第二节 短文填空
以下是一则短文。请阅读短文，并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。（共5个小题，每小题2分）
A. Use word parts. B. Look at the words. C. It might sound like a word you know. D. You can find the word in a dictionary. E. Following some easy steps can help you. F. If the word shelter doesn’t look familiar. look at the words around it.
You’ve been learning words since you were a tiny baby. At first, you learned them only by hearing other people talk. Now that you're a reader, you have another way to learn words. What should you do when you come to a word and you think you don’t know what it means 26 .
Say it
First sound it out. Then say it to yourself. 27 . Sometimes you know a word in your head but you don’t know what it looks like in print. So if you match up what you know and what you read — you have the word!
Use context
If this doesn’t work, take the next step: look at the context — the other words and sentences around it. Read this sentence: When it rained, the dog looked for shelter in the doorway. 28 . Rain and in the doorway might give you helpful information.
29
If the context doesn’t help, look at the parts of the word. Does it have any parts you know These can help you understand what it means. If you don’t know the meaning of miner, try looking at parts of the word. You might know that a mine is a place underground where people get coal and other valuable things. A lot of times, -er at the end of a word means “a person who does something”. So a miner might be someone who works in a mine.
Look it up
If the three steps above don’t work, you can look it up. 30 — either a book or online.
Nobody knows the meaning of every word, but good readers know how to understand words they don’t know.

One possible version:
Dear Emily,
I feel sorry to hear of your problems. In your letter, you said that a few problems troubled you. The following are my suggestions.
You mentioned that you were lonely and your parents always took business trips. I suggest that you find some time to sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk with them, and tell them your feelings and thoughts, which will help you to study in peace of mind. To solve the problems of your English learning, you should ask your teachers for help if you can’t understand in class, and practise your oral English with your classmates if you are afraid of speaking in front of the whole class. You can also take part in some English corner activities after class. Besides, I’m sorry to hear that you quarreled with your friend. But don’t worry, please remember communication is the most important. Find out the key to the problem and apologize to him/her. I’m sure he/she’ll forgive you soon.
Hope the above suggestions can help you, waiting for your good news.
Yours,
Jerry
