首字母填空三步走:
1.通读短文(对大意有个了解,而不是盲目的去做。学会跳读,对于不理解的地方可以暂时略过不去管它。)
2.认真分析,填写单词
(在了解大意的情况下,我们开始一边读一边做题。在阅读过程中,要注意上、下文的关系,对于生词可以根据上下文的意思进行猜测。)(留心找出关键词、短语或句子,还要结合所给首字母的提示,进行填写,并注意单词的正确形式。)
(1) 依据习惯用法与固定搭配进行填词:如【08年 和平】…W his help, the old man was safe. The boy thanked him very much. 从句意我们就知道是“在他的帮助下”, with his help.
(2) 依据语法知识进行填词:如【08年 和平】…It was a l earlier. 从句中的earlier可以看出它是比较级,我们应该会想到修饰形容词比较级有哪些词,前面有a,那肯定就是little.
(3) 依据常识的积累进行填词:如【08年 和平】…But it was too late. His friend was very angry. Mr. White said nothing but only one word “S .” Mr. White迟到了,他的朋友很生气,他什么都没说,只说了一个字“S .”我们根据常识肯定是向他的朋友道歉,所以肯定填sorry.
(4)依据逻辑推理与句意理解进行填词:如【08年 和平】One Sunday afternoon, Mr. White drove his new car to his friend’s house happily. He wanted to p his friend up at five and then went to see a new movie together. 根据句意,Mr. White高兴地开着车去他的朋友家,然后一起去看电影,我们可以进行逻辑推理,他肯定是去接他的朋友,所以填pick.
4. 细心检查
(检查填写的单词形式和意思是否合理,即是否与文章要求相符,有无句型结构及语法错误比如主语为第三人称单数时动词加s,动词的时态。)
Note:做好首字母填空要注意以下几点
1. 单词量。
很多学生做不好首字母填空很重要的一点原因是学过的单词没掌握。 每当看到一个首字母,脑子中应该迅速闪过好几个词,然后根据句意选择最合适的一个。或者反过来,用意义对单词,先看句子是什么意思,然后根据意思填出合适的单词。
2.平时注意积累词组、习惯用法和固定搭配。
(如果老师没带这你们整理的话, 我建议一人备个本子,自己整理,除了课本上的,平时你们考的卷子上易错的都整理到本子上, 平时常拿出来翻翻巩固一下,下次在遇到类似的就会很快想到)(这个最后我也会帮你们整理一份这学期的重点词组,因为我们没法生活在全英的环境中,所以学英语还是要多看多记)
3. 一定注意上下句的联系。
很多情况下。你要填的单词在上文或者下文出现过了,所以说试卷中不是没有答案,而是你要有一双发现答案的眼睛。还有一个情况是在一句话中,可能会出现反义词,也就是说你要填的单词是上文或下文中一个词的反义词。
4. 利用词性帮助判断。
根据上下文及该句判断词性, 再结合首字母确定该词的意思。(要有一定的句法知识)
5. 注意检查。
这里有个方法可以一试, 默读, 利用语感和自己的语法知识填空。如果读着不顺,就有可能有错误。

Over one third of them live in the three largest cities, namely Stockholm, Goteborg and Malmo. More than half of Sweden is c 3 with trees. It is one of the r 4 countries in the world. About 100 years ago Sweden became industrialized(工业化). Today less than one third of the people are f 5 .
Sweden is the country where the famous Nobel Prizes are awarded. Many people who have been to Stockholm, the c 6 of Sweden, must have visited the places where Nobel Prizes are awarded.
The first language of Sweden is Swedish. English is the first f 7 language in schools. Many middle-school students can s 8 two to three languages. Most of the Swedish people,men and women, o 9 and young, can speak English. So there is no p 10 to speak with them in English.

I still remember visiting Moscow. It is the capital of Russia, the b 1 country in the world. I went there w 2 my parents when I was eight years old. I lived and studied there for one year, I had some happy memories.
One of the most interesting things of that city was that t 3 were many dogs. Perhaps Russians l 4 dogs very much. You can see dogs here and there. Almost each of the families had a dog. I made friends with many Russian children w 5 I was living and studying there. They were all very nice. They had fair hair and fair skin. I played with them h 6 though I could only speak a little Russian at first. They were f 7 to me. The weather in Moscow was very cold. It snowed almost every in winter. The ground was always c 8 with a lot of snow. We often made s 9 together.
Now I am b 10 in China, but I miss them so much. I will never forget my happy memories of this visit to Moscow.

Before windows were used, old h 1 in Europe(欧洲)and Britain were very dark. Their great rooms were high w 2 only one hole in the roof(屋顶)to let the smoke o 3 from cooking fire. Later, people began to make the holes b 4 __ to have more light and air in their homes. The first English window was j 5 _ _ a small opening(口,孔)in the wall. It was cut long to let in as m 6 light as possible, and narrow to keep out the bad w 7 . But, more wind than light would c 8_ __ in if the window was cut long. This is why it was c 9 _ “The wind’s eye”. And the word “w 10 _” comes form two ancient(古代的)words for “wind” and “eye”.

Thirty years ago, I walked into your bakery and asked for some loaves(条) of bread to sell. At that time, I was 12 years old. A young lady s 1 me that day. She gave me five loaves and wished me good l 2 .
I took the loaves and went out to sell them. It t 3 me all day, but I sold them all. At the e 4 of the day, I had some money. I was the h 5 boy in the world as I walked home that evening.
The next day, I went to a bicycle shop. I paid a deposit(定金) on a new bicycle.. And then I started my next j 6 as a newspaper delivery() boy. Soon I c 7 pay the rest of the money for the bicycle and the bike was mine. I was so proud of m 8 !
Today I still work in the delivery business. I have a lot of trucks to send goods all over the country. I live in a beautiful house, but I don’t ride a bicycle these days. I drive a large nice car.
I don’t know e 9 that young lady was. But b 10 she gave me the start, I have become a successful man. I’d like to show my thanks to her.

Long ago, people used bells more t 1 __ they do today. The postmen used to ring a hand bell when they delivered letters. Fire engines had bell i 2_ of sirens(号笛). People who sold things came past houses, ringing a bell and shouting w 3 _ was for sale. Every village had its church bell to let people know it was t 4 to go to church.

Life gets noisier every day and very f 1 people can be free from noise of some kind or another. W 2 you live in the centre of a modern city or a village far away --- the chances that you will be disturbed by planes, cars, radios, etc. are almost everywhere. We seem to be used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely w 3 background music while they are working.
Tests have s 4 that total silence can be very frightening experiences. H 5 , some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their ears. The noise level in some places is far a 6 the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.
One recent report about noise said that a 7 a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their attention, only a sudden c 8 in the level of noise really affects people’s attention. It goes on to say that a background noise, which doesn’t change too much (music, for example) may even help people to pay attention.
People are testing ways to make less noise. There are even laws c 9 noise. We can’t
r 10 to the “ good old days ” of peace and quiet. But we can make less noise --- if we shout loudly enough about it

Someone says: “Time is money,” but I think time is e 1 __ more important than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can get it back. However, when time is g 2 _, it will never r 3 _ . That’s why we mustn’t waste time. It goes without saying that the t 4 _ is usually limited(有限的). Even a second is very important. We should make full use of our time to do s 5 useful. But it is a pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the i 6 of time. They spent their limited time smoking, drinking and p 7 _. They do not know that wasting time means wasting part of their own l 8_ _. In a word, we should save time. We shouldn’t l 9_ _ today’s work for tomorrow. Remember we have n 10 time to lose.

Andy was born in China 15 years ago.In 2005, she m 1 to the USA with her family.As a high school student,she has found many differences b 2 Chinese and Americans:
About money
1) Americans like to spend m 3 than they have,so many of them are always in debt(欠债).But Chinese usually spend less than they have, so many 0f them always have m 4 left in the bank.
2) The American kids themselves make their own money.Most Chinese kids always a 5 their parents for money.
3) Many American parents think there is n 6 need to send their children t0 an expensive university.It’s different in China.Many Chinese parents would do anything to send their children to expensive universities t 7 their family isn’t rich enough.
About school
1) Many American girls take part in sports,dancing and singing groups while many Chinese girls take part in study groups.
2) Many American students think that B is good while many Chinese students think that B is too b 8 .
About friends
Most American parents let their sons or daughters make friends by t 9 . They never ask them about their friends while Chinese parents usually enjoy knowing more about their children’s friends i 10 many different ways,and usually stop them from staying out too late with friends.

Do you have bright ideas? Ideas for inventions that c 1 the world or, at least, make life easier for somebody. P 2 we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea a real thing. Recently, there was a competition in a country, which e 3 young people to make their bright ideas come true. There were t 4_ groups in the contest: Group A was for school children under 16; Group B was for those o 5_ 16. And there were eleven prize-winners altogether.
Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was c 6_ “Sunshine Superman” by one newspaper writing about his design. When people study the weather, it’s important to be able to record the sunshine accurately(准确地,精确地). We need to know how many h 7_ of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders o _8 record direct (直接的) sunshine. Neil’s is more accurate and this is very i 9 for research into ways of using solar power(太阳能). Neil plans to keep inventing.
The ideas in the competition were so g 10 that we are surprised that the industry (工业界) doesn’t ask more school children for suggestions.

British teenagers can leave school at sixteen after taking their GCSE exams. They study for exams in as many as ten subjects, s 1 they have to work pretty hard! Today’s teens spend more time doing their homework than any teenagers in the past, s 2 for 2.5 – 3 hours every evening.
Free Time
It’s not all work, of course. What do British teenagers do to have f 3 ? They love watching TV, going out, meeting friends in Internet cafés and listening to music.
Communications
In addition to the Internet, teenagers in Britain use their computers to play games and do their homework. They a 4 love their mobile phones, and spend hours texting (发短信) their friends and chatting. Today, phones are getting smaller and lighter and you can do a lot more w 5 them than just talk. Text messaging has b 6 the coolest and most popular way to communicate. More than 90% of 12- to 16-year-olds have a mobile, and experts say that this stops t 7 from spending their money on sweets and cigarettes.
Fashion (服饰)
At school, almost all British teenagers have to w 8 a school uniform. However, in their free
t 9 they can wear whatever they like, and what they like is designer names such as Nike, Diesel and Paul Smith. In fact, 40% of British teens say that they think it is important to have the latest fashion. Looking good doesn’t come c 10 , but many teenagers think it usual or easy to spend more than £100 on one item of clothing.

My nine-year-old daughter, Maria, is in Year Four. Every evening we get into h 1 battles (争执). Three afternoons a week, she has a 2 (net-ball, singing) after school and by the time we get home, homework is the
l 3 thing she feels like doing. The other two days, she gets home early and we argue (争论) about w 4 she should do her homework r 5 after school, or if she should have some time to rest and play f 6 When Maria at last sits down to do her homework, she seems to want me there helping all the time. I do want to help her, but I'm s 7 that she is going to need to be able to do it on her o 8 And in f 9 , most of the time, I have other things I need to be doing. It seems that children these days have much more homework than we did, and some of it is really beyond (超越) their a 10 .As you can see, I'm really worried about homework and I really don’t know what I should do. Any ideas?

When you finish high school or university, is learning done? The answer is “no”. In many countries, people continue learning all their lives. Why is lifelong (终身的)learning important? How can it help you? Let’s look at one e 1 of lifelong learning in Japan.
You go to school and learn. You study. You take tests B 2 learning doesn’t only happen in school. Learning doesn’t s 3 when you graduate from high school or college. You are learning all the time. For example, learning can h 4 when you go to a museum. It can
a 5 happen when you get a job. You learn when you p 6 a sport or when you take a trip. Learning is l 7 ! We never stop learning. Every day you can improve yourself by learning something n 8 .
In Japan, lifelong learning is very important. People in Japan like to try new learning a 9 . Music, calligraphy (书法) and foreign languages are some of their f 10 classes. Japanese take classes to improve their skills and learn new things.
When we graduate from school, we can continue to learn. Make lifelong learning become one of your goals!

The mobile phone is a useful thing, but maybe I don't know h 1 to use it. Sometimes it makes things difficult for me.
One day I wanted to see my friend nearby. I could a 2 at his house in five minutes, but I looked at my mobile phone and thought i 3 would be better to ring him up. I r 4 him for the first time, but the line was busy. Five minutes later, there was an answer, but it was the wrong number. Then I tried a 5 and this time I got an answer from him.
I asked him if he was at home in the afternoon. And he said--at 1 6 I thought he said--he would be at home all afternoon. So I went to his house, but then I found n 7 in. I called him for the fourth time. This time I got so angry that I s 8 , "You are not at home? But you just told me over the telephone that you would be at home all afternoon!"
Here w 9 his answer, "No, I said: 'I will NOT be at home all afternoon.'"
I went back to my room, sat down in front of the mobile phone and looked at it. What e 10 could I do? Nothing!

We were singing, “Happy birthday to you…” My mother was smiling, surrounded by my father, my little sister and me.
It was time to send wishes. My father said, “You’ve done m 1 things for us. On this special day, let me d 2 all the housework for you.” After kissing my mother, my sister said, “Mum, you’re a g 3 mum in my eyes.” I l 4 at my mother’s eyes and said, “Dear mum, I am always waiting for one day when you and Dad get old.” My parents seemed puzzled (困惑), and I explained, “When you’re old, I will take care of you just like you take care of me.” There were tears in their eyes…
Yes, w 5 they get old, I will take care of them. These words were in my mind f 6 a long time, and at last I said them to my dear parents. I felt v 7 happy.
My parents are just common people, b 8 they’re great. Like other parents, they bring us up with love, and give us food and c 9 . They teach us how to be real people. My parents have done a lot of things for me and I am very thankful to them.
However, they will not always be able to take care of me. One day, they will get old. They may not even be able to take care of t 10 . But that doesn’t matter. I, their child, will take charge.
