But hundreds of years a 56 , people had a different problem—a 400-year cold period! From the 1400s to the 1800s, winters in the northern half of the earth were c 57 and longer than they are now. Scientists c 58 this time the “Little Ice Age” (小冰期). The colder weather b 59 many serious problems. Plants died of cold and illness spread among people. People had to spend a lot more time collecting wood for fires to keep their house warm. And sometimes, a h 60 piece of ice would slide down (滑落) a mountain and destroy (摧毁) some villages. Scientists think the Little Ice Age was caused by forces (力量) that people could not control. One cause (起因), in their opinion, was the sun. The sun often has “storms” of energy called sunspots (太阳黑子). During the Little Ice Age, there were fewer sunspots than there are t 61 . With fewer sunspots, the sun was giving out less e 62 which made the earth warm. Volcanic eruption (火山爆发) was probably a 63 natural cause. During the Little Ice Age, many volcanoes erupted. Their dust (灰尘) might stop the sun’s l 64 and heat from reaching the earth. Today we are seeing the influences of rising temperature. Scientists think people are causing this change by b 65 a lot of coal and oil. So we need to change our way of living. （24·天津中考真题） Long ago, the early people did not live in houses as we do today. Most of the homes were in caves or shelters (遮蔽物) which were built in trees. These ‘homes’ were only used as temporary (临时的) shelters to p 56 them from the sun, the rain and the wild animals in the forests. Men of that time were called ‘cave people’. These ‘cave people’ usually lived in small groups and life was not e 57 for them. They had to move from place to place to s 58 for food. They would hunt, fish or pick wild fruit. When they couldn’t find a 59 to eat, they would leave to find another proper place. Their tools were very simple. They ate raw (生的) food u 60 they learnt how to make a fire. For clothing, they used only the bark (树皮) of trees or the skins (皮) of animals to c 61 their bodies. However, the lives of the ‘cave people’ changed. They collected the seeds (种子) of wild plants that g 62 in the forests. Soon they learnt to plant fruit, vegetables and other crops. They also kept cows, sheep and other kinds of farm a 63 for milk, meat and skins. They became f 64 and lived in only one certain area. Their groups became l 65 than before as they lived more settled (固定的) lives. They built houses as long-lasting homes, and as a result, villages and towns developed quickly. The ‘cave people’ began to be civilized (文明的). （23·天津中考真题） A smile shows that a person is happy. For example, a person may smile when he or she is p____56____ with some progress in studies.

They had a big job: They built China’s f 56 research station there called the Qinling Station. The scientists built it in only two months. They made many parts of it in China; and then t 57 them all the way to Antarctica. Once they got there, they put the parts together just like building with Lego bricks (乐高积木). The Qinling Station can withstand (抵抗) t 58 as low as -60℃. It uses wind and solar energy because they are g 59 energy. How big is the station? Its main building covers an area of 5,120 km², making it the largest single structure among China’s existing research stations. It can h 60 80 scientists in summer and 30 in winter. Scientists live in the side parts during summer. The labs are also there. The middle part is for working and eating m 61 . Scientists sleep in the bedrooms on the upper floor during winter. How is it special? It was the first time China built a station near the Ross Sea. The sea is full of rare a 62 , such as killer whales (虎鲸), Adelie penguins (阿德利企鹅) and emperor penguins. There are also many volcanoes and big glaciers along the coast of the sea. What are China’s five stations? B 63 the Qinling Station, China established four research bases in Antarctica over the past nearly 40 years—the Great Wall Station, the Zhongshan Station, the Kunlun Station and the Taishan Station. The Great Wall Station was the first to be built in February 1985. The Qinling Station is near some mountains. These mountains d 64 Antarctica into two parts, just like the Qinling Mountains form a natural geographical boundary (界线) between northern and southern China. Kunlun and Taishan are only open in summer. Qinling, Changcheng and Zhongshan are open all y 65 round. （25·天津河东区一模） As winter comes, hands can easily get cold. Thick gloves might be a good choice, but sometimes wearing them is inconvenient. However, this was not a problem for Chinese people in the past, who had a fine t 56 to warm their hands: hand warmers. There is a f 57 story about the well-known invention. Emperor Yang from the Sui Dynasty visited Jiangsu in winter. Because of the cold, a local official asked craftsmen (工匠人) to make a small warmer for the emperor that could be held in his hands. So, the hand warmer was c 58 . By the Song Dynasty, the warmers had become popular a 59 the common people. Skills for producing the tool were w 60 used in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Many poets from this period kept a record of people using hand warmers. In the early days, copper (铜) was generally used in the production process. It was more suitable than silver, iron and china b 61 it could transfer (传导) heat better, while reducing the risk of breakage or corrosion (腐蚀). Inside a hand warmer, there were coals, some of which were mixed with flowers, so it could g 62 off a nice smell when burned. The designs of ancient hand warmers are d 63 . Round, square and octagonal (八角形的) o 64 were typical (典型的), and there were also some fashioned shapes which looked like flowers and shells. The patterns on the warmers would usually be animals or symbols w 65 good meanings, such as deer, flowers or the Chinese characters for long life. （25·天津河西区一模） The oil-paper umbrella has a history of over 1,000 years in China. There are different s 56 about the invention of the umbrella in China. The most popular one has something to do with Lu Ban. It’s said that once he and his wife visited the West Lake, it started raining suddenly. His wife said, “Let’s have a c 57 . Before sunrise tomorrow, the one who comes up with a good way to visit the West Lake even on rainy days will be the winner.” Lu Ban thought it was easy. He c 58 some tools and materials. Then he spent the whole night b 59 pavilions (亭子) around the lake. He was quite p 60 of his work. The next morning, when Lu Ban talked about his achievements (成就) and took pride in himself, his wife held something unusual in her hand. It could be opened into a round shape. Lu Ban was s 61 . He found that the object (物体), made of silk and bamboo, could be opened and closed easily. It was light, beautiful and easy to carry. Lu Ban said. “You win. Your invention can p 62 us from rain better.” So the umbrella was i 63 . Later, people began to use paper, which was c 64 than silk. To make the umbrella water-proof (防水), people brushed a kind of oil on the surface. So the oil-paper umbrella a 65 . （25·天津河北区一模） At about four pm on every school day, a group of elderly volunteers in red vests (马甲) are seen waiting at the gate of a primary school in a community in Ningbo. They are known as “shared grandmas”. Yuan Peijun, 63, is the “grandma” who s 56 the heart-warming program in the community. In early 2019, Yuan started to help pick up a neighboring girl who was in the same kindergarten (幼儿园) as her grandson. The girl's parents were still busy with work when she finished school, so picking her up on time was d 57 for the young couple. When learning of the s 58 , Yuan offered a “small favor”. The favor still goes on today as b 59 kids now study in the same primary school. Yuan's action has i 60 more elderly women. In September 2019, a formal program was started in the community. Now, the volunteer team has 58 “grandmas”, mostly in their 60s and 70s. They help working parents pick up their children and help them with their homework u 61 their parents take over. In the community, about 1,200 families are dual-income families (双薪家庭), and most of them have young children. Kindergartens and primary schools finish hours e 62 than most working parents get off work. Thanks to these elderly volunteers, the problem of picking up children has been s 63 properly. Experts say the program not only meets the n 64 of young families, but also makes full use of the elderly as a group. Many elderly people are not r 65 to live the retired (退休的) life and they want to show their value as well. The program is also a good example of the old Chinese saying— Close neighbors are better than distant relatives. （25·天津滨海新区一模） If you lie awake at night, thinking over a decision you made earlier that day or worrying about tomorrow’s to-do list, you might be overthinking. Overthinking means going over the s 56 thought again and again, thinking about the simplest things too much. But why do people overthink? According to The Conversation, our thinking comes from one of our primitive instincts (原始本能). The primitive mind will always see things in the worst way. Our brains (大脑) are always looking for possible dangers, to make a plan to a 57 those dangers and keep us safe. Those possible dangers in mind may come from past experiences o 58 something we imagine could happen in the future. Some people believe that overthinking may be h 59 because it helps us look at a problem in many ways and get ready for what might happen. H 60 , research suggests that overthinking can make us feel worried or sad. What’s more, overthinking can hurt relationships. Thinking the worst and making wrong guesses can lead to t 61 with other people. Worrying about every little thing other people do and say can also mean that you misunderstand their m 62 . So, don’t sit and think about a problem endlessly. Instead, make yourself do something else. Your brain might find better ways to solve the problem while you’re doing something fun, l 63 gardening. Also, when you find yourself overthinking, face these thoughts. Ask yourself if they make sense and think about other possibilities. It can be d 64 at first, but learning to identify (识别) your overthinking can help you c 65 bad thoughts into better ones. Thinking is a two-way street. While the brain may produce many thoughts, in the end, it’s up to us to decide if we accept them. （25·天津红桥一模） My family has always had family dinners, as far as I can remember. S 56 I was a little boy, my mother has insisted (坚持) that we attend family dinners at least once a week. Every Sunday, my mother would p 57 a lot of food and bring it to my grandma’s house. We would wait for more family members to come before e 58 together at the table, my grandma’s dinner table. I u 59 to feel that was a silly little tradition. But now I find it’s fantastic to get together as a family to talk about anything and everything after a l 60 week of school and work. Every time I sit at the dinner table, my grandma’s dinner table, I look around and find so many people who truly love me. It’s a love that feels so g 61 . For me, dinner is not just a meal, but a c 62 to reconnect with each other. I f 63 realise the true meaning of this tradition. It’s not about the dinners or activities. It’s about family, a group of people who care about each other. All the m 64 around my grandma’s dinner table will last forever. Now, I’m always e 65 Sunday to arrive. （25·天津和平区二模） Every year on May 18th, people around the world come together to celebrate World Museum Day. Museums are more than just buildings f 56 with old objects (物品)—they are gateways to the past, helping us understand different civilizations (文明) and inspiring curiosity about the world. Museums protect and display valuable treasures, from a 57 fossils and Egyptian mummies to famous paintings like the Mona Lisa and modern inventions. W 58 museums, many of these objects might have been lost or forgotten. They also help us learn in fun and interactive ways. For example, science museums a 59 visitors to do experiments. Many museums now even offer virtual (虚拟) tours, making it p 60 for people everywhere to explore their collections online. Another great thing about museums is that they bring people together. Schools often organize t 61 to museums, giving students a chance to see history and art up close. On World Museum Day, many museums host s 62 events, workshops, or even free entry to encourage more visitors. Some also invite experts to give talks, helping people appreciate the stories behind the exhibits. You don’t have to visit a big, famous museum to celebrate this day. Even small local museums have fascinating stories to share. If you can’t visit one in person, you can explore online exhibitions about famous museums like the Louvre, the British Museum, or the Smithsonian. Another fun idea is to c 63 your own mini-museum at home, displaying your collections like coins, shells, or stamps. World Museum Day reminds us that museums are not just about the past—they also help us imagine the f 64 . By exploring them, we get a deeper appreciation for different cultures and the great achievements of humanity. So this May 18th, take some time to visit a museum, w 65 in person or online, and discover something new! （25·天津河东区二模） Do you know the dragon and Kun? I think most of you must know the dragon, because it is the symbol of China. B 56 probably very few people know about Kun. It is a fish from old Chinese stories. The fish is huge and it l 57 in the northern sea. Kunlong AG600, the Chinese-made large amphibious aircraft (水陆两栖飞机), was named after these two animals. The meaning of the name is to fly into the high sky like a dragon and go d 58 to the deep sea like a Kun. On February 25, 2023, a special airplane called the fourth AG600M that can fight fires had its first test flight (飞行) in Zhuhai. This airplane is part of a big family of airplanes that can land on water and on land. D 59 the 17-minute flight, the aircraft carried out a number of planned flight test subjects. It succeeded and performed very excellently. The s 60 flight of the aircraft showed the start of test flights of all four AG600M aircraft prototypes (原型). A member of the AG600 aircraft family, the AG600M, has been developed as important aeronautical equipment (航空设备) to make China’s ability to s 61 people in dangerous situations stronger. It can be used in putting out forest fires, sea search and other t 62 . The AG600 aircraft family made great p 63 in 2022, especially in both aircraft development and market exploration (开拓). The year 2023 is the key for the development of aircraft. A number of flight tests and ground tests are p 64 this year to make sure that the AG600M is able to put out fires. It will be h 65 for emergency rescue (紧急救援) and prevention (预防) systems. Let’s wait and see. （25·天津南开区二模） A set of photos of a boy carrying his tennis rackets (球拍) in a bamboo basket has gone viral (走红). The boy, Wang Fa, 14, is a m 56 of the Va ethnic group (佤族) from Yunnan. After winning the under-14 title (冠军) at the ASICS Tennis Junior Tour in Guangzhou, one of his fans from Yunnan gave him the bamboo basket as a g 57 and the photos were taken. “We always carry bamboo baskets when we work in the f 58 . This is a typical farming t 59 of the Va ethnic group. I carried my rackets in this basket to honor (致敬) my home town,” Wang Fa said after the match. Before tennis, Wang Fa was just an ordinary boy from a village. But in 2016, he was c 60 by a local club as one of the first 10 local children to learn to play professional (专业的) tennis. “I was n 61 at the beginning because the outside world was so different from my home.” he said, adding that tennis has helped him make more friends and get a b 62 education. Over the past six years, Wang Fa, along with other players at the Yunnan Wild Elephants Tennis Club, has trained hard to i 63 his skills and physical strength. The children would get up at 6:30 am and practice for more than six hours a day. Every day, they needed to swing a racket more than 7,000 times and run 9 kilometers. Wang Fa’s parents did not want him to learn tennis at first because they could not afford it. But the tennis club o 64 to teach him for free. For Wang Fa, winning the ASICS Tennis Junior Tour title was the beginning of a hopeful f 65 . “I will aim (瞄准) for the top spots on the professional stage,” he said. （25·天津红桥二模） If you are reading this now, it is because these words are printed on this page. Could this h 56 2,000 years ago? Well, you could have read some words, b 57 the words wouldn’t be printed by a machine on paper. Modern printing began in China somewhere b 58 200 BC and 200 AD. A block (块) of wood was carved (刻) so that the words or pictures stood out. Ink (墨) was put on the wood and then cloth was put on t 59 of the wood. Later, during the Han Dynasty in 105 AD, papermaking was i 60 in China and printing was done mostly on paper after that. Much later, a n 61 method called “movable type” was invented. It used small blocks made of metal with characters or letters. The blocks could be moved around e 62 to make a whole page of printed text and it was much faster than carving a block of wood. Methods to do this were invented in China in 1040. Later this m 63 started to be used in Europe around 1439. Printing became much easier and faster and printing presses (印刷机) became p 64 everywhere. Now, we send emails, texts and photos to each other. We can download books and click on links (链接) and read on our phones, tablets and laptops (笔记本电脑). Ideas and knowledge are s 65 faster than at any other time in history and the screen is replacing the page for many people. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题09 短文首字母填空 年份 考题内容（2021-2025） 命题趋势 2025年 说明文。本文主要讲述了地球在历史上经历的“小冰期”现象及其可能的原因，并与当前全球变暖现象进行对比。 文章体裁多样，但主要以说明文为主。 重点考查对上下文的理解和词汇的运用能力。 所填单词多为实词，如名词、动词、形容词、副词等。 要求考生具备一定的语法知识，能够正确判断句子的结构和成分。 空格设置均匀分布在文章中，不会过于集中。 文章内容通常与学生的日常生活、社会文化、科普知识等相关。 对学生的逻辑推理能力有一定要求，需要根据上下文的逻辑关系推断出合适的单词 考查的词汇既包括常见词汇，也可能涉及一些稍具难度的词汇或短语。 越来越注重语境的理解，单纯考查语法的情况减少。 2024年 说明文。本文主要介绍“穴居人”的生活。 2023年 说明文。本文主要介绍了对别人微笑的好处 2022年 说明文。本文主要介绍了一些贫穷国家的一些特殊的运送图书的方式。 2021年 说明文。文章讲了电动汽车的发展史。 （25·天津中考真题） Today the earth is getting warmer and warmer.

Now, the volunteer team has 58 “grandmas”, mostly in their 60s and 70s. They help working parents pick up their children and help them with their homework u 61 their parents take over.

Overthinking means going over the s 56 thought again and again, thinking about the simplest things too much. But why do people overthink? According to The Conversation, our thinking comes from one of our primitive instincts (原始本能). The primitive mind will always see things in the worst way. Our brains (大脑) are always looking for possible dangers, to make a plan to a 57 those dangers and keep us safe. Those possible dangers in mind may come from past experiences o 58 something we imagine could happen in the future. Some people believe that overthinking may be h 59 because it helps us look at a problem in many ways and get ready for what might happen. H 60 , research suggests that overthinking can make us feel worried or sad. What’s more, overthinking can hurt relationships. Thinking the worst and making wrong guesses can lead to t 61 with other people. Worrying about every little thing other people do and say can also mean that you misunderstand their m 62 . So, don’t sit and think about a problem endlessly. Instead, make yourself do something else. Your brain might find better ways to solve the problem while you’re doing something fun, l 63 gardening. Also, when you find yourself overthinking, face these thoughts. Ask yourself if they make sense and think about other possibilities. It can be d 64 at first, but learning to identify (识别) your overthinking can help you c 65 bad thoughts into better ones. Thinking is a two-way street. While the brain may produce many thoughts, in the end, it’s up to us to decide if we accept them. 【答案】56. (s)ame 57. (a)void 58. (o)r 59. (h)elpful 60. (H)owever 61. (t)rouble 62. (m)eaning 63.
