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

　　解题思路

　　1.[M]空格在冠词和代词之间，应为形容词。第2段第1句提及tattoos(纹身)的特点是stick-on(粘贴的)和wash-off(可洗掉的)，可见，此处说的纹身是暂时的而非永久性的，故选用temporary,起到启下的作用，与下文提到的特点保持一致。

　　2.[B]填入空格的词作定语从句的谓语,而且能与介词of搭配。该定语从句描述纹身的作用，结合第1段和本句内容可知，纹身可以提供小孩吃什么过敏的信息，保障有过敏体质的小孩的安全。故选warn一词， warnof anut allergy意为“提醒对花生过敏”。词库中remind 通常也可和of 连用，但常用于remind sb. of sth.结构，故排除。

　　3.[F]句子缺少谓语，句中的five years ago提示要用过去时态,故空格处应填入动词过去式。此处应选established，意为Michele Welsh大约在五年前创立了这家公司。

　　4.[A]空格位于got之后,可为名闻、形容闻或分词。根据句末的“在游乐场所时”可推知在孩子的手臂上写电话号码是为防止出游时走散,词库中separated正好符合讲境。 .

　　5.[K]空格前后的a fatal peanut allergy语法结构完整，由此判断此处应为副词,用来修饰形容词fata1。此处应选 potentially —词,potentially fatal 意为“可能会致命的”。

　　6.[H]空格在不定冠词a之后，应该是一个名词。根据上一句提到的“孩子因花生过敏多次被送进急诊室”，可推知此感叹句要表达的是“要是有什么东西可以提醒她就好了”，reminder符合句意。

　　7.[C]空格在连词but之后，在整个分句之前，可以推断此处需耍一个副词。此处应选用generaUy，表示看护“通常”不会检査其他产品的外包装，看看这些产品的配料成分是两含有花生。

　　8.[G] a提示此处应填人名词。本句提到了older kids和little kids。由“大一点的孩子已经学会检查产品配料”可知，这对于他们来说不是什么难事,challenge“挑战”符合句意。

　　9.[J]句子缺少谓语动词expressed的宾语,此处需填人名词。根据后面内容“引来异样的关注”、“许多小孩因食物过敏症而受到欺负”可知，此处说的是某些人的担忧。名词concerns符合句意。

　　10.[I] feel more提示此处应填人形容词。上一段说的是提醒标签可能带来的负面影响，本段转折连词However提示本段讲提醒标签的优点。据此选用confident,表示提醒标签能让父母在送孩子去参加集体活动的时候感到更放心。

　　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.

　　A) promptly B) tolerant C) turbulent D) vanished

　　E) presented F) launch G) pledge H)triumphant

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

　　M) strengthen N) unique O) subsequently

　　解题思路

　　1.[B]空格在be动词后，说明books的特点，应为作表语的名词、形容词或分词。根据上文的wait, days,months，years等词，可推断此处空格的词义与“时间”或“等待”有关，此处应选用tolerant，表示“书籍很有耐性地等待我们去读”。

　　2.[F]空格在不定式标记to后，应为动词原形。上一段提及新出道的作家经不起长时间的等待，这里则讲到Eterna Cadencia设法改善这种情况。动词launch可与into the market搭配，表示“推出新出道的作家，让他们进入市场”。

　　3.[M]空格在不定式标记to之后，应为动词原形。空格后的“使读者更快读完他们的书”提示，“The BooksThat Can’t Wait”对读者和新出道的作家之间的联系起积极的作用，故选用strengthen“增强”。

　　4.[N]空格在定冠词the和名词之间，应为名词、形容词或分词作定语，概括ink的特点。这种墨汁在接触光和空气后会逐渐消失，据此可见，这种墨汁很特别，unique符合文中语境。

　　5.[J]空格在不定冠词a和介词of之间，应为名词。printed提示此处的名词应与某种印刷品有关，据此选collection一词。a collection of works 意为“作品集”。

　　6.[A]空格在比较级标记more之后，应为修饰不定式动词read的副词。根据上文对于墨汁和书的描述，可以推断这种书会让读者抓紧时间读书，赶在字体消失之前把书读完，此处选用promptly最为合适。

　　7.[E]空格在主语和宾语之间，应为动词充当句子谓语。本段与上一段都使用了过去时态，故该空格也应是动词过去式。此处应选用presented,表示“他们把《不能等的书》赠送给评论家和新闻界”。

　　8.[H]空格在be动词后，可为名词、形容词或分词作表语，说明该发明怎样。根据后一句提到的“许多人跑去书店买书”可知,新发明的这种书占有了市场，应该是成功的，故此处选用triumphant最为合适。

　　9.[O]空格位于句子开头，其后被逗号与句子其他部分隔开,可见空格应为副词。上一句提到，第一版书在发行当天就全部售完;本句则说出版商接到了许多订单。此处应选用subsequently“随后”，表明前后句子谓语动作发生的先后顺序。

　　10.[K]空格在定冠词the之后，应为名词。本题应从词库中选用guarantee,该句意为：现在他们有了“保障”新出道的作家的作品不会被束之高阁的方法。词库中其他名词与上下文语义不符。
