As we were going out the door, a young teenage boy was coming in. This young man had no hair on the sides of his head and some blue hair on top of it. One of his nostrils was pierced (穿孔), and his ears were full of rings. He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under 7 . Caitlynd, who was walking ahead of me, stopped when she saw the teen. I thought he’d scared her and she’d frozen on the spot. I was wrong. My Grand Angel backed up against the door and opened it as 8 as it would go. Now I was face to face with the young man. I stepped aside and let him pass. His response was a kind “Thank you very much”. On our way to the car, I praised Caitlynd for her 9 in holding open the door for the young man. She didn’t seem to be 10 by his appearance but I wanted to make sure. If a grandmotherly talk about freedom of self-expression and allowing people their differences was in order, I wanted to be ready. It 11 that the person who needed the talk was me.

And it’s not just Western culture that has done this. Cultures in Japan, China, India, and Africa have done the same thing, but for different reasons. Let’s take a look at some commonly known lucky and unlucky numbers to see why they are loved or hated. ►7 Everyone knows that “7” is lucky. But 13 ? The root of most lucky numbers can be found in religion. God, for example, is said to have created the world in 7 days. Until the 1800s, there were seven known planets in the solar system (太阳系). Seven is even the usual number of spots on a ladybug (瓢虫) and ladybugs are considered good luck themselves. ►4 This number means bad luck in Asia. For example, the pronunciation of “4” in Chinese is very similar to the word “ 14 .” And because of this, “4” has been considered bad luck in China. ►666 “666” is a/an 15 number. It is extremely bad luck in Western culture but very good luck in many Asian countries. According to the Christian Bible (圣经), the number 666 means Satan (撒旦，魔鬼). It might be the most avoided number in Western culture. But in Asia, people love “666” because it 16 “things going smoothly,” and is considered to be very lucky. ►2 Not like western countries, in many Asian countries, “2” is good luck. It is thought that good things come in pairs, which is a phrase that 17 appears in Western culture. ►8 Maybe no people in the world likes the number “8” better than the Chinese. A recent report said that the phone number 8888-8888 was sold for over $200,000 in 18 . 13．A．when B．how C．why D．where 14．A．happiness B．death C．luck D．sadness 15．A．different B．boring C．difficult D．interesting 16．A．sounds like B．looks like C．feels like D．seems like 17．A．never B．still C．even D．only 18．A．America B．China C．Japan D．Africa （23-24八年级上·上海松江·期中）My Homestay Diary June 13 It’s my first week in the United States and my first time in another country. So much is new and 19 to me. It’s great to be here. I hope I do well! June 25 I live with an American host family: Valerie and Tim and their daughter, Megan. They’re really nice. Every day I learn something new. For example, this morning Valerie said, “Tim and I work 20 , and I can’t cook tonight. Help yourself to anything for dinner.” I didn’t understand Valerie. I thought she wanted help with dinner. 21 , I bought takeout for everyone. When Valerie came home, she said, “Daniela, why did you buy food? We have a lot.” I was confused! She 22 , “Help yourself means eat anything you want.” We laughed and ate the Chinese food anyway. July 1 My best friend from Brazil called today. I was really happy to talk to her, but after, I felt kind of down. Everything here is so 23 —the food, the people, even the weather (It gets cold here even in the summer sometimes!). July 5 Yesterday was Independence Day (独立日). It’s a big holiday here. My host family had a barbecue in their yard. Their friends and neighbors came. Everyone was very friendly and warm.

Do you agree? Nowadays all the information we could ever need is available online and some people say that means the end of having to learn anything. It is true that those days everything you want to know is a few clicks away as long as you have internet access. 31 , not everyone has working internet all the time, for example in certain buildings or remote locations, so we do need to be able to remember information. Moreover, it takes time to look up everything you need to know online, while remembering something is 32 . The human memory is a much more efficient system. Another problem is the 33 of the information online. How do we know if it is accurate or reliable? We need to think about other facts we know and remember how to 34 information from different websites.

If we did not remember anything, we would all spend even more time on our phones and computers than we already do, which is not good for society.

I just want to get the money that I deserve (应得的).” The king asked Birbal to 40 the argument between these two men. So the minister asked them more questions. He found out that the old man was a poor but honest man. The neighbour, 41 , was a cunning man who was trying to cheat (欺骗) the old man. At last, Birbal said to the neighbour, “This well belongs to the old man now, right?” “Yes, sir!” the neighbour replied. Birbal continued, “But you have put your water into his well. Either you should pay him the rent (租金) for it, or you should take all the water 42 it right now!” Of course, it was impossible to get all the groundwater. The neighbour found that he could not fool the minister. He hung his head and asked the old man to forgive (原谅) him.

At last, I was very nervous when facing the camera. I took a deep breath and looked around. The trees covered with magic rime, white snow and crystal ice, and the happy crowd immediately made me relax. I 63 finished my hosting task. Have this picture in your mind: you lie down on the soft snow, with the white coated trees around you. Your 64 is filled with snow. It is pure and quiet. All your worries and sorrows will be gone.

Maybe you think of a woman dressing in a white coat, surrounded (被……围绕) by test tubes and working 79 into the night. Perhaps you think of a gray-haired doctor making strange machines. Whatever you think of, the truth is that inventors are just real people. They come from all walks of life (各行各业), and from all over the world. They are of all ages. Some might 80 be younger than you! Brandon Whale was eight years old when he knew the PaceMate, which helps people who have pacemakers (心脏起搏器) for their hearts, like Brandon’s mother. When patients are 81 , they can send data about their heart through an electronic bracelet (手镯) to doctors in the hospital without stepping out of the door. However, this bracelet was too big for his mother, so Brandon found a way to make it smaller and more conductive (更具导电性), so it could send information better. Just like other inventors, Brandon Whale saw a need and found out 82 to fill it. That is exactly what inventing is. Someone works out a problem by putting things together in a whole new way. Inventing is not new. It is part of being human. In fact, humans have used tools they 83 for thousands of years. It is unlikely that people will ever stop inventing.

It controls every single thing you do. It is so 85 that a famous scientist once called it “the most complex (复杂) thing we have yet discovered”. Your brain is faster and 86 than a super computer. For example, your cat is on the kitchen table. She’s about to step onto a hot stove (炉子). You have only seconds to act. When you see her doing so, your brain quickly calculates when, where and at what speed you will need to stop her. Then it orders your body to move. Your timing is perfect and she’s safe. No computer can come close to your brain’s magic ability to process the information. Your brain changes when you 87 . Riding a bike seems impossible at first. But soon you can do it very well. How? As you practise, your brain sends “bike riding” messages over again and again. Those messages make new connections in your brain. In fact, your brain not only changes every time you practise something new, but also when you have a new idea or memory (记忆). Exercise helps make you stronger. It is well known that any exercise that makes your heart beat faster, like running or playing basketball, is great for your body and can 88 make you happy. Scientists have recently found that for a little time after you’ve exercised, your body produces (生产) something that makes your brain learn more quickly. 89 if you can’t work out a difficult problem, go out and play for a little while, and then try the problem again. You may just find that you’re able to work it out. 85．A．serious B．private C．important D．amazing 86．A．simpler B．more powerful C．cheaper D．more modern 87．A．learn B．work C．sleep D．play 88．A．seldom B．still C．even D．only 89．A．Yet B．So C．But D．Or 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！22 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题06 完形填空 （15篇） （23-24八年级上·上海黄埔·期中）My husband Bill, was diagnosed with cancer(癌症）.Over the course of seven months.he went from beating me silly at tennis to needing my help to go to the bathroom.

My Grand Angel backed up against the door and opened it as 8 as it would go. Now I was face to face with the young man. I stepped aside and let him pass. His response was a kind “Thank you very much”. On our way to the car, I praised Caitlynd for her 9 in holding open the door for the young man. She didn’t seem to be 10 by his appearance but I wanted to make sure. If a grandmotherly talk about freedom of self-expression and allowing people their differences was in order, I wanted to be ready. It 11 that the person who needed the talk was me. The only thing Caitlynd noticed about the teen, was the fact that his arms were full. “He would’ve had a hard time to open the door.” I saw the partially shaved head, the blue hair, the piercings and the earrings. She saw a person carrying something under each arm and heading toward a door. I’m always the one who is so quick to judge.

And it’s not just Western culture that has done this. Cultures in Japan, China, India, and Africa have done the same thing, but for different reasons. Let’s take a look at some commonly known lucky and unlucky numbers to see why they are loved or hated. ►7 Everyone knows that “7” is lucky. But 13 ? The root of most lucky numbers can be found in religion. God, for example, is said to have created the world in 7 days. Until the 1800s, there were seven known planets in the solar system (太阳系). Seven is even the usual number of spots on a ladybug (瓢虫) and ladybugs are considered good luck themselves. ►4 This number means bad luck in Asia. For example, the pronunciation of “4” in Chinese is very similar to the word “ 14 .” And because of this, “4” has been considered bad luck in China. ►666 “666” is a/an 15 number. It is extremely bad luck in Western culture but very good luck in many Asian countries. According to the Christian Bible (圣经), the number 666 means Satan (撒旦，魔鬼). It might be the most avoided number in Western culture. But in Asia, people love “666” because it 16 “things going smoothly,” and is considered to be very lucky. ►2 Not like western countries, in many Asian countries, “2” is good luck. It is thought that good things come in pairs, which is a phrase that 17 appears in Western culture. ►8 Maybe no people in the world likes the number “8” better than the Chinese. A recent report said that the phone number 8888-8888 was sold for over $200,000 in 18 . 13．A．when B．how C．why D．where 14．A．happiness B．death C．luck D．sadness 15．A．different B．boring C．difficult D．interesting 16．A．sounds like B．looks like C．feels like D．seems like 17．A．never B．still C．even D．only 18．A．America B．China C．Japan D．Africa 【答案】13．C 14．B 15．D 16．A 17．A 18．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了在不同文化中一些常见的吉利数字和不吉利数字，以及它们被人们喜欢或讨厌的原因。 13．句意：但是为什么呢？ when何时；how如何；why为什么；where哪里。根据“The root of most lucky numbers can be found in religion.”可知，是解释原因，上文应该是问为什么。故选C。 14．句意：例如，“4”在汉语中的发音与“死”非常相似，因此，“4”在中国被认为是不吉利的。 happiness幸福；death死亡；luck运气；sadness悲伤。根据“And because of this, ‘4’ has been considered bad luck in China.”以及常识可知，“4”在汉语中的发音与“死”非常相似。故选B。 15．句意：“666”是一个有趣的数字。 different不同的；boring无聊的；difficult困难的；interesting有趣的。根据“It is extremely bad luck in Western culture but very good luck in many Asian countries.”可知，这个数字有趣，因为有不同的意思。故选D。 16．句意：但在亚洲，人们喜欢“666”，因为它听起来像“一切顺利”，被认为是非常幸运的。 sounds like听起来像；looks like看起来像；feel slike感觉像；seems like似乎像。根据“things going smoothly”可知，是听起来像是很顺利。故选A。 17．句意：人们认为好事成双，这是西方文化中从未出现过的一句话。 never从不；still仍然；even甚至；only仅仅。根据“Not like western countries, in many Asian countries, ‘2’ is good luck.”可知，西方国家不存在这种成双的概念，用否定词never。故选A。 18．句意：最近的一份报告称，电话号码8888-8888在中国以超过20万美元的价格售出。 America美国；China中国；Japan日本；Africa非洲。根据“Maybe no people in the world likes the number ‘8’ better than the Chinese.”可知，应该是在中国卖出的。故选B。 （23-24八年级上·上海松江·期中）My Homestay Diary June 13 It’s my first week in the United States and my first time in another country.

It is true that those days everything you want to know is a few clicks away as long as you have internet access. 31 , not everyone has working internet all the time, for example in certain buildings or remote locations, so we do need to be able to remember information. Moreover, it takes time to look up everything you need to know online, while remembering something is 32 . The human memory is a much more efficient system. Another problem is the 33 of the information online. How do we know if it is accurate or reliable? We need to think about other facts we know and remember how to 34 information from different websites. Knowing (and remembering) how to find certain information will be more important than knowing the information itself. Finally, the internet is a good tool but it cannot take the place of our 35 . If we did not remember anything, we would all spend even more time on our phones and computers than we already do, which is not good for society.
