　　Passage 1

　　New books and old ones arrived at the British Museum a hundred years ago, and more people

　　came

　　61

　　(read) them. The old reading rooms were

　　62

　　(crowd). The air was bad and readers got terrible headaches. The librarian, Panizzi, wanted poor students, as

　　63

　　as rich men, to be able to learn. He got a free copy of every new book for the British Museum. Soon, there were three rows

　　64

　　books on every shelf and hundreds of books on the floor. Something cheerful happened. Panizzi

　　65

　　(he) designed the famous round Reading Room, with a beautiful high roof and forty kilometers of

　　66

　　(bookshelf). Some of the equipment

　　was unusual. Cool air came up through small holes in the tables. Hot air in tubes under the floor kept readers’ feet warm. When the new Reading Room opened, there was a party with drinks

　　67

　　a large breakfast on the desks. You can imagine

　　68

　　wonderful the new Reading Room is! Since then, many famous men

　　69

　　(write) there. And the readers can enjoy all kinds of books

　　70

　　( comfortable) in the new Reading Room.

　　Passage 2

　　By “luxury(奢侈品)”, we mean "a pleasant and often expensive thing that is not necessary". From a historical point of view, things which were a luxury when they first came into being all became necessities later.

　　Anything, no matter

　　61

　　luxurious it is, will become a necessity, when it is widely used. This is true of many of the present luxuries, among which mobile phones, cars, computers and many other things

　　62

　　(include). It is known to all that the purpose of the development of science is

　　63

　　(make) things easy for the mankind, not for only

　　64

　　small number of people.

　　65

　　, the first thing to do after a new invention occurs is to spread it so as to benefit

　　66

　　many people as possible. In the course of the spread, the luxury becomes decreasingly luxurious until

　　67

　　the end it becomes a necessity. This is an objective law, and

　　68

　　can be an exception.

　　With the quick

　　69

　　(develop) of science and technology, the process for many things to become a necessity from a luxury will be greatly shortened. Anything that can be imagined will be invented and in no time becomes a necessity

　　70

　　(access) to ordinary people.

　　Passage 3

　　Blood is important to support our lives. But for now, the only way we can get more of it is through donation. And donated blood has its own problems. First of all, certain blood types are extremely rare. Type O negative blood (O-), for example, only

　　61

　　(exist) in 7 percent of people, according to Sunday Times. There are fewer

　　62

　　(donate) and therefore there isn’t enough of this type of blood for everybody who needs it. In addition, donated blood comes from various people, which means that it has to

　　63

　　(examine) carefully for diseases such as HIV to make sure that it’s safe for transfusion(输血).

　　This is _64__ scientists all over the world have been trying to make blood in labs. And now, someone finally succeeded—Marc Turner at the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service has produced blood fit for transfusion, reported Forbes. Different from many __65__ scientists, who have tried to make blood by mixing up different ingredients together, Turner chose to grow blood

　　66

　　(direct) from human stem cells. He developed

　　67

　　special technique to create a chemical environment similar to that in our bone marrow (骨髓). This environment encourages stem cells to develop fully

　　68

　　red blood cell.

　　According to Turner, his artificial blood is

　　69

　　(likely) to contain disease viruses or produce side effects. And the best part is that

　　70

　　he managed to produce was type O- blood. Not only is it a rare blood type, it’s also a universal type, which means it can be transfused into any patient.

　　Passage 4

　　A recent study suggested that taking a bottle of water into the exam hall could help students improve their grades.

　　According to the study those who brought drinks,

　　61

　　(especial) water, with them when sitting their exams performed up to 10 per cent better than those who did not.

　　Comparing their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades, scientists then found that all those who

　　62

　　(bring) drinks with them got better grades

　　63

　　between 2 and 10 percent.

　　It is unclear

　　64

　　drinking water improves exam results. But scientists say having enough water in our bodies and not feeling thirsty could have a

　　65

　　（help）effect on our brains. Drinking water may also cut

　　66

　　on anxiety,

　　67

　　has a bad effect on exam performances.

　　Whatever the explanation, it is obvious that students should try hard to keep enough water in their bodies during exams.

　　So next time,

　　68

　　you are going to have a big exam, try

　　69

　　(bring) a bottle of water with you. Who knows — it

　　70

　　help you pass the exam!

　　Passage 5

　　The Unexpected Kindness Of A Stranger

　　Yesterday, as I approached the front door of our public library, a white-haired gentleman stepped back to hold the door for me. You see, I have to go everywhere these days with a walker, and folks are 61. __________ (constant) holding or opening doors for me, so this was not unusual.

　　However, I told the gentleman that the door had 62.________ automatic opener, and he did not need to stay to hold it open. He said “Here I thought I would have an opportunity to be 63._________ (help).”

　　At that, I backed up, let the door close, and allowed him to reopen the door, not 64._________ (use) the automatic control this time. His comment then was “Well, now I feel like that I 65._________ (accomplish) something helpful and worthwhile today.”

　　We never know 66._________ someone else is feeling. We seniors seem to feel we can take care of 67._________ at all times. That random act of kindness brightened not only my day, but 68._________ my joy and delight, also the day of that white-haired senior citizen. I felt a glow for the rest of the day, and, hopefully, so did he!

　　So, gentle readers, never hesitate 69._________ (offer) kindness. You may find to your 70._________ (amaze) that there is more kindness in your community than you ever believe possible.

　　Passage 6

　　Two little children were sitting by the fire one cold winter’s night. Suddenly, they heard a knock at the door. “Who can it be?” they wondered. One ran

　　41

　　(curious) to open it. There, outside in the cold and the darkness, stood a child

　　42

　　no shoes on his feet and dressed in old thin garments. He was trembling with cold,

　　43

　　he asked if he was allowed to come in and warm himself.

　　“Yes, come,” cried both the children. They drew the little stranger to their warm seat,

　　44

　　(share) their supper with him, and gave him their bed, and they slept on a hard bench.

　　On the night, they

　　45

　　(awake) by sweet music,

　　46

　　was played by a band of children in shining garments. Suddenly the stranger child stood in front of

　　47

　　: no longer cold and ragged, but dressed in silvery light. He said, “I am the Christ Child,

　　48

　　(wander) through the world to bring peace and

　　49

　　(happy) to good children as you. As you have helped me so much, this tree will give rich fruit to you every year.”

　　When he was saying that, he broke

　　50

　　branch from the tree that grew near the door, planted it in the ground and disappeared. But the branch grew into a great tree, and every year it bore wonderful golden fruit for the kind children.
