Because when you speak, you’re not just sending out sound—you’re also c 1 a message to yourself at the same time. Every word you speak carries energy. Let’s look at some e 2 : After a test, someone says: “That was terrible, I’m doomed.” Sounds heavy, right? But If they say: “I didn’t do well this time, but I can do better next time!” That turns the energy into m 3 . After l 4 a basketball game, someone says: “We’re useless.” That drags everyone down. But if they say: “We lost this round, but we learned a new trick—next time we’ll be stronger!” Suddenly, the team feels f 5 up again. Sometimes kids say: “I’m so dumb! I cannot make it! It’s i 6 !” But really, you just got stuck on a tough question. If you say: “This is a new challenge for me,” it becomes an opportunity to grow i 7 of an insult to yourself. Little phrases like “I’m bored to death” pack a punch. If you switch it to: “I’m kind of bored, maybe I should find something fun to do,” doesn’t that feel a lot lighter? Even your name has energy. When o 8 call your name, you hear it too. If people always feel nervous saying it, that feeling can affect you as well. You don’t need to be afraid of saying the wrong thing, and you don’t need every word to be perfect. What m 9 is that words are like magic. From now on, try using words that give you and others strength—like casting good s 10 with your voice. 【答案】 1．conveying/onveying 2．examples/xamples 3．motivation/otivation 4．losing/osing 5．fired/ired 6．impossible/mpossible 7．instead/nstead 8．others/thers 9．matters/atters 10．spells/pells 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，阐述了语言的能量与积极表达的重要性，引导读者使用正向语言传递力量。 1．句意：因为当你说话时，你不只是发出声音——你同时也在向自己传递信息。该处需动词的现在分词，与前面的you’re构成现在进行时；根据上下文“you’re not just sending out sound—you’re also ... a message”和首字母c提示，语义与“传递信息”相关，故填conveying。 2．句意：让我们来看一些例子。该处为名词复数，作some的宾语；根据下文列举的考试、篮球比赛等场景和首字母e提示，语义与“例子”相关，故填examples。 3．句意：但如果他们说：“这次我没考好，但下次我能做得更好！”这就把能量转化成了动力。该处所填为名词，作介词into的宾语；根据上下文“turns the energy into ...”和首字母m提示，语义与“动力、积极性”相关，故填motivation。 4．句意：在输掉一场篮球比赛后，有人说：“我们太没用了。”该处需一个动名词，作介词after的宾语；根据下文“We lost this round”和首字母l提示，语义与“输掉比赛”相关，故填losing。 5．句意：突然，团队又感到振奋起来了。该处需一个过去分词，与前面的feels构成系表结构；根据上下文“the team feels ... up again”和首字母f提示，固定搭配feel fired up表示“感到振奋”，故填fired。 6．句意：有时候孩子会说：“我真笨！我做不到！这根本不可能！”该处需一个形容词，作表语；根据上下文“I cannot make it!”和首字母i提示，语义与“不可能的”相关，故填impossible。 7．句意：如果你说：“这对我来说是个新挑战”，它就会变成一个成长的机会，而不是对自己的贬低。该处需一个副词，构成搭配；根据上下文“it becomes an opportunity to grow ... of an insult to yourself”和首字母i提示，固定搭配instead of表示“而不是”，故填instead。 8．句意：当别人叫你的名字时，你也会听到它。该处需一个代词，作主语；根据上下文“When ... call your name, you hear it too”和首字母o提示，语义与“其他人”相关，故填others。 9．句意：重要的是，语言就像魔法。该处需一个动词，作句子谓语；根据上下文“What ... is that words are like magic”和首字母m提示，固定表达What matters is...表示“重要的是……”，主语为单数，故填matters。 10．句意：从现在开始，试着用语言给你自己和他人带来力量——就像用你的声音施展美好的魔法一样。该处需一个名词复数，作宾语；根据上下文“like casting good ... with your voice”和首字母s提示，固定搭配cast spells表示“施魔法”，故填spells。 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。 Lionel Messi was born in Argentina on 24 June 1987.

Chinese words are f 1 by putting together different characters. In many cases, a s 2 character can also make up a word. As one kind of the most ancient characters, Chinese characters have played an important role in the development of Chinese culture. At first, ancient Sumerian and ancient Egyptian symbols existed (存在), but only Chinese characters r 3 today. The history of the Chinese language can be examined by looking at how these characters developed. Chinese writing began t 4 of years ago. According to an ancient story, a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing. One winter day while he was hunting, he saw the footprints of animals in the snow and noticed that the appearance of each one was different. Then he came up with the idea that he could use different shapes to r 5 different objects: The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects. Some characters have been simplified (简化) and others have been made more d 6 over time. However, as a whole, the characters have developed from d 7 into standard forms. The character for a mountain was at first three mountaintops together. This became one mountaintop and three lines, and over time turned into the character used nowadays. Sometimes to express ideas, some characters were made by combining two or more characters together. For example, “r 8 ” was made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character “prisoner” was formed with a “man” inside a square. Other characters were developed for directions and numbers. It is easy to distinguish (区别) their meanings by looking at them. For example, the characters for “u 9 ” and “down”, which are opposites of each other. These characters show meaning but not pronunciation. So, a method was created: one part shows the meaning, the other suggests the s 10 . Many modern Chinese characters use this system. 【答案】 1．formed/ormed 2．single/ingle 3．remain/emain 4．thousands/housands 5．represent/epresent 6．difficult/ifficult 7．drawings/rawings 8．rest/est 9．up/p 10．sound/ound 【导语】本文介绍了汉字区别于西方语言的特点、漫长的起源与发展历程以及多样的造字方法，展现了汉字的文化价值与演变规律。 1．句意：汉语词汇是通过组合不同的汉字构成的。该处需一个动词过去分词，与前面be动词are构成被动语态作谓语；前文介绍汉字不用字母而是用字符表意，提示本句讲汉字的构词方式，结合首字母“f”，form“构成”符合语境，应填formed。 2．句意：在很多情况下，单个汉字也可以组成一个词语。该处需一个形容词，修饰后面名词character作定语；前后句对比组合构词与单字成词，提示语义为“单一的”；结合首字母“s”，应填single。 3．句意：起初，古苏美尔和古埃及符号都存在过，但只有汉字留存至今。该处需一个动词，在转折分句中作谓语；前文对比多种古老文字，提示语义为“保留、留存”；句子为一般现在时，主语为复数，用动词原形。结合首字母“r”，应填remain。 4．句意：汉字书写起源于数千年前。该处需数词，与后文of years构成固定短语；此处表达时间久远，固定搭配thousands of表示“成千上万的”。 5．句意：于是他想到可以用不同的形状来代表不同的事物。该处需一个动词，空前to为不定式符号，需用动词原形；前文仓颉观察不同脚印，想要用图案对应事物，提示语义为“代表、象征”。结合首字母“r”，应填represent。 6．句意：随着时间推移，一些汉字被简化，而另一些变得更加复杂。该处需一个形容词，作主语补足语；and连接前后对比结构，与simplified（简化的）语义相反，提示语义为“繁杂的、复杂的”。结合首字母“d”，应填difficult。 7．句意：但整体而言，汉字从图画形式发展为标准字形。该处需一个名词复数，作介词from 宾语；前文提到最早的汉字是实物的图画，提示语义与“图画”相关。结合首字母“d”，应填drawings。 8．句意：例如，“休”字由“人”和“木”组成。该处需一个名词，举例说明合体造字法；根据人靠树木休息的造字逻辑，对应含义为“休息”。结合首字母“r”，应填rest。 9．句意：比如互为反义词的“上”和“下”两个汉字。该处需一个副词，与down构成反义词并列；日常固定搭配up and down表示“上下”。 10．句意：人们创造出一种造字方法：一部分表意，另一部分表读音。该处需一个名词，作动词suggests的宾语；前文提到部分汉字只表意不表音，由此引出形声字规则，提示语义为“读音”。结合首字母“s”，应填sound。 请根据文章内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Can you imagine a world without money, or a world without even the idea of money? Well, thousands of years ago, money was not used at all. I 1 , humans had the “barter” (物物交换) system, this meant if people wanted something they weren’t able to make or produce t 2 , they had to find someone who could produce it. Then they had to g 3 that person something in exchange. It wasn’t only goods that were bartered, it was s 4 too: making wheels, repairing leather, keeping cows. Later, certain things came to be used as money because everyone would take these things in exchange. They were always n 5 . For example, cows, grains, salt and beads were all used as money at some time. It is difficult for us to imagine buying a horse, for example, with bags of salt but that is e 6 what happened. Salt, in fact, was so v 7 that some soldiers were paid in it. It is said that the word “salary” came from this practice. Finally, all these kinds of money were replaced (取代) by pieces of metal, especially gold and silver. Later on, people made coins, which had a consistent (一致的) purity and weight, and represented certain amounts of various objects. So a certain number of coins represented a cow, or 50 pounds of rice, and so on. Today, of course, we have notes and coins issued (发行) by the government, and everyone a 8 this as money. Money makes it possible to trade in our modern world. You might sometimes find a friend who you can do a direct trade with—perhaps one skateboard or game for another. But mostly this is impossible. Money also allows us to save. It would be difficult to save up lots of cows until you wanted to spend them. W 9 would you put them while you saved? Money is also a measure (衡量) of value. If you have ever done jobs around the house to earn money to buy something like a bicycle, you will have learnt the value of what you were s 10 for by how much work you had to do. Money plays an important role in our lives. So get your money’s worth. 【答案】 1．Instead/nstead 2．themselves/hemselves 3．give/ive 4．skills/kills/services/ervices 5．necessary/ecessary 6．exactly/xactly 7．valuable/aluable 8．accepts/ccepts 9．Where/here 10．saving/aving 【导语】本文介绍了货币的起源和发展，从物物交换到金属货币，再到现代纸币和硬币，阐述了货币在贸易、储蓄和衡量价值方面的重要作用。 1．句意：相反，人类有“物物交换”系统。该处需一个副词，在句中作状语，修饰整个句子。上文提到“几千年前，人们根本不使用货币”，下文说“人类有物物交换系统”，前后是转折关系，结合首字母“I”，应填Instead，表示“相反”。 2．句意：这意味着，如果人们想要一些他们自己无法制造或生产的东西，他们必须找到能生产这些东西的人。该处需一个反身代词，在句中作宾语，指代主语“people”自己。结合首字母“t”，应填themselves，表示“他们自己”。 3．句意：然后他们必须给那个人一些东西作为交换。该处需一个动词，在句中作谓语，主语是“they”，与“something”之间是“给”的关系，描述物物交换的过程，应用一般现在时。结合首字母“g”，应填give，表示“给”。 4．句意：交换的不仅仅是商品，还有技能或服务：制作轮子、修理皮革、养牛。根据“making wheels, repairing leather, keeping cows”可知，制作轮子、修理皮革、养牛这些都属于技能或服务，结合首字母“s”，可填skills“技能”或services“服务”。 5．句意：它们总是必要的。该处需一个形容词，在句中作表语，描述这些作为货币使用的事物的特性。后文提到“例如，牛、谷物、盐和珠子在某些时候都被用作货币”，说明这些事物是“必要的”，结合首字母“n”，应填necessary，表示“必要的”。 6．句意：我们很难想象用一袋袋的盐买一匹马，但事实确实如此。该处需一个副词，在句中作状语，修饰动词“happened”。结合首字母“e”，应填exactly，表示“确实”。 7．句意：事实上，盐非常有价值，据说有些士兵的薪水就是用盐支付的。该处需一个形容词，在句中作表语，描述盐的特性。后文提到“有些士兵的薪水就是用盐支付的”，说明盐是“有价值的”，结合首字母“v”，应填valuable，表示“有价值的”。 8．句意：当然，今天我们有政府发行的纸币和硬币，每个人都接受这些作为货币。该处需一个动词，在句中作谓语，主语是“everyone”，与“money”之间是“接受”的关系，描述现代社会的普遍现象，应用一般现在时。结合首字母“a”，应填accepts，表示“接受”。 9．句意：你储蓄的时候把它们放在哪里呢？该处需一个疑问词，引导特殊疑问句，询问地点。结合首字母“W”，应填Where，表示“哪里”。 10．句意：如果你曾经在家里做过一些工作来赚钱买像自行车这样的东西，你就会通过你必须做多少工作来了解你所储蓄的东西的价值。该处需一个动词，在句中作谓语，与“were”构成过去进行时，描述过去正在进行的动作。结合首字母“s”，应填saving，表示“储蓄”。 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题02 短文首字母填空10篇 （江苏专用） 内容导航 内容速递 基础语篇练习 重难语篇练习 内容速递 本资料共10篇专项训练 基础语篇练习 稳扎稳打 必拿分数：聚焦稳拿分数题目，确保基础分值 重难语篇练习 突破瓶颈 争夺高分：聚焦高难度题目，争夺关键分数 基础语篇练习 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。 In today’s busy world, research shows that more and more people are feeling “time poor”.

Because when you speak, you’re not just sending out sound—you’re also c 1 a message to yourself at the same time. Every word you speak carries energy. Let’s look at some e 2 : After a test, someone says: “That was terrible, I’m doomed.” Sounds heavy, right? But If they say: “I didn’t do well this time, but I can do better next time!” That turns the energy into m 3 . After l 4 a basketball game, someone says: “We’re useless.” That drags everyone down. But if they say: “We lost this round, but we learned a new trick—next time we’ll be stronger!” Suddenly, the team feels f 5 up again. Sometimes kids say: “I’m so dumb! I cannot make it! It’s i 6 !” But really, you just got stuck on a tough question. If you say: “This is a new challenge for me,” it becomes an opportunity to grow i 7 of an insult to yourself. Little phrases like “I’m bored to death” pack a punch. If you switch it to: “I’m kind of bored, maybe I should find something fun to do,” doesn’t that feel a lot lighter? Even your name has energy. When o 8 call your name, you hear it too. If people always feel nervous saying it, that feeling can affect you as well. You don’t need to be afraid of saying the wrong thing, and you don’t need every word to be perfect. What m 9 is that words are like magic. From now on, try using words that give you and others strength—like casting good s 10 with your voice. 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。 Lionel Messi was born in Argentina on 24 June 1987. His father once worked as a factory worker who loved football deeply. When he was a little boy, he had a dream to f 1 his heart and play football for the world’s top teams. However, people didn’t think he could s 2 in football because of his small body and a growth hormone deficiency (生长激素缺乏症) as a kid. A 3 joining a local football club at 6, he was noticed by FC Barcelona’s scouts (球探) at 13. There he got a c 4 to train in Barcelona’s youth academy and play in professional leagues. In 2004, Messi made his first appearance for Barcelona’s first team, and his amazing dribbling (盘带) skills soon b 5 him to millions of football fans around the world. Unluckily, in his early career, he faced many doubts—some said he was t 6 weak to compete in difficult matches. As a result, he spent most of his spare time p 7 even harder and won the FIFA World Player of the Year award four times in a row (2009-2012). Most importantly, he l 8 Argentina to the FIFA World Cup in 2022. At last, he r 9 his dream of winning the FIFA World Cup championship.

Not having enough sleep is a c 2 problem around the world. However, sleep is just like food and water to us. N 3 of us can live if we don’t sleep at all. Sleep experts say that an adult requires 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night and a teenager needs 8.5 to 9.5 hours. Anything less could be h 4 to our health. According to a study, sleeping only five hours a night for a week is like having a blood-alcohol (酒精) level of 0.1 percent. That is a 5 the safe driving limit in most countries. Most people probably wouldn’t take an exam or go to work if they get drunk. But w 6 enough sleep, they still do these things. As a result, they f 7 in the exams or perform badly at work. What’s worse, doctors and nurses often work long hours. When they are sleepy, they might hurt a patient or even cause a patient’s d 8 by accident. T 9 sleep is so important, many people these days are not getting enough. In a survey, twenty percent say that daytime sleepiness influences their daily work. They feel it is hard to pay full attention during the day. However, they don’t seem to care. Some even show off how energetic they can be the next day just with little sleep. It may be time to wake up and c 10 the way we think. We should realize that not sleeping enough is a serious problem. 阅读短文, 根据所给的首字母提示, 写出一个合适的单词, 使短文通顺。 More than 3,000 years ago, during the late Shang Dynasty, ancient Chinese people c 1 a bronze vessel (青铜器) which still amazes us today.

Today, it is displayed in the National Museum of China in Beijing. The zun stands 58.3 centimeters tall and w 3 about 34.5 kilograms. There are four goats on it because goats were one of the six domesticated animals (家畜) in ancient China. Moreover, the Chinese character “祥” which includes the character “羊” was considered gentle and l 4 . Its d 5 is just as fantastic as its design.
