上海市中考英语首字母填空练习首字母填空类短文题是近几年各省、市中考题经常采用的题型之一，这种题难度相对较大，考生失分现象很严重。

主观型首字母填空也称为限制型完形填空。

它的特点是将一篇文章中若干个词“掏空”，留下该词的首字母，它既作为提示又作为限制，让我们根据短文的意思把单词拼写完整，使文章连贯。

学生们在通读全文、掌握大意的前提下，采用先易后难，再逐项填空的应试策略。

做题时要通过字里行间来捕捉信息，既要理清逻辑，又要综合考虑，最后通过复读全文来消除疏漏。

给首字母填空类短文的阅读题属于能力测试的范畴，它考查的范围极广，可以是英语知识的方方面面，还可能涉及其它学科。

它要求考生在充分理解短文的基础上将单词拼写出来，并且单词形式合理，符合语法规范，符合短文需要。

下面就讲一讲做这类题的方法与技巧：1.通读短文知大意，看整体全面了解与阅读理解题和其它类型的完形填空一样，首先要通读短文，了解文章的大意。

每篇短文段落之间必然承上启下、前呼后应。

因此通读全文时要一气呵成，只要能了解短文的大意即可，细节不理解可以跳过。

因此，在解题之前通读一遍短文，目的是对文章有个全面的了解，弄清其中心思想和大意。

2.复读短文抓信息，前后照应巧猜词在了解文章大意的前提之下再次通读短文，目的是对短文有更进一步的了解。

在阅读时要特别注意一篇文章的开头（一般不设空）和结尾，它们能提供主要的信息，帮助了解全文所描述的事件或文章的中心思想。

在阅读过程中，要注意上、下文的关系，这对于把握文章的整体意义大有用处。

另外，要学会跳读，即对不理解的地方采用暂时回避的方式，待真正理解全文之后再找解决的方法。

有些短文填空题，有时出现约3%~5% 的生词是很正常的，这就要求学生根据构词知识或上、下文的意思加以猜测，来确定它的词义。

3.反复推敲多分析，慎重答题讲技巧再次通读短文，对留空的句子进行全面的分析，看它在全文中所处的位置、作用和意义。

这一遍阅读要求是精心阅读，要留心找出关键词、短语或句子，还要结合所给首字母的提示，进行填写，并注意单词的正确形式。

The iPhone5 was not on display at the store, a headphones（耳机）designed for the phone were on display.Apple is stepping up its efforts to expand its presence in China. Browett said a store in south China's city of Shenzhen is "just about to open" and "m stores are coming across China.""We are looking foward to s every Chinese customer in every city," said Browett. "But that's going to take us some time."Smart phones have overtaken（赶上）desktop computers as the primary means of accessing the Internet for most Chinese, according to data from the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC).CNNIC data indicates that 388 million Chinese regularly surfed the Internet via their mobile phones at the e of June.Apple has 390 retail stores around the world. The Wangfujing store is its third in Beijing and sixth on the Chinese mainland.答案open with whether although more serving end2Let me hazard（冒险）a wild guess: the system of passwords you use on the internet – for accessing online banking, email, shopping sites, Twitter and Facebook accounts – is a mess.You know perfectly well what you ought to be doing: for e site you visit, you should be choosing a different, complex sequence of letters, numbers and symbols, and then memorising it. But you don't do this.So instead you use the s familiar words for every site – your dog's name, the name of your street – with occasional ingenious(灵巧的) permutations(排列), such as adding "123" at the end. Or maybe you do try to follow the rules, in which case you're p constantly getting locked （卡住）out of your bank account or trying to remember the answers to various absurd（荒谬的）security questions. ("What was your favourite sport as a child?") And things are getting w : these days, you find yourself forced to choose passwords with both upper- and lower-case letters(大小写字母), and how can normal human being remember multiple combinations of those? Not you, that's for sure.One reason not to feel too guilty（内疚的）about your bad password behaviour is that it seems to be almost universal. Last month, an analysis of leaked pin numbers （泄露密码）revealed that about one in 10 of us uses "1234"; a recent security breach at Yahoo s that thousands of users' passwords were either "password", "welcome", "123456" or "ninja".This is where the length of your password makes an almost unbelievable d . For a hacker with the computing power to make 1,000 guesses per second, a five-letter, purely random, all-lower-case password, such as "fpqzy", would take three and three-quarter hours to crack(打开). Increase the number of letters to 20 and the cracking t increases, just a little bit: it's 6.5 thousand trillion centuries.The least hackable password, then, would be a long string of c random letters, numbers, spaces and symbols – but you'd never remember it. However, because length matters（要紧）so much, the surprising truth is that a longish(稍长的) string of random English words, all in lower case – say, "awoken wheels angling（钓鱼）ostrich" – is actually much more secure than a s password that follows your bank's annoying rules, such as "wq89453".One day, we may not have to worry about a of this: there are innovations（创新）in development that might replace passwords entirely. Touchscreens could be configured（安装）to detect subtle aspects of your interactions with your computer – the distances between your fingers, the speeds at which you tap and scroll.答案each same probably worse showed difference time completely shorter any3Next time you get your debit card（借记卡）out, you might want to use it to buy some hand wash.A study has found that n one in 10 bank cards contains faecal（粪便的）matter. Cash is little better with one in seven bank notes containing high levels ofbacteria similar to that found in a dirty toilet bowl.The research, carried out at Queen Mary, University of London，showed our hands are therefore dirtier than we might t .26 percent of hands sampled showed traces of faecal contamination (污染)including bacteria such as E.coli, the study f .And we may be making ourselves ill as a result. A further survey of the 272 participants revealed only 39 percent washed their hands b eating.The vast majority (91 percent) of respondents（应答者）also stated that they washed their hands after using the toilet, although the levels of faecal organisms contaminating the cards and currency suggested otherwise(另一面), researchers said.Washing hands with soap can r diarrhoeal（腹泻的）infections by up to 42 percent but only 69 percent of people reported doing this whenever possible.Dr Ron Cutler, who led the research at Queen Mary, said: 'Our analysis revealed （显示）that by handling cards and money each day we are coming into contact with some potential pathogens （病原体）revealing faecal contamination including E. coli and Staphylococci.'People may tell us they wash their hands but the research shows us d , and highlights just how easily transferable（可转移的）these pathogens are, surviving on our money and cards.'Dr Val Curtis said: 'Our research shows just how important handwashing is - the surprising levels of contamination that we found on everyday objects is a sign that people are forgetting to wash their hands after the toilet, one of the key m for infection（感染）prevention.''We hope this study makes people think t and encourages people to wash their hands after going to the toilet and before eating.'答案nearly think found before reduce different moments twice4Just A Little SmileMike was walking home from school one day when he noticed a boy ahead of him had tripped and dropped all of the books he was c , along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a tape recorder. Mike knelt（跪下）down and helped the boy p up the scattered articles. Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry part of the burden.As they walked, Mike discovered the boy's name was James, that he loved video games, baseballand history, and that he was having lots of t with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.They arrived at James' home first, and Mike was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs and some shared small talk, then Mike went home.They continued to see each other around school, had lunch t once or twice, then both graduated from junior high school. They ended up in the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years.Finally the long awaited senior year came and three weeks before graduation, James asked Mike if they coud talk.James reminded him of the day years ago when they first met. "Did you ever w why I was carrying so many things?" asked James. "You see, I cleaned out my locker because I didn't want to leave a mess for anyone e . I stored away some of my mother's sleeping pills. I was going home to commit suicide（自杀）. But after we spent some time talking and laughing, I realized that if I k myself, I would have missed that time and so many others might follow. So you see, Mike, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more for me. You saved my life."答案carrying pick trouble together wonder else killed5Evolution（进化）has changed our bodies and f over thousands of years — and it’s still happening.Here’s how leading anatomical（解剖学的）experts predict our descendants（后裔）will differ physically from us in 1,000 years from now.We’ll be taller at 6-7 feet b of improved nutrition and medical science. Osteopath Garry Trainer, from north London, says: “The average American is about one inch taller than in 1960.”Our intestines (肠)will get shorter so we don’t absorb as much fat and sugar — a natural w of avoiding obesity（肥胖）, says dentist Dr Philip Stemmer.If male fertility（生育能力）declines（下降）further, there will be smaller testicles（睾丸）.Our most used extremities（四肢）will change dramatically. Arms and fingers get longer to reduce the need to reach too far and nerve endings in hands and fingers will increase because of the greater use of devices such as iPhones that n complex eye-hand coordination.We’ll have smaller brains, maybe because so much memorising and thinking is done by our computers. “Science fiction images show humans of the future with huge brains but big brains are not necessarily the best,” says Chris Stringer, from the Natural History Museum.There will be large eyes to compensate（弥补）for smaller mouths. Cary Cooper of Lancaster University, explains: “Communication will rely on facial expressions and eye movements.”Dentist Dr Stemmer also thinks there could be fewer teeth as s food needs less chewing and biting. He says: “We could even get our nutrition from liquids or pills in the future, which could mean less teeth and receded jaws.”Expect people to have quadruple（四倍）chins （下巴）. “Our bodies were designed for eating less and using more energy than a m lifestyle requires,” says Rajiv Grover, a consultant plastic surgeon.We can expect other dramatic changes too.Everyone will have the same s of noses because climate is having less influence on broad or narrow hooters thanks to air conditioning and central heating.Central heating and warm clothing m we’ll be less hairy but there’ll be more wrinkles（皱纹）as a result of peering at our electronic devices.We could end up with saggy（下垂的）turkey necks too because extra sun will cause loose skin and baggy（膨胀的）eyelids. And there will be darker skin as people move around the planet and races mix.答案faces because way need softer modern shape meansWeek 31Strikes are very c in Britain. They are extremely h to its industry. In fact, there are other countries in Western Europe that lose more working days through strikes every year than Britain. The t with the strikes in Britain is that they occur （出现）in essential（主要的）industries. There are over 495 unions in Britain. Some unions are very small. Over 20 have more than 100,000 members. Unions do not exist only to demand h wages（工资）. They also educate their members. They provide benefits for the sick and try to i working conditions. Tradeunioners say that we must thank the unions for the great improvement in working conditions in the last hundred years. It is now against the law for union members to go on strike w the support of their union. This kind of strike is called the unofficial strike and was common until recently. Employers feel that unofficial strikes were most harmful because they would not be predicted. H , these unofficial strikes still occur from time to time and some unions have also refused to cooperate with the law. As a result, the general picture of the relations between workers and employers in Britain has gone from bad to w .答案common h armful trouble higher improve without However worse2You should not fear spiders because of their poison毒. Of all the spiders in North America, only one kind is really dangerous and m would not bite even if they were handled. They much prefer to run away or to drop to the ground on a thread 线of silk. Even so, when a spider r directly toward a person, it gives the impression that it is about to a . Actually, it can not see the person in this way.

However, scientists are not certain when the eruption will happen or what it will cause.Unlike what happens in the movie 2012, a volcano eruption would not destroy the whole world, b 89it could cause huge damage to people living nearby. For example, the 2010 eruption of the Iceland Volcano caused more than 800 people to 1 90 their homes and many airports in European countries to shut down for a few days.There are more than 1,500 active volcanoes in the world.

That means the city is always f (90) of hairlessbelievers. Often waiting for 10 hours or more, believers f (91) enter the shaving area. On average thetemple's 1,600 barbers shave over 15 heads an hour. The temple then sells piles of hair to local wigmakers ( 假发店). The money is used to help the area's poor and make sure the a (92) hair temple of India keeps going.Believe it.(十二)Have you ever noticed an advertisement which says "Learn a foreign language in six weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send ..." and so on? Of course, it n 86happens quite like that. The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue.

Now speaking the foreign language is w 87 most people want.Every year millions of people start learning one. How do they do it? Some people try at home, with books and tapes; some u 88 radio or television programs; others go to evening classes. If they use the language onlytwo or three times a week, learning it will t 89 a long time, like language learning at school. A few peopletry to learn a language f 90 by studying for six or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is s 9l . However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is notnecessary. They need the language in order to do their work b 92 . For example, scientists and doctors mainly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learned quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the students' work.(十三)Today, the largest remaining area of hutongs( 胡同) in Beijing is north of Forbidden City. This is where many Chinese and foreign tourists come for ahutong tour ” . We asked several of these tourists to tell us aboutWhen you visit the modern part of Beijing --- with the wide roads, tall buildings and colorfullights--- you can 's the old hutongs,temples and palaces that are really（Yu,Guangzhou ）I don ' t see what ' s so interesting about these hutongs.

Let ' s get rid of these hutongs and change them into modern offices and flats.for bicycles. In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans had an idea. They believed that it would bebetter for everybody if only bicycles were a 86 in the city center. They hoped that thiswould help to save energy, reduce pollution and provide free transport. The group paintedhundreds of bicycles white and placed them in public places around Amsterdam for people touse. Anyone was able touse them for s 87 journeys, whether he was a local or a foreigner. Wherever someone finished a journey, they would l 88 the bicycle there for someone else to use.
