This man-made waterway— known in China as Da Yunhe— is 1,700 kilometres long and some parts of it are more than 2,000 years old. It 1 the north of China with Hangzhou, a city in the southern part of the country. It’s the longest man-made waterway in the world. It was built as a 2 to transport grain (运输粮食) from the rich agricultural (农业的) land in China’s south to cities in the north. In fact, it’s not one canal, but a system (系统) of canals and rivers linked 3 . It’s still an important part of the transport system in China. Thousands of boats use it every day to transport grain and many other types of cargo (货物). Now the Chinese government is doing new work on the Grand Canal. It is making parts of it 4 , so bigger ships can use it. The canal will also help to move water. There is a lot of 5 in the south of China, but not as much in the north. The canal will carry millions of litres of water from the south to the north. The Grand Canal is much 6 than the Great Wall, and not very many tourists visit it. But it’s possible to go on a cruise (乘船游览) along some of the oldest parts of the canal. Passengers on these cruises see beautiful parts of China that other visitors don’t see. 1．A．causes B．connects C．creates D．communicates 2．A．result B．trick C．way D．example 3．A．together B．instead C．along D．forward 4．A．cleaner B．prettier C．longer D．deeper 5．A．food B．population C．rain D．electricity 6．A．smaller B．narrower C．less modern D．less famous 完形填空（阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每小题A、B、C三个选项中选择最佳答案， 使短文意思完整。请将答案标号涂卡。） Sometimes, kids think their parents are unfair to them. You want to dress in a modern way, but your mom doesn’t like it when you wear a mini-skirt. 1 you are making phone calls, they ask if you’re speaking to a boy or a girl. Sometimes it seems that you’re not as close to your parents as you used to be. You might even argue with them because of some 2 things. How can you avoid (避免) such a situation that badly influences (影响) your relationship? Closing the Gap by the American author Jay McGraw gives advice on how to have a better relationship with your parents. Both parents and children have needs. They need to feel they are important and loved. You should tell your parents your needs, and 3 what their needs are. To let your parents know what you’re doing and what you want to do, you could talk about your school life now and your 4 for the future. It helps your parents know more about you. Maybe you can think of a way to make all of you happy. The book gives ways to help teens 5 their parents. When you think “my parents don’t want me to have any fun”, it usually means your parents want you to be 6 . The book gives you lots of ideas, such as talking with parents in spare time, keeping a diary and showing your parents you are growing up. If you follow these steps, you will be able to make your home a happier place. 1．A．Unless B．Although C．When 2．A．small B．interesting C．warm 3．A．find out B．bring out C．give out 4．A．dreams B．licenses C．poems 5．A．refuse B．forget C．understand 6．A．safe B．happy C．dangerous Genius kids often have in-depth knowledge in a certain area. Every parent hopes his or her child is special. But how can you tell if your little one is more than just 1 ? The following are some signs to look out for. ●Great language skills One of the first signs often shows up very early. The language skills of gifted children may be far ahead of their age. Many 2 a rich vocabulary (词汇量) and start speaking in long sentences at an early age. ●Love for reading Genius kids often pick up reading early, sometimes long before other children their age, and they read simply for 3 . If your child is working through book after book, he or she may well be a genius! ●Curiosity about the world Smart kids are interested in the world around them, but real geniuses are extremely curious about how everything works. Gifted children may shower their parents with “Why?” questions all day long, so their parents must have good 4 ! ● 5 knowledge of a favorite topic Genius kids can tell you the name of every dinosaur or explain how a car engine works. As Science Daily puts it, “A genius kid is someone who, by the age of about 11, understands a field almost like an adult.” ●Leadership skills Many geniuses grow into leaders. Gifted children often take charge, solve problems creatively and guide others with confidence. They aren’t afraid to lead a team 6 they have a clear sense of direction and trust their own judgment. 1．A．smart B．strong C．healthy D．pretty 2．A．spread B．appreciate C．develop D．invent 3．A．examination B．fun C．record D．honor 4．A．luck B．taste C．patience D．health 5．A．Limited B．Detailed C．Basic D．Traditional 6．A．unless B．but C．though D．as Years ago, the only way to get news from around the world was through newspapers. They were printed on big sheets of paper and brought to homes early in the morning or sold in shops. But now, the way we read news is very different because of technology. These days, it’s more 1 to read news on digital devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops. The change from paper to screens has happened for many reasons. First, the Internet lets us get news 2 . Instead of waiting for the morning paper, digital news is always there and keeps getting updated all the time. This means we can know about new events as they happen.    Another big change is how easy it is to get digital news. You can read news 3 , like on a bus, in a line, or at home. This convenience has made digital news very popular. Digital news sites also have things like videos, links, and pictures that make news more interesting. 4 , this new way of reading news has its problems. Screen pop-ups and digital advertisements can make it hard for us to focus. Despite these problems, more and more people are reading news digitally. This shows a big change in how we get information and 5 with the world. As technology gets better, we’ll probably see even newer ways to share and read news. It’s important to teach young readers how to use digital news in a good way. Knowing how to find trustworthy news and stay 6 among distractions (the things that take your attention away from what you’re trying to do or think about) are key skills today. Moving from paper to digital news isn’t just about using new tech. It’s about how we use information in our lives every day, showing how the way we get news is always changing. 1．A．classical B．common C．special D．never-ending 2．A．immediately B．possibly C．daily D．hardly 3．A．nowhere B．somewhere C．anywhere D．everywhere 4．A．However B．As a result C．In fact D．Besides 5．A．conclude B．complain C．consider D．connect 6．A．focused B．worried C．surprised D．relaxed The last few decades have seen the government’s powerful steps to make compulsory education (义务教育) accessible to every child in our country. 1 the beginning of the 1980s, however, the situation was totally different. Many children in poor and rural areas had no chance 2 to school. Some families couldn’t afford basic school supplies like textbooks and pens, and there were only a few simple schools with 3 teachers. The 4 part was that countless kids had to stay at home to help with farm work or other jobs. Over time, the government started to pay close attention to this problem. It built new schools in remote villages, offered free textbooks and meals to students from low-income families, and organized training programs for rural teachers. These efforts resulted 5 a big improvement in the education situation. 6 a few areas still need more support, more and more children now enjoy the right to study. We should be thankful for the government’s hard work that has changed so many young lives. 1．A．At B．From C．In 2．A．going B．gone C．to go 3．A．limiting B．limited C．to limit 4．A．bad B．worse C．worst 5．A．from B．in C．over 6．A．Although B．Because C．Since Have you ever wanted to send a message to your future self? Or let people 50 years from now know what your life is like today? There’s a fun way to do this—it’s called a “time capsule”! People often 1 small groups of things or information and put them in a safe place. One of the earliest time capsules was the Detroit (底特律) Century Box. On December 31, 1900, the city put several photos and letters in a box. The box wasn’t opened 2 people took it out on December 31, 2000. The things inside the capsule gave us a look at Detroit in the past. There were photos of people and places, as well as letters written by local people. Some of them also made 3 predictions for the future. For example, one person predicted that Detroit would have a population of 4 million by 2000. But 4 , the population of the city was 951,000 that year. Humans have 5 sent time capsules into space! The US sent two capsules into space on the Voyager spacecraft in 1977. They’re called the Voyager Golden Records. They contain 6 and pictures that show human life and culture. For example, they have music by classical musician Beethoven and pictures of plants, insects and landscapes. The Voyager spacecraft has traveled far away from our solar system. It is hoped that aliens (外星人) might find the time capsules someday and learn about humans. 1．A．display B．collect C．send D．hide 2．A．until B．when C．after D．since 3．A．rare B．ordinary C．surprising D．right 4．A．in fact B．at first C．in total D．at last 5．A．never B．even C．hardly D．seldom 6．A．letters B．movies C．books D．sounds A Wonderful World of P’s and J’s Are you more of a ‘P’ person or a ‘J’ person? You might be wondering what I’m talking about. These two labels come from the popular Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test. The test produces a four-letter result. The last letter is either ‘P’ for ‘Perceiving’ (感知) or ‘J’ for ‘Judging’ (判断). It sorts people into two camps 1 how they prefer to organize their outside world. Many friends describe me as a classic ‘Judging’ type. I am, after all, keen on making plans. For example, I even time my walk from the office to the nearest metro station and record when trains usually arrive. On most days, a train arrives just as I hit the platform (月台), and this brings me a great deal of 2 . I appreciate (欣赏) those who share my preference for planning, but I’ve also met many ‘Perceiving’ types. Years ago, I went to climb Mount Hua in Shaanxi with some friends. As a ‘Judging’ person, I planned carefully. I thought about what to do if it rained. What if there were no snacks to eat and what if my phone and camera ran out (电量耗尽) quickly? I 3 packing my backpack with ten bottles of water, plenty of mini-bread, five raincoats and as many as three power banks. On the day of the hike, two of my friends appeared, to my surprise, 4 . Halfway through the journey, they got thirsty and hungry and had to rely on me for food and water. “Thanks, mate, you’re a life saver,” one of them said between bites of my mini-bread. Working and traveling with people of different personality types can be difficult at times. However, I have to admit that those with a ‘P’ on their MBTI test are not without advantages. They are often more creative and resourceful (善于随机应变的). While I would often get 5 when things don’t go according to plan, these people are usually cool as cucumbers (冷静自若). And just imagine a world where everyone fell neatly into either the ‘Judging’ or ‘Perceiving’ camp. 6 truly is the spice (趣味) of life. The mix of personalities certainly adds to it. 1．A．famous for B．based on C．made up of D．proud of 2．A．time B．money C．happiness D．sadness 3．A．ended up B．got tired of C．looked forward to D．took up 4．A．kind-hearted B．well-dressed C．empty-handed D．middle-aged 5．A．worried B．pleased C．excited D．bored 6．A．Passion B．Fashion C．Difference D．Friendship Water is essential for life, but many countries are facing serious water shortages. Governments and citizens must work together to 1 this valuable resource. Different nations have adopted (采用) different ways to save water. In Israel, a country with limited natural water, about 90% of wastewater is 2 and reused for agriculture. Australians, who 3 a terrible drought (干旱), now use rainwater tanks to collect and store water for daily needs. Meanwhile, Singapore has built technology to turn seawater into drinkable water, reducing pressure on imported water. Even small habits can make a big difference. For example, turning off the tap while brushing teeth can save up to 6 liters of water per minute. Fixing leaky pipes immediately prevents 4 water waste. Some cities, like Tokyo, have reduced water loss by changing old pipes and promoting water-saving appliances. However, in some regions, water is still wasted due to carelessness or outdated machines. 5 plays a key role in changing people’s attitude (态度) towards water use. By teaching about the global to save water, it helps turn awareness into daily habits. Every drop counts, and every effort 6 . Let’s take action right away. Saving water isn’t just a national issue — it’s a global responsibility! 1．A．waste B．protect C．invent D．pollute 2．A．reduced B．buried C．cleaned D．forgotten 3．A．presented B．suffered C．expected D．experienced 4．A．unnecessary B．useful C．important D．fresh 5．A．Learner B．Information C．Education D．Training 6．A．fails B．matters C．disappears D．confuses 二、押题预测 Choose the words and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词，完成短文) It was I am on Sunday 2 September, 1666. The city was sleeping. In a small bakery, Thomas and his workers were busily making bread when, suddenly, a fire broke out. Just four days later, thousands of houses had been destroyed and countless people were homeless. How did this happen? And why was the 1 so huge? For a fire to start, three things are needed: a spark, fuel and air. In the bakery, a worker didn’t watch the ovens attentively. They got too hot and the burning pieces began to fly. The weather was extremely hot. It hadn’t rained for months. And winter was coming, people had 2 lots of food and oil. Houses were full of wood, coal and other winter supplies. A strong wind was blowing from the east. The situation provided the perfect conditions for fire to spread quickly. What followed was one big 3 . The fire spread quickly, but it was also extremely difficult to fight. It started in a poor area of the city, where houses were very 4 each other. Tens of thousands of people were living in very small space. As the fire struck, people were horrified. Some broke down the doors to get out of their homes. All people were trying to escape from the city. But fire or fallen things 5 the streets. People had no way out. The fire had been going on for almost four days when the Duke of York put a plan into action. His soldiers broke down a paper mill to rob the fire of more fuel. At about this time, the wind also changed direction, driving the fire back into itself. At last, the fire was finished. Although surprisingly few people lost their 6 , at least 13,000 houses 80 per cent of the city’s buildings had been destroyed. Thousands of people had become homeless and had lost everything they owned. Gradually, houses were rebuilt in the ruins, but this took several years. Many Londoners moved away from their city and never returned. 1．A．cause B．damage C．difference D．crowd 2．A．used B．wasted C．stored D．sold 3．A．mistake B．change C．disaster D．decision 4．A．close to B．different from C．covered with D．made up of 5．A．swept B．blocked C．cleared D．broke 6．A．way B．jobs C．trust D．lives Some authors seemed to have a crystal ball (水晶球). Their books predicted the future with amazing accuracy. Here are three striking 1 .THE WRECK OF THE TITAN by Morgan Robertson THE PREDICTION This is a story about the Titan, a giant passenger ship. Everyone says it’s “unsinkable.” But one night in April, disaster strikes. The ship hits an iceberg (冰山) and sinks into the freezing Atlantic Ocean. It gets 2 — there aren’t enough lifeboats (救生船). Thousands of people die in the accident. REAL LIFE Does the Titan remind you of the Titanic? On April 10, 1912, the Titanic set sail from England. Everyone thought it was “unsinkable.” But just four days later, it struck an iceberg and sank. And just like in Robertson’s novel, there weren’t enough 3 . In the end, more than 1,500 people went down with the ship into the Atlantic’s icy depths. THE MACHINE STOPS by E.M. Forster THE PREDICTION In this short story, people live underground. Thanks to the large Machine, everything can be done from home. People become 4 to meet each other in person because they rarely leave their rooms. REAL LIFE Does this world sound familiar? Yes, The Machine Stops predicted life in the internet age. But the book came out in 1909. Television hadn’t been invented yet, and computers and smartphones weren’t even a 5 ! THE FOUNDATION SERIES by Isaac Asimov THE PREDICTION This sci-fi series was published in the early 1950s. Asimov invented a science called “psychohistory.” Researchers use societal trends and mathematics to accurately predict future events.

At first, things didn’t go well because a few group members were self-important and wouldn’t cooperate 2 others. They often ignored others’ ideas, which disappointed everyone in the group. 3 we didn’t want to give up, we had a heart-to-heart talk and decided 4 to each other carefully. Off-stage, we divided tasks clearly: some did research, some made models, and others prepared the presentation. We double-checked every detail to make sure there were no mistakes. On the fair day, our project impressed the judges deeply, 5 we won a narrow victory against the neighboring class—it was our class’s third award in a row!

What will you do? Long ago, people used 1 things after using the toilet. For example, the Romans used a sponge (海绵) on a stick in salt water. Can you imagine this? It might feel like a 2 today. It is said that the earliest recorded toilet paper dates back to ancient China, and in 1391, the Ming emperor used large sheets with flowers’ smell. Later, people reused old newspapers 3 printing became more common. In 1857, Joseph Gayetty sold flat paper in the U.S., but people didn’t like it. The toilet paper 4 truly started in 1897 when the Scott brothers sold toilet paper in rolls. In 1942, during World War Ⅱ, an English company 5 two-layer paper—soft and strong. Decades later, colorful paper with nice smells came into being, along with some fun paper. 6 cleaning, the fun paper had puzzles or even novels printed on it (like in Japan)!

The story of penicillin (青霉素) is one such example. This life-saving 1 was discovered through a lucky accident by a scientist named Alexander Fleming. In September 1928, Fleming was working in his laboratory in London. He was studying staphylococcus bacteria (葡萄球菌)，which can cause serious 2 in people. They felt weak. Before leaving for a vacation, he left some polluted dishes with bacteria in his lab by chance. When he returned, he noticed something 3 . A blue-green mold (青绿霉菌) had grown on one dish, and around it was a clear circle where all the bacteria had died. Instead of throwing away the polluted dish, Fleming became very 4 . He thought the blue-green mold might produce something that could kill bacteria. He decided to test this idea by doing more experiments. He found that the mold juice was indeed very effective at 5 harmful bacteria. He named this amazing mold “penicillin”. What made penicillin so special was that it could kill bacteria without harming human cells. This meant it could be used safely to treat sick people. Fleming’s discovery opened a new chapter in medicine-the age of antibiotics (抗生素). It completely changed how doctors treat bacteria and has 6 countless lives around the world. This wonderful story teaches us that in science, keeping an open mind and being curious can sometimes lead to amazing discoveries that change the world. 1．A．food B．medicine C．drink D．plant 2．A．illness B．challenges C．accidents D．disasters 3．A．usual B．strange C．wrong D．missing 4．A．angry B．curious C．tired D．worried 5．A．helping B．growing C．destroying D．finding 6．A．saved B．supported C．lost D．taken Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短文) Picture this: You wake up in the morning. A soft light turns on in your room. You go into the bathroom and the shower starts. The 1 is the perfect temperature. After your shower, you go into the kitchen. Your favourite breakfast is already cooked. Now it’s time to go to work. It’s a rainy day. You live 2 , but you find that your umbrella and hat are already by the door. How is all this possible? Welcome to your future life! APPLIANCES THAT TALK Technology will allow homes in the future to be “smart”. Appliances will 3 each other and with you. Your stove will tell you when your food is cooked and ready to eat. Fridges will suggest the menu and recipes based on food items you already have. HOUSES THAT THINK Are you tired of the 4 or pattern of your walls? In a smart home, you won’t have to repaint them. The walls will actually be digital screens, like computer or TV screens. A computer network will link these walls with everything else in your house. This technology controls your entire house. Your house can learn about your likes and dislikes. It will then use that knowledge to control the environment. 5 , it will set the heat in the house to your favourite temperature. It will turn on the shower at the right heat. It will also darken the windows at night and lighten them when it’s time to wake up. ROBOTS THAT 6 But how about your cooked breakfast, and the umbrella and hat you found by the door? For those, you can thank your robot helper. Scientists today are starting to build friendlier, more intelligent robots. Sociable robots will be able to show feelings with their faces, just like humans. They will smile, frown and make eye contact. These robots will do work around the house. Hopefully they will even take care of children and the elderly. How soon will this smart home be a reality? There’s a good chance it will be a part of your life in the next 10 years, perhaps sooner. 1．A．body B．weather C．food D．water 2．A．excitedly B．alone C．happily D．quietly 3．A．play with B．deal with C．get along with D．communicate with 4．A．size B．colour C．height D．heating 5．A．For example B．What’s more C．After all D．In short 6．A．HELP B．SPEAK C．FEEL D．FLY The Memory Thief Max hated studying more than anything. Every time he opened his history textbook, the words seemed to swim before his eyes. “Why can’t learning be as 1 as downloading (下载) an app?” he complained, throwing the book onto his bed. Late that night, while scrolling through his phone, a blue advertisement suddenly appeared. “All knowledge learned in seconds. Free 24-hour trial!” Before he could think twice, Max’s finger pressed “ 2 ”. His hand felt funny. Suddenly, a silver chip (芯片) was there. Following the instructions on the screen, Max put the chip to the side of his neck. There was a sharp ZZZT! And suddenly—knowledge came into his mind like a rushing river. Dates, 3 , language—everything became so easy. The next day at school, things felt strange. His teacher’s 4 sounded strange, like a robot talking. Suddenly, Lily, his best friend, shouted, “Max! Your eyes—they're shining blue, like a computer loading light!” Panic rising in his chest, Max rushed to the school library. After searching through old books, he discovered the terrible truth: the chip wasn’t giving him knowledge—it was 5 memories from everyone around him! Lily had forgotten her own birthday. The smartest kid in class couldn’t remember basic math. With shaking hands, Max grabbed the chip and pulled it off his neck. All the stolen memories flew back to their 6 . Lily suddenly remembered her birthday party. The math whiz could solve math problems again. That evening, Max sat at his desk with his history book open—the usual way. It was still boring, but now it felt right. As he heard his little sister laughing in the next room, remembering all their inside jokes, Max smiled to himself and turned the page. 1．A．fair B．simple C．delighted D．foolish 2．A．Hi B．On C．Buy D．Yes 3．A．calculations B．notebooks C．tricks D．examinations 4．A．behaviour B．voice C．age D．feeling 5．A．describing B．showing C．protecting D．stealing 6．A．friends B．customers C．owners D．authors 12 备战期末考，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 13 备战期末考，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教材英语期末复习押题系列资料，名师遴选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语期末复习押题系列资料，名师遴选！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 期末复习之完形填空新题型专练15篇 （紧贴新教材话题） 本专题包含话题分析、重温经典和押题预测三个部分 话题分析 单元 单元话题及子主题 期末相关主题预测 Unit 1 Water（水） 核心话题：水的重要性与保护 子主题：水的基本常识、日常生活中的水、缺水地区现状、水保护建议、新型供水方式 1. 水资源保护相关写作 2. 水的重要性说明文 3. 节水行动相关口语对话 Unit 2 Digital life（数字生活） 核心话题：数字技术对生活的影响 子主题：数字产品、数字技术应用、数字生活的优缺点、数字支付方式 1. 数字生活观点类写作 2. 数字产品投诉/推荐口语交际3. 数字技术相关说明文 Unit3 Curious minds（好奇心） 核心话题：好奇心的价值与意义 子主题：好奇心是天生能力、保持好奇心、好奇心的益处、历史上的好奇人物 1. 个人好奇心经历记叙文 2. 好奇心重要性议论文 3. 分享好奇故事口语表达 Unit 4 Then and now（过去与现在） 核心话题：生活与社会的变迁 子主题：城市变迁、旧物与往事、生活中的变化 1. 生活 / 社会变化对比类写作 2. 谈论过去与现在的口语对话 3. 历史与现代生活差异说明文 Unit 5 Teamwork（团队合作） 核心话题：团队合作的要素与意义 子主题：优秀团队特质、团队合作挑战、团队精神、自然界中的团队合作 1. 团队合作经历记叙文 2. 团队问题解决相关口语交际 3. 团队合作重要性议论文 Unit 6 Life in the future（未来生活） 核心话题：未来生活的预测与畅想 子主题：未来娱乐、未来交通、未来生活场景、创造美好未来 1. 未来生活预测类写作 2. 未来生活畅想口语对话 3. 科技与未来生活相关短文 知识精练 一、重温经典 Most people have heard of the Great Wall of China, but not many foreigners know about the Grand Canal (运河) . This man-made waterway— known in China as Da Yunhe— is 1,700 kilometres long and some parts of it are more than 2,000 years old. It 1 the north of China with Hangzhou, a city in the southern part of the country. It’s the longest man-made waterway in the world. It was built as a 2 to transport grain (运输粮食) from the rich agricultural (农业的) land in China’s south to cities in the north. In fact, it’s not one canal, but a system (系统) of canals and rivers linked 3 . It’s still an important part of the transport system in China. Thousands of boats use it every day to transport grain and many other types of cargo (货物). Now the Chinese government is doing new work on the Grand Canal.

They were printed on big sheets of paper and brought to homes early in the morning or sold in shops. But now, the way we read news is very different because of technology. These days, it’s more 1 to read news on digital devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops. The change from paper to screens has happened for many reasons. First, the Internet lets us get news 2 . Instead of waiting for the morning paper, digital news is always there and keeps getting updated all the time. This means we can know about new events as they happen.    Another big change is how easy it is to get digital news. You can read news 3 , like on a bus, in a line, or at home. This convenience has made digital news very popular. Digital news sites also have things like videos, links, and pictures that make news more interesting. 4 , this new way of reading news has its problems. Screen pop-ups and digital advertisements can make it hard for us to focus. Despite these problems, more and more people are reading news digitally. This shows a big change in how we get information and 5 with the world. As technology gets better, we’ll probably see even newer ways to share and read news. It’s important to teach young readers how to use digital news in a good way.

Many children in poor and rural areas had no chance 2 to school. Some families couldn’t afford basic school supplies like textbooks and pens, and there were only a few simple schools with 3 teachers. The 4 part was that countless kids had to stay at home to help with farm work or other jobs. Over time, the government started to pay close attention to this problem. It built new schools in remote villages, offered free textbooks and meals to students from low-income families, and organized training programs for rural teachers.

Or let people 50 years from now know what your life is like today? There’s a fun way to do this—it’s called a “time capsule”! People often 1 small groups of things or information and put them in a safe place. One of the earliest time capsules was the Detroit (底特律) Century Box. On December 31, 1900, the city put several photos and letters in a box. The box wasn’t opened 2 people took it out on December 31, 2000. The things inside the capsule gave us a look at Detroit in the past. There were photos of people and places, as well as letters written by local people. Some of them also made 3 predictions for the future. For example, one person predicted that Detroit would have a population of 4 million by 2000. But 4 , the population of the city was 951,000 that year. Humans have 5 sent time capsules into space! The US sent two capsules into space on the Voyager spacecraft in 1977. They’re called the Voyager Golden Records. They contain 6 and pictures that show human life and culture. For example, they have music by classical musician Beethoven and pictures of plants, insects and landscapes. The Voyager spacecraft has traveled far away from our solar system. It is hoped that aliens (外星人) might find the time capsules someday and learn about humans. 1．A．display B．collect C．send D．hide 2．A．until B．when C．after D．since 3．A．rare B．ordinary C．surprising D．right 4．A．in fact B．at first C．in total D．at last 5．A．never B．even C．hardly D．seldom 6．A．letters B．movies C．books D．sounds 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 5．B 6．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了“时间胶囊”的定义、早期实例，以及人类甚至将时间胶囊送入太空的情况，说明时间胶囊是记录当下生活、传递给未来的一种方式。 1．句意：人们通常收集一小部分物品或信息，把它们放在安全的地方。 display展示；collect收集；send发送；hide隐藏。根据“...small groups of things or information and put them in a safe place”可知，时间胶囊的核心操作是“收集”物品后存放，故选B。 2．句意：这个盒子直到2000年12月31日人们把它拿出来才被打开。 until直到；when当……时；after在……后；since自从。根据“The box wasn’t opened... people took it out on December 31, 2000.”可知，盒子到2000年才被打开，“not...until”是固定搭配，意为“直到……才”，故选A。 3．句意：有些人还对未来做了令人惊讶的预测。 rare稀有的；ordinary普通的；surprising令人惊讶的；right正确的。后文提到“For example, one person predicted that Detroit would have a population of 4 million by 2000... the population of the city was 951,000 that year.”，这种偏差较大的预测是“令人惊讶的”，故选C。 4．句意：但事实上，那一年这座城市的人口是951000。 in fact事实上；at first起初；in total总共；at last最后。根据“For example, one person predicted that Detroit would have a population of 4 million by 2000... the population of the city was 951,000 that year.”，可知前文是“预测”，此处是实际情况，用“in fact”衔接预测与现实的差异，故选A。 5．句意：人类甚至把时间胶囊送入太空！ never从不；even甚至；hardly几乎不；seldom很少。根据“The US sent two capsules into space on the Voyager spacecraft in 1977.”可知是把时间胶囊送入了太空。此处是从“地面时间胶囊”到“太空时间胶囊”的递进，用“even”强调行为的延伸，故选B。 6．句意：它们包含展示人类生活和文化的声音和图片。 letters信件；movies电影；books书籍；sounds声音。后文提到“they have music by classical musician Beethoven”，音乐属于“声音”范畴，故选D。 A Wonderful World of P’s and J’s Are you more of a ‘P’ person or a ‘J’ person? You might be wondering what I’m talking about. These two labels come from the popular Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test. The test produces a four-letter result. The last letter is either ‘P’ for ‘Perceiving’ (感知) or ‘J’ for ‘Judging’ (判断). It sorts people into two camps 1 how they prefer to organize their outside world. Many friends describe me as a classic ‘Judging’ type. I am, after all, keen on making plans. For example, I even time my walk from the office to the nearest metro station and record when trains usually arrive. On most days, a train arrives just as I hit the platform (月台), and this brings me a great deal of 2 . I appreciate (欣赏) those who share my preference for planning, but I’ve also met many ‘Perceiving’ types. Years ago, I went to climb Mount Hua in Shaanxi with some friends. As a ‘Judging’ person, I planned carefully. I thought about what to do if it rained. What if there were no snacks to eat and what if my phone and camera ran out (电量耗尽) quickly? I 3 packing my backpack with ten bottles of water, plenty of mini-bread, five raincoats and as many as three power banks. On the day of the hike, two of my friends appeared, to my surprise, 4 . Halfway through the journey, they got thirsty and hungry and had to rely on me for food and water. “Thanks, mate, you’re a life saver,” one of them said between bites of my mini-bread. Working and traveling with people of different personality types can be difficult at times. However, I have to admit that those with a ‘P’ on their MBTI test are not without advantages. They are often more creative and resourceful (善于随机应变的). While I would often get 5 when things don’t go according to plan, these people are usually cool as cucumbers (冷静自若). And just imagine a world where everyone fell neatly into either the ‘Judging’ or ‘Perceiving’ camp. 6 truly is the spice (趣味) of life. The mix of personalities certainly adds to it. 1．A．famous for B．based on C．made up of D．proud of 2．A．time B．money C．happiness D．sadness 3．A．ended up B．got tired of C．looked forward to D．took up 4．A．kind-hearted B．well-dressed C．empty-handed D．middle-aged 5．A．worried B．pleased C．excited D．bored 6．A．Passion B．Fashion C．Difference D．Friendship 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．A 6．C 【导语】本文主要围绕MBTI人格测试中最后一个字母对应的两种人格类型——“判断型”和“感知型”展开，作者以自身“判断型”人格为例，讲述了自己热衷做详细计划的特点；同时通过与“感知型”朋友一同爬华山的经历，对比了两种人格在行为方式上的差异；最终作者提出，不同人格类型各有优劣，而人格的多样性正是生活的趣味所在。 1．句意：它根据人们偏好的外部世界组织方式，将人们分为两类。 famous for因……著名；based on基于，根据；made up of由……组成；proud of为……感到骄傲。根据“It sorts people into two camps...how they prefer to organize their outside world.”可知，此处表示它根据人们偏好的外部世界组织方式。故选B。 2．句意：大多数时候，我一到月台火车就来了，这给我带来了极大的幸福感。 time时间；money金钱；happiness快乐；sadness悲伤。根据“On most days, a train arrives just as I hit the platform, and this brings me a great deal of...”可知，火车总能准时赶上，这是令人愉悦的事。故选C。 3．句意：我最后往背包里装了十瓶水、大量迷你面包、五件雨衣，还有多达三个充电宝。 ended up最终；got tired of厌倦；looked forward to期待；took up占据。根据前文“As a ‘Judging’ person, I planned carefully.

What if there were no snacks to eat and what if my phone and camera ran out quickly?”可知，作者是判断型人格，会仔细计划，考虑各种情况，最终打包了大量物资。故选A。 4．句意：徒步旅行那天，让我惊讶的是，我的两个朋友居然空着手来了。 kind-hearted心地善良的；well-dressed穿着得体的；empty-handed空手的；middle-aged中年的。根据后文“Halfway through the journey, they got thirsty and hungry and had to rely on me for food and water.”可知，朋友中途又渴又饿，依赖作者的食物和水，因此可知朋友是空手来的。故选C。 5．句意：当事情没有按计划进行时，我通常会感到焦虑，但这些人却总是冷静自若。 worried担忧的；pleased高兴的；excited兴奋的；bored无聊的。根据“While I would often get...when things don’t go according to plan, these people are usually cool as cucumbers”可知，两处形成对比，他人冷静自若，作者则焦虑担忧。故选A。 6．句意：差异才是生活真正的趣味所在。 Passion激情；Fashion时尚；Difference差异；Friendship友谊。根据“...truly is the spice of life.”可知，此处表达差异是生活真正的趣味所在。故选C。 Water is essential for life, but many countries are facing serious water shortages.

The city was sleeping. In a small bakery, Thomas and his workers were busily making bread when, suddenly, a fire broke out. Just four days later, thousands of houses had been destroyed and countless people were homeless. How did this happen? And why was the 1 so huge? For a fire to start, three things are needed: a spark, fuel and air. In the bakery, a worker didn’t watch the ovens attentively. They got too hot and the burning pieces began to fly. The weather was extremely hot. It hadn’t rained for months. And winter was coming, people had 2 lots of food and oil. Houses were full of wood, coal and other winter supplies. A strong wind was blowing from the east. The situation provided the perfect conditions for fire to spread quickly. What followed was one big 3 . The fire spread quickly, but it was also extremely difficult to fight. It started in a poor area of the city, where houses were very 4 each other. Tens of thousands of people were living in very small space. As the fire struck, people were horrified. Some broke down the doors to get out of their homes. All people were trying to escape from the city. But fire or fallen things 5 the streets. People had no way out. The fire had been going on for almost four days when the Duke of York put a plan into action. His soldiers broke down a paper mill to rob the fire of more fuel. At about this time, the wind also changed direction, driving the fire back into itself. At last, the fire was finished. Although surprisingly few people lost their 6 , at least 13,000 houses 80 per cent of the city’s buildings had been destroyed.

The story of penicillin (青霉素) is one such example. This life-saving 1 was discovered through a lucky accident by a scientist named Alexander Fleming. In September 1928, Fleming was working in his laboratory in London. He was studying staphylococcus bacteria (葡萄球菌)，which can cause serious 2 in people. They felt weak. Before leaving for a vacation, he left some polluted dishes with bacteria in his lab by chance. When he returned, he noticed something 3 . A blue-green mold (青绿霉菌) had grown on one dish, and around it was a clear circle where all the bacteria had died. Instead of throwing away the polluted dish, Fleming became very 4 . He thought the blue-green mold might produce something that could kill bacteria. He decided to test this idea by doing more experiments. He found that the mold juice was indeed very effective at 5 harmful bacteria. He named this amazing mold “penicillin”. What made penicillin so special was that it could kill bacteria without harming human cells. This meant it could be used safely to treat sick people. Fleming’s discovery opened a new chapter in medicine-the age of antibiotics (抗生素). It completely changed how doctors treat bacteria and has 6 countless lives around the world.

Every time he opened his history textbook, the words seemed to swim before his eyes. “Why can’t learning be as 1 as downloading (下载) an app?” he complained, throwing the book onto his bed. Late that night, while scrolling through his phone, a blue advertisement suddenly appeared. “All knowledge learned in seconds. Free 24-hour trial!” Before he could think twice, Max’s finger pressed “ 2 ”. His hand felt funny. Suddenly, a silver chip (芯片) was there. Following the instructions on the screen, Max put the chip to the side of his neck. There was a sharp ZZZT! And suddenly—knowledge came into his mind like a rushing river. Dates, 3 , language—everything became so easy. The next day at school, things felt strange. His teacher’s 4 sounded strange, like a robot talking. Suddenly, Lily, his best friend, shouted, “Max! Your eyes—they're shining blue, like a computer loading light!” Panic rising in his chest, Max rushed to the school library. After searching through old books, he discovered the terrible truth: the chip wasn’t giving him knowledge—it was 5 memories from everyone around him! Lily had forgotten her own birthday. The smartest kid in class couldn’t remember basic math. With shaking hands, Max grabbed the chip and pulled it off his neck. All the stolen memories flew back to their 6 . Lily suddenly remembered her birthday party. The math whiz could solve math problems again. That evening, Max sat at his desk with his history book open—the usual way. It was still boring, but now it felt right. As he heard his little sister laughing in the next room, remembering all their inside jokes, Max smiled to himself and turned the page. 1．A．fair B．simple C．delighted D．foolish 2．A．Hi B．On C．Buy D．Yes 3．A．calculations B．notebooks C．tricks D．examinations 4．A．behaviour B．voice C．age D．feeling 5．A．describing B．showing C．protecting D．stealing 6．A．friends B．customers C．owners D．authors 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．B 5．D 6．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了Max把一张椅子放在脖子上，结果发现自己的知识突飞猛进，原来这张椅子可以偷取别人的记忆。后来Max发现真相，把椅子扔掉，归还别人记忆的故事。 1．句意：为什么学习不能像下载一个app一样简单？ fair公平的；simple简单的；delighted高兴的；foolish愚蠢的。根据“Why can’t learning be as…as downloading (下载) an app?”可知，此处是说为什么学习不能像下载一个app一样简单，表达“简单”的含义。故选B。 2．句意：Max的手指按下去了。 Hi嗨；On在……上面；Buy买；Yes是的。根据“Max’s finger pressed.”可知，Max的手指按下去了。此处表达“按下”的含义。故选D。 3．句意：日期、计算、语言一切都变得如此简单。 calculations计算；notebooks笔记本；tricks诡计；examinations考试。根据“Dates,…, language—everything became so easy.”可知，日期、计算、语言一切都变得如此简单。此处表达“计算”的含义。故选A。 4．句意：他的老师的声音听起来很奇怪。 behaviour行为；voice声音；age年龄；feeling感觉。根据“sounded strange, like a robot talking.”可知，他的老师的声音听起来很奇怪。此处表达“声音”的含。故选B。 5．句意：椅子并没有给他知识——它正在从他周围的每个人那里偷取记忆！ describing描述；showing展示；protecting保护；stealing偷。根据“the chip wasn’t giving him knowledge—it was…memories from everyone around him!”可知，椅子并没有给他知识——它正在从他周围的每个人那里偷取记忆！此处表达“偷取”的含义。故选D。 6．句意：所有被偷走的记忆都飞回了他们的主人那里。 friends朋友；customers顾客；owners主人；authors作者。根据“All the stolen memories flew back to their….”可知，所有被偷走的记忆都飞回了他们的主人那果。此处表达“主人”的含义。故选C。 18 备战期末考，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 23 备战期末考，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
