If you hear the word “castle” or the word “palace”， you may picture the same kind of building for both: large, made of stones, probably with a tower. And, of course, you're not entirely wrong, as those are features of both palaces and castles.
So then why bother to visit one royal building in the United Kingdom—Buckingham Palace and another in the same country— Windsor Castle It turns out that there is a difference, and you can find it pretty plainly in these two popular buildings.
The Case for Castles
Castles were residences for royalty. But they were also intended as defensive seats. Say you're a king who has taken a particular area over. Now you have to hold it. So you build a castle and staff it with soldiers to defend your conquered territory and ensure it remains part of your kingdom.
Castles were built throughout Europe and the Middle East primarily for the protection of the king and his people. Some common features of castles include：
●thick walls and heavy gates to keep invaders out
●protective low walls for archers to shoot with cover
●high towers for keeping a lookout for the surrounding lands
●gatehouses for admitting allies instead of allowing enemies into the castle
The Place for Palaces
Palaces, on the contrary, had no defensive purposes. They were first meant for showing off the great victory of the war. Palaces were where the spoils (战利品) of war might be displayed, along with grand architecture, massive banquet halls, golden table settings and maybe even hundreds of luxuriously decorated rooms.
While kings certainly took up residence in palaces as well as castles, nonmilitary royals might also have lived in (or still live in) palaces. Ministers could live in castles to show the power of their riches rather than their nonexistent military power. The term comes from Palatine Hill in Rome.
文章大意：本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了城堡和宫殿的不同之处。
1．Which of the following is one feature of castles？ B
A．Low towers surrounding castles.
B．Defensive low walls for shooting.
C．Gatehouses allowing enemies into the castle.
D．Thick walls and heavy gates to lock invaders in.

2．Why were palaces first built？ D
A．To accommodate ordinary soldiers.
B．To defend the king's conquered territory.
C．To show off the art of royal painting.
D．To display huge success of the war.

3．What is the main purpose of the text？ B
A．To list the reasons for kings' living in palaces.
B．To make a comparison between castles and palaces.
C．To talk about the value of castles in modern times.

解析：写作目的题。根据第二段最后一句“It turns out that there is a difference，and you can find it pretty plainly in these two popular buildings.”以及下文中对城堡和宫殿的特点的介绍可知，本文是为了对比城堡和宫殿。

(2021·河南省南阳市一中月考)
Have you ever heard a rumor spread around by students at your school Rumors, like fake news, can often misinform individuals and lead them to believe false information.
In an attempt to settle this problem, the country of Singapore has passed a bill that bans companies and individuals from publishing false information online.
This law, known as The Protection From Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Bill, has caused a public outcry (强烈的抗议), as the government has been given the power to remove content that it considers inaccurate or against the public's interest.
Since Singapore's citizens are part of different racial and religious groups, the government fears that rumors or fake news can increase tensions within an already small country.
With the new law coming into effect, Singapore's government now has the authority to monitor news sites, social media platforms, and other databases of information to determine whether the content is falsified. The government can order for the removal of fake news, and publishers of this information can receive prison time and fines up to one million Singapore dollars!
Critics fear that the bill threatens their freedom of speech and freedom of expression. Since national issues and world news are generally discussed on online platforms, many are concerned that this new bill will prevent individuals from talking freely and having healthy conversations.
Several companies, including Google, Facebook, and Twitter, have offices situated in Singapore, meaning that the new law will affect their company operations. Social media companies in Singapore could face a decline in activity, as users may fear posting their opinions and being punished by the government.
Others are concerned that the law does not clearly state what a “false statement” is. Such an ambiguity might allow the government to misuse their power, even though the intention is to curtail the mow of false information and rumors throughout Singapore.
This law does give rise to several concerns related to freedom and privacy and it will be interesting to see what Singapore's government will do to deal with this problem.
文章大意：本文是一篇新闻报道类文章。新加坡通过了一个旨在惩罚虚假新闻发布者法案，一些人认为这会影响到他们的言论自由而强烈抗议。
4．Why are some people against the bill？ C
A．They think the bill can't get rid of fake news.
B．They belong to different racial and religious groups.
C．They think their freedom of speech may be harmed.
D．They don't want to increase tensions in their country.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“...the government has been given the power to remove content that it considers inaccurate or against the public's interest.”及第六段第一句“Critics fear that the bill threatens their freedom of speech and freedom of expression.”可知，一些人强烈地抗议新法案是因为新法案给政府赋予了删除不准确或不符合公共利益的内容的权力。这些人认为这会影响到他们的言论自由。故C项正确。
5．What does the government have the right to do under the new law？ A
A．Punish publishers of fake news.
B．Monitor telephone conversations.
C．Prohibit certain people from going online.
D．Fine fake-news makers any amount of money.
解析：细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“The government can order for the removal of fake news, and publishers of this information can receive prison time and fines up to one million Singapore dollars！”可知，新法案生效后政府有权惩罚虚假新闻制造者。故A项正确。
6．How will the new law affect social media companies in Singapore？ D
A．Their users' privacy may be disturbed.
B．Their income will increase very slowly.
C．Their illegal activities will come to light.
D．Their social media may become less active.
解析：细节理解题。根据第七段第二句“Social media companies in Singapore could face a decline inactivity, as users may fear posting their opinions and being punished by the government.”可知，社交媒体的使用者因害怕发表言论受到惩罚而降低活跃度。故D项正确。
7．What does the underlined word in paragraph 8 probably mean？ D
A．Prove. B．Accelerate.
C．Promote. D．Decrease.
解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段“the government fears that rumors or fake news can increase tensions within an already small country”可知，新加坡政府通过这个法案的初衷就是为了避免虚假新闻在国内造成局势紧张。画线单词所在句的意思为：如此模糊的概念可能允许政府在这方面滥用权力，尽管政府的意图是为了抑制错误信息和流言蜚语在新加坡境内的传播。故该词义为“减少”，所以D项正确。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
September 23 marks the start of a new season. 1.F In Great Britain, the third season of the year usually has only one name: autumn. But if you travel across the Atlantic, you'll find that people use both fall and autumn interchangeably when referring to this time of year, making it the only season in the English language with two widely accepted names. 2.C
According to Dictionary. com, fall isn't a modern name that followed the more traditional autumn. The two terms are actually first recorded within a few hundred years of each other, with the term fall being used even a bit earlier.
3.G The word is of Germanic origin and meant “picking” or “collecting” , a nod to the act of gathering and preserving crops in the field before winter. In the 1500s, English speakers began referring to the season separating the hot and cold months as either the fall of the leaf or the spring of the leaf, or fall and spring for short. 4.D By the end of the 1600s, autumn, from the French word“automne” and the Latin “autumnus” , had overtaken fall as the standard British term for the third season.
Around the same time England adopted autunm, the first-ever British American colonists (殖民者) were voyaging to North America. 5.B While the former fell out of fashion overseas, it established itself in the local vocabulary by the time America won its independence. Today, using both words to describe the season before winter is still a unique American behavior.
A. The Americans prefer using fall to using autumn.
B．With them they brought the words fall and autumn.
C．So what is it about the season that makes it so special
D．But for some reason, only spring had staying power in Britain.
E．It is time to gather apples, rice and other things for the farmers.
F．However, what exactly you should call that season depends on where you are.
G．Before either word appeared, the season between summer and winter was known as harvest.
文章大意：本文是说明文，主题语境是“人与社会”。文章介绍了秋天在英语中两种不同的叫法及其历史渊源。
1．考查细节支撑句。空前提到了“a new season”，空后讲大不列颠和大西洋彼岸对这一季节叫法的不同，故F项符合语境，选项中的“that season”和“depends on where you are”分别与文中内容对应。
2．考查承上启下句。空前提到秋天有两种叫法，下文是对此的解释，C项“那么是什么让这个季节变得如此特别？”连接上下文，符合题意。
3．考查细节支撑句。上文提到了一个季节的两种叫法，结合下文的“The word”可知，空处所填句中应用一个有关秋季另一种叫法的单词，G项“在两个词出现之前，夏季和冬季之间的季节被称为harvest”。符合题意。
4．考查细节支撑句。上文讲到在16世纪，以英语为母语的人开始用树叶的落下(简称fall)或生长(简称spring)来指代炎热和寒冷的月份之间的那个季节，空后提到了17世纪末，autumn取代fall成为指代第三个季节的标准英国用词，由此推断，空处应说明spring一词的情况，故选D。
5．考查细节支撑句。空前讲大约在英格兰采用autumn来指代秋天的同一时间，第一批去美国的英国殖民者开始漂洋过海到了北美，空后提到前一个词虽然在大洋彼岸不再流行，但却在美国独立后站稳了脚跟。B项中的“them”“they”对应了空前的“the first-ever British American colonists(殖民者)”，B项中的“fall”对应了空后的“the former”。
Ⅲ.语法填空
Undoubtedly, Britain is a nation of hat wearers. From taking off hats 1.to launching mortar boards (学位帽) in the air, hats have long been associated with ceremonies and practices.Even the history of the country can 2.be told (tell) through hats.
3.Dating (date) back to medieval England, the flat cap became a symbol of working class culture in the 19th and 20th centuries.The Edwardian era was 4.a golden age of hats, when the decorations became even more delicate, ranging from flowers, birds to fruits.The pork pie hat, starting in the mid-19th century, was the 5.choice (choose) for many well-dressed Victorian citizens.Decades later it 6.gradually (gradual) became a key feature of London street style.By the 1960s, though, hats faded out of people's sight because of the rise of private cars.It was the Royal Wedding
7.held (hold) in 2011 that contributed to the return of hat wearing.For example, Hat Works Museum—the only museum in Stockport featured in hats and hat making—is 8.more popular (popular) than ever, with a distinct increase among its visitors.
9.What marks Britain out on the world stage is the large number of hats that can be called its own.The variety of hats in Britain 10.reflects (reflect) its multicultural background and rich cultural heritage.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。简要介绍了英国的帽子发展史。
解析：
1．考查介词。根据空前的From及空后的launching可知，此处考查固定用法from...to...“从……到……”。故用介词to。
2．考查动词的语态。分析句子结构可知，tell和句子主语the history of the country构成被动关系，故谓语用被动形式。故用be told。
3．考查非谓语动词。date和句子谓语became之间没有连词，故用其非谓语动词形式，且固定词组date back to意为“追溯到”，和句子主语the flat cap构成逻辑上的主谓关系。故用其现在分词形式。
4．考查冠词。golden age意为“黄金时代”，是可数名词单数形式，其前无限定词修饰，此处在文中第一次提及，且golden的发音以辅音音素开头。故用不定冠词a修饰。
5．考查名词。根据语境，且与定冠词the呼应可知，此处用其名词形式。
6．考查副词。修饰动词应用副词，故用副词gradually修饰动词became。
7．考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，hold和句子主语the Royal Wedding构成逻辑上的动宾关系，故用其过去分词作后置定语。本句是一个强调句，即：It is＋被强调部分＋that＋句子剩余部分，对句子主语the Royal Wedding进行强调。
8．考查形容词的比较级。与语境中的than呼应可知，此处用形容词比较级，作is的表语。
9．考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导主语从句，且在从句中作主语，表示“……的事物”。故用连接代词What。
10．考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据语境可知，此处为一般性描述，应用一般现在时，且主语为The variety，故此处谓语用第三人称单数形式reflects。
Ⅳ.短文改错

解析：
1．考查非谓语动词。根据该句中的介词after可知，该处作介词after的宾语。故用动名词形式。
2．考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，该句为包含非限制性定语从句的复合句，句中the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution为先行词，关系词指代先行词且在从句中作主语。故用which引导该定语从句。
3．考查冠词。area是发音以元音音素开头的单词。故用不定冠词an。
4．考查介词。be made up of为固定搭配，意为“由……组成；由……构成”。此处表示：这个博物馆面积达18 000平方米，由24个展厅构成。
5．考查名词的数。spaceship为可数名词，根据该句中的All kinds of可知，该处应用其复数形式。
6．考查形容词。该词修饰名词instruments，表示“各种各样的老式仪器”。故用形容词形式。
7．考查动词的时态。根据本文首句中的Last weekend可知，本文叙述的是过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。故将see改为saw。
8．考查介词。operate为及物动词，在该处意为“操作”，后面直接跟宾语，故删除介词on。此处表示：更有趣的是，我亲自尝试操作了一些飞行器。
9．考查代词。此处表示：此次短暂的参观帮助我了解了很多人类太空探索的历史。此处作help的宾语，故用me。
10．考查形容词。此处表示：这让我对科学技术更感兴趣。由该句中的me可知，该处修饰人，表示“感兴趣的”。故用形容词interested。Unit 4 History and Traditions

（2021·安徽·亳州二中高一期末） The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
34．What does the author say about silence in conversations
A．It implies anger.
B．It promotes friendship.
C．It is culture-specific.
D．It is content-based.
35．Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought
A．The Chinese.
B．The French.
C．The Mexicans.
D．The Russians.
36．What does the author advise nurses to do about silence
A．Let it continue as the patient pleases.
B．Break it while treating patients.
C．Evaluate its harm to patients.
D．Make use of its healing effects.
37．What may be the best title for the text
A．Sound and Silence
B．What It Means to Be Silent
C．Silence to Native Americans
D．Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold

（2019·全国全国·高一专题练习） Located in Pisa, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy has become the sign of Italy. It is the third oldest structure in Pisa’s Cathedral Square. There eight floors in the Leaning Tower of Pisa including observation deck at the top. The weight of the tower is about 14,500 metric tons. There are amazing facts of the Leaning Tower of Pisa that we will mention here.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa was not originally intended to lean, but because it was built on soft soils the tower gradually leaned to one side. Prior to its restoration (修复) from 1990 to 2001, the tower had a tilt (倾斜) of 5.5 degrees. Many people think that it will fall one day. Millions of tourists come to the lawns around the tower to take the classic photo pretending to hold up or knock down the tower.
It is said that you must visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa during the day. At night the shops are closed and it appears unimpressive. But, if you plan to visit on a full moon night, the tower will look charming. Mornings are the best time to beat the crowds. Summer in Pisa is very hot and wet, but you can expect rain in fall and winter.
Even though some people regard the tower to be an engineering failure owing to the tilt, the tower has acquired a special place in history. The tower has also been used for experiments by the famous Italian scientist named Galileo Galilei. He is believed to have thrown two balls of different mass from the tower to prove that their falling time is not related to their mass.

（2021·云南·昆明八中高一阶段练习）The name England comes from the words “Angle land”. The Angles were people who came from northern Germany in the 5th and 6th centuries, after the Romans had left. The French name for England is Angleterre, which also means “Angle land”. There were also invasions (侵略) of southern England by Saxons and Jutes (people from another part of northern Germany). English people are sometimes called Anglo－Saxons. The Celts who used to live in this area were forced to move back into Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall and into Western France (the area known as Brittany).
England at first became a series of kingdoms, the strongest of which was Wessex (the name comes from West－Saxon). The names of many of the areas in England come from this period—for example, the name Sussex comes from South－Saxon, Essex from East－Saxon, and East Anglia from East－Angle. The Vikings then came from Denmark, and later the Normans invaded from France. Eventually England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland were united, forming the United Kingdom.
The English language is the main language spoken throughout England, although there are many different accents. It can be difficult to know how to spell or to pronounce some English words, because the language has been influenced by Latin and Greek (languages used at the time of the Romans, and used in religion and education until recent times), German (the language of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes), French(the language of the Normans), Gaelic/Scots (Celtic languages) and Danish (the language of the Vikings).
There are now many people throughout the United Kingdom who speak a foreign language either as their first or second language, mainly due to immigration (移民) from Europe or the Commonwealth (countries which used to be part of the British Empire).
42．What's the first paragraph mainly about
A．The origin of the name England.
B．The Celts used to live in England but left for some reason.
C．Southern England once was attacked by Saxons and Jutes.
D．Angles and Saxons came from different parts of northern Germany.
43．In the history of England, ________ once was the strongest kingdom.
A．Sussex B．Wessex
C．Essex D．East Anglia
44．What can we learn from the third paragraph
A．English words are hard to spell and to pronounce.
B．England had been invaded by most of the countries of Europe.
C．The English language was influenced by several foreign languages.
D．It's hard for people who have different English accents to communicate.
45．Why do many people in the UK speak a foreign language nowadays
A．Because they are required to learn a foreign language at school.
B．Because they plan to live outside the UK in the future.
C．Because they have moved from other countries.
D．Because they have worked in other countries.

11．am surrounded
【详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：每年，我一上火车，就被山西口音包围着——我知道我要回家了。根据句意，空格处缺谓语，由时间状语every year可知，应该选用一般现在时。谓语动词surround与逻辑主语I之间为被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态。故填am surrounded。
12．has been announced

本文是一篇广告应用文。文章介绍了在Washington, D.C. 骑自行车旅行的四条路线的相关行程及注意事项。
31．细节理解题。根据文章Cherry Blossom Bike Tour in Washington, D.C.中的Reserve your spot before availability可知，这个骑行项目需要提前预约。故选A。
32．细节理解题。根据文章Capital City Bike Tour in Washington, D.C.中的Knowledgeable guides will entertain you with the most interesting stories about Presidents, Congress, memorials, and parks.可知，在这个活动中，你可以享受有趣的故事。故选D。

【点睛】

本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了沉默在不同文化背景下的不同内涵。
34．细节理解题。根据第一段The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. 可知，沉默的含义因文化群体而异，交谈中的沉默也可能表示固执、不安或担忧。所以作者认为谈话中的沉默是有文化特性的。故选C项。
35．细节理解题。根据第二段中Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing可知，许多印第安人珍视沉默，认为这是人与人之间交流的基本组成部分，就像一些传统的中国人和泰国人一样。因此，当一个来自其中一种文化的人说话时突然停下来，暗示说话者想要倾听者在继续之前思考一下所说过的话。所以中国人认为谈话时人们沉默是为了让别人思考。故选A项。
36．细节理解题。根据末段末句A nurse who understands the healing value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients 可知，了解沉默的治疗价值的护士可以利用这种了解来帮助护理病人。所以作者建议护士要用沉默来治疗病人。故选D 。
37．主旨大意题。根据第一段“The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups”可知， 沉默的含义因文化群体而异。以及先问介绍了在不同文化背景下谈话期间的沉默的不同含义。所以短文的最佳标题是“沉默意味着什么”。故选B 。

这是一篇说明文。描述了比萨斜塔作为意大利的标志性建筑，每年吸引了众多游客。
38．细节理解题。依据第一段中的“It is the third oldest structure in Pisa’s Cathedral Square”可知，在比萨大教堂广场上不仅仅有一座古建筑，因此选项B正确。
39．细节理解题。依据第二段中的“because it was built on soft soils”可知，该塔倾斜的原因是它建在松软的土地上，并不是建筑使用了松软的土，故排除D项，B项正确。
40．细节理解题。依据第三段中的“Mornings are the best time to beat the crowds”可知，上午是参观斜塔的最佳时间，那个时候可以避开人群，故选C项。
41．推理判断题。依据倒数第二段倒数一、二句“The tower has also been used for experiments by the famous Italian scientist named Galileo Galilei. He is believed to have thrown two balls of different mass from the tower to prove that their falling time is not related to their mass.”可知,科学家伽利略曾经在斜塔上做过抛下两个不同质量的球体的实验，这使斜塔变得更加有名，由此可知C项正确。

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英格兰的历史，包括英格兰名字的由来以及外来人口对英语语言的影响。
42．
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The name England comes from the words “Angle land”. The Angles were people who came from northern Germany in the 5th and 6th centuries, after the Romans had left. The French name for England is Angleterre, which also means “Angle land”. (英格兰这个名字来源于“天使之地”这个词。盎格鲁人是5世纪和6世纪时罗马人离开后从德国北部来到这里的。英格兰的法语名字是Angleterre，意思是“天使之地”。)”可知第一段内容主要是介绍英国这个名字的由来。故选A项。
43．
细节理解题。根据第二段“England at first became a series of kingdoms, the strongest of which was Wessex (the name comes from West－Saxon). (英格兰最初成为一系列王国，其中最强大的是威塞克斯(这个名字来自于西撒克逊)。)”可知威塞克斯曾是英格兰诸多王国中最强大的王国，故选B项。
44．
推理判断题。根据第三段内容“The English language is the main language spoken throughout England, although there are many different accents. It can be difficult to know how to spell or to pronounce some English words, because the language has been influenced by Latin and Greek (languages used at the time of the Romans, and used in religion and education until recent times), German (the language of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes), French(the language of the Normans), Gaelic/Scots (Celtic languages) and Danish (the language of the Vikings).(英语是整个英格兰的主要语言，尽管有许多不同的口音。有些英语单词很难拼写或发音，因为这种语言一直受到拉丁语和希腊语（罗马人时代使用的语言，直到最近也还一直用于宗教和教育）、德语（盎格鲁人、撒克逊人和朱特人的语言）、法语（诺曼人的语言）、盖尔语/苏格兰语（凯尔特语）的影响语言）和丹麦语（维京人的语言）的影响。”可知第三段主要介绍了英语受到了Latin,Greek,German, Gaelic, Scots, Danish等几种外国语言的影响，故选C项。
45．
细节理解题。根据最后一段“There are now many people throughout the United Kingdom who speak a foreign language either as their first or second language, mainly due to immigration (移民) from Europe or the Commonwealth (countries which used to be part of the British Empire).(现在有很多人在英国讲一门外语作为第一或第二语言,主要是由于移民来自欧洲或英联邦(国家曾经是大英帝国的一部分)。)”可知，现在很多英国人都说外语是因为他们是从其他国家移民过来的。故选C项。

【分析】
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国古代水利工程都江堰的历史、作用等。
61．考查非谓语动词。本句中已经存在谓语动词is used，且句中没有连词，故空处应用非谓语形式，因build与句子的主语是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此用动词-ed形式作状语。故填Built。
62．考查名词。该空在句中作主语，故需要其名词形式，且根据空后的is可知，应用单数形式。故填Achievement。
63．考查时态。句意：在古代，都江堰现在所在的地区经常遭受岷江发洪水。根据In ancient times可知，此处用一般过去时，主语为the region 。故填suffered。
64．考查非谓语动词。本句中已经存在谓语动词decided且句中没有连词，故本空只能做非谓语，且由语境可知，李冰父子决定找出解决问题的方法，其目的是帮助水灾的受害者，因此用不定式作目的状语。故填To help。
65．考查冠词。此处指上文中的李冰，表特指，因此用定冠词the。故填the。
66．考查形容词的比较级。上文谈到李冰设计的不同层次的导流渠可以使洪水流走，下文又提到多余的水又能引入干旱的成都平原，故二者之间是递进关系，故用比较级，better still表示“更好的是”。故填Better。
67．考查代词。此处指上文中的the dry Chengdu Plan，所以用it指代同时作make的宾语。故 填it。
68．考查时态和语态。根据空前的Once和空后的happened和were可知，此处用一般过去时，且finish与从句主语the system是被动关系，故填was finished。
69．考查副词。句意：洪水不再发生，人们得以平静地生活。分析句子结构可知，本空修饰动词live，因此用其副词形式peacefully。故填peacefully。
70．考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词modern dams，从句中缺少地点状语，因此用where引导。故填where。
