9、problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 21 problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without 22 ；they try to find a solution by trial and error. 23 .，when all of these methods 24 ，the person with
10、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 usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the person must 27 the p
11、roblem. 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 and lead to possible solutions. For example, suppose Sam 29 that his bike does not work because the
12、re 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 problem, the person should have 32 suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 33 ，his su
13、ggestions 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 the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 37 way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees t
14、here 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 four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close
26、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 baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the ba
27、kery(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 kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known build
28、ings, 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 houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.The fire stopped only when the King finally or
29、dered 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,the 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
30、 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 of the past.45.The fire began in. A. a hotel B. the palace C. Pudding LaneD. Thames Street46.The underlined word family in the

32、g in the direction of the fire were pulled down.48.Which of the following were reasons for the rapid spread of the big fire? (a)There was a strong wind. (b)The streets 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 e
33、arlier. A. (a)and(b) B.(a),(b)and(c) C.(a),(b),(c)and(d) D.(a),(b),(c)(d)and(e)CThere is an English saying that “Laughter is the best 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
34、have found that laughter can really improve peoples health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People 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.
35、It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of muscles 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 t
36、he effects of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. 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
37、it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress(压力) and pain.As a result of these discoveries, 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 e
38、ven if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.49According to the passage, the following statements are true except .ALaughter is good for health BLaughter can make you become old quicklyCLaughter
39、helps to reduce pain. DLaughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our body.50The underlined word “diminishes” in the third paragraph means “ ”.Aenjoys Bpermits Cincreases Dreduces51According to the author, we should .Alaugh as much as possible Bwatch more funny filmsCavoid smiling all the ti
40、me Dspend more time in laughter clinics52The best title for this passage may be .ABoth laughter and physical exercise are good for healthBLaughter clinics help patients improve their conditionCLaughter can reduce the effects of pain DLaughter is the best medicine. D Before a new type of airplane goe
41、s 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 be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal str
42、ucture (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 trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explod
43、e (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 up in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much dama
44、ge 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 flights in the air. The pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines (
45、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 carry passengers.53. By doing the tank test, the engineers can find out _.A. the
46、 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 engines54. What will happen to the plane under the tank test?A. It will be broken. B. It will be made stronger. C. It will be filled with water. D. It will be
47、tested by pilots,55. 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 into the plane.56. What might be the most suitable title for the text? A. Two Import
