Ice Cream Ingredients Were Pricey To make ice cream you need milk, ice, salt and sugar. In the 1700s, most families could not a 2 these. First, the family would need a cow. They would need to be able to keep some of the cow’s milk for t 3 . Most families had to sell all of their milk to make money. Ice had to be cut from a nearby river or creek in the winter.

Before he died, he began a new symphony, but never f 1 it. Computer scientists and musicians have now used artificial intelligence(AI人工智能)to complete his 10th Symphony. Beethoven was born over 250 years ago, yet his music is still played daily around the world. Beethoven wrote many famous pieces of music, especially his nine symphonies. When Beethoven died in 1827, he had some ideas for a 10th  Symphony. But all that he left b 2 were some notes about the piece and a few “sketches”-short bits of written music. In 2019, a special team of  musicians, computer scientists, and historians was formed. Their g 3 is to try to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony to celebrate his 250th birthday. The team didn’t just want to complete the symphony, they wanted to come as close as possible to producing the symphony that Beethoven meant to write. That’s where AI came in. To t 4 an AI to help with the symphony, the team turned every piece of music that Beethoven ever wrote into a form the computer could understand. In this way, the AI could look for patterns in the way Beethoven wrote. Other members of the team studied Beethoven’s notes and sketches, and worked to figure out what Beethoven was p 5 to do. One early test told the team they were on the r 6 track. They took a few minutes of music created by the AI based on Beethoven’s sketches, and played it for Beethoven experts, musicians, and reporters. No one could tell which parts had been written by Beethoven and which parts the AI made up. It took the team over two years to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony. Recently, it was performed for the first rime ever by the Beethoven Orchestra in Bonn, Germany. So Beethoven now has a 10th Symphony. And t 7 Beethoven didn’t write it all, the team feels sure that the music is very much like what he might have written. （2022·上海长宁·一模）How hard is to learn to read? The challenge is much greater for people with a kind of disease, dyslexia (阅读障碍症). Dyslexia is a reading problem that affects about one out of every ten people. Dyslexia has nothing to do with intelligence, but Dyslexics have a h 1 time reading written words. When most children begin to read, they learn the sounds that make up words. Then they connect the sounds to letters and blend the sounds to make words. At last they can r 2 words they’ve sounded out. But children with dyslexia have trouble remembering the sounds and the letters that go with them. A 3 dyslexia can’t be cured, there are ways to help people with dyslexia learn to read. Students can work with a specially-trained teacher to learn how to remember sounds. They can practice how to m 4 their mouths to make certain sounds. Another way to help is to give students stories to read, using a special font (字体). A font is a set of the letters of the alphabet, in a certain style. Christian Boer is a Dutch designer who created a special dyslexic-friendly font called “dyslexic.” Christian has dyslexia, and he wanted to do something to make reading easier for people like him. He made each letter look different, so readers are l 5 likely to get confused. Christian has won awards for creating this font. Scientists are studying special dyslexic fonts to decide w 6 they really help people with dyslexia to read faster and more accurately. So far, the results are mixed. However, scientists are sure that careful font design is an important s 7 toward helping dyslexics meet their challenges. （2022·上海嘉定·一模）Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给)。 On Dec 9, three Chinese astronauts who are working aboard the Tiangong Space Station, gave a lecture above Earth and showed millions of students their life there. They also did some fun s 1 experiments. Let’s take a look at some of them. Use it or lose it The human body grows with the pull of Earth’s gravity (重力). But in space, our bones and muscles don’t need to s 2 our body’s weight. This will cause bone and muscle loss. It is said that astronauts can lose up to 20 percent of their muscles after just a couple of weeks. That is dangerous for astronauts because they will be too w 3 to work. Astronauts have different ways to prevent this. During the lecture, Zhai introduced a special uniform Ye was wearing. It’s called a “penguin suit”. It can keep their muscles strong. Wang also showed students how she walked on a treadmill (跑步机) and rode a bicycle. Astronauts usually e 4 with these tools every day to keep their body strong. Space water is different During another experiment, Wang made a water film (膜). Then she added more water drops onto the film to make it a water ball. But this can n 5 happen on Earth. Why? We need to first u 6 the surface tension (表面张力) of water. Surface tension is like a “skin” of water. The “skin” is there because water molecules (分子) are drawn to each other. One example on the Earth is that some bugs (昆虫) can “walk on water”. Most of the time, gravity is too strong and it breaks the “skin”. But with zero gravity in space, the “skin” stays much stronger and the water ball will not b 7 . Space water is different in many other ways from that on Earth. For example, water will not flow downward if you try to pour it into a cup. If astronauts cry, the tears will not fall down.

One day, Emily saw that he had t 2 getting toothpaste (牙膏) out of the tube. She made an invention that helped him with this, and won the Young Engineer for Britain Award for her toothpaste dispenser. A few years later, Emily learnt about the serious water shortage in some African countries. The women and children there often walk many kilometres a day to get water for their villages. They usually put the buckets on their heads. Therefore, they have to walk c 3 so as not to spill (溅出) the water. Emily’s invention is a simple water carrier. It makes it possible for the women to transport up to five buckets each time. Besides, it is easy for them to r 4 the water carrier when it is broken as it is made of wood. Her latest project is a simple fridge that runs without electricity, but only needs the e 5 that comes from the sun. There are now thousands of families in villages in Zambia, Namibia and South Africa who use it to keep milk, food and medicines cool. Emily is now a young woman. She is the winner of several p 6 for her inventions. She was named one of the world’s top ten young people. Emily frequently visits schools and talks to teenagers. She wants to e 7 them to come up with new ideas that make the world a better place. She wants to use her skills to make a difference. 【答案】1．(c)reative 2．(t)rouble 3．(c)arefully 4．(r)epair 5．(e)nergy 6．(p)rizes 7．(e)ncourage 【分析】本文是记叙文，短文讲述了“世界十大青年”人物艾米丽的创新故事。 1．句意：当她十几岁的时候，她很有创造力，总是想着发明来帮助别人。设空处作表语，根据下文“and always thought lot about making inventions to help other people”和首字母提示，可知是说艾米丽喜欢创新，creative“创造性的”符合语境，故填(c)reative。 2．句意：有一天，艾米丽发现他很难把牙膏从管子里取出来。have trouble doing sth.表示“做某事有困难”，是固定短语，故填(t)rouble。 3．句意：因此，他们必须小心走路，以免把水洒出来。设空处修饰动词walk需用副词，根据下文“so as not to spill the water”和首字母提示，可知需小心谨慎，carefully“小心地”符合语境，故填(c)arefully。 4．句意：此外，当水车坏了，她们很容易修理，因为它是木制的。本句是固定句型“It is +形容词+ for sb. +不定式短语”结构，表示“对某人来说做某事是……的”，it是形式主语，后面的不定式是真正主语；根据下文“when it is broken ”和首字母提示，可知是说修理水车，repair“修理”符合语境，故填(r)epair。 5．句意：她的最新项目是一个简单的冰箱，无需电力，只是需要来自太阳的能量。定冠词the后接名词，根据上下文“that runs without electricity, but only needs the…that comes from the sun”和首字母提示，可知需要来自太阳的能量，energy表示“能源”，是不可数名词，符合语境，故填(e)nergy。 6．句意：她的发明使她获得了好几项大奖。根据题干“She is the winner of several…for her inventions”和首字母提示，可知是说艾米丽得了几项大奖，prize“奖赏”符合语境；由several可知用复数形式，故填(p)rizes。 7．句意：她想鼓励他们提出新的想法，让世界变得更美好。根据上下文“Emily frequently visits schools and talks to teenagers…to come up with new ideas”和首字母提示，可知艾米丽鼓励他们创新，encourage“鼓励”符合语境；want to do sth.“想要做某事”是固定结构，故填(e)ncourage。 （2022·上海青浦·一模）Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词， 是其内容通顺，每空格限填一次，首字母已给） Beethoven(贝多芬)is famous for his nine symphonies(交响乐). Before he died, he began a new symphony, but never f 1 it. Computer scientists and musicians have now used artificial intelligence(AI人工智能)to complete his 10th Symphony. Beethoven was born over 250 years ago, yet his music is still played daily around the world. Beethoven wrote many famous pieces of music, especially his nine symphonies. When Beethoven died in 1827, he had some ideas for a 10th  Symphony. But all that he left b 2 were some notes about the piece and a few “sketches”-short bits of written music. In 2019, a special team of  musicians, computer scientists, and historians was formed. Their g 3 is to try to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony to celebrate his 250th birthday. The team didn’t just want to complete the symphony, they wanted to come as close as possible to producing the symphony that Beethoven meant to write. That’s where AI came in. To t 4 an AI to help with the symphony, the team turned every piece of music that Beethoven ever wrote into a form the computer could understand. In this way, the AI could look for patterns in the way Beethoven wrote. Other members of the team studied Beethoven’s notes and sketches, and worked to figure out what Beethoven was p 5 to do. One early test told the team they were on the r 6 track. They took a few minutes of music created by the AI based on Beethoven’s sketches, and played it for Beethoven experts, musicians, and reporters. No one could tell which parts had been written by Beethoven and which parts the AI made up. It took the team over two years to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony. Recently, it was performed for the first rime ever by the Beethoven Orchestra in Bonn, Germany. So Beethoven now has a 10th Symphony. And t 7 Beethoven didn’t write it all, the team feels sure that the music is very much like what he might have written. 【答案】1．(f)inished 2．(b)ehind 3．(g)oal 4．(t)rain/(t)each 5．(p)lanning/(p)reparing 6．(r)ight 7．(t)hough 【分析】这篇短文主要讲述了著名的音乐家贝多芬在他去世之前，他开始了一部新的交响乐，但从未完成过。计算机科学家和音乐家通过人工智能想完成他的第十交响曲。 1．句意：在他去世之前，他开始了一部新的交响乐，但从未完成。根据“Before he died, he began a new symphony,”及下文but转折连词，可知此处是“但从未完成”，整篇短文是过去时态，finish“完成”，是动词，过去式是finished，故填(f)inished。 2．句意：但他留下的只是一些关于这首曲子的笔记和一些“草图”——些短小的书面音乐。根据“were some notes about the piece and a few “sketches”-short bits of written music.”可知，此处是“但他留下的所有”，短语leave behind“留下”，故填(b)ehind。 3．句意：他们的目标是完成贝多芬的第十交响曲，以庆祝他的250岁生日。根据“to try to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony to celebrate his 250th birthday.”可知，此处是“他们的目标是……”，their是形容词性物主代词，后加名词，goal“目标”，是名词，谓语动词是单数is，主语应为单数，故填(g)oal。 4．句意：为了训练/教授人工智能帮助创作交响乐，该团队将贝多芬创作的每一首音乐都转换成计算机可以理解的形式。to是动词不定式，后加动词原形，根据“an AI to help with the symphony”可知，此处是训练/教授人工智能，短语train/teach sb. to do sth.“训练/教授某人做某事”，train“训练”，是动词；teach“教”，是动词，故填(t)rain/(t)each。 5．句意：团队中的其他成员研究了贝多芬的笔记和草图，并努力找出贝多芬正在计划/准备做什么。根据语境知是过去进行时，其结构是was doing的形式，根据“and worked to figure out”可知，此处是“并努力找出贝多芬正在计划/准备做什么”，plan“计划”，是动词，现在分词是planning；prepare“准备”，是动词，现在分词是preparing，故填(p)lanning/(p)reparing。 6．句意：一个早期测试告诉团队他们在正确的轨道上。根据“They took a few minutes of music created by the AI based on Beethoven’s sketches, and played it for Beethoven experts, musicians, and reporters.”可知，他们在正确的轨道上，track是名词，空前用形容词修饰，right“正确的”，是形容词，故填(r)ight。 7．句意：虽然贝多芬并没有写下所有的作品，但团队确信这首音乐与他可能写的非常相似。根据“the team feels sure that the music is very much like what he might have written.”可知，此处是让步状语从句，though“虽然”，是连词，引导让步状语从句，故填(t)hough。 （2022·上海长宁·一模）How hard is to learn to read? The challenge is much greater for people with a kind of disease, dyslexia (阅读障碍症). Dyslexia is a reading problem that affects about one out of every ten people. Dyslexia has nothing to do with intelligence, but Dyslexics have a h 1 time reading written words. When most children begin to read, they learn the sounds that make up words. Then they connect the sounds to letters and blend the sounds to make words. At last they can r 2 words they’ve sounded out. But children with dyslexia have trouble remembering the sounds and the letters that go with them. A 3 dyslexia can’t be cured, there are ways to help people with dyslexia learn to read. Students can work with a specially-trained teacher to learn how to remember sounds. They can practice how to m 4 their mouths to make certain sounds. Another way to help is to give students stories to read, using a special font (字体). A font is a set of the letters of the alphabet, in a certain style. Christian Boer is a Dutch designer who created a special dyslexic-friendly font called “dyslexic.” Christian has dyslexia, and he wanted to do something to make reading easier for people like him. He made each letter look different, so readers are l 5 likely to get confused. Christian has won awards for creating this font. Scientists are studying special dyslexic fonts to decide w 6 they really help people with dyslexia to read faster and more accurately. So far, the results are mixed. However, scientists are sure that careful font design is an important s 7 toward helping dyslexics meet their challenges. 【答案】1．(h)ard 2．(r)ecognize/(r)ecognise 3．(A)lthough 4．(m)ove 5．(l)ess 6．(w)hether 7．(s)tep 【分析】本文主要关于阅读障碍症，介绍阅读障碍症患者如何阅读书面文字以及能帮助他们阅读的特殊字体。 1．句意：阅读困难症与智力无关，但阅读障碍症患者很难阅读书面文字。根据“When most children begin to read, they learn the sounds that make up words.”可知，阅读障碍症患者很难阅读书面文字，hard“困难的”，符合语境。故填(h)ard。 2．句意：最后，他们能识别出他们听到的单词。根据“When most children begin to read, they learn the sounds that make up words.

They also did some fun s 1 experiments. Let’s take a look at some of them. Use it or lose it The human body grows with the pull of Earth’s gravity (重力). But in space, our bones and muscles don’t need to s 2 our body’s weight. This will cause bone and muscle loss. It is said that astronauts can lose up to 20 percent of their muscles after just a couple of weeks. That is dangerous for astronauts because they will be too w 3 to work. Astronauts have different ways to prevent this. During the lecture, Zhai introduced a special uniform Ye was wearing. It’s called a “penguin suit”. It can keep their muscles strong. Wang also showed students how she walked on a treadmill (跑步机) and rode a bicycle. Astronauts usually e 4 with these tools every day to keep their body strong. Space water is different During another experiment, Wang made a water film (膜). Then she added more water drops onto the film to make it a water ball. But this can n 5 happen on Earth. Why? We need to first u 6 the surface tension (表面张力) of water. Surface tension is like a “skin” of water. The “skin” is there because water molecules (分子) are drawn to each other. One example on the Earth is that some bugs (昆虫) can “walk on water”. Most of the time, gravity is too strong and it breaks the “skin”. But with zero gravity in space, the “skin” stays much stronger and the water ball will not b 7 . Space water is different in many other ways from that on Earth. For example, water will not flow downward if you try to pour it into a cup. If astronauts cry, the tears will not fall down. They have to wipe them away! 【答案】1．(s)cience/(s)cientific/(s)pace/(s)urprising/(s)pecial 2．(s)upport 3．(w)eak 4．(e)xercise 5．(n)ever/(n)ot 6．(u)nderstand 7．(b)reak/(b)urst 【分析】本文是新闻通讯，短文介绍了三名在天宫空间站工作的中国宇航员，在地球上向数百万学生展示了一些有趣的科学实验。 1．句意：他们还做了一些有趣的科学实验。设空处修饰名词experiments，根据上文“On Dec 9, three Chinese astronauts who are working aboard the Tiangong Space Station, gave a lecture above Earth and showed millions of students their life there”和首字母提示，可知，可以是科学实验，也可以是太空实验，或者特别的实验，令人惊讶的实验；science“科学”/scientific“科学的”/space“太空”/surprising“令人惊讶的”/special“特别的”符合语境，故填(s)cience/(s)cientific/(s)pace/(s)urprising/(s)pecial。 2．句意：但在太空中，我们的骨骼和肌肉不需要支撑我们的体重。but表转折，根据上文“The human body grows with the pull of Earth’s gravity”和首字母提示，可知是说在失重状态下骨骼和肌肉不需要支撑宇航员的体重，support“支撑”符合语境；not need to do表示“不需要做某事”，是固定结构，故填(s)upport。 3．句意：这对宇航员来说很危险，因为他们太虚弱了，无法工作。too…to…表示“太……而不能”，too修饰形容词或副词，是固定结构；根据上文“It is said that astronauts can lose up to 20 percent of their muscles after just a couple of weeks”和首字母提示，可知宇航员失去20%的肌肉会导致身体虚弱，weak“虚弱的”符合语境，故填(w)eak。 4．句意：宇航员通常每天用这些工具锻炼以保持身体强壮。本句缺谓语动词，根据下文“to keep their body strong”和首字母提示，可知是用这些工具锻炼，exercise“锻炼”符合语境；结合“every day”可知，本句陈述事实用一般现在时，Astronauts是复数人称，动词需用原形。故填(e)xercise。 5．句意：但这在地球上是不可能发生的。but表转折，根据上文“Then she added more water drops onto the film to make it a water ball”和首字母提示，可知本句是否定意义，是说在地球上不可能发生这种事，never和not都表否定，故填(n)ever##(n)ot。 6．句意：我们首先需要了解水的表面张力。根据题干“We need to first…the surface tension of water”和首字母提示，可知是说要了解水的表面张力，understand“理解”符合语境；need to do“想要做某事”是固定结构，故填(u)nderstand。 7．句意：但在太空中失重的情况下，“皮肤”会更坚固，水球也不会破裂。but表转折，根据上文“Most of the time, gravity is too strong and it breaks the ‘skin’”和首字母提示，可知是说失重状态下水球不会破裂，break和burst都可表示“爆裂”，符合语境；助动词will后接原形动词，故填(b)reak##(b)urst。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
