On Saturday 24 August 1918, it was raining cats and dgs and thundering ver a city called Sunderland n the nrtheast cast f England. The strm lasted fr nly abut ten minutes. Peple were surprised t see that it was nt just rainwater falling frm the sky. There were fish falling dwn, t! Peple came ut t find ut what was happening. They culd nt believe their wn eyes. There were thusands f fish - sand eels- lying n the grund. They were abut seven centimeters lng, and all were frzen slid.
Sand eels swim tgether in large grups, ften in sandy water, and are ften fund in large numbers in the Nrth Sea, which reaches ut t the east f Sunderland. Hw was it pssible fr these sand eels t fall frm the sky and land n Sunderland?
Scientists believed the heavy thunderstrm that afternn may have caused a watersput. Watersputs can be frmed when strng winds mve quickly in a circle ver water. They are s pwerful; anything less than ne meter in length can be taken int them and frced int the cluds. The cluds carry whatever has been taken int them fr lng distances—smetimes ver 150 kilmeters. It's very cld up there and everything sn freezes slid.
Fr hundreds f years there have been reprts f small animals being taken int the sky thrugh watersputs. In 2009, dead tadples rained dwn n the city f Nana in Japan. In 2012, fifty kils f prawns fell frm the sky ver Sri Lanka. In 2017, fish fell n the castal city f Tampic In Mexic.
It must be a very strange experience t see fish raining dwn n yu. It wuld prbably hurt if ne fell n yur head! With climate change, glbal warming and many reprts f terrible natural disasters, will the time ever cme when it may really begin t rain cats and dgs?

32．答案：prbably；why；fr；themselves；the；learning；wh/that；successful；t teach；students
解析：①考查词性转换。句意：你也许会说他们要去学习语言、历史、科学和一些其他的知识。修饰动词say应该用副词。故填prbably。
②考查宾语从句。句意：那的确是对的，但你知道他们为什么要学这些东西吗？本句中挖空处引导宾语从句，并在句中充当原因状语。故填why。
③考查介词。句意：我们送孩子上学让他们为未来做好准备……。prepare sb. fr sth.意为“让某人为某事做好准备”。故填fr。
④考查反身代词。句意：……当他们长大并不得不为自己工作的时候。fr neself意为“替自己，为了自己”。故填themselves。
⑤考查定冠词。句意：但那是他们上学的唯一理由吗？“nly reasn”后面由定语从句“why they g t schl”修饰，表示特指，因此前面应该用定冠词修饰。故填the。
⑥考查非谓语动词。句意：教育不仅仅是学习事实。结合句意并分析句子结构可知，than是介词，因此后面应该用动名词作宾语。故填learning。
⑦考查定语从句。句意：真正知道如何学习的人总会成功的……。在这个句子中，先行词是a man，挖空处所填的关系代词指代先行词，引导定语从句并在从句中作主语。故填wh/that。
⑧考查词性转换。句意：真正知道如何学习的人总会成功的……。结合句意并分析句子结构可知，挖空处应该用形容词作表语，表示“成功的”。故填successful。
⑨考查固定搭配。句意：……他还能够教会他人如何用最好的方法做这件事情。be able t d sth.意为“能够做某事”。故填t teach。
⑩考查名词单复数。句意：所以学校的目的不是教语言、历史、科学等，而是教学生学习的方法。根据常识可知，此处应该用student的复数形式作teach的宾语，表示泛指。故填students。
