9.In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand,there is an unusual group of musicians.They play many different (81)kinds of music-everything from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven.Both children and adults love this group.What makes them so (82)popular?Is it their music?Their looks?Yes,it's both of the things,but it's (83)alsosomething else:they're elephants.
These musical elephants started at the TECC(泰国大象保护中心)in Lampang.The TECC protects elephants.It teaches people to understand and love them.And,like many zoos (84)around the world,the TECC encourages elephants to paint.
Richard Lair(85)wokksfor the TECC.He loves his job there and knows a lot about elephants.He says some of the animals'paintings are very good.But,in fact,elephants(86)hear better than they see.And so he had an idea:if elephants are(87)smartand they have good hearing,maybe they can play music.To test his idea,Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra.During a performance(表演),the elephants play a number of(88)instrumnets,including the drums and the xylophone(木琴).
But can elephants really make music properly?Yes,says Lair.They are very creative.Human (89)encouragethe animals to play,but the elephants make their own songs; they don't just copy their trainers(90)orother people.There are now CDs of the group's music which make money for the TECC.And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.

分析 【文章大意】本文介绍了在泰国北部有一个非常受欢迎的大象乐队.它们演奏不同种类的音乐,从传统的泰国歌曲到贝多芬乐曲的一切音乐.大象非常聪明,它们也会画画.它们不但会模仿别人,也会创造它们自己的歌曲.

解答 81 kinds.根据句子:"everything from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven."可知传统的泰国歌曲和贝多芬音乐,这是音乐的种类,所以此处为种类,又因为前面是many,故填kinds.
82 popular.根据句子:"Both children and adults love this group."可知大人和小孩都喜欢.因此是受欢迎的.故填popular.
83 also.根据:"something else"可知此处还有其他的事情,表示递进,故用副词also.   
84 around.根据句子:"And,like many zoos (84)a  the world,"句意:像许多在世界各地的动物园.  around the world表示世界各地,是固定搭配,故填around.
85 works.根据句子:"Richard Lair(85)w for the TECC."可知Richard Lair为泰国大象保护中心工作.work for为…工作.又因为主语是第三人称单数,所以是works.
86 hear.根据句子:"if elephants are(87)s and they have good hearing"可知大象听觉好.故填hear.
87 smart.根据句子:"They are very creative."可知大象非常有创造力,因此它们是聪明的,故填smart.
88 instrumnets.根据句子:"including the drums and the xylophone(木琴)."可知鼓和木琴是乐器,有a number of 来修饰,故此处用复数名词instrumnets.
89  encourage.根据句子:"Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra."可知 Lair和他的朋友创建大象交响乐团,这是在鼓励大象演奏音乐. 故填encourage.
90 or.根据本空前后两者关系:"they don't just copy their trainers(90)o other people."他们不是简单复制或模仿他们的训练师或者其他人,所以根据句意推断出填写连词or.

Thinking about it later,I began wondering whether I would have been(48)Dif I had known what was in the purse!1(49)Dthat if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it,I might keep it.But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone's Christmas plans by finding and returning the purse.The good feeling it gave me was worth more than(50)Cthat could buy.
