【解析】
试题分析：艾瑞斯是一名患有自闭症的儿童。但自从家里来了一只叫做苏鲁的猫后，艾瑞斯变得开朗多了。
【1】seldom句意：这个五岁的自闭症女孩很少说话。根据“autistic(自闭的)”一词可知，这个五岁的小女孩话不多。seldom很少，是副词，在这里修饰动词spoke，意为“很少说话”。故填seldom。
【2】spends句意：她大部分时间用来画画。spend花费，是动词，用法是 spend some time (in) doing sth.意为“花费（时间）做某事”，其中介词in可以省略。主语是“She”，所以用三单形式。故填spends。
【3】works 句意：她画得非常好，以致她的作品每一幅都买到1500英镑的价钱。works是名词，意为“作品”。故填works。
【4】until句意：然而，直到去年一只名叫苏鲁的猫来到她家后她才不感到孤独。until表示“直到某时”，当主句是否定句时，它引出的意思是“直到（某时）（某动作）才（发生）”。从后文可知，小猫的到来让艾瑞斯变得开心。故填until。
【5】arrived句意：自从苏鲁到来，艾瑞斯的父母注意到爱丽丝在她的画中增加了类似小猫眼睛或鼻子的元素。从前一句可知，小猫来到了艾瑞斯的家，因此可知，艾瑞斯的变化是从小猫的到来开始的。arrive到达、来，是动词，过去式是arrived。故填arrived。
【6】believe 句意：他们认为艾瑞斯在她的画中表达了对苏鲁的喜欢。根据前文可知，艾瑞斯的父母发现她的画中出现了小猫的元素，所以他们认为艾瑞斯很喜欢这只小猫。believe认为，是动词。故填believe 。
【7】Whenever/When句意：每当全家人外出在车里时，艾瑞斯总是带着苏鲁。whenever每当；when当……时。二者用法类似，都可引导时间状语从句，表达两个动作在同一时间发生。故填Whenever/When。
【8】relationship句意：苏鲁也在艾瑞斯与其他人的关系方面起了重大作用。have a great influence on……在……上有很大影响/起巨大作用。relationship关系，是名词。故填relationship。
【9】easier句意：她的父母发现当苏鲁在旁边时鼓励艾瑞斯说话更加容易。easy容易的，是形容词。根据前文可知，艾瑞斯患有自闭症，不爱说话，但自从小猫苏鲁来了之后艾瑞斯慢慢变得善于表达，所以有小猫在，艾瑞斯与他人交流变得容易些，因此要用easy的比较级easier。故填easier。
【10】Happier句意：感谢苏鲁，艾瑞斯比以前快乐多了。自从小猫苏鲁来了以后，艾瑞斯与以前相比是更加快乐了，所以用happy的比较级happier。故填Happier。

Every time we turn on the TV or take a ride in a car, we could be adding to a problem called acid rain(酸雨). In this article, we’ll learn something important about acid rain.
The formation of acid rain
When people use fuels (燃料), such as coal and gasoline(汽油), poisonous（有毒的） gases are given off. When these gases come together with rain, acid rain forms. Many power stations burn fuels in order to create the electricity(电) that we use in our homes and offices every day. Cars and trucks also send these gases into the air when they burn gasoline. When rain meets these gases, harmful things called acids form. This is acid rain.
The harm of acid rain
Acid rain destroys（破坏） everything. It poisons our rivers, ponds and lakes and oceans along with the life in them. It pollutes our soils and crops, harm trees, and can cause the death of fish and plants. Acid rain also eats away at our buildings.
The prevention of acid rain
We need to reduce and even stop the pollution that gets into our air. Turn off lights, televisions and other electrical appliances(电器) if we are not using them. Walk and take a bike whenever possible. If we are travelling a long distance, take a bus or train to save fuel.
As research shows, acid rain harms our environment. But people everywhere can take small steps now to help protect our environment and make our children change.
Whenever we use electricity or drive our cars we may add something bad to the air around us. And even worse, we may cause a terrible problem—acid rain. | |
