But the most interesting things about this remarkable plant is what people do with it after it is cut down. People can use bamboo to make chairs, tables, curtains, cooking pots, flower vase, drinking cups. _29___.

28.B 解析：根据前文“Some bloom and have seeds every year. Some bloom only once, after living about forty years, and then die.”关键词“bloom”，此处讨论的是竹子开花的现象。
29.F
解析：根据前文“People can use bamboo to make chairs, tables, curtains, cooking pots, flower vase, drinking cups.”关键词“use”，此处讨论竹子的用途。
30.A

A. afraid B.bottles C.really D.mountain E.down F.monkeys G. largely H.climbed I.Finally J.tired K.beautiful L.happy
31.B bottles 解析：“We took a few ___31_ of water”主谓完整，宾语欠缺，空中应该填入名词，水的量词表达是“bottle”。
32.D mountain 解析：“where we climbed all the way up the __32__ to see the Buddha.”从句中主谓补完整，宾语中缺少表示地点的名词，根据climb攀爬可知，此处应该填mountain。
33.E down
解析：“Looking up at the large head and __33__ at the large feet makes you feel so small. ”谓语、宾语完整，主语欠缺。And连接并列结构，空中应该填入与“up”相似的介词，所以E正确。
34.H climbed 解析：“we ___34_ Mountain Emei”主语、宾语完整，缺少谓语，爬山的过去式用climbed。
35.K beautiful 解析：“the forest on the mountain is very _35___.”主系表结构，缺乏表语。形容森林“forest ”用“beautiful”。
36.A afraid 解析：“They are not __36__ of people.”缺乏表语。They指monkeys。它们应该是不害怕人类，用afraid。
37.C really 解析：“The monkeys __37_ like to touch my hair. ”主谓宾结构已经完整。此处应该填入副词“really”修饰动词“like”。
38.F monkeys 解析：“Xiao Rong took a photo of a monkey that was sitting on my head. The __38_ looked sweet,”缺主语。前文是为猴子拍照，关键词“took a photo of a monkey”所以此处填入monkey或monkeys。
39.I Finally
解析：根据后文“towards evening we were on the way back to Chengdu.” 可知大家返程。逗号前应该填入连词finally。
40.J tired 解析：“We were all very _40_ and slept on the bus”缺表语。此处应该填入表示情感的形容词happy。

At first the language in Britain and America was the same. In 1776 America _42___ (become) an independent country. After that, the language _43__ (slow) began to change. For a long time the language in America stayed the same,while the language in Britain changed. For example, 300 years ago the English talked about “fall”.

At the same time, British English and American English started __45(borrow) words from other languages, ending up with __46_(difference) words.For example, the British took “typhoon” from Chinese, while the Americans took “tornado” from Spanish.
In 1828, Noah Webster __47 (publish) the first American dictionary. He wanted to make American English different from British English, so he changed the spelling of many __48 (word) .

红色字体为根据推测补充的缺失部分
41.quick 解析：“There is no __41__ (quickly) answer to this question. ”修饰名词“answer”用形容词，空中词去掉ly。
42.became 解析：“In 1776 America _42___ (become) an independent country.”关键词“In 1776”可知事件发生在过去。所以动词become应该用过去式。
43.slowly 解析：“the language _43__ (slow) began to change. ”修饰动词“began”用副词“slowly”。
44.expression 解析：“In the same way Americans still use the _44_ (express) “I guess” (meaning “ I think”), just as the British did 300 years ago.”宾语不完整，此处应填入名词expression。
45.borrowing 解析：“British English and American English started __45(borrow) words ?from other languages,”固定搭配“start doing sth”所以填入borrow的分词形式。
46.different 解析：“ending up with __46_(difference) words.”修饰名词“words”用形容词，所以填入different。
47.published 解析：“Noah Webster __47 (publish) the first American dictionary.”缺谓语动词，因为发生在过去，所以这里用publish的过去式形式。
48.words 解析：“so he changed the spelling of many __48 (word) .” “many”修饰名词的复数形式，所以改为words。
49.written 解析：“ Except for these differences in spelling, __49_ (write) English is more or ?less the same in both British and American English.” 固定表达“written English”书面英语。
50.difficulty 解析：“most of the time people from the ?western countries do not have any ___50___ (difficult) in understanding each other.”宾语不完整，此处应填入名词difficulty。
