There are 40 blanks in the following 4 passages. Each passage has 10 blanks. You should write the correct words or phrases into the passage.
A puma at large
Pumas are large, (1) animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to (2) , experts from the Zoo
(3) investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.  
The (4) for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a (5) unless it is (6) . The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found (7) to bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully (8) that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and (9) managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is (10) to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.
Thirteen (1) one
Our vicar is always (2) money for one cause or another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired. The big clock which used to
(3) the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since.
One night, however, our vicar woke up with a start: the clock was striking the hours! Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o'clock, but the bell struck thirteen times before it stopped. Armed with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on. In the (4) , he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local (5) . 
'Whatever are you doing up here Bill ?' asked the vicar in surprise.
' I'm trying to repair the bell,' answered Bill.' I've been coming up here
(6) for weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.'
'You certainly did give me a surprise!' said the vicar. 'You've probably
(7) everyone in the village as well. Still, I'm glad the bell is (8) again.'
'That's the trouble, vicar,' answered Bill. 'It's working all right, but I'm afraid that at one o'clock it will strike thirteen times and there's nothing I can do about it.'
'We'll get (9) that Bill,' said the vicar. 'Thirteen is (10) one but it's better than nothing. Now let's go downstairs and have a cup of tea.'
An unknown goddess
Some time ago，an interesting discovery was made by archaeologists on the Aegean island of Kea．An American team explored a temple which stands in an ancient city on the
(1) of Ayia Irini．The city at one time must have been (2) ，for it enjoyed a high level of civilization．Houses--often three (3) high--were built of stone．They had large rooms with beautifully decorated walls．The city was even equipped with a
(4) system，for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets．
The temple which the archaeologists explored was used as a place of (5) from the fifteenth century B.C. until Roman times. In the most (6) room of the temple, clay fragments of fifteen statues were found. Each of these represented a goddess and had, at one time, been painted. The body of one statue was found among(7) dating from the fifteenth century B.C. Its missing head happened to be among remains of the fifth century B.C. This head must have been found in Classical times and carefully preserved. It was very old and precious even then. When the archaeologists (8) the fragments, they were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman. She stood three feet high and her hands (9) on her hip. She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground. Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed, but, so far, the archaeologists have been unable to discover her (10) .
The double life of Alfred Bloggs
These days, people who do (1) work often receive far more money than clerks who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as' white
(2) workers' for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to (3) higher pay for the (4) of becoming white collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.
 When he got married, Alf was too (5) to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the (6) . Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into (7) and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a (8) and changed back into his suit.  Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his 9) . Alf's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office as a junior clerk. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in (10) is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs', not 'Alf'.
