首字母填空
备战 2025 年中考英语新课标（核心素养）二轮复习之优秀
生拔高重难题型特训
【预测分析】
一、重难点解析
1、词汇与语法综合能力要求高
高频词性覆盖广：名词（单复数）、动词（时态/语态）、形容词/副词（比较级/最高级）、
连词（逻辑关系）等均为高频考点，需结合句子成分判断词性。
一词多义与熟词僻义：如“book”（v. 预订）、“spring”（n. 弹簧）、“lie”（v. 躺/撒谎）等
需结合语境辨析。
构词法与变形：需掌握词性转换（如 success→successful→successfully）、派生（un+happy
→unhappy）及不规则动词变化（write→wrote→written）。
2、语境与逻辑推理难度大
长难句拆分：复合句增多，需分析主从句结构（如定语从句、状语从句），定位空格逻辑关
系。
隐含信息捕捉：如代词指代（it/they）、转折词（but/however）前后语义对立，需通过上下
文复现或反推答案。
文化背景与常识：涉及中西节日（如春节习俗）、科技应用（AI）等跨文化内容，需常识辅
助推理。
3、高频易错点集中
语法细节：名词单复数（如 child→children）、动词时态（过去完成时）、形容词副词混用
（careful→carefully）。
干扰项干扰：形近词（effect vs. affect）、近义词（big/large）需结合搭配排除。
二、解题步骤与技巧
1、通读全文，把握主旨（2 分钟）
跳过空格，快速定位文章体裁（记叙文/说明文）及核心事件，关注首尾段情感基调（如积
极/反思）。
标记逻辑信号词（but/however 表转折，because 表因果），预判空格与上下文关系。
2、逐空突破，分层解题
词性判断法：
空格前为冠词（a/an/the）→ 填名词（如 a library）。
空格后为名词→ 填形容词（如 a bright smile）。
语境联想法：
正向复现：同义词替换（happy→joyful）。
反向逻辑：转折词后填反义词（如 Luckily 对应前文困难）。
语法锁定法：
时态判断：时间状语（yesterday→过去式）。
语态判断：被动语态（be+过去分词，如 The book was written）。
3、复查与修正（1 分钟）
代入答案后通读全文，检查主谓一致、时态连贯性及固定搭配（如 look forward to doing）。
标记不确定的题目，通过段落逻辑或选项复现（如同义词）二次确认。
三、2025 年命题趋势预测
1、选材方向
生活化场景：校园活动（社团、竞赛）、家庭互动（代际沟通）占比约 60%，需积累高频
动词短语（如 take part in）。
社会热点融合：环保行动（垃圾分类）、科技应用（共享单车、AI 工具）可能作为新题材，
需关注相关术语（如 recycle, smart devices）。
2、题型创新
跨句逻辑强化：增加需结合 2-3 句信息推断的题目（如人物动机或事件影响）。
干扰项设计升级：形近词（如 quiet/quite）、熟词僻义（如 address 作“解决”）比例上升。
3、高频考点预测
动词：时态（过去完成时）、非谓语动词（to do/doing）。
形容词/副词：比较级（much easier than）、情感色彩词（amazing, disappointed）。
连词：因果（therefore）、让步（although）。
四、备考策略
1、词汇积累
高频词分类记忆：按词性整理近 5 年真题高频词（如名词：culture, challenge；动词：achieve,
protect）。
构词法专项训练：每日练习 10 组词性转换（如 success→successful→successfully）。
2、技巧强化
逻辑信号词归纳：整理转折、因果、递进词表，结合例句理解用法差异。
长难句拆分练习：每日精析 2-3 个含从句的复合句，标注主谓宾及修饰成分。
3、真题实战与复盘
限时模拟：每周完成 3 套真题，严格计时（15 分钟/篇），记录错题类型（如语法/逻辑/词
汇）。
错题归因：建立错题本，按“词性误判”“搭配错误”“语境理解偏差”分类总结。
4、文化拓展
跨文化词汇补充：积累传统习俗（如 lucky money）、科技词汇（AI, robot）。
五、总结
2025 年上海中考首字母填空将延续“高难度、重逻辑、强语境”特点，考生需以高频词汇为
基础，以语法分析为支撑，以逻辑推理为核心，结合真题训练与错题复盘，针对性突破薄弱
环节。建议通过“词汇分类+长难句拆分+限时模拟”三位一体备考，最终实现精准提分。

A library for the future
Will the printed book still exist in 100 years Most people might answer with a “no”. But
the Future Library wants to c 1 that. In the year 2118, it will start printing paper books
that no one has ever had the chance to read before.
The Future Library was an art p 2 created by Scottish artist Katie Paterson. It
invites authors to write books that will remain unread until the year 2118. The manuscripts (原稿)
will be k 3 in the New Deichmanske Public Library in Oslo (挪威首都奥斯陆). At the
same time, 1000 new trees have been p 4 in a forest outside the city. They will grow for
100 years before being cut down to create the paper to print the books.
By creating the Future Library, Katie Paterson hopes that books and readers will not
disappear in 100 years. She also e 5 people to enjoy a slow and peaceful life while the
trees grow up slowly.
Canadian science fiction legend Margaret Atwood has just become the first author to write
a book f 6 the Future Library. “I am very honored and happy to be part of this project.
At least, it believes the human race will still be around in a hundred years!” said Atwood
humorously. “The Future Library will attract a lot of attention over the decades (数 十 年 ), as
people follow the progress of the trees and try to g 7 what the writers have put into their
sealed (密封的) boxes.”

It sounds incredible, but the small country of Greece seems to be burning down. Police
believe arsonists are responsible for at least half of the fires. Thirty people have died so f
1 , many of them trapped in their homes or their cars. Residents all over Greece have called
fire departments, police, and media about fires surrounding their homes, but there have simply not
been e 2 firemen to respond to all these fires.
The government has asked for aid from France, Italy, and Germany. Greek ruins that are
almost 3,000 years old are in d 3 of being burnt down. Fires surround Athens, the capital
city. The hillsides are ablaze, and there seems to be no end in sight. Entire villages have been
destroyed. There has been no rain for two months, and the trees are s 4 dry that just the heat
from an approaching fire causes them to explode into flames.
Police have arrested three suspected arsonists. One suspect, oddly enough, was still
complaining about the Olympics. He had applied to carry the torch into the stadium and light the
fire to officially start the Games. B 5 his application was ignored. "You have to be
somebody," was the reply he got when he called the Olympic Committee in Athens. "And you're
not—you're nobody," an official told him. The man was in jail for three years for trying to blow u
6 the committee's headquarters. Yesterday, police caught him walking away from a new fire
with an empty gas can in his hands.
"I'm nobody, huh " he told the police. "Well, I'm s 7 now!"

Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to
recent polls (民意调查), sixty to seventy p 1 of Americans consider t 2 to be
moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy. Psychologists have been
studying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable, nor is a person in an
apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his
actual feelings.
A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. T 3
both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously under-educated or
actually suffering from lack of physical needs.
The rich are not likely to be h 4 than the middle-income group or even those with
very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not
graduate from high school, and it is b 5 that this is mainly because they have more o
6 to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less
happy than those with the same income and no college education.
Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain.
Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those who have good
relationship with other family members are happier than those who live a 7 . Love has a
higher correlation with happiness than any other factor.
It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest
when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time.
Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods, but are not
necessarily happier adults.
The best formula for happiness is to be able to develop AQ (Adversity Quotient that can be
of great benefit when running into trouble), to have a personal involvement and commitment, and
to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.

Another very important aspect of saying you’re sorry is that it helps you to regain respect
for yourself. It allows you to put a mistake behind you, and to move on with your life. Accepting
responsibility also helps us to learn from our errors, and encourages us not to repeat them in the
future. Perhaps it also helps us to learn how to forgive others who make mistakes. Learning to say
you’re sorry is a sure way to learn how to r 7 yourself and others.

What is Earth Hour
Earth Hour is organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and it’s a big event
usually at the end of March every year. On this evening, people ‘go dark’-that is, switch off lights
in their homes, schools and businesses all at the same time for one hour.
Earth Hour started in Australia in 2007, when 2.2 million people in Sydney turned off all
unnecessary lights for an hour. Since then it has grown into an i 1 event, and many
countries around the world have taken part. Famous buildings that have gone dark for Earth Hour i
2 Buckingham Palace in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Forbidden City in Beijing
and New York’s Empire State Building. Even astronauts on the Space Station have taken part by
reducing their power use on the station, and Google has shown its s 3 by making a dark
homepage for the event.What’s the idea b 4 Earth Hour
The idea is to raise awareness of environmental issues and call for action to protect nature.
It’s true that switching off the lights for just one hour saves only a small amount of power. But this
is only the b 5 .
On one level, joining in Earth Hour makes people think about the problem of environmental
issues and what we can do in everyday life to protect nature. For example, eating less meat, using
low-energy electrical items instead of high-energy o 6 and using green forms of
transport all help the planet.
But on another level, a large number of people all acting t 7 sends a powerful
message to governments and companies. It pushes them to take action on a large scale by
considering green issues when making big decisions.

备战 2025 年中考英语新课标（核心素养）二轮复习之优秀
生拔高重难题型特训
【预测分析】
一、重难点解析
1、词汇与语法综合能力要求高
高频词性覆盖广：名词（单复数）、动词（时态/语态）、形容词/副词（比较级/最高级）、
连词（逻辑关系）等均为高频考点，需结合句子成分判断词性。
一词多义与熟词僻义：如“book”（v. 预订）、“spring”（n. 弹簧）、“lie”（v. 躺/撒谎）等
需结合语境辨析。
构词法与变形：需掌握词性转换（如 success→successful→successfully）、派生（un+happy
→unhappy）及不规则动词变化（write→wrote→written）。
2、语境与逻辑推理难度大
长难句拆分：复合句增多，需分析主从句结构（如定语从句、状语从句），定位空格逻辑关
系。
隐含信息捕捉：如代词指代（it/they）、转折词（but/however）前后语义对立，需通过上下
文复现或反推答案。
文化背景与常识：涉及中西节日（如春节习俗）、科技应用（AI）等跨文化内容，需常识辅
助推理。
3、高频易错点集中
语法细节：名词单复数（如 child→children）、动词时态（过去完成时）、形容词副词混用
（careful→carefully）。
干扰项干扰：形近词（effect vs. affect）、近义词（big/large）需结合搭配排除。
二、解题步骤与技巧
1、通读全文，把握主旨（2 分钟）
跳过空格，快速定位文章体裁（记叙文/说明文）及核心事件，关注首尾段情感基调（如积
极/反思）。
标记逻辑信号词（but/however 表转折，because 表因果），预判空格与上下文关系。
2、逐空突破，分层解题
词性判断法：
空格前为冠词（a/an/the）→ 填名词（如 a library）。
空格后为名词→ 填形容词（如 a bright smile）。
语境联想法：
正向复现：同义词替换（happy→joyful）。
反向逻辑：转折词后填反义词（如 Luckily 对应前文困难）。
语法锁定法：
时态判断：时间状语（yesterday→过去式）。
语态判断：被动语态（be+过去分词，如 The book was written）。
3、复查与修正（1 分钟）
代入答案后通读全文，检查主谓一致、时态连贯性及固定搭配（如 look forward to doing）。
标记不确定的题目，通过段落逻辑或选项复现（如同义词）二次确认。
三、2025 年命题趋势预测
1、选材方向
生活化场景：校园活动（社团、竞赛）、家庭互动（代际沟通）占比约 60%，需积累高频
动词短语（如 take part in）。
社会热点融合：环保行动（垃圾分类）、科技应用（共享单车、AI 工具）可能作为新题材，
需关注相关术语（如 recycle, smart devices）。
2、题型创新
跨句逻辑强化：增加需结合 2-3 句信息推断的题目（如人物动机或事件影响）。
干扰项设计升级：形近词（如 quiet/quite）、熟词僻义（如 address 作“解决”）比例上升。
3、高频考点预测
动词：时态（过去完成时）、非谓语动词（to do/doing）。
形容词/副词：比较级（much easier than）、情感色彩词（amazing, disappointed）。
连词：因果（therefore）、让步（although）。
四、备考策略
1、词汇积累
高频词分类记忆：按词性整理近 5 年真题高频词（如名词：culture, challenge；动词：achieve,
protect）。
构词法专项训练：每日练习 10 组词性转换（如 success→successful→successfully）。
2、技巧强化
逻辑信号词归纳：整理转折、因果、递进词表，结合例句理解用法差异。
长难句拆分练习：每日精析 2-3 个含从句的复合句，标注主谓宾及修饰成分。
3、真题实战与复盘
限时模拟：每周完成 3 套真题，严格计时（15 分钟/篇），记录错题类型（如语法/逻辑/词
汇）。
错题归因：建立错题本，按“词性误判”“搭配错误”“语境理解偏差”分类总结。
4、文化拓展
跨文化词汇补充：积累传统习俗（如 lucky money）、科技词汇（AI, robot）。
五、总结
2025 年上海中考首字母填空将延续“高难度、重逻辑、强语境”特点，考生需以高频词汇为
基础，以语法分析为支撑，以逻辑推理为核心，结合真题训练与错题复盘，针对性突破薄弱
环节。建议通过“词汇分类+长难句拆分+限时模拟”三位一体备考，最终实现精准提分。

A library for the future
Will the printed book still exist in 100 years Most people might answer with a “no”. But
the Future Library wants to c 1 that. In the year 2118, it will start printing paper books
that no one has ever had the chance to read before.
The Future Library was an art p 2 created by Scottish artist Katie Paterson. It
invites authors to write books that will remain unread until the year 2118. The manuscripts (原稿)
will be k 3 in the New Deichmanske Public Library in Oslo (挪威首都奥斯陆). At the
same time, 1000 new trees have been p 4 in a forest outside the city. They will grow for
100 years before being cut down to create the paper to print the books.
By creating the Future Library, Katie Paterson hopes that books and readers will not
disappear in 100 years. She also e 5 people to enjoy a slow and peaceful life while the
trees grow up slowly.
Canadian science fiction legend Margaret Atwood has just become the first author to write
a book f 6 the Future Library. “I am very honored and happy to be part of this project.
At least, it believes the human race will still be around in a hundred years!” said Atwood
humorously. “The Future Library will attract a lot of attention over the decades (数 十 年 ), as
people follow the progress of the trees and try to g 7 what the writers have put into their
sealed (密封的) boxes.”

Have you ever come home from a holiday feeling more tired than you were before you left
Through travelling, most people expect a break from their stressful lives. However, as they rush
from one place to a 1 , they aren’t really able to take a good rest.
Now, imagine living for a week in a French house, buying fresh vegetables from the local
market every morning, and taking day trips to n 2 villages which are within ten-minute
bike rides. Does this sound great to you That’s the magic of slow travel. This is no
“four-cities-in-seven-days” tour of Europe. Instead, you will really slow down and experience new
cultures.
Slow travel can mean taking a bike tour from one village to the next. It can mean driving
along back roads instead of taking the highway. It can also mean covering long distances by train
instead of by air so that you can enjoy the beautiful v 3 along the way. No matter how
you do it, the key is to slow down. You are to make the most of each moment of your holiday.
Slow travel has a few a 4 . It allows you to form a stronger connection to your
destination. You will stay in one place long e 5 to make friends with your neighbors and
even pick your favourite coffeehouse. You will really have a break from your stressful life.
Slow travel is environmentally-friendlier than other types of travel. Airplanes cause lots of
p 6 . Trains, bikes and your own feet are better for the environment. Slow travel also
saves you money. Staying in one place for a week will r 7 your transportation costs.
Besides, you may cook your own food instead of eating out for every meal.
The next time you are to go on a holiday, remember to try it the slow way.

It sounds incredible, but the small country of Greece seems to be burning down. Police
believe arsonists are responsible for at least half of the fires. Thirty people have died so f

fire departments, police, and media about fires surrounding their homes, but there have simply not
been e 2 firemen to respond to all these fires.
The government has asked for aid from France, Italy, and Germany. Greek ruins that are
almost 3,000 years old are in d 3 of being burnt down. Fires surround Athens, the capital
city. The hillsides are ablaze, and there seems to be no end in sight. Entire villages have been
destroyed. There has been no rain for two months, and the trees are s 4 dry that just the heat
from an approaching fire causes them to explode into flames.
Police have arrested three suspected arsonists. One suspect, oddly enough, was still
complaining about the Olympics. He had applied to carry the torch into the stadium and light the
fire to officially start the Games. B 5 his application was ignored. "You have to be
somebody," was the reply he got when he called the Olympic Committee in Athens. "And you're
not—you're nobody," an official told him. The man was in jail for three years for trying to blow u

with an empty gas can in his hands.
"I'm nobody, huh " he told the police. "Well, I'm s 7 now!"

Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to
recent polls (民意调查), sixty to seventy p 1 of Americans consider t 2 to be
moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy. Psychologists have been
studying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable, nor is a person in an
apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his
actual feelings.
A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. T 3
both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously under-educated or
actually suffering from lack of physical needs.
The rich are not likely to be h 4 than the middle-income group or even those with
very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not
graduate from high school, and it is b 5 that this is mainly because they have more o
6 to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less
happy than those with the same income and no college education.
Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain.
Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those who have good
relationship with other family members are happier than those who live a 7 . Love has a
higher correlation with happiness than any other factor.
It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest
when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time.
Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods, but are not
necessarily happier adults.
The best formula for happiness is to be able to develop AQ (Adversity Quotient that can be
of great benefit when running into trouble), to have a personal involvement and commitment, and
to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.
B
What makes you happy in life Perhaps it is the love of your family or the friendship of
your classmates. We all want people to like us, so it is n 1 for us to do what we can to
please others. H 2 , we also know that this is not always possible. Life does not always
run smoothly for us and mistakes happen.
What happens when you make a mistake Do you try to h 3 the fact, or deny any
responsibility We all know that this behavior usually makes the situation much w 4 . As
we grow and mature, we should realize the best thing to do after a mistake is m 5 is to
accept responsibility, and to offer an apology to those affected.
Taking ownership of a mistake and saying you’re sorry allows several positive things to
happen. It helps people to regain trust and confidence in you, and it helps people to repair any d
6 that was caused by the mistake.
Another very important aspect of saying you’re sorry is that it helps you to regain respect
for yourself. It allows you to put a mistake behind you, and to move on with your life. Accepting
responsibility also helps us to learn from our errors, and encourages us not to repeat them in the
future. Perhaps it also helps us to learn how to forgive others who make mistakes. Learning to say
you’re sorry is a sure way to learn how to r 7 yourself and others.

“We have been taking all kinds of classes, including customer service, foreign languages,
sign language, winter sports knowledge, etiquette (礼 仪 ) and makeup skills,” said Wu. “The
classes ran from 9 a.m to 5 p.m. S 2 there were even night classes. We were busy like
students.”
Besides that, they also improved themselves through training. For example, they held a
chopstick in their mouths to practise their warmest smiles. They put a piece of paper between their

they need to give accurate information. All the e 4 are made to offer the best service.
They also designed and decorated the carriages with snowflakes, Olympics logos, and
pictures of winter sports athletes. “Our purpose is to c 5 an atmosphere (氛围) of the
Winter Olympics. We did all these by ourselves, and the train is like a home we have built
together,” said Wu.
Along the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway, there are many tunnels through the mountains.
Some passengers may feel “ear popping” (耳鸣) when the train runs at high speed. They wonder
how to deal with it. To meet people’s n 6 , the “Snow Dream” team made a six-step
exercise. Passengers can learn it from the screens on board.
“These days, more and more winter sports lovers take this train to ski in Yanqing and

of course, we’ll welcome the Winter Olympics with our greatest enthusiasm!”
