Passage 1 Working on a team is quite important. However, if people on your team are not good at 1 (communicate), you may often feel terrible. To create a successful team, good communication is 2 most necessary part for both the leader and the team members. The following are some helpful suggestions. Listen to other people actively. When someone is speaking to you, you’re supposed to listen to him actively. 3 you’re not certain about something, you should ask him about it. In this way, you can get your answers to some 4 (question) before moving on. Think about other people’s ideas 5 (careful). When someone tells you about his ideas, you should think about them carefully, no matter how silly they may seem. This shows you are 6 (interest) in his ideas and 7 (make) him feel good. Share your ideas with other people. When you have a new idea, talk 8 it with your team members. This helps to get better ideas. Besides this, it also helps to improve your relationships between you and your team members. Don’t criticise other people. When someone on your team does 9 (anything) wrong, don’t criticise him. You can help him to find out reasons and then help him to deal with the problem. Criticising your team members too often makes them 10 (keep) away from you. As a result, you may feel lonely. Passage 2 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 I often imagine what my life will be like in 2040. I think I’ll probably work as 1 environmental scientist because I love nature and want 2 (protect) our planet comfortably. In my future home, smart technology will help me live 3 (comfortable). My house could have special windows. They can change colour to keep rooms cool in summer. Robots could do cleaning and cooking, giving me more time to read and relax. What is the best part? My self-driving electric car 4 (take) me to work while I enjoy the view! At work, I’ll use smart 5 (computer) to study weather changes. Maybe I’ll develop new ways to clean oceans or connect 6 (amaze) animals and plants with us better. Some of my workmates will be robots, but human workers will still be the most important part of our team. After work, I’ll meet friends at a restaurant with robot waiters to take 7 boring work. We’ll talk about 8 (us) day with the help of AI — no language barriers (障碍)! Later, I could take a VR trip to the rainforest or even Mars before bedtime. The future sounds exciting, but I know I need to work 9 (hard) than before to make these dreams come true. My teachers say 10 I study well and keep learning English, I can be successful! Passage 3 Thirty engineers were working as a team in a company. One day, the manager decided 1 (teach) them about finding real solutions to problems. The team was called for a game in a hall. They all got 2 (surprise) and all reached the hall with different thoughts. As they entered, they found a box full of flat balloons placed on the floor. The manager asked everyone to pick a balloon and blow it up. Then they were asked to write their names on their respective (各自的) balloons carefully so that the balloons wouldn’t blow out. All tried, but not everyone 3 (success). Five balloons blew out because of 4 (press). The engineers who failed were ruled out of the game. As 5 result, 25 engineers came to the next level. All the balloons carrying their names 6 (collect) and then put into a room. The engineers were told to pick the balloon 7 his or her name on. All the 25 engineers began to search for the respective balloons in a rush. It was almost 15 minutes 8 nobody was able to find the right one. The 9 (two) level of the game was over. Then came the final level. The engineers were asked to pick any balloon and give it to the person named on the balloon. Within a couple of minutes, all balloons reached the hands of the respective engineers. The manager announced this was the real solution to the problem. Many times in our life, 10 (share) and helping others give us real solutions to problems. Passage 4 Amy is my good friend. When the school drama festival was coming, we both took part in the audition (试镜) for Alice in Wonderland. Amy had long wanted 1 (play) Alice. The cast list (演员名单) later came out, I found that I would play Alice and Amy would play the March Hare. After school, I asked Amy, “Shall we practisc reading the lines together?” “No, I’m busy,” Amy replied and walked away. That night, I said to my mother, “Amy behaved 2 (different) after we knew the audition result. Her cold 3 (word) hurt me.” My mum said, “Judy, put 4 (you) in Amy’s shoes. She didn’t get the chance to play her favourite role. She felt unhappy at that time. You should 5 (try) to understand her. “ The next day, our school 6 (organize) a rehearsal (排练). After seeing Amy’s performance, I told her, “Amazing! Your expressions brought the March Hare to life!” Amy thanked me and felt happy. Then she explained, “I was really in low spirits yesterday, 7 I refused your offer. I’m sorry, Judy.” I said, “It’s OK, Amy. You don’t need to say sorry to me. I can understand your feelings.” Then both of us smiled and I felt we became much 8 (close). The drama festival finally came. Our performance was 9 great success. Amy and I enjoyed the joyful moment on stage together. We felt lucky to have each other 10 friends. Passage 5 Saulebek Kabylbekov is from Kazakhstan. Now, he works as 1 eye doctor in Daqing, China. He 2 (call) Dr Bek by the locals. In 1993, Dr Bek first came to China for a short medical trip. Five years later, he 3 (join) the Daqing Eye Hospital and never left. “At first, I never imagined I’d stay here this long. But 4 (slow), I found myself growing with the hospital. Now, China is my 5 (two) home,” the doctor said. Dr Bek helps people deal 6 eye problems in the hospital. Sometimes, he goes to faraway villages to help more people in need. And he is glad to pass on his skills and knowledge to young doctors to help them improve.       With his excellent skills and smile, Dr Bek is very popular with his 7 (patient). Liu Yanfang is one of them. The woman shared, “Over ten years ago, there was something wrong with 8 (I) eyes. Luckily, I met Dr Bek. He not only gave me the proper medical care, 9 also encouraged me to face the difficulties bravely. This year, when my eyes hurt again, I didn’t go anywhere else. I came straight to see Dr Bek.” Dr Bek, with white hair, is 67 years old. “I never think I’m too old 10 (do) the job well. I keep learning, hoping to help more people,” he said. Passage 6 Growing up is not easy. It can be 1 real “pain”. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do. And we 2 (allow) to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel trapped; sometimes we are fearful. When we look back on all the difficulties in life with a positive attitude, we realise that all of our growing pains 3 (actual) turn into growing gains! When I was a young girl, my parents 4 (order) my sisters and me to do many things we never liked. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. 5 that time I hated music. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I realise that my parents and teachers were always pushing me forward, not because they wanted me 6 (suffer), but because they wanted me to succeed in life. Every moment in our lives is precious, so live life to the fullest! We are all going to experience growing 7 (pain), but they are just small pains in life. They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel 8 we had no fear and lived a life like that. The future is 9 (our). A little hard work and sweat never harm anyone! If we realise that these pains are just small bumps on our road to 10 (succeed), we will find that our growing pains are actually growing gains. Passage 7 I was just reading my diary from four years ago. How time 1 (fly)! Back then, I was so disappointed at being too short and failing to get on the basketball team. I couldn’t help 2 (laugh) at my heartbreaking words then. Basketball was really a big deal 3 me. But things changed soon after that. I was so hurt by my failure back then, and my friends were all 4 (worry). “Why not try something else, like swimming or skiing?” suggested my best friend. At first, I swam just 5 (take) my mind off things. But soon, I fell 6 (complete) in love with the sport. I’ve won several competitions now and I’ve made a lot of friends. My life has taken a different turn. It’s great to look back and see my pains and gains with fresh eyes. Growing up will never be 7 easy thing. But we need to look at challenges the right way. Now I understand that failure is a part of life. It may fall upon 8 (we) at any stage in our lives. I have experienced many other terrible moments since then. 9 I have never felt so bad again. I know clearly that failure lasts just a moment. When one door closes, another opens. Life is waiting for us with many other 10 (surprise). Tomorrow is another day. Passage 8 I joined a band as a drummer in my middle school. I thought I would have fun playing the drums and meeting new friends. At first, it was easy, but a month later, it got difficult. I was 1 only one who couldn’t keep pace (节奏) with the other players. Our teacher, Angie, singled me out (把我单独挑出来) to keep practising 2 everyone else got to relax. I felt ashamed as my teammates watched me fail so many times. Finally, I got so tired of practising that I didn’t care about doing it right. “Are you giving up, Steve?” Angie asked. “Yes, I am,” I shouted. Angie sent me inside the music room, where I cried out. Then she came in and said, “Don’t be sad. I believe you can make it!” She told me never to give up. She left me alone and I realised Angie was right—by giving up, I was also giving up on the team and   3 (I). With her comfort, I decided to go on practising. However, I still couldn’t play well. Knowing my difficulties, my teammates gave me a hand. They spent about three more hours 4 (practise) with me every week. Thanks to their help, I began to keep pace with them. I played much 5 (good) than before. Later, we performed   6 (wonderful) in an important show. In the past whole process, I 7 (teach) a lesson. Although we each had our own job to do in a show, we would all work together 8 (make) the show great. I felt accepted and understood the 9 (important) of teamwork. I couldn’t imagine what my school life would be like 10 them. I loved everyone in the band. Passage 9 When I was eight, I was shy and had no friends. I dreamed of 1 (have) a horse as a friend. One day, Mum said, “Nancy, the rescue centre keeps some homeless horses. Now some volunteers (志愿者) 2 (need) to help the horses.” That weekend, Mum took 3 (I) to the rescue centre. I was so excited! In the stable (马厩), I noticed a horse, much smaller than other horses, standing in the corner. “That’s Luna,” the worker said. “She’s shy. 4 she is not as pretty as others, she gets little attention.” “But I think she’s beautiful,” I said. I told Mum I wanted to help in the centre. After having a 5 (discuss) with the worker, Mum agreed. I had so much fun at the centre that I helped there for ten years. Day by day, Luna and I became closer and we 6 (stick) together all the time. I walked her, brushed her, and shared everything 7 her. During those years, I also became more outgoing. I made friends both at the centre and at school. When I had to leave for university, I hugged Luna for a long time, promising 8 (return) after a few months. Luna 9 (total) changed my life. From her, I learned to be patient. I learned that what one is like on the inside is 10 (important) than what one looks like on the outside. Luna wasn’t just a horse—she was my best friend. Passage 10 When my grandpa was young, he worked as a cashier in a local shop. He spent his life 1 (count) coins, sweating through long shifts—no self-checkout machines back then. Today, most stores have self-checkout systems. These machines have replaced many cashiers. Technology is changing our work. As old jobs are disappearing, new ones appear. Have you heard of a “virtual tour guide”? These people use VR headsets 2 (provide) online tours of famous landmarks. It becomes popular because it 3 (allow) people to explore the world on their couches! Another new job is “AI trainer”, which needs employees to teach AI to understand human language 4 recognise images. This needs high-tech skills—something 5 (difficult) than what my grandpa needed to be a cashier. These changes remind 6 (we): the market changes, and we must change, too. Many 7 (company) offer training for new skills, like coding or digital communication. Some factories train workers to use robots for better efficiency. And in return, they offer better pay to the workers. It’s 8 win-win situation. But can machines replace all human jobs? Well, I think it is impossible. A pilot still flies planes (even with autopilot); a nurse takes care 9 newborns; a teacher encourages students. Machines can’t do these jobs. The world of work is 10 (challenge), but it is also exciting. In 10 years, you might have a job that doesn’t exist today, like a “space tour guide”! Passage 11 阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。 Jobs have changed a lot throughout history. Long ago, nearly 90% of people worked on farms. They grew crops 1 wheat and rice, and raised animals such as cows and chickens to sell or eat. Life was hard then, and work started at sunrise and ended at sunset. Then came the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century. Machines began to do work that humans used 2 (do). Steam engines powered factories, and people moved from villages to 3 (city). Jobs like making clothes by hand disappeared, while new jobs such as train drivers and engineers appeared. But 4 (sad), young children worked in dangerous factories too. In the 20th century, technology 5 (change) jobs again. Computers 6 the Internet created many new jobs. For example, people started working as computer programmers, online game designers and social media managers. Offices became common, and sharing ideas through teamwork grew important. By 7 year 2000, some jobs even let people work from home! Today, robots and artificial intelligence are changing 8 (we) workplaces. Machines can now clean houses, sort packages, and help doctors during surgeries. This means some old jobs may disappear, but exciting new ones will come. What will jobs be like in 30 years? Experts say digital skills like coding will be 9 (use). Soft skills like creativity and communication will matter even more. People might learn some different skills in their lifetime! “Never stop learning,” say some scientists. Because changes will only get even 10 (fast). Passage 12 If you visit Scarborough Beach, you may see many wonderful sand sculptures (沙雕). They were created by Mark Lewis, a sand art designer. Lewis first made the sand sculpture just for fun. He enjoyed 1 (him) when making the sculpture, so he decided to make it a job. However, when he shared this idea 2 his family, they didn’t support him. Making sand sculptures is difficult, 3 Lewis didn’t give up. He worked hard 4 (improve) his skills. In his free time, he preferred going to the beach to staying at home. Finally, his hard work paid off, and he achieved his dream. “There are many 5 (step) in making a sculpture. First, put wet sand into a mould (模具). Then, some tools 6 (need) to shape the sand. Next, start making the small parts. Finally, you need to put them together. I must work 7 (careful). Every tiny part of the sculpture needs my full attention,” Lewis said. Lewis knows that his sculptures don’t last long because 8 the weather. “That’s why I find this kind of work interesting,” said Lewis. “It drives me to keep discovering the beauty around us.” For him, the happiness these sculptures bring to people is 9 (important) than keeping them forever. Lewis hopes his sand art will 10 (like) by more people. He also encourages everyone to try making sand sculptures. He says, “All it takes is some patience and creativity.” 8 / 8乐思英语 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $考前特训 期中考 语法填空 仿真模拟 考前特训（天津专用） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 特 训 范 围 Unit 1 Career talks Unit 2 Growing pains and gains Unit 3 What makes a great team?
