2015In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play many different k___81____ of music—everything from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so p 82 ? Is it their music? Their looks? Yes, it's both of the things, but it’s a 83 something else: they're elephants.These musical elephants started at the TECC（泰国大象保护中心）in Lampang. The TECC protectselephants. It teaches people to understand and love them. And, like many zoos a 84 the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint.Richard Lair w 85 for the TECC. He loves his job there and knows a lot about elephants. He says some of the animals' paintings are very good. But, in fact, elephants h 86 better than they see. And so he had an idea: if elephants are s 87 and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra. During a performance（表演）, the elephants play a number ofi 88 , including the drums and the xylophone（木琴）.But can elephants really make music properly? Yes, says Lair. They are very creative. Human e 89 the animals to play, but the elephants make their own songs; they don't just copy their trainers o 90 other people. There are now CDs of the group’s music which make money for the TECC. And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.2014On July2, 1937, Amelia Earhart( an American pilot) and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific. This was the longest and most dangerous part of their t 81 around the world. Earhart had trouble soon after the plane took off. The weather was very bad, so she had tof 82 at 3,000 metres. Going this high, the plane used fuel quickly.After about 20 h 83 , Earhart and Noonan got close to Howland Island. The island was o 84 about 65 miles (英里) away, but the bright sun was shining in their faces so they couldn’t see it. Near Howland, a ship was w 85 for the plane. Earhart contacted the ship: “We don’t have enough fuel,” she said. The ship tried to stay in touch with her b 86 got no answer. Finally, the ship called for help. People looked for Earhart and Noonan for days. However, they found nothing.What happened to Amelia Earhart? No one knows for sure. D 87 the flight, she probably moved inthe wrong direction(方向) because the sun was bright and it was d 88 to see. So she got lost; soon after, her plane ran out of fuel, and she died at sea. Another idea is that she survived(幸存) the plane crash(飞机失事), s 89 to a lonely island, and later died there. Still other think she survived the crash and secretly returned to the U.S. with a new identity(身份).Till now, none of these i 90 has been proved. People are still wondering about them.

No matter what happened, Earhart probably died as she wished. “When I go,” she said, “I’d like best to go in my plane.”2013Many people say dolphins are very intelligent (聪颖的). They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly. But are they c 81 like humans or more like cats or dogs? Scientists say dolphin intelligence is s 82 to human intelligence in some ways. How?Like humans, every dolphin has a “name”. I 83 is a special whistle (哨声). Scientists think dolphins, like people. “t 84 ” to each other about a lot of things, such as their age, their feelings, or finding food. And, like humans, dolphins use a system (系统) of sounds and body language to c 85 . But understanding their co nversations is not easy for humans. No one “speaks dolphin” yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups, and they often come to play games fromdifferent groups and have f 86 , just like people. In fact, playing t 87 is something only intelligent animals do.Dolphins and humans b 88 make plans to get something they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, dolphins use an interesting way to get food. When fish are n 89 a boat, dolphins signal (发信号) to the fishermen to put their nets (网) in the water. And the men can catch a lot of fish. What is the advantage for the dolphins? Why do they h 90 the men? The dolphins can get some of the fish.2012Parents sometimes learn much from their children.Many years ago, a 81 my friend David worked day and night, he was still not rich. One day, when he arrived h 82 after work, he found his 3-year-old daughter wa s decorating a box with some expensive wrapping paper. He thought she was w 83 money and became angry with her.

I blew kisses in the box. I filled it with my l 88 . All for you, Daddy.”The father was very surprised. He put his arms around his little girl, and said s 89 to her.

When he was discouraged(情绪低落), he would take out an imaginary (想像的) kiss from the box and r 90 the love of the child.2011Bill and Simon were good friends. One summer they were on h . They wanted to sail around the Caribbean Sea in their boat for two weeks.During their trip, they saw many whales. Bill and Simon were very e because they had wanted to see them very much. Unluckily, w they were watching them, the whales began to hit the side of the boat.Suddenly, w started coming in, and they realized that they were in trouble. They q jumped into the lifeboat before the sank(沉没), and watched it disappear under the sea.Luckily, they had enough food and water for about twenty d . They also had a fishing line and a machine which could change sea water i drinking water. These two things helped them to survive(存活) during their terrible experience.For the next fifty days they caught about ten fish a day and a them. They saw about twenty ships, but although they waved and shouted when the ships were passing, n saw them. They were becoming weaker and weaker. Then, just as they were beginning to l hope, a fishing boat saved them.2010Think about two people you know. How would you describe their personalities? Are they the s_________(81)? Of course not!

They don’t care about d_________(88) things right or getting things done on time. Hard-working people always get more chances than those lazy o_________(89) in life.And don’t f_________(90) this: Everyone is different. That means you are special!2009Eleven-year-old Antonin Careme could not believe that his father had ordered a lot of delicious food. It was an unexpected (意料不到的) dinner b (81) the Careme family was poor. As he was eating thankfully, his father e (82) to him in a sad voice that this would be a farewell meal. His father could no l (83) support all his children, so Antonin would have to leave home to make moneyh (84).After the meal, Antonin walked a (85) the streets, wondering who would take him in. He knocked on the door of a restaurant where the o (86) happened to need an assistant. In the restaurant, young Antonin g (87) his first lesson in cooking. He was hardworking and his employer (雇主) decided to teach hima (88) the skills and secrets of French cooking. When he was fifteen years old, Antonintrained under the famous cook, Baily.One of Baily’s customers was s (89) impressed with Antonin’s style of cooking tha t he asked him to be his p (90) cook, working at his home. Antonin later went on to work for a diplomat, a banker and even the king.2008There are two main kinds of sports. These two kinds of sports are team sports and individual(个人的) sports. Team sports are such as baseball, basketball and v (81). Team sports r (82) two separate(独立的) teams. The teams play against each other. They compete against each other in order to get high s (83). For example, in a football game, if team A get 7 points and team B get 3 points, team A wins the game. Team sports are sometimes c (84) competitive sports.Besides team sports, there is a (85) main type, or kind, of sporting activities. This is individual sports. In individual sports, there is n (86) teams. There isn’t any competition. People play individual sports in order to get exercise. They don’t play individual sports for competition. G (87), they want to get some exercise, not to win a game. Individual sports are such sports as swimming, skiing, and r(88).Of course it is possible to compete in individual sports. It is possible to keep a score in individual sports. The main difference, however, b (89) teams sports and individual sports is that individual sports can be performed alone. Team sports need more than o (90) person.2007Knowing how to use a computer is an essential skill for everyone w （81）wants to succeed in today’s world . One basic computer program that everyone should learn to use is the word processing program . Most types of writing are e （82）produced with a word processing program .

During the test，these people were given all kinds of breakfasts and s (85)they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well t (86) bodies worked when they had had different kinds of breakfasts.The results show that if a person e （87）a right breakfast，he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit，eggs，bread and milk b(88）going to school，he will learn more quickly a (89）listen more carefully in class.The results a（90) show that having no breakfast will not h (91) you lose weight. This is because people become so h（92) at noon that they eat too much for lunch. So they will gain weight instead of losing weight.2005Only Mother Love is true love . It gives everybody everything all h (86) life. When you are still a baby, mother takes good care of you as p (87).In yourw (88) hours she always holds you in her arms. When you are ill, she stops her work right now tolook after you day and night a (89) forgets about herself. When you are growing up day b (90)day, she feels very happy. When you are old enough to go to school, mother still looks after you all the time. On cold winter days, she always tells you to put on more clothes. She always stands in the wind w (91) for you back from school. When you hurry to leave home for school with little breakfast, she you back from school.

When you do well at school, you will see the brightest smile on her face.Mother is always ready to give everything she h (93) to her children, n (94) to receive. What true love that is in the w (95)!

天津中考首字母填空答题技巧一、了解题型特点这部分题型就是给一篇文章，然后有些单词的首字母给出来了，让咱把整个单词填上去。

就像是玩猜字游戏一样，只不过这个游戏有一定的规则和套路。

这种题型考的可不仅仅是单词量，还考对文章上下文的理解能力呢。

二、增加词汇储备1. 课本词汇要记牢课本里的单词那可是基础中的基础。

咱得把课本上每个单元的单词都背得滚瓜烂熟，特别是那些经常出现在阅读文章里的高频词汇。

比如说像“because”“although”“however”这种在句子中起连接作用的词，在首字母填空里就很容易考到。

2. 课外拓展不能少光靠课本上的单词还不够。

咱可以多看看英语课外读物，像新概念英语那种比较经典的。

在看的过程中遇到不认识的单词就记下来，查查字典，把它的用法、搭配都搞清楚。

还有一些英文电影、歌曲也能帮助咱积累词汇。

比如说看哈利·波特系列电影，里面就有很多神奇的魔法词汇，像“spell”（咒语）、“wand”（魔杖）之类的。

三、掌握语法规则1. 时态很重要在首字母填空中，时态是一个很关键的考点。

要能根据文章中的时间标志词来判断应该用什么时态。

比如说，如果看到“yesterday”，那大概率要用一般过去时；看到“often”“usually”，可能就是一般现在时。

像“be”动词的各种形式（am/is/are/was/were），还有动词的过去式、过去分词，都要熟练掌握。

2. 词性的判断要学会根据句子的结构来判断所缺单词的词性。

如果句子缺少主语，那可能就是名词或者代词；如果缺少谓语，那就是动词；如果是用来修饰名词的，那就是形容词或者冠词之类的。

比如说，“a/an/the”这三个冠词的用法就很有讲究，得根据后面名词的发音和单复数来选择。

四、学会分析上下文1. 逻辑关系的把握文章中的句子之间都有一定的逻辑关系。

有的是因果关系，像“Because it rained heavily, the ground was wet.”（因为雨下得很大，所以地面是湿的）；有的是转折关系，比如“He is rich, but he is not happy.”（他很富有，但他不快乐）。

How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a cell phone can help us. However many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different w 76 of telling the time.About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians i 77 the sun clock. This was a tall stone structure. Its shadow (影子)showed the movement of the s 78 they were able to determine（测定）midday.About 3,500 years ago,the Egyptians made a sundial. It was smaller than the sun clock and could measure (测量)the time for half a day. On c 79 days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial.Water clocks were the f 80 clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows（流动）from one container（容器）to another. When the water reaches a certain l 81＿it moves a lever (控制杆)and this shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China but they f 82 to keep accurate（精确的）time.In the 13th century. the mechanical clock was invented. This was more accurate, b 83 was expensive to make. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs(发条)were added around 1500. This i 84 accuracy and allowed clocks to be smaller.In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build and own. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, markets and so on.More recently, in1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites（人造卫星）send our cell phones the time to the exact second. There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping but some things never c 85 . Man of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not missing appointments.2017八、综合填空（本大题共10 小题，每小题1 分，共10 分）根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。

Long ago,the early people did not live in houses as we do today.Most of the homes were in caves or shelters (遮蔽物)which were built in trees.These‘homes’were only used as temporary(临时的)shelters to p1 them from the sun,the rain and the wild animals in the forests.Men of that time were called‘cave people’.These‘cave people’usually lived in small groups and life was not e2for them.They had to move from place to place to s3for food.They would hunt,fish or pick wild fruit.When they couldn’t find a 4to eat,they would leave to find another proper place.Their tools were very simple.They ate raw(生的) food u5they learnt how to make a fire.For clothing,they used only the bark(树皮)of trees or the skins (皮)of animals to c6their bodies.However,the lives of the‘cave people’changed.They collected the seeds(种子)of wild plants that g7 in the forests.Soon they learnt to plant fruit,vegetables and other crops.They also kept cows,sheep and other kinds of farm a8for milk,meat and skins.They became f9and lived in only one certain area. Their groups became l10than before as they lived more settled(固定的)lives.They built houses as long-lasting homes,and as a result,villages and towns developed quickly.The‘cave people’began to be civilized (文明的).（2024·山东东营·中考真题）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容及首字母提示，在空白处填入一个适当的单词。

2014On July2, 1937, Amelia Earhart( an American pilot) and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific. This was the longest and most dangerous part of their t 81 around the world. Earhart had trouble soon after the plane took off. The weather was very bad, so she had tof 82 at 3,000 metres. Going this high, the plane used fuel quickly.After about 20 h 83 , Earhart and Noonan got close to Howland Island. The island was o 84about 65 miles (英里) away, but the bright sun was shining in their faces so they couldn’t see it. Near Howland, a ship was w 85 for the plane. Earhart contacted the ship: “We don’t have enough fuel,” she said. The ship tried to stay in touch with her b 86 got no answer. Finally, the ship called for help. People looked for Earhart and Noonan for days. However, they found nothing.What happened to Amelia Earhart? No one knows for sure. D 87 the flight, she probably moved in the wrong direction(方向) because the sun was bright and it was d 88 to see. So she got lost; soon after, her plane ran out of fuel, and she died at sea. Another idea is that she survived(幸存) the plane crash(飞机失事), s 89 to a lonely island, and later died there. Still other think she survived the crash and secretly returned to the U.S. with a new identity(身份).Till now, none of these i 90 has been proved. People are still wondering about them. (Noonan’s body has never been found either.) No matter what happened, Earhart probably died as she wished. “When I go,” she said, “I’d like best to go in my plane.”2013Many people say dolphins are very intelligent (聪颖的). They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly. But are they c 81 like humans or more like cats or dogs? Scientists say dolphin intelligence is s 82 to human intelligence in some ways. How?Like humans, every dolphin has a “name”. I 83 is a special whistle (哨声). Scientists think dolphins, li ke people. “t 84 ” to each other about a lot of things, such as their age, their feelings, or finding food. And, like humans, dolphins use a system (系统) of sounds and body language to c 85 . But understanding their conversations is not easy for hum ans. No one “speaks dolphin” yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups, and they often come to play games fromdifferent groups and have f 86 , just like people. In fact, playing t 87 is something only intelligent animals do.Dolphins and humans b 88 make plans to get something they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, dolphins use an interesting way to get food. When fish are n 89 a boat, dolphins signal (发信号) to the fishermen to put their nets (网) in the water. And the men can catch a lot of fish. What is the advantage for the dolphins? Why do they h 90 the men? The dolphins can get some of the fish.2012Parents sometimes learn much from their children.Many years ago, a 81 my friend David worked day and night, he was still not rich. One day, when he arrived h 82 after work, he found his 3-year-old daughter wa s decorating a box with some expensive wrapping paper. He thought she was w 83 money and became angry with her. He even p 84 his daughter by beating her. However, the little girl brought the box to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy. Merry Christmas!” He was embarrassed (尴尬) by his overreaction (过激反应), but he became angry a 85 when he found the box was empty.He shouted at her, “Don’t you know that when you give someone a present, there should be s86 inside it?”The little girl looked up at him with t 87 in her eyes and said, “Oh, Daddy. I blew kisses in t he box. I filled it with my l 88 . All for you, Daddy.”The father was very surprised. He put his arms around his little girl, and said s 89 to her. Later, David told me that he kept that box by his bed for years. When he was discouraged(情绪低落), he would take out an imaginary (想像的) kiss from the box and r 90 the love of the child.2011Bill and Simon were good friends. One summer they were on h . They wanted to sail around the Caribbean Sea in their boat for two weeks.During their trip, they saw many whales. Bill and Simon were very e because they had wanted to see them very much. Unluckily, w they were watching them, the whales began to hit the side of the boat.Suddenly, w started coming in, and they realized that they were in trouble. They q jumped into the lifeboat before the sank(沉没), and watched it disappear under the sea.Luckily, they had enough food and water for about twenty d . They also had a fishing line and amachine which could change sea water i drinking water. These two things helped them to survive(存活) during their terrible experience.For the next fifty days they caught about ten fish a day and a them. They saw about twenty ships, but although they waved and shouted when the ships were passing, n saw them. They were becoming weaker and weaker. Then, just as they were beginning to l hope, a fishing boat saved them.2010Think about two people you know. How would you describe their personalities? Are they the s_________(81)? Of course not!
