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 2By “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 3Blood 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 isnt 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 its 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 succeededMarc 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, its also a universal type, which means it can be transfused into any patient.Passage 4A 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 5The Unexpected Kindness Of A StrangerYest
