參考答案：61.the 62.its 63.origins 64.as/into 65.making66.freely 67.appreciated 68.what 69.isneeded 70.benefit61.本題主要考查形容詞的最高級形式。形容詞最高級前要加the，即the+adj.最高級形式+名詞.。故正確答案為the。62.本題主要考查形容詞性物主代詞的用法。形容詞性物主代詞起形容詞的作用，用在名詞前，所以名詞beauty前的代詞應使用its。故正確答案為its。63.本題主要考查名詞的單復數(shù)形式。根據(jù)后文中的areunknown可知，主語應該是復數(shù)形式origins。故正確答案為origins。64.本題主要考查動詞詞組的固定搭配。unite...as/into意為“將...聯(lián)合成為...”，句意為只有在秦始皇在他的統(tǒng)治下將中國統(tǒng)一為一個國家之后...。故正確答案為as/into。65.本題主要考查動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞形式。當主句中已經(jīng)有一個謂語動詞時，從句的動詞若為主動語態(tài)，則用現(xiàn)在分詞形式表伴隨。此題中，主句中已經(jīng)有simplified作謂語動詞，從句中主語為he，動詞make與形式賓語it是主動關系，故用making。故正確答案為making。66.本題主要考查副詞。結(jié)合句意可知，寫的很隨意，此處應該用副詞freely修飾分詞written。故正確答案為freely。67.本題主要考查被動語態(tài)。結(jié)合句意可知，書法被全世界所欣賞。此處表示被欣賞，所以要用appreciate的過去分詞appreciated。故正確答案為appreciated。68.本題主要考查主語從句。結(jié)合句意可知，所需要的東西是很簡單的，此處是主語從句，應該用what作主語表示需要的具體內(nèi)容。故正確答案為what。69.本題主要考查動詞的被動語態(tài)。天賦和需要之間是被動關系，應用isneeded表示被動語態(tài)。故正確答案為isneeded。70.本題主要考查固定詞組搭配。beofbenefitto意為“對...有好處”，是固定搭配，beof后加名詞。故正確答案為benefit。三、閱讀理解21.TheworldisnotcomingtoanendonDecember21,2012,theUSspaceagencyinsistedMondayinararecampaigntodispel(消除)widespreadrumorsfueledbytheInternetandanewHollywoodmovie.ThelatestbigscreenofferingfromSonyPicture,2012,arrivesintheatersonFriday,witha200milliondollarproductionabouttheendoftheworldsupposedlybasedonmyths(虛構(gòu)的故事)backedbytheMayancalendar.ItisclaimedthattheendoftimewillcomeasaPlanetX—orNibiru—headstowardorcollides(相撞)withtheEarth.SomewebsitesaccuseNASAofhidingthetruthontheplanet’sexistence,buttheUSspaceagencydenounced(指控)suchstoriesasan“Internethoax(惡作劇)”.“Thereisnofactualbasisfortheseclaims，”NASAsaidinaquestionandanswerpostingonitswebsite.“Ifsuchacollisionwerereal,astronomerswouldhavebeentrackingitforatleastthepastdecade,anditwouldbevisiblebynowtothenakedeye.Obviously,itdoesnotexist.Crediblescientistsworldwideknowofnothreatassociatedwith2012，”itinsisted.“Afterall,ourplanethasbeengettingalongjustwellformorethanfourbillionyears，”addedNASA.Thereisanotherplanet,Eris,floatinginspace.ButthesmallplanetsimilartoPlutowillremainsafelyfixedintheoutersolarsystemanditcancomenocloserthanfourbillionmilestotheEarth,accordingtoNASA.InitialtheoriessetthedisasterforMay2003,butwhennothinghappenedthedatewasmovedforwardtothewinterin2012tocoincidewiththeendofacycleoftheancientMayancalendar.NASAinsistedtheMayancalendarinfactdoesnotendonDecember21,2012,asanotherperiodbeginsimmediatelyafterward.Andeveniftheplanetsweretolineupassomehaveforecast,theeffectonourplanetwouldbe“negligible”，NASAsaid.“Andwhilecometsandasteroids(小行星)havealwayshittheEarth,bighitsareveryrare，”NASAnoted.Thelastmajorimpactwasbelievedtobe65millionyearsago，resultingintheendofdinosaurs.“Wehavealreadydeterminedthattherearenothreateningasteroidsaslargeastheonethatkilledthedinosaurs，”thespaceagencysaid.51．________playedakeyroleinthespreadoftherumors.A.Anewbook
