第5课时 首字母填空
[题型特征]首字母填空题的特点是将一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )篇文章中若干个词“掏空”,留下该词的首字母,它既作为提示又作为限制,让我们根据短文的意思把单词拼写完整,使文章连贯。
[解题策略]1. 首先要通读短文,了解文章的大意。只要能了解短文的大意即可,细节不理解可以跳过。
2. 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。
3. 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,有无拼写、句型结构及语法错误。
首字母填空题是试卷中较难的一个题型,考查学 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )生对文章整体的把握、上下文之间的联系以及学生熟练运用英语知识的能力。学生需要加强训练,争取在这个题型的考试中得高分。

On July 2,1937,Ame ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lia Earhart(an American pilot) and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific. This was the longest and most dangerous part of their t 1 around the world. Earhart had trouble soon after the plane took off. The weather was very bad,so she had to f 2 at 3,000 metres. Going this high,the plane used fuel quickly.
After about 20 h 3 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ),Earhart and Noonan got close to Howland Island. The island was o 4 about 65 miles(英里) away,but the bright sun was shining in their faces so they couldn’t see it. Near Howland,a ship was w 5 for the plane. Earhart contacted the ship:“We don’t have enough fuel,” she said. The ship tried to stay in touch with her b 6 got no answer. Finally,the ship called for help. People looked for Earhart and Noonan for days. However,they found nothing.
What happened t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o Amelia Earhart No one knows for sure. D 7 the flight,she probably moved in the wrong direction(方向) because the sun was bright and it was d 8 to see. So she got lost;soon after,her plane ran out of fuel,and she died at sea. Another idea is that she survived(幸存) the plane crash(飞机失事),s 9 to a lonely island,and later died there. Still other think she survived the crash and secretly returned to the U.S. with a new identity(身份).
Till now,none of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ese i 10 has been proved. People are still wondering about them.(Noonan’s body has never been found either.) No matter what happened,Earhart probably died as she wished. “When I go,” she said,“I’d like best to go in my plane.”
