【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了名叫威廉的男子用自制风车改变了温贝村人生活的故事。
【1】
句意：威廉用字典弄懂了他不知道的单词。
根据前后文a dictionary和the words he didn’t know可知，此处是指威廉用字典弄懂了他不知道的单词。被选单词中work out意为“得到（解决方法）”，符合句意，且空格处所在结构为带to不定式作目的状语，故work应用动词原形，故答案为work out。
【2】
句意：但这并没有阻止威廉。
根据上文Some kids laughed at him and said he was crazy!可知，一些孩子嘲笑他说他疯了，但这些嘲讽并没能阻止威廉。备选单词中stop意为“阻止”，表达“没能阻止”应在stop前加助动词否定形式，且描述的是过去的事，故应用一般过去时的助动词否定形式didn’t，故答案为didn’t stop。
【3】
句意：叶片转得越来越快。
根据前面faster提示，空格处应填入同样的形容词比较级，构成“比较级+ and +比较级”的结构，其中两个比较级应为同一个比较级，即faster and faster。故答案为faster。
【4】
句意：温贝村的房子晚上有了光亮。
根据上文William had made electricity可知，威廉最终成功地发了电，所以温贝村的房子晚上有了光亮。备选单词中light意为“光亮”，且光亮不止一处，故应用复数形式，故答案为lights。
【5】
句意：他证明了一个小想法可以发展成大工程。
根据上文As for William, his dream came true可知，威廉的梦想最终实现了，他用一些废弃物造出来的风车发了电，改变了温贝村人的生活，他证明了一个小想法可以发展成大工程。备选单词中grow意为“扩大”，短语grow into意为“发展成……”，符合句意，且位于情态动词can后面，故动词grow应用原形，故答案为grow。
【题目】 Much meaning can be conveyed (传送） with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak. Do you have such kind of experience? On a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared(盯)at, he may feel uncomfortable.
The same is in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry with the person who is looking at you. Eyes do speak, right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be impolite and even rude. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man stares at a woman, his purpose is obvious. That is, he wishes to attract her attention and make her understand that he is admiring her.
However, the normal eye contact (接触） for two people during a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time in order to make sure that the listener is paying attention to what the speaker is speaking.
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to contract you, you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar(说谎者） usually looks too long at the victim, because he believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.
In fact, continuous eye contact only happens between two lovers, who will enjoy looking at each other gently for a long time, to show feeling that words cannot express. Obviously, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the proper situation.
根据短文内容填空，完成下面的表格，每空一词。
Eyes can speak | |
In our daily life | A lot of feelings can be conveyed to others with our eyes. There are a lot of facts to prove it. You may feel uncomfortable if you are stared at for more than necessary. And you wonder if there is anything wrong with you. If not, you will feel very【1】. |
When staring at the opposite sex | Looking too long at a woman you admire means that you want to【2】 her attention. And most of time, continuous eye contact is just for two two lovers. |
When having a 【3】with others | If the speaker looks at the listener at【4】during the conversation, it’s normal eye contact. If the speaker tells a 【5】 , looking straight in the eye too long isn’t a sign of honest communication. |
So remember to look at others at the proper time. If not, it will make others uncomfortable. | |
