第一次月考复习之阅读填表10篇 （南京专用） 阅读并根据下面的短文，在表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。(1-9每空一词，10题词数不限) Some people find reality TV (真人秀) entertaining, but others think it’s over the top. What you need to know: ● Reality TV shows are typically shows that do not have written scripts and star regular people instead of professional actors. ● One report found that nearly half of all TV shows watched in the US are reality shows. ● Reality television shows are cheaper to produce than traditional scripted TV shows. ● A recent study found that in 2024, 33% of Americans ages 18 to 29 watch reality TV. There are so many kinds of reality TV shows from competitions like The Great British Baking Show and Project Runway to business programs like Shark Tank to animal shows like The Dog Whisperer. The genre (体裁) first came to us audiences in the 1990s and skyrocketed in popularity in the 2000s. Today, reality TV is a multibillion-dollar industry and a major part of popular culture. Some people say there are too many shows, though, and complain that they feature fake or exaggerated (夸大的) storylines and situations in an effort to win audiences. Other people think they’re still entertaining. What do you think? Has reality television gone too far? Yes—it’s just so fake. There’s nothing real about reality television. These shows may not have actors or scripts, but they’re still fake—so what’s the point in watching? Many shows place an unhealthy emphasis (强调的) on money and beauty, which makes viewers feel bad about their own lives and can harm their mental health. Competition shows can also promote (促进) the idea that it’s OK to do anything in order to win, which is a terrible lesson for viewers. Finally, it's no fun to turn everyday hobbies like baking or crafting into competitions. People should enjoy those hobbies for the sake of doing them, not so they can win a contest or get on television. No—it’s all in good fun Reality TV is harmless entertainment that viewers know isn’t “real”. It still gives people something to bond (与……紧密联系) over when they talk about the latest episode or host watch parties. There are plenty of reality shows that are good-natured and not mean. Even competition programs can teach viewers that getting ahead often requires hard work, discipline (自律), and sticking to a goal. Reality shows can also demonstrate (证明) the value of teamwork and cooperation. Finally, reality shows like kids’ baking or crafting competitions can give participants (参与者) a creative outlet and encourage viewers to take up a new hobby or find a new passion. Has reality television gone too far?

People should enjoy those hobbies for the sake of doing them, not so they can win a contest or get on television.”可知，最后，把烘焙或手工艺等日常爱好变成比赛是没有乐趣的。人们应该为了享受这些爱好而去做它们，而不是为了赢得比赛或上电视，即真人秀把人们的爱好或激情变成了比赛，而不是人们可以简单“享受”的事情。故填enjoy。 10．根据文章最后提出的问题“What is your idea of reality shows?”可知，这里需要填写读者对真人秀的看法，这是一个开放性的问题，答案不唯一。故填I think reality shows have both good and bad sides. 阅读短文，根据所读内容，在文章后的小题的空格里填入一个恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只能填1个单词。 Friends bring joy and fun to our life.

Do you feel guilty (内疚的) when you have to tell people that you can’t help them? And do you often say “yes” while your true answer is “no”? If you answered yes, you may be a “people-pleaser”. Being friendly and helpful is a good thing. It helps you build lasting friendships. However, going too far—trying to please others even at the cost of your own happiness—can leave you feeling stressed. Luckily, there are some steps that you can take to stop being a people-pleaser. To start with, it’s important to create “boundaries (边界)” in your life. Be clear about what you really like to do. You can also tell others that they can only come to you during a certain period of time. When someone asks you for help, tell him or her that it takes you some time to think about it. Use this time to ask yourself: Do you really want to do this? How much time will it take? By giving yourself a few minutes, you’ll be better able to make a decision. Some people always try to please others because they have little confidence in themselves. They place a low value on their own happiness. In this case, try positive self-talk. Remind yourself that you have dreams, too. You don’t have to give away your time and energy to do things that don’t bring you joy. Making a sudden and big change can be hard, but you can break a huge task up into pieces. You may, for example, text to say no. Then, go straight to the person and say no. Practice this in less difficult situations first, such as talking to a salesperson or ordering at a restaurant. Then try refusing your friends or relatives. Stopping being a people-pleaser doesn’t mean you have to give up being kind and helpful. You can still do good things—but don’t take away your own happiness. People-pleasers Definition People who try to please others even if they are 1 . ☆People who find it hard to turn down others’ requests. ☆People who feel ashamed and bad because of doing nothing 2 ☆People who 3 with others even though they think differently.

What can you learn from this passage? 9 【答案】1．unwilling/unhappy 2．helpful 3．agree 4．themselves 5．Steps/Advice/Tips 6． allowed 7．Spend 8．easier 9．We shouldn’t please others at the cost of our own happiness. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了什么是“讨好型人格”，这种性格带来的负面影响，以及如何通过设定界限、给自己思考时间、建立自信和从小事做起等步骤来改变这种性格，同时保持善良和乐于助人。 1．根据第一段中“And do you often say ‘yes’ while your true answer is ‘no’?（并且你是否经常在真实答案是‘不’的时候说‘是’？）”以及第二段中“trying to please others even at the cost of your own happiness（甚至以牺牲自己的幸福为代价去取悦别人）”可知，讨好型人格的人即使自己不情愿或不开心也会试图取悦他人。故填unwilling/unhappy。 2．根据第一段中“Do you feel guilty when you have to tell people that you can’t help them?（当你不得不告诉别人你无法帮助他们时，你会感到内疚吗？）”可知，讨好者会因为没有提供帮助而感到羞愧和糟糕，doing nothing helpful意为“没有提供任何帮助”，不定代词后接形容词作后置定语。故填helpful。 3．根据第一段中“And do you often say ‘yes’ while your true answer is ‘no’?（并且你是否经常在真实答案是‘不’的时候说‘是’？）”可知，讨好者即使想法不同也会同意别人，say yes相当于agree with。故填agree。 4．根据第二段中“trying to please others even at the cost of your own happiness—can leave you feeling stressed.（甚至以牺牲自己的幸福为代价去取悦别人——会让你感到压力。）”可知，讨好者最终可能会给自己带来很大的压力，put stress on oneself意为“给自己施加压力”。故填themselves。 5．根据第二段中“Luckily, there are some steps that you can take to stop being a people-pleaser.（幸运的是，你可以采取一些步骤来停止做一个讨好者。）”可知，表格该部分列举的是停止做讨好者的步骤或建议，且位于句首首字母需大写。故填Steps/Advice/Tips。 6．根据第三段中“You can also tell others that they can only come to you during a certain period of time.（你也可以告诉别人，他们只能在特定的时间段来找你。）”可知，告诉别人他们只被允许在特定时间来找你，be allowed to do sth.意为“被允许做某事”。故填allowed。 7．根据第四段中“tell him or her that it takes you some time to think about it.（告诉他或她你需要一些时间来考虑。）”可知，在回复别人和做最终决定之前花些时间思考，spend time doing sth.意为“花费时间做某事”，此处为祈使句，动词原形开头且首字母需大写。故填Spend。 8．根据第六段中“Practice this in less difficult situations first（首先在不那么困难的情况下练习这个）”可知，在更容易的情况下练习，less difficult相当于easier。故填easier。 9．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，但作答需依据原文，根据最后一段中“Stopping being a people-pleaser doesn’t mean you have to give up being kind and helpful. You can still do good things—but don’t take away your own happiness.（停止做一个讨好者并不意味着你必须放弃善良和乐于助人。你仍然可以做好事——但不要剥夺你自己的幸福。）”可知，我们不应该以牺牲自己的幸福为代价去取悦别人，或者我们可以在不剥夺自己幸福的前提下帮助他人。故可填We shouldn’t please others at the cost of our own happiness.

Japan High schools have dining rooms, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not hamburgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish and vegetables. Students take home a menu for the coming month with notes on nutrition value (营养价值). The class will get a prize if they have the fewest leftovers (剩饭) at the end of the month. United States A menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with potatoes or chicken, fruit and cookies. Children can get at least one-third of daily vitamin A, vitamin C, iron (铁), calcium (钙) and calories (卡路里) from their school lunch. Australia Hot dogs are traditional dishes in Australia school lunch menus. But as the country has a stronger focus on children’s health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus. Many schools have used a traffic light system (系统). The sale of red-labelled foods, including chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labelled foods such as sandwiches, icon and watermelon, however, are served every day. South Africa Most of South Africa’s schools do not offer meals at all. Classes end at 1:30 p.m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches. Fast food sells the best among the students. As more people begin to understand the fact that being too fat may cause different illnesses, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition.

Students around the world also have it. Let’s take a look! China  Military training in China usually teaches students things like standing at attention, goose-stepping (正步走) and folding a quilt. Some students say that it is not useful. But some students feel it encourages them to behave more independently and responsibly.

These activities help children work in a team and encourage them to work out problems together. For example, a group might have the task of climbing over a high wall. If even one person cannot climb over the wall, the whole group needs to do it again. So everyone must help each other and finish the task in groups. The UK  The UK pays attention to military training for students, especially college students. There are Officer Training Corps (军官训练团，OTC) in some universities. They offer chances to students to learn military skills like first aid, weapons (武器) training and radio communications. Students can make money by taking part in military exercises.

His most famous invention, the electric light bulb, lit up the whole world. But that wasn’t all—he also created the phonograph (an early music player) and the motion picture camera. Throughout his life, he invented more than 1,200 different things. Edison was born in Ohio in 1847. Surprisingly, he only attended school for two months. His mother taught him at home, but he was mainly self-educated. Even as a child, he loved performing experiments in his home. When Edison was 12 years old, he got his first job selling newspapers on a train. He loved science so much that he made a small laboratory in the train’s baggage car to do experiments during his free time. However, this job ended badly when he accidentally started a fire and was asked to leave. Later, Edison worked as a telegraph operator while still spending much time on inventions. His big break came in 1870 when he sold an invention called the stock-ticker for $40,000—a huge amount at that time. This money allowed him to build his first proper workshop. Edison had hearing problems - he was completely deaf in one ear and had difficulty hearing in the other. But he thought this was actually good because it helped him focus better on his work. He was known for working very hard, often 16 hours daily. Sometimes he became so interested in his work that his wife needed to tell him to eat and sleep. Thomas Edison died in 1931 at age 84, leaving behind inventions that continue to improve lives around the world.

What you need to know: ● Reality TV shows are typically shows that do not have written scripts and star regular people instead of professional actors. ● One report found that nearly half of all TV shows watched in the US are reality shows. ● Reality television shows are cheaper to produce than traditional scripted TV shows. ● A recent study found that in 2024, 33% of Americans ages 18 to 29 watch reality TV. There are so many kinds of reality TV shows from competitions like The Great British Baking Show and Project Runway to business programs like Shark Tank to animal shows like The Dog Whisperer. The genre (体裁) first came to us audiences in the 1990s and skyrocketed in popularity in the 2000s. Today, reality TV is a multibillion-dollar industry and a major part of popular culture. Some people say there are too many shows, though, and complain that they feature fake or exaggerated (夸大的) storylines and situations in an effort to win audiences. Other people think they’re still entertaining. What do you think? Has reality television gone too far? Yes—it’s just so fake. There’s nothing real about reality television. These shows may not have actors or scripts, but they’re still fake—so what’s the point in watching?

Competition shows can also promote (促进) the idea that it’s OK to do anything in order to win, which is a terrible lesson for viewers.

People should enjoy those hobbies for the sake of doing them, not so they can win a contest or get on television.

It still gives people something to bond (与……紧密联系) over when they talk about the latest episode or host watch parties. There are plenty of reality shows that are good-natured and not mean. Even competition programs can teach viewers that getting ahead often requires hard work, discipline (自律), and sticking to a goal.

Do you feel guilty (内疚的) when you have to tell people that you can’t help them? And do you often say “yes” while your true answer is “no”? If you answered yes, you may be a “people-pleaser”. Being friendly and helpful is a good thing. It helps you build lasting friendships. However, going too far—trying to please others even at the cost of your own happiness—can leave you feeling stressed. Luckily, there are some steps that you can take to stop being a people-pleaser. To start with, it’s important to create “boundaries (边界)” in your life. Be clear about what you really like to do. You can also tell others that they can only come to you during a certain period of time. When someone asks you for help, tell him or her that it takes you some time to think about it. Use this time to ask yourself: Do you really want to do this? How much time will it take? By giving yourself a few minutes, you’ll be better able to make a decision. Some people always try to please others because they have little confidence in themselves. They place a low value on their own happiness. In this case, try positive self-talk. Remind yourself that you have dreams, too. You don’t have to give away your time and energy to do things that don’t bring you joy. Making a sudden and big change can be hard, but you can break a huge task up into pieces. You may, for example, text to say no. Then, go straight to the person and say no. Practice this in less difficult situations first, such as talking to a salesperson or ordering at a restaurant. Then try refusing your friends or relatives. Stopping being a people-pleaser doesn’t mean you have to give up being kind and helpful. You can still do good things—but don’t take away your own happiness. People-pleasers Definition People who try to please others even if they are 1 . ☆People who find it hard to turn down others’ requests. ☆People who feel ashamed and bad because of doing nothing 2 ☆People who 3 with others even though they think differently.

So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school? Japan High schools have dining rooms, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not hamburgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish and vegetables. Students take home a menu for the coming month with notes on nutrition value (营养价值). The class will get a prize if they have the fewest leftovers (剩饭) at the end of the month. United States A menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with potatoes or chicken, fruit and cookies. Children can get at least one-third of daily vitamin A, vitamin C, iron (铁), calcium (钙) and calories (卡路里) from their school lunch. Australia Hot dogs are traditional dishes in Australia school lunch menus. But as the country has a stronger focus on children’s health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus. Many schools have used a traffic light system (系统). The sale of red-labelled foods, including chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labelled foods such as sandwiches, icon and watermelon, however, are served every day. South Africa Most of South Africa’s schools do not offer meals at all. Classes end at 1:30 p.m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches. Fast food sells the best among the students. As more people begin to understand the fact that being too fat may cause different illnesses, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition. Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge (粥) with vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots and tomatoes. Schools serve different foods in different 1 .

China  Military training in China usually teaches students things like standing at attention, goose-stepping (正步走) and folding a quilt. Some students say that it is not useful. But some students feel it encourages them to behave more independently and responsibly. The US  US schools don’t force (强迫) students to take military training. If children are interested in the military, they can attend military camps. These activities help children work in a team and encourage them to work out problems together. For example, a group might have the task of climbing over a high wall. If even one person cannot climb over the wall, the whole group needs to do it again. So everyone must help each other and finish the task in groups. The UK  The UK pays attention to military training for students, especially college students.

His most famous invention, the electric light bulb, lit up the whole world. But that wasn’t all—he also created the phonograph (an early music player) and the motion picture camera. Throughout his life, he invented more than 1,200 different things. Edison was born in Ohio in 1847. Surprisingly, he only attended school for two months. His mother taught him at home, but he was mainly self-educated. Even as a child, he loved performing experiments in his home. When Edison was 12 years old, he got his first job selling newspapers on a train. He loved science so much that he made a small laboratory in the train’s baggage car to do experiments during his free time. However, this job ended badly when he accidentally started a fire and was asked to leave. Later, Edison worked as a telegraph operator while still spending much time on inventions. His big break came in 1870 when he sold an invention called the stock-ticker for $40,000—a huge amount at that time. This money allowed him to build his first proper workshop. Edison had hearing problems - he was completely deaf in one ear and had difficulty hearing in the other. But he thought this was actually good because it helped him focus better on his work. He was known for working very hard, often 16 hours daily. Sometimes he became so interested in his work that his wife needed to tell him to eat and sleep. Thomas Edison died in 1931 at age 84, leaving behind inventions that continue to improve lives around the world.
