Ⅲ. 阅读理解
In George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, the storyline centers around three main characters: Eliza Doolittle, Professor Henry Higgins, and Colonel Pickering. Eliza Doolittle is a flower girl who is under the instruction of Professor Higgins and Colonel Pickering to learn proper grammar and phonetics. Eliza can be characterized as a very sensitive and emotional person. She seeks to be treated like a duchess by men. Her personality clashes (冲突) with the personality of Professor Higgins in an extreme way. Professor Higgins is an arrogant (傲慢的), work-obsessed expert in phonetics who views Eliza simply as an experiment. He is a bachelor who has never found a place for women in his life due to his obsession (痴迷) with language. Colonel Pickering is a gentleman from India who is also an expert in language. He is gentler than Higgins and treats Eliza with respect while maintaining a professional interest in her. These three characters make up the main action of the play as Eliza learns speech of the upper class from them. She manages to pass herself off as a Hungarian princess at a formal party. This achievement makes Eliza give credence to the efforts of Higgins and Pickering. After experiencing life in the upper class, Eliza settles for a lower-class life with a man who loves her for who she is and wants to marry her. After some small and unimportant disputes，Eliza and Higgins remain friends later. Other memorable characters include Mrs. Higgins who maintains an authoritative (权威的) figure over her grown son and Mr. Doolittle who rises from a dustman to a respected speaker in the community.
I think that this is a good book because it shows that happiness can be achieved without wealth and fame. I highly recommend it due to its emphasis on grammatical and phonetic correctness.

4．The passage is probably ________.

God's Hotel
Victoria Sweet
When Sweet applied for a job at one of the country's last almshouses (救济院), she had no idea she would stay there for 20 years, taking care of patients no other organization wanted while defending the hospital from those who consider it unnecessary.

The Newlyweds
Nell Freudenberger
It's hard to imagine two worlds more different than Rochester, N．Y. and Bangladesh, a country in South Asia. So we know there's culture shock coming when, after a sweet online courtship (恋爱期), George Stillman travels to Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, to bring Amina Mazid back to his hometown. This novel examines love and family—and the enormous different meanings two people can attach to those seemingly simple words.

B
Boy In The Tower by Polly Ho-Yen is a story of fear and hope, loneliness and friendship. Ade and his mother live right at the top of a tower block. It can get a bit lonely up there, but Ade loves to spend hours sitting at the window watching the whole city unfold down below.
Things are pretty quiet in the flat since his mother fell ill. She has stopped cooking meals and doing the housework and singing the songs she always used to sing. In fact, these days she hardly gets out of bed. Ade doesn't know what to do, so he watches the world outside. But suddenly that starts to change.
One day, one of the other tower blocks crashes to the ground and Ade watches the disorder with disbelief. Have some of his school friends died in the disaster? Is his best friend Gaia still alive？Then another building falls down and then another. The world around Ade's tower block is disintegrating under his very eyes.
And then huge plants start to spring up and grow at an alarming rate. Where have they come from? It looks like the plants are pulling the buildings down and they are preventing the emergency services from helping people.
Is this only happening in the area where Ade lives? The residents (居民) are deserting the tower blocks, and soon Ade is stuck in his flat because he can't leave his mother. Who or what can rescue him?
Ho-Yen has written a thrilling story with Boy In The Tower, but the most successful part is the narrative (叙述的) voice of the boy at the centre of the story. He doesn't understand what is going on around him and this adds a fascinating dimension to the plot that moves the novel along.
Taking place in an urban environment that many of the novel's readers will immediately identify with, Ho-Yen's first novel is an interesting read about an ordinary boy facing a tough struggle to survive.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章针对小说Boy In The Tower作了相关的内容概述和评论。
4．What do we know about Ade?
A．He lives in a noisy tower block.
B．He tries to help his mother recover.
C．He often helps his mother with housework.
D．He likes seeing the world outside through the window.

5．What does the underlined word “disintegrating” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Showing up. B．Breaking up.
C．Moving away. D．Coming back.
解析：选B 词义猜测题。由第三段中的“crashes to the ground”和“falls down”可知，此处指Ade周围的高楼一栋接着一栋坍塌，他周围的世界破碎了。
6．The plants mentioned in the book are ________.
A．poisonous B．delicate
C．violent D．beautiful
解析：选C 推理判断题。由第四段中的“huge plants start to spring up and grow at an alarming rate”和“the plants are pulling the buildings down and they are preventing the emergency services from helping people”可知，这些巨大的植物摧毁了高楼，并阻止救援队救助人们，由此可推断，这些植物非常凶猛。
7．It can be inferred that Boy In The Tower is ________.
A．a personal diary
B．a detective story
C．a science textbook
D．a science-fiction novel
解析：选D 推理判断题。由文中提到奇怪的植物在楼宇坍塌的瞬间突然出现并摧毁楼宇以及倒数第二段中的novel一词可知，该书是一部科幻小说。

A
Have you ever heard of an old saying? Intelligence is a born ability while goodness is a choice. Gifts are easy—they're given after all. Choices can be hard.
I got the idea to start Amazon many years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I'd been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most start-ups don't and I wasn't sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I'd been a garage inventor. I'd always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me for a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job. ” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing.And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision not to try at all.
After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I'm proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choice.
【解题导语】 本文通过作者讲述自己创办亚马逊网上书店的过程，告诉读者坚持自己的选择，虽然困难却是值得的。
1．What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?
A．His dream of being an inventor.
B．The support of his wife.
C．The greatly increasing usage of the Internet.
D．Millions of exciting titles.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I got the idea...the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast”可知，因特网使用率的迅速增长激发了作者创建网上书店的想法。故选C。
2．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?
A．The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him.
B．He would be very excited if he tried it out.
C．He would be always having a doubt if he didn't try.
D．The decision not to try the online bookstore would terrify him.
解析：选A 句意猜测题。根据第三段的倒数第二句“I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. ”可知，作者不会后悔去尝试或者失败，但是有了想法却从未尝试过会让他不能释怀。haunt意为“萦绕于脑际，长期不断地缠扰(某人)”。故选A。
3．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Cleverness and Kindness
B．The Starting of Amazon
C．Following My Passion
D．We Are What We Choose
解析：选D 标题归纳题。根据第一段的最后一句“Choices can be hard. ”以及最后一段的末句“For all of us, in the end, we are our choice. ”可知，作者以自己的亲身经历强调了坚持自己的选择对人生的意义。
4．We can know from the passage that________.
A．the boss thought the idea was suitable for the author
B．the author wanted someone else to try the idea
C．the author might not regret if he failed the idea
D．the author might go back to his boss if he failed
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. ”并结合文章主旨可知，作者即使失败也不后悔自己的选择。

(2019·全国卷Ⅲ)
Before the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.
The trend, then, was toward the “penny paper”—a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.
This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible (but not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer's office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny—usually two or three cents was charged—and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase “penny paper” caught the public's fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.
This new trend of newspapers for “the man on the street” did not begin well. Some of the early ventures (企业) were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.

5．Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s?
A．Academic. B．Unattractive.
C．Inexpensive. D．Confidential.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的第四句和第五句“In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. ”可知，当时的报纸并不吸引人。unattractive与文中的“dull and visually forbidding”意义相近。
6．What did street sales mean to newspapers?
A．They would be priced higher.
B．They would disappear from cities.
C．They could have more readers.
D．They could regain public trust.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段和第三段可知，“便士报”的出现，使得普通大众也可以买得起报纸，更重要的是可以在街上买到一份报纸。因为在1830年以前，买到一份报纸虽然是可能的，但要专门跑到印刷厂，可见很不方便。而从“within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities”进一步印证了street sales(街头销售)的出现使得报纸有了更多的读者。
7．Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?
A．Local politicians. B．Common people.
C．Young publishers. D．Rich businessmen.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“...at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. ”和第三段中的“street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities”以及“But the phrase ‘penny paper’ caught the public's fancy”可知，新趋势下，报纸的目标读者是普通大众。
8．What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?
A．It was a difficult process.
B．It was a temporary success.
C．It was a robbery of the poor.
D．It was a disaster for printers.
解析：选A 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是通过第三段的第二句以及第四段可知，“便士报”的诞生并不容易。

Pride and Prejudice for the Modern Woman
Let us imagine how Pride and Prejudice，Jane Austen's most famous work, might be updated, 200 years on.
Austen's popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Here's my own suggestion...
It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.
“My dear husband，”said his hopeful wife one day，“have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long，is taken over by a bright young businesswoman？”
Her dull and indifferent(漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not.
“But it is, it is，” she replied excitedly.
Mr. Dull-Husband made no reply.
“Don't you want to know her plans？” she cried with some impatience.
“Well，clearly you think it matters to your silly little head...so I'd better listen. ”
“Well, my dear, the rumour(传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me. She will move in herself next month. ”
“What is her name？”
“Bingley. ”
“Is she married or single？”
“What a question! And none of your business. But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys. ”
“How so? How can it possibly affect them？”
“My dear love: those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are bound to be jobs going. ”
“Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place. ”
“Nonsense, my love, how little you've noticed the world has changed. She's got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification, I'm told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call. ”
“Me? No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job. ”
“Oh, that's not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think I'll go along all the same. ”
And Mrs. Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company.
...It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs. Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more “female” dimension and her lifespan (年限)among the city's business leaders shorter than theirs. Still, she'd no doubt have enjoyed Davos—and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures.
【解题导语】 本文为一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过《傲慢与偏见》这部著作，引出性别歧视依然存在这一社会话题。
21．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Austen was born 200 years ago.
B．Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice.
C．Austen's success lies in her wisdom.
D．Austen's updated work gains popularity.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，《傲慢与偏见》的作者简·奥斯汀的成功源于她的智慧，故答案选C。
22．The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs. Bennet ________.
A．had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about Bingley
B．felt kind of worried and doubtful about Bingley
C．was extremely anxious to meet Bingley
D．had a great curiosity about Bingley
解析：选A 推理判断题。该句字面意思为“一个女人怎么能知道关于生意的事，这超出了我的理解。”由此推断，她对Bingley(当地一家商店的年轻女老板)的成就感到既羡慕又惊讶。
23．In the eyes of Mrs. Bennet，Bingley surely needed one of their boys to ________.
A．get married to B．work for her
C．help her move in D．take over her store
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据倒数第五段中的“She surely needs one of our boys！”可知，在Bennet夫人的眼中，她认为Bingley肯定需要雇用他们家的一个男孩子来为其工作。
24．What does the writer intend to tell us?
A．Women with brains can also be as successful as men.
B．Women have to pay a high price for success.
C．A judgment must be made free from prejudice.
D．Sex discrimination still exists nowadays.
解析：选D 观点态度题。根据文章最后一段可知，当然，这种事依然存在，Bennet夫人是公司领导层中屈指可数的女性之一，她的薪水和奖金比男性同事少，作为城市商业领袖的年限也会比男同事短。可推断出，作者打算告诉读者，性别歧视在今天依然存在。
B
Scientists in London are working to develop a wheelchair that can be moved simply by looking in the direction in which the user wishes to travel.
Most paralyzed (瘫痪的) people can still move their eyes because they are directly connected to the brain. Some existing technologies already allow severely disabled people to stare at arrows (箭头) on a computer and direct the movement of a wheelchair. But there are problems with that system, including a delay between the movement of the eyes and the wheelchair.
“Current tracking software often uses a screen-based system where you have a screen open and you look at locations on the screen. The problem with that is that it diverts (转移) the user's attention from the outside world and therefore there's more risk of not noticing other things like stones in the way，”said Kirubin Pillay, a PhD student at Imperial College London.
A team led by Aldo Faisal at Imperial College London has developed a software that allows users to move the chair just by looking in the direction they want to take.
“Our eyes are not only a window into our soul. They're also a window to our intentions. So if we want to go somewhere, we will look there in a specific manner. We can build a computer system that can decode (解码) our eye movements，and so we observe eye movements with an eye tracker, and the computer interprets these commands and drives the wheelchair accordingly，”said Fasial.
Two cameras trained on the eyes observe their movements and can determine whether a patient is merely looking around or wants to move in a certain direction.
Visual information detected by cameras is analyzed by algorithms(计算程序)and then translated into instructions for movement that's almost instantaneous(瞬间的)．
The camera-based system costs only about $85 because most of the work is done by the algorithms. No expensive hardware is needed. The London team hopes to make the system commercially available within three years.
【解题导语】 伦敦的科学家们正在研发一种轮椅，通过安装的镜头来观察眼睛的运动，使用者只需要用眼睛看向想要去的方向，轮椅便会自动前进。
25．One of the current tracking software's problems is________.
A．there is a mistake in it
B．there is a delay between the movement of the eyes and the wheelchair
C．it costs much and few people can afford it
D．it can't follow the user's wish exactly
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“But there are problems with that system, including a delay between the movement of the eyes and the wheelchair. ”可知B项正确。
26．The new wheelchair being developed will ________.
A．use a screen-based system to let the user move
B．avoid the risks of being blocked in the way
C．move directly in the direction the user wants to go
D．determine the user's moving direction
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“...move the chair just by looking in the direction they want to take. ”可知C项正确。
27．What can we infer from the text?
A．The price of the new wheelchair will not be very high.
B．The new wheelchair can move very fast.
C．People can buy the new wheelchair in the market now.
D．The new wheelchair is mostly conducted by hardware.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知A项正确。
28．The author of the text aims to ________.
A．stress the importance of a new wheelchair
B．make the new wheelchair widely used
C．explain the process of developing a wheelchair
D．introduce a system developed by scientists
解析：选D 写作意图题。由文章内容可知，作者是在讲述科学家们发明的一种新系统，故D项正确。
C
The voice in your head is a lie. What you hear when you open your mouth is distinctly less beautiful than what everyone around you hears.
Your voice emanates from the lower portion of your throat, as expelled air from the lungs passes across your vocal chords (声韧带)，which vibrate (振动) to produce sound. This sound is then made louder by your voice box, changed into words by your tongue and lips, and spread through the surrounding atmosphere until it enters your listener's ear canal to stimulate their eardrums (鼓膜) and structures within the inner ear—which then convert the analog waveform (模拟波形) to electrical impulses that the brain can understand.
However，the inner ear doesn't just pick up sound from external sources. Vibrations coming from within your body can activate these auditory (听觉的) structures as well. And when you speak，the rapid fluttering of your vocal chords actually causes your entire braincase to vibrate. “When you speak，the vocal folds in your throat vibrate, which causes your skin, skull and oral cavities to also vibrate, and we perceive this as sound，” Ben Hornsby, a professor of audiology at Vanderbilt University, said.
But sound doesn't travel through bone nearly as easily as it does through air. This effect is heightened by the fact that you really can't hear your own voice directly, because your ears are positioned behind your mouth, and the sounds coming out of your mouth must first bounce off objects and back into your ears. This, too, causes the waveform to lose energy as well as frequency and pitch, resulting in you hearing a distorted, lower tone than what people hear directly from out of your mouth.
“You hear your voice in stereo，” Michael Kelly said，“while other people just hear it in mono (单声道)．” That's why you may think you sound like James Earl Jones in your head, but end up sounding like Steve Urkel on tape.
【解题导语】 本文主要说明了为什么你的声音和你听到的不一样。
29．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Why your voice sounds different inside your head.
B．The difference between the sound you hear and others hear.
C．How people produce a voice before they can hear it.
D．How your voice spreads in the air and in your head.
解析：选A 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲的是人们的声音和他们自己听到的不一样，所以选A。
30．What is the meaning of the phrase “emanates from” in the second paragraph?
A．Comes from. B．Benefits from.
C．Differs from. D．Suffers from.
解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段内容可知，声音是从喉咙下部发出的，所以选A。
31．According to Ben Hornsby, how is sound formed?
A．It is formed by the sound produced only by the throat.
B．It is the result of the whole braincase vibrating.
C．It is from the quick movement of your vocal chords.
D．It is received by the inner ear from the outside world.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“And when you speak, the rapid fluttering of your vocal...entire braincase to vibrate. ”可知，Ben Hornsby所说的话是对这句话的进一步解释说明，所以选B。
32．Why cannot you hear your voice right away?
A．The waveform has lost energy, frequency and pitch.
B．The sound travels through bone less easily than it does through air.
C．The sound bounces off before entering your ears.
D．Your eardrum is affected by the feedback of the waveform.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“This effect is heightened...can't hear your own voice directly，because your ears are...”可知，你自己发出的声音经过传导物体的传播之后能量减弱，频率和音高都发生了变化，所以选C。
D
I found the imagination of becoming a grandmother somewhat discouraging. I was younger than I thought a grandmother should be when I got the news that I was going to become one myself. I admitted，it was not a role that I was emotionally ready to accept. I had been a young mother, and had certainly hoped my daughter would not face that same challenge. I remarried when she was a teenager, and then had two more children. On getting the news that she was expecting, I remembered thinking “What do I know about being a grandmother? —I haven't even finished raising my own kids yet！” I didn't like to be unprepared，so I read a few books about grand-parenting. That gave me a little help, but I was still uncertain. I thought about other grandmothers I knew, and got a few ideas I liked and a few more that I didn't. But I couldn't quite figure out what kind of grandmother I wanted to be. Then I thought about my own grandmother, Granny, as she's known by most people, and I knew I had the answer.
I didn't realize it until that moment, but my own grandmother was the example for the kind of grandmother I wanted to be. I am fortunate that I got to spend a lot of time with my grandparents when I was a little kid. Here's what I learned from my Granny.
Grandmothers always have a cookie jar. For my entire life, Granny always had a cookie jar full of cookies. When I was a little tiny girl, just at eye level with the counter, Granny would get the cookie jar down for me. When I was a little older I learned how to pull the chair over so I could reach. As I got taller, if I really stretched, I could reach the cookie jar with my finger tips and move it close enough to get it down off the counter to find out what kind of treat was inside. Always the first thing I did when I went to Granny's house was to check the cookie jar, and there were always cookies in it. Many years later, I'll drive my own children to Granny's house and the first thing is to get us all a cookie.
So grandmothers must have a cookie jar，and on my granddaughter's first Christmas，my daughter bought me my own cookie jar. She said when they came to see me, her daughter would find the treat the way she did and I did.

How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
36 Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest，you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 37
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 38 Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 39 Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
40 Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle，thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A．To fight family laziness, set an example.
B．Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C．One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
D．Finally，taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
E．With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.
F．Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
G．Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.

【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一架飞机的驾驶员昏迷后飞机处于无人驾驶的危险中，一位乘客勇敢地站了出来，在地面塔台的指挥下，安全迫降了飞机的故事。
61．解析：考查词性转换。根据前句“everyone sensed that something was wrong”可知，每个人都感觉到出事了，所以飞机在空中不能稳定地飞行，故使用否定意义的副词unsteadily“不稳定地”。
答案：unsteadily
62．解析：考查动词的时态。句意：飞机在空中不能稳定地飞行，尽管乘客们先前已经系好了安全带，但是他们还是被突然向前抛去。可知乘客们系好安全带是在他们被向前抛之前，所以使用过去完成时。
答案：had fastened
63．解析：考查连词。句意：就在那时，空姐出现了。她看上去脸色苍白，但是很镇定。根据句意可知上下文之间是转折关系，所以使用连词but表示转折。
答案：but
64．解析：考查冠词。句意：她告诉每位乘客，飞行员已经不省人世，询问乘客中是否有人了解机械方面的知识。此处特指这架飞机上的“飞行员”，故答案为the。
答案：the
65．解析：考查词性转换。句意：犹豫片刻之后……根据句意可知此处用名词形式，故答案为hesitation。
答案：hesitation
66．解析：考查动词的时态和语态。本题定语从句的先行词是the urgent instructions，关系代词that指代先行词在句中作主语，与动词send构成被动关系，所以使用过去进行时的被动语态，指地面塔台发送的紧急指示命令。故答案为were being sent。
答案：were being sent
67．解析：考查定语从句。句意：让大家欣慰的是，那时非常危险地靠近地面的飞机不久就开始爬升。空处指代先行词the plane，在句中作主语，引导非限制性定语从句，故答案为which。
答案：which
68．解析：考查固定短语。be familiar with“对……熟悉”。句意：为了熟悉对飞机的控制，那个男士不得不让飞机在空中盘旋了几次。故答案为with。
答案：with
69．解析：考查非谓语动词。本句中动词follow与句子主语the man(也是follow的逻辑主语)之间构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词短语在句中作伴随状语。句意：那个男士按照地面塔台发送的指令引导飞机向机场飞去，飞机沿着跑道滑行了很长一段距离后安全降落了。故答案为following。
答案：following
70．解析：考查动词的时态。句意：在跑道上过了很长时间之后安全着陆。根据句意可知用一般过去时态。故答案为landed。
答案：landed

I am angry about the behavior of dishonest in exams. I'm not saying that I'm a good student and that I've never cheated. I once write the answers on my hand for a history test but，unluckily, caught by my teacher. Because she was one of my most favorites, there were no words to describe how sorry I felt at once.

One possible version：
Arthur Clarke was a great British novelist and he has been the most famous science fiction writer so far. His works are mainly focused on space.
Clarke was born in England on December 16,1917. When he was young he loved looking at the stars and reading old science fiction magazines. During the Second World War，he joined the army. In 1945，he predicted the existence of geostationary satellites, which came true 20 years later. From 1952, he devoted himself to writing science fiction novels as a full-time author. Unfortunately，he suffered from a serious illness in 1962 and had to stay in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. But he kept on writing until he passed away in 2008.
He produced many famous works，and among the most popular are Childhood's End, The City and the Stars, 2001：A Space Odyssey and Rendezvous with Rama.
