专题04 首字母填空进阶练15篇 一、人与自我 1 二、人与社会 9 三、人与自然 17 一、人与自我 Passage 1 If you are excited by solving puzzles, unlocking secrets and working as a team against the clock, then an escape room (密室逃脱) experience is perfect for you. There are lots of escape room businesses around Shanghai. As a family or a group of friends, you enter a room through one door. You must s 1 for keys, find tools or clues (线索), and try to move forward so you can escape through the exit door. You might go through several different rooms and maybe even secret tunnels that you find. Escape rooms often have a time l 2 of 60 minutes to solve all the problems. If you can’t finish it in the time given, you will f 3 in your task—but you will still have had an amazing time trying. Staff will offer clues if you get stuck. They watch the rooms on cameras and know how you are getting on. One of the best things is that all escape rooms have special theme (主题). Choose something you will find exciting, s 4 as magic adventures, space journeys, aliens, sport. You can also pick whatever else is available at the escape room business. Perhaps you will wear special clothes to m 5 the theme you choose. Wearing glasses and a white lab coat while trying to solve science-based puzzles, for example, adds even more fun. You may also see staff members in the rooms acting as characters to offer some advice or t 6 . If you can’t go along to an escape room in r 7 life, look for an online escape room experience. From the comfort of your home, you can begin a virtual (虚拟的) journey through the games, try to answer the questions and deal with the tests that will get you to the end. Passage 2 The Paradox of Effort: Why Resting Is Harder Than It Seems Do you ever dream of doing nothing at all, lying on a grassland for a whole afternoon, just staring at the sky and listening to the silence? It may sound like a l 1 idea, but in fact we can find doing nothing at all—and no sleep—very hard to do. In a famous study a few years ago at the University of Virginia, participants were led one at a time into a c 2 empty room with no distractions (分心之物). They had no phones, no books, no screens—and they weren’t allowed to take a nap. Electrodes (电极) were fitted to their ankles, and they were left alone for 15 minutes. It was a chance to kick back and relax for a short while. So, how did it go? Well, before being left alone, participants were shown how to press a computer key connected to a machine that gave an electric shock. You might think that having tried it once, no one would want to do it again. W 3 . In fact, 71% of the men and 25% of the women gave themselves at least one electric shock during their time alone and one man shocked himself a shocking 190 times. It turns out that having nothing to do was so torturing (折磨人的) that many of the participants p 4 to, in fact, torture themselves rather than put up with no distraction. This experiment is an e 5 example, but we know from everyday life that people continuously choose to do things they don’t need to do and which are sometimes painful. Think of your friends who run 40 kilometers a time or set punishing rules at the gym. They go way beyond what is required for their health and fitness. Michael Inzlicht from the University of Toronto calls this the paradox (悖论) of effort. Sometimes we take the easy way and do as little as possible, but other times we actually enjoy the situations more when we have to work hard. The j 6 of putting in effort can be so great that we choose not to take the easy way out. For example, we might spend hours solving a difficult math problem on our own instead of just looking up the answer on a learning app. During this difficult time, we can find that we are not born l 7 . Indeed in a strange way we might find that doing less, and resting more, actually requires a lot more effort than one would think. Passage 3 Memory is a key skill for students, especially when it comes to studying for tests or learning new things. Here are some e 1 memory techniques that can help you remember information more easily. 1. Mnemonics Mnemonics are tools that help you remember information using patterns or phrases. For example, to remember the colors of the rainbow, you can use “ROYGBIV” to s 2 for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. Having your own mnemonics can be a fun way to learn. 2. Visualization Visualizing information can increase memory. When you learn something new, try to c 3 a mental image of it. For example, if you are studying biology and learning about the parts of a cell, imagine each part as a different object. This technique helps your brain make a stronger c 4 to the information. 3. Chunking Chunking is a technique where you break information into s 5 parts. For instance, if you need to memorize a long number like 987654321, you can break it into chunks: 987-654-321. This method helps your brain recall the information more easily. 4. Repetition Repetition is one of the best ways to strengthen your memory. Review your notes r 6 and say the information out loud. Repeating what you’ve learned helps your brain remember it better. 5. Teaching Others Teaching someone else what you’ve learned is a great way to build up your memory. When you explain a topic to a friend or family member, you review the information and identify what you still need to learn. By using these memory techniques, you can improve your a 7 to learn and remember important information. Try adding these methods to your study routine, and you might find studying becomes much easier and more enjoyable! Passage 4 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） Over time, most cities get larger. What happens? What is the r 1 ? Families who live in a city have children who grow up and need their o 2 places to live. People move to the city from other places. The city needs more houses and apartment buildings for people to live in. People build new houses and apartment buildings on green land around the city. The city gets larger and takes up more land. This is c 3 urban sprawl (城市扩张). Farmland around the city is sold so people can build on it. There is less farmland in the area for growing food. When there are fewer farms in an area, more food needs to come from places farther away. Transporting more food on trucks, trains, and planes puts more pollution into the air. Trees and plants that grew on the green land are destroyed when new buildings go up. Animals that need trees and plants for food or s 4 must try to find a new place to live. Some animals will not find a new place to live and will die. Animals can become endangered or extinct. How to deal with urban sprawl? Here are some things cities are doing to s 5 or slow down the problem. Building houses with smaller backyards: This means more houses can fit on a large piece of land. Then less green land is destroyed for new homes. Building taller buildings in a city: Taller buildings provide more s 6 for people to live and work inside the city. Many homes can fit on a small patch of land. Then there is less need to put up new buildings or green land. Creating greenbelts. A greenbelt is a green area around a city where people are not allowed to build. O 3 farms, parks and wild countryside are allowed in a greenbelt, so urban sprawl will not take over the land. Passage 5 Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给)    Do memes improve our language? What we need to know … ●A meme is a humorous picture, video, piece of text, or GIF that is spread across the Internet, especially on social media. ●A recent report showed that people from different age groups understand the meaning of the smiling dog meme in different ways. Yes-they bring language to lifeWhen you write a message to others, it can be hard to show your feeling because they can’t see you or hear the tone (语气) of your voice. Memes can be a s 1 to the problem. They help in the same way that people use body language. The pictures are easily understood by a 2 , making them a common language. Memes are very efficient (高效的). One picture can express an idea or emotion that might take someone else a f 3 sentence to explain. They also make language more exciting. A meme can e 4 our language by adding fun to the expressions and giving the words extra effect. No-words are all we needThere are more than 170,000 words in use in the English language. If people can’t find the proper words to express their emotions when writing, they should look at a dictionary and pick carefully. Through the right c 5 of words, we already have everything we need to communicate effectively. People can use the same memes to mean different things. This may c 6 the readers if they understand the memes in a different way. Although sometimes one meme might work on its own, lots of them used together don’t express the meaning as c 7 as a well written sentence. The meaning can be difficult to figure out. 二、人与社会 Passage 1 What’s the future of social media? Read the opinions of three experts. Jacob Stone, Media Director The end of screen All types of technology will use v 1 to control. That is to say, you talk to your device and it will follow your instructions. Therefore, screens won’t be important. Wanting the 1 2 smartphones with bigger and better screens will be a thing of the past. Instead, we will see holograms (全息影像)-pictures in the real world. They will look amazingly real. Nowadays we chat with friends and look at their face on our phone or computer. In 20 years, we’ll be able to see them sitting next to us, looking very much like a real person. Alyssa Tyrone, Creative Manager Connected to everything and everyone I think we will definitely have an electronic device inside our body which will connect us to everything around us. We will be connected to the m 3 in our homes and places of work, like our cookers and calculators. Well be connected to the Internet, too. In this way. we can find information just by thinking about it. And, of course, we will be connected to each other. It will be possible to share our thoughts and feelings with each other d 4 , even when we’re in different parts of the world. Dev Khan, Digital Product Developer New ways to communicate with friends At the moment, I keep in touch with my friends on social media by liking posts, w 5 reviews and uploading (上传) photos. In 20 years, I think I will disconnect from all these. I’ll put on a pair of s 6 glasses, which will enable me to meet my friends in virtual (虚拟的) worlds. It will be possible to choose the place, from a beach in Spain to a cafe in London. I’ll bring together people from my real life and my online fiends to have social time together. Even though we’ll all be in different places, we’ll chat and share jokes, and the e 7 will be completely real. Passage 2 If you can’t go to school, the school comes to you! In India, some children work to help their parents. These children often work at railway stations. They sell things to the people who travel on the trains. It is difficult for them to go to school as they work during the day. But, thanks to train platform schools, these children can now get an e 1 . At train platform schools, the children don’t go to a school to study. A teacher comes to the train station where they work. The children arrive at the train station very early in the morning and work for a couple of hours. Then, at eight o’clock, they start school. They sit with their classmates and the teacher on the platform and learn different subjects. Train platform schools are like t 2 schools in many ways. For example, the students at train platform schools study Maths, Art and English. However, they a 3 study practical subjects. For example, they have lessons in nutrition[l] and how to help people if they are ill. These subjects are useful for their home life. Students have lunch at around 11:15 a. m., then the school day e 4 at noon. Students play games together before they go back to work later in the afternoon. Train platform schools don’t have computers. If students want to know something, they have to ask the teacher or look in a b 5 . They can’t just log on and find the information on the internet. They don’t have a library either—the teachers bring everything with them. And there aren’t any school trips, because it isn’t p 6 at the train platform schools. Of course, the teachers at train platform schools are v 7 —they work for free. The first train platform school opened in 1985. Now there are many platform schools all over India with thousands of students. The teachers who work there believe that it is important for all children to have the chance to learn. They believe that if a child can’t go to school, then the school must come to the child. Word box[1] nutrition n. 营养 Passage 3 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） We may meet with people we will never forget in our lives. We will never truly know how these people and how these moments affect us or to what extent (在什么程度上) they change the direction of the paths in our lives. When I was fifteen years old, our farmhouse door was knocked by Mr. Ingram. The old farmer lived about a mile away d 1 the road and needed help to cut grass. It was the first time I was actually paid for work—about 12 cents an hour, not bad when you consider it was 1939, a time when there was little business activity. Mr. Ingram liked the job I did and ended up hiring me to dig potatoes. I even helped when a b 2 cow was being born. One day, he found that an old truck was stuck in the soft, sandy soil of the melon field. It was full of melons so someone must have tried to steal b 3 their truck got stuck. Mr. Ingram explained that the truck’s owner would be returning soon, and he wanted me to watch and learn. Soon a man from a nearby village came with his two full-grown sons. They were know for fighting and s 4 . They looked very angry. Calmly Mr. Ingram said, “Well, I think you want to buy some watermelons.” There was a long silence before the man answered, “Yeah, I guess so. What are you asking for them?” “Twenty-five cents e 5 .” “Well, I guess that would be fair enough if you help me get my truck out of here.” It turned out to be our biggest sale of the summer, and an unpleasant, perhaps unfortunate incident had been prevented. After they left, Mr. Ingram smiled and said to me, “Son, if you don’t forgive your enemies, you are going to r 6 our of friends.” Mr. Ingram died a few years later, but I have never f 7 what he taught me on my first job! Passage 4 Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给) Nowadays, students often use the internet for school work or homework. If we need information for an essay or project, we can find it online quickly and easily. However, there are millions of websites. Some of them provide a 1 information, but others contain incorrect and misleading content. This is why we should check a website before we believe what it is telling us. Imagine you have found an article that seems u 2 . Here are some tips to help you check it. First, look at the URL. It may tell you something about the website, its creator, its goal, and where it comes from. Then, think about why the writing was created. Is it to teach or e 3 something to you, or is it trying to advertise something? For example, if the article is telling you all about a well—known public figure and how important and amazing they are, be careful. Its real p 4 may be to get you to vote for them, so the information in it may not be fair. Next, check the writer’s b 5 by looking at the website. Look for a link to their “About me” page to learn more about their education and experience. Is he or she professional in this area? Do you think this person is able to write about the subject? After that, check to see whether any information has been taken from another website. If it has, go to the first source to check that the information hasn’t been changed. Also, look at the date of publication. Old articles can be unreliable because they m 6 the latest facts, or because the situation has recently changed. Finally, weigh everything up and decide if you trust the information. U 7 there is no way to be 100% sure that a site is trustworthy, so you need to consider all these things and then decide whether you trust it. If you post your own writing on a blog or website, some of these tips may help improve your own writing too. Give links and references to your information sources, and mention your own experience and expertise. Passage 5 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。 Jack escaped from prison because he wanted to find two men, Martin and someone called “Laohu”. That was all Jack knew about the second man. He knew Martin when they were officers in the army. Richard, the detective, left London on the same day Jack escaped. His job was to help the police c 1 Jack again. Richard got on the train at five o’clock and an hour later, he was asleep in the warm train compartment (车厢) while Jack was still in his hiding place in the field, 100 miles away. The winter evening got darker and colder and he could hardly feel his f 2 arms and legs. Jack was hungry and tired. He knew clearly that he had to find food, warm clothing and a warm place somewhere. “I can’t just stay in this field and die of the cold!” he said to h 3 . Then Jack stood up and began to walk. A few minutes later, Jack could see better in the moonlight. He looked around and saw a small light, not far away. “What can it be? It can’t be a car because it isn’t m 4 . It must be a house!” he thought and began to walk towards it. The light got larger. It was a house. He could see the form of the roof in the d 5 . Ten minutes later, Jack was outside the house. He stopped and listened, but felt strange. He couldn’t hear anything, not e 6 a television, but he was sure there must be someone there because there was a light on. An idea suddenly appeared, “This is probably the only house around for miles! The police know I’m probably around here somewhere. And if they’re anywhere, they’re in that house, waiting for me!” Jack kept still. His face and hands were like ice in the snow. “I have to take the c 7 ! I have to! This is the only place I can find warm clothes and food!” he thought. At that time, he heard the sound of the train. 三、人与自然 Passage 1 A Fun Friend for Everyone Is your idea of a perfect pet one that is soft, fury and loving? How about one that is e 1 to care for and won’t make a mess? You can have both with a robo-pet! A robo-pet, short for robotic pet, is not a real animal, but it looks like a real one. It’s also often covered in soft fur. But don’t worry if real cats or dogs make you sneeze. The fake fur on robo-pets is h 2 to anyone. These battery-powered pets can do many things that a real pet can do. They are pure and pretty. They can play games, bark and do more! Of course, robots can’t c 3 take the place of animals. Robots are limited in what they can be programmed to do. But this technology is improving. Soon it may be difficult to tell the d 4 between a robo-pet and a real pet. Older people are especially fond of robo-pets. They may not have the energy to care for a real pet. Older people may also have m 5 loss and can forget to care for a real pet. Or they may not be able to afford the food and medicine that animals need. But robo-pets don’t require such care and can be a fun presence in someone’s life. Robo-pets give them the chance to enjoy a pet w 6 any of the responsibilities. Robo-pets are p 7 among children, too. For children who are scared of real dogs or cats, robo-pets can also gradually help them face their fears. And if kids want to go beyond the typical dogs and cats, they can choose something more imaginative. Robotic toy leopards, dinosaur and more are also possibilities. Caring for a robo-pet can be a good way to learn responsibility. Passage 2 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) Air pollution, as we know it today, started with the Industrial Revolution in Europe in the 19th century. In the last few decades, it has b 1 a serious problem for our environment. When harmful elements get into the air, they may cause health problems and can also d 2 the environment, buildings and soil. They make the ozone layer (臭氧层) much thinner and the climate more changeable. Our modern lifestyle has led to dirtier air over the years. Factories, all kinds of vehicles, the growing number of people are the things that are r 3 for air pollution today. But not all air pollution is caused by people. Smog, forest fires, dust storms and volcanic eruptions can also lead to the pollution of the atmosphere. Smog(雾霾) is a m 4 of smoke and fog. It occurs when gases from hurt fuel get together with fog on the ground. When heat and sunlight get together with these gases, they form dangerous particles (颗粒) in the air. Smog occurs in big cities with a lot of traffic, e 5 in the summer time. When it is very hot. Smog stays near the ground. It causes lung diseases and breathing problems and in smog areas, we can’t see well. Today, cities with a large p 6 have the biggest smog problems—Los Angeles, Mexico City or Cairo. The smog often stays over the cities for many days. Thousands of people die in London every year. A lot of measures have been taken to prevent smog so far. Drivers are not a 7 to drive on smog days in some cities. Factories use coal that doesn’t have much sulfur (硫磺) in it. So cars are much environmentally friendly today. Passage 3 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. Guide dogs are service animals which are carefully trained to lead their owners around, avoiding other people and objects, so their owners can travel s 1 and independently. In honour of the guide dogs, April 29th is named International Guide Dog Day. Without them, many disabled people could not do simple daily activities. Here are three stories of how guide dogs have i 2 people’s lives: Story 1 Creating hope Nathan was born with eye illness. At nineteen years old, he lost his sight c 3 . At that time, he felt hopeless. Then his family decided to get a guide dog, Hudson and that made a big difference in his life. Hudson helped Nathan cross the road, take a bus and even buy things at the supermarket. Now, even though Nathan can’t see, he becomes b 4 enough to do anything. Hudson is more than just a guide dog. He is Nathan’s best friend. Story 2 Going after a dream Sami is just like any sixteen-year-old girl, except that she is blind. However, that hasn’t stopped Sami from long distance running. Before going blind, she loved to run and she didn’t want to stop because of her disability. Thanks to her guide dog, Chloe, she is able to c 5 doing what she loves. Chloe runs with Sami for miles and trains with her every day. This makes Sami strong enough to do long distance running with her teammates. Story 3 B 6 friendship Maisy and Claire are both blind and they met when they got their guide dogs. Their dogs liked each other, so Maisy and Claire started talking. They began to spend time together because of their dogs, and they got along really well. They enjoyed being together, and their dogs did too. It was nice because they could understand each other since they both had the same e 7 of not being able to see. Passage 4 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。 They are summer-time singers. They’re found everywhere except in the North and South Poles. And even though they’re common, they’re also quite fascinating. Who are they? Grasshoppers! A 1 Body Grasshoppers have an exoskeleton which means the skeleton is on the outside of their body. They have two sets of wings. The front pair is hard and strong, like a shell. The back pair is soft and flexible, which allows the grasshopper to change directions quickly and smoothly during f 2 . The grasshopper also has three pairs of very strong legs. They use these to walk and to jump 20 times their own body length. Imagine if you could do that! Have you ever tried to catch a grasshopper? You won’t even have a chance. It’s because they have five eyes in total, which help them see in almost every direction. This means they can r 3 miss noticing any danger coming. Music Makers If you hear a pleasant chirp (唧唧声) on a summer night, it could be a male grasshopper trying to attract a female one, or ask other males to stay away. It p 4 the sound by rubbing the back leg against its forewing, just like playing the violin. Next time you hear the chirping sound in summer, remember it’s a grasshopper’s l 5 song or a warning call. Friend or enemy? Some grasshoppers like the taste of wheat, corn and cotton—all things we use and farmers hate to l 6 . In fact, a large group of grasshoppers called locusts can quickly and easily eat up a farmer’s crops in just a few minutes. However, not all grasshoppers are monsters. A type of grasshoppers called Turnbull helps c 7 the growth of weeds (野草) by eating them. The Two-Striped grasshoppers eat plants that are harmful to cows. Passage 5 “Woof! Woof!” My name is Mak and I’m a golden retriever (猎犬). Today is my big day! My new owner is coming to the shelter to take me home. I came to this shelter after a rescuer saved me from the streets. I was a stray dog and homeless. I lived on the streets because my owner abandoned (抛弃) me. He just l 1 me on the street one day for reasons that I don’t quite understand. Life was really hard on the streets. I was a bit aggressive (好斗的) and fierce when the rescuer saved me. I showed my teeth and barked at him because I was very a 2 and hungry. In reality, I am really friendly and love human companionship (陪伴). B 3 , I was already house trained before I came to live in this shelter. So, I’m all ready for adoption (收养). I still remember the day I met my new owner. She came to look for a companion on a hot summer day last month. I was playing with my friends when she came to the shelter. I was jumping around like crazy and stepped right on her toes. I felt really nervous until she g 4 patted (轻拍) me on my head with a loving smile on her face. It was so heart-warming that I hugged her back in return straight away. It’s true that each adoption means two lives are saved. When you adopt, you save one of us by giving us a cozy home and, at the same time, free up shelter space for a 5 dog in need. I’m extremely excited about going to my new owner’s home but I still have w 6 . As an adult dog, I have some bad habits and I hope that my new owner will be patient with me. I hope that she’ll not abandon me like my previous owner. People should think twice if they aren’t ready to be r 7 for a pet. 试卷第1页，共3页 1 / 25 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 首字母填空进阶练15篇 一、人与自我 1 二、人与社会 9 三、人与自然 17 一、人与自我 Passage 1 If you are excited by solving puzzles, unlocking secrets and working as a team against the clock, then an escape room (密室逃脱) experience is perfect for you.

It may sound like a l 1 idea, but in fact we can find doing nothing at all—and no sleep—very hard to do. In a famous study a few years ago at the University of Virginia, participants were led one at a time into a c 2 empty room with no distractions (分心之物). They had no phones, no books, no screens—and they weren’t allowed to take a nap. Electrodes (电极) were fitted to their ankles, and they were left alone for 15 minutes. It was a chance to kick back and relax for a short while. So, how did it go? Well, before being left alone, participants were shown how to press a computer key connected to a machine that gave an electric shock. You might think that having tried it once, no one would want to do it again. W 3 . In fact, 71% of the men and 25% of the women gave themselves at least one electric shock during their time alone and one man shocked himself a shocking 190 times. It turns out that having nothing to do was so torturing (折磨人的) that many of the participants p 4 to, in fact, torture themselves rather than put up with no distraction. This experiment is an e 5 example, but we know from everyday life that people continuously choose to do things they don’t need to do and which are sometimes painful. Think of your friends who run 40 kilometers a time or set punishing rules at the gym. They go way beyond what is required for their health and fitness. Michael Inzlicht from the University of Toronto calls this the paradox (悖论) of effort. Sometimes we take the easy way and do as little as possible, but other times we actually enjoy the situations more when we have to work hard. The j 6 of putting in effort can be so great that we choose not to take the easy way out. For example, we might spend hours solving a difficult math problem on our own instead of just looking up the answer on a learning app. During this difficult time, we can find that we are not born l 7 . Indeed in a strange way we might find that doing less, and resting more, actually requires a lot more effort than one would think. 【答案】1．(l)ovely 2．(c)ompletely 3．(W)rong 4．(p)referred 5．(e)xtreme 6．(j)oy 7．(l)azy 【导语】本文通过弗吉尼亚大学的研究（参与者在无干扰房间的异常行为 ）及日常生活例子（如朋友过度运动 ），阐述了努力的悖论，即人们有时宁愿努力做事也不愿轻松度日，说明休息比看上去更难，少做事多休息实则需付出更多努力。 1．句意：这听起来可能是个美妙的主意，但事实上我们会发现，什么都不做（而且还不睡觉 ）其实非常难。根据前文“lying on a grassland for a whole afternoon, just staring at the sky and listening to the silence”可知这样惬意的场景，这种场景给人的感觉是不错的，所以需要一个表示美好、宜人的形容词来修饰“idea”。故填(l)ovely。 2．句意：在几年前弗吉尼亚大学的一项著名研究中，参与者被依次带入一个完全空旷且没有干扰物的房间。根据“empty room with no distractions”可知这里需要一个副词来修饰“empty”，强调房间没有任何东西干扰，是完全空旷的状态，从文中对房间的描述可推出。故填(c)ompletely。 3．句意：你可能会认为试过一次之后，没人会想再做一次。错了。根据“You might think that having tried it once, no one would want to do it again.”，“In fact, 71% of the men and 25% of the women gave themselves at least one electric shock during their time alone”可知前后形成转折，说明前面的想法是错误的。故填(W)rong。 4．句意：事实证明，无事可做是如此折磨人，以至于许多参与者宁愿折磨自己，也不愿忍受没有分心的事情。根据“It turns out that having nothing to do was so torturing that many of the participants... rather than put up with no distraction.”结合固定搭配prefer to do sth. rather than do sth.“宁愿做某事而不愿做某事”，从参与者的行为可推出他们宁愿折磨自己。故填(p)referred。 5．句意：这个实验是一个极端的例子，但我们从日常生活中知道，人们不断地选择做他们不需要做的事情，有时是痛苦的。前文描述的实验中，参与者在无事可做时宁愿电击自己，这种情况比较特殊、超出常理，所以需要一个表示极端的形容词来修饰“example”。故填(e)xtreme。 6．句意：付出努力的快乐是如此之大，以至于我们选择不走捷径。根据“Sometimes we take the easy way and do as little as possible, but other times we actually enjoy the situations more when we have to work hard.”说明付出努力能带来一种让人愿意选择努力而非轻松方式的感受，即愉悦感。故填(j)oy。 7．句意：在这个困难的时刻，我们可以发现，我们不是天生懒惰的。前文提到人们有时宁愿努力做事，比如自己花时间解数学难题，也不愿选择轻松查找答案的方式，说明人不是天生就倾向于懒惰、不做事。故填(l)azy。 Passage 3 Memory is a key skill for students, especially when it comes to studying for tests or learning new things. Here are some e 1 memory techniques that can help you remember information more easily. 1. Mnemonics Mnemonics are tools that help you remember information using patterns or phrases. For example, to remember the colors of the rainbow, you can use “ROYGBIV” to s 2 for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. Having your own mnemonics can be a fun way to learn. 2. Visualization Visualizing information can increase memory. When you learn something new, try to c 3 a mental image of it. For example, if you are studying biology and learning about the parts of a cell, imagine each part as a different object. This technique helps your brain make a stronger c 4 to the information. 3. Chunking Chunking is a technique where you break information into s 5 parts. For instance, if you need to memorize a long number like 987654321, you can break it into chunks: 987-654-321. This method helps your brain recall the information more easily. 4. Repetition Repetition is one of the best ways to strengthen your memory. Review your notes r 6 and say the information out loud. Repeating what you’ve learned helps your brain remember it better. 5. Teaching Others Teaching someone else what you’ve learned is a great way to build up your memory. When you explain a topic to a friend or family member, you review the information and identify what you still need to learn. By using these memory techniques, you can improve your a 7 to learn and remember important information. Try adding these methods to your study routine, and you might find studying becomes much easier and more enjoyable! 【答案】1．(e)ffective 2．(s)tand 3．(c)reate 4．(c)onnection 5．(s)maller 6．(r)egularly 7．(a)bility 【导语】本文给学生提供了一些有效的记忆技巧。 1．句意：这里有一些有效的记忆技巧，可以帮助你更容易地记住信息。根据“memory techniques that can help you remember information more easily.”以及首字母提示可知，此处指的是有效的记忆技巧，effective“有效的”，作定语。故填(e)ffective。 2．句意：例如，要记住彩虹的颜色，你可以用“ROYGBIV”来代表红色、橙色、黄色、绿色、蓝色、靛蓝和紫色。根据“for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet.”以及首字母提示，此处指的是代表这些颜色，stand for“代表”，为动词短语，不定式符号to接动词原形，故填(s)tand。 3．句意：当你学习新东西时，试着在脑海中形成它的图像。根据“a mental image of it”以及首字母提示，此处指的是创造图像，create“创造”，try to do sth“试着做某事”，因此填动词原形。故填(c)reate。 4．句意：这种技巧可以帮助你的大脑与信息建立更强的联系。根据“This technique helps your brain make a stronger…to the information.”以及首字母提示可知，此处指的是建立联系，connection“联系”符合语境，a接名词单数。故填(c)onnection。 5．句意：分块是一种将信息分成更小部分的技术。根据“Chunking is a technique where you break information into…parts”以及首字母提示，此处指的是分成更小的部分，smaller“更小的”，修饰名词parts。故填(s)maller。 6．句意：定期回顾你的笔记，大声说出来。根据“Review your notes”以及首字母提示，此处指的定期回顾，regularly“有规律地”，修饰动词Review。故填(r)egularly。 7．句意：通过使用这些记忆技巧，你可以提高你学习和记忆重要信息的能力。根据“you can improve your…to learn and remember important information.”可知，此处指的提高学习和记忆信息的能力，ability“能力”符合语境，故填(a)bility。 Passage 4 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） Over time, most cities get larger. What happens? What is the r 1 ? Families who live in a city have children who grow up and need their o 2 places to live. People move to the city from other places. The city needs more houses and apartment buildings for people to live in. People build new houses and apartment buildings on green land around the city. The city gets larger and takes up more land. This is c 3 urban sprawl (城市扩张). Farmland around the city is sold so people can build on it. There is less farmland in the area for growing food. When there are fewer farms in an area, more food needs to come from places farther away. Transporting more food on trucks, trains, and planes puts more pollution into the air. Trees and plants that grew on the green land are destroyed when new buildings go up. Animals that need trees and plants for food or s 4 must try to find a new place to live. Some animals will not find a new place to live and will die. Animals can become endangered or extinct. How to deal with urban sprawl? Here are some things cities are doing to s 5 or slow down the problem. Building houses with smaller backyards: This means more houses can fit on a large piece of land. Then less green land is destroyed for new homes. Building taller buildings in a city: Taller buildings provide more s 6 for people to live and work inside the city. Many homes can fit on a small patch of land. Then there is less need to put up new buildings or green land. Creating greenbelts. A greenbelt is a green area around a city where people are not allowed to build. O 3 farms, parks and wild countryside are allowed in a greenbelt, so urban sprawl will not take over the land. 【答案】1．(r)eason 2．(o)wn 3．(c)alled 4．(s)helter 5．(s)olve 6．(s)pace 7．(O)nly 【导语】本文详细阐述了城市扩张的现象及带来的影响，如城市变大占用更多土地、破坏绿地和农田、导致动物栖息地减少等问题，并提出了一些应对城市扩张的措施，如建造较小后院的房屋、建设更高的建筑物、创建绿化带等。 1．句意：原因是什么？由下文“The city needs more houses and apartment buildings for people to live in”可知，城市需要房子和公寓居住是城市变大的原因，结合首字母可知，此空填“reason”表示“原因”，由“is”可知，此空用单数。故填(r)eason。 2．句意：住在城市里的家庭，他们的孩子长大后需要自己的居住之地。由“need their...places to live”和所给首字母可知，指的是长大后的孩子需要自己的住所，此空填“own”表示“某人自己的”。故填(o)wn。 3．句意：这被称为城市扩张。由“The city gets larger and takes up more land.”可知城市变大叫作城市扩张；此空填“called”表示“叫作”，过去分词和be动词构成被动语态。故填(c)alled。 4．句意：需要树木和植物作为食物或庇护所的动物必须努力寻找新的居住地。由“must try to find a new place to live.”可知此句指的是动物需要的食物和栖息地，结合所给首字母可知，此空填“shelter”表示“栖息地”。故填(s)helter。 5．句意：以下是一些城市正在采取的措施来解决或减缓这个问题。由“or slow down the problem.”可知，是解决这个问题，结合所给首字母可知，此空填“solve”，表示“解决”，不定式符号后用动词原形。故填(s)olve。 6．句意：在城市中建造更高的建筑物：更高的建筑物为人们在城市内部提供了更多的居住和工作空间。由“Taller buildings provide more”和所给首字母可知更高的建筑物能提供更多的空间，此空填“space”表示“空间”，不可数名词。故填(s)pace。 7．句意：只有农场、公园和野外乡村可以在绿化带内，这样城市扩张就不会占领这片土地。由“farms, parks and wild countryside are allowed in a greenbelt,”可知，绿化带中只允许农场、公园和野生乡村存在，以防止城市扩张影响这些土地。结合所给首字母可知，此空填“Only”，表示“只有”。故填(O)nly。 Passage 5 Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给)    Do memes improve our language?

In India, some children work to help their parents. These children often work at railway stations. They sell things to the people who travel on the trains. It is difficult for them to go to school as they work during the day. But, thanks to train platform schools, these children can now get an e 1 . At train platform schools, the children don’t go to a school to study. A teacher comes to the train station where they work. The children arrive at the train station very early in the morning and work for a couple of hours. Then, at eight o’clock, they start school. They sit with their classmates and the teacher on the platform and learn different subjects. Train platform schools are like t 2 schools in many ways. For example, the students at train platform schools study Maths, Art and English. However, they a 3 study practical subjects. For example, they have lessons in nutrition[l] and how to help people if they are ill. These subjects are useful for their home life. Students have lunch at around 11:15 a. m., then the school day e 4 at noon. Students play games together before they go back to work later in the afternoon. Train platform schools don’t have computers. If students want to know something, they have to ask the teacher or look in a b 5 . They can’t just log on and find the information on the internet. They don’t have a library either—the teachers bring everything with them. And there aren’t any school trips, because it isn’t p 6 at the train platform schools. Of course, the teachers at train platform schools are v 7 —they work for free. The first train platform school opened in 1985. Now there are many platform schools all over India with thousands of students. The teachers who work there believe that it is important for all children to have the chance to learn. They believe that if a child can’t go to school, then the school must come to the child.

We will never truly know how these people and how these moments affect us or to what extent (在什么程度上) they change the direction of the paths in our lives. When I was fifteen years old, our farmhouse door was knocked by Mr. Ingram. The old farmer lived about a mile away d 1 the road and needed help to cut grass. It was the first time I was actually paid for work—about 12 cents an hour, not bad when you consider it was 1939, a time when there was little business activity. Mr. Ingram liked the job I did and ended up hiring me to dig potatoes. I even helped when a b 2 cow was being born. One day, he found that an old truck was stuck in the soft, sandy soil of the melon field. It was full of melons so someone must have tried to steal b 3 their truck got stuck. Mr. Ingram explained that the truck’s owner would be returning soon, and he wanted me to watch and learn. Soon a man from a nearby village came with his two full-grown sons. They were know for fighting and s 4 . They looked very angry. Calmly Mr. Ingram said, “Well, I think you want to buy some watermelons.” There was a long silence before the man answered, “Yeah, I guess so. What are you asking for them?” “Twenty-five cents e 5 .” “Well, I guess that would be fair enough if you help me get my truck out of here.” It turned out to be our biggest sale of the summer, and an unpleasant, perhaps unfortunate incident had been prevented. After they left, Mr. Ingram smiled and said to me, “Son, if you don’t forgive your enemies, you are going to r 6 our of friends.” Mr. Ingram died a few years later, but I have never f 7 what he taught me on my first job! 【答案】1．(d)own 2．(b)aby 3．(b)ut 1．(s)tealing 2．(e)ach 3．(r)un 4．(f)orgotten 【导语】本文讲述Mr. Ingram给作者儿时带来难忘回忆的故事。有一天，有人来西瓜地偷西瓜，但是卡车被卡在了泥地里，Mr. Ingram没有与他们争吵，而是问他们是不是要买西瓜，偷瓜贼只好说是，并请求他们帮他把车子拖出来。 1．句意：沿着这条路，这位老农民住在离这条路一英里远的地方，需要帮助割草。短语down the road表示“沿着这条路”，此处缺少介词down。故填(d)own。 2．句意：我甚至在一头奶牛正在出生时也去帮忙。根据“cow was being born.”可知，这里指小牛出生，baby意为“婴儿”。故填(b)aby。 3．句意：里面装满了瓜，所以一定是有人想偷瓜，但是他们的车陷在沙土里了。前后是转折关系，此处缺少连词but。故填(b)ut。 4．句意：他们以打架和偷窃闻名。根据“It was full of melons so someone must have tried to steal”可知，他们以打架和偷窃闻名，steal意为“偷”，这里用stealing与fighting并列。故填(s)tealing。 5．句意：每个二十五美分。根据“I think you want to buy some watermelons.”可知，这里指每个二十五美分，each意为“每个”。故填(e)ach。 6．句意：儿子，如果你不原谅你的敌人，你就会失去我们的朋友。根据“if you don’t forgive your enemies,”以及常识可知，如果你不原谅你的敌人，你就会失去朋友，“run out of”表示“用完，耗尽”。故填(r)un。 7．句意：Mr. Ingram几年后去世了，但我永远不会忘记他在我第一份工作中教给我的东西！根据“Mr. Ingram died a few years later,”可知，老农民去世了，但“我”从未忘记他在“我”第一份工作时教给“我”的东西，“forget”表示“忘记”，这里用过去分词“forgotten”构成现在完成时。故填(f)orgotten。 Passage 4 Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给) Nowadays, students often use the internet for school work or homework. If we need information for an essay or project, we can find it online quickly and easily. However, there are millions of websites. Some of them provide a 1 information, but others contain incorrect and misleading content. This is why we should check a website before we believe what it is telling us. Imagine you have found an article that seems u 2 . Here are some tips to help you check it. First, look at the URL. It may tell you something about the website, its creator, its goal, and where it comes from. Then, think about why the writing was created. Is it to teach or e 3 something to you, or is it trying to advertise something? For example, if the article is telling you all about a well—known public figure and how important and amazing they are, be careful. Its real p 4 may be to get you to vote for them, so the information in it may not be fair. Next, check the writer’s b 5 by looking at the website. Look for a link to their “About me” page to learn more about their education and experience. Is he or she professional in this area? Do you think this person is able to write about the subject? After that, check to see whether any information has been taken from another website. If it has, go to the first source to check that the information hasn’t been changed. Also, look at the date of publication. Old articles can be unreliable because they m 6 the latest facts, or because the situation has recently changed. Finally, weigh everything up and decide if you trust the information.

His job was to help the police c 1 Jack again. Richard got on the train at five o’clock and an hour later, he was asleep in the warm train compartment (车厢) while Jack was still in his hiding place in the field, 100 miles away. The winter evening got darker and colder and he could hardly feel his f 2 arms and legs. Jack was hungry and tired. He knew clearly that he had to find food, warm clothing and a warm place somewhere. “I can’t just stay in this field and die of the cold!” he said to h 3 . Then Jack stood up and began to walk. A few minutes later, Jack could see better in the moonlight. He looked around and saw a small light, not far away. “What can it be? It can’t be a car because it isn’t m 4 . It must be a house!” he thought and began to walk towards it. The light got larger. It was a house. He could see the form of the roof in the d 5 . Ten minutes later, Jack was outside the house. He stopped and listened, but felt strange. He couldn’t hear anything, not e 6 a television, but he was sure there must be someone there because there was a light on. An idea suddenly appeared, “This is probably the only house around for miles! The police know I’m probably around here somewhere. And if they’re anywhere, they’re in that house, waiting for me!” Jack kept still. His face and hands were like ice in the snow. “I have to take the c 7 ! I have to! This is the only place I can find warm clothes and food!” he thought. At that time, he heard the sound of the train. 【答案】1．(c)atch 2．(f)rozen 3．(h)imself 4．(m)oving 5．(d)ark/(d)arkness 6．(e)ven 7．(c)hance 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了杰克从监狱逃脱后，在寒冷冬夜的野外艰难求生的经历。 1．句意：他的任务是协助警方再次抓住杰克。根据上文“Jack escaped from prison”、“His job was to help the police ...”以及首字母“c”提示可知，Richard作为侦探，他的工作是帮助警察再次抓住杰克；考查catch“抓住”，动词；根据空前“help the police”可知，这里考查help sb. do sth.“帮助某人做某事”，固定搭配，因此这里应用动词原形。故填(c)atch。 2．句意：冬日的夜晚愈发黑暗和寒冷，他几乎感觉不到自己冻僵的胳膊和腿。根据上文“winter evening got darker and colder”和首字母“f”提示可知，冬天的夜晚很寒冷，所以此处是指他的胳膊和腿都冻僵了，应用形容词frozen“冻僵的”，在句中作定语，修饰名词“arms”和“legs”。故填(f)rozen。 3．句意：“我不能就这么待在这片田野里冻死！”他自言自语道。根据“I can’t just stay in this field and die of the cold!”和首字母“h”提示可知，“我不能就待在这片田野里冻死！”这是他在自言自语；考查say to oneself“自言自语”，固定搭配，应用himself“他自己”，反身代词。故填(h)imself。 4．句意：不可能是一辆车，因为它没有移动。根据“It can’t be a car”和首字母“m”提示可知，它不可能是汽车，因为车通常是移动的；考查moving“移动的”。故填(m)oving。 5．句意：在黑暗中，他能看到屋顶的轮廓。根据上文“The winter evening got darker”和首字母“d”提示可知，此处是指在夜晚的黑暗中他能看到屋顶形状；考查in the dark/darkness“在黑暗中”，介词短语。故填(d)ark/(d)arkness。 6．句意：他什么声音都听不到，甚至连电视声都没有，但他确定里面一定有人，因为灯还亮着。根据“not … a television”和首字母“e”提示可知，此处是指他甚至连电视声都听不到，应用even加强语气，突出房子里异常安静。故填(e)ven。 7．句意：我必须冒险一试！根据语境和首字母“c”提示可知，杰克虽然怀疑房子里可能有警察在等他，但他又很冷很饿，需要食物和温暖的衣服，所以他觉得自己必须 “冒险”；考查take the chance“冒险”，动词短语。故填(c)hance。 三、人与自然 Passage 1 A Fun Friend for Everyone Is your idea of a perfect pet one that is soft, fury and loving? How about one that is e 1 to care for and won’t make a mess? You can have both with a robo-pet! A robo-pet, short for robotic pet, is not a real animal, but it looks like a real one. It’s also often covered in soft fur. But don’t worry if real cats or dogs make you sneeze. The fake fur on robo-pets is h 2 to anyone. These battery-powered pets can do many things that a real pet can do. They are pure and pretty. They can play games, bark and do more! Of course, robots can’t c 3 take the place of animals. Robots are limited in what they can be programmed to do. But this technology is improving. Soon it may be difficult to tell the d 4 between a robo-pet and a real pet. Older people are especially fond of robo-pets. They may not have the energy to care for a real pet. Older people may also have m 5 loss and can forget to care for a real pet. Or they may not be able to afford the food and medicine that animals need. But robo-pets don’t require such care and can be a fun presence in someone’s life. Robo-pets give them the chance to enjoy a pet w 6 any of the responsibilities. Robo-pets are p 7 among children, too. For children who are scared of real dogs or cats, robo-pets can also gradually help them face their fears. And if kids want to go beyond the typical dogs and cats, they can choose something more imaginative. Robotic toy leopards, dinosaur and more are also possibilities. Caring for a robo-pet can be a good way to learn responsibility. 【答案】1．(e)asy 2．(h)armless 3．(c)ompletely 4．(d)ifference 5．(m)emory 6．(w)ithout 7．(p)opular 【导语】本文主要介绍了机器人宠物的特点及其对不同人群的益处。 1．句意：那如果是那种易于照顾且不会弄脏东西的宠物呢？根据“and won’t make a mess”可知，此处描述的是机器宠物容易照顾且不会弄脏东西的特点，结合首字母“e”，可填easy，表示“容易的”，故填(e)asy。 2．句意：机器人宠物上的假毛对任何人来说都是无害的。根据“if real cats or dogs make you sneeze”可知，此处描述的是对真正宠物过敏的人不用担心机器人宠物，因为机器人宠物上的假毛对任何人都是无害的，结合首字母“h”，可填harmless，表示“无害的”。故填(h)armless。 3．句意：当然，机器人不能完全取代动物。根据“Robots are limited in what they can be programmed to do.”可知，此处描述的是机器人宠物虽然有很多功能，但不能完全取代真正的动物，结合首字母“c”，可填completely，表示“完全地”，副词修饰动词。故填(c)ompletely。 4．句意：很快，人们可能很难区分机器人宠物和真正的宠物。根据“between a robo-pet and a real pet”可知，此处描述的是机器人宠物和真正宠物之间的区别，结合首字母“d”，可填difference，表示“区别”，“tell the difference”即“区分”。故填(d)ifference。 5．句意：老年人也可能有记忆力减退的问题，可能会忘记照顾真正的宠物。根据“can forget to care for a real pet”可知，此处描述的是老年人可能会忘记照顾真正的宠物，这可能是因为他们的记忆力减退，结合首字母“m”，可填memory，表示“记忆力”，“memory loss”即“记忆力减退”。故填(m)emory。 6．句意：机器人宠物让他们有机会享受拥有宠物的乐趣，而无需承担任何责任。根据“any of the responsibilities”可知，此处描述的是机器人宠物让老年人享受拥有宠物的乐趣，而无需承担任何责任，结合首字母“w”，可填without，表示“没有”，故填(w)ithout。 7．句意：机器人宠物在孩子们中间也很受欢迎。根据“For children who are scared of real dogs or cats, robo-pets can also gradually help them face their fears.”可知，此处描述的是机器人宠物在孩子们中间也很受欢迎，结合首字母“p”，可填popular，表示“受欢迎的”，“be popular among”即“在……中间受欢迎”。故填(p)opular。 Passage 2 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) Air pollution, as we know it today, started with the Industrial Revolution in Europe in the 19th century.

The back pair is soft and flexible, which allows the grasshopper to change directions quickly and smoothly during f 2 . The grasshopper also has three pairs of very strong legs. They use these to walk and to jump 20 times their own body length. Imagine if you could do that! Have you ever tried to catch a grasshopper? You won’t even have a chance. It’s because they have five eyes in total, which help them see in almost every direction. This means they can r 3 miss noticing any danger coming. Music Makers If you hear a pleasant chirp (唧唧声) on a summer night, it could be a male grasshopper trying to attract a female one, or ask other males to stay away.
