front of him.Mac(56)jumpedoff his bike and dashed for the back(57)doorof the car.It was locked.Paul quickly(58)unlockedthe door so as to let Mac in,and the(59)frightenedman dived in,shutting the door behind him.
It was quite a while before Mac became(60)calmand cried out:"I thought I was going to die!"And Paul and Becky were glad that they had given a helping hand to people in need.

12.It was a busy day as usual.I was making sandwiches and balancing the phone between my shoulder and chin.The washing machine sounded as my husband walked in with our daughters.We had only about twenty minutes to eat (21)Awe had to take the girls to their next activity.My husband seemed a bit (22)Bthat dinner was not on the table.
That night,I had a heavy(23)D,thinking we were becoming taskmasters on an assembly line(流水线).We had become too(24)C in our own tasks and not very considerate towards those around us.We needed to do something to bring back some meaning into our lives.It needed to be something that would (25)B  our own agendas and energize us towards the common good.
I bought a notebook,named it"Our Deed Diary"and held a family meeting.I told my family I wanted us all to think about doing a (26)A for others every day.It could be for each other or for people outside our (27)C.And we all needed to write it down in the notebook.
I thought one deed a day was a little case.However,it was actually (28)B than it seemed because it had to be something (29)D what we had already done.Sending birthday cards to people we already sent cards to every year would not(30)A.
We had a rough(31)D.On some days,(32)Cwould forget to do a good deed,while on other days,we would forget to write our good deeds in the diary.After a few weeks though,I found myself waking up in the morning trying to (33)B what good deed I could do for someone that day.My daughters began to rush to me after school to (34)Cme the good deed they had done.
Now,after a year,I am happy to say that it is making a(n) (35)Din our lives.Instead of always (36)Awhat the day will bring for us,we think about what we can do for someone else.
Who would have thought that trying to do a simple kindness a day would be so(37)C?I feel my daughters have felt inner joy that you can only (38)Dby giving to someone else from your heart.The best thing is that you feel so great about doing something for someone else; you don't even look for or expect anything in(39)B.So,when someone does return the favor,it is an enormous and positive (40)A.
