一、短文填空

阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词或括号内单词的正确形式。

My grandmother is 80 years old now. She often tells me stories about her past. She says that memories are the most     1     (value) things in her life.

She     2     (grow) up in a small village. Life was hard at that time, but she still has many happy     3     (memory). She remembers     4     (play) with her brothers and sisters in the fields. She also remembers her mother     5     (cook) delicious food for the family.

Now my grandmother lives with us. She often looks at old photos and     6     (remind) herself of the old days. Sometimes she feels sad because many of her old friends     7     (pass) away. But she says that we should not be afraid of sad memories. Instead, we should learn     8     them.

I have learned a lot from my grandmother. She has taught me     9     (cherish) every moment in life. I will always remember the time I spent with her. Those memories will stay in my heart     10     (forever).

 

Have you ever thought about improving your writing? Here are some basic skills to help you.

Make good word     11     (choice). When you’re not sure which word is the right one for a sentence, check a dictionary. This helps to express your ideas more     12     (proper).

Read     13     (aloud). It’s easier to find spelling, word usage, and grammar mistakes by reading out loud. Without doubt doing this not only helps you find problems but also makes your writing     14     (good).

Make a checklist. You need     15     (check) that there’s an attractive beginning, and that every point is explained. Check if     16     (it) ending is clear and to the point.

Consider your readers. Think about     17     you are writing for. Use clear and simple language to create a more     18     (enjoy) reading experience for your readers.

    19     (review) your writing. This helps you find what you did well and where you can do better.

Becoming a better writer      20      (take) time. Be patient and stick to the writing skills above. You can make it!

 

根据语境或所给词的正确形式填空（每空一词）

Emotions and memory are closely     21     (connect). When we feel     22     (excite) or happy, the brain releases (释放) chemicals that help fix memories. That’s why we clearly remember our     23     (win) moments or a surprising birthday party.

    24     the other hand, strong fear can also burn events into memory—people often remember     25     

(exact) where they were during big surprising news.

To use this in study, try to make learning     26     (enjoy). Connect boring lists with funny pictures or stories. The     27     (happy) the brain feels, the better it stores.

But too much stress does the     28     (oppose)—it harms memory. So balance is key.

A good tip: before memorizing, take three deep     29     (breath) to relax. Then focus. You     30     (sure) improve step by step.

Memory Champion—a student’s story

Fifteen-year-old Tony took part in a national memory competition and won second place. He can memorize a 50-digit number in under a minute. His secret? He turns numbers into vivid pictures. For example, “34” becomes “a cat (3 looks like an ear, 4 like a flag)” and he links them into a crazy story.

He practises 30 minutes daily, not for prizes only, but because it builds confidence. “Memory is a muscle(肌肉),” he says. “Train it, and it grows.”

His advice to students: start small—memorize a shopping list or a poem, and turn boring data into funny images.

My name is Li Hua. I am a Grade Nine student. I have many memories, but one of them is very special to me.

When I was in Grade Seven, I was very poor at English. I got a low score in the first exam and I felt very

sad. I wanted to give up. But my English teacher, Miss Wang, didn’t give up on me. She stayed after school to help me every day. She told me, “Don’t give up. You can do it if you keep trying.”

With her help, I improved little by little. In the final exam of Grade Seven, I got an A．I was so happy and thankful. That experience taught me that we should never give up, even when things are hard.

Now I am in Grade Nine. Whenever I face difficulties, I think of Miss Wang and her words. Her encouragement is one of my most precious memories.

A “memory box” project is popular in some schools. Students fill a small box with objects that remind them of a happy moment: a ticket, a shell, a dried flower, a friend’s note.

Chen Yu made one about her primary-school graduation. Inside was a group photo, a broken eraser her deskmate gave her, and a paper crane. “Whenever I feel down before exams, I open it. It reminds me how far I’ve come,” she said.

Teachers say the project helps students value small happiness and reduce stress. It also trains their descriptive writing when they explain each item.

41．What do students put in their memory boxes?  

                                       

42．Why did Chen Yu include a paper crane?  

                                       

43．When does Chen Yu open her memory box?
