When it came time to go to college, Whitney was quite nervous. She was going to room with someone she didn’t know and live in a town 300 miles a 2 from home. There wouldn’t be a single person she knew in t 3 . She had no i 4 how she was going to make friends in this new environment. The first week of classes, s 5 happened and it changed Whitney’s life forever. In her English Composition class, every student was asked to share a little about herself. Whitney t 6 everyone where she called home and all of the other things that students share in such situations. The final question for each student was always the same: What is your goal (目标) for this class? Now, most of the students said it was to get a good grade, pass the exam or something like that, but for some reason, Whitney said something very different. She said that her goal was to m 7 just one good friend. While most of the students sat in silence, one student came to Whitney and held out her hand and introduced herself. The girl asked i 8 she would be her friend. The whole room was silent---all eyes looked at Whitney and the hand extended (伸出) just i 9 front of her. She smiled and reached her hand out to take the girl’s and a friendship was formed. It was a friendship that lasted all through college and many years after that. It was a friendship that brought two people together. Whitney learned the power of a 10 for what she wanted, being honest and taking action. 根据短文意思和所给首字母， 写出一个完整正确的单词。 My best friend at school is Matthew Bruce, an exchange student from Australia.

In Singapore, many middle school students s 1 a lot of time on their studies. People always think that good schooling is the t 2 to success (成功). So, many of these students try their best to get good results in their exams. They have a lot of homework every day and exams are usually big p 3 to them.

Some of them also spend their free time searching the Internet, c 9 with their friends online, playing computer and video games.

We wear school u 3 , but we do not wear ties. Our classes are q 4 small. There are about 20 students in e 5 class. We can choose subjects to study. I have Maths because Maths is very i 6 . I love computers, so I have computer l 7 every day. There is a big library, a football field and a s 8 pool. We have lots of c 9 and after-school activities. Every month, we go on a school t 10 . We always have fun. Unit 3单元话题 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 I am a student in Beijing Foreign Studies University now and my score in the English subject was 146 on the national college entrance examination. But when I first started studying English seriously, I noticed that my grammar was a m 1 weak point. My writing was often full of m 2 . To fix this, I created a study plan to improve my grammar. I started by reviewing the basic (基础的) grammar rules. I realized that I had been making mistakes because I never really understood the rules e 3 . For example, I would often mix up verb tenses (动词时态). To solve this, I s 4 a few weeks just going over the basics. It was a little b 5 at first, but it made a huge difference. One of the turning points for me was when I began k 6 a grammar diary. Whenever I made a mistake, I would write it down along with the correct usage myself. I remember once I kept mixing the past perfect tense w 7 the simple past. Writing out the differences and practising w 8 sentences in my diary helped me internalize (内化) the rules. In f 9 , to get better at any subject, you need to find what you’re not good at and face it directly. Remember, every mistake is just a chance to learn s 10 new. 首字母填空，每空一词。 Learning English is not an easy job. Almost every student sometimes asks q 1 like these: Can I really learn English well? Can I really learn it well e 2 to talk with others? The answer is yes. From some studies we know that almost anyone can learn a foreign language well if he or she wants to. Some people might learn it f 3 and some might learn it slower. But anyone can learn it well if he or she has the right w 4 . Many students have their own special ways to learn English. Here are some e 5 . Han Mei gets up early every morning and the first thing she does is to l 6 to an English radio program (节目). This helps her a lot. Lin Tao often practises speaking English not only in c 7 but also after class. At first, he was very nervous. After trying several times, he found it was not as d 8 as he thought. Now he speaks English b 9 of all the students. Wang Bin likes to watch American m 10 . If it is a good film, he will watch it many times. And he also likes to read English aloud. Climbing a mountain is hard work. But one step after another finally brings a person to the t 1 . Along the way, he can stop and look a 2 . And the h 3 he climbs, the more wonderful his view is. If he keeps climbing, he will have a new world before him. He will have a new way of t 4 everything. Now learning a f 5 language is something like climbing a mountain. This new language can give you a new view of life. And it is more than a look at the surface(表面) of things. It can open the way into people’s minds and hearts, into a culture(文化) that is very d 6 from the one of your own. This will make you richer even in things that you can’t buy with m 7 . Even though you never set foot on a ship or a plane, you can be an armchair traveller by r 8 books. Like the mountain climber who sometimes stops to e 9 the scenery (风景) around him, everyone who is interested in reading will find j 10 in books if he learns more and more of that new language. Unit 4单元话题 素材话题：DIY 的流行原因及潜在风险 DIY is quite popular in the UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. If people need to decorate or f 1 something in their homes, such as p 2 the walls or putting up a new shelf, they will do the jobs t 3 . They share DIY stories with their friends. More and more people find the j 4 of DIY. So they invite their friends to join them. Nowadays, many people don’t have e 5 money to buy a big house. They are considering what they can do to make their house better w 6 spending a lot of money. It is not s 7 that DIY is so popular. However, DIY can be very dangerous if you are c 8 . It’s reported that many people were hurt when doing DIY in the UK. DIY can bring us lots of fun, but it is not always a 9 easy as it is thought to be if we do something difficult. Maybe factories should make easier and s 10 things for us to DIY. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使其意思完整。 Recently, I visited my former classmate Leo in his new home, where he lives with his wife and daughter. Nowadays, he would like to spend his h 1 and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he has found the j 2 of DIY home repairs. This means that if anything needs fixing around the house, he will try to do the job h 3 . Leo showed me his new kitchen that he put together himself , and his newly-painted walls. I asked him w 4 he got the idea to do these things. He told me that it came from a DIY program on TV. This got me to think about how p 5 DIY programs are in the UK. Each channel (频道) has at least one home or garden makeover (装饰，翻新) show. Some channels are e 6 completely talking about the subject. I don’t think it’s really s 7 that DIY programs are so welcomed by people. There are two common British sayings—“an Englishman’s home is castle” and “there’s no place like home”—which show how i 8 their houses are to them. W 9 the economic (经济) changes of the last several years, many people don’t have enough money to buy bigger houses than before. So they are looking at how they can make their houses b 10 without spending a lot of money. DIY, obviously, is the perfect choice. 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。（每空一词） It’s 5:00 a.m.! A morning call wakes up Marco. He doesn’t get up so e 1 at home in Los Angeles. Well, maybe to eat breakfast once in a while but never to herd (放牧) cows and sheep! But Marco isn’t at home. He is in Africa, on the grasslands of Kenya (肯尼亚). He is living with the herdsmen. “Life is very different in Kenya. People live a peaceful life here on the grasslands. They can’t afford TVs, cars or mobile phones. They make a living m 2 by herding cows and sheep,” Marco says. Marco’s trip to Africa isn’t a h 3 . It’s part of the school project for the biology c 4 at Sunshine School. The school hopes the students will have more life experiences. They have never been to Africa. Kenya is a country which is c 5 new to the students from Los Angeles. When the students get there, they put on local clothing. Boys herd cows. Girls collect firewood and water. Families depend on their cows. As a result, the herdsmen and the students have to m 6 from one area to another so that the cows have more grass to eat. Now in Los Angeles, Kenya is on the minds of the students at Sunshine School all year. Disasters have killed many cows in Kenya, so the students d 7 to raise money to buy cows for the local people. Each cow c 8 about $100. “One cow means more to the health of a family than money,” says Marco. “Here we are really giving life. A cow will give a kid milk every day.” The school wants to give the students a different way of t 9 . Helping the herdsmen in Kenya is just the first s 10 . Next, the students will try to discover ways to give a hand to those in Los Angeles who need help. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期中复习之短文首字母填空12篇 （Units1-4单元话题） Unit 1 Friendship单元话题：朋友与友谊 Unit 2 School life单元话题：学校生活 Unit 3 To be a good learner单元话题：学习策略 Unit 4 Hands-on fun单元话题：动手做 本资料共12篇专题训练，从上到下每单元依次对应3篇单元话题专题训练 Unit 1单元话题 根据短文内容及首字母提示，写出所缺单词。 Hello!
