（根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）

Crystal was a reporter for her school’s newspaper, The Real Story. She’d done several different kinds of

stories before, but never anything like the story she was about to do. During an interview, the school nurse, Mrs.

Jones, had told Crystal that the school had a secret basement. Crystal was eager to find out what was in the basement.

It could be just about anything! So Crystal asked the newspaper’s advisor, Mr. Adair, if she could do a feature on the

school’s basement. He agreed with her that basement might be a fascinating story, especially since a lot of people

weren’t even aware that it existed.

Crystal got permission from the headmaster to go down into the basement as long as some teachers went

with her. So Mr. Adair and Mrs. Jones accompanied Crystal when she went to explore the basement. The guard

unlocked the basement door, and Crystal and the two teachers slowly descended the narrow staircase. When they

reached the bottom of the stairs, Mrs. Jones turned on the light, and she, Mr. Adair, and Crystal began to look around.

Crystal soon discovered a large set of bookshelves with a collection of old dusty books on them. “What are

those?” she wondered aloud. Neither of the two teachers knew, so Crystal made her way over to look more closely

at the books. They turned out to be yearbooks from every year since the school opened. For almost an hour, Crystal,

Mr. Adair, and Mrs. Jones paged slowly through the yearbooks. They joked about the old-fashioned clothes and hair

in the oldest books, and they commented on some of the people they recognized. All of a sudden, Crystal knew the

next feature she wanted to write. These books were the school’s story just waiting to be told.

69. How did Crystal know about the basement?

A. From Mr. Adair.

C. From the headmaster.

D. From the newspaper.

C. Disappointed.

D. Excited.

Have you ever tried playing the kind of video games that your parents played? The Museum of Science in

Manchester, in the UK, has held an exhibition for the last few years, which invites visitors to do __75__ that. It offers

them the chance to play games from the last 40 years, in various sessions throughout the day.

These video game sessions have now become one of the main attractions of the museum. They are full of

people every day, playing a wide range of games. However, visitors often choose the ones they’re __76__. For parents,

for example, these are usually the games they used to play in their childhood.

There’s also a(n) __77__ purpose to the games. For instance, some old types of computer, dating back 40

years, are also available in the sessions. They were originally used in classrooms to teach pupils to write their won

computer programs. And at the time, it helped lots of young people to do that. Now, the museum is holding workshops

that encourage children to learn similar skills -- and they’re still very popular.

The exhibition also shows how much __78__ technology has made over the last 40 years. Parents can often

remember playing very simple games. But the games that are played today are more complex. They have better story-

amazing games.

A rare experience

Imagine the situation. You’re walking down the crowded high street and s__81__ a complete stranger stops

ou and says, “Hi! You were on the beach in the south of Spain six years ago. How are you doing?” This stranger isn’t

necessarily m__82__. He or she might be a “super - recogniser”. These are people who have the unusual ability to

recognise people they have seen only once -- a long time ago, maybe in a crowed.

Whatever the differences in looks

It doesn’t matter what the person looks like now. People change, get different hair styles, dye their hair or go

grey. Wrinkles, new glasses and makeups give them new a__83__, but the “super - recognisers” can still recognise

them.

An inborn skill

Although scientists have known for a long time that about 2% of people suffer from face - blindness, which

means that they have huge problems recognising faces, they are only new realising that some people are the exact

o__84__.Tests have shown that a “super - recogniser” can identify people that they only saw for a brief moment --

and this is not an ability that we can d__85__, it’s something we are born with.

A great h__86__

The police are starting to use “super - recognisers” to spot criminal faces in videos of crowds. They look for

people with a specific build and facial features like beards and moustaches but they can even recognise quite o__87__

people, with no noticeable features at all. As well as surprising our holidaymaker in Spain six years later, this ability

can be used for a very practical purpose indeed.
