Passage 1
For many people in the West, March 13 will be scary. Millions of people will refuse 61 (get) out of bed all day! What makes this day so 62 (terrify)?
Being nervous 63 Friday the 13th is a superstition（迷信） . The number 13 is considered unlucky in many Western countries. Many buildings don’ t have a 13th floor. This is because Judas, the man who 64 (betray) Jesus, was the 13th guest at Jesus’last meal. Jesus was crucified（钉死在十字架上）on a Friday, 65 (make) the combination of“Friday”and“13” 66 (particular) unlucky.
In addition to the number 13, there are other superstitions in Western culture. For example, people think 67 is unlucky to walk under ladders. 68 a black cat passes in front of you, it is also thought to mean that bad luck is coming.
So 69 there anything you can do to bring good luck in the West? Well, four-leaf clovers, horseshoes facing up and even rabbit 70 (foot) are said to bring good luck.
Passage 2
Daniel Davila can often
41
(see) walking around the city of San Francisco. Sometimes people are surprised to see him walking
42 any shoes or socks, 43
Daniel doesn’t mind at all. He likes to walk barefoot, and so
44
740 other members of Dirty Sole Society, the club that Daniel started years ago. Daniel’s idea for this is to encourage others to live 45 (free) —free of shoes.
According to Daniel, the barefoot life has many advantages. 46 most important is simply that it feels good. He also says that 47
( walk) barefoot allows you to experience the world directly by touching it with your feet. In addition, the feet do not smell so much
48
they stay dry, making it hard for bacteria to grow. And of course, walking barefoot keeps your feet 49
good shape, so it’s actually 50 (healthy) than wearing shoes.
Passage 3
When I was thirteen, my parents and I visited an eye doctor. After the examination, __61__ doctor said with coldness that I had an eye disease. I had inherited it, __62__my brother’s eyes seemed to be fine.
Fifteen years after that, my father began to lose __63__sight and I did, too. I fixed all my attention __64__the effects of my own darkness. My world seemed __65__(break) down and it destroyed all my dreams.
__66__, I learnt new things from my father. Twenty years later, I look back at what he has given me. He taught me the determination to move forward __67__ facing difficulties. His journey taught me valuable lessons for my own path in the darkness. He had held onto his faith and moved from his comfortable hometown to this unknown land.
I did the same as I stepped into the strange _68__(sight) world. Later I gained confidence and learned the language of thankfulness. With great appreciation for my father’s example, I learned the powerful combination of faith and insistence and __69__(perform) my own different roles. Luckily, __70__ I inherited from my father helped me see my life differently.

Passage 5
The word “yoga” has many meanings.
61
can mean “balance”, “unity”, or “joining”. Broadly speaking, yoga is a
62
(combine) of mental and physical practices. When people first
63
(begin) to practice yoga is unclear,
64
the concept of yoga comes from the area of India and Pakistan and may be 5,000 years old.
The most important part of yoga is to breathe slowly and deeply. Yoga practice starts with the correct breath. Later, people
65
(practice) yoga may move on to doing poses (姿势).
The poses are designed to create strength and flexibility in the body. As you become more used
66
yoga, you can do more challenging poses. Many people do yoga
67
(simple) for exercise. Yoga does help people become
68
(health). It is
69
good idea never to compete but to do your best and improve at your own rate.
During a yoga practice, your mind is
70
(suppose) to be clear and empty. You think about nothing but the pose. In this way, yoga helps reduce mental stress.
Passage 6
Dad: (coming into the living room) Come on, are you ready? We have to go now.
Alice: Just a minute. So where are we going today, daddy?
Dad: It is a secret. You will
61
(get) a surprise when you get there later.
Alice: It
62
be the piano school. Mum told me I would begin learning to play the piano this weekend. But I feel tired of having endless
63
(class) all day.
Dad: Well, we will not learn anything today and I promise you it is a place
64
you would like to visit.
Alice: Great! Then which dress do you think I should wear? How about the pink one
65
a Teddy Bear on it.
Dad:
It looks nice .
66
, it may rain today according to the weather forecast. So I advise you
67
(put) on the green coat and take
68
umbrella . Oh my God,
it is 10 o`clock now ,we`d better start because some animals have a sleep at noon .
Alice: I got
69
. We will go to the zoo! How exciting! I can`t wait to see the lovely pandas and monkeys. In fact , I would have got ready if you had told me about it 70
.(early)
Dad: My clever girl, I just want to give you a surprise. We will enjoy ourselves at the weekend. Let`s go!
Passage 7
People can often see a talking parrot on a TV show, in a movie, or even in someone’s home. The parrot has learned
61
(copy) sounds that people make. Dolphins, bats, and some apes also copy sounds. Now we can add elephants
62
this list of copycats (盲目的模仿者).
Dr. Joyce Poole is a zoologist,
63
studies the sounds of elephants. While she was in Kenya, she would hear strange noises
64
(make) by Mlaika after sunset. Mlaika was
65
8-year-old African elephant
66
it lived near a highway.
Dr. Poole says that she couldn’t tell the difference between Mlaika’s call and the
67
(distance) truck noise. Why did
68
copy the sounds of the trucks driving by? Animals that are able to copy sounds may enjoy
69
(practice) new sounds. When they are kept outside of their natural environment, they may copy unusual sounds.
So far Dr. Poole
70
(spend) 18 years with two female Asian elephants. Asian elephants make sounds like birds to talk with one another.
Parrots, dolphins, humans, and elephants show that being a copycat is one way that animals and people make new friends and keep old ones.
