The two boys began working. Curtis first placed two cards to make the shape of an upside down “V”. Then, he did the same thing with two more cards, placing them beside the first pair. Soon, he had a line of cards that looked like tepees (圆锥形帐篷). Next, he placed cards across the tops of the tepees for the next level. Phil put four cards to form a tall rectangle (长方形). Then, he placed cards on top of the rectangle to make his next level stand on it. Then the boys’ troubles appeared. When Curtis tried to build his second level of tepees, he found that the cards on the second level could not stand. When Phil tried to build his second level, he found the rectangle was not steady (平稳的) enough to be on the second level. “Well, this is disappointing,” said Phil. “I have an idea,” said Curtis. “Maybe my tepees would work better on the top of your rectangle.” Phil said, “I agree. Let’s try it!” Finally, they succeeded. As the saying goes, “One tree cannot make a forest.” For the one who wants to succeed in doing something, I would say: _____________________________ 53. How many cards did Curtis need to make an upside-down “V”? (不超过5个词) _____________________________ 54. What was Phil’s problem? (不超过15个词) _____________________________ 55. What would the writer say at the end of the text? (不超过15个词) _____________________________ 【答案】53. Four. 54. The rectangle was not steady enough to be on the second level. 55. Unity is strength. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Phil和Curtis两个人为了看谁用卡片建的房子更高而进行了比赛，但是两个人都失败了，最后他们意识到合作的重要性。 【53题详解】 根据“The two boys began working. Curtis first placed two cards to make the shape of an upside down ‘V’. Then, he did the same thing with two more cards, placing them beside the first pair. Soon, he had a line of cards that looked like tepees (圆锥形帐篷).”可知，Curtis首先放了两张牌，做成了一个倒置的“V”形。然后，他又用两张牌做了同样的事情，把它们放在第一张牌旁边。很快，他就有了一排看起来像圆锥形卡片的卡片。由此可知，Curtis需要四张卡片才能做出一个倒立的“V”。故填Four. 【54题详解】 根据“When Phil tried to build his second level, he found the rectangle was not steady (平稳的) enough to be on the second level.”可知，当Phil试图建造他的第二层时，他发现矩形不够稳定，无法达到第二层。故填The rectangle was not steady enough to be on the second level. 【55题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案为Unity is strength. IX. 单词拼写(共5小题；每小题1分, 满分5分) 根据首字母及汉语提示, 完成下列单词的拼写, 使句意明确, 语言通顺。 56. Practice makes p___________ (完美的)! 【答案】(p)erfect 【解析】 【详解】句意：熟能生巧。根据汉语“完美的”及首字母p提示，此处应填形容词perfect。故填(p)erfect。 57. As tigers m___________ (大多数) live in Asia, they have become a cultural symbol of eastern countries. 【答案】(m)ostly 【解析】 【详解】句意：由于老虎大多生活在亚洲，它们已经成为东方国家的文化象征。mostly表示“大多数”，是副词修饰动词live。故填(m)ostly。 58. There are so many stars in the sky, so we can’t c_________ (数)them clearly. 【答案】(c)ount 【解析】 【详解】句意：天空中有如此多的星星，所以我们不能清楚地数它们。根据“There are so many stars in the sky”及首字母提示可知，星星太多数不清，此处表示“数”，应用动词count；又因情态动词can’t后应接动词原形。故填(c)ount。 59. The s_________ (围巾) were made of cotton. 【答案】(s)carves 【解析】 【详解】句意：这些围巾是由棉花制造的。scarve“围巾”，根据后面的“were”可知，名词用复数。故填(s)carves。 60.
