Instead, they put a dead mouse in their mouth and left it there for s6 hours. People suffering from backache often have much p7 , because a vertebra is not in the right p8 . In those days, the patients in Greece were t9 to a ladder which was p10 up high and then dropped to the ground. It was expected to help the vertebra go back into place. Unbelievable, isn't it?

In the summer of 1848 in Guatemala, Ambrosio Tut and the l11 governor found a Mayan city in the j12 , where temples, pyramids, squares and houses were built and kings had lived when the Mayans r13 the region.

【解析】

文章大意:本文主要叙述了古代人们的治病方法以及玛雅城市的消失过程。

1句意:有史以来人们有病医生尽力给他们治愈。

根据句意有史以来人们有病医生尽力给他们治愈可知。故填cure

2句意:因为医疗知识的缺乏,他们尝试一些奇怪和有害的治愈。

根据句意人们尝试奇怪的方法来治病,由此可以推出他们对药物了解得很少,故填medicine

3句意:因为医疗知识的缺乏,他们尝试一些奇怪和有害的治愈。

根据上下文可推测古代人们的质量方式奇怪且有害,表示有害的形容词是harmful。故填harmful

4句意:以古老的埃及人为例。

埃及人是古老的,所以用ancient修饰。故填ancient

5句意:那些牙痛的人不去看牙医。

因为文中说埃及人不习惯去看牙医, 所以他们应该得了牙痛,故填 toothaches

6句意:把死老鼠放进嘴里,留在嘴里几个小时。

根据句意是 "他们反而放一只死老鼠在嘴里,放几个小时" ,故填several

7句意:背痛的人经常痛得很厉害。

根据句意背痛的人经常痛得很厉害,固定搭配have much pain表示疼得很厉害。故填pain

8句意:因为脊椎不在正确的位置。

根据句意背痛是因为脊柱错位,所以这里应该填含义为位置的名词 "position"。故填position

9句意:古代希腊的病人被带到高高竖起的梯子上,然后掉到地上。

根据句意病人被带到堆得很高的阶梯上然后掉下来可知。故填taken

10句意:古代希腊的病人被带到高高竖起的梯子上,然后掉到地上。

动词短语 pile up 堆起来,本句是指 "病人被带到堆得很高的阶梯上然后掉下来" 。故填piled

11句意:在1848年的夏天危地马拉安布罗西奥图特,当地的统治者在建有庙宇、金字塔、广场和房子的热带丛林中发现了玛雅城。

根据句意 "Ambrodio和当地统治者人发现了玛雅古城。" 所以填local。故填local

12句意:在1848年的夏天危地马拉安布罗西奥图特,当地的统治者在建有庙宇、金字塔、广场和房子的热带丛林中发现了玛雅城。玛雅古城是在丛林地下发现的,故填jungle

13句意:当玛雅人规划好区域时,国王已经住下来了。

根据句意可知玛雅时期的寺庙,金字塔,广场和宫殿都被发现了,故填ruled

14句意:一些人已经在寻找大西岛,据说是一个在大西洋中间小时的岛屿。

从前文人们一直在寻找Atlantis可知它是一个消失的城市,所以本空填lost

15句意:多亏岛上自然资源,那的人们很富裕。

从后半句人们过得富足反推岛上的自然资源很丰富,故填资源"resources"

16句意:几百年来人们过着富足的生活。

前两句说岛上资源丰富,人们富足,可以推断他们几百年内过着富足的生活,故填富足的sufficient修饰lives。故填sufficient

17句意:慢慢地他们变得很贪婪,想有政权。

根据上下文,上帝最后对人们进行了报复,所以他们应该是逐渐变贪婪了才会被报复,所以这里填贪婪greedy充当became的表语。故填greedy

18句意:慢慢地他们变得很贪婪,想有政权。本空所填的名词作wanted的宾语,应该是名词,这里对贪婪做出解释他们想要权力,故填power

19句意:因此上帝决定摧毁大西岛。

从文章逻辑来看,人们变贪婪, 爱权利, 自然为了报复摧毁了Atlantis, 所以本空填摧毁的动词destroy。故填destroy

20句意:突然之间"岛和岛上的人被海水吞没了,再也没被看见过。

根据句意 "岛和岛上的人被海水吞没了,再也没被看见过。" 可知本空应填动词swallow的过去分词和were构成被动语态。故填swallowed

【题目】 Everybody says that youth(青春) is the best time of our lives. Being young means romance(浪漫), love and new discoveries, but it is also the most difficult time, because you have to make some very important decisions, which will influence your future life.

Things are not easy nowadays even for adults, but for teenagers, who have to find their own place in society, it’s even difficult. It is necessary not only to adapt to(适应)society, but also to be confident of your position in five, ten or even twenty years time.

For the future it is important to have a good job. In order to get a really good job, you have to be well educated.

Emotional problems for young people can be very important, too. The first teenager problem is that “nobody understands me”. Some parents often continue to treat their children as little children when they are starting to consider themselves to be adults.

There are also some global problems. Young people in all countries are facing these problems. Let’s start with smoking. According to studies, at the age of 16, almost 72% of all boys and 37% of all girls in Russia have already tried smoking. Smoking is not a natural need. It’s just that teens try it when they want to appear to be more like adults.

Drugs are also a serious problem. Students know the names of drugs well enough. 32% say they have tried drugs at least once, mainly because they were having fun, their friends influenced them to, they wanted to relax or they wanted to seem “cool”. That’s too bad.

So, you see, problems do happen and they can’t be ignored. We should pay much attention to them.
