20．No sound and no voice are heard．are--is．

在英语的句子中，谓语要在人称和数上与主语保持一致，主语和谓语一致的三条原则：形式一致原则、就近一致原则和意义一致原则．
1．形式一致原则，就是根据主语的单复数来决定谓语的单复数，根据主语的人称来决定谓语的形式，
She has （got） a color TV set and we have （got） a black-and-white TV set．她有一部彩色电视机，我们有一部黑白电视机．
2．就近一致原则是指：在一个句子中，如果有两个主语，谓语动词只跟相邻的一个主语在人称和数上保持一致．这种情况只要记住常见的几种情况（如：or，either…or，neither…nor，not only…nut also…，not…but…，there be…etc．）就行了．例如：
Are you or I to go and deal with the problem？你去还是我去处理那个问题？
3．意义一致原则是在英语中，有些名词作主语时，要根据具体语境中该名词的意义来确定其谓语的单复数．常见的有下列几种情况：
The old are easy to catch cold in winter．老年人冬天容易感冒．
Nine plus nine is eighteen．

11．Scientists study the natural world by using"scientific method"．When a scientist observes some phenomenon in nature，he develops an idea，called a theory or hypothesis （假设），about what is happening．Then he does an experiment to test his theory．If the results are as expected，then the experiment proves the hypothesis which makes it more likely that the theory is correct．If the experiment fails and the results are not as expected，then the scientist must come up with a new theory that he can test．
   In ancient times great thinkers came up with complicated theories to explain nature，but they did not always prove them by experiment．For example，the great Greek thinker Aristotle，had a theory that heavy objects would fall faster than light objects．People believed this until the scientist Galileo performed an experiment and found it was wrong．
    Here's an experiment that you can use to prove or disprove a common-sense theory：
    Step 1：Get an empty bottle with a small neck．A diameter （直径） of 1/2 inch should be ideal．
    Step 2：Cut a sheet of paper to a square 5 inches on each si de．
    Step 3：Crumple （压皱） the paper into a tight wad （块状物）．
    Step 4：Lay the bottle on its side and place the paper so it lies loosely in the neck of the bottle．
    Construct a theory about what will happen if you put your mouth about a half inch from the neck of the bottle and blow hard towards it．A common-sense theory might be that the wad would be blown into the bottle by the force of the breath．Now do your experiment to see what really happens．
    If your theory was that the wad would be blown by the force of the air into the bottle，the experiment gave you unexpected results．In most cases the wad is blown out of the neck of the bottle in the opposite direction．A new theory might be that the air being blown into the bottle creates a whirlwind （旋风） of air currents （气流） in the closed space which push the wad out．
29．The writer mentions Aristotle's theory to showD．
A．he was a greater thinker in ancient times
B．he was less successful than Galileo
C．objects of different weights fall at the same speed
D．experiments are necessary to support theories
30．According to the passage，what is not required in the four-step experiment？A
A．A pair of scissors．
B．A piece of paper．
C．A bottle．
D．A strong breath．
31．What's the best title for the passage？D
A．Come to Nature with Scientists          
B．Make up a New Theory
C．Experiment with Breath in a Bottle      
D．Watch Out for Common Sense．
8．This is the season for giving．Looking to get in touch with your generous side？Learn these four habits of truly thoughtful gift givers．
1．（36）A   Considerate gift giving is as much about planning as it is about how well you know the person．Take time to think about his or her personality and interests to figure out how he or she will get the most value．
2．They don't focus on cost．
The practice of thoughtful giving offers a wealth of benefits，but that doesn't mean givers should focus on expensive gifts．（37）DIt seems that having more cash could actually reduce compassion（同情）．And isn't compassion what this time of year is all about？So don't take it too hard if you don't have a lot to spend．（38）B
3．They make gifts personal．
Gifting is an opportunity to let a person know how much you appreciate and love him，and show how well you know him．（39）GBook a massage （按摩），take them to a wine tasting event，or get a couple of tickets to a concert or show．If you're buying for a parent，taking their kids for an evening could be the best gift of all．
4．They think about the presentation．（40）ESee what you have around your house to customize packaging．You can use pretty towels to cover something like a bottle of wine．You can also tie on a decoration that fits the theme of your gift．
A．They plan ahead．
B．Instead，get creative．
C．They enjoy giving more than receiving．
D．In fact，thoughtful gift givers don't concentrate on the cost of presents．
E．Thoughtful gift givers pay attention to detail，including how their gifts are packaged．
F．Make a list of your ideas ahead of time to make sure you find the perfect fit for everyone．
G．If you're buying for someone who seems to have everything，consider gifting an experience．
15．For many people，particularly immigrants，the American Dream is that talent and hard work can take youfrom log cabin to the White House．Tony Trivisonno did not rise as high as the White House，yet he managed tomake his own dream come true．
He came from a farm in Italy．One evening I found him standing behind my garage．
"I mow （割草） your lawn，"he said．It was hard to comprehend his broken English．
I asked him his name．"Tony Trivisonno，"he replied．"I mow your lawn．"I told Tony that I couldn't afforda gardener．
"I mow your lawn，"he said again，then walked away．Yes，these Depression days were difficult，but how could I refuse a person who had come to me for help？
When I got home from work the next evening，the lawn had been mowed and the walks swept．I asked mywife what had happened．
"A man had worked on the yard，"she answered．"I thought you had hired him．"
I told her of my experience the night before．We thought it strange that Tony had not asked for pay．
The next Friday，I saw Tony again，behind the garage．I praised him for the work he had done．
"I mow your lawn，"he said．
I managed to give him some kind of small weekly pay，and each day Tony cleaned up the yard and took care of any little tasks．My wife said he was very helpful whenever there were anything heavy to lift or things to fix．
Summer passed into fall，and winds blew cold．"Mr．Craw，snow pretty soon，"Tony told me one evening．"When winter comes，you give me job clearing snow at the factory．"
Well，how do you deal with such determination and hope？Of course，Tony got his job at the factory．
One day I found Tony at our meeting place behind the garage．"I want to be apprentice （学徒）"he said．
We had a pretty good apprentice school that trained workers．But I doubted whether Tony were able to read blueprints or do precision work．Still，how could I turn him down？
Tony took a cut in pay to become an apprentice．Months later，I got a report that he had graduated as a skilled grinder （磨工）．My wife and I were delighted with what Tony had achieved．
A year or two passed，and again I found Tony in his usual waiting place．"Mr．Craw，"he said，"I like to buy a house．"In the town，he had found a completely old house for sale．
I called on a banker friend．"Do you ever loan money on character？"I asked．"No，"he said．
"Now，wait a minute，"I replied．"Here is a hard-working man，a man of character，I can promise you that．He's got a good job．And he will pay your interest．"
   Unwillingly，the banker loaned Tony 2，000 and helped him buy the house．Tony was delighted．From the non，it was interesting to see that any abandoned odds and ends around our place were gathered and taken home by Tony．
   After about two years，I found Tony in our familiar meeting spot．He seemed to stand a little straighter and looked confident．
"Mr．Craw，I sell the house and buy a farm．"
   We sat down and talked．He told me that he had persuaded his childhood friend to move to America．With asatisfied look in his eye，he told me that when they came to his little farm，his friend stood in amazement and said，"Tony，you are a millionaire!"
   Then，during the World WarⅡ，news came from my company that Tony had passed away．
   When my people came to visit his family，they found the farm green with vegetables，the little house comfortable and homey．The children were educated and working，and Tony didn't owe a cent．
   Tony，as well as all the greatest American businessmen，had reached their success in the same way and by the same values：vision，determination，optimism，self-respect and，above all，honesty．
   Tony Trivisonno came to America seeking the American Dream．But he didn't find it-he created it for himself．All he had were 24 precious hours a day，and he wasted none of them．

5．In 1977，a dead author of detective stories saved the life of a 19-month-old baby in a most （61）unusual（usual）way．The author was Agatha Christie，one of the most successful writers of detective stories in the world．
In June that year，a baby girl became （62）seriously（serious） ill in Qatar，near Saudi Arabia．Doctors were unable to find out the cause of her illness with （63）confidence（confident），so she was sent to big hospital in London（64）wherespecialist help was available．A team of doctors hurried to examine the baby only （65）to discover （discover） that they，too，were confused by the very unusual disease．Just then，a nurse asked to speak to them．
"Excuse me，"said the nurse，"（66）butI think the baby is suffering from thallium（铊） poisoning．"
"What makes you think that？"Dr．Brown asked．"Thallium poisoning is extremely rare．"
"I read a detective novel （67）by Agatha Christie a few days ago，"the nurse explained，"and in the book，somebody suffers from thallium poisoning，and all the symptoms（68）are described（describe）．They're exactly （69）the same as the baby's．"
The tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium，a rare metallic substance（70）used （use） in making special glass．Once they knew the cause of the illness，the doctors were able to give the baby the correct treatment．She soon recovered and was sent back home．

The bridge will be made up of two layers，so there are some options for nervous visitors．The upper level that connects the two rock faces is in （65）the shape of a disk and doesn't have a seethrough floor．A winding black stone path leads fearless explorers from one peak to the other．Surrounding the path （66）is （be） a layer of water two centimetres thick，which is sprayed onto the path every seven minutes （67）byspecial equipment creating a temporary cloud and mist．
However，the lower level is where things start to get really （68）frightening（frighten）．The floor is 100per cent glass，（69）allowing （allow） brave visitors to look at the valley below．As well as walking across the hairraising bridge you can also sleep in one of three pavilions（楼阁），all of （70）which offer incredible views．
