Among the impressive performers were twin sisters, Wang Liuyi and Wang Qianyi. B 1 in 1997 and grew up in Shenzhen, the sisters took an interest in artistic swimming when they came to Shenzhen sports team in 2005, asking to learn artistic swimming. The twins almost didn’t make it to the team b 2 of their parents’ heights. There is an unwritten r 3 in artistic swimming. If a sportswoman is less than 1.68 meters tall, she is unlikely to become a professional. The twins’ father is less than 1.7 meters tall, w 4 their mother is a little taller than 1.6 metres, which m 5 the daughters are unlikely to be tall enough. However, the twins’ strong will and strengths i 6 Hu Lianghui, coach of Shenzhen team. She recalled that twins went for t 7 after school every day. At 20 years old, the twins grew to be 1.72 meters tall. They were among the tallest when j 8 the national artistic swimming team in 2017. With good physical quality and willingness to bear hardships (吃苦), through years of hard training, they became key players and g 9 a lot of medals. In 2010, the twins won the gold medal at the provincial games. They a 10 won a gold and a bronze medal (铜牌) at the national games in 2013 and 2017. Then, they won four gold medals at the 2022 World Championships in Hungary and a gold in the duet event (双人项目) at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, winning the right for the Paris Olympics. Ma Long, born in 1988 in Liaoning, began to practise table tennis when he was 5 years old. In 2003, Ma Long joined the national team. He w 1 very hard in the training hall, and he was always the first to arrive and the l 2 to leave. At 18, Ma Long won his first team world champion (冠军). H 3 , after joining the national team for nearly ten years, he didn’t do so well. At the lowest point, Ma Long even wanted to g 4 up. In the Suzhou 2015 World Championships, Ma Long won the singles champion (个人单打冠军), and it had been ten years s 5 he won a world championship last time. Then Ma Long started his “great period”. However, because of years of h 6 training, his left knee was getting worse. At that time, the Tokyo Olympics was less than a year away. Ma Long d 7 to have an operation. Finally, Ma Long beat Fan Zhendong and won an Olympic g 8 medal. As a sports p 9 , the most perfect ending is to be successful and retire (退役) with fame (荣誉). But Ma Long does not want to follow it. He wants people to remember him when they talk a 10 table tennis in the future. He did so a long time ago, and continues to do so. Kids are always looking forward to growing up. But growing up is sometimes h 1 for some of us. When we have trouble, being b 2 can be more useful than crying out for help. Here is a story about a man, Jack. He was b 3 into a poor family in 1982. When he was 11, his father became mentally (精神上) ill and brought back a baby girl. One year later, his mother left with his younger brother. S 4 then, Jack has taken care of his father and sister. He carried the family burden (负担) bravely. On one hand, he tried different ways to t 5 his father’s illness. On the other hand, he had to take care of his little sister. And Jack still k 6 on going to school. Soon Jack’s story spread and many people knew about it. They tried their best to help the poor boy and his family. But Jack r 7 to accept donations from others. He said he was encouraged by people’s kindness, but he thought there was someone else in n 8 . He finished his college and took good care of his father and sister by h 9 . From his story, we can learn that love is the source (来源) of happiness. We should face all kinds of d 10 bravely instead of complaining about the bad luck in daily life. 二、U3单元话题热点预测 首字母填空 In the past summer holiday, a group of students in Wuhan were asked to record their parents’ and their own emotions (情绪). Organizers started this challenge to help the students and their parents not lose temper (发火). News about the c 1 soon spread online, and many people began trying it. At the same time, however, the news led to lots of d 2 , people not only talk on anger itself, but on how we should control our emotions. Let’s take a look at what people say. Some people think feeling angry is just like feeling hungry, lonely or t 3 . What we should do is to find out the thing that makes us angry and try to deal with it instead of a 4 it. But anger specialist Isabel Clarke said on the Internet, “You can control your anger, and you should force yourself to do so.” So which side is r 5 and how should we teenagers deal with our anger? Being a teenager is hard, e 6 with all the schoolwork and responsibilities. As a result, it is much easier for us to get angry. But if we take a few small steps, learning to think of happy things and forget sad o 7 can make it easier to put out the fire inside us. According to the BBC’s advice website, putting our anger into something is an easy way. So, the next time you feel anger building up, you shouldn’t l 8 your temper, and you should try expressing your bad emotions in an a 9 way: paint something, write a poem, sing a song or just go for a walk. After all, having emotions is what makes us humans. And w 10 them, even anger, the world wouldn’t be as beautiful as it is now. But we shouldn’t let them hurt ourselves or others. 根据下面短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡相应位置上。 Do you ever feel like you are just running from one activity to another?

Some people prefer to do the self-reflection only in their mind. O 3 would rather write notes. It is decided by your own learning and thinking habits. Here are some tips on self-reflection in your study. Use natural periods in your textbooks to help reflect. School textbooks are often d 4 into units and it makes your self-reflection easier. A 5 finishing a unit, write down some notes on the new things that you have learnt in the unit. Let your mind think deeply about the notes and make some connections. This will allow you to quickly get the information back. Next, think about things that you are unsure of. For example may be you learned about a certain body part, but you’re not sure how it w 6 together with the other body parts. P 7 you learned a new way to solve a maths problem, but you’re not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help remind you to look for answers by studying further. W 8 self-reflection, you may continue to face the same problems you’ve always faced. Self-reflection is a very important skill if you want to achieve s 9 in your study. By taking the time to reflect on learning, students can make more meaningful connections and gain a d 10 understanding of what they have learnt. If you have never taken the time to reflect, start a habit of self-reflection as soon as possible. 请认真阅读下面短文, 并根据各题所给首字母的提示, 写出一个合适的英语单词完整、正确的形式, 使短文通顺。 With today’s busy lifestyles, many parents want to spend more “quality” time with their children. It’s the time that the family members have more c 1 to get to know each other. Much of the child’s basic learning takes place when the whole family are together doing u 2 things, such as getting dressed, watching movies and talking about d 3 life. Children n 4 to know they are loved. The cry of children today is,“Love me for who I am, not w 5 I do. Love me for who I am, even when I am naughty.” This does not mean that you allow the child to do e 6 . What it does mean is that even though the child behaves badly, you should s 7 love him. By living in a family, children learn to share with others, c 8 for others, and how to love others. Children learn about trust (信任) from their parents. They learn trust from being trusted. When parents trust the child to do something on his o 9 , the child learns that he can do it. To help children grow h 10 , parents should help them learn about life. 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为1—10的相应位置上。 Schools are using computers more and more today. When children s 1 primary school at the age of six or seven, there will be computers in their class and they will quickly learn how to use them. The q 2 is, should parents buy their children their own home computer as soon as they start school? If parents decide to do this, the children can practice their computer s 3 at home. This will help them learn faster at school and as a result they will do b 4 . What’s more, young children really enjoy using computers and can spend hours playing h 5 with them. Another reason for buying a computer for your child early on is that young children learn to use them more easily than older children. But there are reasons a 6 this. Although children use computers in their primary classrooms, it is not necessary for parents to buy them their own computers. Young children need to be active and play o 7 . If they spend too long in front of a computer, it can be harmful. It can damage their eyes. They also f 8 to learn how to get on with other children. What’s more, a computer does not become really important for school work until children are much older. It is t 9 that young children of six or seven learn to use computers quickly and enjoy using them but other things are more important at that age. P 10 the conclusion is that parents do not need to buy a computer for their young child, as there are more important things. However, if there is already a computer at home, the child can be allowed to use it for short periods only. 三、U2单元话题热点预测 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使其意思完整。 The children had a great experience yesterday.

It is s 1 that people born in the Year of the Sheep have a difficult life. That’s probably b 2 sheep are gentle and kind. Therefore, many Chinese people would try to a 3 getting married or giving birth during the Year of the Sheep. But is this all really true? Of course, it doesn’t make sense according to Wang Juan, a folklore expert. In ancient China, “yang” was connected to good l 4 and happiness. In the book Shuowenjiezi—the first Chinese dictionary to e 5 characters—the writer Xu Shen from Eastern Han Dynasty said that “yang” meant “xiang”. And now many Chinese characters with “yang” also mean s 6 good, for example, “xian” and “mei”. Today many f 7 people who were born in the Year of the Sheep live very good l 8 , including the US Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang and the singer Gem Tang from Hong Kong. What kind of life you will have d 9 on many things, including how hard you study now and the career you want when you grow up. In fact, animal signs are of little i 10 . The really important thing for you is to develop a good personality along with your own skills. 首字母填空 It’s necessary to discover what you are good at or not and what you like or dislike. Many students would be unhappy if they f 1 in a very difficult physics course, but in fact they have known a lot about t 2 . They realize that they should not become engineers or physical s 3 in the future. So failing can help a student to live a happier life if he or she draws something out of it. They may then decide on their aims and c 4 the kind of work that they would be fit for and they would like to do. You can’t be sure whether you like something u 5 you have tried it. If you decide that you would like to play the violin, you need to take more music classes b 6 you know if you are really interested in it. It is not e 7 to hope to be a violinist. You also have to stand(忍受) the hard practice before you become one. If you would enjoy being a great violinist, but hate the hard and b 8 work, just give it up. It’s a good plan to try as m 9 ideas as possible when you are still young. And then you will be able to find o 10 what your true interests are. 4 同步新课程，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 9 同步新课程，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新课程英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新课程英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 期中复习 Units 1-4 首字母填空进阶练16篇（押题预测） 目录 一、U4单元话题热点预测 1 二、U3单元话题热点预测 8 三、U2单元话题热点预测 16 四、U1单元话题热点预测 23 一、U4单元话题热点预测 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容及首字母提示，在空白处填入一个适当的单词。 One spring morning, Mrs. Jones was in her garden with her grandson.

The really important thing for you is to develop a good personality along with your own skills. 【答案】 1．(s)aid 2．(b)ecause 3．(a)void 4．(l)uck 5．(e)xplain 6．(s)omething 7．(f)amous 8．(l)ives 9．(d)epends 10．(i)mportance 【导语】本文讲述的是生肖与人的成功的关系。 1．句意：据说羊年出生的人生活很艰难。根据文中“some of you may have heard some superstitions (迷信) about this animal sign…people born in the Year of the Sheep have a difficult life.”可知，一些人们对生肖有些迷信，此处表达“据说”，首字母是s，用固定句型It is said that表示，故填(s)aid。 2．句意：那是因为羊温柔善良。根据“people born in the Year of the Sheep have a difficult life. That’s probably…sheep are gentle and kind.”可知人们认为出生在羊年的人生活艰难，很可能是因为羊温柔善良，句子前后是因果关系，所以空处用because引导原因状语从句，故填(b)ecause。 3．句意：所以许多中国人会尽量避免在羊年结婚或者生孩子。根据上文说人们觉得出生在羊年是不好的，可知此处是表达许多中国人会尽量“避免”在羊年结婚或者生孩子，其中avoid doing sth. 表示避免做某事”，且首字母是a，前面是不定式符号to，所以用动词原形，故填(a)void。 4．句意：在中国古代，“羊”与好运和幸福有关。根据文中“ good…and happiness”结合首字母是l可知，此处指“good luck”好运，故填(l)uck。 5．句意：在第一本解释汉字的中文字典《说文解字》中，东汉作家徐慎说“yang”就是“xiang”。根据文中“the writer Xu Shen from Eastern Han Dynasty said that ‘yang’ meant ‘xiang’”及首字母可知，此处是在解释汉字，explain“解释”，前面是不定式符号to，所以用动词原形，故填(e)xplain。 6．句意：现在许多带“羊”的中国汉字都代表着诸如“贤”和“美”这样好的东西。根据“…good, for example ‘xian’ and ‘mei’”，及上文可知，许多带“羊”的中国汉字都代表着好的东西，形容词good作后置定语，且首字母是s，所以此处用something表“某物”。故填(s)omething。 7．句意：现今，许多在羊年出生的名人过着非常好的生活，包括美国微软创始人比尔·盖茨，中国总理李克强和来自香港的歌手邓洁。根据下文“including US Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang and singer Gem Tang from Hong Kong”可知，此处说到美国微软总裁比尔盖茨，中国主席李克强，可知这都是著名的人，且首字母是f，所以用famous表示“著名的”。故填(f)amous。 8．句意：现今，许多在羊年出生的名人过着非常好的生活，包括美国微软创始人比尔·盖茨，中国总理李克强和来自香港的歌手邓洁。根据“live very good”可知，此处是短语live a good life表示“过着好生活”，因本句是一个定语从句，先行词people表示复数概念，故life也用复数形式。故填(l)ives。 9．句意：你将拥有什么样的生活取决于很多事情，包括你现在学习有多努力，你长大后想要的职业。根据文中“including how hard you study now and the career you want when you grow up”结合空后的on及首字母可知，此处是短语depend on，表示“取决、依赖于”，且句中主语是what引导的名词性从句，则谓语应用单三形式，故填(d)epends。 10．句意：事实上，生肖并不重要。根据文中“The really important thing for you is to develop a good personality along with your own skills.”结合空前的“are of little”可知，此处是be of+名词，相当于be+形容词，此处是表达“生肖并没有那么重要” ，首字母是i，故填写importance表示“重要性”。故填(i)mportance。 首字母填空 It’s necessary to discover what you are good at or not and what you like or dislike. Many students would be unhappy if they f 1 in a very difficult physics course, but in fact they have known a lot about t 2 . They realize that they should not become engineers or physical s 3 in the future. So failing can help a student to live a happier life if he or she draws something out of it. They may then decide on their aims and c 4 the kind of work that they would be fit for and they would like to do. You can’t be sure whether you like something u 5 you have tried it. If you decide that you would like to play the violin, you need to take more music classes b 6 you know if you are really interested in it. It is not e 7 to hope to be a violinist. You also have to stand(忍受) the hard practice before you become one. If you would enjoy being a great violinist, but hate the hard and b 8 work, just give it up. It’s a good plan to try as m 9 ideas as possible when you are still young. And then you will be able to find o 10 what your true interests are. 【答案】 1．(f)ail 2．(t)hemselves 3．(s)cientists 4．(c)hoose 5．(u)ntil 6．(b)efore 7．(e)nough 8．(b)oring 9．(m)any 10．(o)ut 【导语】本文讲述了年轻时要勇于尝试才能发现自己真正的兴趣。 1．句意：很多学生如果在非常困难的物理课程上不及格，他们会变得不开心。根据文中的“Many students would be unhappy”和“in a very difficult physics course”以及首字母提示可推测，涉及到学生的问题，应该是“在困难的物理课程上不及格”，因为整句是if引导的条件状语从句，主句用would，从句应用一般过去时。故填(f)ailed。 2．句意：但是事实上，他们已经了解自己很多。根据本句的主语“they”结合首字母可知，这里要填反身代词。“they”的反身代词为“themselves” ，故填(t)hemselves。 3．句意：他们意识到将来他们不能成为工程师或者物理学家。根据前文谈到的物理课程以及首字母提示可知，这里要填“scientist”意为“科学家”，且名词应用复数，故填(s)cientists。 4．句意：然后，他们可以决定自己的目标，选择适合自己并愿意从事的工作。根据“They may then decide on their aims and...the kind of work”结合首字母可知，他们会选择适合自己并愿意从事的工作，“选择”对应的英文为“choose”，and连接两个并列结构，choose应用原形，故填(c)hoose。 5．句意：只有试过之后，你才能确定自己是否喜欢它。根据“can’t ”以及首字母可知本题考查“not...until...”意为“直到……才……”，故填(u)ntil。 6．句意：如果你决定要拉小提琴，在你知道自己是否真的感兴趣之前，你需要上更多的音乐课。根据“you need to take more music classes...you know if you are really interested in it.”可知在你知道自己是否真的感兴趣之前，你需要上更多的音乐课，before“在……之前”，连接两个句子，故填(b)fore。 7．句意：只是希望成为一名小提琴手是不够的。根据后文的“You also have to stand the hard practice before you become one”可知，只是希望成为一名小提琴手是不够的。用形容词 enough作句子的表语，意为“足够的”。故填(e)nough。 8．句意：如果你喜欢成为一个伟大的小提琴手，但又不喜欢艰苦乏味的工作，那就放弃吧！根据“but hate the hard and...work, just give it up.”结合首字母可知，这里说的是“艰难而又乏味的工作”，“乏味的”对应的英文为“boring”，形容词作定语，故填(b)oring。 9．句意：在你还年轻的时候尝试尽可能多的想法是一个好计划。根据“It’s a good plan to try as...ideas as possible”可知是指尽可能多的想法，ideas是可数名词，所以应该用many“许多”修饰，故填(m)any。 10．句意：你会发现你真正的兴趣是什么。根据“It’s a good plan to try as many ideas as possible when you are still young.”可推测，尝试尽可能多的想法就会发现真正的兴趣。本题考查动词短语“find out”，故填(o)ut。 20 同步新课程，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 25 同步新课程，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
