2、用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使短文完整、通顺。

In 1876, Mark Twain published The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The book is fun to read. Even today, it is quite 【1】 among children. And although I am in my thirties, the novel remains one of my favorites. After rereading the book 【2】, I learned an important lesson from Tom Sawyer.

In our daily lives, we are often given some boring or tiring tasks. Let’s be honest: What’s on your mind when your mom 【3】 you to sweep the floor? Have you ever wanted to complain? I think most of us have.

Tom Sawyer, however, 【4】 “differently" when he was given a boring task.

One Saturday morning, Aunt Polly told Tom to paint the fence. Tom’s friend Ben happened to walk past. Instead of 【5】 , Tom told Ben that he felt “excited” about the task. “Only one in a thousand—maybe even two thousand—boys can do this,” Tom said. “I enjoy it very much!”

Tom’s words made Ben 【6】 in the task. He even gave Tom his apple so that he could have a chance to paint the fence. If Tom had thought about 【7】 but complaining, he would have spent a bad day painting the fence.

Tom thought differently in order to trick others into working for him. Yet this story teaches me a 【8】 lesson: Complaining is useless. The next time you are given a boring or tiring task, don’t complain. 【9】 what happens in the story of Tom Sawyer, it is unlikely that someone will come and do the work for you. However, without complaining, you’ll feel 【10】 and perhaps even do a better job!

22、   The word photography was first used in 1839. However, at that time the subject (被拍对象) had to keep still while a picture of it was taken. Few people had ever tried to take photos of moving subjects. The first man to do so was Eadweard Muybridge, a world-famous photographer. He created the first moving picture.

When a horse is running, do all four hooves (蹄)ever leave the ground at the same time? That was the bet that a gentleman called Leland Stanford had with some of his friends. Most people believed that a horse always had one hoof on the ground, but Stanford didn’t think: so. Because a horse’s legs are moving so fast, it’s impossible to tell just by looking. Stanford needed a way to record the movement of a running horse. In 1872, Leland Stanford offered Eadweard Muybridge $25,000 to find the answer. Muybridge had no idea if he could successfully set up and perform an experiment to settle (解决) the bet, but he thought he should give it a try.

In 1878, after years of experiments, Muybridge got what he wanted. He had a sequence (连续) of 12 images (图像), and one of them clearly showed all four of the horse’s hooves were off the ground at the same time. In the end Muybridge collected his well-earned $25,000 from Stanford.

Though Thomas Edison is usually considered as the person who created the first cine-camera (电影摄影机) in 1889, it was the work of Eadweard Muybridge and the bet that led to Edison’s invention.

【1】The underlined word “still” most probably means “________” in Chinese.

A.安逸的 B.平衡的 C.直立的 D.静止的

【2】Leland Stanford thought that ________.

A.a horse always had one hoof on the ground while running

B.a horse had all 4 hooves off the ground at some point while running

C.it was possible for Eadweard Muybridge to make a moving picture

D.it was impossible for Eadweard Muybridge to make a moving picture

【3】Muybridge finally found the answer to the bet in ________.

A.1839 B.1872 C.1878 D.1887

【4】Muybridge’s experiments proved that it was ________ who won the bet.

A.Stanford B.Stanford’s friends. C.Muybridge D.Muybridge’s friends

【5】The passage mainly tells us ________.

A.that Thomas Edison created the first cine-camera

B.that Eadweard Muybridge created the first still pictures

C.how photography helped people know more about animals

D.how Eadweard Muybridge got pictures of movement successfully
