The Science Museum is the most friendly museum in London. As is known to all, shouting and running are not allowed in most museums, and touching the exhibits( 展品 ) is also forbidden . But the Science Museum in London is different. It is noisy!

People talk about what they can see and do here, and there are some very noisy machines, too. If you want answers to any of your questions about science, this is the right place. On the second and third floors, you can learn some knowledge about communications, the environment, chemistry and so on. For example, you can understand how people dig coal( 煤 ) from the ground and use it to create energy.

The Launchpad on the third floor is the most popular room because you can experience lots of physics experiments ( 实验 ) in it. For example, if you want to fill a bag with sand, you have to control a kind of truck on wheels and move it into the correct place. You can also find out how people travel into space and back again by spaceships. On its fourth and fifth floors, you can learn about what medicine was like in the past. Comparing the medicine of the past with today, you will feel very lucky to see a doctor in the modern hospitals!

People of all ages can visit the Science Museum in London for free. It’s very interesting. You can always find something new to you and have a wonderful time here. The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., so you can enjoy yourself here for either a few minutes or a few hours.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一滴滴雨滴们努力帮助农民的故事。

41 ．句意：他非常小心地做着，但由于长时间没有下雨，玉米正在枯萎。

great 好的，形容词原级； greater 更好的，形容词比较级； greatest 最好的，形容词最高级。根据 “He worked on it with the...care” 可知，空前有 the ，此处应用形容词的最高级形式。故选 C 。

42 ．句意：他非常小心地做着，但由于长时间没有下雨，玉米正在枯萎。

because 因为； where 哪里； when 什么时候。根据前后句意可知，空格后句子为前一句的原因，此处存在因果关系，故应用连词 because 。故选 A 。

43 ．句意：他感到很难过。

sad 难过的，形容词原级； sadder 更难过的，形容词比较级； sadly 难过地，副词。句中 “felt” 为系动词，故空格处应填形容词， C 选项可排除。 very 不用于修饰比较级，故应填 sad ，故选 A 。

44 ．句意：看看那个农民。我为他感到非常难过。

of…… 的； on 在 …… 上； for 为了。 feel sorry for 为固定搭配，意为 “ 为 …… 感到难过 ” ，符合句意，故选 C 。

45 ．句意：他在田里干得很辛苦，但现在土地正在干涸。

dry 干涸； is drying 正在干涸； dried 干的。根据句中 “now” 提示可知，该句应用现在进行时，故选 B 。

46 ．句意：但你只是一个小雨滴。你甚至连一株植物都弄不湿。

but 但是； so 因此； and 和。根据上文 “I wish I might help him” 可知，小雨滴想帮帮农民，但是另一滴雨滴却表达了异议，故此处应用表转折的连词 but 。故选 A 。

47 ．句意：但你只是一个小雨滴。你甚至连一株植物都弄不湿。

just 正好； only 仅仅； even 甚至。根据上文 “but you are only a little raindrop” 可知，另一滴雨滴认为他们只是一滴小雨滴，甚至连一株植物都弄不湿。故选 C 。

48 ．句意：我知道我做不了什么，但也许我能让他振作一点。

can’t 不能； shouldn’t 不应该； needn’t 不需要。根据下文 “but perhaps I can cheer him a little” 可知，此处指的是做不了太多，表能力的 “ 不能 ” 应用 can’t 。故选 A 。

49 ．句意：如果我不能做更多的事，我会下去表示我的支持。

something 一些事情； everything 每件事； anything 任何事。根据句中 “can’t” 提示可知，该句为否定句，故应用 anything ，故选 C 。

50 ．句意：嗯，我想我也能做到。

also 也； too 也； either 或者。根据下文 “Here I go” 可知，另一滴雨滴认为自己也能做到，故空格处应填意为 “ 也 ” 的单词，且空格处位于句末，故应填 too 。故选 B 。

51 ．句意：一滴雨滴！我相信我们很快会迎来阵雨。

a 不定冠词，表泛指，用于辅音音素开头的单词或字母前； an 不定冠词，表泛指，用于元音音素开头的单词或字母前； the 定冠词，表特指。根据上文 “One fell on the farmer’s nose” 可知，一滴雨滴滴到了农民的鼻子上，此处应用不定冠词表泛指，且空格后 raindrop 以辅音音素开头，故应用不定冠词 a 。故选 A 。

52 ．句意：这时，其他雨滴也看到了它们的所作所为。

you 你（们）； they 它们； it 它。根据下文 “If you two are doing such a good job, I shall follow” 可知，此处指的是两滴雨滴，故应用 they 。故选 B 。

53 ．句意： “ 还有我！ ” 另一个雨滴说。

others 其他事物； the other （两者中的）另一个； another 另一个的。根据上文 “And I!” 可知，另一滴雨滴也决定落下去，故应填 another ，故选 C 。

54 ．句意：直到下了一场大雨，作物才得以存活了下来。

save 救下； saved 救下，动词过去式； was saved 被救，一般过去时的被动语态。根据 “went down” 提示可知，时态为一般过去时， A 选项可排除。根据主谓关系可知，两者间为被动关系，故应用 was saved ，故选 C 。

55 ．句意：这一切都是因为一滴小雨滴尽了最大的努力。

do 做，动词原形； to do 去做，动词不定式； doing 做，动名词形式。 try one’s best to do sth. 为固定搭配，意为 “ 尽某人最大努力做某事 ” ，故选 B 。
