8.People usually think of fishing as a warm-weather pastime.But some fishers say the activity is best when it is(61)freezing (freeze) outside.Those people are called ice fishermen.When it gets really cold,they are in their element.In parts of the northern United States and all over Canada,ice fishing is a big sport.People wait all year(62)for lakes and rivers in their cities to freeze.They drive trucks and snowmobiles on the ice,cut a hole into the water,and drop a lure.Here is how it(63)(work):
First,fishers drill a hole in the ice,drop a line into the water and wander around,(64)waiting (wait).Hopefully,a fish bites the hook at the end of the line.It is just like regular fishing,(65)but it is done in winter.
The fishermen wear heavy coats and gloves (66)to stay(stay) warm.Some people build small shelters on the ice around(67)the hole.They leave the shacks (窝棚)on the ice all winter,so they can come and go(68)easily (easy).The shelters provide some (69)protection (protect) from the cold and wind.
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports that by January 5,ice fishing is active.Resorts are busy with those (70)who/that like to catch fish.
分析 本文介绍了美国北部以及加拿大流行的一种娱乐方式--冰下捕鱼.人们一整年就等着河里的水结冰,他们在冰面上开着卡车和摩托雪橇,在冰面上打一个洞,扔下诱饵,等着鱼上钩.钓鱼的人们穿着厚厚的大衣戴着手套来保暖,有的甚至在冰洞周围建起一个窝棚来御寒.
解答 61.freezing 62.for 63.works 64.waiting 65.but
66.to stay 67.the 68.easily 69.protection 70.who/that
61.freezing 考查形容词.freezing意为"极冷的",是形容词做表语,与前面的系动词is 构成系表结构.
62.for 考查介词.wait for是固定动词短语,意为"等待".
63.works 考查动词的时态.本文讲述一个事实,故用一般现在时,主语为it,谓语动词work意为"起作用",用第三人称单数.
64.waiting 考查分词作状语.句子的主语 fishers 与动词wait存在逻辑上的主谓关系,用现在分词形式作伴随状语.
65.but 考查连词.从文中可知,这就像常规的钓鱼是在天气暖和的时候,此处是冬天,表示转折,用but.
66.to stay 考查动词不定式.分析句子可知此处用不定式表示目的.
67.the 考查定冠词.此处hole是第二次提到,要用定冠词the表示特指.
68.easily 考查副词.修饰动词 come and go要用副词,easy的副词形式是easily.
69.protection 考查名词.分析句子结构可知,要用名词形式作动词provide的宾语,protect的名词形式是protection.
70.who/that 考查关系代词.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词those指代文中提到的fishermen,关系代词用who/that,在从句中作主语.

The new architecture,says Mr Mitchell,will"make spaces intentionally(54)C".Architects are thinking about light,air,trees and gardens,all in the service of human connections.Buildings will have much more varied shapes than before(55)B,people working on laptops find it comforting to have their backs to a wall,so hybrid(混合的) spaces may become curvier,with more nooks(角落),in order to (56)Cthe surface area of their inner walls.
"This(57)Dis what separates successful spaces and cities from unsuccessful ones,"says Anthony Townsend,an urban planner at the Institute for the Future,a think-tank.Almost any public space can assume some of these features.For example,a not-for-profit organization in New York has(58)BBryant Park,a once abandoned but charming garden in front of the city's public library,into a hybrid space popular with office workers.The park's managers noticed that a lot of visitors were using mobile phones and laptops in the park,so they (59)AWi-Fi and added some chairs with foldable lecture desks.The idea was not to distract people from the flowers but to let them customize their little bit of the park.
The academic name for such spaces is"third places",a term originally coined by the sociologist Ray Oldenburg in his 1989 book,"The Great,Good Place".At the time,long before mobile technologies became widespread,Mr Oldenburg wanted to (60)Dbetween the sociological functions of people's first places (their homes),their second places (offices) and the public spaces that(61)Asafe,neutral and informal meeting points.As Mr Oldenburg saw it,a good third place makes admission free or cheap-the price of a cup of coffee,say-offers creature comforts,is within walking distance for a particular neighborhood and (62)Da group of regulars.
As more(63)Dplaces pop up and spread,they also change entire cities.Just as buildings during the 20th century were specialized by(64)A,towns were as well,says Mr Mitchell.Suburbs were for living,downtowns for (65)Band other areas for playing.But urban nomadism makes districts,like buildings,multifunctional.Parts of town that were monocultures,he says,gradually become"fine-grained mixed-use neighborhoods".
