八、综合填空（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）
       根据短文内容及首字母提示，填所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。
       In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play many different k___81____ of music—everything from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so p   82    ? Is it their music? Their looks? Yes, it's both of the things, but it’s a   83    something else: they're elephants.
       These musical elephants started at the TECC（泰国大象保护中心）in Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and love them. And, like many zoos a   84    the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint.
       Richard Lair w   85    for the TECC. He loves his job there and knows a lot about elephants. He says some of the animals' paintings are very good. But, in fact, elephants h   86    better than they see. And so he had an idea: if elephants are s   87    and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra. During a performance（表演）, the elephants play a number of i   88    , including the drums and the xylophone（木琴）.
       But can elephants really make music properly? Yes, says Lair. They are very creative. Human e   89    the animals to play, but the elephants make their own songs; they don't just copy their trainers o   90    other people. There are now CDs of the group’s music which make money for the TECC. And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.

81.kinds 后面出现的everything from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven可以理解是各种各样的音乐，填 “different kinds of ” 各种各样的
82.popular 根据前一句“Both children and adults love this group. ”无论小孩还是成年人都喜欢说明它们非常受欢迎，所以填写 “ popular” 受欢迎的
83.also根据句意“Yes, it’s both of the things, but it’s a   83    something else”是因为上述两个原因，但是还有其他的一些东西，所以填写“ also ”也。
84.around 根据句意，“像全世界许多动物园”，需要填写我们学过的固定搭配“全世界”“around the world”
85.works 分析句子结构本句中缺少谓语动词，再根据下句话“He loves his job.”可以推测出句意他为TECC工作，填写词组 “work for” 为。。。工作
86.hear 根据下一句 “they have good hearing, maybe they can play music” 说明大象的听力比视力要好，所以填 “hear” 听
87.smart 同样根据87题所在的这句话，他们听力非常好，说明大象们很聪明。而且分析句子结构发现本句缺少一个形容词作表语的成分，所以填 “ smart ” 聪明的；机智的
88.instruments 根据后半句 “including the drums and the xylophone（木琴）.” 包括鼓和木琴，说明包括了很多种“乐器”，所以填写对应的英文 “ instruments ”
89.encourage 根据上下文Lair所说的话，大象们很有创造力，而且大象会创作自己的曲子，所以对于人类来说，是要鼓励大象们去演奏，填写对应的英文 “ encourage somebody to do something” 鼓励某人做某事。
90.or 根据本空前后两者关系 “their trainers o   90    other people” 他们不是简单复制或模仿他们的训练师或者其他人，所以根据句意推断出填写连词or。
