between East and West for over2,000years.Some people may think it is____62____[ɪmˈpɑ:səbl]to exist(存在).Now let me tell you from the history.The ancient road started from Chang’an(now Xi’an)and ended in East Europe,near____63____(today)Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea.It was about6,500kilometers long and covered one____64____(four)of the planet.The Silk Road got its name because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road.Silk,jade(翡翠),ceramics (制陶术)and iron____65____(go)west to Rome.And from the west came glass,gems and food____66____ carrots and sesame(芝麻).The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world.It was____67____than an ancient international trade route.Besides trade,knowledge about____68____[ˈsəʊʃl]arts,science,literature,crafts(工艺)and____69____(technology)was shared across the Silk Road.In this way,the languages and cultures developed and influenced each other.Today,along the Silk Road there are____70____[ˈsevrəl]places of interest,such as the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an and Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang.Now a new train line runs from Beijing across the Silk Road.二Anger(愤怒)is a kind of feeling(情绪).Many things can make you angry.When your teacher gives you too __1__homework,when your team__2__(lose)an important game,when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then breaks it,you may get angry.__3__/'juːʒuəli/,your body will tell you when you are angry.For example,you breathe faster,your face turns red,and you may want to break something or hit someone,but sometimes you hide(隐藏)your anger.For example,you may hide it in your heart.The__4__/'prɒbləm/is that if you do this,you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.In fact,it is not good to hide your anger,and it is normal for you to get angry sometimes.But anger must be let out in the__5__way,without hurting others or__6__/jɔː'selvz/.When you get angry,you can talk about it with adults,such as parents,__7__(teacher),etc.After doing that,you'll find those bad feelings can start to go away.Here__8__(be)some other things you can do when you start to feel angry:count__9__one to a hundred;give someone a hug;go for a bike ride;think about good things,etc.Remember that when you are angry,how you act can make everything better or worse.Don't let your anger__10__/kən'trəʊl/you.Next time,if you feel angry,try these ways!三Teens and kids are reading a lot__1__(little)for fun,according to a recent report.Although the decline(下降)in the__2__ten years is very surprising for teen readers,some data(数据)in the report shows that reading is__3__/stIl/a big part of many children's lives.According to the report,the number of teens who__4__(hard)read has gone up from8percent to25percenttoday.The report data shows__5__kids'reading ability remains almost the same.However,the amount of reading time has__6__(fall),from about an hour every day to half an hour.As for children's e-reading,the report mentions little about__7__(it)effects.But it says that many parents choose to__8__/kən'trəʊl/the time spent on e-books,mainly because they are worried about the increased screen time.After all,it is important to protect their kids'eyes.The most__9__/'helpfl/part in the report is parents'effects on their children.It shows that parents are examples __10__important guides for them in reading.If parents read more and find more time to read with their children,it turns out that their children actually read more often.四How do you feel about your looks?Is it__1__/Im'pɔːtənt/to have a beautiful face?Are there other things that can make a person special?The way you look is special.Do you know__2__I mean by that?We all look a little different.Some of us are tall.Some of us are__3__/fæt/.The point is,all of us have our own look—our own face.Sometimes,we might feel bad about__4__(look)different.We might feel like we look ugly__5__strange.But our differences are what make us special.I recently watched a speech by a man__6__(name)Robert Hoge.He was born with a strange-looking face.His mother always worried that he would face many__7__(difficult)in life.But what Hoge did changed his mother's mind little by little.Strangers would stare at him or even make fun of him.But he didn't__8__/keər/at all.He decided to accept his face and feel confident(自信的)in__9__.He has made a decision to live an amazing life.It's hard when you feel you don't look“normal”or“perfect”.But the__10__(true)is,no one is perfect.The important thing to remember is that you are special,no matter what you look like.五Writers must be very talented to win the Nobel Prize in Literature(诺贝尔文学奖).But in2016,for the __1__(one)time in history,a musician won the prize.Bob Dylan,the American musician,won the prize.According__2__the Nobel Prize website,the prize__3__(go) to Dylan because he“created new poetic(诗性的)expressions within the great American song__4__/trə'dIʃən/.”Dylan is one of the most famous American folk music(民谣音乐)__5__(musician)and is also seen as an informal American historian.Many of Dylan's famous songs were written in the1960s.Blowing in the Wind is one of Dylan's most famous songs.__6__/haʊ'evə/,not everyone thought he was the right person to win the prize.Some people believed the prize should not go to a singer.But BBC's Colin Paterson said Dylan should be__7__/rI'membəd/as a writer,not a singer,because he“made the lyrics(歌词)more realistic__8__the music”.“We're__9__(real)giving it to Bob Dylan as a great poet,”said Sara Danius,one of the people__10__chose Dylan for the award.She also said that in the future,people will read Dylan's lyrics as poetry,just like many people read or listen to poetry today that was written years ago.六Robert likes to take a walk in the park after work.One day when he was__1__(walk)in the park,he heard a woman calling his name.He__2__(stop)to look around,but didn't see anything except a little snake.__3__(short)after Robert saw it,it was gone.Though Robert felt a little__4__/streIndʒ/,he did not think about it too much and sat down for a__5__/rest/on a bench(长凳)in the park.Then he noticed the snake he had just seen climbing up the bench.Robert was too afraid__6__move away from the bench.Right at this__7__/'məʊmənt/,a woman behind him shouted,“Come here,Robert.You can't stay on the bench like that.People will be__8__(worry)by you.”In surprise,Robert turned around and said to the woman,“__9__me,but that's not a very nice thing to say,and in fact some people say I'm handsome.”“I'm__10__talking to you,”said the woman,“I'm telling Robert,my pet snake,to get down from the bench,not you.”七Traditional Chinese Medicine is an important part of Chinese culture.For thousands1years,it has made great contributions to the development of Chinese nation and the health of Chinese people.Nowadays,both Traditional Chinese Medicine2western medicine are being used to cure(治疗)3(patient)all around the world.According to the4/'sɜːveɪ/data,TCM is used by75%of the areas in China.Great successes have been made in many areas through TCM cure.As for a serious stomachache,there is5need to have an operation(手术).All you need to do is drink a cup of TCM soup,while the western way6(take)more time and money.What's more,most operations7/'kæri/some risk.Reportedly,more than3,1008(medicine)workers from over630TCM hospitals across China have been sent to support Hubei Province in the fight against COVID-19.TCM has been used in9(treat)60,107confirmed cases(确诊病例)in China,or85.2percent of the total.I think in the10/'fjuːtʃə(r)/,TCM will be the mainstream in the health services in China.八The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago linked Europe,Africa and Asia.People reached these different1(place)along these roads.Scientists and archaeologists2/bɪ'liːv/people began to travel the Silk Road about3,000years ago.By3time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world,the Silk Road had 4(cover)almost6,500kilometers.It stretched from Rome to China,5is from the West to the Far East.Merchants(商人)traveling along the Silk Road carried silk,of course.They also carried and traded spices,cloth,rare jewels,slaves and gold.During its6(busy)period,the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix.The Silk Road allowed the7(share)of precious goods and new ideas.These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean,Persian,Magyar,Armenian,Bactrian,Indian and Chinese areas.All these peoples traveled the Silk Road,and they shared goods,stories,languages and cultures.In8/'mɒdn/times,the old Silk Road routes are still used,but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses.There is9a Silk Road Museum in Jiuquan in China.It has over35,000objects from all along the Silk Road.In this way,China protects the10/'hɪstri/of many countries and peoples.九“APEC blue”is a popular word nowadays.People use it to describe the blue sky1/'djʊərIŋ/the APEC meetings.To make the2cleaner,people did a lot.These years,air3(pollute)is so heavy in Beijing that people hardly ever see blue skies in such a smog(雾霾)season.After the event,people are wondering how to4 (keep)the APEC blue in the future.Experts give some5(advice).First,they believe the environment will be certainly in great danger6everyone plays a part in saving the earth.So don't think it has7/'nʌθIŋ/to dowith you.And what8should we do?Try to walk more and use cars9(little)!Finally,make sure factories stop polluting the air.If we can do these things,the sky will10/bI'kʌm/APEC blue.Hope we can see APEC blue every

the readers and invite them to read on TV.People of all ages have come and read in the pavilion.“Reading should be just like singing10talking,”said Dong Qing,the host of the show,“We can actually express our deep feelings by reading aloud.”十一Have you ever picked strawberries yourself?The sweet fruit looks nice,but light pressure can make them out of shape,so you have to be very1(care)when picking them.Nowadays,there are many young people2are just like strawberries.They3(easy)break down when they face difficulties.There is a name for them—strawberry kids.Why are many children so easy to break down?Many students are the only child in their family.Their4 /'peərənts/do almost everything for them in their daily life.They hardly ever get criticized(被批评)at home and always feel good about5(they).If these students are criticized strictly by teachers,they will feel upset and begin to doubt their own abilities.And schools?Many schools care more about6(student)grades instead of developing their personality.As a result,students get satisfying grades7/waIl/they are not mentally(精神上地) strong enough.Young people should learn how to make themselves mentally strong.An expert said,“Whenever you are in trouble,don't8for help too quickly.You should try to deal with problems first by yourself.Take an active part 9sports and social activities.Those can help you become mentally strong.”Growing up is not just a happy process.Pains also go10/ə'lɒŋ/.The most important thing is to face the pains bravely and learn from them.十二Lydia runs and picks up rubbish along the way.What she does is called“plogging”,an activity combining collecting rubbish with st1/dʒuːn/,she first learned the idea of plogging on the Internet and decided to plog.Lydia runs four2five times a week and takes a daily walk with her two dogs.She often wears her gloves and takes several bags when she goes3.Sometimes she spends half an hour4(collect)rubbish.She says shehas5(waste)the last few years of her running life.Now she feels6(good)to doplogging than just running by the litter.“It just7a moment to stop and pick something up off the ground.8/haʊ'evə(r)/,it makes a big difference to my community.Now my9/'hʌzbənd/also joins me,”Lydia says10(proud).“It doesn't matter how much rubbish I pick up.It's good way to protect our planet.”十三English:World languageOnce people dreamed of a language that everybody in the world could understand.Now,for the1(one) time in human history,perhaps there is one—English.It is the official language in more than502(country)and 250—300million people speak it3a second language.Some say that half the world will be speaking it in the year2050.Difficult to master?English is not the4(easy)language to learn—most of its common verbs are irregular and it has a large vocabulary—at least200,000words are in common use.User-friendlyBut some things make5easy.For example,nouns don't have gender(性别)and the usages of verbs are simpler than other languages.There is only one form to speak to someone directly—“you”.Adjectives don't agree6 nouns,and many nouns are often also verbs.English is everywhereSome other languages may have more speakers,like Chinese.But English is7(use)in many different areas.It is the language of transport:most airline pilots and air-traffic controllers use it.At sea English is the8 /ˌIntə'næʃnəl/language of communication.The future of EnglishWhat is the future of English as a global language?Will9/ə'nʌðə(r)/language ever replace it?Many think not—it is already too10/'pɒpjʊlə(r)/.十四Computers have

keep their hearts beating normally.In business,computers are4to place and cancel orders.People's lives at home have5(change),too.More and more people have6(person)computers,and they use them to play games and watch movies.People can also do some7(shop)and do business at home.The Internet is making the world smaller,like a village.But computers have brought problems,too.For instance,if we play computer games too much,we won't have8/I'nʌf/time to study or exercise.9/bI'saIdz/,not everything we read on the Internet is true or good for us.We must use computers10(proper).十五Almost each Chinese child has heard of or read Journey to the West—one of the most famous Chinese1 (tradition)classics.All of them like the main character—the Monkey King or Sun Wukong.However,it wasn't popular 21970s in England.In November1979,pupils in England were able to watch a new3/'prəʊɡræm/called Monkey.Most of them were hearing this story for the4(one)time.The Monkey King isn't5usual monkey.In fact,he sometimes doesn't even look like a monkey!This isbecause he can make seventy-two changes to his shape and size,turning6(him)into different animals and objects.But unless his tail is7(hide),he can't turn himself into a man.To fight bad people,the Monkey King uses a magic stick.Sometimes he can make the stick small enough8keep it in his ear.At other times,he can make it big and long.The Monkey King has9/ɪk'saɪtɪd/the children of China for many years.And as soon as the TV program came out more than30years ago,western children became interested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help the10/wiːk/and never gives up.十六All children will grow up one day.That is the way it has always1(be).You,too,are growing up.Even as you 2/ə'tend/your daily classes,you are growing up.You should have fun as you are growing up.But you must not3 /fə'ɡet/that you have responsibilities.You might not know exactly4you want to be when you grow up.And that's OK.You should try to

英语中考短文填空练习Passage 1Here’s a story about Ming’s life on the waters. Ming has lived all his life on a wide r 1in china. His home is a large house-boat with a roof, one of hundreds that move up and down. In about six years he has not once been on l 2 ,but he is never lonely. He is a strong swimmer. In fact(实际上),he could swim before he could walk. When he wants to play with his f 3 ,he just swims across to their boats or asks them tov 4 him.Ming’s father is a fishman,but he never u 5 a line or a net(网).
