25、owed。3考查副词。空格处修饰过去分词given，故用副词修饰。official 的副词形式是officially (官方地)。4考查介词。go back to“追溯到”，是固定搭配。句意：但是我和熊猫的渊源可以追溯到20世纪80年代中期我做一个电视节目的那些日子。5考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空格处所在的句子是定语从句。定语从句修饰前面的the mid1980s，且从句缺少时间状语，故用when引导该定语从句。6考查非谓语动词。reporter 与permit是被动关系，故用过去分词表被动。过去分词短语permitted to.作后置定语，修饰reporter。7考查非谓语动词。此处用
26、动名词作include的宾语。8考查代词。mother是名词，故此处填it的形容词性物主代词its。9考查名词复数。“every few复数名词”意思是“每隔”。every few days“每隔几天”。10考查冠词。 one.the other.“一个，另一个”为固定结构。.读后续写阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数为150左右。Long ago, there was a big apple tree.
