19、词语的正确形式填空 If you go out to the fields at night in spring or summer, you can hear frogs singing 46 (joy) here and there. It seems as if they were performing a field symphony.

20、 number of pests that are harmful 47 crops. This little creature is regarded 48 the natural enemy of pests. 49 now frogs are getting fewer and fewer. This is because they are killed and put on the table as a delicious dish by their chief enemy, human beings. It is _50_ shameless（无耻的） and cruel act,
21、isnt it? 51 cause (起因）responsible for the rapid reduction of frogs is that farmers use insecticides (杀虫剂) to kill pests and frogs get killed as a result of drinking poisoned water 52 eating poison-killed insects.

24、ve me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan.” And my mother was standing beside m
25、e whispering loudly, “Why he dont send me check already two weeks late.”And then, in perfect English I said : “Im getting rather concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasnt arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” An
26、d so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I cant tolerate any more excuse. If I dont receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, wa
27、s shouting to his boss in her broken English. o m When I was a teenager, my mothers broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mothers English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observa
28、tion and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.56. Why was the authors mother poorly served? w_w w. k#s5_u.c o*m A.

In other words, we do not educate chi
32、ldren only for the purpose of educating them. our purpose is to fit them for life. In many modern countries it has for some time been fashionable（流行的）to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupid - one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation.
33、 But we can already see that free education for all is not enough: we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees（学位）they refuse to do what they think low work; and in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to th
34、ink a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor: we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our tow
35、nsIn fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability, and secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very ba

A perfect nation can solve all the problems of society.D. A professor is far more important than a farmer. C Text messaging(发信息）was designed for quick ex
40、change of information. For messages that need short words, the short messaging systems are preferred. In a public place, for example, it is better for people to send text messages than to talk loudly and disturb others with their conversation. It has its advantages, but sadly, there are also disadva
41、ntages.There have been several celebrities (名人）and TV shows raising the problem about accidents caused by sending or reading text messages while driving.

42、ing as it requires the driver to take his eyes off the road and onto the phone. It is a most dangerous thing to do while driving.The other disadvantage is the poor spelling habit that it develops among young people. It is natural for them to want to make a shorter form of the words so as to get it d
43、one quickly. However, they carry this through even when writing formal documents (文件).
