In the movie 2012, the volcano(火山)inYellowstone National Park erupts（爆发）, smokeflies thousands of meters into the air, and car-sizedpieces 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 l 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 magama 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.As we know, museums are buildings where many valuable and important objects are kept so mat people can go and see them. For example, art museums are places where people can learn about d__86____kinds of cultures. More and more popular "design museums" that are opening today, however, performquite a different role. Unlikemost museums, the design museum shows objects that are e__87____foundin bur daily life, such as fridges and washing machines.The advantage of design museums is mat they are places where people feelf88 with the exhibits. Being different from the art museum visitors, design museum visitors s 89 feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-products(批量产品) work and look as they do, and how design has i 90 the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their understandingSeveral new design museums have opened their doors in recent years. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public's growing i 91 in the fieldwith new ideas. London's DesignMuseum, forexample, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The choices open to design museum seem m 92 less strict than those to art museum, and visitors may also sense(感觉到) the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive joys collected from our everyday life.普陀一Anyone who has a dog as a pet will tell you why the dog is called 'man's best friend'. "They are loyal, funny and loving. They seldom complain and always o 86_ their owners," said Mary Smith of Washington D.C.Doctors will also tell you that people who have dogs seem to be happier andhealthier than those who live a 87 . One reason for this is that people with dogs lead more active lives. Who can say no to a lovely dog when he pulls on your arm and asks yon to take him for a walk?Dogs are really amazing animals. They not only offer emotional (情感的) support but also p __ 88 great help for humans. Think about guide dogs for blind people, or dogs that help people in wheelchairs.However, it is the emotional side of owning a dog that has been studied in detail by Dr Julie Davis of Chicago University. "B_ 89 every dog lover there is a story," says Dr. Davis. "Why do people love their dogs so much? if you hear their stories, it's not difficult to understand why. "Dr. Davis has studied the r 90 between dogs and people for the last ten years. "I have spoken to people in parks, pet stores, and veterinary (兽医的) offices, as well as stopping people in the street. I have interviewed office workers and farmers, policemen and construction workers," says Dr Davis. "E 91 wants to talk about their dogs. Many people said they cried much more when their dogs died than when their parents did. They said the sadness was much d_ 92 _ . People are finding animals are more reliable than human beings. People tell me all the time that they get more emotional support from their dogs than they do from their husbands or wives."杨浦一I didn't cry when I learned I was the parent of a disabled (残疾的）child."Go ahead and cry," the doctor advised kindly, but I couldn't cry then, nor during the days that followed.When Jenny was old enough, I sent her to a kindergarten. On the first morning, Jenny spent hours playing by herself. It seemed that she felt very1 86 .However, to my joy, Jenny's classmates always encouraged, her, …you got all your spelling words right today!" In fact her spelling list was thee 87 Lateshefaced a very painful problem—at the end of the term, there was a game which had something to do with physical education. But Jenny was waybehind in it:My husband and I were anxious (忧虑）about the day. I wanted to keep her home. Whylet Jenny fail in a gymnasium filled with parents, students and teachers? What a simple s88 ! But my heart wouldn't let me off that easily. So I pushed a pale, unwilling Jenny onto the school bus.At the kindergarten, I was quite worried because of her s 89 action. Jenny would probably hold up (阻碍）her team. The game went on well until it was time for the sack (麻袋）race. Surely Jenny would find it difficult. Now each child had to climb into a sack, jump to the finishing line, return and climb out of the sack. Inoticed Jenny standing near the end of her line of players.But as it was her turn to join, ac90 place in her team. The tallest boy behind Jenny placed his hands on her waist (腰).Two otherboys stood ahead of her. The moment the player before Jenny stepped out from the sack, those two boys picked up the sack quickly and held it open while the tall boy lifted Jenny and dropped her into it. A girl in front of Jenny took her hand ands 91 her until Jenny gained her balance. Then she jumped forward, smiling and proud.In the cheers of teachers, schoolmates and parents, I silently thanked Heaven for the warm, understanding people in life who make itp 92 for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human beings. Then I finally cried.闸北一In 2008, an Indian film Slumdog Millionaire(《贫民窟的百万富翁》) won an Oscar award. It tells the story of a poor young man w__86__ wins the top prize on a TV game show. Now, in r__87__ life, there is a “slumdog millionaire” too. An Indian office worker has b__88__ the first person to winthe＄1 million top prize on the Indian TV game show Who Wants to be a Millionaire.The w__89__ , Sushil Kumar, is 27 years old. He works as a computer operator in agovernment office. He earns around only $120 every month. His house is almost broken down and he had a lot of loans (贷款) to be repaired. He e__90___ watched the T V game show at a neighbour‟s house, because his family is too poor to afford a television set.People are interested in how Kumar will use the prize. Kumar said that he was going to r__91___ his house and fulfill a few basic needs. He would also use part of the prize to study for the civil service(公务员)exams. “I love r___92___,” Kumar said in an interview after his win. “Before winning the prize, I couldn‟t buy many books, but now, I will make a huge library.”青浦一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 isused to help the area's poor and make sure the a (92) hair temple of India keeps going. Believe it.浦东新区一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 firsta___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 are shared by 4 to 10 families.奉贤一A thousand years ago, Hong Kong was covered by a thick forest. As more andmore people came to live in Hong Kong, these trees were cut down and burnt. Now there is no forest left, though there are still some small areas covered with trees. We call these “woods”.Elephants, tigers and many o__86__ animals were living in the thick forest. When people came to live in Hong Kong, the animals began to die out. Early farmers grew rice and r__87__ pigs and chickens in the valleys. They cut down the trees and burnt them. They needed fire to keep t__88__ warm in winter, to cook their food and to drive away the dangerous animals. Elephants quickly d___89__because there was not enough food for them. So did most of the wolves and tigers.You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong e__90__ in the zoos, but there are still about 36 different animals living there. One of the most lovely of Hong Kong‟s animals is the barking deer. There are beautiful li ttle animals w__91__ a rich brown coat and a white patch under the tail. They look like deer but they are much smaller. They are less than two feet high. They make a noise rather like a dog barking. In Hong Kong the barking deer has only one r__92__enemy- men. People hunt these little animals though it is illegal(犯法的). There are now not many barking deer left. So it is important for people to protect these wild animals.虹口一In the middle of the 1800s,France was considered the most important place in the world for art.One reason for that was the Academy,a government organization with some strict r__86____ about art.It decided what could and could not be art. In order to be accepted by the Academy,an artist had to be very talented.Artists also had to paint exactly the way the Academy wanted them to.A brave group of painters challenged(挑战)these ideas and changed art f_87___Each year, the Academy had an exhibition of the art they had decided was the best.In 1864,a group of artists became a ___88____ beca use they didn‟t get into the show.They felt that their paintings were not bad;the paintings were just different.After complaining to the government ,these artists were given their own show.The Academy thought all art should look realistic(逼真).But these artists were more interested in trying to show movement and the bright colors of daylight.In their opinion,it was more real to show these than it was to paint a scene(场景)which was as s_89___as a photo.It was also more interesting to show all of the differe nt colours when light hits an object like water.By 1874,many different artists wer e painting in this new style,including Claude Monet.One of his paintings had the title,Impression:sunrise.A critic(评论家)h__90__these new artists. He used Monet‟s title t o make fun of these painters by calling them“Impressionists（印象派）”，meaning that they didn‟t make real paintings.The critics who liked these artists thought the word was just right.They began to use it happily. They thought it was more important to paint h_91__they saw things instead of just what they saw. Other artists around the world felt that they could have this freedom as well.Because of the impressionists,the art w_92___was never the same.普陀二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 W endy‟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 famouss__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 lookeds___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.
