　　阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
　　For thousands of years，people have told fables(寓言) 61 (teach) a lesson or to pass on wisdom. Fables were part of the oral tradition of many early cultures, and the well-known Aesop’s fables date to the 62 (six) century BC. Yet, the form of the fable still has values today, 63 Rachel Carson says in A Fable for Tomorrow.
　　
Carson uses a simple, direct style common to fable. In fact, her style and tone(口吻) are seemingly directed at children. “There was once a town in the heart of America 64 all life seemed to enjoy peaceful co-existence with its surroundings,” her fable begins, 65 (borrow) some familiar words from many age-old fables. Behind the simple style, however, is a serious message 66 (intend) for everyone.
　　 67 (difference) from traditional fables, Carson’s story ends with an accusation instead of a moral. She warns of the environmental dangers facing society, and she teaches that people must take responsibility 68 saving their environment.
　　The themes of traditional fables often deal with simple truths about everyday life. However, Carson’s theme is a more weighty 69 (warn) about environmental destruction. Carson proves that a simple literary form that has been passed down through the ages can still 70 (employ) today to draw attention to important truths.

答案： 61.to teach 考查非谓语动词 [解析]句意为：几千年来，人们讲述寓言故事是为了给人一个教训或传递智慧。分析句子结构并结合句意可知，此处应用动词不定式表目的。故填to teach。
62.sixth 考查数词 [解析]此处表示公元前6世纪，且其前有“the”修饰，应用序数词。故填sixth。
63.as 考查定语从句 [解析]此处表示正如Rachel Carson在《明天的寓言》中所讲述的那样——寓言的形式如今仍具有价值。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导非限制性定语从句，在句中作“says”的宾语，且指代主句内容，表示“正如，如同”，应用as引导该从句。故填as。
64.where 考查定语从句 [解析]分析句子结构可知，空格处引导定语从句，先行词是“a town in the heart of America”，指地点，关系词在从句中作地点状语，应用where引导该从句。故填where。
65.borrowing 考查非谓语动词 [解析]分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词“begins”，此处应用非谓语动词；borrow与其逻辑主语“her fable”之间构成主谓关系，此处应用其现在分词形式作伴随状语。故填borrowing。
66.intended 考查非谓语动词 [解析]分析句子结构可知，逻辑主语“a serious message”与动词intend之间是动宾关系，此处应用过去分词作后置定语。故填intended。
67.Different 考查词性转换 [解析]固定搭配different from意为“不同于，区别于”。故填Different。注意首字母大写。
68.for 考查介词 [解析]固定搭配take responsibility for sth.意为“对某事负责/承担责任”。故填for。
69.warning 考查词性转换和名词的单复数 [解析]分析句子结构可知，空格前有形容词“weighty”修饰，此处应用名词warning，意为“警示”；根据上文中的“a”可知，此处应用其单数形式。故填warning。
70.be employed 考查动词的语态和情态动词的用法 [解析]分析句子结构可知，主语“a simple literary form”与谓语动词employ之间为被动关系，此处应用被动语态；再根据空格前的“can”可知，此处be动词应用原形。故填be employed。
