考点39 短文填空之首字母填空
首字母填空是根据句意和已给出的首字母，在句子的空白处填上适当的单词，使句子意思完整，语法正确的一种题型。该题型既考查学生的单词记忆和拼写能力，又考查学生对句子的理解和运用能力。
二、满分技巧
1. 跳过空格，不看选项，快速地阅读全文，从整体上感知全文，掌握大意，了解全篇的内容和要旨。
快速阅读时宁粗勿细，切忌只盯住一个句子仓促解题，这样势必因胸无全局而误入歧途。快速阅读时，还要注意找出关键词，这些词在文中起支撑骨架的功能，抓住了关键词就抓住了故事的线索。特别是要重视首句，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，判断所填词的正确形式。如短文难度较大，尤其是难于选词时，从本句的前后观察中一时尚不得要领，就要进一步扩大到上下文中分析。
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。

59. attack 60. voice
61. refuse 62. right
【解析】
文章主要就如何远离打架提出的三点建议，分别是：保持冷静，大声喊以及学会拒绝。
【56题详解】
句意：冷静点。
根据句意理解及后句Sometimes, you feel so angry that you really want to teach somebody a lesson. But being angry doesn’t do any good. Neither can a fight.可知，这里表达的是“要保持冷静”，英语中“冷静的”是calm，是一个形容词，放在keep后面做表语，故答案为calm。
【57题详解】
句意：相反，它可能会给你带来更多的问题。
根据句意理解及前句But being angry doesn’t do any good.和后句it may bring you more problems.可知，这里表达的是相反的意思，表示“相反，反而”，英语是instead，故答案为Instead。
【58题详解】
句意：打架中没有赢家。
根据句意理解及前句everyone involved in a fight will be punished可知，这里表达的是“没有赢家”，英语中“赢家”是winner，而这里说的是“打架没有赢家”，所以应该是多个人，所以要用复数形式，故答案为winners。
【59题详解】
句意：如果你知道有人在你后面想攻击你。
根据句意理解及后句turn toward the person with your hands up in front of your body and loudly say “stop” before walking away.及后文can usually make the attacker stop.可知，这里表达的是“攻击”，英语是attack，而空格前有to，所以这里应该用动词原形，故答案为attack。
【60题详解】
句意：响亮的声音通常会使攻击者停止攻击。
根据句意理解及前句loudly say “stop” before walking away.可知，这里表达的是“声音”，且指的是人发出的声音，所以应该用voice，是一个不可数名词，故答案为voice。
【61题详解】
句意：学会拒绝。
根据句意理解及后句Your friend may ask you to join in a fight. Learn to say no.可知，这里表达的是“要学会拒绝”，英语中“拒绝”是refuse，而空格前有to，所以这里用动词原形，故答案为refuse。
62题详解】

根据句意理解及前句Then, try to learn why he wants a fight可知，这里表达的是“正确的方法”，英语中“正确的”是right，是一个形容词，在句中作定语，修饰后面的名词way，故答案为right。

The Best Language for Learning Math
What is the best language for learning math? Hint (提示)：You are not reading it.
Chinese, Japanese and Korean all have simpler number words. They express math concepts (概念）more c____81____than English. The language gap has drawn lots of attention. Several recent studies have l___82___ weaker math abilities in English-speaking children to English number words.
Chinese, for example, has just ten basic number words. English, however, has more than two dozen (一打). The trouble starts at “e____83____” English has a word for that number. Chinese, Japanese and Korean have words that can be translated as ‘"ten-one” ——spoken with the ‘"ten” first. That makes it easier for children to understand the place value. Students can easily see that the number system is based on units of 10.
English number words over 10 don’t make the place value clear. Words for numbers 13 to 19 change the order of the ones (个位）and tens. Children are more 1____84____ to confuse 17 with 71.
Therefore, children working with English number words have a harder time doing complex (复杂） calculations. They make more m ____85____.
It also feels more natural for Chinese speakers than for English speakers to use the “make-a-ten” method. When they a___86___ two numbers, Chinese students often break down the numbers into parts and regroup them into tens and ones. For example, 9 plus 5 becomes 9 plus 1 plus 4. This method greatly helps students work out math problems. Many teachers in America are teaching their students the “make-a-ten” method. However，they are having a hard time because of the confusing English number words.
Now, you should feel 1____87____that you are learning math in China. Thanks to your mother language, all the math problems have become less difficult and less confusing.

Readers were scared and armed men were seen in the streets, preparing to p___58___ their loved ones and property by battling the wild animals of the zoo. In their upset, they clearly hadn’t read to the end of the article: the l___59___ line stated that ‘the whole story given above is a pure lie’!
But why was it done? The article was the creation of a reporter named Joseph Clarke. Working alongside his editor, Clarke wanted to highlight the dangerous conditions at the zoo by showing the readers what could happen, not what a___60___ had.

考点39 短文填空之首字母填空
首字母填空是根据句意和已给出的首字母，在句子的空白处填上适当的单词，使句子意思完整，语法正确的一种题型。该题型既考查学生的单词记忆和拼写能力，又考查学生对句子的理解和运用能力。
二、满分技巧
1. 跳过空格，不看选项，快速地阅读全文，从整体上感知全文，掌握大意，了解全篇的内容和要旨。
快速阅读时宁粗勿细，切忌只盯住一个句子仓促解题，这样势必因胸无全局而误入歧途。快速阅读时，还要注意找出关键词，这些词在文中起支撑骨架的功能，抓住了关键词就抓住了故事的线索。特别是要重视首句，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，判断所填词的正确形式。如短文难度较大，尤其是难于选词时，从本句的前后观察中一时尚不得要领，就要进一步扩大到上下文中分析。
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。

The Best Language for Learning Math
What is the best language for learning math? Hint (提示)：You are not reading it.
Chinese, Japanese and Korean all have simpler number words. They express math concepts (概念）more c____81____than English. The language gap has drawn lots of attention. Several recent studies have l___82___ weaker math abilities in English-speaking children to English number words.
Chinese, for example, has just ten basic number words. English, however, has more than two dozen (一打). The trouble starts at “e____83____” English has a word for that number. Chinese, Japanese and Korean have words that can be translated as ‘"ten-one” ——spoken with the ‘"ten” first. That makes it easier for children to understand the place value. Students can easily see that the number system is based on units of 10.
English number words over 10 don’t make the place value clear. Words for numbers 13 to 19 change the order of the ones (个位）and tens. Children are more 1____84____ to confuse 17 with 71.
Therefore, children working with English number words have a harder time doing complex (复杂） calculations. They make more m ____85____.
It also feels more natural for Chinese speakers than for English speakers to use the “make-a-ten” method. When they a___86___ two numbers, Chinese students often break down the numbers into parts and regroup them into tens and ones. For example, 9 plus 5 becomes 9 plus 1 plus 4. This method greatly helps students work out math problems. Many teachers in America are teaching their students the “make-a-ten” method. However，they are having a hard time because of the confusing English number words.
Now, you should feel 1____87____that you are learning math in China. Thanks to your mother language, all the math problems have become less difficult and less confusing.
【答案】81. clearly
82. linked 83. eleven
84. likely 85. mistakes
