a. some memories can ruin peoples lives. b. people want to get rid of bad memories. c. experiencing bad events makes us different from others. d. the pill will reduce peoples sufferings from bad memories. （d）it seems to be strange to you there is a blind spot on the eyes. here is an interesting experiment that can make something disappear, when one eye is open.make a card about the size of a postcard and write two english letters l and r on it, l on the left and r on the right. first, hold the card about 80 cm away and you see both the letters. then close your right eye and look at the letter r only with your left eye. and now, as you move the card slowly towards you, youll find the letter l disappearing. but if you move the card nearer to your face, the letter will be seen again. now do the same experiment with your left eye closed, youll find the letter r disappearing.why does the letter disappear? it is because there is a blind spot on the eye. when the image (影像) of the letter falls on the blind spot, it wont be seen. that is why either of the letters disappears.（ ） 36.the writer of the passage thinks that _ there is a blind spot on the eye.a. few people know b. no one knows c. most people know d. all the people know（ ） 37. “a blind spot” in the passage means _ in chinese.a.污点 b. 消散 c. 盲点 d. 遗失（ ）38. you fail to see the letter l in the experiment because _.a. your eyes are poor b. its image falls on the blind spotd. your left eye is not open c. you move it close to your eye（ ）39. in which order (顺序) should you do the experiment?hold the card move the card nearer close your right eye write two english letters look at the letter r make a carda. b. c. d. （ ）40. the passage mainly (主要) tells us _.a. how to find the blind spot b. an interesting experiment c. where the blind spot is d. there is blind spot on the eye非选择部分 （共45分）四、单词拼写（本大题共10分，每小题1分）(a)根据句意和中文意思，写出单词的正确形式。1.the red lines on the map often_(代表)railways2.plantingtreescanhelptomakeour_(环境)clearerandmorebeautiful. 3.sometimes its difficult for us to make alone.(决定)4.seven of the trees have been watered so far.（二十）5.he likes to wear yellow coats, because yellow is the colour of _.
