15、reamed of winning the Lotto but what actually happens when our numbers come up? The answer is rather heart-warming. New research out today from Lotto New Zealand reveals three-quarters of Powerball winners think of sharing (21)_ spending.One lucky Powerball winner from Tauranga was even thinking of
16、others before his numbers came up. “A week before I won Lotto, I saw an ambulance(22)_ side bore the name of the donor, and I thought, if l ever win Lotto, thats what I will do and then 10 days later I won,“ he said. Having won $5.5 million dollars. hes now spending a part of the money on two ambula
17、nces for his local hospital. “Theyre going to say (23)_ (donate) by a Lotto winner on the side. I hope that it will inspire others to pay it forward if they ever find (24)_ in a fortunate position like I have.“My life (25) _ (save) many years ago by a St John ambulance and its a marvellous feeling r
18、epaying back that kindness.“ It was this kind of behavior (26)_ led to Lotto NZs inspiring true story of a Kiwi man who won $15 million and, honouring a promise made long ago, went halves with his mate.2017 was the (27) _ (lucky) year on record for Powerball winners. “Last year, there were 19 differ
19、ent Powerball winners(28) _ most of them had in common was the desire to share their good fortune,“ said Emilia Mazur, General Manager Corporate Communications.“Another Tauranga man won $10 million with Powerball in July and once he got over the shock of winning, his first thought was his community
20、and he has since shared some of his winnings to upgrade its facilities.“Group players are natural sharersnot only (29) _ they share the winnings among themselves but they also then want to help out other.“Everyone is just so happy, its created an amazing sense of freedom. “ said one of the group lea

23、 Alps, near the famous resort of St. Moritz, the commune of Bergan is one of the most beautiful mountain villages in Europe. So beautiful, in fact, that photos of it shared on social media may make people feel depressed that they cant visit, so local authorities banned tourists from taking photos.It
24、 may sound like a joke, but its actually a new law adopted by the Bergan village council and 31 by its mayor. To discourage visitors from taking photos in Bergan, they plan to 32 a symbolic e5 fine for those caught breaking the new rules.According to a statement by the Bergan tourism authority, “It
25、is scientifically proven that beautiful holiday photos on social media make the viewers unhappy because they cannot be there themselves.“However, it seems unlikely that Berguns new law was really thought of as a way to 33 Facebook or Instagram users of the depressing experience of seeing the beauty
26、of the village. As the news went 34 online, many assumed that it was actually a clever marketing 35 , a theory that was at least partially confirmed by the villages director of tourism, Marc-Andrea Barandun.“In the background of course the idea is that everyone is talking about Bergan,“ he told The
27、Local. “So its a combination of both we made the law and also theres some marketing aim behind it.“To show that they were serious about the law, Bergin authorities 36 photos of the village from its Facebook and Twitter accounts, and declared their intention to delete them from the Bergan website too
28、.If the new law was just a 37 strategy, it actually worked wonders, as people started 38 more photos of the beautiful mountain village soon after news of the photo ban started making news headlines.A few days ago, Mayor Nicolay 39 the debatable photo ban in a video, where he offered people visiting
29、Bergan a special 40 to take photos. He reminded them to think twice before sharing the pictures online, though, as they could be making their friends depressed.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirection: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.
30、Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.A cliche is a phrase that has been used so many times that it comes out of the mouth or the computer without stirring up a wave in the mind of the speaker, the typist, the listener or the reader. The word was part of the technical
31、 term of the French printing trade in the 19th century, the name for a plate used in the printing process, and it is still used with that meaning in English and other languages. By the middle of the same century, the word was being used in French, shortly followed by English, as a simile(比喻) for 41
32、used expressions.Cliches can be 42 according to whether they were originally idioms, similes and proverbs, expressions from trades or 43 phrases.Many idioms have been so universally overused that they have been 44 phrases like far and wide, by leaps and bounds or safe and sound. Our second category
33、could be similes and proverbs that now fall off the 45 with little meaning, similes like as cool as a cucumber, which 46 around 400 years.A large category is 47 from the terms of trades and professions, sports and games, and other national concerns. Many are 48 cliches, as is fitting for the British
34、, as an island nation, with examples like to leave a sinking ship, to know the ropes, to stick to ones guns.Our last broad category of cliche might be phrases which were 49 when they were first coined, but have become ineffective through constant use. When a football manager, asked how he felt about
35、 the 50 of his team, said that he was as sick as a parrot. Since then, it has been so overused that it has lost its 51 To explore every avenue and to leave no stone unturned are two political cliches of this class. No politician with any sensitivity for language could use either of those phrases 52
36、, yet you hear them still, all the time.No doubt we could specify the classes of cliches into further subdivisions until the cows come home. But there is no need to. We all agree that cliches are to be 53 by careful writers and speakers at all times, dont we? Well, actually, no, not I. Life, and lan
37、guage, are so full of cliches that silence will hold the position if you 54 us the use of cliche. So many millions of people have spoken and written cliches so 55 that it is almost impossible to find ideas and phrases that have not been used many times before. 41.

AFree to SoarOne windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds
42、racing and dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them in check.Instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the string and the tail kept them attached, facing upward and against the wind. The kites stru
43、ggled and kept being dragged behind, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and trembled against the string. they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!“ They soared beautifully even as they fought the restriction of the string Finally, one of the kites succeede
44、d in breaking loose. “Free at last,“ it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.“Yet freedom from restriction simply put it at the mercy of a cruel breeze. It flew ungracefully to the ground and landed in a messed mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last“, free to lie powerless
45、in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifeless against the first obstruction.How much like kites we sometimes are. The heaven gives us misfortune and limitations, rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength. Restriction is a necessary companion to the winds o
46、f opposition. Some of us resist the rules so hard that we never soar to reach the heights we might have obtained. We keep part of the order and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.Let us each rise to the great heights, recognizing that some of the restrctions that we may be annoye
