参考答案：61.the 62.its 63.origins 64.as/into 65.making66.freely 67.appreciated 68.what 69.isneeded 70.benefit61.本题主要考查形容词的最高级形式。形容词最高级前要加the，即the+adj.最高级形式+名词.。故正确答案为the。62.本题主要考查形容词性物主代词的用法。形容词性物主代词起形容词的作用，用在名词前，所以名词beauty前的代词应使用its。故正确答案为its。63.本题主要考查名词的单复数形式。根据后文中的areunknown可知，主语应该是复数形式origins。故正确答案为origins。64.本题主要考查动词词组的固定搭配。unite...as/into意为“将...联合成为...”，句意为只有在秦始皇在他的统治下将中国统一为一个国家之后...。故正确答案为as/into。65.本题主要考查动词的现在分词形式。当主句中已经有一个谓语动词时，从句的动词若为主动语态，则用现在分词形式表伴随。此题中，主句中已经有simplified作谓语动词，从句中主语为he，动词make与形式宾语it是主动关系，故用making。故正确答案为making。66.本题主要考查副词。结合句意可知，写的很随意，此处应该用副词freely修饰分词written。故正确答案为freely。67.本题主要考查被动语态。结合句意可知，书法被全世界所欣赏。此处表示被欣赏，所以要用appreciate的过去分词appreciated。故正确答案为appreciated。68.本题主要考查主语从句。结合句意可知，所需要的东西是很简单的，此处是主语从句，应该用what作主语表示需要的具体内容。故正确答案为what。69.本题主要考查动词的被动语态。天赋和需要之间是被动关系，应用isneeded表示被动语态。故正确答案为isneeded。70.本题主要考查固定词组搭配。beofbenefitto意为“对...有好处”，是固定搭配，beof后加名词。故正确答案为benefit。三、阅读理解21.TheworldisnotcomingtoanendonDecember21,2012,theUSspaceagencyinsistedMondayinararecampaigntodispel(消除)widespreadrumorsfueledbytheInternetandanewHollywoodmovie.ThelatestbigscreenofferingfromSonyPicture,2012,arrivesintheatersonFriday,witha200milliondollarproductionabouttheendoftheworldsupposedlybasedonmyths(虚构的故事)backedbytheMayancalendar.ItisclaimedthattheendoftimewillcomeasaPlanetX—orNibiru—headstowardorcollides(相撞)withtheEarth.SomewebsitesaccuseNASAofhidingthetruthontheplanet’sexistence,buttheUSspaceagencydenounced(指控)suchstoriesasan“Internethoax(恶作剧)”.“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
