专题01 短文首字母填空15篇（上海专用） （精选中考模拟热点话题） POP MART is enjoying a 1 wave of success with its new Ne Zha 2 toys. These toys sold out quickly after they released on January 30, as the movie kept growing in popularity. Morgan Stanley, a top U.S. company, has named the Chinese toy company’s stock (股票) as one of its top picks. This isn’t the first time Pop Mart has done well with toys b 2 on a famous IP (成名的文创作品). Last year, the company made a lot of money with its Labubu toys. Labubu, a cute elf-like (精灵般的) character, has millions of fans. The s 3 of Labubu helped Pop Mart grow its sales outside the Chinese mainland. Experts at Morgan Stanley think Pop Mart is becoming an important partner for global IP owners to consider. This is a win-win (双赢的) strategy (策略). These companies can make more money and make their IPs more popular by selling toys. At the same time, the cooperation can attract new customers for Pop Mart. Pop Mart’s stock has r 1 by 441% over the past year; mostly due to the growing popularity of “blind-box” toys. Morgan Stanley expects Pop Mart’s growth to continue this year with its products s 2 well. The Ne Zha toys are being sold on platforms like Xianyu for as much as 400 yuan an item, much h 3 than the 69 yuan retail price (零售价). Pop Mart has reportedly increased production to m 4 the high demand (需求). Similarly, Labubu toys are still in short supply and fans have to pay extra money to buy one. But prices have gone down as Pop Mart increases production. As of June 2024, Pop Mart had 374 stores and 2,189 vending machines (自动售货机) on the Chinese mainland. It also has 85 stores and 143 vending machines in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and other markets. 【答案】1．another/nother 2．based/ased 3．success/uccess 4．risen/isen 5．selling/elling 6．higher/igher 7．meet/eet 【导语】本文主要讲述了泡泡玛特新《哪吒 2》玩具大获成功，介绍了泡泡玛特过往依托知名IP的亮眼成绩、双赢的合作模式、股价大幅上涨的情况，同时说明了热门玩具的溢价、供需现状以及泡泡玛特的全球线下门店布局。 1．句意：泡泡玛特凭借新款《哪吒 2》玩具正享受另一波巨大的成功浪潮。结合首字母及文意，此处表示“另一个”，修饰wave。 2．句意：这不是泡泡玛特第一次在基于知名文创 IP 的玩具上取得好成绩。结合首字母及文意，固定搭配based on意为“基于”，此处作后置定语。 3．句意：Labubu的成功帮助泡泡玛特在中国大陆以外拓展了销量。结合首字母及文意，定冠词The后需接名词，此处表示“成功、走红”。 4．句意：泡泡玛特的股价在过去一年已经上涨了441%。结合首字母及文意，句子为现在完成时，此处表示“上涨、攀升”，需用rise的过去分词risen。 5．句意：摩根士丹利预计随着产品热卖，泡泡玛特今年的增长势头将会延续。结合首字母及文意，此处为with复合结构，用动词ing形式表示产品的销售状态。 6．句意：哪吒玩具在闲鱼等平台单件售价高达400元，远高于69元的零售价。结合首字母及后文than可知此处用形容词比较级，表示“更高的”。 7．句意：泡泡玛特已经增加产量来满足高涨的市场需求。结合首字母及文意，固定搭配meet the demand表示“满足需求”，不定式to后接动词原形。 Shaped by the machine New research shows that AI tools like ChatGPT might make our ideas less original (独特的). In 2024, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology did an e 1 with over 50 university students. They asked the students to write essays on questions like “Must our achievements benefit others in order to make us truly happy?” Some students could only rely on their own brains, others could s 2 online resources, while some were allowed to use ChatGPT. The results showed that those ChatGPT users showed less brain activity than either of the other groups. They gave nearly the same answers and 80% couldn’t remember the details in their essays. In 2025, researchers at Cornell University published a study showing s 3 results. It included Indian and US participants; no matter where they were from, AI users’ answers were more Western. They said their favorite food was pizza and their favorite holiday was Christmas. Ethan Molick, a professor of information science, said AI could cause people to lose their c 4 in their writing. He compared AI to a teacher who keeps saying, “this is the better version”, behind your back. Max Kumin Ski, a human-computer interaction researcher from the US, a 5 that when people use AI, they gradually stop thinking for themselves and follow its suggestions. Over time, this makes their work less original. AI tools can bring convenience, but they can also gradually w 6 people’s ability to think independently and their unique expression if we rely on them too heavily. Use AI w 7 rather than letting it take the place of our own thoughts. Only by keeping our own thinking alive can we make AI a helpful tool rather than a barrier to our original ideas. 【答案】1．experiment/xperiment 2．search/earch 3．similar/imilar 4．creativity/reativity 5．added/dded 6．weaken/eaken 7．wisely/isely 【导语】本文主要介绍了两项关于AI工具对人类思维影响的研究，指出过度依赖AI可能降低人们的原创性与独立思考能力，倡导理性使用AI。 1．句意：2024年，麻省理工学院的科学家对50多名大学生做了一项实验。上下文“did an...with over 50 university students”，此处表示“做了一项实验”，“do an experiment with sb.”表示“对某人做实验”，是固定搭配，首字母e对应单词experiment。 2．句意：一些学生只能依靠自己的大脑，另一些学生可以搜索网络资源，而有些学生被允许使用 ChatGPT。根据上下文“rely on their own brains...use ChatGPT”，这里指“搜索网络资源”，could后接动词原形，首字母s对应动词search意为 “搜索”。 3．句意：2025年，康奈尔大学的研究人员发表了一项研究，显示了相似的结果。上文“New research shows that AI tools like ChatGPT might make our ideas less original (独特的).”以及麻省理工学院和康奈尔大学的研究结果表明，两项研究的结果都指向AI降低原创性，因此是“相似的结果”，首字母s对应单词similar“相似的”。 4．句意：信息科学教授Ethan Molick说，人工智能可能会导致人们在写作中失去创造力。对应前文“想法缺乏原创性”，此处表示AI会让人们失去写作中的创造力，首字母c对应单词creativity“创造力”，名词作lose的宾语。 5．句意：美国人机交互研究员Max Kumin Ski补充说，当人们使用人工智能时，他们会逐渐停止独立思考，听从它的建议。根据上下文“Ethan Molick, a professor...Max Kumin Ski, a human-computer interaction researcher...that when people use AI”可知，这里表示另一位研究人员“补充”观点，句子时态为一般过去时，首字母a对应add的过去式added，意为“补充说”。 6．句意：人工智能工具可以带来便利，但如果我们过度依赖它们，它们也会逐渐削弱人们独立思考的能力和独特的表达。上下文“gradually…people’s ability to think independently”提示，过度依赖AI会“削弱”独立思考能力，首字母w对应weaken“削弱”，can后接动词原形。 7．句意：明智地使用人工智能，而不是让它取代我们自己的想法。“rather than letting it take the place of our own thoughts”说明需要“明智地”使用人工智能，这里需要副词修饰动词use，首字母w对应副词wisely“明智地”。 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。 A child and a man were walking on the beach when the child found a shell and held it to his ear. Suddenly he heard strange, low, musical sounds. These sounds seemed to be from another world and the child listened to them with w 1 . Then the man said that the child heard nothing strange, and that the shell caught a range of sounds too faint for human ears. What amazed the child was not a new world, but the unnoticed music of the old. Some such experience as this lies in store for us when we begin the study of literature. Let a little song appeal to the ear, or a great book to the heart, and we draw a new world, a world of dreams and magic. To enter and enjoy this new world, we need to love literature, and make an effort to e 2 it. That means trying to make clear what the writer wants to say and the meaning hidden in the book. Behind every book is a man, behind the man is the race, and behind the race are the natural and social environments. We must know all these, if the book is to speak its whole message. In a word, we have now reached a point where we wish to enjoy and understand literature. The first step is to determine some of its significant qualities. The first quality of literature is its description of truth and beauty. Some truth and beauty remain unnoticed until a sensitive human soul brings them to our a 3 , noticing the small details that others often overlook. A hundred men may pass a field and see only d 4 grass; but a poet stops, looks deeper, sees life and beauty, and writes, “Yesterday’s flowers am I.” The second quality of literature is its appeal to our imagination. Its attraction lies more in what it awakens in us than what it says. When Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus asks in the presence of Helen, “Was this the face that launched a thousand ships?” he opens a door which leads us to a new world, a world of love, beauty and heroism. The third quality of literature, coming out of the other two, is its permanence (永恒性). To a 1 this, it should contain two elements: universal interest and personal style. Good literature reflects the most basic of human n 2 —love and hate, joy and sadness, fear and hope. It also takes on a personal style—no writer can describe human life without reflecting his own life and experiences. In summary, literature is the expression of life in forms of truth and beauty, the r 3 of man’s thoughts and feelings, and the history of the human soul. 【答案】1．wonder/onder 2．explore/xplore 3．attention/ttention 4．dull/ull 5．achieve/chieve 6．nature/ature 7．record/ecord 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了文学的本质与三大核心特质，通过贝壳听声的类比引入，阐述了文学对真理与美的呈现、对想象力的激发，以及其永恒性。 1．句意：这些声音仿佛来自另一个世界，孩子惊奇地听着它们。固定搭配with wonder表示“惊奇地”，符合语境。首字母w对应wonder。 2．句意：要进入并享受这个新世界，我们需要热爱文学，并努力去探索它。后文提到“弄清作者想表达什么和书中隐藏的含义”，对应主动探索文学内涵的动作。首字母e对应explore。 3．句意：有些真理和美一直未被注意，直到一颗敏感的人类灵魂将它们带到我们的注意中。固定搭配bring sth. to one’s attention表示“引起某人的注意”。首字母a对应attention。 4．句意：一百个人经过一片田野，可能只看到枯燥/干枯的草；但诗人会停下脚步，看得更深，看到生命和美。后文诗人看到的“生命与美”和普通人眼中无生机的草形成对比，首字母d对应dull，意为“无趣味、无生机”，符合语境。 5．句意：要实现这一点，它应包含两个要素：普遍的共鸣和个人风格。前文提到文学的“永恒性”，后文说明实现这一特质的条件，首字母a对应achieve，表示“实现”符合语境。 6．句意：好的文学反映了人类最基本的本性——爱与恨、喜与悲、恐惧与希望。后文列举的情感是人类共有的本性，首字母n对应nature，human nature意为“人性”。 7．句意：总之，文学是生活以真理与美的形式的表达，是人类思想与情感的记录，是人类灵魂的历史。固定表达the record of表示“……的记录”，与后文“the history of”形成并列结构。首字母r对应record。 Have you ever traveled abroad? Two Frenchmen, Voisot, 26 and Humblot, 27, recently did. They traveled from their hometown in France to Shanghai. While this may sound like an ordinary trip, the two made headlines because they c 1 it almost entirely (完全地) on foot. The young couple set off in September 2024. They walked around 45 kilometers a day and rested every five or seven days. After crossing 16 countries, they finally reached the Bund on February 7. Tired but h 2 , the two hugged each other by the Huangpu River. “We’re having a hard time believing it’s real, that we’ve done all this on foot,” said Voisot. “We weren’t sure we would m 3 it, but we told ourselves we’d try it out.” Voisot and Humblot have known each other since they were ten years old. They went to secondary school and university together. One night after work, they asked each other what they would do if they could do anything. “When we talked about a t 4 , China came up quickly,” said Humblot. “But we b 5 care deeply about climate change. We wanted to avoid flying, and then we had this slightly crazy idea of walking all the way.” Of course, the journey was no walk in the park. Voisot and Humblot faced lots of challenges. There were “very hard” winters, and they had to cross a desert in Uzbekistan. Still, their strong w 6 kept them going. Now that they’ve reached Shanghai, will Voisot and Humblot simply pack up and head home? Not quite. The two have come up with an even c 7 idea. “Now that we’ve hit the ocean, why don’t we take a boat and head east to the United States?” said Humblot. “Then we could walk across North America, cross the Atlantic and walk back home, making a full circle!” 【答案】1．completed/ompleted 2．happy/appy 3．make/ake 4．trip/rip 5．both/oth 6．will/ill 7．crazier/razier 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了两位法国年轻人Voisot和Humblot从法国徒步穿越16国抵达上海的故事，介绍了他们徒步旅行的缘起、途中挑战，以及他们计划继续环游世界的疯狂想法。 1．句意：虽然这听起来像一次普通的旅行，但这两人登上了新闻头条，因为他们几乎全程步行完成了这次旅行。此处作句子谓语，句子时态为一般过去时，需填动词过去式；结合首字母c和语境，completed (完成，complete的过去式) 符合语义，指两人全程步行完成了跨国旅行。 2．句意：又累又开心，两人在黄浦江畔相拥。此处和Tired并列，需填形容词；结合首字母h和语境，happy (开心的) 符合语义，描述两人抵达上海时疲惫却喜悦的心情。 3．句意：“我们不确定我们能做到，但我们告诉自己要试一试。”此处作would的宾语，需填动词原形；结合首字母m和语境，make it为固定搭配，意为“成功做到”，因此填make。 4．句意：“当我们谈论旅行时，中国很快就被提及。”此处作介词about的宾语，需填名词；结合首字母t和语境，trip (旅行) 符合语义，指两人聊起想做的事时，想到了去中国旅行。 5．句意：“但我们都非常关心气候变化。”此处修饰动词care，需填副词；结合首字母b和语境，both (两者都) 符合语义，指两人都关注气候变化问题。 6．句意：不过，他们强烈的意志支撑着他们继续前行。此处作主语，需填名词；结合首字母w和语境，will (意志) 符合语义，指两人的坚强意志支撑他们克服挑战。 7．句意：两人想出了一个更疯狂的想法。此处修饰名词idea，需填形容词比较级；结合首字母c和语境，crazy的比较级crazier (更疯狂的) 符合语义，指他们计划继续环游世界的想法比之前的徒步更疯狂。 Most of us like living near other people in a community. Why? Early humans lived in large groups called tribes (部落) . Tribes were necessary to keep people alive. People in tribes shared food and kept each other safe. As a result, our brains are hard to connect with other people. Being part of a community——a modern kind of tribe——i 1 our health and happiness in many ways. Studies show that people who are less connected survey in the United Kingdom found that nearly ten million people said they often felt lonely. That’s one in six people in the whole country. In fact, loneliness is i 2 year-on-year by about 1.9 percent around the world. When we are lonely, we feel stressed. Stress can lead to health problems such as heart disease and weight gain, experts say. A study in 2013 showed that having few social connections is w 3 for your health than smoking cigarettes. Being in a community has many positive effects. If we are sick, close social connections help us get better faster. And they help us sleep better, too. One study showed that being part of a community gives you a 50 percent c 4 of living longer. People who have good social connections do better at school. They are also more e 5 at work and keep their jobs longer. There are several ways we can get more of the positive effects from our communities. Using Next-door, a neighborhood social networking app, is one way. For example, Joan in Spain used Next-door to tell neighbors that he needed help. He wanted to make a movie. Over forty neighbors volunteered to help. Joan’s neighbors learned new skills while they were working t 6 . They became good friends, too. Dr. Emma who studies the effects of social connections says there are other ways people can connect in their community. These include getting a pet and meeting other pet owners, or taking a class and learning something new. In conclusion, it might take effort, but the a 7 of making connections in your community are worth it. Communities make us feel good and help us deal with the problem of loneliness. Connect with your community today. 【答案】1．improves/mproves 2．increasing/ncreasing 3．worse/orse 4．chance/hance 5．effective/ffective 6．together/ogether 7．advantages/dvantages 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了社区生活对人们身心健康的重要意义，介绍了社区连接带来的积极影响，同时提及孤独问题的现状，并给出了建立社区联系的实用方法，呼吁人们主动融入社区。 1．句意：成为社区的一部分——一种现代的部落形式——在许多方面改善我们的健康和幸福感。主语Being part of a community为单数，句子时态为一般现在时，此处动词需用第三人称单数形式。现代的部落方式能够改善生活体验。表示“改善”的单词是improve，符合首字母i的要求。故填improves。 2．句意：事实上，全球的孤独感正以每年约1.9%的速度逐年增加。结合year-on-year和上下文，此处表示“正在增长”，应用现在进行时。故填increasing。 3．句意：2013年的一项研究表明，社交关系少对你的健康比吸烟更糟糕。根据than可知此处需用形容词比较级，结合上下文，此处需填贬义词。故填worse。 4．句意：一项研究表明，成为社区的一员能让你有50%的几率活得更长。固定搭配a chance of doing sth.，此处表示“几率”，故填chance。 5．句意：他们在工作中也更有效率，能够更长时间地继续自己的工作。结合上下文，此处表示“更高效的”，用形容词，故填effective。 6．句意：Joan的邻居们在一起工作时学到了新技能。结合上下文，此处表示“一起、协作”，故填together。 7．句意：但在社区中建立联系的好处是值得的。结合后文are worth it，且单词以a开头，此处表示“好处、优势”，用复数形式，故填advantages。 Fill in the blanks with proper words（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） The Value of Language Learning Nowadays, AI language tools are everywhere. People might w 1 if learning a language is still necessary. After all, why spend time learning a new language when AI can translate anything in a second? However, learning a language is still worth it. While using AI tools can make life easier, it can’t completely r 2 the experience of learning a language. That is to say, AI can help you learn a language, but it cannot take its place. So why is speaking foreign languages still important today? In the first place, speaking foreign languages allows you to connect with different cultures. When you speak someone’s native language, you can b 3 understand their humor, values, and hidden social rules — things AI often cannot understand. For example, when Chinese people ask “Have you eaten yet?”, it is usually a warm g 4 rather than a real question about food. AI can translate the sentence, but it can never fully understand the care and kindness behind it. B 5 , speaking more than one language is a powerful skill for your career. Multilingual (能说多种语言的) people often have an a 6 in the international job market. They develop stronger communication skills, which help them work well with people from other countries. Last but not least, language learning opens your mind. When you learn a language, you learn to look at things in different ways. It helps you form your o 7 opinions. Instead of being told what to think, you can actively read, listen, speak, and think for yourself. In a word, the benefits of language learning go far beyond mere words. They shape how you connect with the world. 【答案】1．wonder/onder 2．replace/eplace 3．better/etter 4．greeting/reeting 5．Besides/esides 6．advantage/dvantage 7．own/wn 【导语】本文介绍AI语言工具虽普及，但学习语言仍有重要价值，从文化交流、职业发展、思维成长三方面说明了学语言的意义。 1．句意：人们或许会想知道学习一门语言是否还有必要。上文讲到如今AI语言工具随处可见，下文又提出何必花费时间学语言，结合上下文能看出人们内心产生疑惑，情态动词might后用动词原形，首字母w提示填wonder。 2．句意：使用AI工具虽然能让生活更轻松，却不能完全取代学习语言的亲身经历。后文“but it cannot take its place”提到AI可以辅助学语言却无法取而代之，和本句语义呼应，情态动词can’t后接动词原形，首字母r提示填replace。 3．句意：当你说着某人的母语时，能更好理解他们的幽默、价值观以及隐含的社会规则。后文“things AI often cannot understand”说明AI常常无法理解这些深层文化内涵，对比可知人能理解得更透彻，用副词比较级修饰动词understand，首字母b提示填better。 4．句意：比如中国人问“你吃饭了吗？”，这通常是一句亲切的问候，而非真正询问饮食的问题。“Have you eaten yet”只是日常客套打招呼，并不是真的关心吃饭，不定冠词a后接单数名词，首字母g提示填greeting。 5．句意：除此之外，会说多种语言对你的职业发展而言是一项实用技能。前文已经从文化角度阐述学语言的好处，本段开启第二个优势角度，属于递进衔接，首字母B提示填Besides。 6．句意：掌握多种语言的人在国际就业市场中往往拥有优势。根据“They develop stronger communication skills”可知，会外语更利于求职和跨国工作，不定冠词an后接名词单数，搭配固定短语have an advantage，首字母a提示填advantage。 7．句意：这有助于你形成自己的观点。前文提到学习语言能换角度看事物、独立思考，不被动接受他人想法，结合首字母o，固定搭配one’s own表示“自己的”，填own。 Winter Activity The chilly weather can make you want to stay inside with a hot chocolate and a movie, but it’s important to keep your body a 1 . The NHS says young people should do 60 minutes of exercise a day-even when the weather is terrible. Why is it important? Keeping moving in the colder months b 1 your body and mind. “Exercise boosts your mood, helps you sleep better, and keeps you strong and healthy all year round,” says Dr Mark Cox. Why is it good for you? Spending time outside increases the levels of vitamin D in your body, which helps your bones stay s 1 . Exercising can also improve your memory and concentration. It is great fun when you do it with friends. Playing a team sport helps you work on s 2 like problem-solving and decision-making. You are also more likely to stick with a sport if you’re doing it with your friends. Forming good habits of r 3 exercise can help you stay fit and healthy. Where to begin Before you go outside and start exercising, it’s important to be p 1 . “Wear warm clothes you can move in-layers are your friend,” says Dr. Cox. “Try to warm up indoors with light jogging and stretches, and always tell an adult where you’re going. If it’s icy or very wet, choose a good place to exercise.” Don’t w 2 if you don’t know what to do. According to Dr. Cox, anything goes. Pick something fun and start small. Wrap up warm and go for a walk with a friend, or kick a football around. 【答案】1．active/ctive 2．benefits/enefits 3．strong/trong 4．skills/kills 5．regular/egular 6．prepared/repared 7．worry/orry 【导语】本文围绕寒冷天气下的运动展开，介绍了运动对身心的益处、户外锻炼的注意事项，帮助读者了解运动的重要性。 1．句意：寒冷的天气会让你想待在室内，喝热巧克力、看电影，但保持身体活跃很重要。固定搭配：keep your body active保持身体活跃，首字母a对应active。 2．句意：在寒冷的月份坚持运动有益于你的身心。后文讲运动的各种好处，主语是动名词短语Keeping moving，谓语用一般现在时单数，首字母b对应benefits，意为“有益于”。 3．句意：多出门活动能提升体内的维生素D水平，这有助于维持骨骼强健。前文提到维生素D的作用，常识中维生素D有助于骨骼健康、强壮。stay strong保持强壮，首字母s对应strong。 4．句意：参加团队运动能帮你培养解决问题、做决定这类技能。后文problem-solving and decision-making都属于能力技能，此处指多种技能，要用名词复数，首字母s对应skills。 5．句意：养成规律锻炼的好习惯能帮你保持健康体魄。前文提到“和朋友一起运动更容易坚持”，这里强调养成“规律运动”的好习惯。首字母r对应regular。 6．句意：出门开始锻炼前，做好准备很重要。后文提到“穿保暖的衣服、热身、告诉成年人去向”，这些都是“提前准备”的建议。固定搭配：be prepared做好准备，首字母p对应prepared。 7．句意：不知道该做什么也别担心。后文Dr. Cox说“anything goes”，是在安慰不知道做什么的人，因此这里表达“别担心”。祈使句否定形式Don’t + 动词原形，首字母w对应worry。 Right after I finished acting school, I got a short-term job with a traveling theater company. The pay was very low and the company only gave us one meal a day. For the rest, we had to f 1 ourselves. We bought cheap food from convenience stores and prepared it in our hotel rooms. Our first performance place was a large resort (度假村). The staff treated us badly from the very beginning. At dinner, they even r 2 to provide us with forks or knives while our only one hot meal of the day turned cold on the table. It was a difficult time. When we arrived at our second place, the Valencia Ballroom in York, our first t 3 was to practice the show again for the new stage. While we were practicing, I saw someone setting a table. I began to w 4 . It was the middle of the day, which meant they were preparing lunch for us. But if we had lunch, we would not get a hot dinner. We were really expecting that hot meal. It was time to eat. The table was beautifully set. The sandwiches were big. There were also lots of potato chips and cold drinks. It all looked so nice. After the meal, I pulled the headwaiter to the c 5 of the room and told him quietly that we would prefer to have our one meal be dinner. He told me dinner would be at six o’clock. Then he added that the “one meal a day” rule in our contract (合同) was u 6 . He promised to offer us both lunch and dinner every day for the whole time we performed there. We returned at six for dinner, feeling t 7 for the headwaiter’s kindness, but also a little unsure because it still seemed too good to be true. Again, we saw our table beautifully set. Our waiter was cheerful and sang to us. He filled our water glasses, took our coffee orders, and even brought us dessert. At the end, we tried to take our plates to the kitchen. The headwaiter stopped us and explained, “This is enjoyable for us only if you let us do it right.” Since then, I have tried to live like them: enjoy your work by doing it well, treat people who have nothing to give you as kindly as you would treat a paying customer. 【答案】1．feed/eed 2．refused/efused 3．task/ask 4．wonder/onder 5．corner/orner 6．unfair/nfair 7．thankful/hankful 【导语】本文讲述了作者毕业后在巡回剧团工作时，经历了待遇不公的困境，又在约克的瓦伦西亚宴会厅受到了善意对待的故事，从中领悟到了职业态度与善意待人的道理。 1．句意：公司每天只提供一顿饭，其余的我们得自己养活自己。根据语境“公司只给一顿饭”和首字母f，固定搭配feed oneself表示“养活自己”，had to后接动词原形。 2．句意：晚餐时，他们甚至拒绝给我们提供刀叉，我们一天中唯一的一顿热饭就在桌上变凉了。根据语境“工作人员态度恶劣”和首字母r，固定搭配refuse to do sth.表示“拒绝做某事”，句子时态为一般过去时，故填refused。 3．句意：当我们到达第二个地点——约克的瓦伦西亚宴会厅时，我们的首要任务是为新舞台再次排练演出。根据语境“到达新地点后的首要事项”和首字母t，对应task（任务），first task表示“首要任务”。 4．句意：我开始想知道。根据语境“看到有人摆桌子，产生疑问”和首字母w，对应wonder（想知道），begin to后接动词原形。 5．句意：饭后，我把领班拉到房间的角落，轻声告诉他我们更希望这顿饭是晚餐。根据语境“拉到房间里的隐蔽位置说话”和首字母c，对应corner（角落）。 6．句意：然后他补充说，我们合同里的“一天一顿饭”规定是不公平的。根据语境“领班愿意为我们提供两顿饭，认为合同条款不合理”和首字母u，对应unfair（不公平的）。 7．句意：我们六点钟回来吃晚餐，既感激领班的善意，又有点不确定，因为这看起来好得令人难以置信。根据语境“受到善意对待的心情”和首字母t，对应thankful（感激的），feel thankful for表示“对……感激”。 Fill in the blanks with proper words  (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) Cloisonne is a traditional enamel (搪瓷) art of China. It has a long history, and its earliest records are from the Yuan Dynasty. However, this skill wasn’t i 1 by Chinese people. Historical records show that some local craftsmen from the Middle East were brought to China by the Mongol (蒙古) army. They introduced the skills they learned. These ideas soon m 2 with Chinese traditions and the new style showed both foreign and Chinese cultures at the same time. Later, cloisonne slowly became a new art form. There is a story about how the skill became p 3 nationwide. It’s said that a fire broke out in the palace in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty.

Then... After that... In the end...”详细描述了制作流程，故此处表示步骤，step“步骤”，为可数名词，由several可知，此处填复数形式steps。 6．句意：除了瓶子、盘子和碗之外，更多物品如花盆、灯和酒瓶也被制作出来。根据“more items such as flowerpots, lamps, and wine bottles were made”可知，此处表示“除……之外还有”，用介词besides，位于句首首字母大写。 7．句意：如今，景泰蓝几乎随处可见。根据后文“It is widely used in home decorations, jewelry, and even as gifts to the leaders of other countries”可知，景泰蓝应用范围很广，因此，everywhere“到处”符合语境。 Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words Writing a movie review is not only a nice opportunity to practice your writing skills, but also an opportunity to learn how to share your ideas clearly.

An hour later, it started to snow. L 1 , the snow did not slow down the train. However, about nine o’clock the next morning, the train stopped. They were amazed to see hundreds of cows crossing the rails in front of the train. “I can’t believe this! This country has modern railway, but the train must stop for a group of animals!” c 2 Tony, one of the passengers. The train driver told them he had no c 3 . The cows could damage the engine, so they had to wait until the cows moved across the rails. Three hours later, when the train went through the mountains in Wyoming, it stopped again. A man from the next station told the driver that the bridge across the valley wasn’t strong enough to s 4 the weight of the train, but another train would arrive in four hours. “We can’t stay here. We’ll get frozen to the bone in the snow!” shouted one of the passengers. “Yes, but it will take six hours to go on foot to the next station,” said the train driver’s assistant. “I have an idea,” said the train driver. “If the train moves at its top speed, the pressure on the bridge won’t be as great as it was when it was stationary (静止的).

The driver was not listening. “No, no, this is the best s 1 we have. The train’s leaving!” he shouted. The driver blew the whistle and the train went back along the rails about two kilometers.

These toys sold out quickly after they released on January 30, as the movie kept growing in popularity. Morgan Stanley, a top U.S. company, has named the Chinese toy company’s stock (股票) as one of its top picks. This isn’t the first time Pop Mart has done well with toys b 2 on a famous IP (成名的文创作品). Last year, the company made a lot of money with its Labubu toys. Labubu, a cute elf-like (精灵般的) character, has millions of fans. The s 3 of Labubu helped Pop Mart grow its sales outside the Chinese mainland. Experts at Morgan Stanley think Pop Mart is becoming an important partner for global IP owners to consider. This is a win-win (双赢的) strategy (策略). These companies can make more money and make their IPs more popular by selling toys. At the same time, the cooperation can attract new customers for Pop Mart. Pop Mart’s stock has r 1 by 441% over the past year; mostly due to the growing popularity of “blind-box” toys. Morgan Stanley expects Pop Mart’s growth to continue this year with its products s 2 well. The Ne Zha toys are being sold on platforms like Xianyu for as much as 400 yuan an item, much h 3 than the 69 yuan retail price (零售价). Pop Mart has reportedly increased production to m 4 the high demand (需求). Similarly, Labubu toys are still in short supply and fans have to pay extra money to buy one. But prices have gone down as Pop Mart increases production. As of June 2024, Pop Mart had 374 stores and 2,189 vending machines (自动售货机) on the Chinese mainland. It also has 85 stores and 143 vending machines in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and other markets. Shaped by the machine New research shows that AI tools like ChatGPT might make our ideas less original (独特的). In 2024, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology did an e 1 with over 50 university students. They asked the students to write essays on questions like “Must our achievements benefit others in order to make us truly happy?” Some students could only rely on their own brains, others could s 2 online resources, while some were allowed to use ChatGPT. The results showed that those ChatGPT users showed less brain activity than either of the other groups. They gave nearly the same answers and 80% couldn’t remember the details in their essays. In 2025, researchers at Cornell University published a study showing s 3 results. It included Indian and US participants; no matter where they were from, AI users’ answers were more Western. They said their favorite food was pizza and their favorite holiday was Christmas. Ethan Molick, a professor of information science, said AI could cause people to lose their c 4 in their writing. He compared AI to a teacher who keeps saying, “this is the better version”, behind your back. Max Kumin Ski, a human-computer interaction researcher from the US, a 5 that when people use AI, they gradually stop thinking for themselves and follow its suggestions. Over time, this makes their work less original. AI tools can bring convenience, but they can also gradually w 6 people’s ability to think independently and their unique expression if we rely on them too heavily. Use AI w 7 rather than letting it take the place of our own thoughts. Only by keeping our own thinking alive can we make AI a helpful tool rather than a barrier to our original ideas. 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。 A child and a man were walking on the beach when the child found a shell and held it to his ear. Suddenly he heard strange, low, musical sounds. These sounds seemed to be from another world and the child listened to them with w 1 . Then the man said that the child heard nothing strange, and that the shell caught a range of sounds too faint for human ears. What amazed the child was not a new world, but the unnoticed music of the old. Some such experience as this lies in store for us when we begin the study of literature. Let a little song appeal to the ear, or a great book to the heart, and we draw a new world, a world of dreams and magic. To enter and enjoy this new world, we need to love literature, and make an effort to e 2 it. That means trying to make clear what the writer wants to say and the meaning hidden in the book. Behind every book is a man, behind the man is the race, and behind the race are the natural and social environments. We must know all these, if the book is to speak its whole message. In a word, we have now reached a point where we wish to enjoy and understand literature. The first step is to determine some of its significant qualities. The first quality of literature is its description of truth and beauty. Some truth and beauty remain unnoticed until a sensitive human soul brings them to our a 3 , noticing the small details that others often overlook. A hundred men may pass a field and see only d 4 grass; but a poet stops, looks deeper, sees life and beauty, and writes, “Yesterday’s flowers am I.” The second quality of literature is its appeal to our imagination. Its attraction lies more in what it awakens in us than what it says. When Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus asks in the presence of Helen, “Was this the face that launched a thousand ships?” he opens a door which leads us to a new world, a world of love, beauty and heroism. The third quality of literature, coming out of the other two, is its permanence (永恒性). To a 1 this, it should contain two elements: universal interest and personal style. Good literature reflects the most basic of human n 2 —love and hate, joy and sadness, fear and hope. It also takes on a personal style—no writer can describe human life without reflecting his own life and experiences. In summary, literature is the expression of life in forms of truth and beauty, the r 3 of man’s thoughts and feelings, and the history of the human soul. Have you ever traveled abroad? Two Frenchmen, Voisot, 26 and Humblot, 27, recently did. They traveled from their hometown in France to Shanghai. While this may sound like an ordinary trip, the two made headlines because they c 1 it almost entirely (完全地) on foot. The young couple set off in September 2024. They walked around 45 kilometers a day and rested every five or seven days. After crossing 16 countries, they finally reached the Bund on February 7. Tired but h 2 , the two hugged each other by the Huangpu River. “We’re having a hard time believing it’s real, that we’ve done all this on foot,” said Voisot. “We weren’t sure we would m 3 it, but we told ourselves we’d try it out.” Voisot and Humblot have known each other since they were ten years old. They went to secondary school and university together. One night after work, they asked each other what they would do if they could do anything. “When we talked about a t 4 , China came up quickly,” said Humblot. “But we b 5 care deeply about climate change. We wanted to avoid flying, and then we had this slightly crazy idea of walking all the way.” Of course, the journey was no walk in the park. Voisot and Humblot faced lots of challenges. There were “very hard” winters, and they had to cross a desert in Uzbekistan. Still, their strong w 6 kept them going. Now that they’ve reached Shanghai, will Voisot and Humblot simply pack up and head home? Not quite. The two have come up with an even c 7 idea. “Now that we’ve hit the ocean, why don’t we take a boat and head east to the United States?” said Humblot. “Then we could walk across North America, cross the Atlantic and walk back home, making a full circle!” Most of us like living near other people in a community. Why? Early humans lived in large groups called tribes (部落) . Tribes were necessary to keep people alive. People in tribes shared food and kept each other safe. As a result, our brains are hard to connect with other people. Being part of a community——a modern kind of tribe——i 1 our health and happiness in many ways. Studies show that people who are less connected survey in the United Kingdom found that nearly ten million people said they often felt lonely. That’s one in six people in the whole country. In fact, loneliness is i 2 year-on-year by about 1.9 percent around the world. When we are lonely, we feel stressed. Stress can lead to health problems such as heart disease and weight gain, experts say. A study in 2013 showed that having few social connections is w 3 for your health than smoking cigarettes. Being in a community has many positive effects. If we are sick, close social connections help us get better faster. And they help us sleep better, too. One study showed that being part of a community gives you a 50 percent c 4 of living longer. People who have good social connections do better at school. They are also more e 5 at work and keep their jobs longer. There are several ways we can get more of the positive effects from our communities. Using Next-door, a neighborhood social networking app, is one way. For example, Joan in Spain used Next-door to tell neighbors that he needed help. He wanted to make a movie. Over forty neighbors volunteered to help. Joan’s neighbors learned new skills while they were working t 6 . They became good friends, too. Dr. Emma who studies the effects of social connections says there are other ways people can connect in their community. These include getting a pet and meeting other pet owners, or taking a class and learning something new. In conclusion, it might take effort, but the a 7 of making connections in your community are worth it. Communities make us feel good and help us deal with the problem of loneliness. Connect with your community today. Fill in the blanks with proper words（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） The Value of Language Learning Nowadays, AI language tools are everywhere. People might w 1 if learning a language is still necessary. After all, why spend time learning a new language when AI can translate anything in a second? However, learning a language is still worth it. While using AI tools can make life easier, it can’t completely r 2 the experience of learning a language. That is to say, AI can help you learn a language, but it cannot take its place. So why is speaking foreign languages still important today? In the first place, speaking foreign languages allows you to connect with different cultures. When you speak someone’s native language, you can b 3 understand their humor, values, and hidden social rules — things AI often cannot understand. For example, when Chinese people ask “Have you eaten yet?”, it is usually a warm g 4 rather than a real question about food. AI can translate the sentence, but it can never fully understand the care and kindness behind it. B 5 , speaking more than one language is a powerful skill for your career. Multilingual (能说多种语言的) people often have an a 6 in the international job market. They develop stronger communication skills, which help them work well with people from other countries. Last but not least, language learning opens your mind. When you learn a language, you learn to look at things in different ways. It helps you form your o 7 opinions. Instead of being told what to think, you can actively read, listen, speak, and think for yourself. In a word, the benefits of language learning go far beyond mere words. They shape how you connect with the world. Winter Activity The chilly weather can make you want to stay inside with a hot chocolate and a movie, but it’s important to keep your body a 1 . The NHS says young people should do 60 minutes of exercise a day-even when the weather is terrible. Why is it important? Keeping moving in the colder months b 1 your body and mind. “Exercise boosts your mood, helps you sleep better, and keeps you strong and healthy all year round,” says Dr Mark Cox. Why is it good for you? Spending time outside increases the levels of vitamin D in your body, which helps your bones stay s 1 . Exercising can also improve your memory and concentration. It is great fun when you do it with friends. Playing a team sport helps you work on s 2 like problem-solving and decision-making. You are also more likely to stick with a sport if you’re doing it with your friends. Forming good habits of r 3 exercise can help you stay fit and healthy. Where to begin Before you go outside and start exercising, it’s important to be p 1 . “Wear warm clothes you can move in-layers are your friend,” says Dr. Cox. “Try to warm up indoors with light jogging and stretches, and always tell an adult where you’re going. If it’s icy or very wet, choose a good place to exercise.” Don’t w 2 if you don’t know what to do. According to Dr. Cox, anything goes. Pick something fun and start small. Wrap up warm and go for a walk with a friend, or kick a football around. Right after I finished acting school, I got a short-term job with a traveling theater company. The pay was very low and the company only gave us one meal a day. For the rest, we had to f 1 ourselves. We bought cheap food from convenience stores and prepared it in our hotel rooms. Our first performance place was a large resort (度假村). The staff treated us badly from the very beginning. At dinner, they even r 2 to provide us with forks or knives while our only one hot meal of the day turned cold on the table. It was a difficult time. When we arrived at our second place, the Valencia Ballroom in York, our first t 3 was to practice the show again for the new stage. While we were practicing, I saw someone setting a table. I began to w 4 . It was the middle of the day, which meant they were preparing lunch for us. But if we had lunch, we would not get a hot dinner. We were really expecting that hot meal. It was time to eat. The table was beautifully set. The sandwiches were big. There were also lots of potato chips and cold drinks. It all looked so nice. After the meal, I pulled the headwaiter to the c 5 of the room and told him quietly that we would prefer to have our one meal be dinner. He told me dinner would be at six o’clock. Then he added that the “one meal a day” rule in our contract (合同) was u 6 . He promised to offer us both lunch and dinner every day for the whole time we performed there. We returned at six for dinner, feeling t 7 for the headwaiter’s kindness, but also a little unsure because it still seemed too good to be true. Again, we saw our table beautifully set. Our waiter was cheerful and sang to us. He filled our water glasses, took our coffee orders, and even brought us dessert. At the end, we tried to take our plates to the kitchen. The headwaiter stopped us and explained, “This is enjoyable for us only if you let us do it right.” Since then, I have tried to live like them: enjoy your work by doing it well, treat people who have nothing to give you as kindly as you would treat a paying customer. Fill in the blanks with proper words  (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) Cloisonne is a traditional enamel (搪瓷) art of China. It has a long history, and its earliest records are from the Yuan Dynasty. However, this skill wasn’t i 1 by Chinese people. Historical records show that some local craftsmen from the Middle East were brought to China by the Mongol (蒙古) army. They introduced the skills they learned. These ideas soon m 2 with Chinese traditions and the new style showed both foreign and Chinese cultures at the same time. Later, cloisonne slowly became a new art form. There is a story about how the skill became p 3 nationwide. It’s said that a fire broke out in the palace in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty. While many precious things were destroyed, one enamel vase s 4 and shone brightly. Officials were amazed and sent it to the emperor (皇帝). He valued it very much and ordered all the craftsmen in the capital to learn the method. However, creating a single piece of cloisonne isn’t an easy job. It takes weeks or even months as the process has several s 5 . First, copper (铜) is shaped into items like vases, jars, and bowls. Then thin metal wires are put on it to make designs. After that, colored enamel is added. In the end, after polishing (抛光), the rough surface becomes smooth and shiny like gold. During the Ming Dynasty, the craft kept improving. B 6 bottles, plates, and bowls, more items such as flowerpots, lamps, and wine bottles were made. Today, cloisonne can still be found almost e 7 . It is widely used in home decorations, jewelry, and even as gifts to the leaders of other countries. This traditional craft shows not only the wisdom of Chinese people but also the fruit of cultural exchange. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words Writing a movie review is not only a nice opportunity to practice your writing skills, but also an opportunity to learn how to share your ideas clearly. It is your way of showing your opinion on a movie and helping others c 1 the best movie. Here are some tips on writing a movie review. ✧Watch the movie more than once It will allow you to get a better perspective (观点) on different aspects. The first time you watch the movie, you will surely be lost in the story and pay attention to the c 1 , who could be smart, mean, funny...The second time, you can pay attention to other things. And you can write down what you notice, as it will help you write a nice movie review. ✧Establish your opinion. Film reviewers should have well-informed ideas about the movies they tackle. Use evidence from the film, like characterization or scene descriptions, to support and p 1 your ideas of good film-making or plot holes. To round out your review, compare the film with others in the style with s 2 themes or events. If the filmmaker mainly makes films from the same style, draw comparisons between the movie you’re reviewing and their other works. ✧Talk about acting. A 1 spoilers (剧透) are strictly forbidden, and analyzing the performances becomes the only way to discuss the movie’s quality. Acting is the one element that carries the emotional weight of a film. Viewers may forget a plot twist, but they will remember how a performance made them feel. If you describe the actors’ emotional expressions, the tension in their voices, or the subtle gestures they use, you can give your audience a real sense of the movie’s quality without ruining any surprises. ✧Other movie details. Watching the movie twice will help you spot some details you can describe and talk about in your movie review. For example, you can talk about the special effects, music or l 1 . Take a look into how the movie was s 2 and directed and do not shy away from sharing your opinion on these details, too. How to Wake Up Without an Alarm The perfect way to wake up would be naturally, with no alarms. This can be achieved by making use of your body clock (生物钟). Brains have a 24-hour clock that tells when you first start to feel s 1 and when you wake up. Several practices can help adapt (调整) the body clock and make it p 2 to get up each morning without an alarm. ● Keep to a sleep schedule (时刻表) Going to bed and getting up at the same time each day. Keep the same sleep schedule every day, i 1 weekends. Soon you should find that you wake up at about the same time each morning. ● Make sure you’re getting enough sleep If your sleep needs aren’t being met, you’re not going to find it easy to wake up naturally in the morning. Think about how you feel when your alarm goes off. Are you fully rested or do you lack energy (缺乏能量)? O 1 you’re getting enough sleep, you may find it easier to wake up at a set time each morning. ● Make use of the power of morning light Morning sunlight helps the body coordinate(协调) its clock. Most experts recommend getting at l 1 30 minutes of daylight every morning. This helps to establish a sleep-wake cycle. Over time, this helps you to r 2 your reliance (依赖) on an alarm. ●Dim (调暗) the lights before bed Too much light at night can disturb (扰乱) your body clock and make it more difficult to wake up early without an alarm. About two hours before bedtime, start dimming the lights and a 1 bright light from TVs, mobile phones and other screens. Almost everyone, including you and me, gives and r 1 advice whether they like it or not. No matter whether the advice is well-intentioned (出于善意的) or not, it can fall on deaf ears. One of the main reasons for this is control. When someone feels powerful, they are less likely to take advice because their ego (自我意识) gets in the way. Taking advice can make us feel less in control. Feelings like fear and anger also a 2 whether we listen. Here’s some advice we should always follow. Know yourself. By knowing who you are, you can make wise choices about what you want out of life. It e 3 you to be wise about your goals and dreams to live life with purpose. Learn something new every day. You will be a more interesting person if you are a lifelong l 4 . Learn a new language, a new skill or even just a simple piece of knowledge. Read. For starters, reading improves your comprehension (理解力) and your focus duration. No one ever regrets reading too much. Don’t compare yourself with others. If you want to analyze yourself, compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not with anyone else. Be happy. Thinking that if you only had “something” you’d be happy will only let you down in the end. H 1 comes from within. And happy people smile more, which lowers stress and makes you appear more competent (能胜任的). There is no need to rush. When you are not sure about something, say, “Let me think about that.” You will have time to consider your options (选项). You are also letting the person who asked know that you are taking them s 2 . Hang out with people who inspire (激励) you. Recent research has p 3 that we end up like the five people we hang out with most. Be kind and learn to forgive. Don’t criticize (批评) others or keep thinking about the past. It doesn’t help anyone. These are just some of the many bits of advice that can help us live better lives. The detective Sherlock Holmes is one of the most f 1 characters in English fiction. He is the leading role in a collection of novels and short stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet, was published in 1887. Over the following 40 years, Conan Doyle wrote 56 short stories and four novels telling how Sherlock Holmes solves crimes (犯罪案件) such as murder and t 2 . Most of the stories take place in and around London. Sherlock Holmes lives in an apartment at number 221B Baker Street. Holmes’s good friend, Doctor John Watson, is often with him when he is trying to solve a crime. In fact, Conan Doyle wrote most of the stories in the words of Doctor Watson—Watson watches his friend at work and tells readers what h 3 . Sherlock Holmes is a brilliant thinker. He tries his best to look for evidence (证据), often using a magnifying glass (放大镜) to look c 4 for clues (线索). He notices small things that other people do not see. He thinks logically about the evidence and uses his great knowledge of science to get a result. Holmes has other skills, too. In some of the stories, he dresses himself and pretends to be other people in order to get information. He is also g 5 at boxing and using a sword (剑), and these abilities always help him in dangerous situations. The mysteries that Holmes solves in the stories are all extraordinary. In The Speckled Band, he saves a woman from b 6 killed by a snake sent by an enemy, in The Red-Headed League, he stops a bank robbery and in The Hound of the Baskervilles, he discovers how a man was frightened to death by a terrifying ‘ghost’ dog. The Sherlock Holmes stories have been p 7 for over a hundred years. They have been retold in a large number of films, plays and TV shows, with many different actors playing the role of the great detective. 首字母填空，每格一词。 In the evening, our adventurers left San Francisco to travel to New York. An hour later, it started to snow. L 1 , the snow did not slow down the train. However, about nine o’clock the next morning, the train stopped. They were amazed to see hundreds of cows crossing the rails in front of the train. “I can’t believe this! This country has modern railway, but the train must stop for a group of animals!” c 2 Tony, one of the passengers. The train driver told them he had no c 3 . The cows could damage the engine, so they had to wait until the cows moved across the rails. Three hours later, when the train went through the mountains in Wyoming, it stopped again. A man from the next station told the driver that the bridge across the valley wasn’t strong enough to s 4 the weight of the train, but another train would arrive in four hours. “We can’t stay here. We’ll get frozen to the bone in the snow!” shouted one of the passengers. “Yes, but it will take six hours to go on foot to the next station,” said the train driver’s assistant. “I have an idea,” said the train driver. “If the train moves at its top speed, the pressure on the bridge won’t be as great as it was when it was stationary (静止的). And we can get across before the bridge breaks.” Tony was n 1 . The bridge could break before the train reached the other side! He could not understand why the other passengers seemed to think this was a good idea. ‘Isn’t there a better idea? Perhaps…?” he began to ask the driver. The driver was not listening. “No, no, this is the best s 1 we have. The train’s leaving!” he shouted. The driver blew the whistle and the train went back along the rails about two kilometers. Then he blew the whistle again. The train moved faster and faster as it came closer to the bridge. In what seemed like minutes, or maybe it was only a few s 2 , they were over on the other side, just in time to see the bridge fall into the deep valley behind them. 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。 Not many girls try their hand at designing rockets, and even fewer female rocket engineers get into space. Wang Haoze, however, has done both. Wang was born in Luanping (滦平), Hebei, in 1990. As a student, she worked hard and did well in almost e 1 . In her zhongkao exams, she scored second highest in her county (县). Wang later entered Southeast University (东南大学). There, she continued to s 2 . She led not only in the classroom but also on the track; she was a regular top finisher in long-distance races. Discovering unexplored paths could be exciting, but it wasn’t always a walk in the park. Wang once complained about all the struggles. Her professor, Gu Fan, stepped in with e 3 words. Under Professor Gu’s influence, Wang kept breaking into unknown spaces. After graduation, she began her career as a rocket engine designer. Space science was c 4 new to Wang. However, she was eager to learn and use her new knowledge to solve problems. It felt like an exciting game. Within a few months, she had d 5 a new product. It won high praise from a famous expert. Over time, Wang became a key member of her team. Wang never thought about flying into space u 6 May 2018. That was when China began selecting its third generation of astronauts. She felt it was a precious chance and signed up. After three rounds of tests, Wang, along with 17 men, stood out from 2,500 applicants. At the Astronaut Center, Wang set out on another journey into the unknown. She faced countless c 7 but never once considered giving up. On October 30, Wang and two other astronauts blasted off into space aboard the Shenzhou-19 spaceship.
