上海地区初三英语首字母专题练习(1)It may be hard to believe that many people eat insects （昆虫）and bugs（虫子）. Insects are now very common in all of their processed food（加工食品）. Imagine sitting down at the dinner table and b___86____ served a bowl of worms(软体虫). It’s enough to make most Westerners stomachs t____87____. But in other countries the same meal makes people’s mouths water. Eating bugs has been around for thousands of years in some countries . Today it’s estimated（估计）that more than half of the people of the world eat different kinds of bugs. Not only do these insects taste g__88___, but also they are a cheap and nutritious food source. In the US, some people eat bugs for quite a different reason to show their courage. In television shows l____89_____ Survivor, contestants（参赛者）eat beetles（甲壳虫）and spiders(蜘蛛), and viewers watch the shows at home, feeling shocked and disgusted(恶心的). But many of the viewers don’t realize that they may have done the same thing but just don’t know it! Many American people don’t p____90_____ eat bugs, but in the future they may. There are fewer and fewer natural r___91____ and the population is getting larger and larger. Experts say that insects will be raised as an alternative（可供选择的）form of protein（蛋白质）. If more people did their part to eat bugs and broaden their diets and did not just go out and eat chicken, beef and pork, the planet would be better off (境况改善) today. Western children are not as n___92____ about bugs as their parents, because they often visit science museums and zoos, and at school they are learning more about the environment and bugs.(2)Do you want to be an online student? It is important to remember that online education is not right for everyone.On your timeOne of the b 86 advantages of online classes is that you are able to enter your classroom when it is convenient for you. Do you work all day? Then you can log on (登录) to your class in the evening or at the weekend. Are you an early riser? You can log on to your class in the early morningh 87 . Your virtual (虚拟的) classroom is open around the clock, seven days a week.The teacher’s lectureIn an online classroom your teacher’s lecture is written rather than s 88 . There are several advantages. The online classroom is completely dif ferent from the real one. If you can’t remember what your teacher said, all you have to do is to reread his or her lecture. In most cases you will be able to get a copy of the lecture. You will be able to review your teacher’s lecturew 89 even getting online again.Students’ interactionOnline students may find it d 90 to talk with each other face to face. T 91 discussion forums (论坛) and chat rooms provide some ways for student interaction, they do not provide the social connection of an on-campus class.We have to say, the disadvantages to be an online student are clear. For example, the teachers can’t help you face to face. They won’t praise your work orally (口头).An advantage is the fact that some students are shy. They are more willing to speak out their ideas on the discussion forum and are usually more l 92 to ask their teacher a question by email. They will feel more comfortable with this online interaction.(3)Connect to the worldOver the past 20 years, the Internet has greatly influenced our world and changed our lives. The Internet makes it much e____86____ for people to search for information. For example, when we write a history report, we don’t have to go to the library. We ca n find information about world leaders and historical events on different websites. Everything we want to know can be found at the click of a button.The Internet helps us to stay connected to family, friends and the world around us. Not long ago, we wrote letters by h___87____ and waited weeks for a reply. Today, when we use QQ, we send and receive messages across thousands of miles in a few seconds.The Internet gives us a way to express our opinions in p____88____. We share interesting ideas with other people on QQ, Baidu Tieba, blogs or forums(论坛). If we dislike the food at school, we can discuss it in the school’s forum or in the Tieba of our own class.A____89____ the Internet has made our world better in many ways, in some ways it can be a bad influence. There is a lot of false information on the Internet. It is important not to believe a____90____ we read on the Internet.In addition, many teenagers choose to keep in touch with each other online instead of meeting face-to-face. People w____91____ that this harms their social communication skills.Some teenagers spend too much time playing Internet games. They may lose focus on their studies.There are millions of interesting sites to visit and so many wonderful things to do online. How could we live without the Internet nowadays? But remember to use the Internet p____92____ and wisely. Try to let the Internet be your good servant, not your bad master!(4)Nike, Adidas, Converse…, do you know these world-famous brands（商标）? What do you think of them? Do you use their products?Sam: I’m a Nike fan. Many of Nike’s a____86____ on TV are fun and its products are great!Joe: In my eyes, top brand means top quality. So I love top brand products a___87____ they’re very expensive.Sally: The logos of famous brands are usually unique（独一无二的）and nice. It’s c___88___to own products with those logos.Jackie: Many top brand products are advertised by spokesmen. Spokesmen are my favourite stars. I love the stars, so of course I want to use the products they speak f___89___.Susan: I know it’s popular for young people to have famous brand products nowadays. But I have no i____90___ in following the fashion. I only choose the products that suit（适合）me.Adam: As students, we don’t earn money ourselves. It’s not easy for our parents to support us. So I use whatever they choose for me now. When I grow up and become financially i___91____, I may buy the famous brand products I am fond of.Bob: I like playing basketball with my classmates. When we play on the playground, we don’t care about what you wear as long as (只要) you can play w____92____. So in my opinion, there is no need to care so much about the brands of what you wear.(5)Peggy Cardona parked her blue Nissan at a supermarket one day in February. “I’ll come and open the door for you,” she told her four-year-old grandson, Ryan Eshleman, in the backs 86 .The car moved ahead before Cardona could even closed the door. “Nana, the car is moving!” Ryan cried. Cardona jumped into the driver’s seat and reached for the handbrake (手闸), her left leg stepping outside, trying to s 87 the car. She couldn’t find the brake, and she got out of the car as it moved down the steep slope(陡坡) toward a pond 20 feet way. Ryan was veryf 88 and cried “Nana!” as the car fell into the pond and the water began pouring in.“H elp!” Cardona cried as the car moved from the bank. “My grandson is i 89 !”A supermarket clerk, Clint Fountain, 24, had just stepped outside for a break when he saw a crowd gathering by the pond. He jumped down the slope and dived into the cold water.Reaching the car, Fountain saw Ryan’s terrified fac e just inches above the water. “Unlock the door!” Fountain shouted. The boy’s fingers fumbled (未触到) with the lock.Fountain hit on the back window, but the glass wouldn’t break. A 90 man Dick McClung dived in and handed him a hammer (锤子). Grabbing it, Fountain told the boy to move aside, and broke the glass. His hands went through the broken window in the black water and pulled the boy out. At that moment the last flash of the blue car d 91 under the water.“Climb onto my back,” Fountain said. Ryan did so, but the tired man couldn’t swim back. McClung, still beside them in the water, picked up Ryan and swam to the bank s 92 . Later, doctors found Ryan had got only a little hypothermia (体温过低).“They risked their lives to save Ryan,” Cardona said of the men. “I thank God every day for them.”(6)It is difficult to imagine what the world was like in 1254. Europe was living in an age that we call the Medieval Period (中世纪). It was a time of many wars.It was in that time that Marco Polo was born in Venice, Italy. Life in Venice was d 86 from life in most of Europe. Venice was a city of beautiful buildings and water canals (运河). Many businessmen did business in Venice. Marco Polo’s father and uncle werebusinessmen. They had traveled to a far-off country called Cathay. (Cathay is now called China.) There they had friends with the great ruler, Kublai Khan(忽必烈). He i 87 them to return to Cathay.When Marco Polo was seventeen years old, he began a journey to China with his father and uncle. They sailed the Indian Ocean and crossed the desert and mountains of Asia on camels. The journey to China took three years.Kublai Khan greeted the Polos and sent them lots of gifts. He was especially impressed (留印象) with Marco, who could speak four l 88 including Chinese and others.Khan sent Marco on many trips t 89 China. On these trips, Marco saw many amazing things that he had never seen in Europe, such as coal used as fuel, paper moneyi 90of coins, and papermaking and printing processes. Marco made many notes about life in China.After almost twenty years in China, the Polos began their journey home to Italy. Kublai Khan gave them many gifts of ivory, silk, jewels, and jade.When they returned to Venice, they found their city at war. Marco Polo was put in prison. He spent his time w 91 a book about his years in China. The book is called Descriptions of the World. It became the most p 92 book in Europe. Because of the book, many people in Europe learned about life in China.(7)Li Ming has studied in the UK for nearly two years now. But he’ll never forget his first few weeks of living in a different country.The FoodIn China, I’ll eat almost anything. But I remember the first food I tasted at school in England. We had this soup and it tasted of n 86 at all. In China, our food is quite salty, but we like it because the salt m 87 it taste nice. A friend advised me to try some cheese and biscuits. Ithought biscuits were the same as ‘cookies’ in America but I was wrong. Again, I felt disappointed at the taste of the biscuits and the cheese was really sour.IntroductionsIn China when you meet someone for the first time, you sometimes shake hands. I was sos 88 when my friend’s mother gave me a kiss when I left his house. I felt so embarrassed and I know my face went very red at that moment.T89When I want to go anywhere in China, I just take my bicycle. Here in England, I have to get a bus everywhere. It’s really confusing b 90 buses don’t stop automatically like they do in Beijing. You have to put your hand out, ring the bell or press the signal button.Socialising (社交)I remember when I went around to a friend’s house and I wanted to say “thank you” to his mother. In China, we often give people cakes as p 91 . The boy’s mother stared at the cake. She was trying to be polite but I knew from her face that I had taken something wrong. In England, a cake is more o 92 given on someone’s birthday.(8)If you thought you could protect yourself on the web by lying about your personal details, you’d better think again. In online communication at least, entering untrue details about name or age may no longer prevent others from working out exactly w 86 you are.Microsoft is developing a new software that could accurately guess your name, your age, your s 87 and possibly even your location.Many studies show that there are strong relationship b 88 the websites that people visit and their personalities. For example, 74% of women try to get some information about health and medical information online, while only 58% of men do. The software could use a wide series of such details to make a good guess about their ID from a p 89 browsing history.So far the software can only guess your age and other information with any accuracy, but the research team say they expect to be able to "predict (预测) your job, and perhaps your location one day."H 90 , Ross Anderson, a computer security engineer at the University of Cambridge,thinks the i 91 could put Microsoft in big trouble. “I think it h 92 if Microsoft were to sell such software widely. It may provide opportunity for someone to make a mistake or even to commit a crime.”(9)Dear PeterI hope everything is going well. I have something very special to tell you. Last week I went into space for the first time!My parents visited space last year, but I was too y 86 to go with them. Anyway, a month ago I had my birthday party. It was very exciting when I opened my presents. There were lots of wonderful games, but I was really happy when I saw a t 87 for a space flight!Two weeks after my birthday, I had to go on a short training course. It was quite difficult, and I had to study very hard. L 88 , I got a good mark in the exam in the end, and my parents were able to b 89 the date of the space flight. I began to look forward to that day.Finally the day arrived, and my parents took me to the airport. I got on the plane with ten other passengers. We took off from the runway and c 90 higher and higher. After about an hour, we went down from the plane into the space shuttle. The plane then dropped the space shuttle at very high altitude(高度). The engines in the space shuttle started, and thirty minutes later we were in space.I admit that for a few seconds I felt a little n 91 when I sat in the space shuttle. However, when we left the Earth’s atmosphere, everyone began to float(飘浮). It was great fun! I felt so free in space, and it was really amazing to see some other p 92 out of the window though I had seen them many times in my geography book.My first space flight only lasted fifteen minutes, but I will never forget it. I also have some good news for you. My parents say they want to go back into space next year. They say I can bring a friend. Would you like to come with us? I hope to hear from you soon.Mark(10)Shopping used to mean actually going to shops, but nowadays, you can shop without evenleaving your house. Just sit in front of your computer, click your mouse and your t 86 will be sent to your house in a matter of days.Nov 11 is a big day for people who like shopping online. Many online stores offered a big discount and free deliver s 87 . On that day, the biggest online shopping sites in China, and , sold things worth 19.1 billion yuan in total.“Goods online are often much c 88 . It also saves me a lot of time. And we often have more choices on many online stores than in shopping malls,” Wang Xin, an online shopping lover in Beijing, said to China Daily.A 89 big advantage of online is that it helps people get things from different cities, even different countries, with ease. “I like eating duck neck very much and I often b uy it on Taobao from shops in Wuhan. It’s much more delicious than what our local stores sell,”said Zhang Xi, a girl in Yangzhou.While enjoying online shopping, many people a 90 have worries, especially for middle school student buyers. Young students are easily a 91 by advertisements on the Internet and buy things they don’t need.“Middle school students should pay more attention to their study. Searching for things w 92 their time,” said Jing Chunling, and education expert. “Online shop owners have no idea of the ages of their buyers. It’s dangerous when young students can buy things such as cigarettes and wines so easily.(11)Some people believe that schools will not be necessary in the near future. They say that because of the Internet and other new technology, there is no need for school buildings, classes or t 86 . Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world had no schools, I couldn’t imagine how our society would be.In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools b 87 . We should invent a new kind of school that is l 88 to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies. Companies should create learning programs for schools. Scientists could give talks t 89 the Internet. TV networks and local TV stations could develop programs about the students who are studying at school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology sothat students could see it on the Internet.Is this a d 90 ? No. This is beginning to happen in many cities. In those cities, learning can take place at home, at school and in the office. Businesses provide programs for schools and society. Schools provide computer labs for people with their own computers at home. Everyone can visit faraway libraries and museums as easily as n 91 ones and everyone can go on the Internet, and older people use it as much as younger ones. How will this new kind of school c92 the usual way of learning? It is too early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it.(12)First there were CDs, then we had MP3 music and now we have ringtones (铃声)! People use their mobile phones to play music. You can listen to the radio on your mobile phone, download music onto it and use it like a MP3 player. Some pop groups find that m 86 people listen to their songs on their mobile phones than they do on CDs.So many people have mobile phones that sometimes you don’t know when your phone rings. Ringtones are often u 87 to tell you it’s your phone. Companies sell them to you and they are downloaded on your phone.At first, there were just different rings. They were like a normal telephone. Then people made them sound like a piece of music. Now you can get all kinds of sounds. N 88 every pop song can be played on your mobile phone. You can also get a 89 sounds – there are elephants, cats, dogs, lions and lots of strange bird sounds, too.You can make your o 90 music. You need special software to do it. There are also karaoke ringtones. Your voice is recorded with some music and you hear it when someone calls.Now you can have a different sound for every person you know. Your address book is used to find out w 91 is calling. Then it plays a different song for each person. If your best friend likes a special song, he can hear it, too!You have to be c 92 with the song you choose, though. Some songs can cause trouble. If your family call you, they don’t want to hear a noisy pop song with silly words! You should choose something that sounds nice. Some sounds are very noisy and fast, which make people angry. Ringtones are fun, but they should not make people angry at you!(13)“Just sign here, sir,” the deliveryman said as he handed Oscar Reyna a package.The package consisted of a long, narrow box, c___86___ wrapped(包装) in brown paper. Opening the box, Oscar saw an umbrella inside – a very old one with a beautifully carved handle. A___87___ he had not seen it for more than 20 years, he recognized it immediately.Oscar was 16 when he first saw the u___88___ umbrella. He had gone to a concert with his grandparents, as they were leaving, he noticed an umbrella on an empty seat.

When he rang the bell, the door opened, and an elderly woman appeared. “May I help you?” she asked.“I’d like to r___90___ it if it’s yours,” Oscar said, holding out the umbrella as if presenting a gift that had long been wished for.“Why, yes! It’s mine,” replied Mrs. O’Brien with a wide smile and shining eyes. “It was given to me by my father years ago. Thank you so much ! May I offer you a reward f___91___ your kindness?”“No, ma’am,” he said, “My grandmother says a good deed is its own reward.”Years later, Oscar was staring at the finely carved handle of the umbrella as he remembered Mrs. O’Brien. It was in perfect condition, considering how old it was. Why had it a___92___ here today?As if in answer, a note fell from the paper. It read: Mrs. O’Brien wanted you to accept this umbrella as a present for a kind, unselfish gesture long ago.Keys(1)86. being 87. turn 88.good 89. like 90.purposely 91. resources 92. nervous(2)86. biggest 87. hours 88. spoken 89. without 90. difficult 91.
