（12）考查形容词。句意：有时，他们不开心甚至感觉到很生气。happy开心的；unhappy不开心的；convenient方便的；helpful有用的。根据句中even feel angry（甚至愤怒。）可知，空处也应该和angry是一类表示情绪不好的词。故选B。

（14）考查形容词。句意：古时候，人们相信老师必须很严格，并且有权惩罚学生。strict严格的；kind友好的；funny有趣的；humorous幽默的。根据空后had the right to punish the students.（有权惩罚学生。）可知，以前的老师严厉才会惩罚学生。故选A。

（17）考查名词。句意：遵守规定也能在教室里帮助学生。rules规定；excuses理由；examples例子；facts事实。由本段第一句In fact，following school rules can be very important.（事实上，遵守校规是非常重要的。）可知，本段主要讲遵守校规的重要性。遵守校规能帮助孩子。故选A。
（18）考查动词。句意：上课时，在学生讲话前，老师可能让学生举手。ask问，让；answer回答；create创造；support支持。由下句"If someone speaks out of turn，other students might not be able to hear the teacher..."如果有人不按顺序讲话，其他的学生可能听不清老师讲的。可知，老师需要发出指令后，让他们举手才能讲话。故选A。
（19）考查副词。句意：如果有人不按顺序讲话，其他的学生可能听不清老师讲的内容。clearly清晰地；politely有礼貌地；quietly安静地；quickly快速地。根据句中If someone speaks out of turn，other students might not be able to hear the teacher ... （如果有人说话不顺，其他学生可能听......老师的话。）可知，学生不按顺序讲话，自然会听不清老师说的。故填A。
（20）考查连词。句意：如果没有规则，生活将没有意义，也会处于无序中。But但是；If如果；Because因为；Though虽然。根据...there are no rules，life will be meaningless and in disorder.（......没有规则，生活将没有意义，也会处于无序中。）可知，前半句是条件，后半句是在条件下产生的结果。需用If"如果"来引导一个条件状语从句。故选B。

（10分）A new machine has been produced in Watergen in Israel.The machine is called GENNY which can create clean water out of air.It is small enough to be used in a home or an office，but can create up to 30 liters of water a day.
