（23-24九年级上·上海静安·期中）What is the difference between happy people and unhappy people?What are the things that these people so differently?Read the following list of things that HAPPY people do differently from UNHAPPY people and you will k 1 . Well, I can tell you for sure that those people who are r 2 happy, FEAR less and LOVE a lot more. They see each moment, each challenge, each person as an opportunity to discover more about themselves and the world around them. They are ready to hug whatever lies in front of them. Happy people understand that you can’t really c 3 a situation by resisting it. But they can feel better by understanding that there might be a reason for its existence. When something unpleasant happens to them, they don’t try to fight it , knowing that this will make the situation even w 4 . But rather, they ask themselves questions like: What can I learn from this? How can I make this better? They always seem to be pleasant and hopeful no matter what happens to them. They do the things they do because of the meaning it brought into their lives and because they get a sense of purpose by doing so. They understand that “Doing w 5 you love is the most important for living a full life”. They care more about living a life full of meaning rather than , what in our modern society we would call, living a successful life. The fact here is that most of the time they get both s 6 and meaning, just because they choose to focus on doing the things they love the most . The things happy people do are not for themselves, but for the good of others. They make sure that their actions bring meaning and happiness in the lives of many. They look for w 7 to give and to share the best of themselves with the world and to make other people happy. （23-24九年级上·上海普陀·期中）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） Different people may find that different learning methods work best for them. While some would turn to teachers for help in order to get better grades, others choose to study t 1 . In fact, many universities encourage their students to form study groups and make good use of them. “Two heads are better than one.” That’s the s 2 idea behind study groups. By participating in a study group, students can benefit from some of their best academic (学术的) resources: other students. They get to pick each other’s brains and i 3 their own understanding of different problems. Moreover, study groups can create the slightly tense (紧张的) atmosphere. Many people think it’s good to study in it. For example, some students tend to procrastinate (拖延) when they are studying a 4 . However, by joining a study group, they get to observe their diligent partners and are more willing to work harder. Study groups work best when they are s 5 . Four to five students is just OK. And it’s necessary to make sure everyone has the same goal, to prepare for a particular test, to discuss class readings or to review a lecture’s notes. In addition, some study groups like to give members certain r 6 so that they would study most effectively. First they need an organizer. He usually gets group members to agree to a common purpose and a convenient time and place. They also need a group member to search for sources of information. His or her d 7 is to remind group members to identify their sources. When a group member says “I read somewhere that…” he or she is usually asked for specifics (细节). This person reminds the group that it’s important to know who said what and where it was said. And a gatekeeper tries to make sure that all group members are participating. （23-24九年级上·上海静安·期中）Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words。 A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well, but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference w 1 the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly (肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people’s rule. They make their own r 2 . Every one of them does his work in a way peculia r(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he f 3 it more easy to work in that way. Now the very same thing is true to literature (文学). And the q 4 “How shall I begin?” only means that you want to begin at the head i 5 of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced (有经验的) e 6 to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail —that is to say, you will write the e 7 of the story before you have even thought of the beginning. （22-23九年级上·上海徐汇·期中）Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.

Others w 1 that it would invade (侵犯) their privacy. Spot is a dog-shaped robot built by a tech company. The robot has four legs, so even on rough ground it can move e 2 . Instead of a head, the robot has a camera. It also has a microphone and a speaker, and people can control it from a distance. In December, 2020, the NYPD announced (宣布) that it would begin using a special version of Spot. Their robot was painted blue. It has a special camera to allow it to “see” everything on all sides of it. They called their version “Digidog”. The robot cost the NYPD about $94,000. That may seem like a lot of money, but it’s cheap for a robot. When it announced Digidog, the NYPD said, “This dog is going to save lives, protect people, and protect officers, and that’s our g 3 . ” They soon found out that not everyone was excited about the robot as they were. After the robot was brought to an emergency call in February, a video of it was shared w 4 , and upset a lot of people. Many people were concerned that the police were using an electronic dog for spying (暗中监视). Others felt like it was wrong for the police to spend money on machines. They should focus on p 5 .

Thirty years ago, people had to depend on floppy disks(软磁盘). N 1 , all we have to do is hit the “Save” button on our screens. The files will then be stored in the “cloud.” It seems that we will never run out of space. Isn’t that great? In fact, however, the storage space we now have is not c 2 enough. Every day, 4. 5 billion internet users create a LARGE amount of data. By 2025, the amount of data worldwide will have r 3 175 zettabytes (1 ZB=1012 GB). Clearly, we can’t cover every piece of land on the planet with data centers. So where can we store all of this data? Fortunately, some researchers have been working on new storage technologies. One of these technologies is DNA storage. DNA storage sounds futurist, but in some ways, it’s just the opposite. B 4 computers were invented, nature had been using DNA to store information. In 2012, researchers at Harvard University wrote a book, 11 pictures and a computer program into human DNA．Each gram of DNA can hold 2.2 petabytes (PB．of information (1 ZB =1,048,576 PB．If DNA is kept in the right condition, it can keep the stored information s 5 for a million years. There are still p 6 with using DNA for data storage. For example, it takes lots of time to write into and read from DNA．Scientists are trying to i 7 this technology.

It was interesting to do the research.” “I like seeing the r 5 that people leave.” said Thomas-Gainey. “And I also like seeing if they post s 6 on their Instagram of their dogs happy about the treats.” One of the things Thomas-Gainey enjoys most is having her own business at a young age. “You can never be too young,” she said. “When you start so young, it opens a lot more possibilities, and there’s more time for you to grow.” Thomas-Gainey always feels encouraged by her mother, so she is more positive and c 7 now, even in the face of difficulties.

Perhaps you have to walk across a busy road or ride your bike in traffic. But in general, your journey is probably safe. For some children, it’s very different. Banpo Elementary School in China is on a mountain. The path to school is very n 1 and dangerous. The children have to walk in a line. When they meet somebody, they have to stand against the mountain while the person passes. For the parents, it is very worrying. L 2 , the head teacher of the school walks with the children every morning. A group of children in Sumatra, Indonesia, have to cross a wide river every morning on their way to school. The bridge across the river is b 3 , so about 20 children have to walk across a rope (绳子). The rope is ten metres above the water. After that, they have to walk ten kilometres through the jungle (丛林)! And of course, at the end of the school day, they have to do the s 4 journey again on their way home. Students in Minh Hoa in Vietnam have to cross a river on their way to and from school every day There are no bridges or b 5 , so the children have to swim. They put their books and clothes in large plastic bags so they do not get wet. The bags also help the children to stay safe in the water (the water is 20 metres deep). When they r 6 other side, they take their dry clothes out of the bag and put them on. Near Bogota, the capital of Colombia, some children have to cross a large valley to get to school. At the bottom of the valley is the Rio Negro, a huge river. There is only one way to cross the valley: on a zip wire (滑索). That’s a metal rope, 800 metres long and 400 metres above the river. The journey is very fast. In fact, it only takes about one minute! Small children can’t travel across the valley a 7 , so their brother or sister puts them in a bag! （21-22九年级上·上海黄浦·期中）Read the passage and 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)     Long ago, there lived a sculptor (雕刻家) named Pygmalion in ancient Greece.

He had dreamed that his sculpture came a 4 , so Pygmalion got out of his bed immediately, eager to share this dream with her.

She had become a real human being!     “You have given me life,” the woman spoke gently to Pygmalion. “Your love was so strong that it brought me life!”     Later, in the 1960s, two scientists found that if teachers hoped students would do b 6 , then these students would really have greater performance.

They wanted to learn the a 1 languages such as Greek and Lat in languages that were used in the old times, and study mathematics, science, and so on. Many universities were set up during the 16th century. University education was a privilege（特权）of the rich. Girls were not allowed to attend and poor people could not a 2 to go. A member of a wealthy family could attend university at the age of ten. He might study in different universities and since the teaching was all d 3 in Latin, it didn’t matter which country he studied in. It was not unusual for a young boy to study one year in Italy and another in France with out speaking either French or Italian. It was p 4 in the 16th century to complete university without learning how to read or write. Since books were handwritten, there was not enough to give o 5 to each student. Often, only the teacher had book. He would read to students who would memorize what he said. Tests were oral, not written. In fact, many students finished school without ever writing a word For the not so wealthy, grammar schools were built in towns. They learned basic grammar and mathematics, and took part in Bible study. At home, girls learned washing, cooking, dancing, and the basics of taking care of a household. Poor children r 6 attended school. The Renaissance was a time when learners did not simply accept what they were told. They did scientific experiments themselves to search for a 7 to the mysteries of the space. Copernicus calculated that the Earth turned around the sun but was afraid to publish his works for fear that the Church would punish him. Galileo later supported this.

The Etruscans(伊特拉斯坎人) knew how to make them as far back as 700 B．C． Then the Etruscans’ knowledge of false teeth was f 1 ,and for many years no one knew how to make them. At one time in England, dentists pulled out people's teeth w 2 giving anything to stop the pain. Sometimes the dentist’s assistant hit a drum loudly so that the crowd would not hear the cries of pain. Another assistant held the patient down as the dentist pulled out teeth. Then in the seventeenth century, dentists attempted to make false teeth again. The problem，however, was not making the teeth; it was keeping them in place. They had to tie each false tooth to the teeth on either side of it. Only rich people could a 3 false teeth, which were usually made of ivory, gold or silver. As the demand for new teeth increased, poor people would often sell their teeth so that they could buy food and clothing. Many c 4 were made to false teeth during the next 200 years, though some of these were not really improvements. Toward the end of the nineteenth century, for example, cheep celluloid(赛路珞，一种塑料) teeth were introduced. But they caught fire very easily, and a number of men were badly burned when their teeth caught fire while they were s 5 . Nowadays false teeth are so well made and look so r 6 -they are made of a kind of plastic- that it is often impossible to tell from a person’s appearance whether or not they have them, And in the near future, very f 7 people will have them because by adding certain things to the water we drink, we have been able to keep our teeth so healthy that most people will never need false teeth. （18-19九年级上·上海静安·期中）Read the passage and 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) Many people like animals and take them as their pets, so pet hospitals are usually very busy. K 1 persons who love animals are needed to help in busy animal hospitals. Those vets (兽医) will teach them how to take care of the animals. Scientists think that pets will p 2 be much smaller because people in the future will live in much smaller space. Scientists are now working on making very small farm animals. The same thing might be d 3 to make small cats and dogs. It's said that some day you might own a panther (豹) as a pet. Some scientists believe that they might have to start turning wild animals into pets, since this might be the o 4 way to save them from dying out. What about a robot for a pet? This may s 5 silly, buy it could become true. Robot dogs have been made to sell. They are like real dogs. These pets might become more and more p 6 in the future. Lots of people miss their pets while they are on holiday. One hotel in Minnesota has solved this problem. They lend cats to their guests.

Something may look valuable, but may not really be valuable. Also, I tell them not to judge a book by its cover. You should not judge something only by its appearance. Another proverb is that do not bite o 2 more than you can chew. This means do not try to do more than you are able to do. Sometimes I tell my children to cooperate to solve a problem.

They wanted to learn the a 1 languages such as Greek and Lat in languages that were used in the old times, and study mathematics, science, and so on. Many universities were set up during the 16th century. University education was a privilege（特权）of the rich. Girls were not allowed to attend and poor people could not a 2 to go. A member of a wealthy family could attend university at the age of ten. He might study in different universities and since the teaching was all d 3 in Latin, it didn’t matter which country he studied in. It was not unusual for a young boy to study one year in Italy and another in France with out speaking either French or Italian. It was p 4 in the 16th century to complete university without learning how to read or write. Since books were handwritten, there was not enough to give o 5 to each student. Often, only the teacher had book. He would read to students who would memorize what he said. Tests were oral, not written. In fact, many students finished school without ever writing a word For the not so wealthy, grammar schools were built in towns. They learned basic grammar and mathematics, and took part in Bible study. At home, girls learned washing, cooking, dancing, and the basics of taking care of a household. Poor children r 6 attended school. The Renaissance was a time when learners did not simply accept what they were told. They did scientific experiments themselves to search for a 7 to the mysteries of the space. Copernicus calculated that the Earth turned around the sun but was afraid to publish his works for fear that the Church would punish him. Galileo later supported this. The watch, the telescope and some others were some inventions of this period. 【答案】1．ancient 2．afford 3．done 4．possible 5．one 6．rarely 7．answers 【分析】这篇短文讲述的是文艺复兴时期的教育发展。那个时候，人们对高等教育变得感兴趣，但大学教育只是富人才拥有的特权。当时的学者经常自己做实验来寻找宇宙的秘密。 1．句意：他们想学习古代使用的语言，如希腊语和拉丁语，并学习数学、科学等。 根据句中 “…such as Greek and Latin languages that were used in the old times”可知，他们想学习的是古时候使用的语言，即ancient“古代的”，故答案为ancient。 2．句意：女孩不允许上学，穷人也负担不起。 根据句意可知，这句话的主语是poor people，根据常识可知，穷人上不起学，故这里考查的是afford，意为“支付得起”，空前could是情态动词，后面跟动词原形。故答案为afford。 3．句意：他可能会在不同的大学学习，因为教学都是用拉丁语进行的，所以他在哪个国家学习并不重要。 空前主语为the teaching，谓语动词为被动语态，该空应填过去分词。结合句意可知，这里指“教学用拉丁语进行”，考查动词do，过去分词为done。故答案为done。 4．句意：在16世纪，不学习读写就可以完成大学学业。 空前was是系动词，该空填形容词。根据下文 “In fact, many students finished school without ever writing a word”可知，“很多学生没有写一个字就毕业了”，因此在16世纪时，不会读或写就可以完成大学是可能的。这里考查possible，意为“可能的”。故答案为possible。 5．句意：因为书是手写的，所以不够发给每个学生一本。 该空为give的宾语，应用名词或代词。根据句意和空后to each student“给每个学生”可知，这里填代词one，指代a book。故答案为one。 6．句意：贫穷的孩子很少上学。 根据上文文意以及第2小题的注释可知，贫穷的孩子上不起学，因此这里应填表示否定意思的副词，rarely“很少地，稀少地”，修饰谓语动词。故答案为rarely。 7．句意：他们自己做科学实验，以寻找宇宙奥秘的答案。 根据句意 “They did scientific experiments themselves …to the mysteries of the space.”可知，他们做实验是为了寻找宇宙秘密的答案。这里考查answer，是一个名词，意为“答案”。空后mysteries是复数的，因此“答案”也是复数的，故答案为answers。 【点睛】这篇短文给我们介绍了文艺复兴时期的教育状况。短文主题明确，叙述清晰，比较容易理解。题型是短文填空，要求根据文意和给出的单词的首字母，填写适当的单词，并注意使用单词的适当形式。做题时，应注意根据句意或从上下文中寻找线索。例如第1小题，根据句中 “…such as Greek and Latin languages that were used in the old times”可知，他们想学习的是古时候使用的语言，即ancient“古代的”，故答案为ancient。再如第7小题，根据句意 “They did scientific experiments themselves …to the mysteries of the space.”可知，他们做实验是为了寻找宇宙秘密的答案。这里考查answer，是一个名词，意为“答案”。空后mysteries是复数的，因此“答案”也是复数的，故答案为answers。 （18-19九年级上·上海宝山·期中） Read the passage and fill in the blank with proper words(在短文的空格内填入适当的词使内容通顺,每空格限填一词,首字母已给) People have been wearing false teeth of one kind or another for more than 2,500 years. The Etruscans(伊特拉斯坎人) knew how to make them as far back as 700 B．C． Then the Etruscans’ knowledge of false teeth was f 1 ,and for many years no one knew how to make them. At one time in England, dentists pulled out people's teeth w 2 giving anything to stop the pain. Sometimes the dentist’s assistant hit a drum loudly so that the crowd would not hear the cries of pain. Another assistant held the patient down as the dentist pulled out teeth. Then in the seventeenth century, dentists attempted to make false teeth again. The problem，however, was not making the teeth; it was keeping them in place. They had to tie each false tooth to the teeth on either side of it. Only rich people could a 3 false teeth, which were usually made of ivory, gold or silver. As the demand for new teeth increased, poor people would often sell their teeth so that they could buy food and clothing. Many c 4 were made to false teeth during the next 200 years, though some of these were not really improvements. Toward the end of the nineteenth century, for example, cheep celluloid(赛路珞，一种塑料) teeth were introduced. But they caught fire very easily, and a number of men were badly burned when their teeth caught fire while they were s 5 . Nowadays false teeth are so well made and look so r 6 -they are made of a kind of plastic- that it is often impossible to tell from a person’s appearance whether or not they have them, And in the near future, very f 7 people will have them because by adding certain things to the water we drink, we have been able to keep our teeth so healthy that most people will never need false teeth. 【答案】1．forgotten 2．without 3．afford 4．changes 5．smoking 6．real 7．few 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人类佩戴假牙、假牙发展的历史。 1．句意：然后伊特拉斯坎人关于假牙的知识被忘记了，因为没有人知道如何制作它们。 句子主语是knowledge of false teeth，空格处为被动语态，后面一句没有人知道如何制作它们，判断前后的逻辑关系从因到果，所以应该是被忘记了，故填forgotten。 2．句意：牙医拔出人们的牙齿，不给任何东西来止痛。 空格后是giving动名词，判断空格的词性是介词，根据上下文的意思可知没有止疼药，牙医会让助手在拔牙时击鼓盖住疼痛声。故填without。 3．句意：只有富人能够负担得起假牙。 空格前是could，空格处填动词原形，根据空格前Only rich people 和made of ivory, gold可知，应该是表达只有有钱人付得起。故填afford。 4．句意：假牙在接下来两百年内做了很多变化。 空格前是many，所以填名词复数。根据下文 some of these were not really improvements，它们中的一些不是改进，可知它们是指改变changes，故填changes。 5．句意：许多男性在抽烟时，假牙着火，他们被严重烧伤。 空格前是while they were，所以空格处填动词ing形式，根据前文a number of men were badly burned their teeth可知是因为男士在抽烟时烧伤，故填smoking。 6．句意：如今假牙做得很好，看起来很真。 空格前是look，所以填形容词，根据下文it is often impossible to tell from a person’s appearance whether or not they have them”很难从一个人的外表分辨是否装了假牙，可知，这种假牙看起来很真。故填real。 7．句意：在未来，几乎没有人会用它们。 空格前very，所以空格处填形容词原级，根据下文because by adding certain….most people will never need false teeth，可知在未来几乎没人需要假牙，因为只需通过在水里加特殊东西就能保持牙齿的健康。People为复数概念，故填few。 （18-19九年级上·上海静安·期中）Read the passage and 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) Many people like animals and take them as their pets, so pet hospitals are usually very busy.
