18、right up the hill , which is very steep, and ,when close under it , it seemed to be high, but we soon reached the top . When we were there, we had lost sight of the lake; and now our road was over a wild land._25_(go) a little way, we saw before us , at the distance of about half a mile, a very larg
19、e stone building, with a high wall round it , neither field nor tree near. The wild land was overgrown with grey grass that cattle might feed upon. We could not tell _26_ this building was. It appeared _27_ _ it had been built strong to defend from storms; but for what purpose? William called out to
20、 us that we should observe that place well, for it was exactly like one of the shelters of the Alps(阿尔卑斯山), _28_(build) for the reception of travelers, and indeed I had thought it _29_ be so. This building, from its singular structure and appearance, made the place , which is itself in a country _30
21、_ Scotland, remarkable. When we _31_(pass) it and looked back, three pyramidal mountains on the opposite side of Lock Lomond ended the view, _32_ in certain kind of weather might be very grand. Our highland companion had not got enough English to give us any information concerning this srange buildi
22、ng . What we could only get from her was that it was a large house, which was plain enough. (B) All plants need water to grow. Watering plants seems like a simple task but it actually requires many considerations. For example , plants growing in areas with low rainfall or areas _33_(expose) to dry w
23、ind require more water. On the other hand, plants which have a good adaptation to dry conditions or have the ability to store water in their cells require _34_(frequent) watering . The watering of plants should not be viewed as a minor process in gardening _35_ this task plays an extremely important
24、 role in ensuring healthy plant growth. Lets first take a closer look at plants growing in gardens. Since watering is a critical gardening task, _36_ accessible water supply is vital. A garden tap with a hose of sufficient length to reach the furthest part of the garden _37_(prefer). This tends to m
25、ake watering much easier and ensures adequate water is provided for the plants. Most inexperienced gardeners water little _38_very frequently. This is undesirable as it encourages shallow root growth. In addition, watering in full sun causes leaves to lose water quickly from the surface of the soil.
26、 Therefore, some experts recommend _39_(install) an automatic watering system. As for plants growing in pots or containers, they tend to lose water rapidly. One way to reduce such a risk is _40_(group) the plants close together to keep moisture. Try to move them to a shady place if you are away from
27、 home for a few days. Otherwise, you will return home to see your plants dead. Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once.

Note that there is one word more than you need.A. security B. represented C. delete D. respect E. violent F. disorderlyG. wonder H. withdraw I. agreeable J. knocked K. enjoymentThe fortunate people in the world, the only really fortunate peop
29、le in the world in my mind, are those whose work is also their pleasure. The class is not a large one, not nearly so large as it is often _41_ to be, and authors are perhaps one of the most important elements in its composition. They enjoy in this _42 at least a real harmony of life. To my mind, to
30、be able to make your work your pleasure is the one class distinction in the world worth striving for; and I do not _43_ that others tend to envy those happy human beings who find their livelihood in the gay effusions (流露) of their fancy, to whom every hour of labor is an hour of _44_ and even a holi
31、day is almost deprivation (丧失). Whether a man writes well or ill, has much to say or little, if he cares about writing at all, he will appreciate the pleasures of composition. To sit at the table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible _45 plenty of nice white paper and a pen is true happiness. With the complete absorption of the mind upon a(n) _46 occupation, what more is there than that to desire? What does it matter what happens outside? The House of Commons may do what it likes, and so may the House of Lords. The bottom may be_47 clean out of the Americ
