If you go out to the fields at night in spring or summer, you can hear frogs singing{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(joy) here and there. It seems as if they were performing a field symphony（交响乐）.

    The frog is a good and useful creature that benefits human beings. They can catch fast-moving insects. Each frog eats a large number of pests that are {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(harm) to crops. This little creature is regarded {#blank#}3{#/blank#}“the natural enemy of pests”.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} now frogs are getting fewer and fewer. This is{#blank#}5{#/blank#}they are killed and put on the table as a delicious dish by their chief enemy, human beings. It is a shameless and cruel act, isn't it? Another reason responsible for the rapid reduction of frogs is {#blank#}6{#/blank#}farmers use insecticides (杀虫剂) to kill pests and frogs get {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(kill)as a result of drinking poisoned water or eating poison-killed insects.

    Something must be done without delay {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(save) frogs. If we don't punish those {#blank#}9{#/blank#}sell and kill frogs to make money, then one day all of us {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(punish) by nature for failing to keep the balance of nature.

    Now whenever I get close to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (lose) my patience, I'll think of a report that I watched on TV years ago. It {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (report) that nearly 100,000 people died from traffic accidents that year, causing a lot of damage and pain for individuals and society. Road safety has aroused {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (wide) attention of the public than ever before. In recent years, many rules {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (make) to reduce the traffic crashes, especially for the ones {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (involve) in the pedestrians. As far as I'm concerned, we should take road safety {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (serious) in our daily life. While using the road, we must walk on the pavement, take notice of the traffic lights and learn to protect {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. Besides, car drivers should obey the traffic rules, which is both good for themselves and others. Above all, we should teach our children to treasure life and get to know and obey the traffic rules.

    All {#blank#}8{#/blank#} all, life is so precious that we can't afford to lose it. Obeying the traffic rules is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} all of us should pay attention to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (particular). Only by attaching great importance to traffic safety can we all live a better life.

    When the modern Olympic Games {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (start) in 1896 in Athens, Greece, there was no such thing as the Winter Olympics. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(player) completed only in the Summer Games. However, there were the Nordic Games. There was a(n) {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(compete) of winter sports that took place every few years starting in 1901. But the Nordic Games were only to athletes {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.

    The winter sports were popular, so in 1924 an International Winter Sports Week {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (hold) in Chamonix, France. About 250 athletes from 16 countries competed in nine sports and there were 11 female athletes, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} competed in figure skating.

    Still, the Winter Olympics were under way, adding more sports to the games and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (especial) more sports for women. Women got the chance {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(take) part in skiing, ice hockey(冰球）{#blank#}9{#/blank#} other sports. Now the Games have such {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(interest) events as snowboarding and skeleton(俯式冰橇）.

    The following are some greatest artists or painters in the world.

    Pablo Picasso was considered {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（be）the greatest western artist of the twentieth century,{#blank#}2{#/blank#}was a Spanish artist. Picasso and another painter, George Braque, started Cubism.

    Roy Lichtenstein was{#blank#}3{#/blank#}contemporary American artist. One of{#blank#}4{#/blank#}（he） works is a world famous example of pop art. Pop art was an important modern art movement that {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（aim） to show ordinary twentieth-century city life.

    Qi Baishi was one of China's {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（great） painters. He followed the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（tradition） Chinese style of painting. Chinese painting is known {#blank#}8{#/blank#}its brush drawings in black inks and natural colours. Qi Baishi's paintings are special because he observed the world of nature very{#blank#}9{#/blank#}（careful）.

    Xu Beihong was one of China's best-known twentieth-century{#blank#}10{#/blank#}（artist）.

    Like Qi Baishi, Xu painted in the traditional Chinese style and is most famous for his lively paintings of horses.

    Cambridge University in the UK acknowledged on Monday that it did consider a Chinese student's score on the national college entrance exams known{#blank#}1{#/blank#}the gaokao for new admissions. It also stressed that admissions are not only based on test scores but a comprehensive {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(assess)of each applicant. The response came after inquiries poured in over the last two days{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(follow)news reports claiming Cambridge started accepting China's gaokao scores from new{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(applicant).

    The reports{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (apparent) raised hopes of many Chinese students and parents{#blank#}6{#/blank#}thought entrance requirements to the storied university had now become somewhat {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(easy). Many netizens even joked{#blank#}8{#/blank#}they could retake their gaokao and get a better mark they would apply to the famed university. The university, however, says it {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (consider) gaokao scores for years, requiring a student{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(rank) in the top 0.1 percent on the test in their province. Students also have to pass the still-required test, IELTS.

    In addition to Cambridge University, there are six other universities in the UK that recognize gaokao scores.
