SafetyTat sells colorful stick-on labels and wash-off tattoos that _2_ of a nut allergy orprovide other important medical information. Michele Welsh, a mother-of-three, _3_ thecompany about five years ago. The idea came to her after she wrote her cell phone number onher kids，arms with a pen in case they got _4_ while at an amusement park. She then thoughtof her nephew, who has a _5_ fatal peanut allergy and how much time her sister-in-law hadspent in the emergency room with him. What if she could just have a _6_!

　　Welsh pointed out that caregivers may remember not to give the child a peanut butter cookie,but _7_ they don’t think to look on the packaging of other products. “Sometimes you needsomething visual to remind others to check the ingredients," she said “And for older kids it’snot as big of a _8_ because they know to check the ingredients themselves, but the little kidsare still learning.”

　　However, some have expressed _9_ that the labels would draw unwanted attention fromschoolyard bullies. “A lot of kids do get bullied at school about their food allergies, so someparents

　　解題思路

　　1.[M]空格在冠詞和代詞之間，應為形容詞。第2段第1句提及tattoos(紋身)的特點是stick-on(粘貼的)和wash-off(可洗掉的)，可見，此處說的紋身是暫時的而非永久性的，故選用temporary,起到啟下的作用，與下文提到的特點保持一致。

　　2.[B]填入空格的詞作定語從句的謂語,而且能與介詞of搭配。該定語從句描述紋身的作用，結合第1段和本句內容可知，紋身可以提供小孩吃什么過敏的信息，保障有過敏體質的小孩的安全。故選warn一詞， warnof anut allergy意為“提醒對花生過敏”。詞庫中remind 通常也可和of 連用，但常用于remind sb. of sth.結構，故排除。

　　3.[F]句子缺少謂語，句中的five years ago提示要用過去時態,故空格處應填入動詞過去式。此處應選established，意為Michele Welsh大約在五年前創立了這家公司。

　　4.[A]空格位于got之后,可為名聞、形容聞或分詞。根據句末的“在游樂場所時”可推知在孩子的手臂上寫電話號碼是為防止出游時走散,詞庫中separated正好符合講境。 .

　　5.[K]空格前后的a fatal peanut allergy語法結構完整，由此判斷此處應為副詞,用來修飾形容詞fata1。此處應選 potentially —詞,potentially fatal 意為“可能會致命的”。

　　6.[H]空格在不定冠詞a之后，應該是一個名詞。根據上一句提到的“孩子因花生過敏多次被送進急診室”，可推知此感嘆句要表達的是“要是有什么東西可以提醒她就好了”，reminder符合句意。

　　7.[C]空格在連詞but之后，在整個分句之前，可以推斷此處需耍一個副詞。此處應選用generaUy，表示看護“通常”不會檢査其他產品的外包裝，看看這些產品的配料成分是兩含有花生。

　　8.[G] a提示此處應填人名詞。本句提到了older kids和little kids。由“大一點的孩子已經學會檢查產品配料”可知，這對于他們來說不是什么難事,challenge“挑戰”符合句意。

　　9.[J]句子缺少謂語動詞expressed的賓語,此處需填人名詞。根據后面內容“引來異樣的關注”、“許多小孩因食物過敏癥而受到欺負”可知，此處說的是某些人的擔憂。名詞concerns符合句意。

　　10.[I] feel more提示此處應填人形容詞。上一段說的是提醒標簽可能帶來的負面影響，本段轉折連詞However提示本段講提醒標簽的優點。據此選用confident,表示提醒標簽能讓父母在送孩子去參加集體活動的時候感到更放心。

　　We buy books, and then they wait for us to read them. Days, months, even years. Books are_1_. That’s OK for books, but not for new authors. If people don’t read their firstbooks，they’ll never make it to a second.

　　That’s why Eterna Cadencia, an independent publisher and book store, decided to createsomething different to _2_ their new authors into the market-“The Books That Can’t Wait”,which seeks to _3_ bonds between first-time writers and their readers by getting their booksread quickly.

　　What’s that? They developed the _4_ kind of ink, an ink that starts to disappear when it comesin contact with light and air. Then they printed a _5_ of works by the best new American Latinauthor, using this ink, to create a new kind of book—a book that lasts only two months onceyou open it This makes for an interesting approach to motivate book buyers to read booksmore __6__, giving first-time author’s the attention they need to survive.

　　They _7_ “The Book That Can’t Wait” for the critics and the press. The invention was _8_.Hundreds of people came to the bookstore to pick up their book. They gave away the entirefirst edition the very same day it was released. _9_ they received thousands of requests for thebook.

　　This time they had the _10_ that their new authors were read. Then they are going to use thebook as a platform for other different titles, because there’re a lot of literatures out there thatdon’t deserve to wait on the shelf. And theirs won’t wait at all.

　　I) opaque J) collection K) guarantee L) occasionally

　　M) strengthen N) unique O) subsequently

　　解題思路

　　1.[B]空格在be動詞后，說明books的特點，應為作表語的名詞、形容詞或分詞。根據上文的wait, days,months，years等詞，可推斷此處空格的詞義與“時間”或“等待”有關，此處應選用tolerant，表示“書籍很有耐性地等待我們去讀”。

　　2.[F]空格在不定式標記to后，應為動詞原形。上一段提及新出道的作家經不起長時間的等待，這里則講到Eterna Cadencia設法改善這種情況。動詞launch可與into the market搭配，表示“推出新出道的作家，讓他們進入市場”。

　　3.[M]空格在不定式標記to之后，應為動詞原形。空格后的“使讀者更快讀完他們的書”提示，“The BooksThat Can’t Wait”對讀者和新出道的作家之間的聯系起積極的作用，故選用strengthen“增強”。

　　4.[N]空格在定冠詞the和名詞之間，應為名詞、形容詞或分詞作定語，概括ink的特點。這種墨汁在接觸光和空氣后會逐漸消失，據此可見，這種墨汁很特別，unique符合文中語境。

　　5.[J]空格在不定冠詞a和介詞of之間，應為名詞。printed提示此處的名詞應與某種印刷品有關，據此選collection一詞。a collection of works 意為“作品集”。

　　6.[A]空格在比較級標記more之后，應為修飾不定式動詞read的副詞。根據上文對于墨汁和書的描述，可以推斷這種書會讓讀者抓緊時間讀書，趕在字體消失之前把書讀完，此處選用promptly最為合適。

　　7.[E]空格在主語和賓語之間，應為動詞充當句子謂語。本段與上一段都使用了過去時態，故該空格也應是動詞過去式。此處應選用presented,表示“他們把《不能等的書》贈送給評論家和新聞界”。

　　8.[H]空格在be動詞后，可為名詞、形容詞或分詞作表語，說明該發明怎樣。根據后一句提到的“許多人跑去書店買書”可知,新發明的這種書占有了市場，應該是成功的，故此處選用triumphant最為合適。

　　9.[O]空格位于句子開頭，其后被逗號與句子其他部分隔開,可見空格應為副詞。上一句提到，第一版書在發行當天就全部售完;本句則說出版商接到了許多訂單。此處應選用subsequently“隨后”，表明前后句子謂語動作發生的先后順序。

　　10.[K]空格在定冠詞the之后，應為名詞。本題應從詞庫中選用guarantee,該句意為：現在他們有了“保障”新出道的作家的作品不會被束之高閣的方法。詞庫中其他名詞與上下文語義不符。
