We often say that intelligence(智力) means being able to solve problems. Sometimes animals seem able to do this. 85 , dogs and cats often find their way home from long distance. To do this, they have to use their intelligence. They have to remember and think. But many birds find their way over long distances, too. They 86 thousands of miles every year when they move from cold to warm countries. We do not know how they do this, but we know they do not use their intelligence. They do not remember places and directions and then make decisions. 87 birds are able to make these journeys without help as soon as they can fly. They are born with this ability. This is not intelligence. We call this "instinct' (本能).
Often we can not be sure whether an animal is 88 intelligently. When a dog hears a strange noise, it barks. This is instinct. It can not stop itself from doing this. It does not 89_know why it is doing this. But suppose a house is on fire and the dog barks outside its
master's bedroom until he wakes up. Is the dog using its intelligence? Is it solving the problem by waking its master or is it simply barking instinctively because it is afraid? Often we can not be sure.
Many animals, however, can be taught to solve problems, especially when they are given 90_. Rats have been taught to touch a key .to get food. Animals in circuses have been taught to do all sorts of tricks to amuse the audience. In all these cases, we may say that an animal is using intelligence. This may be thought of as a 91 kind of intelligence.

I once believed that a friend is a friend all the way. Now I have changed my ideas about friendships.
Friends of convenience
They can be the people who live next door or the mothers of our children's closest friends. Friends of convenience are convenient i92 .They'll help us when we need it. They'll look after our cats whenwe go on holidays. But we don't ever get too close or tell too much. We keep our public face and emotional distance. That m 93 we'll talk about being overweight but not about being sad or disappointed. However, people still feel these friendships valuable to them.
Special-interest friends
These friendships aren't deeply personal or emotional. Their value is that they can s 94 interest, so we may have an office friend, a tennis friend, or even a shopping friend.
Historical friends
We all have a friend who knew us when ... maybe we were back in the second grade of . t primary school, when our family lived in that two-room flat downtdwn. He or she was the first, the only friend we told our s 95 to.
The years have gone by, and we have gone different ways. We have 1 96 in common now, but we're still a personal part of each other's past. We know how we looked before our teeth were straightened, and our getting together reminds us of an earlier part of ourselves,which is important and n 97 lost.
Cross-generational friends
These are friendships that form across generations. I have in my own life a p 98 friend, a woman of 65, who is wise, who listens well, and who represents not only an ideal mother to me but also the person I'd like to be when I grow up.
Best friends, I believe, totally trust, support and love each other.

Y ou have waited 45 minutes for the valuable 10 minutes* break between classes. But when the bell for the next class rings, you can't believe how 85 time has passed.
If you are familiar with this scene, you'll know how time flies when you are having fun. Now scientists have thought over a reason why this is the case.
Scans（扫描仪）have shown that patterns of activity in the brain 86 according to how we focus on (专心于) a task. When we feel 87 we concentrate（专心于）more on how time is passing. And this makes our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly.
In an experiment carried out by a French laboratory. 12 volunteers watched an image while researchers monitored their brain activity.
The volunteers were told to first concentrate on 88 an image appeared for, then focus on the color of the image, and thirdly, study both duration(持续时间) and color. The results showed that 89 was more active when the volunteers paid attention to more subjects.
It is thought that if the brain is focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to spread its resources, and pays 90 attention to the clock. Therefore, time passes without us really noticing it, and seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it concentrates its 91 energies on monitoring the passing of time. As a result, time seems to drag.
Next time you feel bored in class, perhaps you should pay more attention to what the teacher is saying!
85. A) slowly B) quickly C) terribly D) foolishly
86. A) change B) develop C) grow D) stop

Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying fourteen homes.

A farmer, Bob, said that the storm b 94 early in the morning and lasted for over an hour.
"I was eating with my wife and children," he said, '"When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house f 95 down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, s 96 but very frightened." Bob continued, "My boy cried out immediately when he saw me. I wanted to give him a hand It that time, but failed. We both tried hard and finally he managed to find his way out."
Mrs. Woo said that her husband has just 1 97 for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children. ''There was no time to take a 98 ," she said, "A few minutes later, the roof came down."
Rescue workers helped to take people out of the flooded area and the welfare department brought them food, clothes and shelter.

In the United States, young people generally enjoy much freedom. It is probably true that nowadays young Americans have more freedom t 92 they ever had. It is not really clear whether all of this freedom is a good thing with respect to dating relationships (关系). Dating has changed greatly in recent years.
According to traditional dating ways in the United States, much of the responsibility for a date falls on the young man. The young man must first call the girl he w93 to date early in a week. Most girls in traditional dating relationships expect to get a telephone call f 94 a young man by Wednesday. Most dates take place on weekends. Fridays and Saturdays nights are p 95 for dates. The young man must ask the girl out and suggest the things that they might do. Usually it is the young man who pays for all of the evening's activities.
Some young people in the United States, e 96 college students, do not go out on traditional dates. Instead, they go out on group dates. This means that small groups of young people go out with each other. All of the people in the group are usually friends, but some in the group may not know before.
As a result, every person pays for his or her expenses. This means that the girls must pay for their admission(入场) tickets for the movies, for a cup of coffee, or for a _ 97 else that they spend on during the date.
The group is very different from the traditional date. Y oung people in the Unite States today enjoy both kinds of these dating ways. Traditional dating ways give young people a chance to get to know one another better. Group dates give young people a chance to know many other young people and to have a more relaxed evening. Both kinds of dates have their a 98 . The group date is really a new idea among young people. It seems to be a wonderful for the reasons described above.

Coober Pedy is a small town in the Australian desert. It's famous not only for its 6pals (猫眼石), but also for a very unusual r 92 —the people live and work underground.
Why do people choose to live under the ground? To avoid (避开) the boiling hot days and f 93 cold nights—daytime temperatures can rise to 50 *C or more and on a cold night the thermometer can hit zero.

"They think it's impossible to live here and that we're like primitive (原始的) cave people, but that's not t 96 . When my husband, Larry, and I first came here, there was no electricity or running water. Life was very difficult and many people decided to leave. But now, things have c 97 a lot and we're very comfortable. We now have underground shops, hotels, restaurants, cafes and churches!"
Abigail and Brian Tynan left their large house in Melbourne two years ago to live in an underground home. "My mouth fell open when I saw my underground home," remembers Brian. "It was like a cave. It took us about a year to turn it into a cosy home, but we've settled in now and I'd rather live here than a 98 the ground. It's my choice and I really enjoy it."

上海市中考英语首字母填空练习 首字母填空类短文题是近几年各省、市中考题经常采用的题型之一，这种题难度相对较大，考生失分现象很严重。 主观型首字母填空也称为限制型完形填空。它的特点是将一篇文章中若干个词“掏空”，留下该词的首字母，它既作为提示又作为限制，让我们根据短文的意思把单词拼写完整，使文章连贯。学生们在通读全文、掌握大意的前提下，采用先易后难，再逐项填空的应试策略。做题时要通过字里行间来捕捉信息，既要理清逻辑，又要综合考虑，最后通过复读全文来消除疏漏。给首字母填空类短文的阅读题属于能力测试的范畴，它考查的范围极广，可以是英语知识的方方面面，还可能涉及其它学科。它要求考生在充分理解短文的基础上将单词拼写出来，并且单词形式合理，符合语法规范，符合短文需要。下面就讲一讲做这类题的方法与技巧： 1. 通读短文知大意，看整体全面了解 与阅读理解题和其它类型的完形填空一样，首先要通读短文，了解文章的大意。每篇短文段落之间必然承上启下、前呼后应。因此通读全文时要一气呵成，只要能了解短文的大意即可，细节不理解可以跳过。因此，在解题之前通读一遍短文，目的是对文章有个全面的了解，弄清其中心思想和大意。 2. 复读短文抓信息，前后照应巧猜词 在了解文章大意的前提之下再次通读短文，目的是对短文有更进一步的了解。在阅读时要特别注意一篇文章的开头（一般不设空）和结尾，它们能提供主要的信息，帮助了解全文所描述的事件或文章的中心思想。在阅读过程中，要注意上、下文的关系，这对于把握文章的整体意义大有用处。另外，要学会跳读，即对不理解的地方采用暂时回避的方式，待真正理解全文之后再找解决的方法。有些短文填空题，有时出现约3%~5% 的生词是很正常的，这就要求学生根据构词知识或上、下文的意思加以猜测，来确定它的词义。 3. 反复推敲多分析，慎重答题讲技巧 再次通读短文，对留空的句子进行全面的分析，看它在全文中所处的位置、作用和意义。这一遍阅读要求是精心阅读，要留心找出关键词、短语或句子，还要结合所给首字母的提示，进行填写，并注意单词的正确形式。 4. 认真复查全文，把握整体和词形 做完以后，再认真读一遍，检查所填写的单词是否与文章要求相符，文章是否通顺，前后是否呼应，有无句型结构及语法错误。从实际中看，很多学生能够充分利用词首字母和短文内容填写单词，但是，问题往往出现在单词的形式变化上。比如填q ，要求填写quickly ，而多数考生只知道填写quick ，忽略了词性问题。因此，深思熟虑很重要。 通过以上对首字母填空类型题的讲解，同学们一定对这类题型有了更多的了解，掌握了此类题的考点和做题的技巧后，给同学们准备了以下的练习题，请同学们及时巩固学习内容。
