America and England had already fought two wars. Now, they were at peace. But one day a pig got hungry. And it nearly caused a 78 war between the two countries. The pig was owned by a British man who lived on a small island. The island was just of the western part of North America. Both England and the US said the island was theirs. Across the island from the British man lived some American farmers. Everyone on the island got along peacefully. But the peace e 79 the day the British man’s pig decided to eat some of an American farmer’s potatoes. One of the American farmers shot and killed the pig. Then the pigs owner wanted $100 from the man who shot the animal. That was a lot of money, so the farmer refused to pay it. The British and Americans began to argue, and the s 80 got worse. The farmers asked the governor over the island at that time for help. He sent a group of soldiers to protect the farmers. The British answered by sending 2,000 soldiers. The British were on one side of the island, and the Americans were on the other. The problem that began with the pig was about to t 81 into a shooting war. When news of the problem reached Washington and London, both leaders were s 82 . Neither country wanted another war. They sent some men to try to fix the problem. After a discussion, it was decided that each country would keep a small group of soldier on the island. They would stay there until the two countries could decide who owned the island. Then the others would have to leave. Twelve years went by. Neither side wanted to give up the island, but they knew they had to do something. They asked the leader of Germany to help decide. After nearly a year of discussion, a d 83 was made. America would get the island. Finally, the Pig War was over and only one shot was fired. That was the shot that killed the pig! 【第十三套】 （23-24九年级上·上海静安·期中）Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words。 A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well, but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference w 84 the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly (肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people’s rule. They make their own r 85 . Every one of them does his work in a way peculia r(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he f 86 it more easy to work in that way. Now the very same thing is true to literature (文学). And the q 87 “How shall I begin?” only means that you want to begin at the head i 88 of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced (有经验的) e 89 to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail —that is to say, you will write the e 90 of the story before you have even thought of the beginning. 【第十四套】 （23-24九年级上·上海浦东新·期中）Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words(在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）： Storing data(数据) has become more convenient.

The farmers asked the governor over the island at that time for help. He sent a group of soldiers to protect the farmers. The British answered by sending 2,000 soldiers.

When news of the problem reached Washington and London, both leaders were s 82 . Neither country wanted another war. They sent some men to try to fix the problem. After a discussion, it was decided that each country would keep a small group of soldier on the island. They would stay there until the two countries could decide who owned the island. Then the others would have to leave. Twelve years went by. Neither side wanted to give up the island, but they knew they had to do something. They asked the leader of Germany to help decide.
