Most people have heard the story of the lost city of Atlantis. But is any part of the story t 51
Over two thousand years ago, the Greek writer Plato wrote about Atlantis, an island in the Atlantic Ocean (大西洋). The island’s people were very rich. They b 52 a big city with many great buildings. But the people became greedy (贪婪的)—they had many things, but they still wanted m 53 . So the gods became angry. Earthquakes and large waves began to hit the island. Finally, Atlantis went down i 54 the sea.
Many explorers (探险家) have l 55 for Atlantis. In 2004, explorer Robert Sarmast reported finding the remains of a city under the sea near Cyprus. However, Sarmast and other scientists later realized the structures he found under the sea were n 56 man-made. Mark Adams, writer of the 2016 book Meet Me in Atlantis, b 57 the city was in Morocco. Plato wrote about red and black stone circles around the city. Adams found s 58 red and black stones in the desert there, very near the Atlantic Ocean.
Most people, however, think Atlantis is simply a story. The p 59 of the story may be to teach people not to be greedy. Richard Ellis also wrote a book about Atlantis in 1999. He says “there is not a piece of solid evidence (证据) for a real Atlantis.”
So was the island real or not We o 60 know one thing: The mystery (谜) of Atlantis will be with us for a long time.

Like William Shakespeare, poet Du Fu has the same importance to Chinese literary tradition. To introduce the charm and beauty of traditional Chinese literature to viewers all a 61 the world, a BBC documentary invited a famous British actor to read 15 poems of Du’s that have been t 62 into English.
The documentary describes the poet’s life e 63 in detail. Born in 712, Du lived under the reign （统治） of the Tang Emperor Xuanzong (713-756), a time which was marked by richness and cultural achievement. However, as the An Lushan Rebellion （叛乱） of 755 floored the empire, Du suffered a lot. T 64 he went through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing and about 1, 500 poems have been kept over the ages. In these poems, he used to express his w 65 about his country and the poor people.
Chinese people really value the recording of history, which we can always read and f 66 from Du’s poetry. That’s because lots of historical events are mirrored （反映） in his own life and spiritual journey. Though he never took a very h 67 position in the government, Du cared much about common people. That’s why he was c 68 as a Poet-Sage （诗圣） by later generations （后代）. A difficult life and his spirit of caring about the people helped him create so many great works. Du is a cultural symbol of a 69 China, but his works and spirits have also encouraged people outside China. As the documentary noted, his works represent a valuable cultural heritage for the w 70 world, not just China.

【导语】本文主要介绍了诗人杜甫对中国传统文学和世界文学的影响。
61．句意：为了向全世界的观众介绍中国传统文学的魅力和美丽，BBC的一部纪录片邀请了一位著名的英国演员朗读了杜的15首被翻译成英文的诗。all around the world表示“全世界”，是固定搭配，故填(a)round。
62．句意：为了向全世界的观众介绍中国传统文学的魅力和美丽，BBC的一部纪录片邀请了一位著名的英国演员朗读了杜的15首被翻译/转换成英文的诗。由本句的English可知，此处表示杜甫的诗被翻译成了英文，be translated into表示“被翻译成”，be turned into表示“变成”，两者均可，故填(t)ranslated/(t)urned。
63．句意：这部纪录片详细地描述了这位诗人的人生经历。experience表示“经验”，是不可数名词，表示“经历”，是可数名词，两处表达意思均可。故填(e)xperiences/(e)xperience。
64．句意：虽然他经历了起起落落，但这位诗人从未停止过写作，大约有1500首诗流传至今。前句“他经历了起起落落”，后句“从未停止过写作”，两者是让步关系，故填(T)hough。
65．句意：在这些诗中，他常常表达他对国家和穷人的担忧。worry表示“担忧”，是可数名词，此处表达“对国家和人民的担忧”，单复数均可使用。故填(w)orry/(w)orries。
66．句意：中国人真的很重视记录历史，这一点我们总是可以从杜的诗中读到和感受到。此处表示“人们从杜甫的诗中的收获”，feel表示“感受”，find表示“发现”，两者均可使用。故填(f)eel/(f)ind。
67．句意：虽然他从来没有在政府中担任过很高的职位，但杜很关心老百姓。此处修饰position，表示“位置”，由本句可知，他没有担任过很高的职位，high表示“高的”，此处用原形。故填(h)igh。
68．句意：这就是为什么后人认为他是诗圣。be considered as表示“被认为、被当做”，是固定搭配。故填(c)onsidered。
69．句意：杜是中国古代的文化象征，但他的作品和精神也鼓励了中国以外的人。ancient表示“古代的”，此处表示“古代的中国”。故填(a)ncient。
70．句意：正如纪录片所指出的那样，他的作品不仅是中国的，也是全世界的宝贵文化遗产。the whole world表示“全世界”，是固定搭配。故填(w)hole。
