Most villagers only possessed one broom, a few tins and several jars and their rectangular grass huts with round
120、 angles _3_(surround) by weeds. Besides, their school had no roof and platform,_4_the students had no concept of clicking a computer at all. They were badly in need.Soon, the astronaut made a generous voluntary donation to the village. There were textbooks for students, sewing machines for tailors a

The hardship of this crossing was apparent.At first, he made a living by means of raising cattle and then _
129、3_ (hire)in aircraft industries. He lived in a Catholic district. Taking in a small percentage of Pakistani immigrants, the majority of the residents were from Italy and Denmark, _4_ all kept up their customs and cultures.

The man was elected vice chairman of the Social

This drawback cast him down. Merely 2 weeks later, the clones and their carrier died, _3_
134、 struck frustration into his heart. He retired before he attained his ambition and became a member of an opera chorus _4_(relieve) his depression.Shortly afterwards, the media published a conservative argument _5_(object) to cloning owing to moral problems, and suggested the constitution include com

Altogether, being more careful is reasonable _10_ we may walk into a side road.”38. Strange Patent Applications I set about working in the current Patent Office after resigning from
137、the court personnel. Competent and dynamic, I never feel passive while _1_(dive) into the identifications of whether applications are valid and _2_(practice) according to the new version of the criteria._3_ the expectation of distinguishing their own importance, some people leave the beaten track an

He called us up
139、_5_ merrily claimed it was stable and convenient to use, and never out of order. I asked him to hang on, but this innocent man just rang off and set out _6_(fly )from his courtyard. I dialed _7_ number in the directory trying to ring him back, but never got through.Merciful God blessing, _8_ abrupt
140、freezing rainfall made his powder wet. Luckily, the trouble was without any extension except that he crashed into a greengrocers making all the ripe fruits become messy jam. _9_ people seized this crazy man with caution and sobered him by tapping his face, he complained about the bad weather instead
141、 of associating his failure _10_ his unscientific design.39. Pronunciation and Status An ambassador and a referee were consulting a professor on the caption of a Buddhistic alphabet when a sobbing woman stopped them to sell an antique musical bathtub. Her dirty garment and the handkerchief _1_ her w
142、aist were badly in need ofsending to a laundry. The ambassador _2_(comfortable) gave her a handful of pence from his wallet and said, “Take this fortune away, troublesome woman.” _3_ her figure faded away, the brilliant professor said, “You are mistaken and your improper remark on her shouldbe conde
143、mned. In terms of this extraordinary woman, you cant classify her status by _4_ horrible clothes or disgusting nails. Her clean woolen vest and stockings, especially her classic pronunciation, all _5_(suggest) her upper status.” The ambassador gave a whistle in amazement, and advised _6_(make) her a
144、cquaintance. The professor hesitated for a while, then compromised. The outcome was _7_ she was an authentic superior police officer. When they _8_(show)in her office and saw her once more, she brought them a teapot of tea and some cookies, laughing and saying, “I rubbed some cream and wax on my gar
145、ment and passed myself off as a shabby woman _9_thieves and robbers to investigate a plot. Generally speaking, your overlooking me and my adaptation are the best help. But mypronunciation seemed _10_(betray) me.”40. A Sly Murder When giving a lecture about the significance of punctuation, the academ
146、ic professor was interrupted and arrested by the police for murdering his wife, a receptionist of a kindergarten. The police found some photos he deleted from their e-album _1_(show) that they used to have a gay life. But, fed up with her wrinkled face, he murdered her instead of divorcing her _2_(a
147、void) fortune division. He cut up a kind of seashell _3_ a sharpened knife, and hammered it into powder on a skateboard, and made at most one gram, which was enough to accelerate ones pulse _4_he or she dies.

Howling and scratching her chest, she felt dizzy and died soon.After tentative examination, the police assumed _7_ died of heart disease. But systematic botanical analyses showed that the watermelon spit on the messy m
149、at and the quilt was _8_(poison). Regardless of exhaustion and starvation, the acute and skilful policemen _9_ (use) radioactive equipment to make sure the category of the poison. Primitive and not ample _10_ their alternative equipment was, they got perfect accuracy somehow. People applauded the police and the womans family can look ahead with relief now.
