高中英语外刊阅读语法填空May 31 一个微信头像卖到几千万，NFT是致富经还是韭菜刀？I know NFT stands for nonfungible token(非同质化代币). But what does it actually mean?Let's start with the words 1_(they). In economics, "fungible" is a term 2_(use) for things that can be exchanged for other things of exactly the same kind. The U.S. dollar is fungible. But most objects in the physical world, such as cars and houses, are nonfungible, 3_(mean) they have unique qualities.Tokens are units of value stored on a blockchain(区块链). Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, ether and dogecoin are tokens, but not all tokens are meant 4_(use) as money.So nonfungible tokens are sort of like cryptocurrencies, except they have unique qualities and they aren't 5_(necessary) used as money. Why is that important?Well, until pretty recently, nonfungible goods didn't really exist on the internet. The internet essentially works like a giant copy machine any digital file can be duplicated an infinite number of 6_(time), and every copy is exactly 7_same as the original.You can think of NFTs as like the certificate of authenticity(鉴定) you might get if you bought an expensive sculpture. The sculpture could be copied or forged（仿造）, but because you have the certificate of authenticity, you can prove that you are the 8_(own) of the original.I can see why NFTs are an interesting technology. But why would someone pay millions of dollars for one?NFTs aren't unique in their uselessness. People spend money 9_ objects of no practical value all the time maybe to feel good, maybe to show off to their friends, maybe to signal membership in a group. Even if all that NFTs represented was a new class of luxury digital goods, they would still be worth 10_(take) seriously as an emerging industry.keys:1 themselves 2 used 3 meaning 4 to be used 5 necessarily 6 times 7 the 8 owner 9 on 10 taking2 "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" review good-natured magical entertainment神奇动物：邓布利多之谜影评：一部“坚信正义打败邪恶”的魔法娱乐片The magizoologist(魔法动物学家) Newt Scamander returns in the 1_(late) of the "Fantastic Beasts" movies, the prequel-saga of the wizarding world in Britain, America and beyond before Harry Potter's Hogwarts career.The movie takes us into the world of 1930s Europe and Weimar Berlin; Gellert Grindelwald, the evil wizard 2_ once had a close relationship with Albus Dumbledore, happens 3_(be) in prison and is planning to gain absolute control of the wizarding world when he gets out.Newt and Grindelwald have each captured a 4_(vital) important fantastic beast that will play 5_key part in the voting process and now Dumbledore is directing a new crew of good guys to tackle Grindelwald's malevolent strategy.By taking in fascism and the 6_(approach) world war, the film is gesturing at something overwhelmingly evil, and yet by the end you might find the essentially non-committal storytelling style of franchise film-making, with its suspended resolutions, works against this.Then there is the question of the looming Potter world. We meet famous Hogwarts teachers in 7_(they) youth, although if we assume that "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was happening around the end of the 20th century, we might pedantically ponder the fact 8_ this would make key teaching staff at that time around 100 years old. Magic preserves(保持) youth, clearly.And what of Grindelwald himself? Is he more 9_ less important and evil than Voldemort（伏地魔）? Well, surely Rowling(罗琳) has all this 10_(map) out. It's good-natured entertainment, though there is still something weightless and formless about the narrative.keys:1 latest 2 who 3 to be 4 vitally 5 a 6 approaching 7 their 8 that 9 or 10 mapped3 如何早起才能不毁一天？Prepare the night beforePrepare 1_ you can the night before, says Dr Hazel Wallace, a locum doctor and the author of The Food Medic from your packed lunch to laying out your clothes. Vicky Silverthorn, a professional organiser, suggests 2_(leave) necessary 3_(item) by the front door, or using sticky notes as reminders. Checking the weather forecast, keeping your calendar up to date and taking care of any time-intensive grooming routines 4_ night before will also help you feel more 5_(prepare).Take a few minutesMany of 6_(we) make the mistake of reaching for our phones first thing. Instead, Silverthorn encourages starting the day with at least five minutes away from gadgets(电子产品), perhaps spent making a cup of tea and sitting down 7_(drink) it in peace. "That is vital for me every morning. It's five minutes to get your head together. You can say it's hard, but five minutes is doable." The 8_(day) commute can also be made less stressful with a few tweaks, says Wallace. Check for delays, leave in plenty of time, wear 9_(comfort) shoes and have a book or a podcast ready 10_ your journey.keys:1 what 2 leaving 3 items 4 the 5 prepared 6 us 7 to drink 8 daily 9 comfortable 10 for学科网（北京）股份有限公司
