Byron's Pool
Many stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University, Arriving in 1805,
he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of "mess and drunkenness". However, it seems as
though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I'm not just talking about the pet
bear he ke pt in his roans. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.
It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known
as Byron's Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the
pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make
the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If

Part IV Writing (45 marks)
Section A (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information
from the passage
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
Since the earliest civilizations, people have controlled rivers to meet society's demands. Today,
rivers are controlled for many reasons, primarily to maintain reliable water supplies for daily,
agricultural and industrial needs, for power generation, for navigation (航行), and to prevent
flooding.
River control is achieved by channelization, a term that covers a range of river engineering works,
including widening, deepening, straightening and stabilization of banks, and by the construction of
dams.
An important period of channelization took place in Europe during the l9'th century, when many
large rivers were straightened and their beds deepened. One of the most dramatically changed was
the Tisza River, a branch of the Danube that flows through Hungary. The controlling of the Tisza,
designed to reduce flooding and make land for agriculture, included cutting off more than 100
meanders (河曲), shortening the river's length by nearly 400 kilometers.
One of the most common ways in which people control rivers is by damming them. The past 50
years or so has seen an increase in dam construction worldwide, and at the beginning of the 21st
第6页 | 共8页century, there were about 800,000 dams globally, some towering more than 200 meters in height.
Despite their successes, many dams also cause significant environmental changes that prove
harmful. Some particularly deep reservoirs (水库) can bring about earthquakes due to the stress on
their bottom rocks caused by huge volumes of water. Downstream of a reservoir, the river is
certainly influenced in many ways: water volume, speed and quality are all affected, leading to
changes in the landscape and among plants and animals.
