上海初三中考英语首字母填空专项练习
一、
Firefighters
or
firemen
play
an
important
role
in
our
daily
life.
In
some
places,
firefighters
use
watchtowers
to
look
for
smoke
and fires,
although
they
get
a
fire
report by
telephone.
A
high
tower is still very u
67
for watching and guarding a place. Fire
fighters also make it a place
for
practice.
They
learn
how
to
p
68
out
fires
from
burning
buildings.
They
try
to
c
69
up
the
outside
of
the
tower
as
fast
as
possible.
They
carry
water
hoses
up
to
the
fire.
They
practise carrying imaginable victims
down f
70
high ladders.
There
are
reasons
that
firefighters
are
called
for
help.
Maybe
a
building
or
a
forest
is
o
71
fire. A train accident happens and
people are
t
72
inside. Still,
people need to be rescued
from floods
or an earthquake. Whenever there is an emergency
situation, they can be seen f
73
there.
Being a
fire fighter needs a lot of t
74
.
In the first place, firefighters should know how
to
educate the community
（社区）
by visiting
schools, community centres and people in their own
homes to p
75
fire and accidents from
starting. They have to learn how to deal with
different
dangerous situations. Above
all, it’s necessary for firefighters to exercise
every day to be
h
76
and strong.
二、
Man
has
a
big
brain.
He
can
think
and
s
72
languages.
Scientists
once
thought
that
man
isn’t the same as animals
b
73
man can think and learn. They know now
that dogs, monkeys
and birds can learn,
too.
They
are
beginning
to
u
74
that
men
are
different
from
animals
because
they
can
speak.
Animals can’t speak. They make
much
n
75
when they are
afraid, or unhappy. Apes(
猿
)
can
learn some things more quickly than
man. One or two of them have learned a few words.
But
they can not join words to make s
76
.
They cannot think l
77
us because they
have no
language.
Language
is
a
wonderful
thing.
Man
has
been
a
78
to
build
a
modern
world
because he has language. Every child
can speak his own language very w
79
when he is four
or five, b
80
no animals learn to speak.
How do children learn it Scientists
don’t really know
w
81
happens inside our body when we
speak. They only know that man can
speak because he has a brain.
三、
Our dog, Rex,
used to sit outside our front gate and bark. Every
time he wanted to come into the
garden
he would bark u
72
someone opened
the gate. As the neighbours complained of the
noise,
my
husband
s
73
weeks
training
him
to
press
his
paw
on
the
latch
(
门闩
)
to
let
himself
in. Rex soon became good at o
74
the
gate.
H
75
,
when I was going out shopping last week, I n
76
him in the garden near the gate.
This
time
he
was
barking
so
that
someone
would
let
him
o
77
!
Since
then,
he
has
developed another bad h 78 . As soon as
he opens the gate from the outside, he comes i
79
the
garden
and
waits
until
the
gate
shuts.
Then
he
sits
and
barks
until
someone
lets
him
out.
After
this
he
immediately
lets
himself
in
and
begins
barking
a
80
.
Yesterday
my
husband
removed the gate and
Rex got so
a
81
that he
disappeared. Since then, we have not seen
him.
四、
Elizabeth
lived with her six children in a small house. One
winter, there was a big flood and quite
a f
72
houses were
washed away, but Elizabeth’s house was high
e
73
to escape it.
Elizabeth took in one of the families
which had lost everything. She shared her home
until the
family
could
build
a
74
house.
Elizabeth’s
friends
could
not
understand
w
75
she
wanted to give so much
when she already had so many children to
support.
“Well, ” Elizabeth
e
76
to her frie
nds,
“at the end of World War I, there was a poor woman
in a town in Germany. Her husband had
been killed in the war and she had a lot of
children, just
like
m
77
now.”
“The
day
before
Christmas,
this
woman
said
to
her
children,
‘We
won’t
be
a
78
to
have
much for Christmas. I’m going to get
just one
p
79
for us all. Now
I’ll go and get it.’ She came
back
w
80
a
little
girl
who
had
no
parents.
‘Here’s
our
present,
’she
said
to
her
own
children.
The children were more than excited to
get such a present. They welcomed the little girl
warmly,
and she g
81
up as their
sister. I was that Christmas present.”
五、
Teenagers are very busy at school now
and often forget to think about their diets and
sports. The
truth is that healthy
eating and regular exercise are t
67
ways to keep fit.
D
68
your teenage years, it is
important to give your body enough e
69
it needs. Young
girls need
about 2,200 calories a day. Usually boys need a
bit m
70
, many doctors suggest,
2,800
calories
for
teenage
b
71
.
50%
of
your
calories
should
come
from
rice,
bread,
vegetables and fruit. You also need to
drink a lot of water, 6 to 8 glasses a day. D
72
enough
water will improve
your dry skin and give you healthy
body.
Physical
a
73
,
such
as
playing
basketball
and
swimming,
are
something
that
can
help
to
make you look good, feel good and be
healthy. Experts (
专家
)
suggest that teenagers spend at l
74
30 minutes exercising a day, five times
a week.
After
you
exercise
a
bit,
your
body
produces
something
that
makes
you
feel
r
75
and
comfortable.
It
can
even
help
you
sleep
better
at
night
and
let
you
p
76
more
attention
when you study.
