It was a long week for Amanda at school. She stayed after school to work on a special project (课题) three days in a row. When she got home on Friday, she dropped into the chair with a sigh (叹气)．
“What's going on, Amanda？” her dad asked as he was reading the newspaper.
“I have to create a webpage for my technology class, and it is taking a lot more time than I thought it would，” Amanda answered.
Her dad looked over his newspaper and asked Amanda what the webpage was about.
“It's about the difference between newspaper news and Internet news，” Amanda said and added, “I have to provide information, examples and illustrations (插图)．”
“Sounds tough;_do you have someone to help you？” her dad asked.
“I have a partner named Zach，” Amanda replied. “We did research on the Internet today and found some pictures to use.”
Then Amanda explained to her father the main differences: newspaper news is printed on paper, and Internet news is published (发表) online; newspaper news is only available once a day, and Internet news is published almost as soon as the news happens; many newspapers don't even print a daily paper, and Internet news is published around the clock.
Amanda's dad asked, “Which type of news do you like better？”
“I like Internet news better because I like to learn about the news when it happens，” she answered.
Her dad said, “I still like newspaper news better because I like to hold the paper in my hands and turn the pages.”
Amanda dropped into her chair again and said, “You are so old school, Dad.”

The English are famous for their manners (举止). The phrase, “Manners maketh man” was first used by Englishman William of Wykeham back in 1324. But it's just as important today. Books are written on the subject, and “finishing schools” still exist (存在) to make sure that young girls become young “ladies”．
There is a popular joke in England that says, “If only queuing was an Olympic sport, we'd win hands down.” No one knows exactly how and when it started, but queuing plays an important role in the English social make up. Of course, they aren't the only people who queue, but the English seem to do it better than anyone else. As one visitor said, “I have traveled across Europe, the Middle and Far East and nowhere have I seen the queues which are formed in England.”
When it comes to language, many other nations are more direct in their conversations. The English, however, communicate in a different way. For example, an American who wants to talk to a workmate might say, “Got a minute？” while an English person will often say, “Sorry to bother (打扰) you, but could you possibly spare a minute or so for a quick chat (聊天) if you don't mind, please？”
The English also love to apologize (道歉) for things. When pushing past someone, people say “sorry”. And they'll apologize if you walk into them, “Whoops! Sorry！” In fact, no one seems to say “sorry” as much as the English: “Sorry, I'm late. /Sorry about the mess. /Sorry, I forgot to call you last night. /I'm sorry you didn't get the email.” And so on.
Anyway, thanks for reading, and sorry if I've taken up too much of your time!

How do clouds form
The sky can be full of water. But most of the time you can't see the water. __16__ They have turned into a gas called water vapor. As the water vapor goes higher in the sky, the air gets cooler. The cooler air causes the water droplets to start to stick to things like bits of ice.

__17__ One way is by where they are found in the sky. Some clouds are high up in the sky. Low clouds form closer to Earth's surface. Middle clouds are found between low and high clouds.

Why do scientists study clouds
Clouds are important for many reasons. Rain and snow are two of those reasons. At night, clouds reflect (反射) heat and keep the ground warmer. During the day, clouds make shade (阴凉处) that can keep us cooler. __20__

16．选E 由该空前后的“most of the time you can't see the water”和“They have turned into a gas called water vapor.”可知，天空中的这些水滴十分微小，它们已经转化成了水蒸气，所以很难被看见，故选E项。
17．选D 由该段中的“One way is by where they are found in the sky.”和“Another way clouds are named is by their shape.”可知，这里是说给云命名的两种方式，故选D项。
18．选C 由该空前后的“Cirrus (卷云) clouds are high clouds.”和“Stratus (层云) clouds are low clouds.”可知，位于高低云层之间的云还没有介绍，故选C项。
19．选A 本段主要介绍了雨的形成过程，故用A项作为小标题最恰当。
20．选G 由本段标题“Why do scientists study clouds？”可知，G项内容符合此处语境。

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。青岛出现了一种“善意之墙”，向有需要的人伸出援助之手，这种墙拉近了人与人之间的距离，它们对社会的发展起着重要的作用。
41．closer 根据语境可知，此处将这种新型的墙与过去的长城相比较，表明它使人们之间的距离更近了，应用close的比较级形式。故填closer。
42．kindness 此处为of所有格，应用名词，意为“善意之墙”。故填kindness。
43．invites 根据本句中的“and encourages”可知，此处与之时态一致，应用一般现在时；主语“This ‘wall of ________ (kind)’”是单数，所以此处应用invite的第三人称单数形式。故填invites。
44．who 分析句子结构可知，空格处引导定语从句，先行词是“those”，指人，关系词在从句中作主语，所以此处应用who引导。故填who。
45．and 根据语境可知，你要出去的时候，就把挂在那里的衣服取下来，然后穿上。此处表示顺承关系。故填and。
46．Inspired 句子的主语“she”和inspire之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系，所以此处应用inspire的过去分词形式作状语。故填Inspired。注意首字母大写。
47．its 此处应用it的形容词性物主代词作后面的名词“winter”的定语。故填its。
48．is touched 根据上下文语境可判断出，此处应用一般现在时；主语“She”和touch之间是动宾关系，所以此处应用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is touched。
49．after 根据语境可知，Wang Lei说有些衣服很新，在她将它们分类以后甚至都不用洗手；由此可知，此处应用介词after，意为“在……以后”。故填after。
50．cities 根据句中的“several other”可判断出，此处应用city的复数形式。故填cities。

Dear boys and girls，
I'd like to share my experience in learning English with you.

参考范文：
Dear boys and girls，
I'd like to share my experience in learning English with you.
I make it a rule to listen to VOA or the BBC in my spare time to improve my listening. At the same time, I repeat what the speaker says while listening to improve my pronunciation. Besides, watching English movies can combine English learning with relaxation. I always take every chance to speak in class and I am proud of making myself understood in English. Sometimes I practise speaking with my classmates after class. To increase my vocabulary, I have formed the habit of reading English magazines and novels at weekends. I have learned to guess the meaning of new words. In addition, I find keeping a diary in English is helpful.
All in all, I hope all of you have fun learning English.
