How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a cell phone can help us. However many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different w 76 of telling the time.About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians i 77 the sun clock. This was a tall stone structure. Its shadow (影子)showed the movement of the s 78 they were able to determine(测定)midday.About 3,500 years ago,the Egyptians made a sundial. It was smaller than the sun clock and could measure (测量)the time for half a day. On c 79 days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial.Water clocks were the f 80 clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows(流动)from one container(容器)to another. When the water reaches a certain l 81_it moves a lever (控制杆)and this shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China but they f 82 to keep accurate(精确的)time.In the 13th century. the mechanical clock was invented. This was more accurate, b 83 was expensive to make. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs(发条)were added around 1500. This i 84 accuracy and allowed clocks to be smaller.In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build and own. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, markets and so on.More recently, in1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites(人造卫星)send our cell phones the time to the exact second. There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping but some things never c 85 . Man of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not missing appointments.2017八、综合填空(本大题共10 小题,每小题1 分,共10 分)根据短文内容及首字母提示,填写所缺单词,使短文意思完整。

2015In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play many different k___81____ of music—everything from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so p 82 ? Is it their music? Their looks? Yes, it's both of the things, but it’s a 83 something else: they're elephants.These musical elephants started at the TECC(泰国大象保护中心)in Lampang. The TECC protectselephants. It teaches people to understand and love them. And, like many zoos a 84 the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint.Richard Lair w 85 for the TECC. He loves his job there and knows a lot about elephants. He says some of the animals' paintings are very good. But, in fact, elephants h 86 better than they see. And so he had an idea: if elephants are s 87 and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra. During a performance(表演), the elephants play a number ofi 88 , including the drums and the xylophone(木琴).But can elephants really make music properly? Yes, says Lair. They are very creative. Human e 89 the animals to play, but the elephants make their own songs; they don't just copy their trainers o 90 other people. There are now CDs of the group’s music which make money for the TECC. And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.2014On July2, 1937, Amelia Earhart( an American pilot) and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific. This was the longest and most dangerous part of their t 81 around the world. Earhart had trouble soon after the plane took off. The weather was very bad, so she had tof 82 at 3,000 metres. Going this high, the plane used fuel quickly.After about 20 h 83 , Earhart and Noonan got close to Howland Island. The island was o 84 about 65 miles (英里) away, but the bright sun was shining in their faces so they couldn’t see it. Near Howland, a ship was w 85 for the plane. Earhart contacted the ship: “We don’t have enough fuel,” she said. The ship tried to stay in touch with her b 86 got no answer. Finally, the ship called for help. People looked for Earhart and Noonan for days. However, they found nothing.What happened to Amelia Earhart? No one knows for sure. D 87 the flight, she probably moved inthe wrong direction(方向) because the sun was bright and it was d 88 to see. So she got lost; soon after, her plane ran out of fuel, and she died at sea. Another idea is that she survived(幸存) the plane crash(飞机失事), s 89 to a lonely island, and later died there. Still other think she survived the crash and secretly returned to the U.S. with a new identity(身份).Till now, none of these i 90 has been proved. People are still wondering about them. (Noonan’s body has neve r been found either.) No matter what happened, Earhart probably died as she wished. “When I go,” she said, “I’d like best to go in my plane.”2013Many people say dolphins are very intelligent (聪颖的). They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly. But are they c 81 like humans or more like cats or dogs? Scientists say dolphin intelligence is s 82 to human intelligence in some ways. How?Like humans, every dolphin has a “name”. I 83 is a special whistle (哨声). Scientists think dolphins, like people. “t 84 ” to each other about a lot of things, such as their age, their feelings, or finding food. And, like humans, dolphins use a system (系统) of sounds and body language to c 85 . But understanding their co nversations is not easy for humans. No one “speaks dolphin” yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups, and they often come to play games fromdifferent groups and have f 86 , just like people. In fact, playing t 87 is something only intelligent animals do.Dolphins and humans b 88 make plans to get something they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, dolphins use an interesting way to get food. When fish are n 89 a boat, dolphins signal (发信号) to the fishermen to put their nets (网) in the water. And the men can catch a lot of fish. What is the advantage for the dolphins? Why do they h 90 the men? The dolphins can get some of the fish.2012Parents sometimes learn much from their children.Many years ago, a 81 my friend David worked day and night, he was still not rich. One day, when he arrived h 82 after work, he found his 3-year-old daughter wa s decorating a box with some expensive wrapping paper. He thought she was w 83 money and became angry with her. He even p 84 his daughter by beating her. However, the little girl brought the box to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy. Merry Christmas!” He was embarrassed (尴尬) by hisoverreaction (过激反应), but he became angry a 85 when he found the box was empty.He shouted at h er, “Don’t you know that when you give someone a present, there should be s86 inside it?”The little girl looked up at him with t 87 in her eyes and said, “Oh, Daddy. I blew kisses in the box. I filled it with my l 88 . All for you, Daddy.”The father was very surprised. He put his arms around his little girl, and said s 89 to her. Later, David told me that he kept that box by his bed for years. When he was discouraged(情绪低落), he would take out an imaginary (想像的) kiss from the box and r 90 the love of the child.2011Bill and Simon were good friends. One summer they were on h . They wanted to sail around the Caribbean Sea in their boat for two weeks.During their trip, they saw many whales. Bill and Simon were very e because they had wanted to see them very much. Unluckily, w they were watching them, the whales began to hit the side of the boat.Suddenly, w started coming in, and they realized that they were in trouble. They q jumped into the lifeboat before the sank(沉没), and watched it disappear under the sea.Luckily, they had enough food and water for about twenty d . They also had a fishing line and a machine which could change sea water i drinking water. These two things helped them to survive(存活) during their terrible experience.For the next fifty days they caught about ten fish a day and a them. They saw about twenty ships, but although they waved and shouted when the ships were passing, n saw them. They were becoming weaker and weaker. Then, just as they were beginning to l hope, a fishing boat saved them.2010Think about two people you know. How would you describe their personalities? Are they the s_________(81)? Of course not! Everyone is different. Even identical twins have different personalities. Some people are very outgoing (外向的) and friendly. They like to be w_________(82) other people all the time. Maybe they like to be the centre of attention. And some people are quiet—maybe even s_________(83). They can be friendly, too. But they like to be alone or with just a f_________(84) friends.Some people worry a lot. They may worry about many things, such as their jobs, their families and anything that may happen in the future. H_________(85), some people don’t worry about anything!

They don’t care about d_________(88) things right or getting things done on time. Hard-working people always get more chances than those lazy o_________(89) in life.And don’t f_________(90) this: Everyone is different. That means you are special!2009Eleven-year-old Antonin Careme could not believe that his father had ordered a lot of delicious food. It was an unexpected (意料不到的) dinner b (81) the Careme family was poor. As he was eating thankfully, his father e (82) to him in a sad voice that this would be a farewell meal. His father could no l (83) support all his children, so Antonin would have to leave home to make moneyh (84).After the meal, Antonin walked a (85) the streets, wondering who would take him in. He knocked on the door of a restaurant where the o (86) happened to need an assistant. In the restaurant, young Antonin g (87) his first lesson in cooking. He was hardworking and his employer (雇主) decided to teach hima (88) the skills and secrets of French cooking. When he was fifteen years old, Antonintrained under the famous cook, Baily.One of Baily’s customers was s (89) impressed with Antonin’s style of cooking tha t he asked him to be his p (90) cook, working at his home. Antonin later went on to work for a diplomat, a banker and even the king.2008There are two main kinds of sports. These two kinds of sports are team sports and individual(个人的) sports. Team sports are such as baseball, basketball and v (81). Team sports r (82) two separate(独立的) teams. The teams play against each other. They compete against each other in order to get high s (83). For example, in a football game, if team A get 7 points and team B get 3 points, team A wins the game. Team sports are sometimes c (84) competitive sports.Besides team sports, there is a (85) main type, or kind, of sporting activities. This is individual sports. In individual sports, there is n (86) teams. There isn’t any competition. People play individual sports in order to get exercise. They don’t play individual sports for competition. G (87), they want to get some exercise, not to win a game. Individual sports are such sports as swimming, skiing, and r(88).Of course it is possible to compete in individual sports. It is possible to keep a score in individual sports. The main difference, however, b (89) teams sports and individual sports is that individual sports can be performed alone. Team sports need more than o (90) person.2007Knowing how to use a computer is an essential skill for everyone w (81)wants to succeed in today’s world .

A short time ago,a test w(83) given in the United States. People of different a (84),from 12 to 83,were asked to have a test. During the test,these people were given all kinds of breakfasts and s (85)they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well t (86) bodies worked when they had had different kinds of breakfasts.The results show that if a person e (87)a right breakfast,he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit,eggs,bread and milk b(88)going to school,he will learn more quickly a (89)listen more carefully in class.The results a(90) show that having no breakfast will not h (91) you lose weight. This is because people become so h(92) at noon that they eat too much for lunch. So they will gain weight instead of losing weight.2005Only Mother Love is true love . It gives everybody everything all h (86) life. When you are still a baby, mother takes good care of you as p (87).In yourw (88) hours she always holds you in her arms. When you are ill, she stops her work right now tolook after you day and night a (89) forgets about herself. When you are growing up day b (90)day, she feels very happy.

She always stands in the wind w (91) for you back from school. When you hurry to leave home for school with little breakfast, she you back from school.

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。
这种试题的首字母已给,所填的就必须是该字母开头的单词。
这既是一种限制,又是一种提示. 要做好此类题目,考生不但要有较强的语感,善于体会上下文的内在联系,而且要有扎实的语言知识储备和较大的词汇量。
首字母考查重点是名词、动词、形容词、副词和代词以及连词和介词这几大词类。

在初步阅读中,可以跳过空格,尽量捕捉文章所提供的内容信息,以及语法结构方面的提示,有助于下一步的分析与判断。
◆再读全文,理清脉络通读全文、掌握大意后,还应逐字逐句地仔细阅读,从文意中找出句与文、句与句、词与句、词与词之间的关系,尤其是一些不易察觉的、隐含的微妙关系,用已知信息去获取未知信息,以便初步确定答案。

有的学生经过思考确定了一个意思正确的词作为答案,但忽略了从语法角度再进行验证,因而出现了一些与时态、人称等有关的词形变化的错误。
如果填的词是名词,首先要考虑到单、复数的问题;如果是动词,要考虑应使用什么时态和语态。
◆注意:填入的词既能使句意通顺,又能做到语法、用词搭配的正确。
如bought易误答成buy;lights易误答成light;reaches易误答成reach; heavier易误答成heavy等。

2016On July2, 1937, Amelia Earhart( an American pilot) and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific. This was the longest and most dangerous part of their t 81 around the world. Earhart had trouble soon after the plane took off. The weather was very bad, so she had tof 82 at 3,000 metres. Going this high, the plane used fuel quickly.After about 20 h 83 , Earhart and Noonan got close to Howland Island. The island was o 84about 65 miles (英里) away, but the bright sun was shining in their faces so they couldn’t see it. Near Howland, a ship was w 85 for the plane. Earhart contacted the ship: “We don’t have enough fuel,” she said. The ship tried to stay in touch with her b 86 got no answer. Finally, the ship called for help. People looked for Earhart and Noonan for days. However, they found nothing.What happened to Amelia Earhart? No one knows for sure. D 87 the flight, she probably moved in the wrong direction(方向) because the sun was bright and it was d 88 to see. So she got lost; soon after, her plane ran out of fuel, and she died at sea. Another idea is that she survived(幸存) the plane crash(飞机失事), s 89 to a lonely island, and later died there. Still other think she survived the crash and secretly returned to the U.S. with a new identity(身份).Till now, none of these i 90 has been proved. People are still wondering about them. (Noonan’s body has never been found either.) No matter what happened, Earhart probably died as she wi shed. “When I go,” she said, “I’d like best to go in my plane.”2015Many people say dolphins are very intelligent (聪颖的). They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly. But are they c 81 like humans or more like cats or dogs? Scientists say dolphin intelligence is s 82 to human intelligence in some ways. How?Like humans, every dolphin has a “name”. I 83 is a special whistle (哨声). Scientists think dolphins, like people. “t 84 ” to each other about a lo t of things, such as their age, their feelings, or finding food. And, like humans, dolphins use a system (系统) of sounds and body language to c 85 . But understanding their conversations is not easy for humans. No one “speaks dolphin” yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups, and they often come to play games fromdifferent groups and have f 86 , just like people. In fact, playing t 87 is something only intelligent animals do.Dolphins and humans b 88 make plans to get something they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, dolphins use an interesting way to get food. When fish are n 89 a boat, dolphins signal (发信号) to the fishermen to put their nets (网) in the water. And the men can catch a lot of fish. What is the advantage for the dolphins? Why do they h 90 the men? The dolphins can get some of the fish.2013Parents sometimes learn much from their children.Many years ago, a 81 my friend David worked day and night, he was still not rich. One day, when he arrived h 82 after work, he found his 3-year-old daughter wa s decorating a box with some expensive wrapping paper. He thought she was w 83 money and became angry with her. He even p 84 his daughter by beating her. However, the little girl brought the box to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy. Merry Christmas!” He was embarrassed (尴尬) by his overreaction (过激反应), but he became angry a 85 when he found the box was empty.He shouted at her, “Don’t you know that when you give someone a present, there should be s86 inside it?”The little girl looked up at him with t 87 in her e yes and said, “Oh, Daddy. I blew kisses in the box. I filled it with my l 88 . All for you, Daddy.”The father was very surprised. He put his arms around his little girl, and said s 89 to her. Later, David told me that he kept that box by his bed for years. When he was discouraged(情绪低落), he would take out an imaginary (想像的) kiss from the box and r 90 the love of the child.2012Bill and Simon were good friends. One summer they were on h . They wanted to sail around the Caribbean Sea in their boat for two weeks.During their trip, they saw many whales. Bill and Simon were very e because they had wanted to see them very much. Unluckily, w they were watching them, the whales began to hit the side of the boat.Suddenly, w started coming in, and they realized that they were in trouble. They q jumped into the lifeboat before the sank(沉没), and watched it disappear under the sea.Luckily, they had enough food and water for about twenty d . They also had a fishing line and amachine which could change sea water i drinking water. These two things helped them to survive(存活) during their terrible experience.For the next fifty days they caught about ten fish a day and a them. They saw about twenty ships, but although they waved and shouted when the ships were passing, n saw them. They were becoming weaker and weaker. Then, just as they were beginning to l hope, a fishing boat saved them.2010Think about two people you know. How would you describe their personalities? Are they the s_________(81)? Of course not! Everyone is different. Even identical twins have different personalities. Some people are very outgoing (外向的) and friendly. They like to be w_________(82) other people all the time. Maybe they like to be the centre of attention. And some people are quiet—maybe even s_________(83). They can be friendly, too. But they like to be alone or with just a f_________(84) friends.Some people worry a lot. They may worry about many things, such as their jobs, their families and anything that may happen in the future. H_________(85), some people don’t worry abo ut anything! They n_________(86) mind what is going on next. These people are very relaxed.Some people are hard-working. They always do their b_________(87). But some people are lazy. They don’t care about d_________(88) things right or getting things don e on time. Hard-working people always get more chances than those lazy o_________(89) in life.And don’t f_________(90) this: Everyone is different. That means you are special!2009Eleven-year-old Antonin Careme could not believe that his father had ordered a lot of delicious food. It was an unexpected (意料不到的) dinner b (81) the Careme family was poor. As he was eating thankfully, his father e (82) to him in a sad voice that this would be a farewell meal. His father could no l (83) support all his children, so Antonin would have to leave home to make moneyh (84).After the meal, Antonin walked a (85) the streets, wondering who would take him in. He knocked on the door of a restaurant where the o (86) happened to need an assistant. In the restaurant, young Antonin g (87) his first lesson in cooking. He was hardworking and his employer (雇主) decided to teach hima (88) the skills and secrets of French cooking. When he was fifteen years old, Antonintrained under the famous cook, Baily.One of Baily’s customers was s (89) impressed with Antonin’s style of cooking tha t he asked him to be his p (90) cook, working at his home. Antonin later went on to work for a diplomat, a banker and even the king.2008There are two main kinds of sports. These two kinds of sports are team sports and individual(个人的) sports. Team sports are such as baseball, basketball and v (81). Team sports r (82) two separate(独立的) teams. The teams play against each other. They compete against each other in order to get high s (83). For example, in a football game, if team A get 7 points and team B get 3 points, team A wins the game. Team sports are sometimes c (84) competitive sports.Besides team sports, there is a (85) main type, or kind, of sporting activities. This is individual sports. In individual sports, there is n (86) teams. There isn’t any competition. People play individual sports in order to get exercise. They don’t play individual sports for competition. G (87), they want to get some exercise, not to win a game. Individual sports are such sports as swimming, skiing, and r (88).Of course it is possible to compete in individual sports. It is possible to keep a score in individual sports. The main difference, however, b (89) teams sports and individual sports is that individual sports can be performed alone. Team sports need more than o (90) person.2007Knowing how to use a computer is an essential skill for everyone w (81)wants to succeed in today’s world . One basic computer program that everyone should learn to use is the word processing program . Most types of writing are e (82)produced with a word processing program . For e (83), everyone must sometimes write a business letter . Using a computer allows you to arrange(整理、排列)and rearrange information easily , making your writing more c (84)and exactly correct .

A short time ago,a test w(83) given in the United States. People of different a (84),from 12 to 83,were asked to have a test. During the test,these people were given all kinds of breakfasts and s (85)they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well t (86) bodies worked when they had had different kinds of breakfasts.The results show that if a person e (87)a right breakfast,he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit,eggs,bread and milk b(88)going to school,he will learn more quickly a (89)listen more carefully in class.The results a(90) show that having no breakfast will not h (91) you lose weight. This is because people become so h(92) at noon that they eat too much for lunch. So they will gain weight instead of losing weight.2005Only Mother Love is true love . It gives everybody everything all h (86) life. When you are still a baby, mother takes good care of you as p (87).In yourw (88) hours she always holds you in her arms. When you are ill, she stops her work right now to look after you day and night a (89) forgets about herself. When you are growing up day b (90)day, she feels very happy. When you are old enough to go to school, mother still looks after you all the time. On cold winter days, she always tells you to put on more clothes. She always stands in the wind w (91) for you back from school. When you hurry to leave home for school with little breakfast, she you back from school. When you hurry to leave home for school with little breakfast, she always feels w (92) about you at home. She usually knows about your study and spends much money on your school things. When you do well at school, you will see the brightest smile on her face.Mother is always ready to give everything she h (93) to her children, n (94) to receive. What true love that is in the w (95)!

Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained (训练)to do a number of simple jobs i (81)of people. They say that at a circus(杂技场), for example, we may' see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals doing q (82) skillful (熟练的)things. Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film.
