(2022·上海金山·二模)Loans at public libraries fell dramatically during the pandemic (疫情), while website visits rose. If the service is to ____61____ further cuts, it needs users.
Libraries are romantic yet plain places. The romance is that of reading, and the wealth of human imagining and learning that is ____62____ in them. The plain side of libraries is more ____63____. This is the world of buildings, shelving, books, library cards, computers — and people with bodies that ____64____ space as well as minds that can be opened. It would be hard to find anyone who actively ____65____ libraries, and question the principles of self-improvement that they stand for. But when it comes to ____66____, Britain’s libraries are on less solid ground. The sector has been cut ____67____ in the past decade, with around 800 libraries across England disappearing.
The first Covid lockdown caused a new ____68____ of interest in reading, as the idea took hold that people forced to stay at home would spend more time with their noses in books — both finding out more about the virus and escaping from it. But the latest data regarding libraries is ____69____ for anyone who values them as bricks-and-mortar (实体店) places to go. The number of books borrowed in the year ending in March 2021 was 72.9m, down 56% on the previous year. Physical visits also ____70____, from 214.6m to 59.7m, compared with the fact that website visits grew by 18% to 154.7m. Of course, this is the behavior that one would expect during a pandemic. Many libraries were closed during this period, when people were ____71____ from unnecessary mixing.
Private libraries at home, whether large collections or single, untidy bookshelves, appear to be ____72____, with more ones springing up. But the hope must be that visits and loans at public libraries will soon return to their former level too. Like any other service, libraries need users. And while booksellers might in one sense be regarded as rivals (竞争对手), ____73____ the vast majority of those involved in the trade, from publishers to poets, are library lovers — as can be seen from the volumes they have inspired.
This has something to do with the romantic notion of the reader as ____74____, with every book a door to a new store of feeling or understanding. But it also shows the recognition that if books are to form part of our ____75____ life, there must be space in public for them. Books can be treasured possessions, but there is also something special about a copy that arrives in your hands having passed through those of others — and that will go on being passed between strangers who share your curiosity.

(2022·上海静安·二模)Against all our wishes, advertising works, which is why, even in hard economic times, Madison Avenue is a $34-billion-a-year business. And if Martin Lindstrom, a marketing consultant is correct, trying to ___76___ the advertisement is about to get especially hard.
83% of all forms of advertising principally ___77___ only one of our senses: sight. Hearing, however, can be just as powerful, though advertisers have taken only limited advantage of it. Historically, ads have relied on slogans (广告语) to catch our ear, ___78___ everyday sounds — a steak sizzling (发嘶嘶声), a baby laughing and other sounds we can't help paying attention to. Weave these everyday sounds into an ad campaign and we customers may be ___79___ to resist them.
According to Lindstrom, the everyday sound that is most impressive, both in terms of interest and ___80___ feelings, is a baby laughing. The other high-ranking sounds are also powerful — the sound of a car engine or a soda being poured.
In all of these cases, it doesn’t need an experienced advertisement designer to invent the sounds, associate them with meanings and then play them over and over until the subjects ___81___ them. Rather, the everyday sounds already have meanings and thus can cause a kind of ___82___: hunger, thirst or happy expectation.
Some TV ads have already given viewers close-up shots of meat with sizzling sounds. And retailers are ___83___. Lindstrom is now consulting with clients, intending to pipe the sound of filtering coffee or fizzing soda into the drink department or that of a baby laughing sound into the baby-food section.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that advertisers can just press the audio button ___84___ and consumers will come eagerly. Indeed, sometimes customers flee. In the early years of cell-phone use, the ringtone (铃音) of a famous cell phone brand was recognized by many people in the U.K., but soon it became widely ____85____. That, Lindstrom says, was partly because so few users observed cell-phone manners and ____86____ accidents kept happening in places like movie theaters. The computer start-up sound has taken on the similarly negative ____87____, because people so often hear it when they’re restarting the computer after it ____88____. In these cases, manufacturers themselves may as well revise the bothersome sound or ____89____ it entirely.
Lindstrom’s experiment also shows that people respond to a sound better when it’s ____90____. If nothing else, smart marketers may at least keep the volume low.

The host gave each child a cloth handkerchief and told us the winner would be the one who threw it the farthest. The first little throwers took mighty ___94___, but the cloth opened and fell to the ground. So it annoyed me to see the kids throwing ___95___ when the handkerchief always opened. The secret was not to throw harder but to keep the cloth from ___96___. Suppose I hid a rock in the cloth without tying it. The rock would drive the cloth at least farther than the others, and when they ___97___, people might not notice a small rock ___98___ in the grass. I had a good chance of ___99___ with it, but I didn’t want to win by cheating. I had to make the handkerchief fly like a ____100____. I began tying the handkerchief around itself to make it small.

(2022·重庆南开中学模拟预测)One of my most treasured memories as the daughter of a calligrapher was my mother showing me the beauty, the shape and the form of Chinese____106____. Ever since then, I have been____107____by this incredible language.

For example, the shape of the “fire” is a person with two arms on both sides, as if she is yelling____114____. “Help!

Two “suns” together means being____118____. Three together, that’s sparkles.
Putting two “mountains” on top of each other, we get another character. In ancient China, that means in exile (流放), because Chinese emperors put their political enemies in exile____119____mountains. Nowadays “exile” has____120____getting out. A “mouth” which tells you where to get out is an exit.
