9、y try to find a solution by trial and error. 23 .， when all of these methods 24 ， the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six 25 in analyzing a problem. 26 the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sams bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he

10、 usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle. Next the person must 27 the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must determine the parts that are wrong. Now the person must look for 28 that will make the problem clearer

11、 and lead to possible solutions. For example, suppose Sam 29 that his bike does not work because there is some thing wrong with the brakes(刹车 ). 30 , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 31 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully. After studying the pro

12、blem, the person should have 32 suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 33 ， his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones. In the end, one 34 seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the _35_ idea comes quite 36 because

13、the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 37 way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum（口香糖） stuck to a brake. He 38 finds the solution to his problem ： he must_39_the brake. Finally the solution is tested .Sam finds that his bicycle 40 perfectly. In sh

24、答案： 【小 题 1】 A 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 C Before a new type of airplane goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others. The first is called the tank(贮水池 ) test. A modem airplane must fly very high in the sky. Air must

25、 be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure (结构 )of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure (压力 ) on a small window is like a huge foot that is try-ing

26、 to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explode (爆炸 )in the sky. To test the structure of the plane, the plane is lowered into a huge tank or container of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is high

27、up in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has broken. Then that part is made stronger. The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flig

28、hts in the air. The pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines (发动机 ) are all shut off at once. The plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilots job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever

29、carry passengers. 【小题 1】 By doing the tank test, the engineers can find out _. A the amount of air in the plane B the strength of the plane structure C the pressure inside and outside the plane D the power of the airplane engines 【小题 2】 What will happen to the plane under the tank test A It will be

30、broken. B It will be made stronger. C It will be filled with water. D It will be tested by pilots, 【小题 3】 According to the text, why are test flights most dangerous A The plane may explode in the air. B The pilot may lose control of the plane. C The engines may be damaged. D Too much air may get int

31、o the plane. 【小题 4】 What might be the most suitable title for the text A Two Important Tests on Airplanes B The Importance of Flying Safely C The Danger of Testing Airplanes D How Airplanes Are Made and Tested 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 A There is an English saying that “Laughter is the b

32、est medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter can really improve peoples health. Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. P

33、eople watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has the same effects as physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of mus

34、cles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial. Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio pr

35、ograms. The group that tolerated（ 忍耐） the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress(压力 ) and pain. As a result of these discoveri

36、es, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics（诊所） , in which they help to improve their patients condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar t

37、o those caused by laughter. 【小题 1】 According to the passage, the following statements are true except . A Laughter is good for health BLaughtercanmakeyoubecomeoldquickly C Laughter helps to reduce pain. D Laughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our body. 【小题 2】 The underlined word “dimini

38、shes” in the third paragraph means “ ”. A enjoys B permits C increases D reduces 【小题 3】 According to the author, we should . A laugh as much as possible B watch more funny films C avoid smiling all the time D spend more time in laughter clinics 【小题 4】 The best title for this passage may be . A Both

39、laughter and physical exercise are good for health B Laughter clinics help patients improve their condition C Laughter can reduce the effects of pain D Laughter is the best medicine. 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 D The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666.

40、 In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives. The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the Kings baker(面包师 )in Pudding Lane. The bak

41、er, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery(面包房 )into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning. By eight oclock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilo

42、meter of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Pauls and the Guildhall among them. Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their

43、houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat. The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out. After the fire, Christopher Wren, th

44、e architect(建筑师 ), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow; but he did build more than fifty churches, among them new St Pauls. The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just

47、treets were very narrow. (c)Many houses were made of wood. (d)There was not enough water in the city. (e)People did not discover the fire earlier. A (a)and(b) B (a),(b)and(c) C (a),(b),(c)and(d) D (a),(b),(c)(d)and(e) 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 B There is one thing that everyone wants mor

48、e than anything else .Some people try to get it by making money .They think that when they have enough money to buy such things as houses ,arms ,and cars ,they will have the one thing that everyone wants .
