19.Before we planned to travel to Zimbabwe,we'd been warned not just by one person,(61)butby many people.Even so,we continued our travel plans to Zimbabwe.
The day we crossed the famous bridge over Victoria Falls to Zimbabwe,we(62)were greeted(greet)by friendly border agents and the border police waved us on our way with a smile.We started to give (63)asecond thought to the warning we'd been given.
The first day we took the backroads to Binga,a place that was(64)formerly(former)a popular destination for those looking to rent houseboats and go fishing on the lake.The next day we drove on single track roads through remote villages.Villagers would stop and stare as we drove by,as(65)seeing(see) tourists in this area was(66)rarer(rare) than a blue moon.The road conditions continued to worsen,but the (67)beauty(beautiful) of the region grew,too.We climbed up and down the mountains and valleys (68)filled(fill)  with native birds and wildlife.
We pulled into Kariba,a small town in Zimbabw(69)where the lake ends and the Zambezi River continues.We felt that Zimbabwe had treated(70)us(we) right-it would be hard to leave.

分析 短文主要介绍了作者去津巴布韦的一趟旅途.

解答 61.but,考查并列连词,句意表示"我们不只是被一个人而是被很多人警告过",not…but…"不是…而是…".
62.were greeted,考查动词时态和语态,句意表示"迎接我们的是友好的边境官员",根据句意可知使用一般过去时的被动语态.
63.a,考查冠词,此处表示"又一次,再一次",因此使用不定冠词a.
64.formerly,考查词形转换,此处应使用副词修饰谓语动词.
65.seeing,考查非谓语动词,此处在句中作主语,因此使用动名词形式.
66.rarer,考查形容词比较级,根据空格后的than可知,此处应使用rare的比较级形式.
67.beauty,考查词性转换,根据语境中定冠词the和介词of提示可知,此处用名词作主语.
68.filled,考查非谓语动词,此处在句中作后置定语,且动词fill与其逻辑主语the mountains and valleys 存在着动宾关系,因此使用过去分词.
69.where,考查定语从句,句子先行词Zimbabw在从句中充当地点状语,因此使用关系副词where.
70.us,考查人称代词,此处在句中作treat的宾语,因此使用宾格形式.

点评 对于语法填空这类题,一是懂得分析句子结构,二是知道充当各个句子成分的词类或词性,从语法上确定答案,当然,对于某些固定搭配也要牢记,在平时的学习中要多积累这些词汇或短语,对于句子使用的时态语态也要通过语境进行确定.

9.Liu Sijiang (teacher):The Net improves the speed of communication,but there are many people who lie on it.Therefore,it is natural that some people are(61)worried(worry) about the girl in Nanjing,who made friends with an American teacher by email.
Xu Yong (student):These days,(62)making(make) friends online is a part of many people's lives.I think we can make good and helpful friends online,just like the girl from Nanjing.So don't be afraid to do(63)whatyou think is right.
Ding Yixiang (student):As the most(64)important(importance) communication tool at present,the Internet helps us to know and understand world affairs.(65)Itis also easy to make friends with foreigners through your keyboard.(66)However,a"friend"might lie to you.Only if young people can control themselves well and know what is good and what is bad,making friends on the Net should not be (67)aproblem at all.
Zhou Jian (student):It is hard to say (68)whetheror not it is good to make friends on the Internet.In fact,some bad and harmful things have indeed happened.However,I like to make friends online.I often share my happiness and sadness (69)withmy friends there.They can offer me some advice (70)andtell me how to solve problems when I am in trouble.
14.It is believed that the success of humans as a species depends to a large extent on our ability to cooperate in groups.Much more so than any other animal,people are able to coordinate and join their forces and actions to produce mutual(共同的) benefits.
New research involving Dr Lucas Molleman,an expert at the University of Nottingham,suggests that successful cooperation in groups depends on how people gather information about their peers,and how they base their cooperative decisions on it.
Biologists wonder how cooperation could have developed by natural selection:It is puzzling how cooperation can be beneficial when it is possible to behave selfishly and take advantage of the cooperative efforts of your group.Psychologists and economists try hard to understand why many people are willing to sacrifice their own welfare to benefit their social environment.
Dr Molleman,from the center for Decision Research and Experimental Economics,said,"The question that our research tries to answer is:‘How do people make decisions when their actions can affect the welfare of others?'More specifically,we want to know how people determine their behavior when they have to cooperate in groups."In these situations,a beneficial outcome for the whole group can be achieved if everyone cooperates.Individually,however,people might be better off by making selfish choices.It is possible that people pay close attention to their fellow group mates when they make decisions.For instance,they cooperate if others also cooperate,but act selfishly when others do not cooperate.
Dr Pieter Van Den Berg from the University of Groningen said,"From previous research we know that some people are‘majority-oriented (以多数人为方向的)'and tend to look at the behavior of the majority in their group,whereas others are‘success-oriented'and try to find out what kind of behavior pays off best for themselves."
Dr Molleman said,"It turns out that behavior in groups of success-oriented people was much more selfish than it in groups of majority-oriented people.As a consequence,the people in the majority-oriented groups tended to earn more money in the experiment since they cooperated more."

4.Gardens:Autumn is about BeginningsIt's autumn,the season of falling leaves and gardening journalists reusing their favorite utumnal phrase:"putting the garden to bed".
(36)GInstead,this is a time of new beginnings.Giving you plants for free in exchange or very little time and effort.Hardwood cuttings are probably the easiest of all cuttings to take.
If you have never done it before,this weekend is your chance.
Suitable plants for this treatment are roses and grapes(37)FSo cuttings are a brilliant ay to make sure you get what you are hoping for.
The best time to do this is just after leaf fall.(38)CPick out some of the bright green tems(茎)from this year's growth and cut into l ft sections.Dipping the lower cut end in ooting powder(生根粉)will improve your success rate,but it's not absolutely necessary.
Simply taking a few more than you need should cover you.
Dig out a little hole in a sheltered patch of your plot and bury the bottom two-thirds of ach cutting,setting them about l0cm apart(39)EThen water them well.
By this time next autumn,at least 50% 0f these cuttings should have rooted away nicely.
You can get loads of plants for yourself and even Christmas gifts for your friends.(40)A

A.From your garden to theirs.
B.Experiment with the cuttings for several times.
C.If you miss this,just before they flower next spring.
D.In this way,the garden will come into a period to rest.
E.Firm the soil around the cuttings with your hands or heel.
F.These come in such a diversity of varieties,which can be hard to tell apart.
G.Autumn shouldn't be a time to avoid outdoor tidying up and working in gardens.
11.After years of sales growth,major publishers reported a fall in their e-book sales for the first time this year,introducing new doubts about the potential of e-books in the publishing industry.Yet despite the increasing realization that digital and print can easily coexist in the market,the question of whether the e-book will"kill"the print book continues to surface.It doesn't matter if the intention is to predict or dismiss this possibility; the potential disappearance of the book does not stop to inspire our imagination.
After television was invented,many claimed radio would die.But radio ended up surviving by finding new uses; people started listening in cars,during tram rides and on factory floors.The myth of the disappearing book isn't new,either.As early as 1894,there was guess that they'd be replaced by what we today call audiobooks.This happened again and again.Movies,radio,television,and smartphones-all    conspired to destroy print books as a source of culture and entertainment.It is not by chance that the idea of the death of the book surfaces in moments of technological change.
We create emotional bonds with media as they become an integral part of our life.The emergence of a new technology-like e-readers-doesn't just in indicate economic and social change.It also causes us to adjust our relationship with something that has become an integral part of our day-to-day life.
The ones who still worry for the disappearance of print books may rest assured:Books have endured many technical revolutions and are in the best position to survive this one.Yet the myth of the disappearing medium will continue to provide an appealing narrative about both the power of technology and our dislike to change.Easy to remember and to spread,the story of the death of       media reflects our excitement       for the future,as well as our fear of losing parts of our intimate world一and finally,of ourselves.

33.What do people tend to believe according to the text?A
A.Print books will disappear in the end.
B.It is unwise to invest in e-books.
C.Digital and print will exist all the time.
D.The death of books is just an imagination.
34.What can we learn from the second paragraph?D
A.The forms of books change with new technology.
B.Books have a bright digital future actually.
C.Culture will disappear with the end of books.
D.The idea of book death follows technological changes.
35.What does the myth of disappearing books reflect?B
A.Our doubt about the power of technology.
B.Our fear of losing ourselves in society.
C.Our preference for new technology.
D.Our pleasure of experiencing technical revolutions.
13.Schools across the world are trying to come up with solutions to keep students active.Some are replacing traditional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks.At Ward Elementary School in Winston,North Carolina students have adopted a new program that requires riding fixed bikes while reading.
‘Read and Ride'is the creation of school counselor Scott Ertl,who came up with the idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym.Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to become more active,he placed one in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading classes.
It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride program to the entire school.Today Ward Elementary has a dedicated exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while completing their daily reading assignments.
Besides making reading more fun,the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-related activities.It is also a perfect way to release energy during days when the weather is not helpful to outdoor activities.
Most importantly,however,are the program's academic benefits.A year after Read and Ride was introduced at Ward Elementary School,students actively involved in the program demonstrated an astonishing 83% reading proficiency.Those that had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at a much lower,41%.
Though the substantial improvement in academic achievement cannot all be attributed to programs like Read and Ride,experts believe they are a significant contributor.That's because studies have shown that physical activity stimulates(刺激) brain cells and helps prepare it for learning.As word of the difference made by this easy to execute exercise program spreads,don't be surprised to find schools across the country adopt"Read and Ride"for their students.
24.What is the new program at Ward Elementary School?A
A.Kids ride bikes as they read.
B.Kids excise balls and read at the gym.
C.Kids sit at desks for long while reading.
D.Kids do outdoor activities during lessons.
25.How do the students at Ward Elementary School benefit from the program?B
A.They exercise with high pressure.
B.They feel reading fun and learn better.
C.They improve their sense of competition.
D.They are instructed to read at the same pace.
26.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A
A.The program will be more and more popular.
B.Schools doubt whether the program is available.
C.Physical activities prevent kids from learning more.
D.The school achievement depends wholly on the program.
27.What would be the best title of the passage?C
A.Standing desks help school kids focus on their studies.
B.Traditional teaching should be banned in the near future.
C.‘Read And Ride'aims to make students healthier and smarter.
D.Kids need release energy during independent reading classes.
