The energy is there for anyone to use, and no formal training 35 (require). When you have the intent to heal, and love is your only motive, you become a channel for healing energy. Through the simple touch of hands, you can use that universal healing energy to comfort those who 36 (experience) pain or distress. In performing healing energy work, it is necessary that you let your intuition (直觉) guide you to the affected area. Just imagine a healing light being drawn in through the top of yourhead and flowing through your hands. The energy will begin to flow once you have made a physical connection, and your t ouch will help awaken the body’s capacity for self-healing. The affected areas of the body, 37 were previously tense or tight, will relax with enough healing energy. 38 (try) not to feel like you aren’t helping if you don’t feel the flow. The work you are doing is indeed helping.Understanding 39 energy works is less important than consciously making use of it. Performing a loving healing treatment on your loved ones can be a wonderful experience that brings you closer together.

Spanish monks let the secret out back home and, 5__________ the Spanish hid it from their neighbors for a hundred years, finally chocolate’s popularity grew until it was their fashionable drink at the French court and the wise choice of customers at London meeting houses.The cacao tree is strictly a tropical plant only in hot, rainy climates. Thus, its cultivation 6___________(limit) to countries not more than 20 degrees north or south of the equator (赤道). The cacao tree is very delicate and sensitive. It needs protection from the wind and requires a fair amount of shade under most conditions. This is true especially in its first two or three years ofgrowth. A newly planted young cacao tree is often sheltered by a different type of trees. It is normal to plant food crops for shade 7_________ ________ bananas, plantain, coconuts or cocoyams. Rubber trees and forest trees are also used for shade. Once 8___________(establish), however, cacao trees can grow in full sunlight, provided there are fertile soil conditions and intensive farming. With cutting and carful cultivation, the trees of strains will begin bearing fruit in the fifth year. With extreme care, some strains can be stimulated to produce good crops in the third and fourth year.Since the Swiss made the major breakthroughs in the process in the late 1800s, the process of turning cacao into chocolate 9___________(not change) much. First the beans go through a process of fermentation and drying. They are then sorted by hand before cleaning and then roasting. Winnowing follows which removes the hard outer layers and leaves 10_________ is as the “grains”.A crushing and heating process known as Hunte’s Process is then used to remove nearly half of the cocoa butter from the nibs. This makes unsweetened chocolate. Basic eating chocolate is made from a mixture of the unsweetened chocolate with some of the cocoa butter along with other ingredients such as sugar and vanilla. The resulting product is then “purified” and this purifying gives chocolate the silky texture that we know so well. The finished result is then shaped, cooled, packaged by machine, distributed, sold and of course, eaten!参考答案1.to come,考察不定式做序数词后的后置定语2.how much,考察宾语从句3.that,考察强调句,it is not until…that4.adding,考察动名词做宾语5.although,考察状语从句6.is limited,考察谓语,时态语态主谓一致7.such as,考察两空的介词8.established,考察过去分词,状语从句的省略9.hasn’t changed,考察谓语,时态语态主谓一致,现在完成时10.what,考察宾语从句,做leave的宾语31__________(identify) the chemical makeup of pigment used in ancient documents, paintings, and watercolors is critical to restoring and conserving the precious artworks. However, 2__________numerous efforts, scientists had been unable to determine the source of folium, 3__________ popular blue dye used to color manuscripts in Europe during the middle ages — from the 5th to the 15th century. Now, a team of researchers from Portugal has finally uncovered the mysterious ingredient responsible for the gorgeous blueish-purple color 4_________ helped bring ancient illustrations and texts to life.The research team began by poring over instructions penned by European dye makers from the 12th, 14th, and 15th centuries. They found 5_________ they were seeking in a 15th-century text entitled The Book on How to Make All the Color Paints for Illuminating Books. However, translating the instructions was no easy task. It was written in the now extinct Judaeo-Portuguese language, and though the source of the dye was traced back to a plant, no name was mentioned.However, by piecing together suggestions from the text, the scientists were able to determine that the dye was made from the bluish-green berries of the chrozophora tinctoria plant. After an extensive search, the team found a few varieties of the plant growing along the roadside near the town of Monsaraz in south Portugal.The 6___________(detail) instructions gave the researchers critical clues — including the best time to pick the berries. “You need to squeeze the fruits, being careful not to break the seeds, and then to put them on linen(亚麻).” The scientist says the detail was important since broken seeds polluted the pigment, producing an inferior quality ink. The dyed linen, which was left to dry, was an efficient way to store and transport the pigment during ancient times. When needed, the artist would simply cut off a piece of the cloth and dip it with water 7___________(squeeze) out the blue color.Once the key ingredient 8_____________(identify), the researchers began to determine the dye’s molecular structure. To their surprise, they found that folium was not like any other known permanent blue dyes — it was an entirely new class of color, 9________ they named chrozophoridin.“Chrozophoridin was used in ancient times to make a beautiful blue dye for painting.” the team wrote in the study. “Thus, we believe that this will not be our final word on this amazing plant and its story and 10________ further discoveries will follow soon.”参考答案1.Identifying,考察动名词做主语2.despite,考察介词3.a,考察冠词4.that/which,考察定语从句5.what,考察宾语从句6.detailed,考察过去分词做定语7.to squeeze,考察不定式表目的8.had been identified,考察谓语,时态语态主谓一致9.one,考察代词,做同位语10.that,考察宾语从句,believe后两个宾语从句。

For some people, romantic composers such as Chopin and Tchaikovsky enhance feelings of love and sympathy. Religious and spiritual music 25 help some people feel peace or lessen their pain.

Through the simple touch of hands, you can use that universal healing energy to comfort those who 36 (experience) pain or distress.In performing healing energy work, it is necessary that you let your intuition (直觉) guide you to the affected area. Just imagine a healing light being drawn in through the top of your head and flowing through your hands. The energy will begin to flow once you have made a physical connection, and your touch will help awaken the body’s capacity for self-healing. The affected areas of the body, 37 were previously tense or tight, will relax with enough healing energy.38 (try) not to feel like you aren’t helping if you don’t feel the flow. The work you are doing is indeed helping.Understanding 39 energy works is less important than consciously making use of it.
