Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given ward; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Is Shakespeare and Company’s Success Replicable(可复制的)?
The summer afternoon was hot in Paris, but no one in a bookshop seemed bothered. Dozens were patiently waiting to enter Shakespeare and Company, a storied bookshop situated 1 the River Seine from Notre Dame Cathedral (巴黎圣母院). “That’s where Shakespeare wrote for a while,” a passer-by informed her friends. No one corrected her.
“The myth-telling is fascinating,” says Sylvia Whitman, co-owner of the English-language bookshop. “It adds to the house of stories that a bookshop can be.” In fact, Shakespeare and Company was launched by Ms. Whitman’s father, George, 75 years ago. Around 2,000 to 3,000 people visit daily, partly drawn by the shop’s huge social-media following. It has earned more impressive screen credits than many actors, 2 (cast) in multiple classic films. A hit TV series, Emily in Paris, asked to feature 3 , but Ms. Whitman declined. The bookshop already deals with so many selfie-snappers (自拍客).
How does a physical bookstore survive three-quarters of a century and still get people to queue to enter? One answer is a clever approach to social media. Photos and videos are prohibited inside. 4 spends hours scrolling through TikTok will find the shop wrapped in mystery. “ 5 you step inside the shop, you will never find out what it looks like; so that’s kind of cool,” says Hannah, a literature student from England.
Ms. Whitman also understands that buyers are not only seeking an entertaining tale, but a story about how and where they bought that book. The shop, a quiet treasure housing many rare editions, 6 (stock) loads of luxurious hardcovers with the look of yesteryear. Far from killing print, e-books have even made some consumers 7 (keen) to invest in special editions than before.
How replicable is its model? Many other bookstores sell limited-edition products and host author events. Having authors 8 (sign) copies can triple book sales. Yet Shakespeare and Company’s playbook is impossible 9 (copy). Its history and location in central Paris are unbeatable. “Very few booksellers own their real estate as Shakespeare and Company 10 ,” notes James Daunt, the boss of bookseller Barnes&Noble. He points out that a bookshop that also happened to be called Shakespeare&Co (no relation) closed last year in New York, as it faced rising rents and other business challenges.
【答案】
1.across 2.cast/having been cast 3.it 4.Whoever 5.Unless/Until 6.stocks 7.keener 8.sign 9.to copy 10.does

5.考查状语从句。句意:来自英国的文学专业学生汉娜说道:“除非/直到你走进书店里面,否则你永远不会知道它是什么样子;所以这有点酷。”此处表达“除非”的条件逻辑,连词unless符合主从句的条件关系;或引导时间状语从句,表示“直到”用until。句首首字母大写。
6.考查时态和主谓一致。句意:这家书店是藏有众多珍本的安静宝地,备有大量带有复古外观的豪华精装书。全文主体时态为一般现在时,主语The shop是第三人称单数,谓语动词stock要变为对应的三单形式。

David Samson, an associate professor at the University of Toronto, has scaled trees to study chimpanzee (黑猩猩) beds and visited remote tribes to understand how the story of human sleep unfolded. His book “The Sleepless Ape: The Story of Sleep in Human Evolution” was 31 (publish) on May 19.
Samson’s findings reveal how human sleep patterns became shorter, deeper and more flexible than 32 of our more ape-like ancestors, freeing time to spend on toolmaking, social interactions and migration around the world.
His book details how our ancestral species left the safety of 33 (sleep) in trees for the dangerous ground as a result of shelter, fire and social sleeping. How did that shift benefit us?
According to Samson, 34 we created was a completely new innovative space for sleep, and the analogy (类比) he has been using here is a shell.
We do know that early humans like Homo erectus (直立人) were sleeping in groups. We can 35 tell that right around this time there was likely the controlled use of fire. And because of the fact that you have a much larger group with demographic (人口的) variability, you likely had a situation 36 someone was awake 24/7. He must be awake there to sound the alarm 37 there was danger. It’s very clear that a hunter-gatherer camp would have been adapted to have larks and owls (早起型人与夜猫子型人) relatively 38 (distribute), such that the shell is a little bit safer during a 24-hour period.
Meanwhile, humans have more REM (rapid eye movement) sleep than other primates (灵长类) 39 less sleep in total. When you’re in phasic REM, you’re as dead to the world 40 you’ll ever be. For our ancient ancestors, it was extremely costly to be in this state, but if you’ve built the shell, all of a sudden you have a new opportunity to get this really valuable sleep at higher proportions than other animals.
【答案】
31.published 32.those 33.sleeping 34.what 35.also 36.where 37.if/when 38.distributed 39.but 40.as
【导语】本文主要介绍了多伦多大学副教授David Samson关于人类睡眠进化的研究成果,论述了人类睡眠模式如何从树栖祖先的睡眠方式演变为更短、更深、更灵活的模式,以及这种转变对人类进化的重要意义。

32.考查代词。句意:Samson的研究发现揭示,人类睡眠模式相较于我们更近似猿类的祖先,是如何变得更短、更深、更灵活的,从而腾出时间投入工具制造、社会交往以及全球迁徙。此处指代前文的复数名词sleep patterns,表示“我们更像猿的祖先的睡眠模式”,需用复数代词those。
33.考查非谓语动词。句意:他的书详细描述了我们祖先物种如何由于住所、火和群体睡眠的原因,离开了在树上睡觉的安全环境,转向危险的地面。介词of后接动名词作宾语,所以此处为sleeping。
34.考查名词性从句。句意:根据Samson的说法,我们创造出了一个全新的、富有创新性的睡眠空间,而他在此一直使用的类比就是贝壳。本句为包含主语从句的复合句,从句中created缺少宾语,指“我们所创造的东西”,用what引导主语从句。
35.考查副词。句意:我们还可以知道,就在这个时候,人类可能已经开始控制使用火。根据上文“We do know that early humans like Homo erectus (直立人) were sleeping in groups.(我们确实知道,像直立人这样的早期人类是成群睡在一起的。)”,可知,此处承接上文,表示“我们还可以知道……”,所以此处为also。
36.考查定语从句。句意:而且由于群体规模大得多,同时存在人口特征的差异性,很可能出现一种情况:总有人全天候保持清醒。本句为包含定语从句的复合句,先行词为situation,在从句中作状语表示地点,用关系副词where引导从句。
37.考查状语从句。句意:他必须在那里保持清醒,以便在有危险时发出警报。根据句意可知,此处表示条件或时间,所以此处为if或when。
38.考查非谓语动词。句意:很显然,狩猎‑采集者的营地会自然形成早起型人和夜猫子相对分布的状态,使得这个(睡眠)庇护空间在一整天24小时内都能更为安全。空白处在句子中作宾补,larks and owls与distribute之间是被动关系,用过去分词distributed。
39.考查连词。句意:与此同时,人类比其他灵长类动物拥有更多的REM(快速眼动)睡眠,但总睡眠时间更少。根据“more REM (rapid eye movement) sleep(更多的REM睡眠)”以及“less sleep in total(更少的总睡眠时间)”可知,前后句之间构成转折关系,所以此处为but。
40.考查固定句型。句意:当你处于阶段性快速眼动睡眠状态时,你对外界的无知觉程度会达到你能达到的最高水平。此处为as...as固定结构,第一个as修饰形容词dead,第二个as引导比较状语从句,所以此处为as。

The Timeless Tradition of Chinese Tea Ceremony
The Chinese tea ceremony, known as gongfu cha, represents one of China’s 41 (refined) cultural practices, blending philosophy, etiquette, and sensory appreciation into a single ritual. 42 (date) back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), this tradition has evolved into a meditative art form that continues to captivate both practitioners and observers worldwide.
The tea ceremony is built around four key elements: good tea, clean water, the right teapot, and proper brewing methods. Tea experts first heat special Yixing clay teapots — these teapots improve with repeated use 43 they soak up tea flavors. Then they add oolong or Pu’er tea leaves. The water is kept hot but never boiling 44 (bring) out the tea’s best taste, and the same leaves are used to make several cups of tea. Every action 45 (matter), from washing the leaves to pouring tea into small cups, following traditional rules that require full concentration.
The tea ceremony is not just about making tea. It teaches important life values like peace and respect, which Confucius taught long ago. When tea is poured in circles, it represents how life keeps going. Serving tea to older people first shows respect for elders. Scientists now prove 46 ancient people knew — a substance called L-theanine in tea helps people feel calm but focused. This natural relaxing effect 47 (exist) hundreds of years before people started talking about “mindfulness”.
Interestingly, regional variations reveal cultural diversity. Fujian’s ceremonies emphasize floral aromas, 48 Tibetan butter tea addresses high-altitude nutritional needs. Contemporary adaptations include tea-meditation hybrids in Shanghai skyscrapers, proving this ancient practice remains dynamically relevant.
As globalization accelerates, the tea ceremony offers a counterbalance — a space 49 time slows down, relationships deepen, and we reconnect with nature’s rhythms. This 1,300-year-old tradition still teaches us invaluable lessons 50 _______ patience, precision, and presence in our fast-paced world.

The Lights of Aurora
On the night of 2 September1859, the dark sky over Europe and North America was suddenly full of light!The light did no come from the sun or the moon and it had a strange colour. The light moved across the sky, (21)___________( come ) and going, like clouds in a strong wind in the United States, a man in Boston was using the telegraph to speak to a man in Portand160kmaway They both turned off the electricity for the telegraph, but (22)__________ could still speak to each other for the next two hours. The electricity was coming from the light in the sky. How was this possible? And what was the light in the sky?
The light is called the aurora. Usually. you can see it only at the very north of the earth,(23)_______it is called aurora borealis or Northerm Lights, or at the very south, where it is the aurora australis or Southern Lights. But in 1859, something happened in the sun-a very large storm-and it moved the aurora across the middle of the earth. We do not think that his ever happened before 1859, and we know that it (24)________ (not happen) since then.
Why does the aurora happen? And why can we only see it at the top or bottom of the earth The aurora is made by something (25)__________(call) the ‘'solar wind’( wind from the sun). We cannot see this wind, or touch it. It is a wind of particles that travel away from the sun at the time at about 400 kilometers a second. Most of the particles never touch the earth The earth has a kind of ‘wall’ around it that defends it(26)________these particles. This wall is called the earth's magnetic field,and it pushes the particles away on either side, But the earth's magnetic field has two “windows” in it: the magnetic north, and the magnetic south. At these places. the earth's magnetic field turns down into the earth. And some of the particles from the solar wind come through these magnetic ' windows'. These solar particles crash is to the particles tat are already in our sky. And ( 27 )_________this happens. we see the beautiful lines or clouds of light of the aurora.
Alaska is a good place ( 28 )________( see ) the auurora borealis , and you can also go to places like Iceland, Siberia , the north of Greenland , Norway , Sweden, and Scotland To seethe aurora australis , go to the south of Australia , Tasmania , or New Zealand.
People travel thousands of kilometers to see the aurora , and they can never be sure ( 29)_______it will happen .But (30) _______________do see it say that they will never forget it.
【答案】
21.coming 22.they 23.where 24,has not happened 25.called
26.against 27.when/as 28.to see 29.that 30.whoever
【解析】
21.coming
[解析]考查现在分词。根据句子结构,空格处提示动词与“going”并列,所以形式应保持一致,所以填入 coming。句意:光在天空中移动,来来去去,就像强风中的云。
22.they
[解析]考查代词作作主语。根据句子结构,该句缺主语,结合前面的“They both turned off the electricity for the telegraph,”可知这后半句的主语也为“they”,故填入they。句意:他们俩都关掉了电报机的电源,但在接下来的两个小时里,他们仍然可以互相交谈。
23.where
[解析]考查定语从句。根据后面的“or at the very south,where it is the aurora australis or Southern Lights.”可知此处同样是一个定语从句,也是用关系副词where 作后面从句的地点状语。故填入 where。句意:通常,你只能在地球的最北边看到它,在那里它被称为北极光,或者在地球的最南边,它被称为南极光。24.has not happened
[解析]考查现在完成时的否定结构。此处的宾语从句缺谓语动词,结合“since”可知此处的时态为现在完成时,故填入 has not happened。句意:我们不认为这种情况在 1859 年以前发生过,我们知道从那以后也没有发生过。
25.called
[解析]考查过去分词作后置定语。根据句子的谓语动词 is made,判定空格处的动词为非谓语结构,而且分析句子结构可知,此处应用动词的过去分词作后置定语修饰 something,故填入 called。句意: 极光是由一种叫做“太阳风来自太阳的风)的东西产生的。
26.against
[解析]查介词。此处考查固定搭配 defend...against... 保卫...以免受...),故填入 against。句意:地球周围有一种“墙”,可以保护它不受这些粒子的影响。
27.when/as
[解析]考查时间状语从句。本段一开始提到“Why does the aurora happen? (为什么会发生极光?)”,可知本段解释了极光是如何发生的,那么此处说的应是“当这种情况发生时,我们就会看到美丽的极光线或云”,这是一个时间状语从句,故填入“when/as”。句意:当这种情况发生时,我们就会看到美丽的极光线或云。
28.to see
[解析]考查动词不定式。根据句子谓语动词 is 判定空格处提示动词是非谓语动词结构,而此处考查的是句式:(It+is+a/an+名词+to+do+sth.),故填入 to see句意:阿拉斯加是观赏北极光的好地方。
29.that
[解析]考查宾语从句。根据 be sure 后面的 it will happen,判定从句作的是宾语的成分,故此处用 that 引导宾语从句,填入 that。句意:人们千里迢迢去看极光,却永远无法确定它是否会发生。
30.whoever
[解析]考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知此句缺主语,而后面宾语从句的主语为 they,再结合前面提到的“人们千里迅通去看极光”,说明极光很受欢迎,可以推测出这里的句意为“但是看到它的人都说他们永远不会忘记它”,也就是“无论是谁看到了它都说永远不会忘记它”,故填入 whoever。句意:但是看到它的人都说他们永远不会忘记它。

Is Shakespeare and Company’s Success Replicable(可复制的)?
The summer afternoon was hot in Paris, but no one in a bookshop seemed bothered. Dozens were patiently waiting to enter Shakespeare and Company, a storied bookshop situated 1 the River Seine from Notre Dame Cathedral (巴黎圣母院). “That’s where Shakespeare wrote for a while,” a passer-by informed her friends. No one corrected her.
“The myth-telling is fascinating,” says Sylvia Whitman, co-owner of the English-language bookshop. “It adds to the house of stories that a bookshop can be.” In fact, Shakespeare and Company was launched by Ms. Whitman’s father, George, 75 years ago. Around 2,000 to 3,000 people visit daily, partly drawn by the shop’s huge social-media following. It has earned more impressive screen credits than many actors, 2 (cast) in multiple classic films. A hit TV series, Emily in Paris, asked to feature 3 , but Ms. Whitman declined. The bookshop already deals with so many selfie-snappers (自拍客).
How does a physical bookstore survive three-quarters of a century and still get people to queue to enter? One answer is a clever approach to social media. Photos and videos are prohibited inside. 4 spends hours scrolling through TikTok will find the shop wrapped in mystery. “ 5 you step inside the shop, you will never find out what it looks like; so that’s kind of cool,” says Hannah, a literature student from England.
Ms. Whitman also understands that buyers are not only seeking an entertaining tale, but a story about how and where they bought that book. The shop, a quiet treasure housing many rare editions, 6 (stock) loads of luxurious hardcovers with the look of yesteryear. Far from killing print, e-books have even made some consumers 7 (keen) to invest in special editions than before.
How replicable is its model? Many other bookstores sell limited-edition products and host author events. Having authors 8 (sign) copies can triple book sales. Yet Shakespeare and Company’s playbook is impossible 9 (copy). Its history and location in central Paris are unbeatable. “Very few booksellers own their real estate as Shakespeare and Company 10 ,” notes James Daunt, the boss of bookseller Barnes&Noble. He points out that a bookshop that also happened to be called Shakespeare&Co (no relation) closed last year in New York, as it faced rising rents and other business challenges.

At Hopson One Mall in Yangpu district, Shanghai, hundreds of visitors line up at a popup store. They are drawn by a popular item — squishy (捏捏) cake toys — colorful, foam squeezables designed for stress relief and fashion statements. Unlike ultra-squishy toys, this item has a 11 (firm) foam texture, great for office desk decor, party gifts or relieving work and school pressure for both kids and adults alike.
The toys have become so popular that a large number of tourists from Southeast Asian countries 12 (pay) special visits to China currently, dragging their suitcases to offline stores in Shanghai for shopping trips. After these tourists return to their home countries, 13 they resell their products at double or even higher prices, the products are still highly sought after by local consumers.
At a soft rubber toy factory in Zhejiang province’s Yiwu, located some 300 kilometers from Shanghai, millions of “freshly baked” bun-shaped decompression toys are about 14 (board) a truck bound for Ningbo Zhoushan Port, crossing mountains and waterways to Europe and North America.
With some markets seeing a recovery trend, China’s $15.6 billion first-half total sends a clear signal: the next wave of Chinese toy exports will reach 15 emotional consumption is taking root, be it in Europe, North America or Southeast Asia. 16 is behind this evolving phenomenon of exports is a combination of multiple factors, 17 “China-Chic” (国潮) design breakthroughs, mature supply chain support, global layout acceleration and the enduring appeal of emotional consumption.
Li Weiqing, 18 brand Molynk is one of the producers of squishy cake toys, said that since its establishment, the brand has aimed for a global layout. “ 19 (found) in 2024, our company deployed branch offices in the United States, Japan and Spain, with Shanghai as our headquarters.”
Dong Peng, an independent senior analyst, said: “In the past, Chinese toy exports 20 rely heavily on low-end OEM. But now Shanghai squishy cake toys have become cross-border hard currency, essentially completing the cognitive upgrade from ‘emotional consumer goods’ to ‘cultural symbol carriers’, no longer relying on simple price differences, but on meeting contemporary people’s emotional needs.”

In order to learn the art of persuasion at the workplace, you need to understand the situations 25 conflicts arise and how to reach agreements. Good communication is the first step in effective persuasion, but equally important is the capacity 26 (ground) in logic and reasoning.

David Samson, an associate professor at the University of Toronto, has scaled trees to study chimpanzee (黑猩猩) beds and visited remote tribes to understand how the story of human sleep unfolded. His book “The Sleepless Ape: The Story of Sleep in Human Evolution” was 31 (publish) on May 19.
Samson’s findings reveal how human sleep patterns became shorter, deeper and more flexible than 32 of our more ape-like ancestors, freeing time to spend on toolmaking, social interactions and migration around the world.
His book details how our ancestral species left the safety of 33 (sleep) in trees for the dangerous ground as a result of shelter, fire and social sleeping. How did that shift benefit us?
According to Samson, 34 we created was a completely new innovative space for sleep, and the analogy (类比) he has been using here is a shell.
We do know that early humans like Homo erectus (直立人) were sleeping in groups. We can 35 tell that right around this time there was likely the controlled use of fire. And because of the fact that you have a much larger group with demographic (人口的) variability, you likely had a situation 36 someone was awake 24/7. He must be awake there to sound the alarm 37 there was danger. It’s very clear that a hunter-gatherer camp would have been adapted to have larks and owls (早起型人与夜猫子型人) relatively 38 (distribute), such that the shell is a little bit safer during a 24-hour period.
Meanwhile, humans have more REM (rapid eye movement) sleep than other primates (灵长类) 39 less sleep in total. When you’re in phasic REM, you’re as dead to the world 40 you’ll ever be. For our ancient ancestors, it was extremely costly to be in this state, but if you’ve built the shell, all of a sudden you have a new opportunity to get this really valuable sleep at higher proportions than other animals.

The Timeless Tradition of Chinese Tea Ceremony
The Chinese tea ceremony, known as gongfu cha, represents one of China’s 41 (refined) cultural practices, blending philosophy, etiquette, and sensory appreciation into a single ritual. 42 (date) back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), this tradition has evolved into a meditative art form that continues to captivate both practitioners and observers worldwide.
The tea ceremony is built around four key elements: good tea, clean water, the right teapot, and proper brewing methods. Tea experts first heat special Yixing clay teapots — these teapots improve with repeated use 43 they soak up tea flavors. Then they add oolong or Pu’er tea leaves. The water is kept hot but never boiling 44 (bring) out the tea’s best taste, and the same leaves are used to make several cups of tea. Every action 45 (matter), from washing the leaves to pouring tea into small cups, following traditional rules that require full concentration.
The tea ceremony is not just about making tea. It teaches important life values like peace and respect, which Confucius taught long ago. When tea is poured in circles, it represents how life keeps going. Serving tea to older people first shows respect for elders. Scientists now prove 46 ancient people knew — a substance called L-theanine in tea helps people feel calm but focused. This natural relaxing effect 47 (exist) hundreds of years before people started talking about “mindfulness”.
Interestingly, regional variations reveal cultural diversity. Fujian’s ceremonies emphasize floral aromas, 48 Tibetan butter tea addresses high-altitude nutritional needs. Contemporary adaptations include tea-meditation hybrids in Shanghai skyscrapers, proving this ancient practice remains dynamically relevant.
As globalization accelerates, the tea ceremony offers a counterbalance — a space 49 time slows down, relationships deepen, and we reconnect with nature’s rhythms. This 1,300-year-old tradition still teaches us invaluable lessons 50 _______ patience, precision, and presence in our fast-paced world.
