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.

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 .

九年级英语首字母填空专项练习技巧

九年级英语首字母填空专项练习技巧一、解题步骤 1. 通读短文，了解大意; (柯南之纵观整个案情) 没有了选项，只给了首字母，这样便给我们读懂文意设置了更大的障碍。因此，我们在做题时，一定要先掌握文章的中心大意。这便要求同学们通过通读文章，对文章的内容有一个整体的了解，从中获取文章的基本结构、体裁、主题及所使用的时态等相关信息。这就为我们解题打下了基础。 2. 分析空缺，瞻前顾后，掌握变化；（柯南之细节考究，真相只有一个）在理解全文意思的基础上，结合文章内容和所给首字母提示，对空缺句子作合乎逻辑的推理。首先，可填出诸如习惯表达、固定结构等较为简单的空缺处。其次，根据空缺处所在句子的位置，前后词语的关系以及该句的结构判断出该空应填词是何种词。接下来，就要确定各词形变化、时态、语态了。如果是名词，应注意其数的变化及格的变化；如果是动词，需注意根据其在句中的语法功能确定其正确的时态、语态及非谓语动词形式；如果是形容词、副词，要注意其级的变化；如果是代词，要注意其主格与宾格、形容词性与名词性物主代词、反身代词等的变化；如果是连词，要注意其在并列句、状语从句、宾语从句中的用法等。 3.反复推敲，攻克难点（柯南之不到最后关头，就决不放弃）做这类题时，往往不是一帆风顺，总会有几个空难以确定答案。遇到这种情况时，根据上下文意思，仔细研读空格处词句及其前后句。如果还做不出来的话，要改变一些思路。实词与文章的内容直接相关，虚词与文章意思的连贯直接相关。如果从内容上实在看不出要填哪个单词的话，应考虑是否要填介词、连词等，并从首字母的提示入手，多试一些可能的单词，最终一定会豁然
