双星词背诵检查12（soil——threaten）
姓名_______________________
1. The Farmer’s Secret
The old farmer examined the soil (1. ) carefully before deciding to sow (2. ) his seeds. A specialist (3.
) had advised him that the solar (4. ) energy this year was somewhat (5. ) stronger, which could lead
to a splendid (6. ) harvest.
2. The Soldier's Story
A weary soldier (7. ) sat by a small stream (8. ), his heart full of sorrow (9. ). The war had taken a
toll on（对某人长期产生严重负面影响） his soul (10. ), but the stability (11. ) of his homeland
gave him hope. Nearby, a spy (12. ) hid in the suburb (13. ), watching a suspicious statue (14.
) near the stadium (15. ).
3. The Kitchen Mystery
The chef was furious when he discovered the theft (16. ) of his finest steak (17. ).
He suspected (18. ) one of the staff, but without proof, he could only stare (19. ) in frustration.
Meanwhile, the baker tasted his bread - it was too sour (20. ). He realized he had used the
wrong substance (21. ).
4. Medical Miracle
The surgeon (22. ) worked in the surgery (23. ), using steel (24. ) instruments. The operation
would strengthen (25. ) the hospital's reputation. Outside, engineers worked to suspend (26. ) a
new bridge with a solid (27. ) structure (28. ), sponsored (29. ) by a generous donor.
5. Villagers in Danger
The villagers near the strait (30. ) faced a serious threat (31. ). Scientists warned they
might starve (32. ) under rising waters. A researcher presented a theory (33. ) with statistics (34.
), his thinking (35. ) was thorough (36. ), though some found it subjective (37. ).
6. The Stretching Suit
The tailor (38. ) crafted a special suit that could stretch (39. ) to fit any wearer—a tale (40. ) that
amazed his customers. One day, an astronomer wearing it while using his telescope (41. ) spotted a
new species (42. ). He submitted (43. ) this substantial (44. ) discovery to a journal, while
listeners showed sympathy (45. ) when learning the old tailor's hands now trembled too much to sew.
7. Society's Challenges
The new tax (46. ) caused tension (47. ), threatening (48. ) financial stability. Officials said it
was suitable (49. ). Meanwhile, engineers tackled (50. ) a bridge issue, using steel to sustain (51.
) it against surrounding (52. ) storms. The sum (53. ) was high, but the superior (54. ) design
would last.
8. The Broken Teapot
Grandma's antique teapot (55. ) fell and shattered on the kitchen floor. As she bent to sweep (56. )
the pieces, she noticed a small string (57. ) tied around the handle - perhaps a subsequent (58. )
owner had repaired it before. The incident stimulated (59. ) her curiosity about its history.
9. The Temple Expedition
Archaeologists explored an ancient temple (60. ) in the disputed territory (61. ). They set
up temporary (62. ) shelters, using tablets (63. ) to record findings. One researcher wanted
to strike (64. ) the walls gently, listening for hollow sounds.
10. The Factory Strike
Workers decided to strike (65. ) when management switched (66. ) to cheaper materials.
The subsequent (67. ) negotiations lasted weeks. A young engineer used statistics to show how the
changes would lead to long-term losses.
11. The Playground Memory
Children laughed on the swing (68 ), its rusty chains making a musical string (69. ) sound. Nearby,
a gardener swept leaves into a tank (70. ) for composting. The scene reminded Mr. Lin of
his temporary (71. ) childhood in the countryside.
12. The Digital Revolution
Many readers now subscribe (72. ) to digital magazines instead of buying print copies. This switch
has stimulated （73 ）new tendencies (74. ) in publishing.
