Well, since the milk has a 90 been spilled, would you like to play in the milk for a while ? We can it up after that. "Indeed, he did so. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, finally you have to clean it up." He used a sponge(海绵）and together they cleaned up the spilled milk .His mother then said ,"you know ,we failed in how to successfully carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands just now .Let`s go out in the yard and fill the bottle with water to see if you can f 91 a new way to carry it . "Then the little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it w 92 dropping it.What a wonderful lesson！（七）In the Renaissance Period(文艺复兴时期) (1500-1650), people became interested in higher education. They wanted to learn the a___________ languages such as Greek and Latin- languages that were used in the old times, and study mathematics, science, and so on. Many universities were set up during the 16th century.University education was a privilege (特权) of the rich. Girls were not allowed to attend and poor people could not a____________ to go. A member of a wealthy family could attend university at the age of ten. He might study in different universities and since the teaching was all d__________ in Latin, it didn’t matter which country he studied in. It was not unusual for a young boy study one year in Italy and another in France without speaking either French or Italian.It was p_________ in the 16th century to complete university without learning how to read or write. Since books were handwritten, there was not enough to give o___________ to each student. Often, only the teacher had a book. He would read to the students who would memorize what he said. Tests were oral, not written, In fact, many students finished school without ever writing a word.For the not so wealthy, grammar schools were built in towns. They learned basic grammar and mathematics, and took part in Bible study, At home, girls learned washing, cooking, dancing, and the basics of taking care of a household. Poor children r___________ attended school.The Renaissance was a time when learners did not simply accept what they were old. They did scientificexperiments themselves to search for a__________ to the mysteries (神秘) of the space. Copernicus calculated that the Earth turned around the sun but was afraid to publish his works for fear that the Church would punish (惩罚) him. Galileo later supported this. The watch, the telescope and some others were some inventions of this period.（八）In the movie 2012, the volcano (火山) in Yellowstone National Park erupts (爆发) , smoke flies thousands of meters into the air, and car-sized pieces of stone and ash fly out.Now, some scientists say, it's very possible that the Yellowstone volcano will soon erupt in r 86 life for the fourth time in history, after about 640,000 years. According to the Daily Mail, the volcano in the Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, US, has been rising at a record rate since 2004. Its magma (岩浆) surface has gone u 87 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) per year over the last three years alone. This rise is one of the main s 88 that a volcano is about to erupt. However, scientists are not certain when the eruption will happen or what it will cause.Unlike what happens in the movie 2012, a volcano eruption would not destroy the whole world, b 89 it could cause huge damage to people living nearby. For example, the 2010 eruption of the Iceland V olcano caused more than 800 people to 1 90 their homes and many airports in European countries to shut down for a few days.There are more than 1,500 active volcanoes in the world. A volcano is c 91 active if it has erupted at least once during the last 10, 000 years. In ancient times, more than 80 percent of the earth's surface was volcanic. V olcanic eruptions formed the sea floor and some mountains over many years. Gas from volcanoes formed the earth's atmosphere (大气) .V olcanoes come from very hot liquid rock, that is magma, inside the earth. When magma comes upward and breaks through the earth's surface, it forms volcanoes.The rising magma heats water, which leads to explosions of steam. This pushes rocks and ash high into the sky. T 92 different things erupt from a volcano; hot liquid rock, volcanic ash and gases.（九）According to experts, the word Hutong originated from Mongolian language meaning "Well" (井). In ancient times, people tended to gather and live around wells. So the original meaning of Hutong should be "a place where people gather and live." But Hutong first a___86___ in Beijing during the Yuan Dynasty. The old city was completely destroyed during the war. First, they had to find a center, and then built a r___87___ square city. At that time, there was a clear definition for “Avenue, Street and Hutong”. A 37-metre-wide road was called an avenue, an 18-metre-wide one was called a street, and a 9-metre-wide lane was called a Hutong. Most of today's Hutong were formed during the Ming and Qing Dynasties that followed. Nobody knows e___88__ how many Hutongs there are in nowadays Beijing. But if we connected all the Hutongs together, their total l___89___ would even be longer than the famous Great wall, which is about 4000 miles.Today you can find v___90___ Hutongs with different shapes, lengths or directions. The shortest one is only 40 centimeters wide. And some Hutongs have more than 20 turns.As we walk t___91___ the Hutongs, you may find most of them look almost the same with gray-colored walls and bricks. Actually inside those walls are the courtyard houses, where people live. In Chinese we call them "Siheyuan". "Si" literally means four, "he" means to surround, and "yuan" refers to the courtyard. So a rectangular wall enclosing four houses, one built on each side facing into the center, is called a Siheyuan. When they were first built, usually one Siheyuan was o___92___ by only one family, but nowadays, with the growth of the population, most Siheyuans areshared by 4 to 10 families.（十）Wendy Martin is an ordinary university student who used to love surfing the Internet and chatting (聊天) with friends online. She often spent much of her free time talking with her family and making new friends online. Then something a 86 happened. It completely changed Wendy's feelings about the Internet.One of Wendy's favourite things to do online was to visit the chat rooms on music websites. Everyone there loved chatting about recent concerts and what the famous s 87 were going to do next. It was here that Wendy first met Anne. The two women liked each other immediately. Soon they exchanged e-mail addresses and were communicating online every day.Wendy e 88 talking to her new friend. They both liked the same music, the same clothes and the same films, but they also had the same worries about studying and the future. Anne had e-mailed her a picture of herself——she even looked s 89 to Wendy. So, when Anne asked Wendy for her address and phone number, Wendy thought her new friend was a person she could trust.It was only when Wendy got a letter from the bank that she realized something was wrong. Anne was not who she said she was. She was not a university student, she was not young and she was not even a woman. 'Anne' was really a 45-year-old man called Tim Histanon. He p 90 to like the same things as Wendy. He had used Wendy's personal information to spend all the money in her bank account.This situation is actually quite common, and affects (影响) thousands of people every year. Fortunately for Wendy, Tim Histanon was finally caught by the police, so Wendy got most of her money back. Many people, h 91 , have not been so lucky.Everyone can learn from the mistakes that Wendy made. N 92 give out personal information while chatting online, and always make sure your user name is different from your real name. Nobody wants to make the same mistake as Wendy.（十一）India is a country rich in culture and tradition. And although India is changing, one thing remains the s (86) : the cow is sacred (神圣的). And men and women cover their heads and faces with cow urine (牛粪)According to their tradition, the cow is not just a farm animal. These cows are like motherhood, and their milk feeds them. But it's not the milk these men and women are waiting for——it's the urine. As a precious g (87) from the cow, the urine is often placed in the house to protect their homeland. People think the urine can beautify their house and keep away b (88) luck. Men even put cow urine into their hair.And this special form of worshipping (崇拜) has been around for centuries.Surprisingly, cow urine is even used by people as a kind of m (89). Locals believe it can make sick people feel better. Believe it.Some believers show their worshipping by making an offering of hair.About 12,000 heads are shaved (剃头) every day. That means the city is always f (90) of hairless believers. Often waiting for 10 hours or more, believers f (91) enter the shaving area. On average the temple's 1,600 barbers shave over 15 heads an hour. The temple then sells piles of hair to local wigmakers (假发店). The money is used to help the area's poor and make sure the a (92) hair temple of India keeps going. Believe it.（十二）Have you ever noticed an advertisement which says "Learn a foreign language in six weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send ..." and so on? Of course, it n 86 happens quite like that. The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue. And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War people usually learned a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country. Now speaking the foreign language is w 87 most people want.Every year millions of people start learning one. How do they do it? Some people try at home, with books and tapes; some u 88 radio or television programs; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only two or three times a week, learning it will t 89 a long time, like language learning at school. A few people try to learn a language f 90 by studying for six or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is s 9l . However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work b 92 . For example, scientists and doctors mainly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learned quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the students' work.（十三）Today, the largest remaining area of hutongs(胡同) in Beijing is north of Forbidden City. This is where many Chinese and foreign tourists come for a “hutong tour”. We asked several of these tourists to tell us about their o____86______.(Vicky Wang, Hong Kong)“It’s really s___87_____---we’re in the middle of one of the biggest cities in the world, but in these hutongs it feels as if we are in a village in the countryside. There are lots of trees everywhere, and all the buildings are only one or two storeys high. In a___88____, there aren’t many cars in the hutongs, so they are quite quiet--- very different from the streets in the centre of Hong Kong! It’s nice to wa lk around here and stop or have a drink in one of the little coffee shops or bars by the lakes.”(Ted, Canada)“When you visit the modern part of Beijing--- with the wide roads, tall buildings and colorful lights--- you can i_____89___ that you are almos t anywhere in the world. It’s the old hutongs, temples and palaces that are really interesting and beautiful. It’s a s___90_____ that so little of the old city has been kept. I’ve taken lots of photos while I’ve been here. The next time I come back here, I don’t know how much of ‘old Beijing’ will be left.”(Yu,Guangzhou)“I don’t see what’s so interesting about these hutongs. The streets are too narrow--- I could h___91_____ drive my car down them. And most of the houses are old and dirty. China should have a better c___92____ cite that we can all proud of. Let’s get rid of these hutongs and change them into modern offices and flats.（十四）Today some people call Amsterdam “The City of Bicycles” because it is a city which is flat and convenient for bicycles.In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans had an idea. They believed that it would be better foreverybody if only bicycles were a 86 in the city center. They hoped that this would help tosave energy, reduce pollution and provide free transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycleswhite and placed them in public places around Amsterdam for people to use. Anyone was able touse them for s 87 journeys, whether he was a local or a foreigner. Wherever someone finished a journey, they would l 88 the bicycle there for someone else to use. The problem was that it didn’t work–thieves took all the bicycles within weeks!However, more than forty years later, the “white bicycle” is b 89 in town–this time with a computer chip (芯片) to r 90 its every move! To take a bicycle, you have to put a special card inside. The new “white bicycle” is not white any more but is an unusual design with bright colours. The bicycles are parked at special parking places and people who want to use them have to take them to a 91 place that has enough room.There is already l 92 traffic in central Amsterdam, because both locals and tourists have been using the “white bicycles”. Thanks to the good ideas of lots of people, like the cycling fans in the 1960s, many people around the world have been enjoying city center streets without cars for many years.答案：（一）86. during 87. actually 88. eyes 89. remember 90. enough 91. although 92. taken（二）86. makes 87. while/when 88. energy 89. enough 90. remember 91. through 92. easily（三）86. borrows 87. faster 88. heart 89. others 90. parents 91. bad 92. control（四）86. rules 87. forever 88. angry 89. still 90. hated 91. how 92. world（五）86. killed 87. slowest/smallest 88. ahead* 89. behind 90. winners 91. future 92. suddenly（六）86. why 87. experience 88. frightened 8g. explain 90. already 91. discover 92. without（七）86. ancient 87. afford 88. done 89. possible 90. one 91. rarely 92. answers（八）86. real 87. up 88. signs 89. but 90. lose 91. considered/called 92.

This experimental store offers books at very low prices, and there is no staff to require c___1___ to pay before taking books away. Sounds like a book lover’s paradise!Popular Bookmall had already set up such a shop in Nanjing. The organizers of the Nanjing store r____2____ that it was a great success; enough customers voluntarily paid for their books. But most older “honesty stores” in China did not receive enough honest customers. For example, a self-service restaurant opened in Fujian province(福建省)years ago which allowed customers to pay whatever they chose, but about one-fifth of customers paid n____3___. Therefore some people have speculated that Chinese are becoming more honest. The organizers of the “honesty stores” say that their goal is to e____4___ people in China to remember how important honesty is.Many Chinese are concerned about dishonesty in China. Even at Popular Bookmall, not everybody chose to pay for their books. How can we encourage ourselves to be honest? We should listen to our conscience. This has d____5____ roots in Chinese culture. Confucius(孔子)taught Chinese to be conscientious and honest.But there is also a great rational reason for “honesty stores”: the more honest people there are in society, the more reasons we have to t____6____ others. And if people trusted each other they’d be more willing to share. We could contribute to a “sharing economy” where you do not have to think about saving or spending money all the time, but helping other people. F____7___ all these reasons, society is built on trust, not only trade.BRead the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）（14分）We all have problems.
