【导语】本文主要讲述的是一种当前最受欢迎的心形手势。
73．句意：它被称为“心形手”。根据“It is … “hand heart””及备选词可知，被成为“心形手”，call“称为”，在这里是被动语态，其结构是“be+动词的过去分词”，call的过去分词是called，故填called。
74．句意：在最近的照片中，美国许多年轻的流行歌星都采取了这一手势。根据“Swift often does it at her concerts”可知，此处以举例的方式说明流行歌星都采取了这个手势，star“明星”，many修饰可数名词的复数，故填stars。
75．句意 ：心手势意味着“我爱你”和 “谢谢你”之间的一些事。根据“‘I love you’ and ‘thank you’”及备选词可知，此处用短语between…and…表示“在……和……之间”，故填between。
76．句意：你可以发送一个甜蜜的，简单的信息，不需要说一个字。根据“a word”及备选词可知，此处是不用说一个字，say“说话”，因为在介词without后面，故此空应填动名词saying，故填saying。
77．句意：她被认为是第一个让它流行起来的人。根据“And she is believed to be the first to…it popular”及备选词可知，让这个手势流行起来的第一人，make sth+形容词“使某物……”，又因为跟在动词不定式符号to后面，需动词原形，故填make。
78．句意 ：上个月，贾斯汀·比伯和他的超级明星朋友们做了一个“心形手”活动，并把照片放到了网上。此空修饰名词superstar friends，且指代前文提到的“Justin Bieber”的朋友，所以用形容词性物主代词，故填his。
79．句意 ：过去，非语言文化的传播需要更长的时间。根据“It used to take much…for nonverbal(非言语的) culture to move”及备选词可知，传播需要更久，long“久的”，much修饰比较级，故填longer。
80．句意 ：但现在，它传播得更快，因为我们有智能手机和互联网。根据“it moves faster…we have smart phones and the Internet”可知，前后是因果关系，因为有智能手机和互联网，所以传播更快，故填because。
81．句意：在韩国，这个手势已经流行有一段时间了。根据“In the Republic of Korea, the “hand heart” has been … for a long time”及备选词可知，已经流行一段时间了，popular“流行的”，故填popular。
82．句意：但在另一种不同的方式，那里的人们把他们的手放在他们的头上方，用他们的手臂做出一个更大的心形。根据“people there put their hands above their heads and make a bigger heart shape with their arms. It means “I love you””可知，此处介绍另外一种方式，way“方式”，a修饰名词的单数形式，故填way。
