The water cycle plays an important role in protecting our Earth’s climate (气候). It p 6 us with water to drink and keeps our climate healthy. On top of that, it takes water from rivers and oceans and brings it to the areas that don’t have enough water. Without the cycle, we would f 7 many problems.

The water cycle is a natural process that keeps our planet alive. It’s important for plants and animals to drink water and for our rivers to stay flowing with water. Understanding the water cycle can help us enjoy the beauty of nature, know how our planet works and develop better methods to p 10 our Earth.

But hundreds of years ago, people had a different problem—a 400-year cold p 1 ! From the 1400s to the 1800s, winters in the northern half of the earth were c 2 and longer than they are now. Scientists call this time the “Little Ice Age” (小冰期). The colder weather brought many s 3 problems. Plants died of cold and illness spread among people. People had to spend a lot more time collecting wood for f 4 to keep their houses warm. And sometimes, a huge piece of ice would slide down (滑落) a mountain and destroy (摧毁) some villages. Scientists think the Little Ice Age was c 5 by forces (力量) that people could not control. One cause, in their opinion, was the sun. The sun often has “storms” of energy called sunspots (太阳黑子). During the Little Ice Age, there were fewer sunspots than there are t 6 . With fewer sunspots, the sun was giving out less energy which made the earth cooler.

A group of high school students in southern China o 2 their answers, moving millions of people. Yu Yaxuan, a Chinese language teacher at Shenzhen Nanshan Foreign Language School (Group) in Guangdong province, recently collected 54 surveys from her students, each containing only one question: “If you had to choose one Chinese c 3 to prove you’re not AI, what would it be?” The answers surprised Yu and later impressed many people on the internet after a video about the exercise went viral, leading to heated discussion about the meaning of being human. Two students offered seemingly o 4 answers: “urgent” and “slow”. “Robots don’t understand why humans are always in a hurry,” one student wrote. “It takes 30 minutes for a hospital to give back test results, so why do patients check them every few minutes? Humans do not live in purely objective time. Our experience of time is s 5 by emotion.” Another student, surnamed Wu, didn’t agree. “When we think of speed and efficiency, we think of AI, yet humans long to slow down with those they care about,” Wu wrote. “AI is always pursuing speed and correct results, but I wish for humans to walk slowly, speak slowly and grow up slowly. I am willing to spend time on things that make life beautiful.” Other students chose words such as “doubt” and “finite”. “Will AI doubt its creator?” one student asked. Another wrote: “AI is infinite, but e 6 about me is finite—the knowledge I’ve g 7 , the people I’ve met, the stories I’ve heard, my life and my time. AI is valuable because it is infinite, while I am e 8 more precious because I am finite.” Other answers included “courage”, “faith”, “hate”, “r 9 ”, “love” and “hurt”. “What t 10 moves people may not be a single class, but the faint glimmers of humanity that digitalization can’t delete,” Yu said. 【答案】 1．value/alue 2．offered/ffered 3．character/haracter 4．opposite/pposite 5．shaped/haped 6．everything/verything 7．gained/ained 8．even/ven 9．regret/egret 10．truly/ruly 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章通过学生们对“用什么证明自己不是AI”的回答，探讨了人类区别于AI的独特价值，如情感、有限性与人性光辉。 1．句意：当人工智能(AI)让生活变得比以往任何时候都更容易的时候，人类的真正价值是什么？文章开篇提出一个核心问题：“what is the true…of human being?”，结合下文和首字母提示，学生们寻找的是人类独有的品质，也就是人类的“价值”。首字母v对应value。 2．句意：中国南方的一群高中生给出了他们的答案，感动了数百万人。分析句子，该句缺谓语。语境提示，该句陈述过去发生的动作，所以时态为一般过去时。空格前“A group of high school students”和空格后“their answers”，结合首字母提示，此处指高中生给出了他们的答案。首字母o对应offered。 3．句意：余雅萱是广东深圳南山外国语学校(集团)的一名语文老师，她最近收集了54份来自学生的调查问卷，每份问卷都只有一个问题:“如果你必须选择一个汉字来证明你不是人工智能，你会选择什么？” Chinese character“汉字”。 4．句意：两个学生给出了看似相反的答案:“急”和“慢”。“urgent”和“slow”是两个含义完全相反的词。因此，这两个答案看起来是相反的。首字母o对应opposite。 5．句意：我们对时间的体验是由情感塑造的。上文“Humans do not live in purely objective time.”提到人类不生活在纯粹的客观时间里。这句话解释原因。首字母s对应shaped，shaped意为“塑造；影响”，符合逻辑。 6．句意：AI是无限的，但我的一切都是有限的——我获得的知识，我遇到的人，我听到的故事，我的生活和我的时间。下文列举了“我学到的知识、遇到的人、听到的故事、我的生命和时间”，这些都是概括性的。everything about me“关于我的一切”，统领下文。 7．句意：AI是无限的，但我的一切都是有限的——我获得的知识，我遇到的人，我听到的故事，我的生活和我的时间。前文“the knowledge I’ve…”，结合首字母提示，该句时态为现在完成时，指我获得的知识。首字母g对应gained。 8．句意：人工智能因为它是无限的而有价值，而我因为我是有限的而更加珍贵。这句话是与前文AI的对比：AI因为它是无限的而有价值，而我因为我是有限的而……更珍贵。首字母e对应even，even用来修饰比较级more precious，加强语气，意为“甚至；更加”符合逻辑。 9．句意：其他答案包括“勇气”、“信念”、“仇恨”、“后悔”、“爱”和“伤害”。上下文中“courage”，“faith”，“hate”，“love”和“hurt”一系列词都是描述人类情感或状态的抽象名词。空格处应填一个同样属于情感范畴的词。首字母r对应regret。 10．句意：“真正打动人的可能不是某一个阶层，而是数字化无法抹去的人性的微弱闪光，”余雅萱说。分析句子“What…moves people may not be a single class”，该句不缺主要成分，空格处需要修饰动词moves。首字母对应truly，truly副词，意为“真正地”，符合语境。 2 迎战新中考，备考有方向，冲刺有重点！ 1 迎战新中考，备考有方向，冲刺有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 备战2026年天津中考英语押题预测系列，本地名师甄选！ 备战2026年天津中考英语押题预测系列，本地名师甄选！ 专题11 首字母填空热点练15篇 （新题速递） 【选题说明：90%选自最新模考/外刊/改编/热点；内容预览：3类限时训练共15篇；难度：易中难】   押   题   预   测 基础入门限时练5篇，建议用时20分钟，实际用时 分钟 根据短文内容及所给首字母提示，写出所缺单词，使短文意思完整、通顺，每空一词。 You may think you cannot live through summer if there aren’t air conditioners (空调).

The Chinese people have told it for many, many years. One day, Zhou Yu gave Zhuge Liang an i 1 task. He asked him to m 2 100,000 arrows within ten days. “No problem,” Zhuge Liang said. “I’ll bring you 100,000 arrows in t 3 days.” Zhuge Liang asked his soldiers to fill 20 large boats with a lot of straw men.

The water cycle is a natural process that takes water from the ground and the sky and brings it b 2 to the earth again. It is a cycle that happens the whole year and is most active from March to June in China. In the article, we will explore (探索) the water cycle and discuss its importance for Earth. The water cycle always begins with water vapour (蒸汽). When it’s hot outside, you can see clouds forming in the sky. These clouds are m 3 of water vapour that comes from the ground, plants and r 4 . As water vapour rises (上升) into the sky, it cools down and becomes clouds. After that, clouds travel through the sky and fall back to Earth as rain or snow. Then, water runs through rivers and oceans and finally r 5 to the earth again in different forms like rainwater or snow. The water cycle plays an important role in protecting our Earth’s climate (气候). It p 6 us with water to drink and keeps our climate healthy. On top of that, it takes water from rivers and oceans and brings it to the areas that don’t have enough water. Without the cycle, we would f 7 many problems. When there is too much water in one place, it becomes a f 8 . When water is badly in n 9 , it becomes a drought (旱灾). Besides, water vapour can take heat from the sun and keep our planet cool. The water cycle is a natural process that keeps our planet alive. It’s important for plants and animals to drink water and for our rivers to stay flowing with water. Understanding the water cycle can help us enjoy the beauty of nature, know how our planet works and develop better methods to p 10 our Earth. And that is a responsibility (责任) we should take on. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，在空白处填入一个适当的单词。 Dear David, I’m glad you’ll come to Beijing to learn Chinese. Chinese is very u 1 .

Her mom was cutting grass with a lawnmower(割草机). But Clara wished her mom would play with her i 1 . But Mom said the grass was very long and had to be cut. Suddenly, the lawnmower s 2 working. Clara’s mom looked upset. Clara wondered what was w 3 . Her mom picked something up out of the grass, and walked to Clara. Clara’s mom had a little turtle (龟) in her hand! As Clara looked closer, she saw that one leg was in bad shape. “I think I b 4 its leg,” Clara’s mom said. “I am really sorry. Can you help me nurse it back to health?” Clara felt bad for the little turtle. The turtle moves s 5 , so it probably could not run away when it saw the lawnmower coming. And Clara’s mom didn’t see it in the long grass! It was a mistake. Clara named the turtle Phillip. Phillip was taken to the vet (兽医). The vet told Clara that the turtle needed plants to eat, water to drink and a place to live i 6 . Clara and her mom bought a small tank (水箱) for Phillip on the way home. At home, Clara took good care of Phillip. She put water and rocks in the tank. She brought it fruit and leaves to eat, and kept its tank c 7 .

But hundreds of years ago, people had a different problem—a 400-year cold p 1 ! From the 1400s to the 1800s, winters in the northern half of the earth were c 2 and longer than they are now. Scientists call this time the “Little Ice Age” (小冰期). The colder weather brought many s 3 problems. Plants died of cold and illness spread among people. People had to spend a lot more time collecting wood for f 4 to keep their houses warm. And sometimes, a huge piece of ice would slide down (滑落) a mountain and destroy (摧毁) some villages. Scientists think the Little Ice Age was c 5 by forces (力量) that people could not control. One cause, in their opinion, was the sun. The sun often has “storms” of energy called sunspots (太阳黑子). During the Little Ice Age, there were fewer sunspots than there are t 6 . With fewer sunspots, the sun was giving out less energy which made the earth cooler. Volcanic eruption (火山爆发) was probably a 7 natural cause. During the Little Ice Age, many volcanoes erupted. Their dust (灰尘) might stop the sun’s light and h 8 from reaching the earth. Today we are seeing the influences of rising t 9 . Scientists think people are causing this change by b 10 a lot of coal and oil. So we need to change our way of living. Dear Diary, Guess where I am now? I’m living on China’s Tiangong Space Station, about 400 kilometres a 1 the Earth! It’s a very special place. S 2 I share my room with three other team members, I never feel lonely here. Six Chinese astronauts take turns to take good care of us here. Last night, three of them flew up to the space station with us on the Shenzhou-21 spacecraft together. This is China’s 16th crewed space flight, so humans are pretty much old hands here. H 3 , for us space mice, it’s our first time in space! Before us, only worms, fruit flies and zebrafish had been to space with astronauts here. We’re so p 4 to be the first mammals (哺乳动物) to join them. Getting here wasn’t easy. Life in space is very different from that on Earth. What’s more, none of us are b 5 space mice, we are chosen from 300 mice after over 60 days of difficult training. I still remember the hardest test: a spinning machine. When it turned fast, to a 6 falling off, I had to hold on with my paws and keep my body straight. I 7 of giving up, I kept training, though my paws hurt badly. Sometimes, I can see our beautiful blue planet below t 8 the windows. We’ll r 9 here for about a week, then fly back to Earth. Scientists will study how our bodies may have changed. It will help humans better understand the i 10 of space environments. Here’s to more adventures among the stars! See you tomorrow! Your starry-eyed friend, A lab rat on Tiangong Have you ever known anything about planes? Planes were once m 1 of wood and other materials (材料). However, many things have changed since planes were improved for military use, which really began in 1914. Planes improved in structure (结构) b 2 they had to be able to carry heavy things. And engineers made this come true. Any progress needs the support of knowledge. With the d 3 of aerodynamics (空气动力学), some engineers came up with new ways to cut through the air smoothly. It was possible for planes to be bigger and fly faster, f 4 and higher. As planes flew higher, pilots and passengers would have more difficulty in breathing in the thin a 5 . The pressurized cabins (加压舱) were invented in order to s 6 this problem. It made breath easier in 30,000-foot high sky. Besides, improved radio equipment allowed pilots to receive flight directions from the ground. There were many improvements in plane in the 1930s. All of them went into building the Douglas DC-3. This twin-engine (双发动机) transport plane made its first passenger flight in 1936. It could pick up 21 passengers and could fly s 7 . It soon became the m 8 transport plane of the world’s major air companies. In 1958, Pan America World Airways began the first jet (喷气) service b 9 New York City and Paris using the American Boeing 707 jet. This popular plane made it possible for people other than the army to travel by plane. Planes have improved many times over the years. But people’s needs are a 10 changing. Engineers are working to make even bigger and better planes for the future. It will offer greater comfort to passengers and reduce air pollution. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。 You probably remember the Flaming Mountains (火焰山) from Journey to the West.

The desert sand can be as hot as 80°C in midsummer. That’s enough to make your feet burn! It may sound crazy, but the locals can cook an egg on the desert sand. Rainfall in Turpan is only 16 mm a year. It is one of the driest places in China. How do people survive in such a t 3 climate? The secret lies in the ancient karez system (坎儿井系统). The karez system in Turpan includes more than 1,000 wells (井) . They a 4 every 20 - 30 metres. Some of them are 100 metres deep! Under these wells are large underground canals (水渠). Water from the mountains falls into the wells. It then runs underground in the canals. It is k 5 cool and safe from the desert heat. There are over 5,000 km of underground canals in the area. That’s n 6 as long as the Yellow River! Thanks to the karez system, people can grow plants for food in this difficult e 7 . And amazingly, all of this was completed with only hand tools! No wonder it’s among the top three projects of ancient China. Today, the area faces a water shortage (短缺). There is less water from the mountains, lower rainfall and a large i 8 in water use.

He was known a 1 one of the “Three Masters of Poetry and Prose in the Early Ming Dynasty” (along with Gao Qi and Liu Ji). As a child, Song loved to read, but his family was too poor to buy him books. To keep reading, young Song borrowed books from others, and he always made s 2 to return them on time. One day, Song borrowed a book and found h 3 liking it more with each page. He decided to copy it down, but the book was due soon. Song copied the book every day until midnight. It was the m 4 of winter. The cold bit through the air, even indoors. His mother said, “It’s too cold to stay up so l 5 . The owner of the book isn’t waiting to read it, is he?” |It doesn’t matter whether he’s waiting or not,” Song replied. “It’s a matter of faith. If you make a habit of breaking promises, how can you earn the r 6 of others?” Another time, Song had made an appointment to visit a teacher far away, but on the day he was to set out, it snowed heavily. When Song went to get his luggage, his mother was surprised. “How can you travel so far on such a s 7 day?” she asked. “Why not wait until the snow clears? No one e 8 you to be on time in this weather.” Song smiled and said, “No matter how hard the snow f 9 , I must go. It would be disrespectful to break my appointment with the teacher.” When Song arrived at the teacher’s house, the teacher was impressed. He said, “Young man, n 10 can stop you from keeping your word. I bet you’ll have a brighter future!” When artificial intelligence (AI) makes life easier than ever before, what is the true v 1 of human being? A group of high school students in southern China o 2 their answers, moving millions of people. Yu Yaxuan, a Chinese language teacher at Shenzhen Nanshan Foreign Language School (Group) in Guangdong province, recently collected 54 surveys from her students, each containing only one question: “If you had to choose one Chinese c 3 to prove you’re not AI, what would it be?” The answers surprised Yu and later impressed many people on the internet after a video about the exercise went viral, leading to heated discussion about the meaning of being human. Two students offered seemingly o 4 answers: “urgent” and “slow”. “Robots don’t understand why humans are always in a hurry,” one student wrote. “It takes 30 minutes for a hospital to give back test results, so why do patients check them every few minutes? Humans do not live in purely objective time. Our experience of time is s 5 by emotion.” Another student, surnamed Wu, didn’t agree. “When we think of speed and efficiency, we think of AI, yet humans long to slow down with those they care about,” Wu wrote. “AI is always pursuing speed and correct results, but I wish for humans to walk slowly, speak slowly and grow up slowly.
