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。
Xiao long bao (soup dumplings), those amazing constructions of delicate dumpling wrappers, encasing hot, 56 (taste) soup and sweet, fresh meat, are far and away my favorite Chinese street food. The dumplings arrive steaming and dangerously hot. To eat one, you have to decide whether 57 (bite) a small hole in it first, releasing the stream and risking a spill (溢出)， 58 to put the whole dumpling in your mouth, letting the hot soup explode on your tongue. Shanghai may be the 59 (recognize) home of the soup dumplings but food historians will actually point you to the neighboring canal town of Nanxiang as xiao long bao’s birthplace. There you will find them prepared differently — more dumpling and less soup, and the wrappers are pressed 60 hand rather than rolled. Nanxiang aside, the best xiao long bao have a fine skin, allowing them 61 (lift) out of the steamer basket without tearing or spilling any of 62 (they) contents. The meat should be fresh with 63 touch of sweetness and the soup hot, clear and delicious.
No matter where I buy them, one steamer is 64 (rare) enough, yet two seems greedy, so I am always left 65 (want) more next time.
答案解析：
56. "tasty" ，形容词，用来修饰后面的名词 "soup"，表示“美味的汤”。
57. "to bite" ，不定式，用于 "whether" 后面，表示选择做某事。
58. "or" ，连词，用于连接两个选择，表示“或者”。
59. "recognized" ，过去分词，作定语修饰 "home"，表示“被公认为的家园”。
60. "by" ，介词，表示方式，这里指“用手按压而不是滚圆”。
61. "to be lifted " ，根据搭配allow sb. to do sth.“允许某人做某事”可知，空格需用动词不定式作宾语补足语，补足语lift out与宾语them(指代小笼包)是逻辑上的动宾关系，空格需填动词不定式的被动式to be lifted，故填to be lifted。
62. "their" ，形容词性物主代词，用来修饰 "contents"，表示“它们的内容”。
63. "a" ，不定冠词，用来修饰后面的名词 "touch"，表示“一丝甜味”。
64. "rarely" ，副词，表示“很少”，用于修饰 "enough"。
65. "wanting" ，现在分词，作宾语补足语，表示“想要更多的”。
