But I don?t have anything for you any more No more apples for you.”the tree said.“I don?t have teeth to eat.”The boy replied“No more trunk for you to climb on”“I am too old for that now.”the boy said.“I really want to give you something——the only thing left is my dying roots(根).”The tree said.“I don't need much now, just a place to rest.I am tired after all these years.”The boy replied.“Good! Come here, please sit down with me and have a rest,”The boy sat down and the tree smiled .

This is a story of everyone The tree is our parent.When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad. When we grow up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. Whatever, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy. You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are treating(对待)our parents.

15．苹果树(2)

在一个炎热的(hot)夏日，男孩回到树旁，树很高兴．“来和我玩吧！”树说．

“我很伤心，我开始变老了。我想去航海(go sailing)放松(relax)自己．你能不能给我一条船？”“用我的树干去造一条船，你就能航海了，你会高兴的。”于是，男孩砍下树干去造(make)船。他航海去了，很长一段时间未露面(show up)。

许多年后男孩终于回来了．“很遗憾，我的孩子，我再也没有任何东西(anything)可以给你了。没有苹果给你”树说。“我没有牙齿(teeth)吃了。”男孩答道。“没有树干供你爬。”“现在我老了，爬不上去了。”男孩说．“我真的想把一切都给你……我唯一剩下的东西是快要死去的(dying)树墩。”树说。男孩答道。“现在，我不需要什么东西，只需要一个地方(place)来休息(rest)．经过了这些年我累了(tired)。”“太好了！过来，和我一起坐下休息(have a rest)吧。”男孩坐下了，树笑了…．

这是发生在每一个人身上的故事(story)。那棵树就像我们的父母(parent)．我们小的时候，喜欢和爸爸妈妈玩。长大后，便离开他们，只有在我们需要父母，或是遇到了困难(in trouble)的时候，才回去找他们．无论什么，父母却总是有求必应，为了让你幸福(make you happy)，付出他们所有的一切(everything)。你也许觉得那个男孩对树残忍(cruel)，但我们何尝不是这样对待自己的父母昵？

16. Pupils in China

On Tuesday, October 4, Mr. Goff visited our class. He is Karen's dad, and he just got back from a business trip to China.He has many pictures of busy cities and beautiful mountains.His pictures are worth seeing Mr. Goff came to our class to tell us what life is like in China

We learned that pupils in China went to school six days a week in the past but now they have a rest at weekends. They write with 2,000 characters(字)instead of 26 letters.Each character is a complete word They also review their lessons.After school, pupils play basketball and volleyball and ride bikes They do the same things as we do.

Mr. Goff said a businessman from China would visit him soon We will invite the man to our class.In that way, he can tell us more about pupils in China

16.中国的小学生

10月(October)4日星期二(Tuesday)．高夫先生来到我们班。他是克伦的爸爸．他去中国(China)商务旅行(business trip)刚回来。他有很多图片——繁忙的(busy)城市和美丽的山川(mountains)。他的图片值得一看(be worth seeing)。高夫先生来我们班为我们讲述中国人的生活。

我们得知中国的小学生(pupil)在过去(in the past)是每周上六天课，但现在他们是在周末(at weekends)休息了。他们书写(write)2000个汉字而不是(instead of)26个字母(letter)。每个(each)汉字是一个完整的字(complete word)．他们也复习(review)功课。放学后，小学生们打篮球和排球还骑自行车。他们和我们做一样的(the same)事情。

高夫先生说一位来自中国的生意人不久要来拜访他。我们将邀请(invite)这个人来我们班。那样(in that way)，他就可以给我们讲述更多关于中国小学生的事情了。

Young men often give flowers to young women when they are in love.The tradition may have come from Turkey(土耳其).

In the 1700s in Turkey, it was quite popular for people in love to send each other baskets full of strange things. The baskets were sent secretly to the person who was receiving https://www.wendangku.net/doc/e0965339.html,ually,an old woman who sold flowers or fruit on the street left the basket beside the door of that person

17.Say it with Flowers(1)

Young men often give flower s to young women when they are in love. The tradition may have come from Turkey(土耳其).

In the 1700s in Turkey, it was quite popular for people in love to send each other basket s full of strange things. The baskets were sent secretly to the person who was receiving it. Usually, an old woman who sold flowers or fruit on the street left the basket beside the door of that person

17.花语寄情(1)

恋爱中(be in love)的年轻男士经常(often)送花(flower)给女友，这个传统(tradition)可能来自(come from)土耳其。

18世纪的土耳其，热恋中的人相互赠送装满奇怪(strange)物品的篮子，这种做法在当时很流行(popular)。篮子(basket)被秘密地(secretly)送给接收篮子的人(person)。通常(usually)，由街上卖花或水果(fruit)的老婆婆把篮子送到那人的门旁边(beside the door)。

17. Say It with Flowers (2)

These baskets included many kinds of gifts: flowers, stones, candles,etc. Each thing in the basket had a special meaning.By working out the secret message hidden in each gift, the person who received the basket began to understand little by little the true feelings of the person who sent it.

这些篮子里包括(include)许多种礼物(many kinds of gifts)：花、石头(stone)、蜡烛(candle)等。每样东西都有特殊的含义(special meaning)。篮子接收者想出(work out)每件物品所暗藏(hide)的信息(message)，然后就开始渐渐地(little by little)理解(understand)赠送者的真实感情(true feelings)。

17. Say It with Flowers (3)

The idea of sending gifts of love with secret meanings quickly spread to other countries.However, as time passed, only sending flowers remained popular.

Flowers told young ladies about the feelings in the heart of young men. Each different flower had a different meaning. For example, the flowers from an orange tree meant,“you are beautiful and pure(纯洁).”Pink carnations (康乃馨) meant,“My love far you is great.”Yellow roses, on the other hand, meant,“I saw you with someone else.”

Many flower dictionaries were made to help young people in love understand the meaning of the flowers they received However, not all of the dictionaries agreed on the meaning of each flower, so a person had to be careful about the flowers they chose to send By the 1880s, using flowers to send messages had become unpopular, and the more direct way of sending love letters began. Today,flowers are still considered a lovely gift, but the meaning for each kind of flower has been lost.

17.花语寄情(3)

这种赠送礼物传递秘密信息的示爱方式迅速传(spread)到其他国家(country)，但是，随着时间的流逝，只有送花的传统保持(remain)了下来。

花把男士心(heart)中的感情传递给女士。每种花都有不同的含义。例如(for example)，桔(orange)树上开的花表示，“你美丽又纯洁”。粉红色(pink)的康乃馨表示，“我对你的爱是热烈的”。另一方面(on the other hand)，黄玫瑰(yellow rose)则意味着“我看见你和别人在一起”。

为了帮助恋爱中的年轻人理解他们收到的花所代表的含义，人们编制出很多关于花的词典(dictionary)。但是，对于每一种花的含义，不是所有的词典都能达成一致(agree on)。因此，人们在送花时必须谨慎选择(choose)。

到了19世纪80年代，花语寄情已经不流行，写信成为更直接的(direct)示爱方式。如今(today)，花仍被认为(consider)是一种可爱的礼物，但以前每一种花的特定含义已经没有了。

18. Learning by Doing and Going

Many of my classmates think they are forced to go to school. They say they are only interested in playing. But I love going to school, and my favorite subject is science I like science because the experiments and field trips are exciting.

In science we do many exciting experiments in the lab.One time we made crystal form(晶形)in a bottle by using salt in water. Another time we watched how baby chicks are hatched(孵出).

We also take exciting field trips for science, We went to a museum and saw huge dinosaurs(恐龙)and tiny butterflies.On Tree-planting Day, we went to a forest and collected leaves.

It's good to play, but I would rather do experiments and go on field trips. That?s why science is my favorite subject.

18．通过做与行学习

我的许多同学认为他们是被强迫(force)去上学的，他们说只对玩感兴趣。但我喜欢上学，我最喜欢的学科(subject)是科学(science)。我喜欢科学是因为做实验(experiment)和野外(field)旅行令人兴奋(exciting)。

上科学课时，我们在实验室(lab)做许多令人兴奋的实验。有～次，我们利用水中的盐(salt)在一个瓶子(bottle)里做晶形。还有一次，我们观察小鸡(chick)是怎样被孵化出来的。

为了学习科学，我们还进行令人兴奋的野外旅行。我们去了一个博物馆(museum)，看到了巨大的恐龙还有微小的(tiny)蝴蝶(butterfly)。在植树节，我们去了一个森林(forest)并收集树叶(collect leaves)。

玩耍很好，但我宁愿做实验(would rather do experiments)以及去野外旅行。那就是我最喜欢科学课的原因。

19. Jane Came Home Too Late

Jane got home late at night.She was going to knock at the door.Just then it opened.Her father was standing by the door.He was a tall man with white hair.“Come in,”he said“I am getting cold.”Jane went in Her mother was waiting in the room Her mother was a short woman She was sitting on the sofa,and looked pale Her father closed the door.

“Well,”he said,“Where have you been? You promised not to stay out beyond 11 o'clock. It's one o'clock now.”

“It's only a quarter to one.”

“That doesn't make any difference. You should have come home earlier”her father replied angrily.

“We've been very worried about you,”said her mother.

“I'm sorry,”Jane said.“I was at a party.I didn't notice the time.”

“You've got a watch,”said her father.“Your mother and I have waited for a long time. We didn't know where you were”

“I can look after myself,”replied Jane“I'm not a baby any more”...

That is a situation that we often see in our life Please do not let your parents worry about you again!

19. 简回家太晚

简在深夜(late at night)才回家。她正要敲门，门开(open)了。她的父亲正站在门旁。他是高(tall)个子，头发(hair)都白了。“进来吧，”他说，“我都觉得冷了。”简进了家。她的母亲正在房间(room)里等她。她母亲个子很小，正坐在沙发(sofa)上，看上去脸色苍白(pale)。简的父亲把门关上了。

“那么，你上哪去了？”父亲闷道，“你答应(promise)在外面不超过(beyond)11点的．现在都1点了。”

“差一刻钟(quarter)到1点”。

“那没什么差别(it doesn't make any difference)．你应该早(early)点回家的”，父亲生气的说。

“我们都非常担心(worried)，”母亲说。

“我很抱歉，”简回答，“我参加了一个聚会(party)。我没有注意到(notice)时间，”

“可你戴着手表(watch)”，父亲说，“你妈妈和我等了那么长时间。我们不知道你在哪里。”

“我可以照顾(look after)自己”，简回答道，“我又不是小孩了。”……

这是在我们生活中经常看到的一个情形(situation)。请不要再让你们的父母为你们担心(worry about you)了！

The old man was really 47 at fishing and it didn’t take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give 48 a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was 49 and asked, “Why don’t you want the fish?” The child 50 , “I want the fishing rod(竿) i n your hands.” The old man asked, “Why do you want the rod?” “It doesn’t take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But 51 I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won’t be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.” I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn’t know 52 to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she gets the fishing rod. It’s useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the 53 important, not the fishing rod. Too many people think that if they have a “fishing rod” in their life, they will 54 longer be afraid of the wind and rain. They are just 55 the child. She thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 2019 年广东省初中毕业生学业考试英语试题 请用适当的词完成下面的短文,并把所缺单词填写在答题卡指定的位置上。 Last winter holiday,I visited a village with only 11 houses. __71__ the village was very small, I spent a whole day in it.

When they seem to have become four, you've had enough and should go home.” “But, Dad,” said Tom, “I can only see one light at the end of the bar.” 1．在酒吧(2) 喝了半个小时后，汤普森对儿子说道，“汤姆，现在我给你上一课。你必须要小心决不要喝太多。那怎样才能知道你是否已经喝够了呢？听着，我告诉你。你看见酒吧尽头的那两盏灯了吗？当它们看起来已经变成四盏的时候，你就喝足了，应该回家了。” “可是，爸爸，”汤姆说，“我只看见那儿有一盏灯呀！” 2. Are You Going to Thank Her? (1) Mrs. Green has lived near the park of the city for forty years. She's very rich and has got a lot of money.

Are You Going to Thank Her? (2) The doctor looked her over and asked her to be in hospital, but she refused and went home on foot. As soon as she got home, the telephone rang. She hurried to answer it. It was the doctor. He told her she had left her purse in the hospital and a nurse had found it. “Could you tell me her name, please?” asked Mrs. Green. “Of course, Mrs. Green. Are you going to thank her?” asked the doctor. “No, no.” She said, “My handbag was lost three years ago. I want to know if she found it.” 2．您是要感谢她吗？(2)

中考英语短文填空题(12选10)解题技巧Alex

中考英语短文填空题（12选10）答题指导 一、短文填空题型说明 短文填空也叫综合填空，其特点是将一篇短文中的若干个词抽出后，要求考生根据短文的意思，在每个空格中填上一个词，使短文意思完整正确。它是测试同学们理解能力及对词汇、语法和习惯用法等的掌握情况的一种形式。这是中考中一个比较难的项目。其原因是考点不明确：凡涉及英文的理解、词汇、语法和习惯用法的都可以考。内容更是包罗万象：天文地理、历史人文、科技发展、旅游广告等。要求同学们在读通、读懂的基础上，填出符合内容和语法的词或词组。凡是课文中学到的词汇和语法都是考试的范围，各种介词、副词和习惯用法也会经常考到。尤其对于长句子，特别要注意其结构，要精确地分析句子成分。在做综合填空时，要养成快速阅读全文的习惯。句子读得越快越长，理解的精度就越高。根据其难度的不同又分为选词填空题、限词填空题和自由填空题。 二、短文填空解题思路 1. 跳过空格，通读短文，了解大意。解题时先跳过空格，通读完形填空的短文，了解全篇的内容和要旨。要重视首句，善于以首句的时态、语气为立足点，理清文脉，推测全文时态、主题及大意。 2. 复读短文，确定语义，判断词形。把握短文大意后再认真复读短文，利用上下文的语境，结合所学过的知识，先确定空格处所需词语的意义，再根据空格在句子中的位置，判断其在句中充当的成分，从而确定所填词的词性，再依据词语搭配和语法规则，判断所填的词的正确形式。 3. 三读短文，上下参照，验证答案。在短文的空白处分别填上一个词后，将完成的短文再细读一遍，上下参照，连贯思考。可从上、下文内容是否协调一致、顺理成章，语法结构是否正确无误等进行综合验证，凡有疑问必须重新推敲考虑。 三、做短文填空题的注意之处 1. 语义完整、适用是做好填词的前提，要从全文的内容出发，前后上下联系起来考虑，避免“只见树木，不见森林”的错误。 2. 要善于从文中同样结构或类似结构中寻找线索，从中得到提示和启发，帮助确定应填词的词性和词形，这样可避免想当然地随意乱填。 3. 填词时应注意词形，不可简单地都填原形词。若空格内填的是名词，要考虑其单复数形式；若填的是形容词或副词，则要考虑其是否属于比较等级；如若填的是动词，则要特别注意考虑其时态和语态。如在句首，还要考虑其首字母的大写。 4. 有些空格需要填入介词、连词等，除考虑上下文的内容外，还要考虑和其他词的固定搭配及其习惯用法。 5. 选词填空题和限词填空题一般只有一个答案，自由填空题虽然可能允许有多个正确答案，但只能选择其中一个填入，因为完形填空题每个空格只准填写一个单词，多填反而出错。 【答题要诀】 结构形态和语意，英语答题三利器；结构入手觅逻辑，形态暗示更容易，最后一点别忘记，语意通顺才可以。

中考英语阅读和写作六大重要题型全突破---题型四 语篇填空

题型四语篇填空 语篇填空试题所涉及的知识面广,灵活性高,综合性也很强。它主要考查学生对知识应用的熟练程度、对语言的迁移能力和对语言信息的综合处理能力,能反映出学生的英语综合素质。它不仅考查学生在词汇、语法等方面的基础知识,还考查学生的理解、推导、分析等综合能力。【解题方法】 1. 跳过空格，通读短文，了解大意。解题时先跳过空格，通读完整篇短文，了解全篇的内容和主旨，先易后难。例如： In search of some 67 for his task, Jimmy interviewed his grandmother who of course 68 nothing about the reason why Jimmy asked such questions. 【解析】对于67小题，考生起先不知道吉米想搜寻什么，但是，跳过空格接着往后看，出现了such questions，故可知此空格内需要填写answers。 2. 读短文，确定语义。把握短文大意后再认真复读短文，利用上下文的语境，结合学过的知识，先确定空格处所需词语的意义，再根据空格在句子中的位置，判断其在句中充当的成分，从而确定所填词的词性，再依据词语搭配和语法规则，判断所填词的正确形式。例如：They immediately(立即) became 75 and started to play at each other's houses or the weekend. 【解析】此空格需要填的词语既可为形容词，也可为名词，但是根据后文提示play at each other' s houses可判断她们两人成了好朋友。故填friends。 3. 利用语境,确定词形。当确定了一个单词的词性后，可通过上下文来判断其形式。如动词的人称、数、时态、语态、不定式、动词的-ing形式；名词的数和所有格；代词的各种形式及单复数；形容词副词的比较级以及基数词、序数词的转换形式等。例如：...and the new girl was 70 to say three things about herself. 【解析】通过上下文语境可以判断，此句为被动语态，即“被要求”，故可以选择动词
