we were shown to the local mosque where hundreds of locals were cooking, collecting and distributing food and supplies for those less 44 . in the three days we were waiting to leave, we saw many examples of ordinary sri lankans, many of whom had lost friends, 45 and livelihoods（生计，谋生方式）, trying to help others who were worse off. it was a very moving experience.we have since been 46 the family who took us in and they are saying that what their country needs most urgently is practical help, doctors, nurses and medicines, helping to 47 roads and rebuilding electricity and water supplies. these people would have done anything to help us, it is time for the british government to do more to help them. 36. a. heardb. watchedc. learntd. moved37. a. tellingb. forcingc. waitingd. ordering38. a. waveb. floodc. hurricaned. water39. a. panicb. peacec. silenced. violence40. a. looked intob. turned toc. jumped intod. broke into41. a. safetyb. warmthc. goodnessd. dreams42. a. wellb. farc. soond. long43. a. kindnessb. happinessc. loved. destruction44. a. carefulb. fortunate c. dependentd. energetic45. a. childrenb. expertsc. familyd. relatives46. a. in honor of b. by way ofc. in contact withd. on behalf of47. a. makeb. clearc. cleand. build5.阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。our two dogs, ricky and lucy have been with us for about ten years. phil, our youngest is about three years old. we have known one thing over these years. whenever _36_ approach long before we are aware of them, my dogs begin to _37_ them. they began to hide and shake. i am _38_ sure that they wont eat, either. since this has become part of our lives, whenever we know _39_, we will make every _40_ to take them into the yard a number of times. because once the storm is here, fear steps in where natures calling（想上厕所的感觉）ends. anyway, it was my recent _41_ with ricky that made me realize that dogs arent the only ones who have _42_ fears. i talked; he listened. i was not sure if he could pay attention to me. experience has proved that he didnt _43_. he just tried to survive the talk.“ricky, youve _44_ these storms so many times before and nothing _45_ has happened to you” i said. “its just sound” i reasoned. “sound has never _46_ you.” regardless of my comforting words, he _47_ to shake a bit. _48_, this talk brought to light a new inspiration: we people do _49_ things. we fear things that we have no real _50_ of or no past experience with and build upon that fear without logic. people say “its how i feel.” actually, thats the exact _51_ for many limitations people have come to call failures in lives. theres no real evidence indicating that we should _52_ going to school, starting a new job, asking for a raise and so on.dogs just dont have the _53_ to find reasonable alternative choices. we do. so, when youre terrified next time, just _54_ me talking to ricky. know that you do have better _55_, higher intelligence and the ability to take control of a situation. 36. a. earthquakes b. warsc. thunderstormsd. floods37. a. identifyb. sensec. controld. prevent38. a. almostb. alwaysc. neverd. hardly39. a. at firstb. in advancec. in the endd. later on 40. a. effortb. progressc. advanced. measure41. a. quarrelb. cooperationc. adventured. conversation42. a. unreasonable b. unnecessaryc. overmuchd. significant43. a. cheerb. listenc. recoverd. judge44. a. heard ofb. put up withc. gone throughd. fought against45. a. splendidb. evidentc. appealingd. awful46. a. influencedb. followedc. harmedd. fetched47. a. hesitatedb. continuedc. pausedd. struggled48. a. moreoverb. thereforec. howeverd. otherwise49. a. similarb. complexc. typicald. extreme50. a. supportb. expectationc. intentiond. knowledge51. a. hardshipb. wishc. basisd. difficulty52. a. avoidb. appreciatec. hated. fear53. a. abilityb. opportunityc. determinationd. courage54. a. watchb. imaginec. remindd. admire55. a. choicesb. receptionc. luckd. experiences6.阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。i was watching a tv series one night when i took in one scene. a man was seeking his community votes, and people 16 wanted to know why they should give him their 17 . he took them to his house and on every 18 in his house was the word “faith” pasted. people raised lots of 19 to find out why the word was pasted on his mirrors. he said, “my dad often 20 me to believe that as long as you have 21 ,you should have faith. every time you look into the mirror, youre looking at yourself and see faith. ”the 22 i learned from this is simplefaith is a living thing and in the same way were all 23 given 24 hours a day and were all given the same measure of faith. faith keeps us going when things get 24 !
