【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在乡下长大的经历让他受益颇深，一方面从小练习的烹饪让他在疫情期间过的更好，也节省了钱。另一方面，小时候做的农活教会了他许多知识，也带给了他许多城市朋友没有机会体验到快乐。

1．句意：因为我的父母经常回家晚，一个准备好的面团可以帮助我的家人早点吃晚饭。根据“a prepared dough would help my family have supper sooner”可推测出，我的父母回家晚，“晚，迟”结合首字母可知，其英文表达为late，根据“Since my parents often came home”可知，空格处应用副词原级，即late。故填(l)ate。

2．句意：我以为这很容易，因为我经常看到我妈妈做——只是把水和面粉混合，对吗？根据“because I often saw my mum do it — just mix water and flour, right”可知，我认为很简单，根据“it would be”可知，空格处为形容词，故“简单的”easy。故填(e)asy。

3．句意：结果一会儿之后是一团糟。根据“First I made the dough too soft. Then I made it too

hard”可知，并不如想象中那么简单，故可推测出，结果是一团糟，由“a”可知，空格处为一个名词，结合首字母m，可推测出为mess“杂乱，混乱局面”。故填(m)ess。

4．句意：后来，我做了炸菜和饺子之类的东西，我爱上了烹饪。根据“It’s a good way to relax”和“in love with”可知，我爱上了烹饪，“爱上”fall in love with，根据“cooked”可知，句子时态为一般过去时，故此处应用fall的过去式fell。故填(f)ell。

5．句意：更重要的是，多亏了我的厨艺，我在新冠病毒疫情流行期间生活得更好了。根据“I

live better”和“the COVID-19 pandemic”可知，“在……是在新冠病毒疫情期间，我过的更好了，期间”结合所给首字母d可知，其英文表达为during。故填(d)uring。

6．句意：这样既省钱又不用等送货员来给我送食物。根据“I cook every meal instead of ordering

takeout”和“money”可知，每顿饭我都自己做而不是叫外卖，故可以省钱，“节约，节省”save，根据“don’t”可知，句子时态为一般现在时，由“It”可知，句子主语为第三人称单数，故谓语动词应用save的三单形式saves。故填(s)aves。

7．句意：除了做饭，我小时候还干过很多农活。结合后文和“I got to know how to plant

vegetables”可知，我还干过很多农活。“农活”的英文表达为farm work，故空格处应填farm。故填(f)arm。

8．句意：尽管工作很辛苦，但这段经历教会了我许多朋友至今仍不知道的东西。根据“it was

hard work”和“the experience taught me things that many of my friends still don’t know”可知，空格处为一个让步状语从句，此时常用although或though引导，结合所给首字母T，故此处应用Though。故填(T)hough。

9．句意：他们认为这是一个遗憾，他们没有机会在他们的生活中学习这些东西。根据“a”可知，空格处应用一个名词，由“they didn’t have the chance to learn these things in their lives”可推测出，他们为此而觉得遗憾，“遗憾”pity。故填(p)ity。

10．句意：但它无法与亲眼目睹植物开花生长的快乐相比。根据“the”和“of”可知，空格处应用一个名词，根据“Some might say we can learn these things from textbooks. But”可知，空格所在句子想表达“亲眼目睹植物开花生长的快乐”，“快乐”joy。故填(j)oy

英语首字母填空技巧

1.

通读短文知大意，看整体全面了解来源：

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，慎重答题讲合理

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。例如：After a long hike, they went back to their

camp, built a fire and cooked d5． . Finally, it was time to go to sleep.第5小题，句意：经过长时间的徒步旅行之后，他们回到营地，生火做饭。由语境和首字母提示，可知填：dinner；根据Finally, it was time to go to sleep.

最后，该睡觉了。可以推知，他们回来是做的晚饭，故答案为dinner。

4.

认真复查全文，把握整体和词形来源：

做完以后，再认真读一遍，检查所填写的单词是否与文章要求相符，文章是否通顺，前后是否呼应，有无句型结构及语法错误。

“Woah, wait a minute,” Dad said. “What else are we going to have with the chicken? We

need to have at least one v___45___ with each meal.”

“We can have cabbage,” Matt said.

“Sophia does not like cabbage,” said Dad.

“Well, it’s my

choice, s___46___ I’m going to cook it,” Matt replied.

“OK, but she might complain (抱怨) at dinner. Are you ready for that? ” Dad asked.

“Yeah, maybe,” Matt answered.

Almost every time Matt picked something out, his dad would tell him that someone wouldn’t

like it. It was very frustrating (令人懊恼的).

“This is impossible!” Matt said angrily.

“Yes, it is hard. Everyone has d___47___ tastes, and sometimes, we just can’t please (使满意)

everyone.”

“Fine, we’ll go with this plan this week. Next week I’ll try to make everyone happy,” replied

Matt.

“Ew, this rice tastes strange,” Sophia said. Matt took a bite. It did taste a little strange. But

he’d worked so hard! He felt like he might c___50___.

“I don’t like cabbage,” shouted Sophia. Matt realized then how his parents must feel every

time he complained about dinner. It was impossible to make sure e___51___ liked every part of

every meal!

“I’m sorry, Sophia. I’m sorry, Mom and Dad. I shouldn’t have shouted at you about dinner all

the time. I don’t want to take over dinner anymore, I won’t complain,” Matt said.

“Thank you, Matt,” Mom and Dad said. Dad continued, “We’ll take back dinner

responsibilities. You can offer some help if you like!” Matt felt a lot better. He happily finished his

happiness, and good e___54___. In China, a red envelope is t___55___ called “ya sui qian”.

According to the story, a monster named Sui came around to hurt children on New Year’s

Eve. To prevent Sui from c___56___ to harm children, parents would light candles and pray in the

night. And people started to join eight coins along red strings (线) and place them under

c___57___ pillows (枕头). Soon, it became a tradition. Sui was kept off by these protective

symbols and finally stopped scaring children.

So why are the envelopes called “ya sui qian”? The c___58___ “sui” actually has exactly the

same pronunciation as “祟” (Sui), the monster’s name. These coins were called “ya sui qian”，meaning “lucky money to keep off harmful spirits”. As generations passed, coins were replaced

with n___59___ and the strings were replaced with envelopes.

Who gives red envelopes and how much should they give?

If you have a job and can make money, it’s time for you to start giving out “ya suiqian”! A

RMB100 to whatever amount you prefer.

Which would you rather spend your money on, an outing with friends or a pair of expensive

shoes? It is my opinion that spending money on experiences brings greater happiness.

My first r___63___ is that experiences make us different as we grow. We are not the result of

the things we’ve bought. Instead, we are the result of everything we’ve seen and done. For

example, getting expensive clothes didn’t c___64___ me as a person, but the camping trip last

summer certainly did. It made me more independent.

In addition, I p___65___ experiences because they bring people together. Sharing a new

experience develops stronger relationships and creates long-lasting memories. Three years ago I

met some teenagers on a study trip and now I am s___66___ in touch with them, but I hardly

remember what I bought during the trip.

My final point is that, although some people say it is a great j___67___ to own things, I think

using the things you own is more pleasant. For example, I spend most of my spare money on new

parts for my old mountain bike, but I love the experience of c___68___, not owning bike parts!

To sum up, experiences make us who we are and develop stronger relationships. So next time

before you pay for something, give it some s___69___ thought. Ask yourself, “Which will I spend

my money on, an outing or a pair of shoes?”
