II. Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fil
15、l in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. 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.(A)One night I decided to spend some time building a happier and closer re
16、lationship with my daughter. For several weeks she _25_ (ask) me to play chess with her, I suggested a game and she eagerlyaccepted. It was a school night, however, and at nine oclock my daughter asked if I _26_hurry my moves, because sheneeded to go to bed; she had to get up at six in the morning.
17、Iknew she had strict sleeping habits, _27_ I thought she ought to be able togive up some of this strictness. I said to her, “Come on,you can stay up late for once. Were havingfun. ”We played on for _28_ fifteen minutes, during which time she lookedanxious. Finally she said, “Please, Daddy, do it qui
18、ckly.” “No,” I replied. “_29_ you want to play itwell, youre going to play it slowly.” And so wecontinued untilsuddenly my daughter burst into tears, andadmitted _30_ (beat). Clearly I had madea mistake. I had started the evening wanting to have ahappy time with my daughter but hadallowed my desire
19、to win to become moreimportant than my relationship with my daughter. When I was a child, my desire _31_(win)served me well. As a parent, Irealized that it got in my way. So I had to change. (B)While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents
20、 may face. Of all the reasons _32_ explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”(空巢综合症). In order to seek _33_(good) chances outside their countries, many young people have gone
21、abroad, _34_(leave) their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact _35_ most of these young people have gone to
22、Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty _36_ they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match _37_ they actually do. This geographical and
23、 cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing timely response _38_ the needs of their aged parents.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents _39_ (describe) as “distant parent phenomenon”, _40_ is common both in developed countries and in
24、developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their
25、countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

27、Now the worlds first publicly traded 3D bioprinting company is getting _41_ for production. In January slices of human liver tissue were _42_ to an outside laboratory for testing. These _43_ take about 30 minutes to produce, says Keith Murphy, the firms chief executive. Later this year Organovo aims
28、 to begin commercial sales. The invention of 3D printing provided a technology now _44_ to manufacture everything from aircraft parts to body parts. But the _45_ of 3D bioprinting is even brighter; to create human tissues for research, drug development and testing, and _46_ as replacement organs, su
29、ch as a kidney, for patients desperately in need of _47_. Bioprinted organs could be made from patients own cells and thus would not be _48_ by their immune systems. They could also be manufactured on demand. At present only a few of companies are trying to _49_ the production of bioprinted tissues.
30、 But Thomas Boland, an early pioneer in the field, says that plenty of others are interested. He also estimates that about 80 teams at research institutions around the world are now trying to print _50_ small pieces of tissues such as skin, blood vessels, liver, lung and heart. “Its a wonderful tech
31、nology to build three-dimensional biological structures.” says Gabor Forgaces, who co-founded Organovo in 2007. III.
