For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in (21) _60s. When it was her turn to pay, the cashier greeted her by name and asked her how she was doing. The woman looked down,(22) _(shake) her head and said:“Not so good. My husband just lost job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, I dont know how Im going to get through the holidays.”Then she gave the cashier food stamps.My heat ached. I wanted to help but didnt know how. (23)_ I offer to pay for her groceries or ask for her husbands resume?As i walked into the parking lot, I saw the woman (24)_ (return) her shopping cart. I remembered something in my purse (25)_ I thought could help her. It wasnt a handful of cash or an offer of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life better.My heart pounded as I approached the woman.“Excuse me,” I said, my voice trembling a bit. “I couldnt help overhearing what you said to the cashier. It sounds like youre going through a really hard time right now. Im so sorry. Id like to give you something.”I handed her the small card from my purse.When the woman read the cards only two words, she began to cry. And through her tears, she said: “You have no idea (26) _ this means to me.”I was a little startled by her reply. (27)_ (not do) anything like this before, I didnt know what kind of reaction I might receive. All left for me (28)_(say) was: “ Oh, Would it be OK to give you a hug?”(29) _ we embraced, I walked back to my car - and began to cry, too.The words on the card?“You Matter.”A few weeks earlier, a colleague gave me a similar card (30) _encouragement for a project I was working on. When I read the card, I felt a warm glow spread inside of me. Deeply touched, I came home and ordered my own box of You Matter card and started sharing them.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. technology B. contemporary C. stretched D. hidden E. recognized F. discovery G. updated H. extensive I. countless J. estimated K. definitionMost of us learn at primary school that there are seven continents, but the next generation of kids may be adding one more to that list.According to a recent paper published in the geological society of American journal by a group of researchers, “Zealandiais a new continent thats 31 beneath the ocean. Zealandia is 32 to be five million sq km. Most of this massive area is covered by water, but its highest mountains already have their own name: New Zealand.The small country is the only part of new Zealandia that isnt under water, but the papers authors want the huge landmass to be 33 worldwide as its own continent.The scientific value of classifying Zealandia as a continent is much more than just an extra name on a list, the researchers wrote in their paper. Scientists discovered Zealandia all the way back in 1995, then started 34 research on the area using underwater and satellite mapping 35 . After completing their work, they were finally able to write a report suggesting that Zealandia be named a continent. But who decided on what is a continent and what isnt? There is ,in fact, no official organization that does some countries teach that there are six or even five continents. This changes depending on where in the world the school is. Due to their 36 as a continuous expanse of land, some classify Europe and Asia as the same continent-known as Eurasia. Schools in Russia and parts of Eastern Europe teach this. And to making things even more confusing, France and Greece, as well as some other countries, classify North America and South American as simply America. This argument over how land is defined has even 37 into outer space. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) decided that Pluto was no longer a planet ,met the requirements needed to be called a planet ,76 years after its 38 in 1930, experts argued that it no longer met the requirements needed to called a planet alongside the eight others in our solar system. It was therefore renamed a “dwarf planet(矮行星)”,meaning that 39 books, models and museum exhibits all over world had to be 40 . But will be the world take the same notice of new Zealandia? The best way to tell is to keep an eye on our textbooks.III .Reading ComprehensionSection A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked a b and c fill in each blanks with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Good news for awkward teenagers around the world. As time goes by, you could 41 up like a completely different person.This comes from the longest running personality study ever 42 by scientists. According to researchers from the University of Edinburgh in the U.K, our personality changes so much from youth to old age that most peoples personalities in older age are barely 43 compared to their younger selves.The researchers analyzed results from a study in 1947, which gathered 1,208 teenagers in Scotland aged 14 and asked their teachers to 44 . Their personalities based on six traits(特征)Now more than six decades later, the University of Edinburgh team has managed to contact 635 of the 45 students, and 174 agreed to have their personalities tested once more.At an average age of 76.7 years old, the group were asked to 46 themselves on the same six personality traits, then pick a close friend or family member to do the same.By 47 the then-and-now test results, the researchers found that there is hardly a relationship between traits people had asteenagers and those in their older years.It was “as if the second tests had been given to 48 people,” the studys researchers wrote in their report, which was published in journal Psychology and Aging.The results were a surprise because research in the past found personality 49 in people tested from childhood to middle-age, and from middle-age to older age.As the team explained, our personality appears stable over short intervals- 50 so throughout adulthood. 51 , the longer the intervals between two tests of personality, the _52 the relationship between the two tends to be. It is clear that more studies are needed to find out what is going on here. but it could be the first 53 that is not just our cells that are being 54 throughout life-the way we think ,feel and behave might not be as 55 as we once thought. 41.
