Then I _2_ (hear) the scream of nature.”Many experts say that The Scream is connected to Munchs mental health problems, _3_ caused him a lot of pain.BThe Empire of Light is a series of paintings by Belgian
6、artist Ren Magritte. Between 1953 _4_ 1954, he painted the same scene 27 times. It shows a beautiful house lit by lights from inside, _5_ (surround) by the darkness of night. What is strange is that above the house and the tree, we see a daytime sky full of brightness and soft white clouds. It seems

The famous German composers ninth symphony was finally comp
12、leted. _10_(write) the piece had taken several years, and now the final notes had been added to the score. _11_54 years of age, he didnt know that this would be his last symphony. As he _12_(proud) signed his name at the bottom of the page, Beethoven tried to imagine how people would respond when th
13、ey heard it for the first time.CBefore the performance, the backstage atmosphere at a very famous theatre in Vienna was _13_ (tension). Beethoven was afraid that the performance would be a disaster. After all, what use is a conductor _14_ could not hear his orchestraeven if he is a musical genius?Pa
14、ssage4AThe audience did not hesitate _1_ (applaud) loudly as the famous composer walked out onto the stage for the first time in 12 years. The theatres musical director, Michael Umlauf, joined him and together the two men took charge _2_the orchestra. For more than an hour, Beethoven jumped about in
15、 front of the orchestra, _3_(wave) his arms wildly in the air, and madly turning the pages of his score.

16、d of the symphony, the audience jumped to their feet, _5_(clap), cheering and waving their hats. But Beethoven continued conducting, his head buried in the score.

Well, say you leave the tap running while you brush your teeth, leave a light on when you go out or you drop a piece of litter and cant be bothered_2_ (pick) it up. You know that all those things are
19、 wrong, but so what? “What _3_(different) can it possibly make?” you say to yourself. “There are millions of people in the world and Im just me. BHow can it matter if I leave one little tap running, one little light on or leave a little piece of litter on the road? And anyway, no one will know.” Of
20、course, it wouldnt matter if there were just a few people in the world. But just think of all the millions of people _4_(say) to themselves: “It doesnt matter. Its just me. And, anyway, no one knows.” Millions of gallons of water would _5_(waste); millions of lights would be left on; millions of pie
21、ces of litter would be dropped. And all of this would be very _6_(harm).C_7_(inspire) young people to take7action for the environment, animals and their community, Roots & Shoots was established.

The idea began about 50 years ago, and was first known as “white
28、 bikes”. Amsterdam is a good city for_2_ (cycle) because its flat and therefore convenient for bikes. There are also plenty of places for bicycle parking and most streets in the city centre have a bicycle path. Because_3_its convenience for bicycles, Amsterdam has become very popular with cyclistsan
29、 amazing 38% of all trips _4_(make) by bike. Some people even call Amsterdam “the City of Bicycles”.BWhere did the idea of “white bikes” come from? In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans _5_(come) up with an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody if cars werent allowed in the city
30、centre and only bicycles were. They were_6_( hope) that this would help to save energy, reduce _7_(pollute) and provide free public transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycles white and placed them in many areas around Amsterdam for people to use. Anyone was allowed to take them and use them f
31、or short journeys. CPeople would leave the bike in the place _8_ they finished their journey, so that someone else could then take it and use it from there. Soon after, _9_, problems came up and the “white bikes” all disappearedthieves stole them all in a matter of weeks! In 1999, the “white bikes”
32、returned to Amsterdamthis time with a computer tracking system _10_(record) their every move! Passage8A_1_(take) a bicycle, you had to put in a special card. The new “white bikes” were not _2_(actual) white but painted in bright colours. The bikes were parked at special parking places. Thus people _
33、3_ wanted to use them had to take them to another special parking place near their destination and leave them there. BThanks _4_ the ideas and efforts of many people, like the cycling fans of the 1960s and those who enabled the return of “white bikes”, you can now enjoy clean air and easy transport
34、in central Amsterdam. Nowadays, the idea of “white bikes” _5_ (pedal) its way around the world and there has been a _6_(globe)increase in bike-sharing.CIn China, more and more cities have their own “white bike” programmes. Both the locals and tourists like to use shared bikes because bike-sharing is
35、 a cheap and easy way _7_(save) energy, reduce air and noise pollution, and enjoy the benefits of exercise in cities. However, problems can also develop, like the theft of bikes and parking issues. _8_（fortunate）people are trying different ways of _9_(solve) those problems. _10_ will bike-sharing go
36、 in China? You decide.Passage9AMost people assume that the human brain is set on “automatic”that means it learns all by _1_(it) But this isnt always true. We need to train ourselves to be better learnersto _2_(active) take part in the learning process and to reflect _3_what we have learnt. These kin
37、ds of learning behaviours are called “active learning”. I suggest _4_(do) five things to take an active role in your learning.BThere are two kinds of voices: the inner voice and the outer voice. Your inner voice expresses your _5_(person) opinions, while the outer voice tells you about opinions from
38、 _6_ you hear or read. Although your inner voice can be useful, it can also get in the way of learning. If you keep _7_(pay) too much attention to it, you risk missing important information. Instead, active learners are open-minded and focus _8_ what the speaker/writer is saying, not on what their b
39、rain is saying in the background. In this way, they are in a better position to make decisions.CIf you find your inner voice difficult _9_( control), you can argue with it as most active learners do. When your inner voice tells you a speaker / writer is wrong, think about why the speaker / writer ma
40、y be right. Be flexible in your _10_(opinion) and you might end up agreeing with the speaker/writer after all. If not, at least you have “listened to” another point of view.Passage10Asking questions is the easiest way to promote active learning. When you get information _1_ someone, from books or th
41、e Internet, ask two, three, even five questions about the topic. The answers will lead you to further learning, and the very act of working out questions will help you to achieve a higher level of _2_(understand) about the topic. In short: Do not stop _3_(be) curious.BActive learners do not accept e
42、verything they learn. They attempt_4_ (find) the truth at the heart of each idea. Even when an idea sounds _5_(entire) unlikely, there may be an aspect of it that is based on truth. So if someone says that dinosaurs still exist today, think about _6_ they believe this. Where does the idea come from?
43、 Do they have enough data to support their views? If you try to find out the source of an idea, no matter how crazy it seems, you _7_( increase) your chance of learning something.CMany people miss out on learning opportunities because they let their feelings get in the way. They refuse to learn or i
44、gnore what is said because of who the speaker/writer is. It is true _8_ we cannot help disliking some peoplethis is human nature, after all. But do not forget you can still learn from them. Active learners do not judge people based _9_ first impressions or personal feelings. Instead, they separate t
45、he message from the messenger. This goes the other way as welldo not just assume that some people are always right because of who they are _10_ just because they are your friends.Passage11AWe remember things_1_have strong connections in our mind, especially emotional connections. Childhood memories
46、are often very emotional. This is because when we experience things for the first time, we often have strong feelings of fear or_2_ (excite). Also, interesting or funny stories from our childhood are often told again and again. As a result, we remember them much _3_(good), as retelling events helps fix experiences in our memories.BA person _4_ a photographic memory could remember every detail of a picture, a book or an event many years later
