A rare experience
Imagine the situation. You’re walking down the crowded high street and s__81__ a complete stranger stops you and says, “Hi! You were on the beach in the south of Spain six years ago. How are you doing ” This stranger isn’t necessarily m__82__.He or she might be a “super---recogniser”. These are people who have the unusual ability to recognise people they have seen only once -- a long time ago, maybe in a crowed.
Whatever the differences in looks
It doesn’t matter what the person looks like now. People change, get different hair styles, dye their hair or go grey. Wrinkles, new glasses and make ups give them new a__83__, but the “super - recognisers” can still recognise them.
An inborn skill
Although scientists have known for a long time that about 2% of people suffer from face - blindness, which means that they have huge problems recognising faces, they are only new realising that some people are the exact o__84__.Tests have shown that a “super - recogniser” can identify people that they only saw for a brief moment -- and this is not an ability that we can d__85__, it’s something we are born with.
A great h__86__
The police are starting to use “super - recognisers” to spot criminal faces in videos of crowds. They look for people with a specific build and facial features like beards and moustaches but they can even recognise quite o__87__ people, with no noticeable features at all. As well as surprising our holidaymaker in Spain six years later, this ability can be used for a very practical purpose indeed.

At Seven Oaks Middle School, Daniela Carrera was searching for a club. There was a dance club, a choir, an exercise club, and an action club that found creative ways to raise money for other people. Daniela was thinking about j__81__ the dance club because dancing was her favourite.
Then Daniela’s friend Ciara told her about the action club’s new p__82__. At first, Daniela was puzzled. “Why would people in a nursing home want a video-game console（平台） ” she asked Ciara.
“This would be a s__83__ kind of console that plays fitness games. The games help people who need to exercise but weren’t able to get to a gym or exercise a__84__ out of their rooms. Besides, everybody loves video games, don’t they ” Ciara replied.
“Not my great-grandmother,” Daniela said, laughing. But she agreed to go to the club meeting the next day.
At the meeting, Mr. Washington, the club’s manager, d__85__ to Daniela and the others how fitness video games helped encourage people to move. He explained how the consoles could help distract（使分心）people who s___86___ from serious pains. That was all Daniela needed to hear.
“How can I help ” She asked as she signed up for the club.

“Great! Let’s get started. I’m motivated to sell the tickets immediately!” said Daniela.

More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, teaching tools like iPads are used in a lot of courses which i 81 language, history and science.
Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos. students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.
The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it. so they can save time for doing other things. Other students. however. might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially a great h 82 to the students who are learning a language at different paces.
The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn(like listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.
There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are s 83 in their iPads and are easy to find. Some students spend more time studying now. 'I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait till I get home.' a student explained.
But many adults c 84 that technologies like iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad. he will have f 85 chances to have face-to-face communication with others.
However. technologies are a 86 _ a part of most students' day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make c__ 87 with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.

A local primary school is considering using tablet computers（平板电脑）in all classrooms from next year. The following text has been written by a teacher at the school.
Should we use tablet computers in the classroom
The use of tablet computers（or simply“tablets”）in the classroom has become an increasingly popular choice in many primary schools across the country, including many in our local area. It is important that we consider this opportunity, but we must also be a ___81___ of the problems.
On one hand, there are many a ___82___ to use tablets in the classroom.
Firstly, tablets could improve productivity（效率）during the school day. Because of their familiarity with computers and mobile phones, many of our students can type faster than they can write by hand. T___83___, using tablets in the classroom could reduce the time it takes for them to complete tasks. Additionally, there are endless tablet functions（功能）which could provide interesting teaching a ___84___. For example, we could play computer games to teach Maths, or make simple flashes to show how magnets behave. Also, students could take photos outdoors and then use them for writing tasks.
However, we must also consider the possible problems with introducing tablets to our classrooms. Some students may play with the tablets instead of f___85___ on their work. Another problem is that, while many students can use tablets already, many of our teachers are not good at it and would need to be trained. We may also have problems with the tablets breaking, which would be very expensive to r___86___. This is in addition to the cost of buying the tablets in the first place.
All in all, even though using tablets in the classroom may have many problems, it seems that it would be a wonderful opportunity for students and teachers at our school. There are a lot of costs indeed, but it would c___87___ prove to be a worthwhile investment（物有所值的投资）.

We all remember seeing hitchhikers(搭便车者). They stood by the side of the road, thumb sticking out, waiting for a lift. But hitchhiking is getting rare nowadays. What killed it S 81 is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about hitchhiking killers and real-life crimes have stopped many drivers from picking up hitchhikers. No single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester. This fact show people’s fear: a large, strangely dressed man is though to be a d 82 person.
But the reason my be morecomplex(复杂的): hitchhiking happens where people don’t have cars and transport services are not a 83 . Plenty people still hitchhike in some countries. Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the U.K. makes the few hitchhiking people look strange. Why can’t these people a 84 cars Why can’t they take the bus or the train
Three-quarters of the UK population have cars; many of those that have no cars are quite old. So the potential(潜在的) hitchhiking population is small. Yet on my way to Manchester, I got a lift from several people. My e 85 proves that it’s still possible to hitchhike. Those who picked me up c 86 of a lawyer, a retired doctor, a tank commander, a worker, a man who lives in a lonely farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains. Most people just wanted to do someone a favour; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn’t help stopping.
The future of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing which is organized over the Internet. But for now, you can still stick your thumb out (a 87 , I didn’t do much of that. I preferred to hold up the sign of the place I wanted to go) and people --- wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people --- will stop.
In the UK, with its cheap buses and reasonable railway service, I don’t think I’ll form a habit of hitchhiking.

One day I was driven by a rain-storm to take shelter in a little hut by the road-side, which was used by a shoe-maker as his workshop to fix shoes. The man and his son were busy with their
work; and after saying, "Good day," we began to talk together.
Before I had been with them long, the old man sent his son out to get something that he needed for his repair. His son was only one kilometre away, but it was too long for the h___81___ shoe-maker to be free. He at last took up a piece of leather and began to work on it, saying, "You know, sir, it will never do to waste time."
As soon as the rain was over, I went on my way home, thinking over what I had heard, "It will never do to waste time." Some people are always lazy, others are lazy only now and then. I was one of the second ones. I couldn't f ___82___ my attention all the time. So the old man's words came home with me and I began to feel how w___83___it was to waste so much of my life in laziness.
I had often heard and read that laziness was great h ___84___; but now I begin to see that it causes far more disadvantages than people are aware of. They don't know the wasted time never
goes back.
When a man is busy, he is said to be "occupied." What does that mean It means that a man at work is like a house with people living in it. When our minds are full of our work, there is no s___85___ for anything else. Laziness, on the other hand, is emptiness; and when the mind is empty, then the doors are thrown open, and bad thoughts come in to influence your pure heart. When it once gets hold of a man, the habit of laziness isn't e___86___ got rid of.
I have made up my mind to follow the shoe-maker's rule for the rest of my life. Although it was very hard at first, I stick to it because I learn to r___87___ myself not to waste time. Above all, I decide that my mind should never be empty.

In late January, returning home from a day in town, my husband and I were greeted by a couple of birds sitting on a hanging basket in the garden. It seemed that they were planning to build a nest.
The next morning, we came home to find a construction had started on the hanging basket, right in front of our front door. We didn’t have the heart to m 81 it, so the ‘building’ went ahead, with the pair of birds flying in with building materials. They seemed to be in a hurry to finish this nest.
Finally, after a week, a beautiful nest was c 82 . It was woven (编织) with various materials, and lined with hair and wool.
The next day an egg appeared in their nest, followed by a 83 two during the week. Two weeks went by quickly and three baby chicks were hatched (孵出). The tireless task began for the parents to find f 84 to bring back to their babies. In and out both of them would fly during the day to feed their family. It was amazing how q 85 the babies were growing.
One night I approached the nest quietly and took a look into their nest. How lovely to see three little heads and bodies lying orderly side-by-side. They were having a sound sleep with their hearts beating—their little bodies rising and f 86 with each breath. So beautiful, I would have liked to put a kiss on each tiny head but dared not. They were so peaceful with life, and we were so l 87 to be able to share their special moment.

We often think it certain that our parents are always there for us, but this is not true for “left-behind” children. They h 81 ever see their parents because their parents work in cities, leaving them behind in the countryside to be cared for by their grandparents.
As in August, China had 6.97 million left-behind children, about one-third of all rural children. With Spring Festival arriving, the government is calling on parents working outside to r 82 home and celebrate the new year with their kids. In fact, children living without their parents can face many problems, such as their e 83 , safety and mental (心理的) health. For example, their grandparents may not be able to help them with their homework or raise them properly. This can cause children to have an u 84 feeling, according to Workers’ Daily.
The government has taken some action to care for and p 85 left-behind children, such as sending social workers to rural areas. They will r 86 to the government if they find that any left-behind child is suffering from abuse (虐待), China Daily noted.
But the best solution is to bring parents and children back t 87 . The government has encouraged those workers to go back to their rural hometowns to look for work and business opportunities. Another solution is to make it easier for rural children to attend schools in the cities.

Many people think of bully (欺凌) as one child pushing or hitting another. However, bullying is not only p 81 . Words also hurt people badly.

Similarly, in places where bullying happens, stay close to a friend b 85 bullies often aim at people who are isolated (孤立的). When you’re being bullied, walk away calmly. Leaving will keep you safe, and if you don’t seem frightened or upset, the bully may feel bored and l 86 interest in you.
Finally, remember that what is happening is not your m 87 . Bullies are responsible for their actions and words. Make sure your life will not be affected by their words and action. And when you meet others who are weaker than you, remember that they are valuable, too.

A rare experience
Imagine the situation. You’re walking down the crowded high street and s__81__ a complete stranger stops you and says, “Hi! You were on the beach in the south of Spain six years ago. How are you doing ” This stranger isn’t necessarily m__82__.He or she might be a “super---recogniser”. These are people who have the unusual ability to recognise people they have seen only once -- a long time ago, maybe in a crowed.
Whatever the differences in looks
It doesn’t matter what the person looks like now. People change, get different hair styles, dye their hair or go grey. Wrinkles, new glasses and make ups give them new a__83__, but the “super - recognisers” can still recognise them.
An inborn skill
Although scientists have known for a long time that about 2% of people suffer from face - blindness, which means that they have huge problems recognising faces, they are only new realising that some people are the exact o__84__.Tests have shown that a “super - recogniser” can identify people that they only saw for a brief moment -- and this is not an ability that we can d__85__, it’s something we are born with.
A great h__86__
The police are starting to use “super - recognisers” to spot criminal faces in videos of crowds. They look for people with a specific build and facial features like beards and moustaches but they can even recognise quite o__87__ people, with no noticeable features at all. As well as surprising our holidaymaker in Spain six years later, this ability can be used for a very practical purpose indeed.
1. s_______________ 2. m_______________ 3. a_______________ 4. o_______________
5. d_______________ 6. h_______________ 7. o_______________
解析：
81.“and”分别叙述了一件事情发生的场景和事情本身，缺词是记叙事情本身的第一个词,从其后为数不多却字字强调的措辞:stop,stranger,complete中不难看出作者的用意：突出事情发生的意外，suddenly无疑是最理想选择。
82. mad
解析：观察结构，在系动词之后，缺词很可能是形容词；分析语意，走在街上，突然一位陌生人说六年前在西班牙南部海滩见过你，这样的经历不能不说是奇遇了，对那位stranger,是无法不让人感觉mad的。
83. appearance(s)
解析:难度较低,本段第一句告知本段主题:what the person looks like,第二句举出数个改变“外观”的实例;new之后的缺词已不再神秘:appearance。
84. opposite
解析：分析本句的内在逻辑，although让步状语从句告知约2%的人认脸有困难，缺词所在的主句却说：科学家如今认识到某些人却( )，不难想象，这些被科学家关注到的某些人是完全不同于2%认脸困难的人的，与……相反/对：opposite。
85. develop
解析:段落最后一句,缺词的语意在后一句得到诠释:something we are born with(我们与生俱来的),“与生俱来”就是人们无法培养的(not an ability that we can devel-op)。
86. help
解析:缺词在分标题内,根据段落内容,尤其最后一句:this ability can be used for a ver-y practical purpose indeed.知道,这种(识别面相的)能力可以派实际用场。换言之，该能力可以帮助(help)人们。
87. ordinary
解析:本句前半部分识别的对象是people with a specific build and facial feature,but之后识别的对象便不难猜出了，可以锁定，与specific含义相反且以“o”开头的形容词是:ordinary。

Taking Action
At Seven Oaks Middle School, Daniela Carrera was searching for a club. There was a dance club, a choir, an exercise club, and an action club that found creative ways to raise money for other people. Daniela was thinking about j__81__ the dance club because dancing was her favourite.
Then Daniela’s friend Ciara told her about the action club’s new p__82__. At first, Daniela was puzzled. “Why would people in a nursing home want a video-game console（平台） ” she asked Ciara.
“This would be a s__83__ kind of console that plays fitness games. The games help people who need to exercise but weren’t able to get to a gym or exercise a__84__ out of their rooms. Besides, everybody loves video games, don’t they ” Ciara replied.
“Not my great-grandmother,” Daniela said, laughing. But she agreed to go to the club meeting the next day.
At the meeting, Mr. Washington, the club’s manager, d__85__ to Daniela and the others how fitness video games helped encourage people to move. He explained how the consoles could help distract（使分心）people who s___86___ from serious pains. That was all Daniela needed to hear.
“How can I help ” She asked as she signed up for the club.
“We’re selling raffle（抽奖增卖）tickets. With the money we get, we’ll buy two fitness consoles. We’ll give one to the w__87__ of the raffle. We’ll give the other console to the nursing home,” explained Mr. Washington.
“Great! Let’s get started. I’m motivated to sell the tickets immediately!” said Daniela.

5. d_______________ 6. s_______________ 7. w_______________
解析：
81. joining
分析语意，看见自己喜爱的舞蹈俱乐部，正在寻找俱乐部的Daniela应该是希望加入(join)。前面有介词about,join要变为动名词。
82. plan/project/program
分析语意，后一句Daniela知道：俱乐部准备给养老院引进电子游戏平台，缺词以p开头，对俱乐部来说，这是一个新的(项目/计划)。
83. special/specific
从后句知道，该平台不同于普通健身平台，它针对的是不能上健身房或参加户外运动的群体。以s开头,表达“不相同”语意的单词应该是special/specific。
84. alone/anywhere
观察否定句的结构:weren't able to后面用or并列了两个结构:get to a gym,exercise( )out of their room.首字母是a,符合语意的有两种可能:
alone，既不能上健身房，也不能独自户外运动；
anywhere，既不能上健身房，也不能参加户外运动。
85. described
how从句介绍了健身游戏是如何帮助老年人行动的，做介绍的俱乐部经理将以上内容( )给了Daniela。首字母d,其后有介词to,应该是describe to sb. sth.(宾语是从句，后置)。
86. suffered
分析语意,人们( )严重的痛苦,首字母s,可以和from连用,应该是suffer from 遭受，忍受。
87. winner
本段开始介绍了活动的运作：卖票抽奖获得资金，购买两个健身平台。一台给抽奖的( )……既然是抽奖，一定有人获奖，获奖人是winner，首字母是w，语法语意都吻合。

More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, teaching tools like iPads are used in a lot of courses which i 81 language, history and science.
Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos. students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.
The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it. so they can save time for doing other things. Other students. however. might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially a great h 82 to the students who are learning a language at different paces.
The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn(like listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.
There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are s 83 in their iPads and are easy to find. Some students spend more time studying now. 'I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait till I get home.' a student explained.
But many adults c 84 that technologies like iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad. he will have f 85 chances to have face-to-face communication with others.
However. technologies are a 86 _ a part of most students' day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make c__ 87 with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.

A local primary school is considering using tablet computers（平板电脑）in all classrooms from next year. The following text has been written by a teacher at the school.
Should we use tablet computers in the classroom
The use of tablet computers（or simply“tablets”）in the classroom has become an increasingly popular choice in many primary schools across the country, including many in our local area. It is important that we consider this opportunity, but we must also be a ___81___ of the problems.
On one hand, there are many a ___82___ to use tablets in the classroom.
Firstly, tablets could improve productivity（效率）during the school day. Because of their familiarity with computers and mobile phones, many of our students can type faster than they can write by hand. T___83___, using tablets in the classroom could reduce the time it takes for them to complete tasks. Additionally, there are endless tablet functions（功能）which could provide interesting teaching a ___84___. For example, we could play computer games to teach Maths, or make simple flashes to show how magnets behave. Also, students could take photos outdoors and then use them for writing tasks.
However, we must also consider the possible problems with introducing tablets to our classrooms. Some students may play with the tablets instead of f___85___ on their work. Another problem is that, while many students can use tablets already, many of our teachers are not good at it and would need to be trained. We may also have problems with the tablets breaking, which would be very expensive to r___86___. This is in addition to the cost of buying the tablets in the first place.
All in all, even though using tablets in the classroom may have many problems, it seems that it would be a wonderful opportunity for students and teachers at our school. There are a lot of costs indeed, but it would c___87___ prove to be a worthwhile investment（物有所值的投资）.
1. a_______________ 2. a_______________ 3. T_______________ 4. a_______________
5. f_______________ 6. r_______________ 7. c_______________
解析：
(1)考查形容词。根据It is important that we consider this opportunity,but we must also...由连词but，可推出需要表达的是，我们必须也意识到问题所在，使用固定搭配be aware of意识到……,所以用aware。
(2)考查名词。根据Firstly,tablets could improve productivity(效率)during the school day，可推出后文描述的是它的优点，前面有many,可知用名词复数advantages。
(3)考查副词。根据many of our students can type faster than they can write by hand与后一句using tablets in the classroom could reduce the time it takes for them to complete tasks.存在因果关系，根据提示字母T，可知需要填入Then。表示“因此”。
(4)考查名词。根据For example,we could play computer games to teach Maths,可知是有趣的教具,固定搭配teaching aids,所以填入approaches。
(5)考查动词。根据However,we must also consider the possible problems with introducing tablets to our classrooms,可知存在可能出现的问题，根据句意，一些学生可能玩平板而不是_他们的学习，需要用固定搭配focus on表示“关注”,前面有instead of,of是介词,所以后面的动词要用ing形式,用focusing。
(6)考查动词。根据We may also have problems with the tablets breaking,我们可能也会弄坏平板，可推出坏了就要修，且很贵。结合句意，空缺处需要填入一个动词表示“修理”，前面有to，提示用to do表示目的，所以动词用原形repair。
(7)考查副词。根据even though using tablets in the classroom may have many problems,it seems that it would be a wonderful opportunity for students and teachers at out school,可推出作者是肯定平板在教室的运用，它肯定可以证明为一项物有所值的投资，结合空缺处，需要填入一个副词,表示“当然地”,用certainly。

We all remember seeing hitchhikers(搭便车者). They stood by the side of the road, thumb sticking out, waiting for a lift. But hitchhiking is getting rare nowadays. What killed it S 81 is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about hitchhiking killers and real-life crimes have stopped many drivers from picking up hitchhikers. No single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester. This fact show people’s fear: a large, strangely dressed man is though to be a d 82 person.
But the reason my be morecomplex(复杂的): hitchhiking happens where people don’t have cars and transport services are not a 83 . Plenty people still hitchhike in some countries. Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the U.K. makes the few hitchhiking people look strange. Why can’t these people a 84 cars Why can’t they take the bus or the train
Three-quarters of the UK population have cars; many of those that have no cars are quite old. So the potential(潜在的) hitchhiking population is small. Yet on my way to Manchester, I got a lift from several people. My e 85 proves that it’s still possible to hitchhike. Those who picked me up c 86 of a lawyer, a retired doctor, a tank commander, a worker, a man who lives in a lonely farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains. Most people just wanted to do someone a favour; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn’t help stopping.
The future of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing which is organized over the Internet. But for now, you can still stick your thumb out (a 87 , I didn’t do much of that. I preferred to hold up the sign of the place I wanted to go) and people --- wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people --- will stop.
In the UK, with its cheap buses and reasonable railway service, I don’t think I’ll form a habit of hitchhiking.

（十一）
One day I was driven by a rain-storm to take shelter in a little hut by the road-side, which was used by a shoe-maker as his workshop to fix shoes. The man and his son were busy with their
work; and after saying, "Good day," we began to talk together.
Before I had been with them long, the old man sent his son out to get something that he needed for his repair. His son was only one kilometre away, but it was too long for the h___81___ shoe-maker to be free. He at last took up a piece of leather and began to work on it, saying, "You know, sir, it will never do to waste time."
As soon as the rain was over, I went on my way home, thinking over what I had heard, "It will never do to waste time." Some people are always lazy, others are lazy only now and then. I was one of the second ones. I couldn't f ___82___ my attention all the time. So the old man's words came home with me and I began to feel how w___83___it was to waste so much of my life in laziness.
I had often heard and read that laziness was great h ___84___; but now I begin to see that it causes far more disadvantages than people are aware of. They don't know the wasted time never
goes back.
When a man is busy, he is said to be "occupied." What does that mean It means that a man at work is like a house with people living in it. When our minds are full of our work, there is no s___85___ for anything else. Laziness, on the other hand, is emptiness; and when the mind is empty, then the doors are thrown open, and bad thoughts come in to influence your pure heart. When it once gets hold of a man, the habit of laziness isn't e___86___ got rid of.
I have made up my mind to follow the shoe-maker's rule for the rest of my life. Although it was very hard at first, I stick to it because I learn to r___87___ myself not to waste time. Above all, I decide that my mind should never be empty.
