练习一The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981.At that time，they decided to stop s__1__ Spanish at home and only communicate in English.This was b__2__ they were now living in an Englishspeaking country.Now the Vieira children are adults，and they sometimes travel to Spain to v __3__ their family and friends.But they can't communicate with them.Unfortunately this is common.When people move to new countries，they often leave their o__4__ customs and mother language behind.This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate with more people a__5__ the world.You don't have to depend on others to talk to you，so you are more independent.People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.Furthermore，speaking the second language a__6__ allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively.Local expressions，vocabulary，and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person's understanding of o__7__ cultures.So knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.Finally，having more multilanguage__speakers improves relationships b__8__ countries.If people from different countries can communicate well，the world can become closers.Countries will then have more respect for each other and better u__9__ each other's problems.The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear.In fact，there are no disadvantages.It is very sad that many people don't try to learn another language.It's e__10__ worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.1.__________2.__________3.__________4.__________5.__________6.__________7.__________8.__________9.__________ 10.__________练习二Sixteen years ago a boy gave me an important gift.It was a

bright and friendly.It made me f__5__ happy and warm.That smile changed my l__6__.I started to talk with other students and made friends.Day by day，I became c__7__ to everyone in my class.The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.One day I asked him w__8__ he had smiled，but he couldn't remember doing so!It doesn't matter because all the dark days have g__9__.I believe that the

a month.After they were back，my mother h__8__ my father walk slowly on the country road every day.They were so k__9__ to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple.After two months my father still couldn't walk by himself.“Dad，how are you feeling now？” I asked him one day.“Susan，don't w__10__ about me.” he said.“I just like walking with your mom.I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes，I knew he loves my mother deeply.Now I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life.Love is inside，making life strong and

everywhere.He needed to get up early b__1__ sunrise every morning to help his father on the farm.During sunrise he would take a break and climb up on the fence(篱笆) along the side of the farm.He could

While watching TV, most of these people are so frozen that they a__7__ look dead! Everyone is sitting still with eyes looking right into the black box.

In some places, firefighters use watchtowers to look for smoke and fires, although they get a fire report by telephone. A high tower is still very u 67 for watching and guarding a place. Fire fighters also make it a place for practice. They learn how to p 68 out fires from burning buildings. They try to c 69 up the outside of the tower as fast as possible. They carry water hoses up to the fire. They practise carrying imaginable victims down f 70 high ladders.There are reasons that firefighters are called for help. Maybe a building or a forest is o 71 fire. A train accident happens and people are t 72 inside. Still, people need to be rescued from floods or an earthquake. Whenever there is an emergency situation, they can be seenf 73 there.Being a fire fighter needs a lot of t 74 . In the first place, firefighters should know how to educate the community （社区）by visiting schools, community centres and people in their own homes to p 75 fire and accidents from starting. They have to learn how to deal with different dangerous situations. Above all, it’s necessary for firefighters to exercise every day to be h 76 and strong.1.__________2.__________3.__________4.__________5.__________6.__________7.__________8.__________9.__________ 10.__________练习十八Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and bark.

Travel makes information alive for kids, and makes it m 2 more exciting than studying textbooks or doing experiments in the laboratory. While travelling, they learn h 3 to deal with new situations, and communicate with other people. They learn patience, because sometimes i 4 takes a long time to get to some exciting or interesting places.I've been travelling since I was seven years old. For me, to stop travelling would be like taking something a 5 from my soul(灵魂).I can't live without travelling. Some people think it's d 6 to travel after having kids.

I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with a 4 .Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn't talk to anyone about me.Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk. I couldn't talk to anyone about my problem, and I didn't want my parents to worry about me.Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy e 5 the classroom. I didn't know who he was. He passed me and then turned b 6 . He looked at me and, without a word, smiled.Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me f 7 happy, lively and warm.That smile c 8 my life. I started to talk with the other students and made friends. Day by day, I became c 9 to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.One day, I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn't remember smiling at me!It doesn't matter because all the dark days have gone. Now I b 10 that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10.LFood is very important. Everyone needs to e 1 well if he or she wants to have a strong body. Our minds also need a kind of food. This kind of food is k 2 . We begin to get knowledge even when we are very young. Small children are i 3 in everything around them. They learn something w 4 they are watching and listening. When they are getting older, they begin to r 5 story books, science books, anything they like. When they find something new, they love to ask questions and t 6 to find out the answers.What is the best w 7 to get knowledge? If we learn b 8 ourselves, we will get the most knowledge. If we are a 9 getting answers from others and do not ask why, we will never learn well. When we study in the right way, we learn more and understand m 10 .1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10.MEveryone needs friends. We all like to feel c 1 to someone. It is nice to have a friend to t 2 , laugh, and to do things. Certainly, sometimes we need to be alone. We don't always want people a 3 . But we would f 4 lonely if we never had a friendNo two people are just the same. Friends sometimes don't g 5 on well. It doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up(重归于好)and become friends again.Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very s 6 . We miss them very much, but we can call them and write to them. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out h 7 much we like new people when we get to know themThere is more good n 8 for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don't. Why? It could be that they are happier. B 9 happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone c 10 about you, you take better care of yourself.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10.NA teenage girl couldn't stand her parents' family rules, so she left home. She wanted to be famous.

初三英语中考首字母填空专项训练

Chinese writing is one of the world's greatest writing systems. It is more w 1 in use than alphabetic（字母的）writing systems．More than half of the world's books are written in Chinese，including historical writings and novels, along with writings on government and law．At the beginning, written Chinese was a picture-based l 2 .

And most parents would be grateful.Passage 26Climbing a mountain is hard work. But one step after another finally brings a person to the t 1 . Along the way, he can stop and look a 2 . And the h 3 he climbs, the more wonderful his view(视野) is. If he keeps climbing, he will have a new world before him. He will have a new way of t 4 everything.Now learning a f 5 language is something like climbing a mountain. This new language can give you a new view of life. And it is more than a look at the surface(表面) of things. It can open the way into people’s minds and hearts, into a culture(文化) very d 6 from the one of your own. This will make you richer, e 7 in things that money can’t buy. Even though you never set foot on a ship or a plane, you can be an armchair w 8 through books.Like the mountain climber who stops now and then to l 9 at the scenery around him, everyone who is interested in reading will find p 10 in books as he fights on to learn more and more of that new language.Passage 27It was getting dark.

But they tried their best to r 6 the little boy. They knew they must be q 7 . If they didn’t push him up onto the ice, he would soon die.Many people ran over to h 8 . Some of them had ropes and poles(绳和竹竿). A young man jumped into the water to wave to the o 9 people.The boy and the two Canadian women were out of water at last. One of the women didn’t feel well. She was sent to the h 10 at once. But she felt very happy because the boy was safe. Passage 28Most American families are smaller than the families in other countries. Most American families have one or two p 1 and one or two children each.Children in the US will leave their parents’ home whe n they grow up. They usually live f 2from their parents because they want to find good jobs. They often write to their parents or t 3 them. And they often go to v 4 their parents on holiday.Parents usually l 5 their children choose their own jobs. Americans think i 6 important for young people to decide on their lives by t 7Children are a 8 to do some work around their house. And in many families, children are p 9 for doing some housework so that they learn how to make money for their own u 10Passage 29Most people want to work, but it has become m 1 difficult in today's world to find work for e 2 The economies(经济)of the world n 3 to grow by 4% each year just to keep the old number of jobs for people. Often this is not p 4 and so more people are w 5 work. Some people have no jobs now because new machines can d 6 the work of many people in a shorter time. Also, machines don't ask for more money and l 7 holidays. In all of the countries of the world machines are taking work from people, not only in factories but also on f 8 One machine can often do the work of forty people. About 75000 people are m 9 to the cities a day to look for jobs, but o 10 70% of them can find jobs.Passage 30Someone says, “Time is money,” but I think time is even more i 1 than money. Why?Because when money is s 2 we can get it b 3 However, when time is g 4it’ll never return. That’s w 5 we mustn’t waste(浪费) time. It’s sure that the t 6is usually limited(有限的).Even a second is very important. We should make full use of our time to do something u 7 But some people don’t know the importance of time. They spend their limited time smoking, drinking and playing. They do not know that wasting time means wasting part of their own l 8In a word, we should s ave time, we shouldn’t l9 today’s work for tomorrow. Remember we have no time to l 10 .Passage31Can animals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals may be t 1to do a number of simple jobs. They s 2 that in a film or on TV we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs, bears, or other animals doing a lot of things. If you w 3 carefully, you may find that those animals are given something to eat in return for d 4 them. The scientists say that many d 5 animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs if they will get something to eat.Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and elephants can be used to do some heavy j 6 And we can also teach animals to work in f 7 . Apes, for example have b 8 used in America to help make cars and scientists b 9 that these monkeys may one day get in crops and e 10 drive trains.Passage32If you don’t use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak; whe n you start using them again, they will gradually （逐渐地）become stronger again. Everybody knows this. Yet many people do not seem to know that it is the s 1 with memory. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he d 2 give it enough chance to become stronger.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we k 3 that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his p 4 are to blame, and f 5 of us know that it is just his own fault.Have you e 6 found some people can’t read or write but they usually have b 7 memories? This is b 8 they cannot read or write and they h 9 to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They must remember dates, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.So if you want a good memory, l 10 from these people : practise remembering.Passage33When I was walking down the street one day, I s 1 a small bag on the ground. I picked it up and opened it to see w 2 I could find out the owner’s name. There was n 3 inside it except some dollars and a picture of a woman and a young girl about twelve years old. I put the photo back and took the bag to the police station. Before I left, the policeman wrote down my name and my a 4 . He thought the owner might want to thank me.That evening I went to have dinner with my aunt and uncle. They had also asked a young woman to have dinner with us. Her face was familiar, but I couldn’t r 5 where I had seen her.D____6____ our talk, the young woman happened to say that she had l 7 her bag that afternoon. All at once I remembered w 8 I had seen her. She was the young girl in the photo, though she looked now much o 9 than the girl in the picture. She was very s10 , of course, when I told her about the bag. After dinner we went to the police station and got back her bag. The policeman said to me, “It’s a wonderful thing. You found not only the bag, but also the owner of the bag. ”Passage34Only mother love is true love. It gives e 1 everything all his life.When you are still a baby, mother takes good care of you as much as possible. In yourwaking hours she always holds you in her arms.
