Wearing hats and scarves In China, starting in Minor Snow, the wind blows from the northeast a lot. Because it’s still not that cold, many people do not wear hats or scarves yet.

Here is some 1 that might help you. Take away things that disturb you First, you need to take away all the things that stop you from working. I know many teenagers like 2 to music when they are doing homework. However, you’d better turn it off. You will probably be attracted by the lyrics and forget what you should do next. Music doesn’t help you study. Next, put the dog outside if you have 3 ! Every time the dog goes into your room, you stop studying to pet it. Also, run off your phone. Yes. It stops you from working. If you turn it off, it’s e 4 to pay more attention to the things you are working on. However, you don’t need to turn off the Internet on your computer. You may need it to look up information but you should turn off your instant (即时的) messages. You can read them 5 Have some preparation and rest Some preparation 6 study and proper’ rest during it can help you study effectively. For example, have an apple and a glass of water on your desk before you start so that you don’t need to go to the kitchen for something to eat or drink. Have breaks. Study shows that your brain will be more effective i 7 you can get proper rest during working. I always study for thirty minutes at a time. Then have a break for five minutes. I move my arms and legs and drink some water. Then I study again for 8 thirty minutes. It’s important to have a short rest during study. I hope my suggestions above can be helpful! （23-24九年级上·重庆沙坪坝·期中） Have you ever shown your photos on your favorite social media (社交媒体) or have you expressed your feelings and emotions on your online page? If so, do you know what you have posted on the social medias can 1 problems you could not expect? Cathy, a girl who is going to be fifteen, posted online an invitation to her birthday party with her a 2 in it. And guess what! 500 people came to the party, and some even broke the windows and plants, making a total mess of the house. The girl’s birthday party turned into a bad dream. Many teenagers think they know everything about social media, and that such a thing could never happen to them. 3 , studies show that each year more than three million young people in the world get into trouble because of their online activities. So do remember these if you really want to share something online. Share with care! Not everyone will like 4 you write online. Think before you post anything. You never know who sees your texts, pictures or videos. Before clicking “post”, ask 5 , “How will I feel if my family or teachers see this?” and “How might this post be bad for me in five or ten years from now?” Be polite when writing! Imagine how you feel if someone is 6 in real life. The same is true of online communication. No one likes it when you “shout” in your messages. So, it’s necessary for you to read your message again and make sure there’s no unsuitable (合适的) words before you send it. P 7 and respect! Never share your passwords (密码) with anyone else and it’s not wise to post your personal information online or you may put yourself in a dangerous situation. What’s more, don’t say bad things about people online and always remember that the best way to respect yourself is to respect others. If you get messages like that or sec them online, talk 8 your parents or your teachers immediately. I’d say none of the suggestions above can promise 100% online safety, but each will help you to be safer. （23-24九年级上·重庆九龙坡·期中） Chopsticks, also called “zhu” in ancient times, have a long history in China. I have used them all my life, but it was only recently that I realized the deep 1 behind them. What can we learn from the mere (微不足道的) chopsticks? Aim (目标) If you’ve ever tried using them, you know that you can’t get what you want by just haphazardly stabbing (随意乱戳) at the plate. To get what you want, you have to aim for it. There’s no way you can p 2 up everything in one go. Sometimes, a little bit of focus (关注) leads 3 different results. 4 Eating with chopsticks is not easy. There’s no better way to practice than just to look at the delicious food and tell yourself that you can’t have any until you can use chopsticks to get it. In real life, how will you learn to practice? You can learn from books about all you want. However, they will only be in books 5 you try to practice doing them. So don’t just watch o 6 eat but try to practice using chopsticks by yourself. Slowing Down A common health suggestion is to try to eat with chopsticks slowly. Because it slows you down and allows your stomach to tell your brain you’re 7 before you eat too much. Eating with chopsticks is slow. Sometimes we need to slow down and take things one step at a time, 8 that we have time to think that we’re full and that we don’t have to keep full speed through life. Sometimes it’s nice to enjoy each morsel (小事) of life as it comes. （23-24九年级上·重庆北碚·期中） Many successful people follow a similar routine (常规). This helps them make the best use of their days.

Studies show that a 15﹣minute bath an hour or two before bedtime helps them sleep better. Sleeping well tonight means a good day tomorrow. Put the phone down Studies show that the blue light from a phone is bad for our sleep. Successful people control (控制) their phone use. They don’t 3 with their phones nearby. They put phones away an hour 4 bedtime and they use an alarm clock to wake up. Think about today Before sleep, it helps to think about the day. Many 5 people think about the good things from the day. This helps them to learn and to change. It also 6 them to make a plan for a good (perhaps even better) day tomorrow. Make a 7 Many successful people make plans for their activities the next day. It helps them sleep well. This is important because sleeping b 8 some times makes everything seem worse the next day. Making plans also helps them wake up relaxed, happy and ready for the new day. （23-24九年级上·重庆九龙坡·期中） A festival is a celebration. Festivals are popular around the world for many 1 . They are fun and can be a good chance for families and friends to spend time together. The Lantern Festival is just like any of them. The Lantern Festival (also known as Yuanxiao Festival) 2 about 2, 000 years ago in China. The festival falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month of the Chinese New Year. As a result, the exact (确切的) date of the festival is 3 every year. For example, in 2023, the date was 5th February, in 2024, the date will be 24th February. Many stories are told about how this festival began. Here is one of 4 . In ancient China, there lived a palace maid (女仆) named Yuanxiao. The king kept her working day and night and didn’t allow her to go back home so she 5 her family very much. Yuanxiao had a friend called Dongfang Shuo, an officer who was trusted by the king. Yuanxiao asked Shuo for help 6 she thought he was the only one who could help her. Shuo really wanted to help Yuanxiao and came up with a clever idea. He told the king that the God of Fire was angry with the country and decided to punish the people on the 15th day of the first month of the lunar year. Hearing this, the king was worried and he had difficulty eating and sleeping. And then, Yuanxiao told the king that because the god liked to watch fire shows and hear the loud sounds, they would please him 7 setting off firecrackers (鞭炮) and hanging red lanterns. The king had no other choices, and he agreed. When the day came, Yuanxiao led all the people to set off firecrackers and the lanterns shone brightly like big fire. She also helped make delicious dumplings for the god to eat. L 8 , the plan worked in the end and the king announced (宣布) happily that Yuanxiao could go home and see her family and friends. Since then, the Lantern Festival has become a time for families and friends to get together. （23-24九年级上·重庆南岸·期中） Even if there’s so much about English that can be learned from a book or even in a traditional classroom setting, a lot of the language can still be learned best in more relaxing situations where students are having 1 . Here are some suggestions about it. ★Communicate with strangers. If you live in an area filled 2 English speakers, get students out of the classroom. Put them among other English speakers. Students may not speak to strangers, but they’ll hear conversations taking place and may begin to understand how the words learned in the classroom are actually 3 in everyday speech. ★Let their guard down. One difficult thing for learners is confidence when they speak English. Fun activities, e 4 those outside of the classroom, give students a chance to feel relaxed. They will speak more freely. It may take a bit of time at the beginning, but once students get into it, they’ll start to be more 5 . ★Make use of English media (媒体). Most recorded language instruction is pretty boring and it can get tiring hearing the same voice repeat the same phrases. You can let students go to a movie in English. They will hear common expressions and more everyday conversations in the movie. If they’re not sure about s 6 they hear, it can turn into a more formal lesson once back in the classroom. ★ 7 or use English in situations. Casual (随意的) conversations give learners the chance to hear or use English in situations. They can talk all they want about expressions to use 8 dining out or informal words to use with friends, but it takes a trip to McDonald’s or a picnic in the park for many to those expressions to truly set in. （23-24九年级上·重庆江津·期中） There is an old Spanish saying, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” How many times have we put o 1 our dreams until tomorrow? I’d say there are too many. Our dreams should not, and cannot wait. We have to go for them now! Here’s why. Tomorrow doesn’t always come If today were the last day of your life, would you want to just sit around wasting time? Nobody likes to talk about death, but the truth is that everybody is going to die one day. Therefore, today is all we have. Make the decision to go after (追逐) every 2 , no matter how big or small the dream is right now. The world is waiting on your talents You may find it hard to believe, but the world is waiting on YOU! Yes, YOU! You were born with a unique (独一无二的) talent into the world. From the beginning 3 the end of the lifelong journey, your talents will always be your own, and a part of you. So it is your responsibility (责任) to 4 out what your talent is, and use it to better your life and the lives of those around you. Take the first step You can dream about writing the great American play all you want, but it’s never going to happen 5 you actually put pen to paper. In other words (换句话说), dreams don’t work unless you do. You need to get your head out of the clouds, and do something to make dreams come 6 . Don’t let fear win One of the biggest dream killers is fear. Compared with fear, other dream 7 are much smaller. In fact, fear is not real. It is only a product of thoughts you create. Imagine how much happier you’ll be if you’re living the life you always dream about. Go after them today! Don’t keep your dreams w 8 . （23-24九年级上·重庆·期中） Like many other foreigners, Rosalind Oliver’s first touch of Chinese Tai Chi came from popular kung fu movies.

Reporter: Can you remember when you started playing table tennis? Sun: When I was about 5 years old in the kindergarten. My parents were 1 busy with work that they didn’t have time to take care of me and then sent me to play table tennis. Surprisingly, I found it enjoyable. Reporter: I remember when I went to learn table tennis, I saw many children cry. Sun: I cried, too, especially when I didn’t do well in games. I practiced so hard but I still lost, which made me want to give up. During the worst days, I was even 2 from the training. My coach didn’t shout at me. Instead, he watched the game I lost with me and pointed out patiently why I 3 to make it. I realized that tears didn’t help at all, so I got back into training again. Reporter: Can you say something about your teammates in the national table team? Sun: Well, all of my teammates are very excellent. 4 they are the athletes (运动员) who joined the team earlier like me or those who have just joined the team, they all have their own talents and highlights. Everyone in my team is the top athlete in the world, but the chances to compete with the foreign athletes in some important competitions are g 5 to me, so I think I am very lucky. Reporter: With an increasing 6 of people taking part in playing table tennis, what would you say to encourage them? Sun: Remain your love and stay focused. I’m happy to see more and more people, including children, become table tennis lovers and take up table tennis training. If you truly love it, I hope you can keep on fighting 7 your dreams no matter what difficulties you will meet. Table tennis is China’s national sport and our national team never lets us down, but I think we have been used to the result that gold medals must belong to China, and we can’t accept any unexpected failure, which is not right. What makes competitive sports attractive (吸引人的) is that 8 can expect the result until the last second. （23-24九年级上·重庆渝中·期中） Sometimes, it is not that easy to decide which tasks（任务）to focus on first. Even 1 you know what needs doing, you still need to think about the order. So try the 3-3-3 method（方法）. This method is from Oliver Burkeman. He 2 planning your workday using a 3-3-3 method. First, spend three hours working on the most important p 3 of your tasks. Then, deal with three other urgent（紧急的）ones that don’t need three hours of attention.

Starting with 4 means you’ll be fresh and ready to finish a task without distractions（分心）. Try not to do with your emails, texts, chats, 5 other less important things during those three hours as much as you can. （Learn more about deep work here.） Deep work leads 6 a lot of productivity（生产率）.

This way, you can stay active even when turning to less demanding（要求高的）tasks. （23-24九年级上·重庆渝北·期中） Spain (西班牙) is famous for its tomato festival. It happens on the last Wednesday of August every year. During the festival there are all 1 of activities, but the most exciting part is the tomato 2 . It takes place at the end of too long celebration. Before the tomato fight, there are parades (游行), musical bands, street parties and so on. 3 that day, shopkeepers close their windows and doors to keep away from the tomato fight.

It is usually over in less than half an hour. Everyone then sets out to the river to clean up. Sounds like fun! （23-24九年级上·重庆沙坪坝·期中） Facing Challenges Life is full of challenges. They can be difficult but also offer valuable chances for growth. Some people become stronger after defeating hard situations, while others feel sad and unhappy. In fact, how we deal with challenges depends mainly on 1 . First, we need to believe that we can learn and improve 2 challenges. It means seeing challenges as chances to learn new abilities or knowledge, not as signs of failure which we always refuse. Instead of running away from challenges, we should face and a 3 them, and then we should encourage ourselves to do our best. For example, 4 we have trouble with a subject at school and make many mistakes in the exam, we can ask teachers or friends for help, practice more, and learn from our m 5 to find what we need to improve. Second, we should also learn lessons from others who have dealt with similar challenges and succeeded. Reading about inspiring(鼓舞人心的) people, talking to teachers, or joining support groups can offer us motivation(动力) and support. Knowing that we are not 6 and that others have faced similar problems can increase our confidence and determination. Finally, we must remember that failures are short-lived, and we need to 7 moving forward. No matter how hard we try, we might not always succeed at the first or even the second try. Yet, we should not give up. 8 , we should think about what we have learned and adjust(调整) our plans, and continue to try again. In the end, we will find our ways to face challenges and we will be more confident and successful in life. （22-23九年级上·重庆沙坪坝·期中） Have you noticed that the phrase “You’re welcome” has largely been taken place by two new words — “No problem.”? Here is an example: Shop assistant, “Here’s your change, Madam.” Me, “Thank you.” Shop assistant, “No problem.” But to me, “No problem” is a 1 . I want to be thanked for going to a shop. I don’t want this automatic (机械的) reply. “You are welcome” means “You are welcome to shop here; thanks for 2 us to help you.” When I hear “no problem”, what I think is: “You’re not helping me. I’ll go somewhere else next time.” There are some 3 annoying phrases, of course. But this one especially seems to just push people to one side. It seems to say, “I’ve taken care of you, so now leave me alone.” It seems that 4 the shop assistant wants to say is that you are actually not “welcome”. It’s part of a whole, lazy culture. People don’t notice each other. People can’t be bothered (打搅). People sit 5 in cafes, but they don’t talk. They just look at their mobile phones. If you ask one of these people to move their chair a little 6 you can sit down, they reply, “No problem.” I don’t feel that means “You’re welcome to 7 the table.” I feel it means “No problem that you only bothered me a bit.” Lots of people think this phrase is mainly used by younger people, just 8 another word “whatever”. But actually, “no problem” crosses generations (一代人). It’s taken hold in a way that fits no single group of people. There is “no problem” wherever you go. Next time you’re about to say those two words, stop for a minute. Make eye contact, and say with a smile: “You’re welcome.” Be a bit more polite? No problem. （22-23九年级上·重庆渝中·期中） What does it mean to be green? Green is more than just a 1 . It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. Buying a green product is a small step everyone can take. Deciding 2 a product is green, however, isn’t always easy. We need to consider the whole life cycle of the product even after it’s of no use. Here is what we may keep in mind. The materials of a product are usually the first thing we need to pay attention to. What is it 3 of? Are there any harmful chemicals(有害化学物质) in it? Green products are made of more natural materials which are free from harmful chemicals, so 4 can be good for our physical health. Packing is important. How is a product packed? Is it over packed? We’d better choose glass and paper packaging as these can be reused. We can 5 look for less packing or even choose unbagged products if it’s possible. Location matters. Where was a product produced? Where are we buying it? Try to choose 6 products. When it comes to food, it is a good idea to order directly from farmers, shop at markets and buy fruits in season in your own town or city. Buying from stores near our houses is also a good choice because we can go there 7 driving a car. Look into what companies(公司) tell us about their product. It’s easy to say that a product is “green” or “all natural” but the words may be too good to be true. So, much of the information about a product can’t be completely believed. After all, companies try to make us believe that their products are environmentally responsible(负有责任的). We should develop a habit of buying what we really need. Things like food and clothing are necessary for life, but many others 8 . Better than buying is choosing to leave an unnecessary product in the store. It sends the message to the producer — keeping money in our pockets, reducing waste and keeping the planet healthy. （22-23九年级上·重庆南岸·期中） Waving her 5-year-old daughter goodbye, Wang Yaping, together with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu, went into space aboard the Shenzhou XIII on October 16.

As astronauts, women have their own advantages. “Women are more patient and better deal with loneliness.” Said Wang, “Women’s hearts are 7 to get used to the weightless environment, making them more suitable for long-term missions.” Retired NASA astronaut Catherine Coleman sent a message to Wang before the Shenzhou XIII trip. “When you look out the window and 8 the stars and the Earth, billions of women will be looking out that window with you.” Wang carries the spirit of every young woman who dreams of something big. （22-23九年级上·重庆九龙坡·期中） Do you think you’re a lucky person? Why or why not? Ten years ago, I began my research to study luck. I wanted to know 1 some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others always experience bad luck. Many people volunteered for my research. Over the years, I interviewed them, watched their lives and asked them to take part in my experiments(实验). I did a simple experiment to see the differences in their ability to notice opportunities(机会). I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper and asked them to look through it and tell me how many photos were inside. Before the experiment, I had put a 2 in the middle of the newspaper. It said: “ 3 you see this, tell the researcher and you can get $50.” This message covered half of the page, but unlucky people seemed to 4 it and lucky people seemed to notice it. Unlucky people are just more nervous 5 lucky people. They are busy looking 6 only what they need and this stops them from noticing the unexpected. As a result, they miss out on opportunities. At the same time, lucky people seem to be more relaxed and open. 7 can see everything that is in front of them instead of just what they need. My research shows that 8 people live by several rules, and here are some of them: ★Listen to your gut instincts (直觉) —they are often right. ★Be open to new experiences and change the old way of thinking. ★Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well. ★Consider yourself lucky before an important meeting or phone call.

Here is an example: Shop assistant, “Here’s your change, Madam.” Me, “Thank you.” Shop assistant, “No problem.” But to me, “No problem” is a 1 . I want to be thanked for going to a shop. I don’t want this automatic (机械的) reply. “You are welcome” means “You are welcome to shop here; thanks for 2 us to help you.” When I hear “no problem”, what I think is: “You’re not helping me. I’ll go somewhere else next time.” There are some 3 annoying phrases, of course. But this one especially seems to just push people to one side. It seems to say, “I’ve taken care of you, so now leave me alone.” It seems that 4 the shop assistant wants to say is that you are actually not “welcome”. It’s part of a whole, lazy culture. People don’t notice each other. People can’t be bothered (打搅). People sit 5 in cafes, but they don’t talk. They just look at their mobile phones. If you ask one of these people to move their chair a little 6 you can sit down, they reply, “No problem.” I don’t feel that means “You’re welcome to 7 the table.” I feel it means “No problem that you only bothered me a bit.” Lots of people think this phrase is mainly used by younger people, just 8 another word “whatever”. But actually, “no problem” crosses generations (一代人). It’s taken hold in a way that fits no single group of people. There is “no problem” wherever you go. Next time you’re about to say those two words, stop for a minute. Make eye contact, and say with a smile: “You’re welcome.” Be a bit more polite? No problem. 【答案】 1．problem 2．allowing 3．other 4．what 5．together 6．so 7．join 8．like 【导语】本文主要介绍了“You’re welcome”被“No problem”代替的这个现象。 1．句意：但对我来说，“没问题”就是个问题。根据“I want to be thanked for going to a shop. I don’t want this automatic reply.”可知作者认为店员回答“No problem.”是个问题，problem“问题”，a后用其单数形式。故填problem。 2．句意：You are welcome意思是“欢迎你来这里购物；谢谢你允许我们来帮助你。”根据“thanks for ... us to help you”可推出是允许我们帮助你，allow“允许”，allow sb. to do sth. 允许某人做某事。thanks for后接动名词作宾语，allow的动名词形式allowing。故填allowing。 3．句意：当然，还有其他一些令人讨厌的短语。根据“But this one especially seems to just push people to one side.”可知句意出现转折，强调这句话尤其令人讨厌，由此推出是还有其他一些令人讨厌的短语，some other“其他，另一些”。故填other。 4．句意：看起来店员想说的是你其实不“受欢迎”。根据“It seems that ... the shop assistant wants to say is that you are actually not ‘welcome’.”可知say后缺少宾语，此处表示说话的内容，用what引导宾语从句。故填what。 5．句意：人们坐在咖啡馆里，但他们不说话。根据“but they don’t talk”可知此处表示一起在咖啡馆里坐着，together“一起”。故填together。 6．句意：如果你让这些人中的一个把椅子挪一下，让你坐下，他们会回答：“没问题。” 根据“you can sit down”是让人把椅子挪一下的目的，用so (that)表示“为了，以便”，引导目的状语从句。此处省略了that。故填so。 7．句意：我不觉得这意味着“欢迎你加入我们”。根据“If you ask one of these people to move their chair a little ... you can sit down”可推出让人把椅子挪一下自己要坐，是加入这张桌子，用join表示“参加，加入”，to是不定式符号，后用动词原形。故填join。 8．句意：很多人认为这个短语主要是年轻人用的，就像另一个单词“whatever”一样。just like“就像”，符合语境。故填like。 （22-23九年级上·重庆渝中·期中） What does it mean to be green? Green is more than just a 1 . It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. Buying a green product is a small step everyone can take. Deciding 2 a product is green, however, isn’t always easy. We need to consider the whole life cycle of the product even after it’s of no use. Here is what we may keep in mind. The materials of a product are usually the first thing we need to pay attention to. What is it 3 of? Are there any harmful chemicals(有害化学物质) in it? Green products are made of more natural materials which are free from harmful chemicals, so 4 can be good for our physical health. Packing is important. How is a product packed? Is it over packed? We’d better choose glass and paper packaging as these can be reused. We can 5 look for less packing or even choose unbagged products if it’s possible. Location matters. Where was a product produced? Where are we buying it? Try to choose 6 products. When it comes to food, it is a good idea to order directly from farmers, shop at markets and buy fruits in season in your own town or city. Buying from stores near our houses is also a good choice because we can go there 7 driving a car. Look into what companies(公司) tell us about their product. It’s easy to say that a product is “green” or “all natural” but the words may be too good to be true. So, much of the information about a product can’t be completely believed. After all, companies try to make us believe that their products are environmentally responsible(负有责任的). We should develop a habit of buying what we really need. Things like food and clothing are necessary for life, but many others 8 . Better than buying is choosing to leave an unnecessary product in the store. It sends the message to the producer — keeping money in our pockets, reducing waste and keeping the planet healthy. 【答案】 1．color 2．whether/if 3．made 4．they 5．also 6．local 7．without 8．aren’t 【导语】本文介绍了一些如何购买绿色产品的建议。 1．句意：绿色不仅仅是一种颜色。根据“What does it mean to be green?”可知，绿色是一种颜色，故填color。 2．句意：然而，决定一种产品是否环保并不总是那么容易。根据“a product is green, however, isn’t always easy.”可知，此处指的是是否一个产品是环保的，应用whether/if引导宾语从句，故填whether/if。 3．句意：它是由什么制成的？根据“The materials of a product...”以及“Are there any harmful chemicals(有害化学物质) in it?”可知，此处指的是“用什么制成的”，是短语be made of，故填made。 4．句意：因此对我们的身体健康有益。空处作主语，此处指代的是“Green products”，应用they代替，故填they。 5．句意：如果可能的话，我们还可以寻找更少的包装，甚至选择无包装的产品。根据“We can...look for less packing or even choose unbagged products if it’s possible.”可知，此处指的是“也”，肯定句句中用also“也”，故填also。 6．句意：尽量选择当地产品。根据“When it comes to food, it is a good idea to order directly from farmers, shop at markets and buy fruits in season in your own town or city.”可知，尽量选择当地的产品，故填local。 7．句意：因为我们可以不用开车去那里。根据“Buying from stores near our houses is also a good choice because we can go there...driving a car.”可知，从家附近的商店购买可以不用开车去很远的地方，此处应用without“没有”，故填without。 8．句意：像食物和衣服这样的东西是生活所必需的，但许多其他东西不是。根据“Things like food and clothing are necessary for life,”可知，其他的很多东西则不是生活所必须的，此处应表示否定，故填aren’t。 （22-23九年级上·重庆南岸·期中） Waving her 5-year-old daughter goodbye, Wang Yaping, together with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu, went into space aboard the Shenzhou XIII on October 16.

She 6 the team for the Shenzhou X mission. As astronauts, women have their own advantages. “Women are more patient and better deal with loneliness.” Said Wang, “Women’s hearts are 7 to get used to the weightless environment, making them more suitable for long-term missions.” Retired NASA astronaut Catherine Coleman sent a message to Wang before the Shenzhou XIII trip. “When you look out the window and 8 the stars and the Earth, billions of women will be looking out that window with you.” Wang carries the spirit of every young woman who dreams of something big. 【答案】 1．first 2．dream 3．After 4．herself 5．because 6．joined 7．easier 8．see 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了王亚平从飞行员到宇航员的艰辛历程。 1．句意：但是在成为第一个进入天宫太空站的女人之前，41岁的王亚平已经走了很长一段路。根据空前的“the”及句意可知，此处考查序数词，first”第一”符合语境。故填first。 2．句意：王的太空梦始于2003年, 当时中国将第一位宇航员杨利伟送入太空。根据对句子结构的分析，此处需填入一个名词作句子的主语。dream”梦想”，名词，符合语境。故填dream。 3．句意：在9年里安全飞行了1600小时后, 2010年王成为宇航员的有力候选人。根据空后的“having”可知，设空处需填入一个介词。结合前后文，介词after”在……之后”符合语境。故填After。 4．句意：她努力鞭策自己, 和男人进行一样的训练。考查反身代词。push oneself“鞭策自己”，符合语境。she对应的反身代词为herself。故填herself。 5．句意：坐在一个旋转的机器里, 王会失明一段时间, 因为她的大脑供血不足。空后的“her brain was short of blood.”为王会失明一段时间的原因。所以，需填入原因状语从句引导词，because“因为”符合语境。故填because。 6．句意：她加入了神舟十号任务的团队。根据前文的“That strong spirit finally led to her dream in 2013.

Why or why not? Ten years ago, I began my research to study luck. I wanted to know 1 some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others always experience bad luck. Many people volunteered for my research. Over the years, I interviewed them, watched their lives and asked them to take part in my experiments(实验). I did a simple experiment to see the differences in their ability to notice opportunities(机会). I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper and asked them to look through it and tell me how many photos were inside. Before the experiment, I had put a 2 in the middle of the newspaper. It said: “ 3 you see this, tell the researcher and you can get $50.” This message covered half of the page, but unlucky people seemed to 4 it and lucky people seemed to notice it. Unlucky people are just more nervous 5 lucky people. They are busy looking 6 only what they need and this stops them from noticing the unexpected. As a result, they miss out on opportunities. At the same time, lucky people seem to be more relaxed and open. 7 can see everything that is in front of them instead of just what they need. My research shows that 8 people live by several rules, and here are some of them: ★Listen to your gut instincts (直觉) —they are often right. ★Be open to new experiences and change the old way of thinking. ★Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well. ★Consider yourself lucky before an important meeting or phone call. 【答案】 1．why 2．message 3．If 4．miss 5．than 6．for 7．They 8．lucky 【导语】本文主要讲述作者通过研究，弄明白了为什么有的人总是很幸运，而其他人总是很不幸。 1．句意：我想知道为什么有些人总是在正确的时间出现在正确的地方，而另一些人总是运气不好。根据“I wanted to know…some people are always in the right place at the right time”可知我是想知道为什么有些人总是在正确的时间出现在正确的地方，why“为什么”，询问原因，故填why。 2．句意：在实验之前，我在报纸中间放了一条信息。根据后文“This message covered half of the page”可知此处指的是message“信息”，空前的“a”后接名词单数，故填message。 3．句意：它说“如果你看到这个，告诉研究员，你可以得到50美元。根据“…you see this, tell the researcher and you can get $50.”可知前句是后句的条件，填if“如果”，首字母大写。故填If。 4．句意：但不幸的人似乎错过了，而幸运的人似乎注意到了。根据后文“lucky people seemed to notice it”可知，空处应指不幸的人似乎错过了，可填miss“错过”，在“to”后接动词原形，故填miss。 5．句意：不幸的人比幸运的人更紧张。根据“Unlucky people are just more nervous…lucky people”可知，前后句是比较关系，可填than“比”，表示比较，故填than。 6．句意：他们只忙于寻找自己需要的东西。根据“They are busy looking…”可知此处表示寻找，短语look for“寻找”，空处应填for。故填for。 7．句意：他们可以看到面前的一切，而不仅仅是他们需要的东西。根据“…can see everything that is in front of them instead of just what they need.”可知空处缺主语，此处应填they“他们”指代幸运的人，首字母大写，故填They。 8．句意：我的研究表明，幸运的人遵循几条规则生活。根据“Consider yourself lucky before an important meeting or phone call.”可知此处指的是幸运的人，空处应填lucky“幸运的”，形容词，修饰后面的名词people，故填lucky。 ( 1 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
