Choose the words to complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词完成短文） Most films set in space are usually horror films and include aliens in their story. Gravity（地心引力）is different and focuses on the human drama _75_. The films special effects are so amazing that it is easy to believe that Gravity really was filmed in space. It took more than three years for a British team to create all of these effects. We first meet the _76_ outside of their spaceship on a spacewalk. Dr Stone, a strong-minded mother whose daughter died in an accident, is on her first journey into space and is joined by Matt Kowalski, an experienced astronaut.

The astronauts are soon _77_ that pieces of a damaged satellite are flying in their direction. Their spaceship is soon hit and destroyed. Dr Stone is knocked into space.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）Theres no place like home Some people dream of having a homejust like the ones in decorating magazines. That sort of beautifully stylish home may be n_81_, but for a truly special place to live, why not choose a home unlike any other in the neighbourhood? The unique（独一无二的）houses on these pages challenge people to reconsider what a home is s_82_ to look like. Environmentally friendly homes are getting a lot of a_83_ these days. Earthships, for example, are unusual homes made from materials like mud, straw and reused wood. The designers of earthships combine these natural materials with recycled i_84_, such as bottles, cans and old tyres. These homes show their belief that, when it comes to saving the environment,if you arent part of the solution, youre part of the problem. Additionally many of these homes use wind or solar power. They are designed to collect and recycle water, and the people who live in them often add a greenhouse in which to grow food. As a result, if you live in an earthship, your monthly living costs will d_85_ to almost zero. For people who want to try one out, the Phoenix Earthship in the US is available as holiday accommodation（住宿）.

One thing is sure: people living in homes that look as s_87_ as these never have to give anyone their address. They can just say,Look for the weird house. You will know it when you see it.D.

These tiny robots move from cell（细胞）to cell in the patients body, destroying the cancer.
