阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(每空最多不超过3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

    If you're in a hurricane(飓风)-hit area and plan on riding it out, proper  (prepare) is key. And there is one thing you should have around at all times: a plastic water bottle. Why? When the weather  (take) a turn for the worse, a water bottle is one of the most useful things  you have in your home. It might even save your life. Severe flooding caused by a hurricane can make the local drinking water dirty with some  (danger) substances.  (avoid) a serious illness, it's best to store plenty of bottled water to drink safely.

    That's pretty obvious, of course. But keep those empty plastic bottles around after you drink, too,  they have lots of uncommon uses. For example,  empty water bottle can turn into a water filter(滤水器) if you need to drink from the tap. If your lights go , don't go the old-fashioned way with candles; you can rely on your handy plastic water bottles once again. Simply tape a small flashlight to the bottom of the bottle, and  (it) plastic (and the water inside) will amplify the glow(增强光亮). Then the little light can  (use) to light up a room or send signals to rescue personnel.

    Recently, an Internet slang word Foxi- or "Buddhist"- is becoming increasingly popular as it encourages people, especially {#blank#}1{#/blank#} young to remain calm and peaceful and avoid conflicts as much as possible- in other words, to live like a Buddha.

    The phrase {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (create) for the first time in 2014 in Japan to describe young men who no longer bother to start relationships with women or follow someone else's life path. They prefer to stay in their own peaceful world without {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (disturb) and care little about passion and success.

    In this fast-changing and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (compete) world, many people are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} heavy pressure. It's only natural that people are seeking for a spiritual bay. However, some would compare "foxi" with "demotivational(无动力的) culture"- a phrase {#blank#}6{#/blank#} describes young people who feel aimless and powerless. They say that foxi actually reflects the reality that young people are losing their will to fight. They are pretending {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (keep) a healthy and wise attitude towards failure simply {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they are incapable(无能力的) of succeeding.

    All in all, there is one thing that "Buddhist Youngsters" should {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (basic) keep in mind: You may want to keep a calm mindset, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you should never stop fighting for yourselves!

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

    Learning English used to be about developing four skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. After all, that's {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the exams are designed—with four skills tested separately.

    But over the years, educators have come {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (realize) that these four skills should never have been separated, but practiced all at once. And the best way to do that is, perhaps, through public speaking.

    According to Mei Deming, a professor of English at Shanghai International Studies University, giving a speech in an international language {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (require)a speaker to integrate (使成为一体) knowledge and content {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (mental)and express the result systematically. Speakers must draw on the beauty of the language as a whole in order to communicate with an audience.

    This is why the annual China Daily "21st Century Cup" National English Speaking Competition has been gaining in popularity since it began in 1996. "This competition has worked {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a model for developing students' public-speaking skills in English and provided ideas for English teaching in schools and in learning in a broader sense," said Mei.

    Shi Guohua, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} English teacher at Shanghai Qibao High School, held a similar view. He said that key competence in acquiring English today comes from the ability to express oneself rather than in simply passing exams.

    He also {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (stress) that communication should go both ways since traditional English speaking education has focused too much on getting messages out while {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (ignore)the receiver of these messages—the audience. "It's important to understand the audience and build the link between the content being delivered and the interests of the audience," he said. "It's also important to create an impressive opening to a speech."

    As China continues to play an important role in global conversations, there will be more {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (chance) for young Chinese people to present China and tell attracting stories. And in order to tell Chinese stories {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (well), we first need to develop a more overall English skill. Working on public speaking is, perhaps, the place to start.
