messenger（信使）. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine.
The higher levels of nicotine discourage the insect.

是其内容通顺，每空格限填一次，首字母已给）
It was August in Paris. Most people were out of the city, enjoying their summer holiday.
The streets were c__71__ and restaurants were closed.
But on a Saturday morning at 9 a.m. I was standing in a queue. I was waiting to see
Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, the world's most famous artwork. I bought the ticket in advance.
However, by the time I arrived at the Louvre（卢浮宫）, there had been a very long l__72__.
It took me around 30 minutes to pass the security check. As I entered the museum, I found
the second airport-style queue of the day. The queue moved forward s__73__ and silently. It's
just like a tip to lkea. You have to be patient because it takes much time to move forward.
However, you have to walk, eye-down, past lots of sofas and tables before you reach what you
need.
The only sign the Mona Lisa was c__74__ was a forest of security officers. Only ten people
were allowed to view the painting at a time. A poster outside the pen（围栏）warmed. "The
Mona Lisa has many admirers. Please keep you visit short and sweet to give e__75__ a chance
to meet her."
"How short is short and sweet?" I wondered. Very short, it turned out.
My watch clocked only 22 seconds from entering the pend before two staff members told
me it was time to g__76__. "One photo and leave," they said. I tried to take a selfie, but an
arm quickly came to guide me onwards. Behind me, the queue moved forward, ten by ten, to
take a photo and leave.
I was almost a__77__ as I admired the other artworks in the Louvre. I couldn't help
wondering: Why are there so many people to see the Mona Lisa and so few to see the other
artworks? Are we really going to appreciate the famous artworks or are we just "checking in" at
the "popular" attractions?
D. Read the passage below and answer the following questions（根据文章内容回答下列问题）
①The debate on "textbooks vs. computers" has been going on for years. How much
technology is enough in the classroom? Should textbooks be replaced by computers?
②There is no doubt that computers are powerful tools. Computer-based lesson plans are
updated in real time. New information can be added as soon as changes take place. Students can
find the latest information for the subjects they are studying.
③With computers, students can learn how to use them for the rest of their lives. Today,
computers are used in almost all areas. Students can prepare themselves better for the future if
they have computers.
④However, despite these advantages, I think textbooks must stay.
⑤Textbooks are professionally edited. All the facts have been checked. They are put together
in the best way. Each chapter builds on what a student has previously learned. On the internet,
however, not all the information is true to organized.
⑥With textbooks, it is easier for students to take notes. Scientists have found that taking
notes by hand helps students learn more.
⑦ Textbooks are also less expensive than computers. While most families can afford
textbooks, not all of them can afford a computer. Every student should be allowed to learn what
he needs to learn. It's wrong to rob a student of his right to learn just because he can't afford
the material.
⑧Computers are playing an important role in education. They allow students to learn more.
However, I don't think they can replace textbooks. If students want to learn well, they must use
textbooks. Do you agree with me?
78. What is the main idea of the second paragraphs?
79. Does the third paragraph suggest that computers are useful to students?
80. How many advantages do textbooks have according to the passage?
81. What advantage do textbooks have over computers according to paragraph 7?
82. What's the writer's point of view in the last paragraph?
83. Do you think computers should replace textbooks? Why or Why not?
VII. Writing（作文）
84. Write at least 60 words on the topic "Things I love to do at weekends"（以“周末我喜欢做
的事”为题写一篇不少于60 个词的短文，标点符号不占格。）
在紧张的学习之余，周末做些自己喜欢的事可以调节放松一下自我，以便更有效地继续下一
周的学习，请谈谈你周末喜欢做的事，并说说理由。
