中考英语首字母特训20篇【1】Most people think that the c__________1__ of the movie world is Hollywood in the United States. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and so the film industry there is called “Bollywood”. Bollywood makes twice as many as movies each year as Hollywood—more than 800 films a year.The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are much l__________2__ than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, action, romance and so on. Because Bollywood films contain so many different features, this style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film. (“masala” is an Indian word for a mixture of spices.)A 3 big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way movies are made. It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script(剧本) is even finished. The directors and writers can make up the story while the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the script by hand i 4 of taking time to type it.Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot scenes(到现场实拍)for several films on the same day using the same costumes(服装). S__________5___ most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors and directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies l 6 than the cost of Hollywood movies. The average Bollywood film, with a budget of only two million U.S. dollars, seems very cheap c 7 to the average budget of sixty million US. dollars for a Hollywood film—thirty times as much.1.capital2. longer3.

That is w 1 "keeping up with the Joneses" is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbours.The expression was f 2 used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning (挣) $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very rich neighbourhood o 3 New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired (雇) a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never f 4 this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could not pay for their new way of life any 1 5 .They moved back to New York City, living in an old flat.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people did things just to keep up with the rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories about this. He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses" because "Jones" is a very c 6 name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with the rich lifestyle of the people around you.

You see another and another. Everybody holds a cup! What are they all drinking? You s 93 the air in Seattle. It's coffee!People in Seattle love coffee. Some say it's because Seattle has many rainy d 94 and people need coffee to be happy. There is caffeine in coffee and it helps people be happy. These people like latte (拿铁咖啡) better. Others say coffee shops are popular because people in Seattle are very relaxed. They need coffee to stop them from falling a 95 easily. These people like espresso (浓咖啡) better.Coffee shops in Seattle are like teahouses in China. In Seattle, people go to coffee shops to talk to friends, read books, play games, work on the computer or relax. Coffee is an important p 96 of people's life.

When they give it a p_________ and jump in for their first ride, smiles of wonder break out on their faces.The fun of going round and round in a circle is just part of the wonder. This i_________ doesn’t just change their play-time. It changes their lives.As the merry-go-round(旋转木马) starts, it pumps(泵送) clean water up from deep underground and keeps it in a huge tank (桶). People are welcome to come and help t_________ to the water for free.In the countryside of Africa, few people drink clean water. They don’t have water equipment in their homes. Instead, they often walk a long way to carry water back.Patricia Molope, 15, explains that b_________ her South African village got a PlayPump, people would pay a taxi driver to take them to a well far from their homes. "Sometimes the taxi drivers were busy and we would have to stop b_________ in order to save water. It was too far to walk there, but now we have our own clean water in our village, and life is better."The hard job of carrying water usually is done by women and girls. Carrying water for miles, and hours each day is such a big job that it sometimes prevents girls f_________ being able to go to school.Thanks to the PlayPump, getting water is quick and easy—and even boys join in. The pumps have become a new activity. Kids and adults seem to love playing with them while collectingwater.Twelve-year-old boy Khumalo says, "I have seen many kinds of water pumps, but never one that can keep water. When I grow up, I want to be an inventor so I can invent clever things like the PlayPump that will help my country."So far, more than 800 PlayPumps are operating in schools and neighborhoods in four African countries, p_________ water for almost two million people.push invention themselves before bathing from providing7Listening to music can be fun, but it can also cause many problems. When I was a young girl, I used to listen to pop music while doing homework. The only problem was that I listened to it very l 85 . At that time, I lived with my parents. They hated hearing my loud music particularly at night. It was unpleasant to them. I had to use headphones (耳机) in order not to make n 86 when I wanted to enjoy some music. I always listened to the music two or three levels too high. This brought more damage to my eardrums (耳膜) than listening to music in a(n) o 87 space.After damaging my eardrums, I felt like (感到好似) I was always asking people to repeat themselves. And a 88 I had to do that a lot. I could no longer clearly hear what they were saying. This became a big headache to me. At university I had to sit in the front of the classroom so I could hear the lecture. This meant that i 89 I was not on time for class and had to sit in the back, I couldn’t not hear the teacher at all. The result was that I didn’t get good grades.After completing university, I began doing sales job for a living. Because I couldn’t hear clearly, my customers often c90 that I wasn’t paying attention when they were talking. That wasn’t good for business. Finally I decided to get a hearing aid (助听器). Normally hearing aids are for the o 91 , but for me loud music caused me to have one about thirty years too soon.85. loudly86. noises87. open88. actually89. if90. complained91. old8There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists t 92 . The king looked at all the pictures. But there were o 93 two he really liked, and he had to choose between them.One picture was of a beautiful lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful mountains all around it. Overhead was a b 94 sky with white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.The other picture had mountains, too. But these were lifeless and awful. Above was an angry sky, and from the sky rain was f 95 and wind was blowing. Down the side of the mountain there was a running waterfall (瀑布). This did not l 96 peaceful at all.But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a small tree growing in a h 97 in the rock. In the tree a mother bird had built her nest (巢). There, in the midst of the angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest—in perfect peace.Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture. Do you know why? "Because," explained the king, "peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, t 98 , or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm (平静的) in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace."D) 92. tried 93. only 94. blue 95. falling 96. look 97. hole 98.

Jack knew that she was the head of social services, and was s_________ she could help.He reached out his hand to touch her, and said, "Can you help me? I’m looking hard for my dad."His hands were so cold that Amelia could not help holding them. She said, "What’s up?" "My mom is sick and too weak to get up. Her birthday is c oming. I know my father’s coming back would be the best p_________. We really love him, and need him.""So what’s his name? What does he do?" Amelia asked.He said, "I’ve no idea.

She said to Amelia, "P lease find a home for my son. Please don’t leave him a_________ in the world."With t_________ running from her eyes, Amelia took her hand and said, “I will take care of him and love him as my own son”.

As one of the youngest students to graduate from a two-year college at the age of 11, Moshe Kai Cavalin hasevery reason to be proud of h 92 .But Cavalin said, “I feel proud, but not too proud, because it is the enemy of learning.”Cavalin graduated from the East Los Angeles Community College. What surprised m 93 is not only his young age, but his excellent performance: he is one of the three graduates from the college who had a high score.When he first went to the college at the age of 8, professors treated him like a child. But later, he became one of the c 94 and got along pretty well with the other students who were 18 years and older.The 11-year-old college graduate is going to write a book about his secrets on how he graduated from college at 11 w 95 going to primary school and high school.“I want to be a scientist like Albert Einstein,” said Cavalin.Cavalin’s mother Sandy Chien comes from Taiwan, and his father is from Brazil. Chien said her son s 96 his talent (天赋) at the age of two. He learned very fast and liked to watch TV and read children’s books.“I tried to send my son to the elementary school, but I found that he learned too fast and very often he had n 97 to do during the lessons. So I decided to teach him at home.” said Chien.Like many Chinese parents, Chien sent her son to a private school to learn the piano at 4, and later sent him to learn Chinese Kung Fu. At age 7, Cavalin had c 98 high school at home.Being born in America, English is his mother language. He can also speak French. He likes to play games with friends of the same age. However, he has a good relationship with the students who are 10 years older than him at college.92 himself 93 many/most 94 class 95 without 96 showed 97 nothing98 completed1112When Chinese people find out that someone comes from London, they often say, "London is a foggy city, isn't it?" British people who visit China often have to say that London is not a foggy city at all! In fact, London u 92 to be a foggy city, but it isn't any more.In London, lots of its pollution came from factories, but a lot of it came from coal (煤) because people burned it in their houses to keep w 93 during the winter. By the 1950s, London's air pollution had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean up the air. A new rule was made. It said thatn 94 was allowed to burn coal in any British city. Just a few years later, the air became much cleaner.Now many Chinese cities meet the same kind of p 95 with air pollution that London met forty or fifty years ago. However, it is more d 96 for Chinese cities to solve it. First, more of the pollution comes from big factories than from coal that people use in their houses. If these factories are suddenly c 97 , lots of people will lose their jobs. Second, cleaner fuels are quite expensive. However, the air inmany cities is already s 98 becoming cleaner, because the government and ordinary people are trying to make pollution less.92. used 93. warm 94. nobody 95. problem 96. difficult 97. closed 98. slowly13Shanghai, a beautiful city during the day, becomes even more wonderful at night.At the end of the day, both the older part of the city around the Bund and the more m 92 buildings in Pudong are full of colorful bright lights. The buildings, both new and old, look c 93 different and very exciting.If you look across the Huangpu River, you can see the brilliant Oriental Pearl TV Tower and the Jinmao Tower. Take a boat a 94 the river and you can see the amazing nightlife on the Bund. There are more than 30 tour boats, including ancient dragon boats in the Ming and Qing styles and boats made in the Shikumen style.If you prefer w 95 in the streets, try the famous Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street (步行街). There are busy shops and cafes and you will see thousands of local people enjoying themselves. Most of the shops close at 10 pm but at that time, teahouses are still open. In fact, some of them are open 24 hours a day. Karaoke bars and coffee houses are also popular nightlife places where you can meet friends and make new o 96 .If you are in Shanghai for the first time, make sure you also visit Xingtiandi, a very popular a 97 where you can see buildings in Western and Chinese style side by side. Xingtiandi is a great place for young people, but it may be a little n 98 for older visitors! A quieter place to visit is Park 97, near the west gate of Fuxing Park, Luwan District. Park 97 opened in 1997 and you can find clubs and international restaurants like Baci where you ca n get Italian food and Tokyo Joe’s, a Japanese restaurant.92. modern 93. completely 94. along 95. walking 96. ones 97. area/attraction98. noisy/noisier14Eyes Can SpeakMuch meaning can be carried clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.Do you have such kind of e 92 ? In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he f 93 that he is being looked at, he may feel uncomfortable. The same is in the daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at y 94 up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward the person who is looking at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be r 95 . But sometimes things are different. If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds, it may mean that he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he loves her. W 96 two people are in a conversation, the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what he or she is speaking.

An excellent e 92 of this happen when Britain and China worked together to bring the Milu deer back to China.Milu deer, a kind of animal with large horns(角), used to be c 93 in China long ago. People could see Milu deer in most places at that time. Like other deer they lived together and ate grass and the soft parts of trees. But later, Milu deer were often killed for food or sport. The Ming and Qing dynasties(朝代) did not protect them and many were killed. That is how the Milu deer d 94 from China.Luckily b 95 all of them were killed, some were taken to Britain to improve the environment of the beautiful park which belonged to the Duke of Bedford(贝德福特公爵). He liked them so much that he took them from China to Britain. Milu deer liked the cool, wet weather in England and their number increased year by year. As a result, when in 1985 the government of China wanted to bring back the Milu deer, the Duke of Bedford was able to h 96 . The first deer came back to China to the Nanhaizi Milu Park 20 kilometers south of Beijing and the centre in Dafeng, Jiangsu Province.The deer certainly seem h 97 to be back in China as their number has grown quickly. There are now so many of them that a new park has been opened for them in Hubei Province. At the moment the Milu deer live in centres where they are being w 98 protected and cared for. It is told that one day there will be enough animals to let them live in the wild again.16Test scores make you either happy or sad and your parents pay high attention to your test results. You spend days filling in blanks, trying to make the best a (92) to question after question. Maybe you tried your hardest or maybe you n (93) tried! What you need to remember is that a test is a picture of your ability from just one day. It consists of some pieces including your health, your personality, your interests, and your motivation. You need to look at all the pieces to get a clear i (94) of your progress. So whether your scores are higher than you thought, or l (95) than you had hoped, try not to think of them as what you will be at last. It probably c (96) you why your scores have become the focus of your life. The purpose of a test is to check how much you have learned about a subject. It not only helps make your newly acquired knowledge forever, but also enables you to find out what needs to spend more time improving. If you’re p (97) with the results, encourage yourself to work for a further aim. If disappointment has overcome you, ask your teacher and your parents to help you set a reasonable goal for improvement. Most exams are about to test your skill in certain subject areas such as math, language and arts. Some compare your skills to other students’ skills from across the country, o (98) just test whether or not you have mastered a specific skill. These scores can be very puzzling…even to adults. You should speak to both your teacher and your parents to find out what they mean in your educational journey. It is important to take a correct attitude towards test scores.92. answer 93. never 94. idea 95. lower 96. confuses 97. pleased 98. others；17Several years ago, a famous TV series named Struggle (奋斗) made a beautiful girl famous in China. She is Wang Luodan, who played the role(扮演) of Mi Lan in this TV series. Then she r___92___ a lot of applause(掌声) and praise.When Wang Luodan first went to Secondary Normal School （师范中专）, she began to show her ability in art and literature(文学). She was the o 93 one in her school who could play the drums, besides playing the piano and dancing well. “I felt that I was very cool at that time.” Wang said.In 2001, Wang Luodan entered the Beijing Film Academy(学院), learning performance. She worked hard as a c 94 student and had great patience. When her classmates became famous, she was not w 95 or disappointed.Her first TV series was Butterfly in the Air. Because of her sweet appearance, she was chosen for the role of Shan Juan in the TV series Sun Shining like Blossom. In order to play the role well, Wang cut her long h 96 and missed the chance to appear in the movie Qinghong.Last year, The TV series My youthfulness was very p 97 . Wang Luodan played Qian Xiaoyang, a confident, lovely and garrulous（喋喋不休的）country girl. Now many of Qian Xiaoyang’s classic(经典的) words are very popular on the Internet such as “The time is too slim as well as the slot of fingers is too broad. (时间太瘦，指缝太宽。

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

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

Why? Because when money is spent, we can get it back. However, when time is g 2 _, it will never r 3 _ . That’s why we mustn’t waste time. It goes without saying that t he t 4 _ is usually limited（有限的）. Even a second is very important. We should make full use of our time to do s 5 useful. But it is a pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the i 6 of time. They spent their limited time smoking, drinking and p 7 _. They do not know that wasting time means wasting part of their own l 8_ _. In a word, we should save time. We shouldn’t l 9_ _ today’s work for tomorrow. Remember we have n 10 time to lose.十一Andy was born in China 15 years ago．In 2005, she m 1 to the USA with her family．As a high school student，she has found many differences b 2 Chinese and Americans：About money1) Americans like to spend m 3 than they have，so many of them are always in debt(欠债)．But Chinese usually spend less than they have, so many 0f them always have m 4 left in the bank．2) The American kids themselves make their own money．Most Chinese kids always a 5 their parents for money．3) Many American parents think there is n 6 need to send their children t0 an expensive university．It’s different in China．Many Chinese parents would do anything to send their children to expensive universities t 7 their family isn’t rich enough．About school1) Many American girls take part in sports，dancing and singing groups while many Chinese girls take part in study groups．2) Many American students think that B is good while many Chinese students think that B is too b 8 .About friendsMost American parents let their sons or daughters make friends by t 9 . They never ask them about their friends while Chinese parents usually enjoy knowing more about their children’s friends i 10 many different ways，and usually stop them from staying out too late with friends．十二Do you have bright ideas? Ideas for inventions that c 1 the world or, at least, make life easier for somebody. P 2 we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea a real thing. Recently, there was a competition in a country, which e 3 young people to make their bright ideas come true. There were t 4_ groups in the contest: Group A was for school children under 16; Group B was for those o 5_ 16. And there were eleven prize-winners altogether.Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was c 6_ “Sunshine Superman” by one newspaper writing about his design. When people study the weather, it’s important to be able to record the sunshine accurately(准确地，精确地). We need to know how many h 7_ of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders o _8 record direct (直接的) sunshine. Neil’s is more accurate and this is very i 9 for research into ways of using solar power（太阳能）. Neil plans to keep inventing.The ideas in the competition were so g 10 that we are surprised that the industry (工业界) doesn’t ask more school children for suggestions.十三British teenagers can leave school at sixteen after taking their GCSE exams. They study for exams in as many as ten subjects, s 1 they have to work prett y hard! Today’s teens spend more time doing their homework than any teenagers in the past, s 2 for 2.5 –3 hours every evening.Free TimeIt’s not all work, of course. What do British teenagers do to have f 3 ? They love watching TV, going out, meeting friends in Internet cafés and listening to music.CommunicationsIn addition to the Internet, teenagers in Britain use their computers to play games and do their homework. They a 4 love their mobile phones, and spend hours texting (发短信) their friends and chatting. Today, phones are getting smaller and lighter and you can do a lot more w 5 them than just talk. Text messaging has b 6 the coolest and most popular way to communicate. More than 90% of 12- to 16-year-olds have a mobile, and experts say that this stops t 7 from spending their money on sweets and cigarettes.Fashion (服饰)At school, almost all British teenagers have to w 8 a school uniform. However, in their free t 9 they can wear whatever they like, and what they like is designer names such as Nike, Diesel and Paul Smith. In fact, 40% of British teens say that they think it is important to have the latest fashion. Looking good doesn’t come c 10 , but many teenagers think it usual or easy to spend more than ￡100 on one item of clothing.十四My nine-year-old daughter, Maria, is in Year Four. Every evening we get into h 1 battles (争执). Three afternoons a week, she has a 2 (net-ball, singing) after school and by the time we get home, homework is thel 3 thing she feels like doing. The other two days, she gets home early and we argue (争论) about w 4 she should do her homework r 5 after school, or if she should have some time to rest and play f 6 When Maria at last sits down to do her homework, she seems to want me there helping all the time. I do want to help her, but I'm s 7 that she is going to need to be able to do iton her o 8 And in f 9 , most of the time, I have other things I need to be doing. It seems that children these days have much more homework than we did, and some of it is really beyond (超越) their a 10 .As you can see, I'm really worried about homework and I really don’t know what I should do. Any ideas?十五When you finish high school or university, is learning done? The answer is “no”. In many countries, people continue learning all their lives. Why is lifelong (终身的)learning important? How can it help you? Let’s look at one e 1 of lifelong learning in Japan.You go to school and learn. You study. You take tests B 2 learning doesn’t only happen in school. Learning doesn’t s 3 when you graduate from high school or college. You are learning all the time. For example, learning can h 4 when you go to a museum. It can a 5 happen when you get a job. You learn when you p 6 a sport or when you take a trip. Learning is l 7 ! We never stop learning. Every day you can improve yourself by learning something n 8 .In Japan, lifelong learning is very important. People in Japan like to try new learning a 9 . Music, calligraphy (书法) and foreign languages are some of their f 10 classes. Japanese take classes to improve their skills and learn new things.When we graduate from school, we can continue to learn. Make lifelong learning become one of your goals!十六On May 23, six pandas left an important panda base (基地) in Wolong, southwest China’s Sichuan Province, because of damaged (损坏的) s 1 and food shortages after the May 12 earthquake, a local official said.The pandas were t 2 by trucks from China Giant Panda Protection and ResearchC 3 to Ya’an, another base less affected by the earthquake, said Xiong Beirong, an official of Sichuan Provincial Forestry Bureau (林业局).Eight other pandas l 4 for the Chengdu Research Base on May 18.

Sometimes it makes things difficult for me.One day I wanted to see my friend nearby. I could a 2 at his house in five minutes, but I looked at my mobile phone and thought i 3 would be better to ring him up. I r 4 him for the first time, but the line was busy. Five minutes later, there was an answer, but it was the wrong number. Then I tried a 5 and this time I got an answer from him.I asked him if he was at home in the afternoon. And he said--at 1 6 I thought he said--hewould be at home all afternoon. So I went to his house, but then I found n 7 in. I called him for the fourth time. This time I got so angry that I s 8 , "You are not at home? But you just told me over the telephone that you would be at home all afternoon!"Here w 9 his answer, "No, I said: 'I will NOT be at home all afternoon.'"I went back to my room, sat down in front of the mobile phone and looked at it. What e 10 could I do? Nothing!十八We were singing, “Happy birthday to you…” My mother was smiling, surrounded by my father, my little sister and me.It was time to send wi shes. My father said, “You’ve done m 1 things for us. On this special day, let me d 2 all the housework for you.” After kissing my mother, my sister said, “Mum, you’re a g 3 mum in my eyes.” I l 4 at my mother’s eyes and said, “Dear mum, I am always waitin g for one day when you and Dad get old.” My parents seemed puzzled (困惑), and I explained, “When you’re old, I will take care of you just like you take care of me.” There were tears in their eyes…Yes, w 5 they get old, I will take care of them. These words were in my mind f 6 a long time, and at last I said them to my dear parents. I felt v 7 happy.My parents are just common people, b 8 they’re great. Like other parents, they bring us up with love, and give us food and c 9 . They teach us how to be real people. My parents have done a lot of things for me and I am very thankful to them.However, they will not always be able to take care of me. One day, they will get old. They may not even be able to take care of t 10 . But that doesn’t matter. I, their child, will take charge.十九Tom was a poor boy．He made a living by cleaning leather(皮革) s 1 for others in the street．Tom was also a b 2 boy．One day，a rich man n 3 Miser appeared in front of Tom．He watched his d 4 shoes for a while，and then，looked at Tom．Tom knew this kind of people well．They love money but hate to spend it．Tom said，“Let me b 5 your shoes，sir．Only two pence(便土)，sir．Mr．Miser shook his head and walked away．Tom thought for a second and then called out，‘‘I’d like to clean it for nothing．”This time Mr．Miser agreed．And soon one of his shoes was shining brightly．When the rich man put his other shoe on the stool(凳子)，Tom said he wouldn’t clean it for him u 6 he was paid two pence for his work．Mr．Miser was very a 7 .

初中英语首字母填空两千题。

提高版全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇12,000 Fill-in-the-Blank First Letter Questions for Middle School English, Advanced EditionOh man, you guys won't believe what my English teacher just assigned our class. It's this huge book of 2,000fill-in-the-blank questions where you have to supply the missing first letter to complete the word or phrase. And this isn't just any old fill-in-the-blank book - it's the dreaded "Advanced Edition"!I remember last year we had to do the regular edition for our homework and I thought that was brutal. Page after page of sentences with a blank line where you had to write in the first letter. Like "The _og ran after the frisbee." Or " _aris is the capital of France." Over and over again until your hand cramped up from writing so much.Well, this advanced edition is supposed to be way harder. The intro says it's designed to "challenge students' vocabulary and critical thinking skills to the utmost." Yeah, no kidding! It claims the sentences use "advanced lexical constructions andsophisticated contextual clues." Whatever that means, it can't be good for those of us who just want to kick back and surf YouTube after school.From the few sample questions I peeked at, this book is no joke. The sentences are absolutely riddled with blank lines, sometimes three or four per sentence. Like "The _rofligate_onductor's _ompletely _acophonous _erformance was a _iasco." How're we supposed to figure out words like "profligate" and "cacophonous"? Those aren't even normal English words as far as I'm concerned.And it's not just vocab from the ancient thesaurus they're testing us on. I saw another sample that was "_akehiko_awamura's _udoku _uzzles are _opular _astimes for the_ognitively _nclined." Okay, so now we're expected to know random Japanese names and words like sudoku too? This is an English book, right?The crazy thing is, we're supposed to complete the entire 2,000 question book for homework by the end of the semester! That's like 50 questions a night, every night, for months. My poor hand is going to fall off from writing all those first letters.My friends and I are hatching a plan to divide up the labor at least. Maybe Amy can do the first 500 questions, I'll take500-1000, Raj will do 1000-1500, and Ted the final 500. Then we'll pass around our answers and copy them so we can avoid the majority of the busywork. It's a solid plan in theory, but I just know there'll be some ridiculously hard ones that nobody gets right. Like "_ccletic _ifflopic _utons are all the _age among_vangelical _ramungrits these days." How are any of us supposed to decipher crazy sentences like that?Don't get me wrong, I know doing activities that stretch your vocabulary and reasoning abilities is important for learning a language. But 2,000 of the most diabolically trickyfill-in-the-blanks imaginable? Assigned all at once? By the time I'm done with this stupid book, half my brain cells will be dead from overexertion.Well, wish me luck. If you don't hear from me for a couple months, it's because I'll be spending every waking hour conjugating blank lines until my soul shrivels up and my pencil cracks in two. Advanced edition, here I come!篇22000 F_____ L______ F___-i_-t__-B______ Q_________ f__ M______ S______ E______: A_________ E______As a middle school student striving to improve my English skills, I was thrilled when our teacher announced we would be doing an "Advanced Edition" set of 2000 first letterfill-in-the-blank questions. This exercise promised to be challenging yet fun way to expand my vocabulary and reinforce proper spelling.For weeks, we diligently worked through the massive set of questions, racking our brains to determine the correct words based solely on the given first letters. It was like a giant, interactive word puzzle that pushed the limits of our English prowess.The q_______ r______ f___ e____ w___ t_ B_____ o__ P_______. Some were relatively straightforward words we had learned in previous units, like "r____" (rabbit) or "h_____" (happy). However, many others felt like brain teasers wrapped in an enigma, with first letters that could map to multiple possibilities.I vividly remember one q_______ t___ h__ e_______ s_______: "T__ m____ c______ f______ f___ t__ n_____ c_____ w__ t_______ u___ t__h____ r___." After spending far too long stuck on "c_____" (I mistakenly thought "cable"), I finally realized it was "c_____" (camel) - those famously stubborn pack animals perfectly suited for desert travel.Another immensely satisfying moment was cracking aq________ w____ m_______: "H__ m_____ d________ m______m_________ m________ o___ t__ m_______ m_______." Seeing that first "m" instantly set my mind whirring through a flurry of potential "-m" words before I landed on "meadow" - a grassy field covered in wildflowers. Picturing that vibrant scene truly brought the sentence to life.Of course, not every q_______ w__ q____ t___ s______ o__l_______ l______. Some of the trickier ones involved more obscure vocabulary or played cruelly with words that could start the same way (like "p______" - was it "plumber" or "pineapple"?). When I struggled, I found it helpful to use contextual clues, grammar patterns, and even silly memory tricks.For "T__ p______ p_______ p______ p______ p________ p______ o___ t__ p_____," I just had to imagine a tongue-twisting parade of purple...something...until the image of delightfully plump "plums" finally clicked.As the weeks progressed, I could feel my brain expanding, stretching to accommodate new words and spelling patterns. Breakfast became an amusing linguistic battlefield, my family snickering as I attempted queries like "P___, c__ I h___ s___ o______j____ w____ m_ t_____?" What started as a groan-worthy English exercise gradually became a fun brainteaser game.By the time we reached the final few hundred questions, my confidence was soaring. I didn't dread seeing those blanked-out letters anymore - I craved them, eager to flex my hard-earned skills and knock each quiz out of the proverbial park.When at last we tackled that final, 2000th fill-in-the-blank query, it was an unbelievable rush. Maybe the word itself was something relatively tame (I honestly can't recall), but conquering that mammoth set of questions filled me with an incredible sense of achievement. We had climbed the mountain, and the view from the summit was spectacular.Looking back on this intensive experience, I can definitely say those 2000 first letter fill-in-the-blank questions, while tremendously challenging, were an invaluable exercise that truly leveled-up my English abilities. My spelling improved tremendously, and I developed a much richer vocabulary arsenal. Just as importantly, I cultivated perseverance, creativity in problem-solving, and confidence in tackling daunting tasks head-on.So to any other middle school English learners out there, I highly encourage you to seek out challenging first letterfill-in-the-blank question sets like this "Advanced Edition." It may seem intimidating at first, but if you stick with it, you'll be amazed at how much you grow. Who knows, you might even find yourself having a little fun along the way!篇32000 Challenging First Letter Fill-in-the-Blank English Questions? Bring It On!As an English learner in middle school, I live for a good challenge. That's why I was stoked when my teacher announced we'd be doing 2000 first letter fill-in-the-blank questions to really put our vocabulary skills to the test. Finally, somenext-level material to sink my teeth into!At first, I'll admit, even I was a bit intimidated by the sheer number of questions. 2000? That's a lot of blank spaces to fill. But my competitive spirit kicked in and I knew this was my chance to prove my English prowess.The first few hundred questions were a breeze - just a warm up really. Words like 'a_cept' and 'b_lieve' were child's play. I flew through them with ease, feeling quite smug. This was going to be a piece of cake.Then we hit the 300s and things started getting trickier. Suddenly I was staring down the barrel of 'q_ixotic' and'p_omulgate'. Okay, now we're talking! I had to real_y put mybr_in to work for those obscure vocabulary words.By the 500s, I was d_voring my dictionary, frantically looking up def_nitions. 'H_ckles' raised on the back of my neck as Ireal_zed these were no l_nger warm-up q_estions. The level of d_fficulty was r_pidly r_mping up.As I cr_ssed into the 600s, sweat began to b_ad on my forep_ead. Forming the correct words from just /_nitial l_tters was like m_ntally u_tangling the m_st c_mplex /_nagram. Wh_ch l_tter c_mbination m_ant 'r_cluse'? I had to re_lly _str_tch my voc_bulary to its l_mits.The 700s were where I h_t the proverb_ial wall. I wasgr_pping at str_ws, ma_ing wild gu_sses at the rem_ining bl_nks. Was it 'o_durate' or 'o_noxious'? Who kn_w anymore...my br_in was turned to an _xhausted p_ol of alphabet s_up.Somehow, thr_ugh sh_er determ_nation and l_xicalacr_batics, I power_d thr_ugh to the 900s. These qu_stions felt more like _nigmas th_n v_cabulary ex_rcises. Wh_t onarth was the meaning of 'q_andar'? I was f_eling d_fluent in my _wn n_tive tongue.By some mir_cle, I limped across the fin_sh line of qu_stion 2000. My formerly conf_dent penm_nship was reduced to afr_ntic sc_ibble, just try_ng to k_ep up. I hadeen dra_ned of ev_ry last droof voc_bulary kn_wledge.As I basked in the sweet rel_ef of complet_on, panting from ment_l exhaust_on, I felt an immense sense of pr_de. Out of the thousands of quest_ons, maybe I'd gotten a couple hundred wrong - but I had surv_ved! I had conquere_ the Everest ofEng_ish tests.From that day forward, no voc_bulary ch_llenge could daunt me. Br_ng on the GRE w_rd lists, the SAT an_logy secti_ns - heck, even-an unabr_dged Engl_sh thes_urus! Thanks to th_se first letter fill-_n-the-blanks, my mastery of the Engl_sh language was truly insurmount_ble.。

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 asadding S at the end. Or maybe you do try to follow the rules, in which case you'rep 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 S4; a recent securitybreach at Yahoo s that thousands of users' passwords were either password, welcome, S456 orinja.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, afive-letter, purely random, all-lower-case password, such aspqzy, would take threeand 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 randomletters, 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 completelyshorter 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）oflevels high containing notes bank seven in one with better little is Cash matter. bacteria similar to that found in a dirty toilet bowl.The research, carried out at Queen Mary, University of London，showed ourhands 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.

Of all the spiders in North America, only one kind is really dangerous and m would not bite even if theywere handled. They much prefer to run away or to drop to the ground on a thread 线of silk.
