　　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.

　　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。

　　Many countries have a holiday to celebrate workers’rights on or around May 1, but Labour Dayin Canada is celebrated on the first Monday of September.

　　Canada's Labour Day was _1_ celebrated in the spring but it was moved to the fall after 1894.The origins of Labour Day can be traced back to April 15, 1872, when the Toronto TradesAssembly organized Canada’s first significant _2_ for worker’s rights. The aim was to releasethe 24 leaders of the Toronto Typographical Union who were imprisoned for _3_ to campaign.for a nine-hour working day. At this time, trade unions were still illegal and what they did wasseen as a criminal conspiracy to _4_ trade. In spite of this, the Toronto Trades Assemblywas already a significant organization and encouraged workers to form trade unions, _5_ indisputes between employers and employees and signaled the _6_ of workers.

　　There was _7_ public support for the demonstration and the authorities could no longer denythe important role that the trade unions had to play in the _8_ Canadian democratic society. Afew months later, a similar demonstration was organized in Ottawa and passed the house ofCanada’s first prime minister, Sir John Macdonald. Later in the day, he appeared before thegathering and promised to _9_ all Canadian laws against trade unions. This happened in thesame year and _10_ led

　　to the founding of the Canadian Labour Congress In 1883.

　　A similar holiday，Labor Day is held on the same day in the United States of America. Canadiantrade unions are proud that this holiday was inspired by their efforts to improveworkers’rights.

　　disrupt B) enormous C) lashed D) muttering E) striking F) mediated G) originally H)perpetual

　　eventually J) emerging K) gesture L) mistreatment

　　M) abolish N) parade O) practically

　　解題思路

　　1.[G]空格在動詞被動語態was…celebrated之間，應為副詞。上文提到現在加拿大的勞動節是每年9月的第一個星期一，空格所在句中的in the spring和moved等詞表明勞動節原先并不是在9月慶祝的，故選用originally，表示勞動節“原先”在春天慶祝，1894年之后才改為在秋天慶祝。

　　2.[N]空格位于形容詞之后,介詞之前，應為名詞。從下文可知加拿大勞動節起源于一場工人運動，填入此處的名詞應與下一段第1句提到的demonstration同義,指一場“運動”或一次“罷工游行”parade符合句意。

　　3.[E]空格在介詞for之后,可為名詞或現在分詞。根據句意，for引出24位工人領袖被囚禁的原因，據此可推測他們因某種行為而人獄。詞庫中striking原形是strike“罷工”，符合文中語境，故為答案。

　　4.[A]空格在不定式標記to之后，應填人動詞原形。空格所在句提到，當時工會所做的事情被視為“犯罪陰謀”,故空格的動詞應帶有消極含義。此處應選用disrupt，填入文中表示工會所做的事情被視為“妨礙貿易”的犯罪陰謀。

　　5.[F]結合句中多個連接謂語動詞的and可知，空格處應為動詞的過去式,與encouraged和signaled并列。本句描述工會當時的積極作用，根據disputes between employers and employees(勞資雙方的爭端)可推斷此處應選用mediated“調停”。

　　6.[L]空格在定冠詞the和介詞of之間,應填入名詞。此處仍然是講工會對工人所起的積極作用，mistreatment為本題答案,表明工會讓外界知道工人所受到的不公正對待。

　　7.[B]空格在名詞詞組public support之前,應為形容詞或分詞，說明外界對罷工游行的態度。本句后部分提到“當局不能再否認工會所扮演的重要角色”，由此可推知外界對罷工游行給予了“大力”支持，故此處選用enormous最合適。

　　8.[J]空格在定冠詞the和名詞詞組之間,應為形容詞或分詞。此處說明了當時加拿大民主社會處于一種什么狀態。emerging符合句意，表示“逐漸成形的民主社會”。

　　9.[M]空格在不定式標記to之后,應為動詞原形。該句表明承諾會對不利工會的法律條文做出處理。動詞詞庫中abolish“廢除”符合句意，為本題答案。

　　10.[I]空格在連詞and之后，在謂語動詞led to之前，故應為副詞。led to與前面的happened為并列謂語，這兩個動作在時間上有先后之分,且led to常用于引出事件的結果或結論，據此判斷此處最佳選擇是eventually。
