And I believed it would come t 1 . But two years ago, I decided to give up on this. The r 2 is that my mother, as a manager of a company, often works too much and does not have time to take care of our family. So, I will not do the s 3 . Now, my dream is to be a great d 4 . I hope to make sick people well quickly so that they can enjoy their lives. I also hope I can prolong the average lifespan of people to 100 years old. Then, people can see what life will be like in the next century. Isn’t that cool? But my mother questions this. “If everybody lives for 100 years, then the world will have a huge population,” she said. “The m 5 people there are, the fewer resources we will have. What do we do then?” Although it’s a difficult question for me, I think we can solve it step by step. Perhaps there is a 6 student who has a big dream like I do, and he or she can work out that problem. Then my job is just to let more people live long and h 7 lives. In any case, I will stick to my dream and try my best to be a good doctor. How Can You Save That Egg? Use masking tape and cotton balls or other soft materials to wrap an egg up (把……包起来). Then, drop it from the roof of your school. Have you ever done this before? It’s a classic science experiment called the egg drop challenge. Every year, many students around the world t 1 it. The goal is to keep the eggs from breaking. But as many students quickly learn, that’s easier said than done. Once the eggs break, teachers explain the physics behind the experiment. One popular c 2 is that eggs sitting vertically (垂直地) are less likely to break than eggs sitting horizontally (水平地). But is it true? Tal Cohen is an engineering professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (麻省理工学院). After running the egg drop challenge for years, she began to wonder if she had been telling students the r 3 story. To find out, she and her colleagues bought more than 200 eggs and took them into the lab. In their experiments, the researchers discovered that eggs that landed on their sides were a 4 less likely to break. This is because the shell (蛋壳) on an egg’s sides is less stiff than on its ends. When a dropped egg hits the ground on its side, the shell can soak up (吸收) some of the blow. This e 5 isn’t seen with eggs dropped on their ends. “It’s just like the human body,” explained Joseph E. Bonavia, one of the researchers. “Imagine you are falling from a height. If you land with your legs s 6 , you’ll break your bones. You’ll want to bend (使弯曲) your knees, and that’s what the egg is doing.” Cohen’s findings remind us that not everything we’ve been told is true. For this reason, we should keep an open mind and never be afraid to “break” some c 7 wisdom. The Night of the City Gate The smoke from the Battle of Red Cliffs (赤壁之战) had hardly cleared when the battle to capture the city of Jingzhou began. According to history, Zhou Yu was a brilliant general (将军) for Sun Quan. He f 1 fiercely with General Cao Ren, the leader of the city’s soldiers, outside its strong walls. Inside his own tent, Zhuge Liang, the top advisor for Liu Bei, watched and thought. He didn’t want to join this fight. In his mind, a clever plan was better than a strong army. One of his ways was to t 2 the enemy—something beyond direct attack. Knowing Cao Ren would soon have to pull back, he called his trusted general, Zhao Yun. He gave him a stolen token (令牌) and a simple o 3 : “Take your men. Wear the enemy’s clothes. Go to the city gate and make them let you in.” As evening fell, Zhao Yun’s soldiers walked toward the gates of Jingzhou. “Open the gate!” Zhao Yun shouted to the guards above, showing the token. “We are coming back from the battle! Let us in!” The guards saw the familiar soldier suits. Without a second thought, they opened the gate, which had been s 4 locked. It was the moment Zhuge Liang had planned for. The moment the gate was open, Zhao Yun and his men sprang into action. They m 5 to defeat the shocked guards very quickly, taking control of the city. From the darkness, Liu Bei’s main army appeared and poured silently into the heart of the city. The action turned out to be a complete s 6 . Afterwards, when Zhou Yu arrived expecting a welcome, he looked up at the walls and saw Liu Bei’s flags. He r 7 to believe that Jingzhou was lost. Zhuge Liang had not broken the walls by fighting, but had captured the city through a brilliant idea. There are lots of things that cause stress in our lives, such as school problems, arguments with friends and sometimes bad feelings about ourselves. We all e 1 stress at times, but it’s important to manage it properly and reduce its influence. Here are some helpful tips for dealing with stress. Sometimes we feel stressed w 2 understanding the reason. So, whenever you’re stressed, you should stop and think. What is really happening? How can you improve the matter? Try keeping a d 3 about your problems and the possible causes. In this way, you can relieve your stress and record your life as well. Do you always wait until Sunday evening to do homework? This bad habit can cause “last-minute” stress, as well as poor grades. To avoid that, time management is greatly needed. Plan your studies and other activities with a calendar. You can also d 4 big projects into smaller tasks so that you can always know how much time you really have. Besides, healthy habits are very important for reducing stress. Be sure to eat healthy meals and get at least eight hours of sleep. Avoid c 5 your mobile phone or using the computer before bedtime. It will keep you awake! When you’re feeling stressed, it’s helpful to speak to someone who is f 6 with you, such as your friends and family. Sometimes it’s enough to talk about your problems and share your feelings. Other times, however, you might need advice or suggestions. Don’t keep your worries to yourself. Finally, relaxation is important, find some free time for activities that you enjoy, such as sports, hobbies and meeting with friends. For example, seeing a film or hanging out after five days’ study could be a good choice. If you find some time to relax and enjoy yourself, you’ll c 7 feel refreshed (精神焕发的), have more energy, and reduce your level of stress. AI is one of the most important technological improvements of our time. And now—whether for better or for worse—it is making its way into children’s schools. Cottesmore School, a famous school in the United Kingdom, has taken things a step f 1 . It has become the first school in the world to appoint (任命) an AI robot as its principal head teacher. The robot even has a name: Abigail Bailey. Created in partnership with an AI developer, Abigail was designed to perform v 2 school leadership tasks. Much like ChatGPT, the online AI language model developed by OpenAI, Abigail relies on knowledge of machine learning and educational management to do her job. So far, Abigail has already helped head teacher Tom Rogerson with many duties. Rogerson hopes she will be able to support teachers in the classroom, a 3 pupils with learning difficulties, and even help make school rules. “We are stepping into the future while keeping the key values of t 4 education,” he explained. The robot has also made herself known on the school’s w 5 , where parents usually go online to check updates, news, and notices. There, she introduces herself as the new principal head teacher and outlines her future plans. B 6 , pupils at Cottesmore have each been given their own personalized AI robots to support their own learning styles. Calling AI a “world-changing technology”, Rogerson stressed the importance of preparing pupils to work together with it. Still, he made one thing clear. AI is not here to r 7 teachers. The use of AI in classrooms has been the subject of heated debate in recent years. Yet for now, it seems that more schools are beginning to welcome the technology with open arms. 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。 Apple came out with its iPhone 17 on September 9th. The “Cosmic Orange” color of the Pro model has caught people’s attention. This color is different from more c 1 ones like white and black. Colors are more than just visual (视觉的) effects. According to the American Marketing Association, bright colors can make a product seem better, even if the color doesn’t a 2 change how the product works. Why is this? According to an article from the University of Leeds, when light enters our eyes, s 3 cells at the back of our eyes react to different colors and send signals to the brain. Most signals go to the visual cortex (视觉皮层), where we see pictures. But some are sent to another part of the brain called the hypothalamus (下丘脑). This part controls things in our body, such as temperature and m 4 . So, this means colors can change how our bodies feel. For example, blue light can make our blood flow and heartbeat slow down. It can also lower our blood p 5 and help us relax, according to the University of Derby in the UK. Orange, on the other hand, wakes up our senses, making it great for catching attention. However, n 6 color has been shown to increase sales more than others, said researchers at the University of Southern California in the US. Still, successful brands often use colors to create their images. For example, Coca-Cola uses red because it i 7 heart rate and improves appetite (食欲). 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。 Have you ever watched a tennis game broadcast in English? If you have, then you probably have noticed that the score “40-0” is read as “Forty to love” instead of “Forty to zero”. If n 1 side scores a point (that is, 0-0), then the score will be “Love-all”. So how did “love” become a word for “zero” in tennis? Most people believe this expression comes from French. It is said that the French use the word “l’oeuf” (it means “the egg”) to mean a score of zero. This is s 2 to calling a score of zero “a duck’s egg” in British English. When tennis was i 3 into England from France, Englishmen also called a score of zero “l’oeuf”. However, some tennis fans didn’t know French. They mispronounced the French word as the English word “love” (the two words are c 4 in pronunciation). Over time, “love” ended up with a new meaning: a score of zero. This is the most popular explanation for the term’s origin (起源). Unluckily, researchers haven’t yet found p 5 that the French people ever used the word “l’oeuf” to mean “zero.” According to their studies, the French always call the number “zero”. Another explanation has been more widely a 6 among some researchers. It says this usage came from the expression “to play for love”. Players who fail to score any points don’t care. They play for their love of the game, not just for a w 7 to win. The researchers have found written records supporting this explanation. But most of the records are about card games, rather than tennis. So far, nobody knows for sure how “love” came to mean “zero” in tennis. More studies are needed to solve this puzzle. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入恰当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给) My Pet Rabbit Hello, everyone! My name is Johnny. Of all the animals, I’m most fascinated by rabbits. These little mammals have long ears and are good at hopping. Their thick fur makes them look very cute. Rabbits have always made good pets for humans. I have a pet rabbit named Luna. All my family members love her very much. Luna is a white rabbit with blue eyes and a pink nose. She has light brown patches on her ears. Her hearing is very good. Even when we whisper, she hears us very w 1 . We feed her fresh vegetable leaves. And cabbage leaves are her f 2 . Luna likes to play with me very much. Every time she sees me, she j 3 and runs around me. Sometimes, I take her to the nearby park. She runs joyfully on the grass and s 4 the flowers. It also makes me happy seeing her enjoying nature. Another place where Luna likes to relax is the small garden in our backyard. She likes to dig holes there. When she d 5 a hole, she hides in it. She becomes very happy when I find her in there. This is a game she often plays. Luna is very smart and energetic. I have never felt lonely or bored with her around. She is my beloved animal in this whole world. I look forward to creating many more happy memories with her! Not long ago, I started babysitting for the first time. I’m already 15 years old, so I thought taking care of three little girls under 7 would not be d 1 . After we all had dinner, the girls wanted to play hide-and-seek. 5-year-old Tina was the finder, so she sat in the bathroom and counted to 100 w 2 we hid. Jill, who was 7, hid under her parents’ bed. Cammie, the 2-year-old, was small and e 3 to hide. I found a good place for her under a huge pile of clothes in the living room. Then, I hid in the bedroom closet. It was a fun game. After that, we began to read a story. We had just read the first page when we realized something was wrong—Cammie was missing! We still hadn’t found her! We c 4 every corner of the house. I was f 5 . What if we couldn’t find Cammie? Her parents would be very w 6 . I probably wouldn’t get any money, and they might even call the police. Then I remembered the clothes pile and looked under it. Surprisingly, Cammie was still under there, sound asleep. Her face was pink, and she l 7 confused (迷惑不解的). “What were you doing under there, Cammie?” I asked, “We’ve been looking for you for 30 minutes!” Tina looked up at me with big, blue eyes. “Well,” she said, “I guess Cammie won that game of hide-and-seek!” AI Translation Device Connects the World at Paris Olympics The 2025 Summer Olympics in Paris was not only a festival of sports but also a showcase for practical new technology. Among the most talked-about gadgets (工具) were smart translation earbuds (耳塞式耳机). Visitors from f 1 countries found them extremely useful for daily conversations with locals, volunteers, and fellow spectators (观众). This small, wearable device uses advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to translate spoken conversations q 2 and accurately between two people. Many users believe that it made their entire trip much smoother and less stressful. With the carbuds, they could confidently ask for directions, o 3 food from local restaurants, and even make new friends from around the world—all without language barriers holding them back. Users praised the clear and natural sound. “The sound quality of the translated speech is surprisingly clear, almost like listening to a human interpreter,”said one tourist. A visitor from Japan added, “It feels like magic to hear French instantly become my own l 4 .” However, the technology is still developing. Reviews noted that the device is not perfect. It can sometimes make m 5 with very fast talk, strong special accents, or noisy backgrounds. Furthermore, it requires a stable Internet connection to work p 6 . The developing company has acknowledged these current problems and is already collecting data to i 7 the system’s accuracy and reliability for future global events. 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。 Brainstorming Brainstorming is a way to come up with new and smart ideas to solve difficult problems. It i 1 bringing together people with different views and backgrounds to share their ideas freely and build on ideas. Here are some key points to keep in mind when carrying out a brainstorming activity. First, the group should have a c 2 goal for the brainstorming activity. This will help guide the discussion and make sure that all ideas created are c 3 connected to the topic at hand. All members should be encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas freely. When looking at the q 4 of ideas from a brainstorming activity, group members had better consider how many there are and what they are about. While a large number of ideas can be beneficial, it is more important to focus on how well they fit with the group’s shared goal. Group members need to ask for more information about an idea. This can help the group to decide if an idea fits the goal. If an idea won’t work or doesn’t fully meet the needs, it’s important to recognize this and move on to other ideas that might work b 5 . Besides, it’s necessary to focus on coming up with new ideas, not going over old ones. Members should be encouraged to think c 6 and outside the box, and to avoid getting stuck in the details. The number of ideas is important too. While having many ideas doesn’t mean success by itself, it makes sure we think about all possible ideas. Everyone should try to think of as many ideas as they can, without w 7 if they will work right away.

The officials said they were moving forward with a citywide garbage-sorting plan. The plan won’t come into effect until July 1. However, Li Wei, along with the other 238 families who live in his neighbourhood, has been living with a similar system for years. Here, he’d like to talk about their e 1 . In October 2018, the government chose their neighbourhood to be part of a pilot (试点) program for garbage sorting. To help the program run s 2 , they set up a volunteer team. He is one of the volunteers. Several of them, however, doubted whether they could lead residents (居民) to change their habits. They began with the usual methods. They posted notices around the neighbourhood. They also went door to door, spreading the word. Nevertheless, residents made plenty of m 3 . For example, many didn’t know wet garbage referred to food waste. I 4 , they thought it meant garbage that was wet. Some even refused to sort their trash. As a result, the volunteers had to do a great deal of sorting themselves. Meanwhile, they went around to e 5 the rules. They kept talking to those who refused to sort their trash. It was a matter of time and patience. Their e 6 paid off. Six months later, all residents in the neighbourhood had begun sorting their trash. Some even joined them to sorting garbage that was sorted improperly. Personally, Li Wei thinks face-to-face talks played an i 7 role. Sometimes, these talks led to conflicts, but they were far more effective than notices and flyers. It will be interesting to see what happens on July 1. Everyone should learn the benefits of garbage sorting and take part in the plan. 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。 An Act of Kindness for a Broken Heart “Hi, Mommy, what are you doing?” asked Susie. “I’m m 1 a dish for Mrs. Smith next door,” said her mother. “Why?” asked Susie, who was only six years old. “Because Mrs. Smith is very sad; she lost her daughter and she has a broken heart. We need to take care of her for a little while.” “Why, Mommy?” “You see, Susie, when s 2 is very, very sad, they have trouble doing the little things like making dinner or other chores. Because Mrs. Smith is our neighbor, we need to do some things to help her. Mrs. Smith won’t ever be able to talk with her daughter or hug her. You are a very smart girl, Susie; maybe you’ll think of some way to help take care of Mrs. Smith.” Susie thought s 3 about this challenge. A few minutes later, Susie knocked on her door. After a few moments, Mrs. Smith answered the knock with a “Hi, Susie.” Susie noticed that Mrs. Smith didn’t have that familiar voice when she greeted someone. Mrs. Smith might have been crying b 4 her eyes were watery. “What can I do for you, Susie?” asked Mrs. Smith. “My mommy says that you lost your daughter and you’re very, very sad with a broken heart.” Susie held her h 5 out shyly. In it was a Band-Aid (邦迪创可贴). “This is for your broken heart.” Mrs. Smith took a breath, choking back her tears. She knelt down and hugged Susie. Through her tears, she said, “Thank you, darling girl, this will help a lot.” Mrs. Smith received Susie’s kindness and took it one step further. She bought a small key ring with a picture frame (相框). Mrs. Smith placed Susie’s Band-Aid i 6 the frame to remind herself to heal a little every time she saw it. She knows that h 7 takes time and support. It has become her symbol of healing while not forgetting the joy and love she experienced with her daughter. What do you do with the money you have? Is spending the only thing you can do with it? In the US, teenagers spend lots of money online, where is convenient for them to spend their money, especially for entertainment. Actually, spending is not the only thing you can do with your money. Putting money into savings is even more i 1 . Here is some advice for you. First, you can plan a 2 by making a budget. A budget is a plan for your income, spending, and savings. It can help you decide how to use your money to balance your needs and wants, both now and in the future. A need is something you must have in order to live. A want is something you want to have, but you can live w 3 it. What if you want to make a budget to save for a bicycle that will cost $100? Let’s s 4 that your income adds up to $10 each week. If you save all your $10 each week, you can buy the bicycle 10 weeks later. You may save $5 each week and spend $5 each week. It would take l 5 time to buy the bicycle. It’s up to you. In addition, you should make smart c 6 . If you have more needs and wants than your income, you will be unable to pay for e 7 . You can find ways to save more money or spend less. Instead of spending more money by going to the movies, a family can spend less money by watching a movie at home. Saving money is a necessary way to plan for future. Make a budget and start saving for your future! How well do you know yourself? We often hear of people traveling to far-off places, with a few even making it to space. But the greatest journey is the one within yourself—the journey of self-discovery. Understanding who you are and what you want from life is key to living a satisfying life. Without self-awareness, it’s easy to feel 1 1 or confused. You might feel unsure about your goals. Gaining a better understanding of your true self can lead to greater confidence and peace. So, how can you begin your journey of self-discovery? Here are five things you can do: ● Know what you value about yourself Think about what you are proud of. Do you value your creativity, kindness, or sports skills? Recognizing these strengths helps you understand your values and a 2 . ● Know what excites you What makes you feel happy or enthusiastic? Whether it’s performing on stage, solving a problem, or working on a science project, discovering what excites you shows what brings you joy. ●S 3 out of your comfort zone (地带) Staying in familiar places feels safe, but growth happens when we face challenges. Trying new things, like rock climbing or talking to someone new, helps you learn about your reactions and thoughts. This leads to your p 4 growth—whether it’s becoming more confident, or discovering hidden strengths you didn’t know you had. ●Travel Visiting new places can teach you a lot about yourself. When you experience a d 5 culture, you are made to rethink your beliefs and ideas. This can show you who you are or want to be. ● Ask yourself who you want to be Think about your a 6 . What kind of person you want to become? Regular self-reflection (自我反省) helps you understand your desires and leads to self-awareness. The journey of self-discovery will n 7 stop. As you experience life’s challenges, you grow and change. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期末复习之短文首字母填空15篇 （期末考试热点话题） 本资料共15篇专题训练，从上到下按照难度分层训练 题号 难度 知识点 1 较难 工作与职业,记叙文,愿望 2 适中 科普知识,说明文,科学技术 3 较难 历史人物,记叙文 4 适中 说明文,方法/策略 5 较易 说明文,科学技术 6 适中 说明文,颜色 7 较难 说明文,语言与文化 8 较易 记叙文,宠物,常见动物 9 适中 记叙文,个人经历 10 适中 说明文,科学技术 11 困难 说明文,方法/策略 12 适中 环境保护,志愿服务 13 较易 叙事忆旧 14 较难 货币及理财,意见/建议,青少年问题 15 适中 方法/策略 When I was a little kid, my grandma often told me I would be a manager in the future.

Inside his own tent, Zhuge Liang, the top advisor for Liu Bei, watched and thought. He didn’t want to join this fight. In his mind, a clever plan was better than a strong army. One of his ways was to t 2 the enemy—something beyond direct attack. Knowing Cao Ren would soon have to pull back, he called his trusted general, Zhao Yun. He gave him a stolen token (令牌) and a simple o 3 : “Take your men. Wear the enemy’s clothes. Go to the city gate and make them let you in.” As evening fell, Zhao Yun’s soldiers walked toward the gates of Jingzhou. “Open the gate!” Zhao Yun shouted to the guards above, showing the token. “We are coming back from the battle! Let us in!” The guards saw the familiar soldier suits. Without a second thought, they opened the gate, which had been s 4 locked. It was the moment Zhuge Liang had planned for. The moment the gate was open, Zhao Yun and his men sprang into action. They m 5 to defeat the shocked guards very quickly, taking control of the city. From the darkness, Liu Bei’s main army appeared and poured silently into the heart of the city. The action turned out to be a complete s 6 . Afterwards, when Zhou Yu arrived expecting a welcome, he looked up at the walls and saw Liu Bei’s flags. He r 7 to believe that Jingzhou was lost. Zhuge Liang had not broken the walls by fighting, but had captured the city through a brilliant idea. 【答案】1．fought/ought  2．trick/rick 3．order/rder 4．securely/ecurely 5．managed/anaged  6．success/uccess 7．refused/efused 【导语】本文讲述了赤壁之战后，诸葛亮用计谋帮助刘备占领荆州的故事，展现了诸葛亮足智多谋、不费一兵一卒就取得胜利的智慧。 1．句意：他在坚固的城墙外与守城士兵的将领曹仁激烈交战。根据“fiercely with General Cao Ren, the leader of the city’s soldiers, outside its strong walls”及首字母可知，此处描述的是周瑜和曹仁在城墙外交战，“fight with sb.”表示“与某人交战”，且根据上下文可知，故事发生在过去，用一般过去时，动词fight的过去式是fought。故填fought。 2．句意：他的方法之一就是欺骗敌人——一种超越直接攻击的手段。根据“something beyond direct attack”以及后文诸葛亮用计谋占领荆州可知，此处说的是诸葛亮欺骗敌人的方法，“trick”表示“欺骗；诡计”，符合语境，且“to”后接动词原形。故填trick。 3．句意：他给了他一个偷来的令牌和一个简单的命令：“带上你的人马。穿上敌人的衣服。到城门口，让他们放你们进去。”根据“Take your men.

And now—whether for better or for worse—it is making its way into children’s schools. Cottesmore School, a famous school in the United Kingdom, has taken things a step f 1 . It has become the first school in the world to appoint (任命) an AI robot as its principal head teacher. The robot even has a name: Abigail Bailey. Created in partnership with an AI developer, Abigail was designed to perform v 2 school leadership tasks. Much like ChatGPT, the online AI language model developed by OpenAI, Abigail relies on knowledge of machine learning and educational management to do her job. So far, Abigail has already helped head teacher Tom Rogerson with many duties. Rogerson hopes she will be able to support teachers in the classroom, a 3 pupils with learning difficulties, and even help make school rules. “We are stepping into the future while keeping the key values of t 4 education,” he explained. The robot has also made herself known on the school’s w 5 , where parents usually go online to check updates, news, and notices. There, she introduces herself as the new principal head teacher and outlines her future plans. B 6 , pupils at Cottesmore have each been given their own personalized AI robots to support their own learning styles. Calling AI a “world-changing technology”, Rogerson stressed the importance of preparing pupils to work together with it. Still, he made one thing clear. AI is not here to r 7 teachers. The use of AI in classrooms has been the subject of heated debate in recent years. Yet for now, it seems that more schools are beginning to welcome the technology with open arms. 【答案】1．further/urther 2．various/arious 3．assist/ssist 4．traditional/raditional 5．website/ebsite 6．Besides/esides 7．replace/eplace 【导语】本文主要介绍了人工智能进入校园的趋势，以英国科茨莫尔学校任命AI机器人担任校长为例，说明了 AI 在学校管理、教学支持中的应用及相关理念。 1．句意：英国著名的科茨莫尔学校已经向前迈出了一步。 根据前文“it is making its way into children’s schools”以及后文“It has become the first school in the world to appoint (任命) an AI robot as its principal head teacher.”可知，这所学校采取了更深入的行动；结合首字母提示，further“更远的”，take things a step further“把事情向前推进一步”，符合语境。故填further。 2．句意：阿比盖尔是与一位人工智能开发者合作创建的，旨在执行各种学校领导任务。根据“…school leadership tasks”可知，此处是描述任务的范围；结合首字母提示，various“各种各样的”，能体现任务的多样性，符合语境。故填various。 3．句意：罗杰森希望她能在课堂上支持教师、帮助有学习困难的学生，甚至协助制定校规。根据“Rogerson hopes she will be able to support teachers in the classroom…pupils with learning difficulties”可知，此处是与“支持教师”并列的动作；结合首字母提示，assist“协助、帮助”，符合语境。故填assist。 4．句意：“我们在迈向未来的同时，也坚守着传统教育的核心价值。”他解释道。根据“the key values of …education”可知，此处应填入形容词；结合前文“stepping into the future”以及转折连词“while”可知，此处是指在推进教育创新的同时，不能舍弃与“未来”相对的、长期传承的教育价值；结合首字母提示，traditional“传统的”，符合语境。故填traditional。 5．句意：这个机器人也在学校的网站上让大家认识了自己，家长们通常会在网站上查看更新、新闻和通知。根据“where parents usually go online to check updates, news, and notices.”可知，此处需要填入一个可供家长线上浏览信息的载体；结合首字母提示，website“网站”，符合语境。故填website。 6．句意：此外，科茨莫尔学校还为每位学生配备了专属的个性化人工智能机器人，以适配他们各自的学习风格。根据前文介绍AI校长，此处拓展到学生的AI机器人，表递进关系；结合首字母提示，Besides“此外”，符合语境。故填Besides。 7．句意：AI并不是来取代教师的。根据前文“Rogerson stressed the importance of preparing pupils to work together with it.

The “Cosmic Orange” color of the Pro model has caught people’s attention. This color is different from more c 1 ones like white and black. Colors are more than just visual (视觉的) effects. According to the American Marketing Association, bright colors can make a product seem better, even if the color doesn’t a 2 change how the product works. Why is this? According to an article from the University of Leeds, when light enters our eyes, s 3 cells at the back of our eyes react to different colors and send signals to the brain. Most signals go to the visual cortex (视觉皮层), where we see pictures. But some are sent to another part of the brain called the hypothalamus (下丘脑). This part controls things in our body, such as temperature and m 4 . So, this means colors can change how our bodies feel. For example, blue light can make our blood flow and heartbeat slow down. It can also lower our blood p 5 and help us relax, according to the University of Derby in the UK. Orange, on the other hand, wakes up our senses, making it great for catching attention. However, n 6 color has been shown to increase sales more than others, said researchers at the University of Southern California in the US. Still, successful brands often use colors to create their images. For example, Coca-Cola uses red because it i 7 heart rate and improves appetite (食欲). 【答案】1．common/ommon 2．actually/ctually 3．special/pecial 4．mood/ood 5．pressure/ressure 6．no/o 7．increases/ncreases 【导语】本文介绍了苹果公司新发布的iPhone 17“宇宙橙”配色引发关注，并探讨了颜色如何通过影响大脑和身体感受来塑造人们对产品的认知，以及品牌如何利用色彩传递形象。 1．句意：这种颜色不同于更常见的白色和黑色。根据“like white and black”结合常识可知白色和黑色是常见的，再由首字母c可知用common表示“常见的”，形容词作定语，故填common。 2．句意：鲜艳的颜色能让产品看起来更好，即使颜色实际上并不改变产品的功能。根据“the color doesn’t a... change how the product works”结合常识可知颜色实际上并不改变产品的功能，再由首字母a可知用actually表示“实际上”，修饰动词change，故填actually。 3．句意：根据利兹大学的一篇文章，当光线进入我们的眼睛时，我们眼睛后部的特殊细胞会对不同的颜色做出反应，并向大脑发送信号。根据“s... cells at the back of our eyes react to different colors”可知此处表示眼睛后部的特殊细胞，结合首字母s可知用special表示“特殊的”，故填special。 4．句意：下丘脑控制我们体内的一些功能，如体温和情绪。根据“So, this means colors can change how our bodies feel.”及“help us relax”可推出能控制我们的情绪，结合首字母m可知用mood表示“情绪”，与temperature并列，属于下丘脑调节的生理或心理状态，故填mood。 5．句意：蓝色光可以降低我们的血压并帮助放松。blood pressure“血压”，是固定搭配，故填pressure。 6．句意：然而，没有一种颜色被证明比其他颜色更能促进销售。根据“However”可知句意出现转折，由此推出没有一种颜色被证明比其他颜色更能促进销售，no color表示“没有任何一种颜色”，故填no。 7．句意：例如，可口可乐使用红色，因为它能提高心率并增进食欲。根据“it i... heart rate”可推出红色提高心率，结合首字母i可知用increase表示“提高”，主语it为第三人称单数，动词需用第三人称单数形式，故填increases。 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。 Have you ever watched a tennis game broadcast in English? If you have, then you probably have noticed that the score “40-0” is read as “Forty to love” instead of “Forty to zero”. If n 1 side scores a point (that is, 0-0), then the score will be “Love-all”. So how did “love” become a word for “zero” in tennis? Most people believe this expression comes from French. It is said that the French use the word “l’oeuf” (it means “the egg”) to mean a score of zero. This is s 2 to calling a score of zero “a duck’s egg” in British English. When tennis was i 3 into England from France, Englishmen also called a score of zero “l’oeuf”. However, some tennis fans didn’t know French. They mispronounced the French word as the English word “love” (the two words are c 4 in pronunciation). Over time, “love” ended up with a new meaning: a score of zero. This is the most popular explanation for the term’s origin (起源). Unluckily, researchers haven’t yet found p 5 that the French people ever used the word “l’oeuf” to mean “zero.” According to their studies, the French always call the number “zero”. Another explanation has been more widely a 6 among some researchers. It says this usage came from the expression “to play for love”. Players who fail to score any points don’t care. They play for their love of the game, not just for a w 7 to win. The researchers have found written records supporting this explanation. But most of the records are about card games, rather than tennis. So far, nobody knows for sure how “love” came to mean “zero” in tennis. More studies are needed to solve this puzzle. 【答案】1．neither/either 2．similar/imilar 3．introduced/ntroduced 4．close/lose 5．proof/roof 6．accepted/ccepted 7．wish/ish 【导语】本文探讨了网球比赛中“love”表示“零分”的起源，并介绍了两种主流解释及其证据情况。 1．句意：如果双方都没有得分（即0-0），那么比分就是“Love-all”。根据“0-0”及首字母可知，是双方都没有得分，此处表示“两者都不”，应该使用neither，故填neither。 2．句意：这与英式英语中把零分称作“鸭蛋”是相似的。根据“‘l’oeuf’ (it means ‘the egg’) to mean a score of zero”及首字母可知，与英语中把零分称作“鸭蛋”相似，用similar表示“相似的”，故填similar。 3．句意：当网球从法国传入英国时，英国人也把零分称为“l’oeuf”。根据“When tennis was i...into England from France”及首字母提示可知，网球从法国传入英国，“be introduced into...”表示“被引入……”，此处为一般过去时的被动语态，故填introduced。 4．句意：他们把法语词误读成英语单词“love”（这两个词在发音上很接近）。根据“They mispronounced the French word as the English word ‘love’”及首字母提示可知，会被误读是因为发音很接近，close表示“接近的”，故填close。 5．句意：不幸的是，研究人员尚未找到证据证明法国人曾用“l’oeuf”表示“零”。根据“According to their studies, the French always call the number ‘zero’”可知，研究证明法国人总是把这个数称作“zero”，由此可知是没找到法国人曾用“l’oeuf”表示“零”的证据，结合首字母p可知，proof表示“证据”，为不可数名词，故填proof。 6．句意：另一种解释在一些研究者中被更广泛地接受。根据“The researchers have found written records supporting this explanation.”可知这种解释被广泛接受，结合首字母a可知，accept表示“接受”，此处是现在完成时的被动语态，用过去分词accepted，故填accepted。 7．句意：他们打球是出于对这项运动的热爱，而不仅仅是为了赢的愿望。根据“not just for a w...to win”可知，是赢的愿望，结合首字母w可知，wish表示“愿望”，a后用单数，故填wish。 Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入恰当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给) My Pet Rabbit Hello, everyone!

Her face was pink, and she l 7 confused (迷惑不解的). “What were you doing under there, Cammie?” I asked, “We’ve been looking for you for 30 minutes!” Tina looked up at me with big, blue eyes. “Well,” she said, “I guess Cammie won that game of hide-and-seek!” 【答案】1．difficult/ifficult 2．while/hile 3．easy/asy 4．checked/hecked 5．frightened/rightened 6．worried/orried 7．looked/ooked 【导语】本文讲述了作者第一次当保姆照顾三个小女孩时发生的有趣故事。 1．句意：我已经15岁了，所以我认为照顾三个7岁以下的小女孩不会很难。根据“I’m already 15 years old”及首字母可知，是指作者认为自己照顾三个7岁以下的小女孩不会很难，用形容词difficult“困难的”，作表语。故填difficult。 2．句意：5岁的Tina是寻找者，所以在我们躲起来时，她坐在浴室里数到100。此处是“she sat in the bathroom and counted to 100 w... we hid.”可知，是指当我们躲起来时，Tina在浴室数到100，用while“当……时”，引导时间状语从句。故填while。 3．句意：2岁的Cammie很小，很容易躲藏。根据“the 2-year-old”及首字母可知，Cammie很小，很容易躲藏，用形容词easy“容易的”，作表语。故填easy。 4．句意：我们检查了房子的每一个角落。根据“every corner of the house”及首字母可知，是指检查了房子的每个角落，check“检查”，此处描述过去的事情，用一般过去时。故填checked。 5．句意：我很害怕。根据“What if we couldn’t find Cammie?”可知，作者当时是害怕的，用形容词frightened“害怕的”，作表语。故填frightened。 6．句意：她的父母会非常担心。根据“What if we couldn’t find Cammie?”可知，找不到Cammie，她的父母会担心，用形容词worried“担心的”，作表语，故填worried。 7．句意：她的脸是粉红色的，她看起来很困惑。根据“confused”及首字母可知，是指Cammie看起来很困惑，look“看起来”，根据“was”可知，时态是一般过去时。故填looked。 AI Translation Device Connects the World at Paris Olympics The 2025 Summer Olympics in Paris was not only a festival of sports but also a showcase for practical new technology. Among the most talked-about gadgets (工具) were smart translation earbuds (耳塞式耳机). Visitors from f 1 countries found them extremely useful for daily conversations with locals, volunteers, and fellow spectators (观众). This small, wearable device uses advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to translate spoken conversations q 2 and accurately between two people. Many users believe that it made their entire trip much smoother and less stressful. With the carbuds, they could confidently ask for directions, o 3 food from local restaurants, and even make new friends from around the world—all without language barriers holding them back. Users praised the clear and natural sound. “The sound quality of the translated speech is surprisingly clear, almost like listening to a human interpreter,”said one tourist.

In October 2018, the government chose their neighbourhood to be part of a pilot (试点) program for garbage sorting. To help the program run s 2 , they set up a volunteer team.

For example, many didn’t know wet garbage referred to food waste. I 4 , they thought it meant garbage that was wet. Some even refused to sort their trash. As a result, the volunteers had to do a great deal of sorting themselves. Meanwhile, they went around to e 5 the rules. They kept talking to those who refused to sort their trash.
