核心考点聚焦
考点一:学法指导
1. 总述
首字母填空既考查学生对语法、词汇、句型、搭配等基础知识的综合运用能力,也考查了学生对文章的阅读理解能力。其中,着重考查学生在具体的语境中运用语言知识的能力,根据文章内容进行合理的逻辑推断和分析概括的能力。一般来讲,在考试中,七个首字母,会涉及到不同词性。以名词、动词、形容词和副词为主,虚词为辅。
2. 解题技巧
(1) 通读全文,了解大意
通读全文的目的是能够做到整体把握文章,迅速的了解文章大意,并且对文章的整体结构和中心思想有一个基本的了解。通读全文时,不宜看一空填一空,以免造成所填答案不符合全文的要求。
(2) 把握段首句
中考的首字母往往以议论文为主,而段落的开首句,往往揭示了整段的段意。因此在考试中,把握好段首句,可以窥探到整段的全貌,以首句的时态,意义为立足点,可以方便我们判断整段的大意及主题。
(3) 抓住关键词
文章的展开是按照一定的逻辑关系的,因此在文章中,作者也会使用一些关键的表现逻辑关系联词,例如:but、so、in addition等。这些关键词,可以帮助我们联系上下文展开合理的逻辑分析,了解所提问的特定语境和语篇的内在关系。
(4) 熟悉考纲词组的固定搭配
考纲搭配在中考的考查中占据了重要的位置,而在首字母中,也出现过直接考查固定搭配的情况,因此,在平时的学习过程中,需要巩固好考纲词组。
(5) 联系上下文解题
在解题过程中,应当遵循“先易后难”的原则,当遇到解不出的题时,应当跳过。首字母填空着重考查学生对上下文的理解,因此,很多情况下,随着下文的展开和文章的深入,前面填不出的词,在下文中会有提示。因此,学生在作答时,应当加强联系前后文,充分利用上下文中的有效信息,确定答案。
(6)重读文章,检验答案
当全部答完后,一定要把文章重新读一遍。查看文章是否通顺,语法是否有误。如果发现有不顺畅的地方,则需要再进行推敲。个别单词的形式要着重注意。例如:动词的时态,名词的单复数以及形容词副词的级。

For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift that would shape his life. On that day his father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year.
To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but n 1 of them kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin’s artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, some still unopened. This time Lin’s parents would let him d 2 .
Lin’s eyes moved down the noticeboard that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at “Photography”. He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. A 3 Lin’s family weren’t poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking.
The next course to catch his eye was “Language Art”. He didn’t e 4 know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, to him it couldn’t be worse.
Then he saw it. “Cooking” sounded like something he’d like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative.
Based on Lin’s hobby history, his dad had doubts (疑惑), but he agreed. Much to his parents’ s 5 , Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practised at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to b 6 , when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others.
The months turned to years but his hobby never became different again. Now Lin is an adult and r 7 a wonderful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago.

Whenever the house gets quiet, Mrs. Smith knows just where to find her 6-year-old daughter Maria: lost in the world of stories.
“I like to read every time of the day,” said Maria, a student at Creel Elementary School in Australia.
Maria’s headmaster, Mrs. White, wants e 8 of her 850 students and their families to learn the love of reading this year. She wants reading at home to become an activity of choice in every family, even during holiday breaks. “I truly realize reading should be an important part of everyone’s life, and n 9 should stop it.” said Mrs. White.
“The aim we want most of all is to help children understand they can enjoy reading, as well as p 10 their skills,” said Hannas, an education researcher. He suggested parents take their children to the library and allow them to pick out books that i 11 them.
Each night, students take home two books to read with their parents or other family members. They have to r 12 the books the next day with a signed note from their parents showing that the books were read, and have passing tests that check how well they understand the books.
“We’re trying to get parents into the h 13 of reading with their kids.” said the headmaster. “Nothing is better than sitting on a sofa with your child and reading and laughing.”
T 14 books, Mrs. Smith, a parent, said she’s able to give her two daughters more experiences than she could.
“I think reading opens all the doors and creates imaginations in children,” she said, “I think if you read well, you can succeed in anything in life.”
(23-24九年级下·上海浦东新·阶段练习)When accidents become inventions
Have you ever notice the little accidents in your life? Sometimes accidents are g 15 . They can even change your life—many useful things were invented by accident.
For example, at first, jeans were o 16 for workers. They were very s 17 and people didn’t make them become weak easily. But other people found they could last for a long time without breaking or getting weaker as well. Later on, jeans became popular all over the world.
When you see colorful fireworks, you probably don’t think about the Chinese cook who invented them in old times by accidents. He mixed together some common things from the kitchen. The m 18 burnt and made a beautiful light.
The invention of the Band-Aid was also a surprise. About 90 years ago, Earle Dickson worked at Johnson & Johnson. His wife was always accidentally cutting her fingers in the kitchen, but she couldn’t bandage herself up. Dickson decided to make something to help his wife cover her cuts. So he used a piece of gauze and put it on some tape. Later, his boss made this into a popular product: the Band-Aid.
Nowadays, microwave ovens are popular around the world. But in the b 19 , people invented the microwave for the war. American Percy Spencer found that microwaves could cook. He saw a candy in his pocket getting soft when he worked b 20 the microwaves. Spencer then did many tests to p 21 that microwaves could cook food. In 1947, the first microwave oven in the world came into being.

Have you ever been stuck for words? Knowing what to say and when to say it isn’t always easy—but we can learn, practise and improve.
What does communication mean?
Communication is how we s 22 information and it helps us connect with others. When you have a conversation with someone, you’re not just exchanging words. You are also expressing yourself by controlling your voice and using body language. Conversation s 23 include starting conversations, using eye contact, knowing what to talk about and taking turns to speak and listen.
What are the b 24 of conversation?
Having a conversation is great for exchanging thoughts and feelings. Listening helps you to discover new ideas and understand other people’s feelings because you are seeing things t 25 someone else’s eyes. Radio presenter Emma Barnett says, “Of all the many different ways we communicate, talking sends out your message best because it’s easier to understand what someone a 26 means. Good communication opens up understanding, feeling and emotion.”
What makes a good conversation?
Taking turns to talk is an essential part of a conversation. Some people have a lot to say; others need encouragement to speak, so make sure e 27 has a chance to join in. Listen carefully to what the other person is saying and don’t be afraid to ask questions or express your opinions. Body language sends out messages about how we feel, so make sure you look at someone while speaking to them. If you see them nodding and smiling, this means they’re showing i 28 . If they are looking away, it could mean they want to end the conversation. Advice expert Annalisa Barbieri believes listening is the most important part of a conversation. “It’s all about paying attention,” she says.

One morning before going off to work, I called my cat Socky to be fed, but she didn’t come. Socky was going to be a mother cat. I thought she had probably found somewhere to have her kittens and would turn up later. But when Socky didn’t come at dinner time, or the next day, I really started to w 29 .
Socky had a habit of having her kittens in strange places, so I checked all her hidey-holes but she wasn’t in any of them. The next day was Saturday and I had the w 30 day to search for her. I went into the garage, checked the places under and behind old books, but no Socky.
After lunch I took some food with me in case I found her. I began searching the backyard. There were a lot of cardboard boxes full of junk and empty boxes. After about an hour of m 31 cardboard boxes from one place to another and back again, I was tired. I sat down on a pile of boxes to have a r 32 when I heard mewing (sound of cats).
I put my head up against each of the boxes and had to carry each one carefully before I could look i 33 . Finally, I found Socky and her three tiny kittens. I could imagine when Socky jumped into one of the boxes, some higher ones f 34 and covered her. Socky was very pleased to see me. Although she was so w 35 , she just jumped to ground. She managed to eat the food I brought her.
I named the three kittens shortly after. They soon became lovely and healthy cats and all grew up to be great mouse catchers just like their mother.

A pack rat① named Poncho had a big storeroom for all his things. Every day, Poncho went outside. He came back with leaves for lunch, seeds for supper and other things to f 36 his storeroom.
One day, as Poncho was walking, he saw a shiny golden spoon. He picked up the spoon and took it home.
“Oh no,” said Poncho, looking around his storeroom. “There’s no s 37 for my spoon. I’ll have to move things around to find a place for it.” But he failed.
“I’ll sort my things into two piles,” Poncho said to himself. “I’ll make a pile of things I want to s 38 and a pile of things to throw away.” When Poncho finished sorting, he didn’t have two piles. He had one pile. He wanted everything. He was sad because his plan had not worked.
Then an idea came to Poncho’s mind. “I know how I’ll make room for my spoon! My birthday is coming soon. I can have an amazing party.”
Poncho made an i 39 .

The party turned w 41 . The guests shouted happily, chose what they like and showed appreciation to Poncho. And he waved goodbye to all his friends.
“Now I will bring in my shiny spoon,” Poncho said happily. He went out and took the spoon inside. He stood in the center of the storeroom and looked around, “Tomorrow I will go out and get a few m 42 things. After all, why have a storeroom if you don’t store things in it?”

Plants “Talk”
Scientists have known for years that plants respond to sounds around them. But now scientists in Israel have shown that plants also seem to be doing some “talking”.
Professor Hadany and her team at Aviv University set up microphones to r 43 tomato plants under different situations. The result showed that the plants made ultrasonic sounds (超声波) . When the researchers changed the sounds into ones that humans could hear, they heard sharp clicking noises (咔哒声) .
As the scientists studied the sounds, they notice the regularity. Plants h 44 clicked when they had enough water. But as their soil (土壤) got drier, they began to click.
When scientists cut off a stem from the plants, the plants also clicked more. But the clicking wasn’t the same as when the plants needed water. The result suggests that researchers may one day be able to use a plant’s sounds to find out when it is having trouble, and what trouble it is having. That could be very helpful to f 45 .
The other research has shown that plants also make sounds to communicate in some ways. When insects a 46 a plant, it will give a warning to its neighbours. Soon, nearby plants start to make chemicals that don’t taste good to insects. It’s an effective way for plants to p 47 themselves.
Then here is a question: Is anything listening to the plants? Dr. Hadany points out that mice who live on plants can hear the sounds. The clicks may tell them whether a plant has problems. If the plant isn’t h 48 , they will avoid it.
As Dr. Hadany says, “Even in a quiet field, there are actually sounds that we don’t hear, and those sounds carry i 49 . The team’s research has already changed our ideas about plants.”

Is the cinema better than home?
For more than 100 years, going to the cinema with friends and family to watch brand-new films has been a tradition that lots of people have loved. Not only is it a great experience to sit in comfortable seats and eat a bucket of popcorn, but it’s a c 50 to watch the latest films on the big screen. However, with the growth of streaming services (流媒体服务) in recent years, and the closing of cinemas during the Covid-19 pandemic, some people have realized it’s easier and more convenient to watch films in their own home. Lots of exciting films have been r 51 in the last year, but some people would rather watch them at home than at the cinema. What do you think? Are cinemas the best place to watch films?
Yes—it’s an a 52 experience
Going to the cinema is a really fun activity to enjoy with friends and family. It’s a good time to leave the house, enjoy a film with other people, and even eat some delicious popcorn. Nothing beats the experience of going to the cinema. It’s a wonderful combination (结合) of extremely surprising visuals on a large screen, with great surround s 53 . It’s very easy to lose yourself in a film while at the cinema. Lots of films are specially made for the big screen and films are not as good when viewed on a TV or laptop. It’s much easier to be distracted (分心) by other things at home, like someone wanting to s 54 the film to get a drink. Seeing a film at the cinema avoids distractions; it requires your full attention and it feels special.
No—they’re too expensive
It can cost a lot of money to go to the cinema, especially when the whole family is going together. People don’t j 55 have to pay for tickets but snacks and drinks too. Most popular films usually stay in the cinemas for around four weeks, and sometimes it doesn’t take long before they’re available on streaming services. There’s no n 56 to see films at the cinema if they’ll be available to watch at home in a month or two. Streaming films is much easier too, because people have more contral over when they watch the film and can pause (暂停) it whenever they like.
(23-24九年级下·上海浦东新·阶段练习)In the Renaissance Period (文艺复兴时期) (1500—1650), people became interested in higher education. They wanted to learn the a 57 languages such as Greek and Latin languages that were used in the old times, and study mathematics, science, and so on. Many universities were set up during the 16th century.
University education was a privilege (特权) of the rich. Girls were not allowed to attend and poor people could not a 58 to go. A member of a wealthy family could attend university at the age of ten. He might study in different universities and since the teaching was all d 59 in Latin, it didn’t matter which country he studied in. It was not unusual for a young boy study one year in Italy and another in France without speaking either French or Italian.
It was possible in the 16th century to c 60 university without learning how to read or write. Since books were handwritten, there was not enough to give one to each student. Often, only the teacher had a book. He would read to the students who would memorize what he said. Tests were oral, not written. In fact, many students finished school without ever writing a word.
For the not so wealthy, grammar schools were built in towns. They learned basic grammar and mathematics, and took part in Bible study. At home, girls learned washing, cooking,dancing, and the basics of taking care of a household. Poor children r 61 attended school.
The renaissance was a time when learners did not simply accept what they were old. They did scientific experiments themselves to search for a 62 to the mysteries of the space. Copmicus calculated that the Earth turned around the sun but was afraid to publish his works for f 63 that the Church would punish him. Calileo later supported this. The watch, the telescope and some others were some inventions of this period.

As we went back and forth about w 64 to do next, our girls jumped in and told us exactly what they wanted to do. “We want to go to the butterfly museum,” said Ariela and Eliana.
As soon as we walked into the m 65 area of the museum, we saw thousands of beautiful butterflies, all flapping their colorful wings.
My girls were jumping up and down, and I knew we had made the right d 66 to come to the museum. They were having so much fun.
I t 67 to our museum tour guide because I was curious, and asked, “How long do butterflies live?” She said, “About ten days.” “What can butterflies do in ten days?” I asked. The guide stopped, looked at me, and said, “They make the world a m 68 beautiful place.” “Wow,” I said, “I never thought about butterflies like that. Thank you.”
After we said goodbye, I couldn’t stop thinking about what the guide had said. She was right. We all have something to o 69 the world with the time we have. When we focus our gifts on taking care of each other every day, we can make a d 70 .

My voice matters
Scientists have found that putting our feelings into words makes us feel less sad or angry. Sharing our thoughts can r 92 our worries and help us feel happy.

She says it means “Sharing your views, thoughts and feelings and being open to hearing the thoughts, feelings and views of others too.” Making yourself heard isn’t about shouting the loudest; In fact, you don’t have to use your voice at all. “You can express what you like, don’t like or what you want by writing or d 95 instead”, says Dr. Gray. “It’s about finding ways to share what matters to you,” she explains.
Why is “My Voice Matters” i 96 ?
Sharing your feelings with a person you trust will help you understand yourself better. Scientists have discovered that sharing your feelings causes a chemical in your brain that makes you feel relaxed. Meanwhile, your voice can make a big difference to others, too. Dr. Gray says, “You can show your feelings d 97 by speaking face-to-face. With a few kind words, you could help others feel good about themselves or let them know they are supported.”
How can you find your voice?
Dr. Gray suggests talking with friends or parents on the way home from school. “If it’s difficult for you to express yourself, find a way that is r 98 for you, whether it’s talking face-to-face or writing it down. When you’re ready, take a deep breath and believe in yourself,”says Dr. Gray.

In 2013, Diana Nyad became the first person to swim from Cuba (古巴) to Florida (美国弗罗里达州) without the help of a shark cage, at age 64.
Diana was born in New York City but moved to Florida after her graduation from college. She began swimming at the age of 10 and showed t 99 and love for the sport from an early stage. Under the coach of Jack Nelson, the former (昔日的) Olympic swimmer, she won a lot of long-distance swimming competitions during the 1960s and 1970s. Diana became well-known for setting a new r 100 for swimming around the island of Manhatan (曼哈顿岛) in 1975 in a time of 7 hours and 57 minutes.
At the age of 28, Diana tried to swim from Cuba to Florida for the first time, but was unsuccessful after high winds forced her to give up the journey. After experiencing v 101 injuries and health problems, Diana felt the need for new challenges beyond the pool. At the age of 30, she became a journalist in broadcast. Diana loved her new job, but from the bottom of her heart, there still was an u 102 goal.
After 30 years of no swimming, Diana began training at age 60 with the goal of finishing what she started. In 2011, she failed the Cuba-to-Florida swim t 103 , first making it 29 hours and then 41 hours. The swim was too difficult and full of danger. During the long and tiring journey, Diana had met with terrible storm and deadly sea animals such as sharks and box jellyfish (箱形水 母). But every time Diana failed, she was ready to fight back. In August 2012, after she had spent 60 hours in the water, a lightning storm and other problems stopped her for the fourth time.
In 2013, 35 years after her first try, the 64-year-old Diana planned to swim from Cuba to Florida for a fifth time. After 52 hours 54 minutes and 18 seconds, Diana completed the historic swim with the help of a crew of doctors, scientists and navigators on September 2. She finally became the first person to a 104 the close-to-impossible goal.
In her book Find a Way, Diana sent us three messages:
1.We should never ever give up;
2. It’s never too old to chase your dreams;
3. The swim looks like an individual sport but a 105 it needs a team effort.
(2024·上海奉贤·一模)The Value of Timekeeping
Are you often late for things? Do you wish you could be more on time? Lots of people find it difficult to be on time. As the new school year starts, it’s good to brush up on timekeeping skills.
Being punctual means being able to arrive somewhere, complete a task or meet someone at an agreed time. Examples i 106 getting to your classroom before the lesson begins, handing in your homework on time and arriving at a friend’s house when you say you’ll be there.
Being late can feel stressful, not only for yourself but for the people around you. It also makes it easy to f 107 something important. “When I’m late, I feel disorganized and panicky (恐慌的).” says a student called Freddie. “But when I’m on time, I’m more r 108 because I don’t have to run around looking for things.”
Being on time also makes you feel more prepared. Finishing a project early gives you e 109 time to make improvements. Packing your bags the night before a match or performance allows you to feel calmer and more focused the next day. By being punctual, you’re telling yourself that your time matters, and you’re showing other people that you’re reliable and you r 110 time, too.
Grace Pacie is an author who writes about lateness. She believes there are lots of reasons why people aren’t punctual. Some aren’t good at measuring time; others dislike being early and waiting around. Pacie believes you can learn to be more punctual by arranging to meet a friend on the way to school b 111 this will make you get out of the door earlier. Or, if you don’t like waiting around, try arriving early but fill your time with something interesting like listening to music or reading a book. It’s not always easy to change timekeeping h 112 . Taking small steps towards becoming more punctual can help you feel calmer and more organized.
(2024·上海嘉定·一模)We know animals have emotions. They can feel fear. We also think they feel love, since they have strong relationships with each other. So are animal emotions s 113 to our own? And do animals have a sense of humor?
A Parrot’s Joke
Sally’s parrot Bongo didn’t get along with her a 114 parrot, Paco. In fact, Bongo clearly didn’t like Paco at all! One day, Sally cooked a chicken for dinner. She started to cut the chicken with a knife.
“Oh, no! Paco!” Bongo said loudly and laughed. Sally laughed, too, and said, “That chicken is not Paco.” “Oh…no,” said Bongo. This time, she sounded d 115 . Then the parrot laughed at her own joke.
Yoga Dog
Jean enjoys yoga and so does her dog Buffy. W 116 Jean does yoga, Buffy carefully places her toys on Jean’s body. If a toy falls, Buffy runs to put it b 117 . Does this behavior have any real purpose? “She thinks it’s funny!” says Jean.
Animal Laughter
Can dogs “laugh”? Recent research shows that dogs can tell each other when they want to play. They make a special sound a kind of “laugh.”Psychologist (心理学家) Patricia recorded the sound. Then she played it to dogs and s 118 their behavior. “All the dogs seemed to like the laugh,” says Patricia. So do animals have a sense of humor? If laughter is a clue, then p 119 the answer is “yes!”.

The human body is a complex machine. From the day we were born, our bodies grow and change in response to our e 120 , diet, and habits. The body has many different organ systems and parts that work together to allow us to breathe, move, see, talk, and digest food all at the same time. Most of the time we don’t care what is happening in our bodies; usually it is only when we get sick or feel pain that we notice.
Many people do not take enough care of their complex machines. Bad habits like smoking, drinking too much alcohol, and eating junk food damage our bodies. Stress can also cause h 121 problems. People who worry a lot or have busy jobs often don’t get enough sleep, or don’t eat properly. We also damage our bodies by playing sports or having accidents. B 122 , a recent survey in the U.K. found that 14 percent of people had visited a hospital clinic in the previous three months. The two most c 123 reasons were for injury and poisoning.
Just like any machine, different body parts sometimes go wrong from old age. In fact, a study in the U.S. found that 60 percent to 70 percent of all patients in the Emergency Room were aged 75 or over. Luckily, older people who s 124 from an illness or injury can now receive treatment to help extend their lives. Due to the increase in the population of elderly people, gerontology (老年医学) is now one of the fastest g 125 areas of medicine. It is now common for older people with damaged joints, for example, to have surgery to replace the old joint with a new one made of plastic or metal.
As with any machine, the better you take care of it, the longer it will last. Of course, the best way to take care of your amazing machine is to eat the right foods, do sports r 126 , and get enough sleep.
Oh, and don’t forget to smile!

Dear past humans,
I am writing to you from the future, a time beyond your imagination. I want to share with you what our world has become and how it differs from the one you live in.
Firstly, let me tell you that we have made incredible (难以置信的) progress in many a 127 . Medicine has advanced to the point where we have found ways to deal with almost every disease that once caused pains or troubles. We have learned to use clean, renewable energy sources and have r 128 our impact (影响) on the environment greatly. We have also made big progress in AI (artificial intelligence) (人工智能) and space exploration, allowing us to unlock the mysteries of the universe.
However, despite all these things, our world still faces many c 129 . The gap between rich and poor has grown wider and many people still struggle to make ends meet. Climate change has caused many natural disasters and forced many people to leave their homes. And while our efforts on artificial intelligence are proved to be a big step f 130 , we must be careful to make sure that it does not cause harm to humanity.
But perhaps the most important thing I want to share with you is that we have realized the importance of being r 131 . We have come to understand that our actions and decisions have an impact on others and on the planet we call home. We are working together to build a more reasonable fair world where everyone has chances to get the resources they need. I hope that you can take these l 132 to heart and fight for yourselves and the future. The choices you make today will have an impact on generations to come. Let us work together to build a b 133 tomorrow.
Yours sincerely,
A future human

Walk to School Week takes place from 15 to 19 May. As well as being better for the environment, regular walking can improve your body and mind.
Why is walking good for you?
Have you ever noticed you have more energy after a walk? According to experts, walking isn’t just good for your p 134 health, but it can also clear your mind, sharpen your senses and lift your mood. In fact, many people c 135 walking “one of the great superpowers” because it makes your brain work harder. Making walks part of your daily routine (日常事) means you can use this superpower more o 136 .
How do you make the most of your walks?
Walking with friends or family is a great opportunity to catch up (叙旧) and t 137 about your daily life, including any friendship or homework worries. If there is a field or a park on the way, you can make a game when you try to find a different bird or insect every day. Walking along pavements is a chance to practise road safety skills and make you know better about t 138 rules. It’s also an opportunity to get to know your neighbourhood better.
What will you do if you can’t walk all the way to school?
Not everyone can get to school on foot but there are lots of ways to make walking or exercise part of your daily routine. If you catch a bus, try getting off a stop e 139 and walking the rest of the way. Fewer cars outside the school gates will also mean l 140 pollution in the air, which is good for everybody and the planet too.

核心考点聚焦
考点一:学法指导
1. 总述
首字母填空既考查学生对语法、词汇、句型、搭配等基础知识的综合运用能力,也考查了学生对文章的阅读理解能力。其中,着重考查学生在具体的语境中运用语言知识的能力,根据文章内容进行合理的逻辑推断和分析概括的能力。一般来讲,在考试中,七个首字母,会涉及到不同词性。以名词、动词、形容词和副词为主,虚词为辅。
2. 解题技巧
(1) 通读全文,了解大意
通读全文的目的是能够做到整体把握文章,迅速的了解文章大意,并且对文章的整体结构和中心思想有一个基本的了解。通读全文时,不宜看一空填一空,以免造成所填答案不符合全文的要求。
(2) 把握段首句
中考的首字母往往以议论文为主,而段落的开首句,往往揭示了整段的段意。因此在考试中,把握好段首句,可以窥探到整段的全貌,以首句的时态,意义为立足点,可以方便我们判断整段的大意及主题。
(3) 抓住关键词
文章的展开是按照一定的逻辑关系的,因此在文章中,作者也会使用一些关键的表现逻辑关系联词,例如:but、so、in addition等。这些关键词,可以帮助我们联系上下文展开合理的逻辑分析,了解所提问的特定语境和语篇的内在关系。
(4) 熟悉考纲词组的固定搭配
考纲搭配在中考的考查中占据了重要的位置,而在首字母中,也出现过直接考查固定搭配的情况,因此,在平时的学习过程中,需要巩固好考纲词组。
(5) 联系上下文解题
在解题过程中,应当遵循“先易后难”的原则,当遇到解不出的题时,应当跳过。首字母填空着重考查学生对上下文的理解,因此,很多情况下,随着下文的展开和文章的深入,前面填不出的词,在下文中会有提示。因此,学生在作答时,应当加强联系前后文,充分利用上下文中的有效信息,确定答案。
(6)重读文章,检验答案
当全部答完后,一定要把文章重新读一遍。查看文章是否通顺,语法是否有误。如果发现有不顺畅的地方,则需要再进行推敲。个别单词的形式要着重注意。例如:动词的时态,名词的单复数以及形容词副词的级。

For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift that would shape his life. On that day his father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year.
To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but n 1 of them kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin’s artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, some still unopened. This time Lin’s parents would let him d 2 .
Lin’s eyes moved down the noticeboard that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at “Photography”. He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. A 3 Lin’s family weren’t poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking.
The next course to catch his eye was “Language Art”. He didn’t e 4 know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, to him it couldn’t be worse.
Then he saw it. “Cooking” sounded like something he’d like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative.
Based on Lin’s hobby history, his dad had doubts (疑惑), but he agreed. Much to his parents’ s 5 , Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practised at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to b 6 , when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others.
The months turned to years but his hobby never became different again. Now Lin is an adult and r 7 a wonderful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago.
【答案】1.(n)one 2.(d)ecide 3.(A)lthough 4.(e)ven 5.(s)urprise 6.(b)irthdays 7.(r)uns

4.句意:他甚至不知道那是什么意思。根据“He didn’t ... know what that meant.”及首字母可知,他甚至不知道“Language Art”是什么意思,even“甚至”符合。故填(e)ven。
5.句意:令父母吃惊的是,林竟然信守了诺言。根据“Lin kept his promise.”可知,这一次林信守诺言,这令他的父母很吃惊,surprise“吃惊”,to one’s surprise“令某人吃惊的是”。故填(s)urprise。
6.句意:每个人都期待着生日,那时他们可以吃他的蛋糕。根据“when they could eat his cakes”及首字母可知,过生日可以吃蛋糕,birthday“生日”符合,此处用名词复数表示泛指,故填(b)irthdays。
7.句意:现在林已经成年,经营着一家很棒的餐馆。根据“Now Lin is an adult and ... a wonderful restaurant.”及首字母可知,此处表示经营一家餐馆,run“经营,管理”符合,时态为一般现在时,主语是第三人称单数,谓语动词用三单。故填(r)uns。

Each night, students take home two books to read with their parents or other family members. They have to r 12 the books the next day with a signed note from their parents showing that the books were read, and have passing tests that check how well they understand the books.
“We’re trying to get parents into the h 13 of reading with their kids.” said the headmaster. “Nothing is better than sitting on a sofa with your child and reading and laughing.”
T 14 books, Mrs. Smith, a parent, said she’s able to give her two daughters more experiences than she could.
“I think reading opens all the doors and creates imaginations in children,” she said, “I think if you read well, you can succeed in anything in life.”

(23-24九年级下·上海浦东新·阶段练习)When accidents become inventions
Have you ever notice the little accidents in your life? Sometimes accidents are g 15 . They can even change your life—many useful things were invented by accident.
For example, at first, jeans were o 16 for workers. They were very s 17 and people didn’t make them become weak easily. But other people found they could last for a long time without breaking or getting weaker as well. Later on, jeans became popular all over the world.
When you see colorful fireworks, you probably don’t think about the Chinese cook who invented them in old times by accidents. He mixed together some common things from the kitchen. The m 18 burnt and made a beautiful light.
The invention of the Band-Aid was also a surprise. About 90 years ago, Earle Dickson worked at Johnson & Johnson. His wife was always accidentally cutting her fingers in the kitchen, but she couldn’t bandage herself up. Dickson decided to make something to help his wife cover her cuts. So he used a piece of gauze and put it on some tape. Later, his boss made this into a popular product: the Band-Aid.
Nowadays, microwave ovens are popular around the world. But in the b 19 , people invented the microwave for the war. American Percy Spencer found that microwaves could cook. He saw a candy in his pocket getting soft when he worked b 20 the microwaves. Spencer then did many tests to p 21 that microwaves could cook food. In 1947, the first microwave oven in the world came into being.

After lunch I took some food with me in case I found her. I began searching the backyard. There were a lot of cardboard boxes full of junk and empty boxes.

She managed to eat the food I brought her.
I named the three kittens shortly after. They soon became lovely and healthy cats and all grew up to be great mouse catchers just like their mother.

Plants “Talk”
Scientists have known for years that plants respond to sounds around them. But now scientists in Israel have shown that plants also seem to be doing some “talking”.
Professor Hadany and her team at Aviv University set up microphones to r 43 tomato plants under different situations. The result showed that the plants made ultrasonic sounds (超声波) . When the researchers changed the sounds into ones that humans could hear, they heard sharp clicking noises (咔哒声) .
As the scientists studied the sounds, they notice the regularity. Plants h 44 clicked when they had enough water. But as their soil (土壤) got drier, they began to click.
When scientists cut off a stem from the plants, the plants also clicked more. But the clicking wasn’t the same as when the plants needed water. The result suggests that researchers may one day be able to use a plant’s sounds to find out when it is having trouble, and what trouble it is having. That could be very helpful to f 45 .
The other research has shown that plants also make sounds to communicate in some ways. When insects a 46 a plant, it will give a warning to its neighbours. Soon, nearby plants start to make chemicals that don’t taste good to insects. It’s an effective way for plants to p 47 themselves.
Then here is a question: Is anything listening to the plants? Dr. Hadany points out that mice who live on plants can hear the sounds. The clicks may tell them whether a plant has problems. If the plant isn’t h 48 , they will avoid it.
As Dr. Hadany says, “Even in a quiet field, there are actually sounds that we don’t hear, and those sounds carry i 49 . The team’s research has already changed our ideas about plants.”

For the not so wealthy, grammar schools were built in towns. They learned basic grammar and mathematics, and took part in Bible study. At home, girls learned washing, cooking,dancing, and the basics of taking care of a household. Poor children r 61 attended school.

Many people do not take enough care of their complex machines. Bad habits like smoking, drinking too much alcohol, and eating junk food damage our bodies. Stress can also cause h 121 problems. People who worry a lot or have busy jobs often don’t get enough sleep, or don’t eat properly. We also damage our bodies by playing sports or having accidents. B 122 , a recent survey in the U.K. found that 14 percent of people had visited a hospital clinic in the previous three months. The two most c 123 reasons were for injury and poisoning.
Just like any machine, different body parts sometimes go wrong from old age. In fact, a study in the U.S. found that 60 percent to 70 percent of all patients in the Emergency Room were aged 75 or over. Luckily, older people who s 124 from an illness or injury can now receive treatment to help extend their lives. Due to the increase in the population of elderly people, gerontology (老年医学) is now one of the fastest g 125 areas of medicine. It is now common for older people with damaged joints, for example, to have surgery to replace the old joint with a new one made of plastic or metal.
As with any machine, the better you take care of it, the longer it will last. Of course, the best way to take care of your amazing machine is to eat the right foods, do sports r 126 , and get enough sleep.
Oh, and don’t forget to smile!
