Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically co

16、rrect. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.（A）Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of the

17、se objects that actually _25_ (make) them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a womans shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique about this shoe is _26_ it was found. It was discovered on

18、the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there _27_ (be) not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved out of ice? Or did she throw away goods that she didnt need in order to tr

19、avel_28_(light)?Over 100, 000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure _29_ the cold weather.The Canadian go

20、vernment finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks each _30_ (weigh) up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to th

21、e top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must_31_ (be) a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made_32_ to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the

22、19th century.（B）An old friendship had grown cold. Where once there had been closeness, there was only strain. Now pride kept me from picking up the phone.Then one day I dropped in on another old friend, whos had a long career as a minister and counselor. We were seated in his study-surrounded by may

23、be a thousand books and fell into deep conversation about everything from small computers to the tormented life of Beethoven.The subject finally turned to friendship and _33_ perishable it seems to be these days. I mentioned my own experience as an example. “Relationships are mysteries,” my friend s

24、aid. “Some endure. _34_ fall apart.”Gazing out his window to the wooded Vermont hills, he pointed toward a neighboring farm, “Used to be a large barn over there.” Next to a red-frame house were the footings of _35_ had been a sizable structure.“It was solidly built, probably in the 1870s. But like s

25、o many of the places around here, it went down because people left for richer lands in the Midwest. No one took care of the barn. Its roof needed _36_(patch); rainwater got under the eaves and dripped down inside the posts and beams.”One day a high wind came along, and the whole barn began to trembl

26、e. “You could hear this creaking, first, like old sailing-ship timbers, and then a sharp series of cracks and a tremendous roaring sound. Suddenly it was a heap of scrap lumber.”“After the storm blew over, I went down and saw these beautiful, old oak timbers, solid as could be. I asked the fellow wh

27、o owns the place what had happened. He said he figured the rainwater _37_(settle) in the pinholes, where wooden dowels held the joints together. Once those pins were rotted, there was nothing to link the giant beams together.”We both gazed down the hill. Now all that was left of the barn was its cel

28、lar and its border of lilac shrubs.My friend said he had turned the incident over and over in his mind, and finally came to recognize some parallels between building a friendship: _ _38_ _ strong you are, how notable your attainments, you have enduring significance only in your relationship to other

29、s.“To make your life a sound structure that will serve others and fulfill your own potential,” he said, “you have to remember that strength, however massive, cant endure _39_ it has the interlocking support of others. Go it alone and youll inevitably tumble.”“Relationships have to be cared for,” he

30、added, “like the roof of a barn. Letters unwritten, thanks unsaid, confidences violated, quarrels unsettled-all this acts like rainwater seeping into the pegs, weakening the link between the beams.”My friend shook his head. “It was _40_ good barn. And it would have taken little to keep it in good re

31、pair. Now it will probably never be rebuilt.”Later that afternoon I got ready to leave. “You wouldnt like to borrow my phone to make a call, I dont suppose?” he asked.“Yes.” I said, “I think I would. Very much.”Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. A. criticism B. acclaimed C. shifts D. institute E. industriousness F. estab
