核心考点聚焦
考点一:完型填空解题步骤
第一步:通读全文,浏览大意
有人说完型就是一个黑社会组织,首尾是黑社会的老大,内部是其黑社会的成员。成员所说的话,所做的事,所表达的思想感情都要服从老大,要不然你是没事找抽型,颇觉恰当。即完型首尾是中心,里面的每句话都要为中心服务,确定主题中心后,就确定了整篇文章的基调,理解了文章中心,心中就有了谱,做题时就好比“有了灯塔的指引”,不会让你迷路。
第二步:前瞻后顾,重复原则
完型一般只说一件事,因为这件事是主体,作者会反复重复,做题时如果做不出,不必着急,跳过去,往下看,或者往前找。
第三部:明确考点,试填选项
完型要求你的水平很高,实力很雄厚,基础很扎实,这种很诡异的题既考单选又考阅读,但只要是考试就有规律,只要有规律就能总结出来。中考完型归结起来考两点,一考语法,这个只要基本功扎实就能做对,第二个是考词,词从三个角度考察,a.词义辨析,四个词是同义词或近义词只有一个是正确选项,其二四个词不是同义词,只需要知道意思或上下文的提及就能判断出。b.逻辑关系,文章都有起承转合,即句子和句子之间是什么关系,是并列,是递进,是转折,还是因果。c.固定搭配。
完型说白了就是挖词游戏,把某一个词挖掉,然后把四个选项往里带,只有一个最靠谱,读起来前后通顺,而其他三个词填进去,要么前言不搭后语,要么逻辑不通,要么无中生有。填完后再通读发现没有异常,那这篇填词游戏就bingo了。
第四步:重填选项,检查答案
全部做完后,还有最后一道工序,审查,前后推敲,看看有没有语序不通语法错误的现象。
考点二:完型解题技巧
1.首句必重点读
首句很多情况是Topic sentence (主题句),告诉你文章的背景和主旨。首句一般不设空,如果首句设空,请重点读后面的例子,例子里面会提供线索。现在很多考题都是用后面的例子印证首句。
EG1:These days, it is ______ for children as young as Sammy to be so good at computers. Many Children use computers at home or at school and some schools even have their own websites.
A. hard B. unusual C. common D. dangerous
如果学生分析这四个词用法,那就和这道考题背道而驰了,首句设空,我们重点读后面的那句话“很多孩子在家里,学校使用电脑,甚至一些学校有他们自己的网站”,说明对电脑的使用是持肯定意见的,选项C为正确答案,A、B 、D 都为否定意见,故不选。
2.例子之间关系
例子联合起来都是去证明本文中心的,但例子与例子有时候会有正反对比或者是平行关系。
3.最佳适用原则
举个例子,如果这样出题。这位男士很______,每次和女生一起出去逛街的时候都会为女生拉开商场大门,直到身边所有的女生都通过。假设选项如下A good B nice C gentle D handsome 你会如何选?很多学生会选good, 觉得good是万能词,但这里错了,完形填空一定要基于语境,选择一个最适合,最具体,不是最宽泛的词语。因而C gentle 很绅士是最佳答案。
4.场景匹配原则
Sammy Liu, a six-year-old boy from Kowloon, has become a hero recently . One day he used the family’s ________ to stop a robbery.
A.radio B. computer C. recorder D. telephone
后文都在说关于电脑使用,这里选择A C D显然不合适,文章里根本就没有提到收音机,录音机和电话,虽然电话也能用来报警,但是一定要基于原文的场景。
5. 平行并列原则
完形填空文章很多时候是围绕一个话题展开,每个段落有的时候发展模式都是差不多的,前面提到如果首句设空,除了关注到后面的例子,还不妨可以关注下一段首句或者再下下段首句。类似的如果某段末句设空不妨也可以关注一下下面一段的末句。例如有一篇文章是讨论积极态度给生活、工作、健康带来的好处,其中第二段末句这么写:with an active _______, you can overcome all the difficulties. 需要我们填空。在第三段末句出现了with an active attitude , you can be healthy. 如果学生在阅读的时候关注到这句,使用了“平行原则”,自然就能填出attitude .

The small town of Hay, on the River Wye, sits on the border between England and Wales. You can 7 reach it on small country roads since the transport is not developed so fast there.
The town was a 8 place until 1961. That year a local man called Richard Booth came back from a trip to the USA with a lot of second-hand books. He bought the town’s old fire station and changed it into a shop to sell them. For the next ten years, he bought more empty shops and made them into bookshops, too. 9 Hay became the world’s first “book town”.
With the money he made, Booth bought the town’s old castle. On April Fool’s Day in 1977, he declared (宣布) himself “king” and said the place was now an independent 10 ! His horse was the head of the government, and he even gave people passports. Some local people thought he was a little mad.
He wasn’t crazy at all, and the 11 made more people come to Hay to buy second-hand books. By the 1980s there were a large number of books on sale, on 15km of shelves in over 30 bookshops.

Londoners are happy because the place they live has become a cycle friendly zone after beginning of a new bike hire (租用) plan. It has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in and around central London. So how does it work? First you have to sign up to the plan and you will 25 a key. The key will unlock one of the bikes, which are kept at docking (停靠) stations in and around central London. You have to pay money for the key and then you pay as you go, for the length of time you use the bike.

The new hire system is hoping to solve the traffic problems in London and is expected to reach 40, 000 cycle trips a day into the city centre.
London Mayor Boris Johnston started the plan and said “London has been 27 thousands of new bikes that will change the look and feel of our streets and become as common as black taxis and red buses.”

Some other people have complained about the lack (缺乏) of docking stations and locks for the bikes 30 the high price.

Intelligent animalsScientists used to believe that animals could not think, but now we know that animals can understand information and use it. 31 , if we repeat words such as Down or Sit to dogs, they’ll begin to understand them and follow the instruction. Some kinds of dogs can understand more than one hundred words!
Some dogs have jobs. Working dogs are 32 good at learning words because they have to listen carefully to instructions. Border collies, a kind of dog, are often used to move sheep. Farmers use special words to tell the dogs what to do. They say Find when they want the dog to go and look for the sheep, and then Walk when they want the dog to move towards the sheep. The dogs also need to understand the word Stop. They can also understand if they have done a job well and 33 whether the command is from their own farmer.
Dogs are not the only creatures that can learn words. An orca (killer whale) called Wilkie has been taught to repeat the words Hello and Bye-bye and can count to three. She produces the sounds by pushing air through her blowhole, but amazingly, she can 34 the sound of a human voice. If she listens to children, she sounds like a child when she repeats the words. In the wild, orcas live in groups and the young orcas make the similar sounds to the sounds the adult orcas make. So, each group of orcas 35 from other groups.
Parrots are famous for repeating words, and an African Grey parrot called Alex could understand the English words for one hundred and fifty different things—like water, banana and grape. He knew some colours and shapes, and he could count various items. He could even understand the word none or zero. People once thought it was 36 to say someone had a brain like a bird, but now it seems birds and other animals are smarter than we thought.

Maybe you think that newspapers are boring and only for grown-ups. But that’s not true!
There are many interesting stories in the paper.

There is also news from around the world—from international problems to pop stars.
If you read the newspaper carefully, you’ll find there’re different kinds of articles on the pages. They are News stories, Opinion writing and Advertisement.
News stories: These stories are about events. Reporters try to 40 all sides of a story to help readers understand what happened. Reporters try to speak to as many people as possible. They also use pictures and numbers to convince readers that the stories are true. Teens has lots of news stories on the news page and front page. When you read stories, you hear about the facts; not the writers’ ideas.

(23-24九年级上·上海黄浦·期末)The difference between needs and wants
It’s very easy to waste money—even small purchases like stickers and snacks quickly add up. This makes it harder to save up for the things that you really want, but also means you might run out of money. In that case, you have to 43 what you need, not just what you want.
What do you need?
People often 44 things that they need for things that they want. For example, you need to eat dinner, but that doesn’t mean you need takeaway pizza—you just want it. You might hear grown-ups talking about how they “need” a holiday, but this is something they would 45 instead of something they need to survive.
What do you want?
Wants are items that would be nice to have, but you can 46 them. Unlike needs, your wants will change over time. As a child you might want a new bike, but when you get a bit older you want a phone, new clothes, or even a car.
When you have some money, it’s 47 that you will spend it all on the things you want. This isn’t a good idea because there’s a risk you won’t have enough money left to pay for things you need.
Mindful spending
Unfortunately, we can’t always have everything we want, at least not right away. Therefore, it is important to think twice about whether you 48 need something right now.
Getting into the habit of doing this now will make it much easier to manage money when you’re grown up.
Stop and think before you spend.

Richard has always enjoyed making things using old household appliances and machines. 49 when he was quite young, he made fans for his parents’ house from car parts and things he found in a junkyard.

Many teens aren’t getting enough sleep. According to a U. S. survey, more than one in five teens have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Here, some 55 experts (专家) are offering tips to help teens get a better night’s sleep.
Sonal Malhotra
Small changes can often make a big difference. Try changing one bad sleep habit at a time. For example, 56 having a big meal close to bedtime or make sure your room is dark and comfortable. It’s not possible to change everything all at once. If you can change one habit even several nights a week, that’s great.
Lisa Damour
We have plenty of research showing how damaging technology is to sleep. No one—children or adults—should have a phone in their bedroom at night.
If that’s too hard for you, you can start with some easier ways to 57 the damage of nighttime screen time. Passive use, like watching a show, is better than active use, like gaming.

(23-24九年级上·上海青浦·期末)It’s common to wonder sometimes, “What if something turns out badly?” It’s important to understand that idea and manage it so that you don’ t get stuck in the worry.
Worrying about the future is a 61 part of life. From time to time, everyone wonders what would happen if something doesn’t go to plan: “What if I make a mistake?” or “What if everyone 62 me?” These “what-if” worries focus on a negative result. When you spend a lot of time worrying about bad things that could happen, you’ re imagining that the future could be a(n) 63 . Spending a lot of time thinking about “what-if” makes you feel anxious(焦虑的)and worried. For example, you might feel upset and it can make it hard to focus on what you’ re doing.
There are different ways you can help yourself. Angela McMillan suggests creating an “if/then” plan. She says, “For example, If you have to stand up in front of the class, Then you will take some deep breaths and 64 yourself you have prepared and you’ re OK, or If the social event is really noisy and you feel uncomfortable, Then you can step outside for a few minutes. “You can also ask yourself how likely it is to 65 happen.
McMillan points out that most worries never happen. “Remember they are just thoughts and the bravest thing we can do is to not let the worry 66 . “she says. Try to focus your attention on what you’ re doing.

On 20 February, Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, announced a plan to offer free school meals to all primary school pupils in London in the next academic year. Khan’s plan will help around 270,000 pupils and will cost £130 million.
In recent years, the cost of basic items like food and energy has gone up, putting pressure on some families. Research shows that when children have a healthy 67 they learn more in class. Khan had free school meals when he was younger, and he told The Week Junior, “It is important for everyone to eat the 68 food together. Meals are a time to sit and talk to your friends. No one should be made to feel different or have to sit at another table because they get free meals.”
The plan won’t start until September because kitchens require time to 69 more staff and get ready to make more lunches. Khan said, “If overnight, every school in London had to do free school meals, there would be chaos (混乱) in the kitchens.”
The 70 for who gets free school meals are different all over the UK. In the rest of England, all pupils from Reception to Year 2 are given free meals. Older children in England and Scotland from eligible families (those who can prove they require them) 71 get free meals. In Northern Ireland, free meals are only available to children from eligible families. In Wales, from 2024 all primary school children will get them.
Victoria Benson from Gingerbread, a charity that supports single parents, said the plan “will be a huge relief (减轻) to many parents that their child will now be fed at school.” However, not everyone 72 the plan. Some people think all secondary school pupils should be given free meals too. Others say free meals should only be given to those who really require them.

(2024·上海嘉定·一模)Every year, wildfires destroy millions of hectares of forest land. Homes are damaged, and thousands of people die. Smokejumpers help to stop this.
Smokejumpers are a special type of firefighter. They jump from planes or are lowered by helicopters into areas that are 73 to reach by car or on foot, such as the middle of a mountain forest. They race to put out fires as fast as they can.
At a fire site, smokejumpers first examine the land and decide 74 to fight the fire. Their main goal is to stop a fire from spreading or to slow its progress 75 ground-based firefighters arrive. Using basic equipment such as shovels (铲子) and axes (斧头), smokejumpers clear land of burnable material, like dry grass and dead trees. They carry water with them, too, but only a limited amount.
Most smokejumpers are men. The most important factors are your height and 76 . Smokejumpers employed in the United States must be between 54 and 91 kilograms so they don’t get blown away by the strong winds or get 77 when they land.
The work is dangerous, and the hours are long. But for these firefighters, smoke jumping isn’t just a job. They 78 being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest. As 28-year-old Russian smokejumper Alexi says, “This is the best job for tough guys.”

Mrs Li, the English teacher, gave the class a writing assignment. “Write something in some way related to summer vacation,” she said. “Be as 79 as you can. But,” the teacher added, “make sure you use proper spelling and grammar.”
That night Jim sat at his desk at home and 80 a blank sheet of paper. He didn’t want to write about his summer vacation as usual. What could he write about, except a dog, a water park, and two weeks of camp? Boring... He’d actually been happy to get back to school.
So he wrote what he wanted. Not an essay at all but a short story, science fiction. It was about a distant 81 that didn’t have summer—it was spring all the time. And it didn’t have vacations either. The aliens worked 24 hours a day. They wished they had vacations.
The next morning he handed in the story, but later that night he 82 awake until 3 a.m., thinking, “Why did I do that? Will Mrs Li think I ignored the assignment?” English was his favorite class. Maybe he would beg Mrs Li for a chance to write another one, the sort she wanted.
But when he got to class the following day, it turned out that Mrs Li had already read and graded the essays.
The teacher said, “I’m going to pass back your summer vacation writing 83 . But before that, I’m afraid I’ve got some rather harsh words to say. Almost everyone in class simply wrote an essay about his or her summer vacation...Almost everyone.”
“This is bad,” Jim thought, “I’m getting an F, I know it.”
“But,” the teacher continued, “one of you had the courage to be as imaginative as I asked you to be. Jim Martin was the only one who got an A on the assignment.”

Technology is the use of knowledge to invent new tools. Throughout history, technology has made people’s lives easier.
Early humans set themselves 85 other animals when they learned to use stones as weapons or tools. This began a period that is known as the Stone Age. Stone Age people also learned to make pottery from clay.
Later on, people learned to work with 86 . The people of Anatolia made copper tools and weapons as early as 6500 BC. In about 3000 BC people discovered that mixing copper with tin formed bronze. This discovery began the Bronze Age.
Two important 87 took place in the Middle East at the beginning of the Bronze Age. One was the invention of the ox-drawn plow (犁). The other was the invention of the wheel and axle (车轴). Many scientists date the beginning of civilization, or advanced culture, to this time.
In the 1000s BC the Hittite people of Anatolia learned to work with iron, which is stronger than bronze. This began the Iron Age. 88 , people throughout the world made iron tools and weapons.
A period called the Middle Ages began in about AD 500 and lasted 89 about 1500. Many advances during this time came from other places-for example, China, Persia and India. By about the 1400s, Europeans learned the Chinese technique of casting iron. This involved 90 iron and pouring it into a mold to harden. Chinese inventors also developed black powder, the original form of gunpowder. New sources of powder were developed during this time.
Two kinds of technology helped to end the Middle Ages and to begin modern times. The rudder (a part for driving a ship), the compass made it possible the sea voyages of European explorers.

Company Creates First 3D-Printed Fish
Do you enjoy seafood? Many of us do, but overfishing is a problem. There are many ways to respond to this. One is to only eat seafood that is caught through scientific fishing methods. Another is not to eat fish at all. However, a new 91 is 3D-printed fish, which may offer a new way to solve the problem and perhaps be healthier to eat. It sounds like 92 , but it’s happening now. “The product tastes, and melts in your mouth exactly like fish should,” says Mihir Pershad, the CEO of Umami Meats.
Umami Meats, a Singapore company, cultivates stem cells (干细胞) taken from live fish. Stem cells are grown in labs for 2 weeks and 93 muscle and fat samples (样本) after another week. The second company, Steakholder Foods, uses the muscle and fat samples in high-tech 3D printers. They are able to 94 the shape and size of the piece of “fish” first, and then mix muscles and fat together. This makes the final product nearly the same as real fish.
The ability to create 3D-printed fish is an incredible technological achievement. Umami Meats focuses on helping protect some endangered fish like tuna, reducing the need for overfishing. 3D-printed fish is 95 of harmful chemicals that are common in a lot of seafood. It can also be produced quite cheaply compared to live fish. However, a lot of research on the 96 of eating 3D-printed food needs to be done. This is why restaurants aren’t allowed to serve these products now. The earliest we will see them is likely some time in 2024.

For centuries, the power of Chinese emperors rose and fell with their control of the Grand Canal (京杭大运河) . Today, this important waterway is shorter than it once was, but it is 97 the longest man-made river in the world, and continues to play an important role in modern China.
Construction begins
The earliest canal system began around the year 605, when Emperor Yang 98 that—in order to feed his army—he needed a way to move food quickly from China’s southern rice-growing region to the country’s north. People worked to build the first section of the Grand Canal, which connected existing canals, lakes, and rivers. Construction took six years and was completed in 611. Over the next 500 years, the canal’s importance grew throughout China.
A nation’s lifeline
The Grand Canal was also an important cultural connection. Soldiers, businessmen, and artists transported ideas, foods, and cultural practices from one part of China to another along the country’s watery highway. According to legend (传说) , this is 99 Beijing came to have two of its best-known trademarks (招牌) : Beijing duck, a dish from Shandong Province in the south, and Beijing opera from Anhui and Hubei, also in the south.
The modern canal
For more than a thousand years, goods have been transported along the Grand Canal. Even today, the country’s watery highway plays an important 100 role in China. Boats continue to carry tons of coal food and other goods to points between Hangzhou and Jining. 101 , local governments eager to increase tourism and real estate development are working to beautify areas along the canal.
This development comes at a price, though. In Yangzhou, the city has torn down almost all of the older canal-side buildings. Farther south in the cities of Zhenjiang, the 102 is similar. In Hangzhou, for example, almost all of the ancient buildings have been pulled down. In 2005, a group of citizens proposed that the historic Grand Canal be made a UNESCO World Heritage site, to protect both the waterway and the architecture around it. The hope is that the Grand Canal, one of the world’s great engineering achievements, will continue to link north and south China for centuries to come.

Should people walk where they want
In most of England, walkers are limited to footpaths.
More than 100 musicians, actors and writers wrote to the UK government, “In the books we write, the songs we sing, the art we make, we celebrate the important connection that we feel with nature. But that connection is 103 by the fences that surround (围绕) much of England’s land, stopping people from walking free.”
Although in 2000, a law was passed to allow people to walk around 8% of England’s countryside. Some people say this isn’t good enough. Others point out that there are businesses that need to keep the land private. What do you think? Should people be allowed to walk wherever they like?
YES! — Nature belongs to everyone
Nowadays it is important for people to take a walk outdoors — for their mental and physical health. It encourages people and brings them 104 and relaxation.
Yet this space is not enough and is now surrounded by fences. To get closer to nature, most people have to travel for miles. Everyone should be able to get close to nature 105 . Blue sky, flying birds and green tree-lined paths should not belong to any private organization or person. But the truth is that such a small number of people own such huge amounts of land. Among every eight British houses, one has no gardens. This isn’t 106 .
NO! — The walking paths are enough
The land isn’t just for people’s enjoyment or health. For many people, it means family’s whole-year income. 107 , farmers need fields to keep their animals, like sheep or bulls, for a living. Also, it isn’t safe for walkers to walk around because the land may have many hidden 108 such as wetlands and snakes.
Moreover, walkers do not always show their respect. They leave gates open, litter everywhere, scare off birds and stand over plants. In fact, many people are not really looking for a connection with the wild. They just want a short walk with the nice scenery. The government should focus on making paths for walkers and leave the rest of the land alone.

AI is becoming more and more powerful, which makes some people worry that they will lose their jobs to machines. Nowadays, companies have released AI that can answer questions, write articles and create images. Now, even people in 109 fields must think about the possibility of AI replacing them. However, many experts (专家) still believe that these AI programs can’t really take the place of human beings.
Using AI for certain tasks may be a good thing. Perhaps AI will take over less interesting work and it allows people to do more satisfying jobs. For example, washing machines save people a lot of time, so they can use that extra time productively. 110 , AI may be able to take over dull tasks to let people do more proper thinking, since thinking up new ideas is something AI can’t do.
Another 111 for AI is human interaction (互动、交流). Most people prefer to communicate with humans rather than machines. Therefore, AI is unlikely to replace humans for jobs that require personal connection, such as advising or teaching. A robot can perform tasks, but it can’t truly care about others, and sometimes care is what people need.
AI can process data (数据) quickly, but it can only use data that it is given. So, it isn’t able to 112 situations that are quite different from those in its data. Therefore, although some AI programs can create content, 113 of them can be truly creative.
Finally, if AI receives wrong information, it has no way of recognizing or correcting it. Humans may also make mistakes, but life experience can make them learn from their mistakes. For the time being, AI does not have such an ability. 114 , AI must continually check the data to make sure its conclusions are accurate.

(23-24九年级下·上海浦东新·阶段练习)You know that pile of homework is due tomorrow, but you just find yourself putting it off and 115 actively looking for distractions (such as constantly checking emails or logging into a social networking site). If that sounds like what you do, chances are you are 116 by procrastination, which in a nutshell (简而言之), refers to that act of putting things off to a later time. But you’re not alone.
In fact, many people procrastinate to some degree. 117 , some are so seriously affected by procrastination that it stops them fulfilling their potential and disrupt life. So why do people procrastinate and how to get rid of the habit?
There are some frequently cited reasons. A fear of 118 , for instance, is often to blame. If you have a task to do and you’re unsure of your ability to do it, then it’s only natural that you’ll put it off. You need to protect your own ego and you don’t want to admit that, for whatever reason, you may not be able to successfully complete your job. But the thing is, that task will not go away and you still have to get it done on time.
In this case, the trick is to work out the exact reason why you’re afraid of failing. Often, you’ll realize that there is some technical reason for not wanting to attempt the task — that is, you just don’t have the 119 or skills require to do it. The answer is to be straight up about it with both yourself and others. 120 you have to learn the skills to the point where you can do the task (in which case, you’ll find that the task becomes rewarding once you are good at it), or you have to ask for help. Don’t just leave it! We all know where that leads — a bad place of bad consequences in your life and just more stress.

核心考点聚焦
考点一:完型填空解题步骤
第一步:通读全文,浏览大意
有人说完型就是一个黑社会组织,首尾是黑社会的老大,内部是其黑社会的成员。成员所说的话,所做的事,所表达的思想感情都要服从老大,要不然你是没事找抽型,颇觉恰当。即完型首尾是中心,里面的每句话都要为中心服务,确定主题中心后,就确定了整篇文章的基调,理解了文章中心,心中就有了谱,做题时就好比“有了灯塔的指引”,不会让你迷路。
第二步:前瞻后顾,重复原则
完型一般只说一件事,因为这件事是主体,作者会反复重复,做题时如果做不出,不必着急,跳过去,往下看,或者往前找。
第三部:明确考点,试填选项
完型要求你的水平很高,实力很雄厚,基础很扎实,这种很诡异的题既考单选又考阅读,但只要是考试就有规律,只要有规律就能总结出来。中考完型归结起来考两点,一考语法,这个只要基本功扎实就能做对,第二个是考词,词从三个角度考察,a.词义辨析,四个词是同义词或近义词只有一个是正确选项,其二四个词不是同义词,只需要知道意思或上下文的提及就能判断出。b.逻辑关系,文章都有起承转合,即句子和句子之间是什么关系,是并列,是递进,是转折,还是因果。c.固定搭配。
完型说白了就是挖词游戏,把某一个词挖掉,然后把四个选项往里带,只有一个最靠谱,读起来前后通顺,而其他三个词填进去,要么前言不搭后语,要么逻辑不通,要么无中生有。填完后再通读发现没有异常,那这篇填词游戏就bingo了。
第四步:重填选项,检查答案
全部做完后,还有最后一道工序,审查,前后推敲,看看有没有语序不通语法错误的现象。
考点二:完型解题技巧
1.首句必重点读
首句很多情况是Topic sentence (主题句),告诉你文章的背景和主旨。首句一般不设空,如果首句设空,请重点读后面的例子,例子里面会提供线索。现在很多考题都是用后面的例子印证首句。
EG1:These days, it is ______ for children as young as Sammy to be so good at computers. Many Children use computers at home or at school and some schools even have their own websites.
A. hard B. unusual C. common D. dangerous
如果学生分析这四个词用法,那就和这道考题背道而驰了,首句设空,我们重点读后面的那句话“很多孩子在家里,学校使用电脑,甚至一些学校有他们自己的网站”,说明对电脑的使用是持肯定意见的,选项C为正确答案,A、B 、D 都为否定意见,故不选。
2.例子之间关系
例子联合起来都是去证明本文中心的,但例子与例子有时候会有正反对比或者是平行关系。
3.最佳适用原则
举个例子,如果这样出题。这位男士很______,每次和女生一起出去逛街的时候都会为女生拉开商场大门,直到身边所有的女生都通过。假设选项如下A good B nice C gentle D handsome 你会如何选?很多学生会选good, 觉得good是万能词,但这里错了,完形填空一定要基于语境,选择一个最适合,最具体,不是最宽泛的词语。因而C gentle 很绅士是最佳答案。
4.场景匹配原则
Sammy Liu, a six-year-old boy from Kowloon, has become a hero recently . One day he used the family’s ________ to stop a robbery.
A.radio B. computer C. recorder D. telephone
后文都在说关于电脑使用,这里选择A C D显然不合适,文章里根本就没有提到收音机,录音机和电话,虽然电话也能用来报警,但是一定要基于原文的场景。
5. 平行并列原则
完形填空文章很多时候是围绕一个话题展开,每个段落有的时候发展模式都是差不多的,前面提到如果首句设空,除了关注到后面的例子,还不妨可以关注下一段首句或者再下下段首句。类似的如果某段末句设空不妨也可以关注一下下面一段的末句。例如有一篇文章是讨论积极态度给生活、工作、健康带来的好处,其中第二段末句这么写:with an active _______, you can overcome all the difficulties. 需要我们填空。在第三段末句出现了with an active attitude , you can be healthy. 如果学生在阅读的时候关注到这句,使用了“平行原则”,自然就能填出attitude .

The small town of Hay, on the River Wye, sits on the border between England and Wales. You can 7 reach it on small country roads since the transport is not developed so fast there.
The town was a 8 place until 1961. That year a local man called Richard Booth came back from a trip to the USA with a lot of second-hand books. He bought the town’s old fire station and changed it into a shop to sell them. For the next ten years, he bought more empty shops and made them into bookshops, too. 9 Hay became the world’s first “book town”.
With the money he made, Booth bought the town’s old castle. On April Fool’s Day in 1977, he declared (宣布) himself “king” and said the place was now an independent 10 ! His horse was the head of the government, and he even gave people passports. Some local people thought he was a little mad.
He wasn’t crazy at all, and the 11 made more people come to Hay to buy second-hand books. By the 1980s there were a large number of books on sale, on 15km of shelves in over 30 bookshops.
Then in 1988 aliterature (文学) festival began. Writers came to 12 about their new books, along with scientists, politicians and even the President of the USA!

Parrots are famous for repeating words, and an African Grey parrot called Alex could understand the English words for one hundred and fifty different things—like water, banana and grape.

(23-24九年级上·上海黄浦·期末)The difference between needs and wants
It’s very easy to waste money—even small purchases like stickers and snacks quickly add up. This makes it harder to save up for the things that you really want, but also means you might run out of money. In that case, you have to 43 what you need, not just what you want.
What do you need?
People often 44 things that they need for things that they want. For example, you need to eat dinner, but that doesn’t mean you need takeaway pizza—you just want it. You might hear grown-ups talking about how they “need” a holiday, but this is something they would 45 instead of something they need to survive.
What do you want?
Wants are items that would be nice to have, but you can 46 them. Unlike needs, your wants will change over time. As a child you might want a new bike, but when you get a bit older you want a phone, new clothes, or even a car.
When you have some money, it’s 47 that you will spend it all on the things you want. This isn’t a good idea because there’s a risk you won’t have enough money left to pay for things you need.
Mindful spending

Many teens aren’t getting enough sleep. According to a U. S. survey, more than one in five teens have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Here, some 55 experts (专家) are offering tips to help teens get a better night’s sleep.
Sonal Malhotra
Small changes can often make a big difference. Try changing one bad sleep habit at a time. For example, 56 having a big meal close to bedtime or make sure your room is dark and comfortable. It’s not possible to change everything all at once. If you can change one habit even several nights a week, that’s great.
Lisa Damour
We have plenty of research showing how damaging technology is to sleep. No one—children or adults—should have a phone in their bedroom at night.
If that’s too hard for you, you can start with some easier ways to 57 the damage of nighttime screen time. Passive use, like watching a show, is better than active use, like gaming.

There are different ways you can help yourself. Angela McMillan suggests creating an “if/then” plan. She says, “For example, If you have to stand up in front of the class, Then you will take some deep breaths and 64 yourself you have prepared and you’ re OK, or If the social event is really noisy and you feel uncomfortable, Then you can step outside for a few minutes. “You can also ask yourself how likely it is to 65 happen.
McMillan points out that most worries never happen. “Remember they are just thoughts and the bravest thing we can do is to not let the worry 66 . “she says. Try to focus your attention on what you’ re doing.

On 20 February, Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, announced a plan to offer free school meals to all primary school pupils in London in the next academic year. Khan’s plan will help around 270,000 pupils and will cost £130 million.
In recent years, the cost of basic items like food and energy has gone up, putting pressure on some families. Research shows that when children have a healthy 67 they learn more in class. Khan had free school meals when he was younger, and he told The Week Junior, “It is important for everyone to eat the 68 food together. Meals are a time to sit and talk to your friends. No one should be made to feel different or have to sit at another table because they get free meals.”
The plan won’t start until September because kitchens require time to 69 more staff and get ready to make more lunches. Khan said, “If overnight, every school in London had to do free school meals, there would be chaos (混乱) in the kitchens.”
The 70 for who gets free school meals are different all over the UK. In the rest of England, all pupils from Reception to Year 2 are given free meals. Older children in England and Scotland from eligible families (those who can prove they require them) 71 get free meals. In Northern Ireland, free meals are only available to children from eligible families. In Wales, from 2024 all primary school children will get them.
Victoria Benson from Gingerbread, a charity that supports single parents, said the plan “will be a huge relief (减轻) to many parents that their child will now be fed at school.” However, not everyone 72 the plan. Some people think all secondary school pupils should be given free meals too. Others say free meals should only be given to those who really require them.

Technology is the use of knowledge to invent new tools. Throughout history, technology has made people’s lives easier.
Early humans set themselves 85 other animals when they learned to use stones as weapons or tools. This began a period that is known as the Stone Age. Stone Age people also learned to make pottery from clay.
Later on, people learned to work with 86 . The people of Anatolia made copper tools and weapons as early as 6500 BC. In about 3000 BC people discovered that mixing copper with tin formed bronze. This discovery began the Bronze Age.
Two important 87 took place in the Middle East at the beginning of the Bronze Age. One was the invention of the ox-drawn plow (犁). The other was the invention of the wheel and axle (车轴). Many scientists date the beginning of civilization, or advanced culture, to this time.
In the 1000s BC the Hittite people of Anatolia learned to work with iron, which is stronger than bronze. This began the Iron Age. 88 , people throughout the world made iron tools and weapons.
A period called the Middle Ages began in about AD 500 and lasted 89 about 1500. Many advances during this time came from other places-for example, China, Persia and India. By about the 1400s, Europeans learned the Chinese technique of casting iron. This involved 90 iron and pouring it into a mold to harden. Chinese inventors also developed black powder, the original form of gunpowder. New sources of powder were developed during this time.
Two kinds of technology helped to end the Middle Ages and to begin modern times. The rudder (a part for driving a ship), the compass made it possible the sea voyages of European explorers.

Company Creates First 3D-Printed Fish
Do you enjoy seafood? Many of us do, but overfishing is a problem. There are many ways to respond to this. One is to only eat seafood that is caught through scientific fishing methods. Another is not to eat fish at all. However, a new 91 is 3D-printed fish, which may offer a new way to solve the problem and perhaps be healthier to eat. It sounds like 92 , but it’s happening now. “The product tastes, and melts in your mouth exactly like fish should,” says Mihir Pershad, the CEO of Umami Meats.
Umami Meats, a Singapore company, cultivates stem cells (干细胞) taken from live fish. Stem cells are grown in labs for 2 weeks and 93 muscle and fat samples (样本) after another week. The second company, Steakholder Foods, uses the muscle and fat samples in high-tech 3D printers. They are able to 94 the shape and size of the piece of “fish” first, and then mix muscles and fat together. This makes the final product nearly the same as real fish.
The ability to create 3D-printed fish is an incredible technological achievement. Umami Meats focuses on helping protect some endangered fish like tuna, reducing the need for overfishing. 3D-printed fish is 95 of harmful chemicals that are common in a lot of seafood. It can also be produced quite cheaply compared to live fish. However, a lot of research on the 96 of eating 3D-printed food needs to be done. This is why restaurants aren’t allowed to serve these products now. The earliest we will see them is likely some time in 2024.

For centuries, the power of Chinese emperors rose and fell with their control of the Grand Canal (京杭大运河) . Today, this important waterway is shorter than it once was, but it is 97 the longest man-made river in the world, and continues to play an important role in modern China.
Construction begins
The earliest canal system began around the year 605, when Emperor Yang 98 that—in order to feed his army—he needed a way to move food quickly from China’s southern rice-growing region to the country’s north. People worked to build the first section of the Grand Canal, which connected existing canals, lakes, and rivers. Construction took six years and was completed in 611. Over the next 500 years, the canal’s importance grew throughout China.
A nation’s lifeline
The Grand Canal was also an important cultural connection. Soldiers, businessmen, and artists transported ideas, foods, and cultural practices from one part of China to another along the country’s watery highway. According to legend (传说) , this is 99 Beijing came to have two of its best-known trademarks (招牌) : Beijing duck, a dish from Shandong Province in the south, and Beijing opera from Anhui and Hubei, also in the south.
The modern canal
For more than a thousand years, goods have been transported along the Grand Canal. Even today, the country’s watery highway plays an important 100 role in China. Boats continue to carry tons of coal food and other goods to points between Hangzhou and Jining. 101 , local governments eager to increase tourism and real estate development are working to beautify areas along the canal.
This development comes at a price, though. In Yangzhou, the city has torn down almost all of the older canal-side buildings. Farther south in the cities of Zhenjiang, the 102 is similar. In Hangzhou, for example, almost all of the ancient buildings have been pulled down. In 2005, a group of citizens proposed that the historic Grand Canal be made a UNESCO World Heritage site, to protect both the waterway and the architecture around it. The hope is that the Grand Canal, one of the world’s great engineering achievements, will continue to link north and south China for centuries to come.

Should people walk where they want
In most of England, walkers are limited to footpaths.
More than 100 musicians, actors and writers wrote to the UK government, “In the books we write, the songs we sing, the art we make, we celebrate the important connection that we feel with nature. But that connection is 103 by the fences that surround (围绕) much of England’s land, stopping people from walking free.”
Although in 2000, a law was passed to allow people to walk around 8% of England’s countryside. Some people say this isn’t good enough. Others point out that there are businesses that need to keep the land private. What do you think? Should people be allowed to walk wherever they like?
YES! — Nature belongs to everyone
Nowadays it is important for people to take a walk outdoors — for their mental and physical health. It encourages people and brings them 104 and relaxation.
Yet this space is not enough and is now surrounded by fences. To get closer to nature, most people have to travel for miles. Everyone should be able to get close to nature 105 . Blue sky, flying birds and green tree-lined paths should not belong to any private organization or person. But the truth is that such a small number of people own such huge amounts of land. Among every eight British houses, one has no gardens. This isn’t 106 .
NO! — The walking paths are enough
The land isn’t just for people’s enjoyment or health. For many people, it means family’s whole-year income. 107 , farmers need fields to keep their animals, like sheep or bulls, for a living. Also, it isn’t safe for walkers to walk around because the land may have many hidden 108 such as wetlands and snakes.
Moreover, walkers do not always show their respect. They leave gates open, litter everywhere, scare off birds and stand over plants. In fact, many people are not really looking for a connection with the wild. They just want a short walk with the nice scenery. The government should focus on making paths for walkers and leave the rest of the land alone.

AI is becoming more and more powerful, which makes some people worry that they will lose their jobs to machines. Nowadays, companies have released AI that can answer questions, write articles and create images. Now, even people in 109 fields must think about the possibility of AI replacing them. However, many experts (专家) still believe that these AI programs can’t really take the place of human beings.
Using AI for certain tasks may be a good thing. Perhaps AI will take over less interesting work and it allows people to do more satisfying jobs. For example, washing machines save people a lot of time, so they can use that extra time productively. 110 , AI may be able to take over dull tasks to let people do more proper thinking, since thinking up new ideas is something AI can’t do.
Another 111 for AI is human interaction (互动、交流). Most people prefer to communicate with humans rather than machines. Therefore, AI is unlikely to replace humans for jobs that require personal connection, such as advising or teaching. A robot can perform tasks, but it can’t truly care about others, and sometimes care is what people need.
AI can process data (数据) quickly, but it can only use data that it is given. So, it isn’t able to 112 situations that are quite different from those in its data. Therefore, although some AI programs can create content, 113 of them can be truly creative.
Finally, if AI receives wrong information, it has no way of recognizing or correcting it. Humans may also make mistakes, but life experience can make them learn from their mistakes. For the time being, AI does not have such an ability. 114 , AI must continually check the data to make sure its conclusions are accurate.

(23-24九年级下·上海浦东新·阶段练习)You know that pile of homework is due tomorrow, but you just find yourself putting it off and 115 actively looking for distractions (such as constantly checking emails or logging into a social networking site). If that sounds like what you do, chances are you are 116 by procrastination, which in a nutshell (简而言之), refers to that act of putting things off to a later time. But you’re not alone.
In fact, many people procrastinate to some degree. 117 , some are so seriously affected by procrastination that it stops them fulfilling their potential and disrupt life. So why do people procrastinate and how to get rid of the habit?
There are some frequently cited reasons. A fear of 118 , for instance, is often to blame. If you have a task to do and you’re unsure of your ability to do it, then it’s only natural that you’ll put it off. You need to protect your own ego and you don’t want to admit that, for whatever reason, you may not be able to successfully complete your job. But the thing is, that task will not go away and you still have to get it done on time.
In this case, the trick is to work out the exact reason why you’re afraid of failing. Often, you’ll realize that there is some technical reason for not wanting to attempt the task — that is, you just don’t have the 119 or skills require to do it. The answer is to be straight up about it with both yourself and others. 120 you have to learn the skills to the point where you can do the task (in which case, you’ll find that the task becomes rewarding once you are good at it), or you have to ask for help. Don’t just leave it! We all know where that leads — a bad place of bad consequences in your life and just more stress.
