Useful Structures/Grammar
Damin sits on the side of the river cooking o meal, with a large bird on his head.
He is thin, and of average height, but he is very fit.
Although he is an elderly man, he is strong enough to control his raft in the river where he lives and works with his cormorants.
They can dive down 25 metres, and stay underwater for up to two minutes.
Damin’s fishing trips often begin in the late afternoon.
He sets off on his bamboo raft with his birds.
He ties a piece of grass around the neck of each bird, so that it cannot swallow the fish.
Later some of the fish are sold, and the rest are divided between Damin’s family and the cormorants.
In 50 years, perhaps there will be no more cormorant fishermen in the world.
Their large feet are used to push them quickly through the water.

Section B
Although the first airplane did not fly until 1903, flying soon became the fastest method of transport. Today it is 75 people's favorite way of traveling long distances because it has a lot of advantages. The first airplanes were not big or powerful enough to carry more than a pilot, but during the First World War (1914-1918) larger aircraft with up to four engines were 76 to carry bombs(炸彈). After the war some of these were changed to carry a few passenger services. In 1919 the first regular passenger services were started between several cities in Europe.
Air transport was even then too 77 for most cargoes(貨物), but mail began to be carried by air at an early stage. This was partly because letters are small and light, and partly because businessmen, especially, were prepared to pay more for their mail to be delivered by the fastest method. 78 , in the United States, where letters could take over a week to cross the country by train, airmail services were the first regular transport flights.
The early passenger aircraft could carry only about 12 passengers, and only enough 79 for short journeys. For long distances, such as from Europe to the United states, filled with very light gas and able to float through the air, began to be used in the 1930s.
By the end of the Second World War in 1945, much larger airplanes had been made. At the same time, military(軍事的) airfields had been built all over the world, and long-distance routes had been set up. After the war, the introduction of the jet engine, which 80 much greater power, allowed even bigger and faster aircraft to be built. Today's wide-bodied airplanes can carry as many as 800 passengers.
Modern air transport passenger services are quite convenient. Air transport has allowed more people to travel abroad than ever before.
75. A) quietly B) easily C) directly D) recently

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words
Do you want to make homework simpler Oxford Learning founder and CEO Dr.Nick Whitehead said, "Homework might be an unavoidable（不可避免的）part in school, but it doesn't have to be that boring part. With the right skills in place,students can turn homework from headache-including to trouble-free.
"These steps will make an obvious d 81 .
Use your notebooks
The brain is able to finish great works,but it is not a 82 perfect.Students
should never rely on it to remember all school details.When a teacher assigns
homework,students should write the details in their notebooks.According to Whitehead,to make them effective,students n 83 to remember to take the note books out of the school bags at night,open them up,and read over the night's list.
Remove distractions(使注意力分散的事物)
Computers on, music on, text messages receiving…Whitehead says if students
aren't doing research,they should turn off all the above electronics,and focus on the
task at hand for a set period of time.They'll find that it is e 84 to concentrate
and that homework takes less time.
Think actively
Getting homework done is the name of the game, but what happens if students
are struggling with a question or can't work out an answer When facing difficulties,
it is wise for the student to take a small break, then r 85 to look at the problem
again.
Get organized
Homework is often the most disorganized part. Whitehead recommends," Stude
nts should keep all the homework-related things in a bin,so they don't waste time s
86 for pens or rulers."He also recommends picking the same place to do homewor
k every night, and（when possible）completing homework at a c 87 time each
day.
