‎2012初中(小升初)英语首字母填空讲练100篇 ‎  如何突破英语首字母填空 首字母填空是小升初考试中常考的题型之一，也是近几年各省、市中考题经常采用的题型之一，这种题难度相对较大，考生失分现象严重。下面就讲一讲做这类题的方法与技巧。‎ ‎　　首字母填空属于能力测试的范畴，它能全面考查学生的英语水平。这类测试要求学生不仅要具备一定的词汇量、句型和语法等方面的知识，还要求学生有一定的阅读能力，能灵活运用所掌握的语言知识去分析语篇。常用的答题技巧如下：‎ ‎1.通读全文，掌握大意 ‎　  每篇短文必然是有逻辑性的，短文段落之间必然承上启下、前呼后应。因此通读全文是必要的，目的是对文章有个全面的了解，弄清其中心思想和大意。反之，只在一点、一处做文章的话，会导致断章取义。但我们要注意通读全文只要能了解短文的大意即可，细节不理解可以跳过，切忌逐字逐句的反复细读。在阅读时要特别注意一篇文章的开头（一般不设空）和结尾，它们能提供主要的信息，帮助了解全文所描述的事件或文章的中心思想。‎ ‎2. 认真分析，巧填单词 我们在了解文章大意的前提之下再次通读短文，目的是对短文有更进一步的了解。要想填出每个空的单词，我们要注意以下方面：‎ ‎（1）依据习惯用法与固定搭配进行填词：如…W           his help, the old man was safe. The boy thanked him very much. 从句意我们就知道是“在他的帮助下”， with his help.‎ ‎（2） 依据语法知识进行填词：如…It was a l            earlier. 从句中的earlier可以看出它是比较级，我们应该会想到修饰形容词比较级有哪些词，前面有a,那肯定就是little.‎ ‎（3） 依据常识的积累进行填词：如…But it was too late. His friend was very angry. Mr. White said nothing but only one word “S          .” Mr. White迟到了，他的朋友很生气，他什么都没说，只说了一个字“S          .”我们根据常识肯定是向他的朋友道歉，所以肯定填sorry.‎ ‎（4）依据逻辑推理与句意理解进行填词：如One Sunday afternoon, Mr. White drove his new car to his friend’s house happily. He wanted to p          his friend up at five and then went to see a new movie together. 根据句意，Mr. White高兴地开着车 去他的朋友家，然后一起去看电影，我们可以进行逻辑推理，他肯定是去接他的朋友，所以填pick.‎ ‎★上面所说的四个方面，我们在填词时一定要注意上、下文的关系，这对于把握文章的整体意义大有用处。另外，要学会跳读，即对不理解的地方采用暂时回避的方式，待真正理解全文之后再找解决的方法。我们在有困难的填空中，可以尝试口头翻译句子的意思，把它前后的句子的意思联系一起，而且翻译的时候尽量是有声的，我们尽量通过不同的途径来刺激大脑的运转。‎ ‎3.细心检查，避免疏漏 完成填空以后最关键的一点是要细心检查每一个填空处是否有笔误或是疏漏的地方。有些考生为自己全部填出了答案而沾沾自喜，根本没想到不是缺了一个“ ’ ”少了“s”，就是忘了加“-ed”，这是很可惜的。因为他理解了意思、看懂了题目，但因粗心而“大意失荆州”。细心检查，反复回读，就能减少疏漏，提高做题的正确率。‎ ‎ 如何做好首字母填空题 ‎ ‎ 首字母填空类短文题是近几年中考试题经常采用的题型之一，因为它有非常好的信度和效度，又能拉开考生间的分差、提高区分度。这种题型属于能力测试的范畴，它考查的范围极广，可以是英语知识的方方面面，还可能涉及其它学科。它要求考生在充分理解短文的基础上将单词拼写出来，并且单词形式合理，符合语法规范，符合短文需要。这种试题的首字母已给，所填的就必须是该字母开头的单词。这既是一种限制，又是一种提示。‎ ‎ 可是这种题型因难度相对较大，考生失分现象比较严重。学生要仔细阅读全文，利用上下文提供的有关信息，再仔细阅读相关句子，判断所缺单词的句子成分，才能完成练习。完型填空式中考试卷中最难的题型，最能测量考生实际运用语言的能力。要做好此类题目，考生不但要有较强的语感，善于体会上下文的内在联系，而且要有扎实的语言知识储备和较大的词汇量。‎ ‎ 考查重点是名词、动词、形容词、副词和代词这几大词类。‎ ² 首字母填空特点及中考趋势：‎ 1) 首字母填空题答题时要求既要使所填的词在语法和语义上正确，又要使其符合短文内容与情景的需要，所给出的词首字母同时起着提示和限定的作用。它不仅考查学生在词汇、语法等方面的基础知识，还考察理解、推导、分析等综合能力。‎ 2) 从近几年的考题来看，短文填空题所考查的单词涉及的词性范围较广，几乎涉及到了十大词类；文中所涉及的语言知识面较宽，学生需运用已学过的词法、句法及常用词组、短语、惯用法等知识进行具体分析后再答题，有一定的难度。文章短小、精致，字数通常在100～150之间。短文的体裁不一，有记叙文、说明文、议论 文等。短文题材丰富，内容通俗易懂，与现代生活紧密相关，如：英国人分期付款购房；度假回来的路上买家具的小故事；食物对不同年龄段的人的不同影响；被驯化的动物可以为人们做事情等，可读性、趣味性强，符合初中生的认知特点。‎ ² 首字母填空的解题方法和技巧：‎ 短文填空题失分率较高，其原因也是较多的。有些同学或急于求成，或过于自信，或为节省时间，在未通读完全文时便匆匆答题。殊不知这样做会适得其反，达不到良好的效果。因此，了解和掌握正确的解题方法和技巧是十分必要的。‎ u 通读全文，了解大意 短文中虽有一些词未知，但不影响对文章主要内容的理解。在初步阅读中，可以跳过空格，尽量捕捉文章所提供的内容信息，以及语法结构方面的提示，有助于下一步的分析与判断。 ‎ u ‎ 再读全文，理清脉络     通读全文、掌握大意后，还应逐字逐句地仔细阅读，从文意中找出句与文、句与句、词与句、词与词之间的关系，尤其是一些不易察觉的、隐含的微妙关系，用已知信息去获取未知信息，以便初步确定答案。在答题过程中，同学们可以把有把握的词先填好，逐步减少空格对阅读造成的障碍，然后再仔细推敲剩下的难题。 ‎ u 仔细推敲，确保准确     词义判断正确了不等于答题正确，同学们还应从词法、句法、惯用法等方面考虑答案的准确性。有的学生经过思考确定了一个意思正确的词作为答案，但忽略了从语法角度再进行验证，因而出现了一些与时态、人称等有关的词形变化的错误。如果填的词是名词，首先要考虑到单、复数的问题；如果是动词，要考虑应使用什么时态和语态。 ‎ u 注意：填入的词既能使句意通顺，又能做到语法、用词搭配的正确。如bought易误答成buy；lights易误答成light；reaches易误答成reach; heavier易误答成heavy等。 因此，在初步确定答案后，一定还要反复考虑，仔细推敲，确保用词准确 u 复读全文，全面检查 ‎ 答题完毕后复读全文，进行核查是必不可少的。做完题后，一定要认真检查，尽量减少粗心所致的笔误或拼写错误，对有疑问的地方，更要根据文章的内容、上下文的语法结构、逻辑发展进行反复斟酌，这样才能尽量避免失分。‎ 专项题型解析：‎ 例题解析：‎ ‎ Dogs are good pets. They are very f  1   to people and also very beautiful. Most ‎ dogs get on very well with c  2   and their parents. Others are good watch-dogs because they cry loudly when a s  3   arrives.     When you buy a dog, an important thing to think about is its  s  4  ——buy a small dog if your home is small and a bigger one if y  5   is larger. Many people don’t know how much to feed their dogs. Dogs eat a  6   anything! They like meat, rice and lots of other things. You can buy lots of food  m  7   for dogs in shops. Don’t let your dogs eat too much. Feed it only once a day. Always l  8   water for your dog. It can get thirsty very quickly, especially in s  9  .     Remember that dogs need e  10  . You should take it for a walk every day. Don’t keep your dog inside all day.‎ 答案及简析     1. friendly. 人们之所以把狗作为宠物来养，主要是因为它们比较通人性，且对人很友好，能给人们带来欢乐。根据“be very f  1   to people”来分析，此空应填一个形容词，表明狗对人的态度。friend是名词，friendly是形容词，故friendly是正确答案。     2. children. 宠物狗自然是在家中养， 它们除了听主人的话以外，与家中的小主人即孩子也是好朋友。由于是指大多数家庭的情况，并受their一词的提示，此处应填“孩子”的复数形式，即children。     3. stranger. 狗的天性是护家。文中的watch-dogs意为“看家狗”，专门指有生人来时发出叫喊的狗。“生人”在英文中即为stranger。     4. size. 这个空略微有点难。一是size一词平时用得较少，二是一般家庭都养小型犬，供狗活动的空间一般不成问题，因此，对狗的体积问题考虑的较少。从后面的句子来看，此处是在谈狗的体积的问题——“如果你的家小，就买一只小狗；如果你的家大，就买一只大狗。”     5. yours. 这是一个名词性物主代词，代替上半句的your home。此句完整的说法应是buy a small dog if your home is small and buy a bigger one if your home is larger. 为避免词的重复使用，在英文句子中常用名词性物主代词代替前面的那个名词。‎ 本文最突出的一个特点就是决大多数需填词的后面都有一句或两句话的内容是对所填词的内容进行补充说明的。因此，在做这种类型的题时，一定要注意分析上下文的内容，进行推理和归纳，正确的理解句意，最后决定出最佳的词及其正确形式。 ‎ 巩固练习：‎ There was an old man who loved money very much. He n  1   gave anything to anybody. After some years he became r  2 ‎ ‎ .     One day he was walking near the river with his friends when he fell into the river. His friends ran to help him. One of them held out his hand and cried, “Give me your hand, and I’ll p  3   you out！”The rich m  4   head went down the water a  5   then came up again, but he did not g  6   his hand to his friend. Again another of his friends tried, but again the s  7   thing happened.     Then a  8   friend, Nasreddin, said, “Take my hand and I’ll pull you out!” The rich man took his hand and Nasreddin pulled him out of the water.     “You don’t know your friend very w 9  .” Nasreddin said to the others. “When you say ‘Give！’ to him, he d  10   nothing, but when you say ‘Take！’ he always takes.”‎ Ø 答案与简析：     守财奴闹出了笑话。文中谈了一次救人的过程，解题时要根据当时的情况特别注意“give”和“take”的妙用。     1. never. 因为love money,所以他决不会“给予”。never意为“从不”。     2. rich. rich是形容词，作表语。由于从不施舍，几年后他就富有了。     3. pull. pull...out意为“把……拉出来”。     4. man’s. head 为名词，要选用man的所有格形式。     5. and. and then...意为“后来又……”。and起并列作用。     6. give. give...to...意为“把……给……”。     7. same. 句意为：又发生了同样的情况。     8. another. another表示不定指的“又一个，另一个”。     9. well. well为副词，know well意思是“很了解”。     10. does. 这句话是引述原话，故用一般现在时。do nothing表示“什么事都不干”。 ‎ 例题解析 A Do you know the word “brunch”? In the West, many people like to have brunch—late (1)b________ or early lunch. People often have brunch (2) b_____ 10 a. m. and 2 p.m. on Sunday because they prefer to get up (3) l_____ after a week's hard work or want to enjoy brunch with their parents, or friends.

You may often see the following (8) f______ on the table, meat, eggs, fruit, (9) v_______, orange juice, tea and bacon. Do you have brunch at (10) w_______? If not, why not try?‎ Ø 答案与解析3：‎ 这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了近年来在西方流行的brunch(早午餐)。brunch 一词是由breakfast 与lunch 中的字母br和unch 合在一起构成的。     1. breakfast, 由下句“early lunch” 和前面的对应词late 可知 brunch 是比breakfast 要晚，而比lunch 要早。 　　2. between, 这里的between…and… 是固定搭配。 　　3. late, 根据句中的状语“on Sunday” 和“after a week's hard work”可知在周末由于人们都在家休息，所以起床会较完。 　　4. way, 对大部分家庭来说，这种brunch只是一种新的放松有趣的进餐方式。 　　5. popular, 目前在西方，brunch 已经成为一种时尚，越来越受到人们的欢迎。 　　6. either, 这是一个等立连词，either…or…，意思是”或者……或者……”。 　　7. look, 由于brunch介于breakfast 和lunch 之间，所以人们在做起brunch 来，既要像breakfast，又要像lunch。look like 的意思就是”看起来好像”。 　　8. food, 根据下面所列举的内容可知答案。 　　9. vegetables, 英语中，以字母v 开头的food 就是vegetables 了。 　　10.weekend, 根据文章的介绍，brunch 是在周末人们所享用的进餐方式。‎ 巩固练习 Most people have f____ a kite or have seen one rise and dip in the strong spring wind.

When our part of the earth turns to the sun, it is d .When our part of the earth turns a    from the sun, it is night.     The sun is much bigger than the moon.

Just then an English p ‎ ‎8 gets the ball. He gives it to Bill, “King of the match”. Bill puts the ball into the goal. In the e_____9 the English team w 10 ‎ Passage 11‎ Today people can u 1 the phone to talk with others almost anywhere on the earth. But when you use the phone, you don’t see the person you are t 2 with. That may c 3 in the future.‎ Today some people are using a kind of telephone c 4 “Picture phone” or “Vision phone”. W 5 it, two people who are talking can see each other. ‎ Picture phones can be useful when you have s 6 to show the person you’re calling. They may have other uses in the future. One day you may be able to ring up a l 7 and ask to borrow a book. Then you’ll be able to read the book right over your picture phone. Or you may be able to go shopping t 8 your picture phone. If you see something in the newspaper that you think you want to buy, you’ll go to your phone and call the shop. People at the shop will s 9 you the thing you’re interested in right over the phone. You’ll be able to shop all over town and n 10 leave your room.‎ Passage 13‎ Some of Robert’s old friends were t 1 about young people in their town. They all a 2 that old people were cleverer than young people. Then one of them said, “But young people are s 3 than old people.”‎ All of them agreed that this is true e 4 Robert. He thought he was as strong as b 5 ‎ ‎“That is not possible,” said his friends.‎ ‎“Well,” said Robert, “In one c 6 of my garden there’s a big stone. When I was ‎ young, I couldn’t m 7 it. I wasn’t strong e 8 Now I’m old and when I try to move it, I s 9 can’t. That’s w 10 I’m as strong as before.”‎ Passage 14‎ In the home a dad is very important. He is the person who provides us w 1 money and clothes. He can make your bedroom more beautiful, mend your radio, make c 2 for your birds, r 3 your bicycle and help you with your maths homework. A dad can be very u 4 for taking you in the car to and from parties, music lessons, and dancing lessons. He is the one who complains about the time you s 5 talking on the t 6 as he has to p 7 the bills. Dad is someone who will support you in an argument, if he b 8 you to be right. He is someone who reads your school r 9 and treats（奖励）you if it is good. A dad likes to come into a nice happy home in the evening, and sit in his chair with a n 10 ‎ Passage 15‎ Can vegetables be p 1 in winter? Yes, but a greenhouse（温室）must be b 2 first. The greenhouse should be m 3 of glass. A large greenhouse may be ten metres l 4 three metres w 5 and two meters high. The sunshine can r 6 the vegetables t 7 the glass. The wind and cold air can be s 8 from getting in. The air inside the greenhouse is always w 9 More and more greenhouses are b 10 built all over the world. All kinds of vegetables can be brought onto our dinner tables in winter.‎ Passage 16‎ Traveling to all countries of the world gets easier and easier, but how well do we know and u 1 each other? Here is a simple test. Imagine(设想) you will hold a m 2 at four o’clock, what time should you e 3 your foreign business friends to come? If they are German, they will a 4 on time. If they are American, they’ll probably be fifteen minutes early. If they are British, they’ll be fifteen minutes late.‎ The British seemed to think since the English l 5 was widely used in the world, what they did was certain to be widely understood. Very soon they f 6 they were completely(完全地) wrong. For e 7 , the British are happy to have a business lunch and discuss business matters with a drink during the meal; the Japanese p 8 ‎ ‎ not to work while eating. Lunch is a time for them to relax and get to know e 9 other, and they don’t drink at lunch. The Germans like to talk about business b 10 dinner; the French like to eat first and talk afterwards. They have to be well fed and watered before they discuss anything.‎ Passage 17‎ Do you k 1 robots? There are a l 2 of robots in the world now. Some of the robots can walk, sing and dance. Some can talk w 3 people. Most of them can do heavy work. In a few m 4 years, a robot will be able to d 5 a car, a train, a ship or a p 6 . In a hospital, a restaurant or a shop, we m 7 see a robot at work. By then, we need n 8 do the cooking or go shopping ourselves. We just give orders(命令) to a robot and it will do a 9 the housework. A robot will be our good f 10 .‎ Passage 18‎ Last May I stayed in Santo Lusa for a week. That was my f 1 trip there. One morning I s 2 out to visit a famous museum, but I didn’t know w 3 way to go, so I stopped a stranger and asked, “Excuse me, does this street lead(通向)to the Grand Museum?” “Yes,” he answered. “Go along this street and turn left at the second crossing. You can’t m 4 it”. So I w 5 two blocks(街区) and turned to my left, but the museum w 6 there. Then I asked a second stranger. He said, “Go along this street and turn left at the second crossing.” But a 7 I couldn’t find the museum. I asked a third stranger and he said the same thing.‎ This time I found the Grand Museum. Just then s 8 walked up and said. “Excuse me. Where’s the nearest b 9 ?” I answered q 10 , “Go along this street and turn left at the second crossing!”‎ Passage 19‎ Do you have a pet? Are you i 1 in taking care of animals? Girls and boys who like animals may want to study to be animal doctors. They’re often c 2 “vets”. Many of them work in animal h 3 . Others may work on farms or at a z 4 . Some study animal diseases(疾病) and try to find w 5 to keep the animals from getting i 6 . They do studies in m 7 for animals.‎ Vets listen to an animal’s h 8 . They check(检查) its ears, eyes, mouth, and blood. They o 9 animals when they need to. They may give the animals ‎ shots(注射) and tell the pets’ o 10 what food is best.‎ Passage 20‎ ‎“I don’t want move!” Fred said to his father. “I like living here in New York City. And I l 1 to play in the streets. My Friends are h 2 . I want to stay!”‎ ‎“We have to m 3 . Fred.” Mr. Sparks said, “I have a n 4 job in the Island. Why d 5 you wait until you see them? Maybe you will like living t 6 .”‎ ‎“Never!” was Fred’s a 7 .‎ A few weeks l 8 , the Sparks family left the city by plane. They f 9 over land for hours. In San Francisco they took a 10 big plane. This time they flew over water.‎ At l 11 they saw land. “This is Hawaii,” Mr. Sparks said. “And it is the island we are to live o 12 . But we will visit the other islands, too. A 13 of them are beautiful.”‎ ‎“I don’t care(关心) w 14 they are like,” said Fred. “I wish I could go b 15 to New York City right now!”‎ Passage 21‎ More and more people are l 1 the life with computers. Using computers you can send E-mail q 2 and easily. You are able to send a letter with pictures and sounds to someone, a 3 in the world without putting a stamp. E-mail can send its message to the other side of the world i 4 seconds(秒). E-mail is easy to use and it s 5 time and money. It serves(服务) for twenty-four hours. So it doesn’t matter if your friends are in bed when you send E-mail to them, or you are seeing a film at the cinema when they send E-mail b 6 .‎ Can you imagine(想象) the future without teachers b 7 computers? Students will teach themselves in the schools of the future. Computers help students develop their own ways of l 8 . Students will follow the learning programmes by looking at online libraries and w 9 lessons by world-class teachers. If they don’t understand something, they will ask other students o 10 or E-mail their teachers. Computers are becoming more and more popular indeed.‎ Passage 22‎ Dear Mum and Dad,‎ I’m very happy to visit Beijing again. Great changes have taken place here.‎ ‎ Yesterday, I went to visit Qiming Middle School---I had lived there f 1 nearly two years. Maybe you don’t believe(相信) I couldn’t find the w 2 there! A taxi driver took me there in the end, he said, “Beijing changes too m 3 . Sometimes even a Beijinger cannot find a way.”‎ Now, English can be h 4 everywhere in Beijing. Many people are attending(参加) English classes in the evening schools, some of them can speak very good English. I’m s 5 the 2008 Olympic can be held in Beijing successfully(成功地).‎ Passage 23‎ A storm dropped(降) heavy rains on central and southern parts of China.‎ The radio says that a 1 the Xiangjiang River in Hunan, floods caused by terrible r 2 in the past weeks killed 25 people and 13 others were missing.‎ The Chinese Government warned some parts in Yunnan and the city of Chongqing of possible heavy rains over the f 3 few days.‎ In Changsha water levels rose(水位上升) to 38 metres early Monday morning, about 3 metres a 4 the danger line.‎ In Guangdong, at l 5 21 people have been killed, while three were s 6 hurt and seven went missing w 7 heavy floods hit northern parts by Saturday.‎ The cities of Shaoguan, Meizhou and Heyuan w 8 hardest hit and many people were left homeless(无家可归).‎ About 620 million yuan has been lost in the floods. Guangdong has sent something u 9 to Meizhou, Heyuan and Shaoguan to help the people who had lost homes build their h 10 again.‎ Passage 24‎ Wang Yani was born in 1975 in Guangdong, China. A 1 a baby, she loved to draw. She drew lines everywhere. She e 2 drew on the walls! Her father was an artist. Yani wanted to be like h 3 . So she tried to stand like her father w 4 he painted. This made him laugh. One day, she d 5 lines on his painting. She was only two and a half years o 6 , but her father got angry. She cried and said, “I want to paint like you!” T 7 her father thought about his own childhood. He also wanted to draw and paint. But his parents c 8 understand him. They just got angry. He decided to help his daughter b 9 an artist.‎ Wang Yani was famous at a young age, b 10 she still has a normal(常人的) life. So ‎ the Wang family lives like everyone else.‎ Passage 25‎ Dear Editor,‎ I used to be a doctor in the children’s department of a local h 1 . Sometimes I treated children w 2 have been poisoned(中毒) by medicine for older family members. The children can easily o 3 the bottle that we now use in China.‎ Some days ago I talked about medicine w 4 an American. He showed m 5 a plastic pill bottle that is “Childproof”(防儿童的). The design was s 6 simple that I’m sure our Chinese factories could produce these b 7 easily. The top of the bottle locks, but can be o 8 by pressing down on it while turning. This is d 9 for most young children to do, b 10 adults can open them without any difficulty.‎ I’m sure that the expense of making such tops would be very low. As a doctor, I’d love to see this done. And most parents would be grateful.‎ Passage 26‎ Climbing a mountain is hard work. But one step after another finally brings a person to the t 1 . Along the way, he can stop and look a 2 . And the h 3 he climbs, the more wonderful his view(视野) is. If he keeps climbing, he will have a new world before him. He will have a new way of t 4 everything.‎ Now learning a f 5 language is something like climbing a mountain. This new language can give you a new view of life. And it is more than a look at the surface(表面) of things. It can open the way into people’s minds and hearts, into a culture(文化) very d 6 from the one of your own. This will make you richer, e 7 in things that money can’t buy. Even though you never set foot on a ship or a plane, you can be an armchair w 8 through books.‎ Like the mountain climber who stops now and then to l 9 at the scenery around him, everyone who is interested in reading will find p 10 in books as he fights on to learn more and more of that new language.‎ Passage 27‎ It was getting dark. Some children and two Canadian women were still s 1 on the ice near a big hotel. They were having a good time.‎ Suddenly the ice b 2 . One of the boys fell into the water. The children ‎ shouted, “Help! Help!” They didn’t know w 3 to do. The two Canadian friends heard t 4 and skated over to get the boy out of the water.‎ The ice was t 5 . The two Canadians fell into the water, too. But they tried their best to r 6 the little boy. They knew they must be q 7 . If they didn’t push him up onto the ice, he would soon die.‎ Many people ran over to h 8 . Some of them had ropes and poles(绳和竹竿). A young man jumped into the water to wave to the o 9 people.‎ The boy and the two Canadian women were out of water at last. One of the women didn’t feel well. She was sent to the h 10 at once. But she felt very happy because the boy was safe.‎ Passage 28‎ Most American families are smaller than the families in other countries. Most American families have one or two p 1 and one or two children each. Children in the US will leave their parents’ home when they grow up. They usually live f 2 from their parents because they want to find good jobs. They often write to their parents or t 3 them. And they often go to v 4 their parents on holiday. Parents usually l 5 their children choose their own jobs. Americans think i 6 important for young people to decide on their lives by t 7 Children are a 8 to do some work around their house. And in many families, children are p 9 for doing some housework so that they learn how to make money for their own u 10 ‎ Passage 29‎ Most people want to work, but it has become m 1 difficult in today's world to find work for e 2 The economies(经济)of the world n 3 to grow by 4% each year just to keep the old number of jobs for people. Often this is not p 4 and so more people are w 5 work. Some people have no jobs now because new machines can d 6 the work of many people in a shorter time. Also, machines don't ask for more money and l 7 holidays. In all of the countries of the world machines are taking work from people, not only in factories but also on f 8 One machine can often do the work of forty people. About 75000 people are m 9 to the cities a day to look ‎ for jobs, but o 10 70% of them can find jobs.‎ Passage 30‎ Someone says, “Time is money,” but I think time is even more i 1 than money. Why? Because when money is s 2 we can get it b 3 However, when time is g 4 it’ll never return. That’s w 5 we mustn’t waste(浪费) time. It’s sure that the t 6 is usually limited(有限的).Even a second is very important. We should make full use of our time to do something u 7 But some people don’t know the importance of time. They spend their limited time smoking, drinking and playing. They do not know that wasting time means wasting part of their own l 8 ‎ In a word, we should save time, we shouldn’t l 9 today’s work for tomorrow. Remember we have no time to l 10 . ‎ Passage32‎ If you don’t use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak; when you start using them again, they will gradually （逐渐地）become stronger again. Everybody knows this. Yet many people do not seem to know that it is the s 1 with memory. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he d 2 give it enough chance to become stronger. ‎ If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we k 3 that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his p 4 are to blame, and f 5 of us know that it is just his own fault. ‎ Have you e 6 found some people can’t read or write but they usually have b 7 memories? This is b 8 they cannot read or write and they h 9 to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They must remember dates, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. ‎ So if you want a good memory, l 10 from these people : practise remembering. ‎ Passage33‎ When I was walking down the street one day, I s 1 a small bag on the ground. I picked it up and opened it to see w 2 I could find out the owner’s name. There was n 3 inside it except some dollars and a picture of a woman and a ‎ young girl about twelve years old. I put the photo back and took the bag to the police station. Before I left, the policeman wrote down my name and my a 4 . He thought the owner might want to thank me.‎ That evening I went to have dinner with my aunt and uncle. They had also asked a young woman to have dinner with us. Her face was familiar, but I couldn’t r 5 where I had seen her. D____6____ our talk, the young woman happened to say that she had l 7 her bag that afternoon. All at once I remembered w 8 I had seen her. She was the young girl in the photo, though she looked now much o 9 than the girl in the picture. She was very s 10 , of course, when I told her about the bag. After dinner we went to the police station and got back her bag. The policeman said to me, “It’s a wonderful thing. You found not only the bag, but also the owner of the bag. ” ‎ Passage34‎ Only mother love is true love. It gives e 1 everything all his life. ‎ When you are still a baby, mother takes good care of you as much as possible. In your waking hours she always holds you in her arms. When you are ill, she stops her work right now to look after you day and n 2 and forgets about herself. When you are growing up day by day, she feels very happy. ‎ When you are old e 3 to go to school, mother still looks after you all the t 4 . On cold winter days, she always tells you to p 5 on more clothes. She always stands in the wind waiting for you back from school every day. When you hurry to leave home for school with little b 6 , she always feels worried about you at home. She u 7 knows about your study and spend much money on your school things. When you do well at school, you will see the brightest s 8 on her face. Mother can do everything for you day after day. ‎ Mother is always ready to give everything she has to her children, not to receive. What true love that is in the w 9 ! We will r 10 Mother Love for ever!‎ Passage35‎ Seumas Mcsporran is a very b 1 man. He is 60 years old and he has thirteen jobs. He is a postman, a policeman, a fireman, a taxi driver, a school-bus driver, a boatman, an ambulance man, an accountant, a petrol attendant, a barman, and an undertaker. Also, he and his wife, Margaret, have a shop and ‎ a small hotel. Seumas l 2 and works on the island of Gigha in the west of Scotland. Only 120 people live on Gigha but in s 3 150 tourists come by b 4 every day. Every weekday Seumas gets up at six and makes b 5 for the hotel guests. At eight he drives the island’s children to s 6 . At nine he collects the post from the boat and delivers it to all the houses on the island. He also delivers the beer to the island’s only pub. Then he helps Margaret in the s 7 . He says：“Margaret likes being busy, too. We n 8 have holidays and we don’t like w 9 television. In the evening Margaret makes supper and I do the accounts. At ten we have a glass of wine and then we go to bed. P 10 our life isn’t very exciting, but we like it.”‎ Passage36‎ Tim spent in a bookshop can be enjoyable. If you go to a good s 1 , no assistant will come near to you and say, “Can I h 2 you?” You needn’t buy a 3 you don’t want. You may try to find out where the book you want is. But if you w 4 , the assistant will lead you there and then he will go away. It seems that he is not interested i 5 selling any books at all. ‎ There is a story which t 6 us about a good shop. A medical student found a very useful book in a shop, but it is too expensive for him to b 7 . He couldn’t get it from the library, e 8 . So every afternoon he went there to r 9 a little at a time. One day, however, he couldn’t find the book from its usual place and was leaving when he saw an assistant signing to him. To his s 10 , the assistant pointed to the book in a corner, “I put it there so as not to be sold out.” said the assistant. Then he let the student go on with his reading.‎ Passage37‎ ‎ ( S=salesgirl; H=Han mei )‎ S: Good morning. Can I help you?‎ H: Yes. I b 1 this blouse last week, but there's something wrong with it. When I w 2 it, the colours ran. I can't w 3 it now. I want you to c 4 this blouse or give me my m 5 back.‎ S: Let me see. Did you wash it in h 6 water?‎ H: Of course not.‎ S: It s 7 as if it hasn't been washed following the i 8 . Did you leave it in ‎ water b 9 you washed it?‎ H: No, I didn't do that, e 10 . I didn't put it in cold water until I washed it.‎ Passage38‎ When you go to England you may find the traffic there is different from ours. As a f 1 . you must be c 2 in the streets, because the traffic d 3 on the left. You must look to the right and then the left before you cross a street.‎ ‎ In the morning and in the evening when people go to or come back from work, the streets are very b 4 . Traffic is most d 5 then.‎ ‎ When you go by bus in England, you have to take care, too. Always r 6 the traffic m 7 on the left. You have to t 8 a look first or you will go to the w 9 way.‎ ‎ In many English cities there are big buses with two f 10 . You can sit on the second one. From there you can see the city very well.‎ Passage39‎ Which animal do we need m 1 ? Dogs? Horses? No! The a 2 to the question is cows. Why cows? Cows give us milk. And milk is one of our most important k 3 of food.‎ Suppose(假设)that all the milk cows make in one year were put i 4 bottles. And suppose these bottles were put side by side. The line of bottles would go all around the world 400 t 5 That is a lot of milk, less than half of it is used for d 6 and cooking. Most of it is u 7 to make butter cheese, ice cream and many other things. It takes many cows to give us that m 8 milk. But not as many as it used to. A cow used to give only about 1,500 quarts(夸脱)of milk a year. Now a fine cow may g 9 more than 3,000 quarts in a year.‎ Why do cows give more milk today? Now farmers have better cows. The cows get better c 10 and better food.‎ Passage40‎ Here’s a part of an e-mail answer from Joe giving some advice to his son in college. “When I was young, I often met t 1  about what to do and what not to do. My grandmother told me not to worry about those things. I o 2  did them once a year or once a lifetime. I 3 , I should try to do well those things, and I do them every day. For example, I need to eat every day, so I should learn ‎ how to c 4 . I need to talk to o 5  every day, so I should learn how to work with d 6  people and know how to s 7 well. I walk every day, so my s 8 should be all right and comfortable. Every night I sleep, so my bed should let me have a good rest. Taking care of the e 9 things m 10  that you do a better job of the one in a lifetime things as well.”‎ Passage41‎ Let me tell you a story. A good friend of mine lives with six hundred animals on an island. Ever s 1 he left school, he has travelled all over the world l 2 for animals for his own zoo. He writes books about his travels, and about his wonderful a 3 . The money for his books helps him to p 4 for all the animal food. My friend told me that when he was looking for water last week (There is not enough water on the island, though there is a lot all around it, he f 5 oil. He n 6 money for his travels and for his zoo, and a little oil would buy e 7 water for a long time, but he knows that if he tells anybody else about it, it will be the e 8 of his zoo and his life’s work. So I think he will not tell anybody e 9 you and me about what he found — because oil and water can’t be p 10 together. Oil may bring greater trouble to his animals than not having enough water. Do you think so?‎ Passage42‎ The u 1 means the earth, the sun, the moon and the stars and the space b 2 them. Many of the stars are so f 3 away that we can not see them. The moon, our satellite, travels a 4 the earth. It has already been visited b 5 man from the earth. Man-made satellites have been sent up i 6 space by many countries. They go round the earth. They are used for helping us to learn more a 7 the earth, the weather and other things. They are also used for sending and r 8 messages. It makes people f 9 different countries understand each other much better. So people say the world itself is becoming a much s 10 place. People call the small place “the global village”. ‎ 答 案 P1 1. river 2. land 3. friends 4.visit 5. uses 6. necks 7. taught 8. finished 9. shopping 10. own P2 1. instead 2. quite 3. gives 4. or 5. different 6. for 7. times 8. used ‎ ‎ 9. making 10. factories P3 1. won 2. difficult/dangerous 3. carefully 4. played 5. early 6. few 7. learn 8. fast 9. safe 10. body P4 1.usual 2.suddenly 3.thought 4. decided 5. pushed 6. shouted 7. everywhere 8. reached 9. lives 10. opening P5 1. traveling 2. money 3. visiting 4. showed 5. on 6. worried 7. where 8. before 9. pay 10. sent P6 1. jokes 2. day 3. laughs 4. thank 5. rest 6. life 7. presents 8. together 9.
