5．The lions and leopards（豹）of a national park in India normally do not get along.They（1）　 　 each other for space and food.But about a year ago，a young lioness in the park （2）　 　 a baby leopard.
The 2﹣month﹣old baby with brown ears and blue eyes was（3）　 　 ，and the lioness spent weeks nursing，（4）　 　 and caring for him until he died.She treated him as if he were one of her own two sons，who were about the same age.This was a（5）　 　 case of cross﹣species adoption in the wild，the only documented example involving animals that are normally （6）　 　 .
（7）　 　 ，the park workers thought the association would be brief，but this went on.The family were（8）　 　 to tour the park.The lioness took care of the baby，and（9）　 　 meat that she hunted.The new brothers played with him and occasionally followed him up trees.This unlikely（10）　 　 was surely amazing.
Although this adoption was puzzling，it highlights the（11）　 　 between the two species.Until they reach young adulthood，when social differences（12）　 　 ，lions and leopards play and beg for milk in similar ways.For this mother lioness，she may have（13）　 　 the baby's more leopard﹣like features—his smell，size and spotted appearance.

6．When my grandmother，who had Alzheimer's disease，went to live in the nurses station 5 years ago.I tried many things to keep her occupied.But it was only her word search book that kept her（1）　 　 .Gradually，she began to think of it as her job and it kept her from（2）　 　 .
Last night，when I came to her and said hello，she just looked at me（3）　 　 .I introduced myself and told her I was her granddaughter.She seemed（4）　 　 about who I was.Obviously，she tried to find this word in her（5）　 　 ，So I helped her find it with fingers and（6）　 　 it for her with a pencil.
Later，I suggested we go outside，and she agreed.Then she was just stating at me as if Wing to figure me out.I told her（7）　 　 I was her granddaughter."Oh，okay" she said（8）　 　 but still didn't really know.She just wanted to be kind.
And after we went（9）　 　 and I got her ready for and into bed，she told me to come（10）　 　 and we kissed and hugged real tight（11）　 　 we did for the first time.It wasn't the first time though and sooner or later there would be a（12）　 　 time.

7．（2024 大理市校级开学）During my first seven semesters as a medical student，I（1）　 　 myself to studying and（2）　 　 spoke with real patients in a hospital.Then I started visiting local hospitals to gather data for my essay.One cold evening，I was "hunting" for the final three patients I needed to complete my study.The records showed a 43﹣year﹣old patient，Ms.A，was in the ward still（3）　 　 from her recent stroke（中风）.No relatives or friends with her.When I sat down on a chair next to her bed and told her my（4）　 　 ，she agreed.The questionnaire（5）　 　 of three simple questions.Before I could（6）　 　 after finishing it，Ms.A spoke up in her weak voice.

Perhaps everyone will live in vertical（ 垂直） cities﹣﹣high rises（9）　 　 are so large that they can（10）　 　 all the necessities of life.Since vertical cities will use（11）　 　 land than flat cities，and provide homes（12）　 　 more people，they will be practical for small countries that have（13）　 　 population.（14）　 　 idea that will be helpful to small countries is the（15）　 　 city.Monaco has already built homes，stores，and offices on the（16）　 　 of the Mediterranean Sea.
There are some people who think that we will（17）　 　 in caves.But the caves of the future will be very（18）　 　 from the caves of the Stone Age.Farms and parks will be on the land（19）　 　 the cave city.When people want to go to the country or to a park，a short ride in a（20）　 　 will take them there.
