2．Let's do some sleep math.You lost two hours of sleep every night last week because of a big project due on Friday.On Saturday and Sunday，you slept in，getting four extra hours.On the next Monday morning，you were feeling so bright﹣eyed that you only had one cup of coffee，instead of your usual two.But don't be cheated by your energy.You're still carrying around a heavy load of sleepiness，or what experts call "sleep debt".
Sleep debt is the difference between the amount of sleep you should be getting and the amount you actually get.It's a shortage that grows every time we skim some extra minutes off our nightly sleep. "People get more sleep debt gradually without being noticed，" says William C.Dement，founder of the Stanford University Sleep Clinic.Studies show that such short﹣term sleep lack leads to a foggy brain，worsened sight，and trouble remembering.Long﹣term effects include fatness，insulin resistance（胰岛素抵抗），and heart disease.A survey by the National Sleep Foundation reports that we're losing one hour of sleep each night﹣more than two full weeks of sleep every year.
The good news is that，like all debts，with some work，sleep debt can be repaid.Adding an extra hour or two of sleep a night is the way to make up.For the long﹣term lack of sleep，relax for a few months to get back into a natural sleep pattern.Go to bed when you are tired，and allow your body to wake you in the morning（no alarm clock allowed）.At the beginning，you may expect to have ten hours' shut﹣eye per night.As the days pass，however，the amount of sleeping time will gradually decrease.
So earn back the lost sleep and follow the rules of your sleep needs. "When you put away sleep debt，you become a superman，" says Stanford's Dement．
（1）Why did the author mention the example of sleep math？ 　 　
A．To show in what case you build up a sleep debt.
B．To inform why you need six hours' sleep every night.
C．To state in what way you can make up for lack of sleep.
D．To explain why you are energetic even without enough sleep.
（2）What does Dement mean by saying the underlined sentence in the last paragraph？ 　 　
A．You need a lot of sleep to be a superman.
B．You will be in a good state with enough sleep.
C．You need to be a superman to repay sleep debt.
D．You will become a superman with more sleep debt.
（3）What might be the most suitable title for the passage？ 　 　
A．What is sleep debt？
B．Can coffee refresh you？
C．How can you keep energetic？
D．Can you make up for the lost sleep？
3．If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles.He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day，few people in the United States will give him a passing thought.It's nothing personal.Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius.In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades，the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities.More recently，the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries.These schools teach both Chinese language and culture.The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art，history and philosophy（哲学）.Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy.Students in the United States，at the same time，are racing to learn Chinese.So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States.Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever，and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker，he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West，even if his birthday is.
（1）The opening paragraph is mainly intended to 　 　 .
A．provide some key facts about Confucius
B．attract the readers' interest in the subject
C．show great respect for the ancient thinker
D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
（2）We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students 　 　 .
A．have a great interest in studying Chinese
B．take an active part in Chinese competitions
C．try to get high scores in Chinese exams
D．fight for a chance to learn Chinese
（3）What is the best title for the passage？ 　 　
A．Forgotten Wisdom in America
B．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
C．Chinese Culture for Westerners
D．Old Thinker with a Big Future
（4）The passage is likely to appear in 　 　 .
A．a biography
B．a history paper
C．a newspaper
D．a philosophy textbook

5．Some people don't know whether to learn American English or British English．Here is my answer to it．
It's really，really hard to pick up a native﹣sounding accent if you learn English as an adult．Children pick up accents very quickly，but adults don't．Even after speaking English every day for twenty or thirty years，you'll probably keep a bit of a foreign accent．I've met many English learners who've lived abroad for several years in an English﹣speaking country．For the most part，I can't tell what country they've lived in unless they tell me．
Since it's so hard to learn an accent，you probably shouldn't spend a lot of time trying to guide yours to one accent or the other．There are better ways to use your time，like learning new vocabulary or phrases．
Even if you are able to get an American or British accent，it won't make much difference．That's because English speakers are used to hearing different accents．Americans hear British accents on TV and movies．And we all hear accents from other countries：Russian accents，Korean accents，French accents，and so on．Usually，British people like the way that Americans sound，and Americans like the way that British people sound．So you're OK either way．
So just pick whatever language is most convenient for you．If you have friends or teachers from America，you should probably learn American English．If you have British friends or coworkers，maybe it's better to learn British English．
It's probably easiest to stick with（保持） just one kind．However，there's nothing wrong with mixing a bit of British and American English together．It won't hurt you!
（1）The author mentions English learners in Paragraph 2 to show　 　 ．
A．it's hard to speak like native speakers
B．the author isn't good at telling accents
C．people don't like speaking with an accent
D．people like to live abroad to learn a language
（2）What does the author think English learners should do？　 　
A．Choose a special country to live in．
B．Make use of time to learn new words．
C．Tell the differences between accents．
D．Learn British accents through movies．
（3）Paragraph 4 mainly shows that　 　 ．
A．there are many accents in the world
B．which accent to learn isn't that important
C．American and British accents aren't very different
D．Americans and British people understand each other
（4）The author thinks mixing some British and American English together is　 　 ．
A．okay
B．necessary
C．wrong
D．dangerous
三．信息匹配（共1小题）
6．What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you？Truth be told，no one has the right to judge you.People can't feel what you are going through；they aren't living YOUR life.So forget what they say about you.（1）　 　 .
Follow your own unique path and work on your goals.Every new day is a chance to change your life.Work hard for what you believe，and remember realistic goals are the key to success.People know success is directly connected with daily action.（2）　 　 .
Adjust your goals and dreams as life changes.A great deal of pain in life comes from having a specific dream that you've fallen in love with，and when it doesn't work out exactly as planned，you become angry that you now have to pursue a different path.（3）　 　 ，but it provides plenty of opportunities to make dreams come true.Just don't forget that sometimes taking a positive step forward requires you to slightly adjust your dreams，or plan new ones.
（4）　 　 .When you are feeling down or dealing with failure，don't be ashamed.There's nothing to be ashamed of.You are going through a difficult time，and you are still pushing forward.That's something to be proud of.Let everyone know that today you are a lot stronger than you were yesterday，and you will keep your head high and keep on smiling.（5）　 　 .The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them.Don't cry over the past，but cry to get over the past.Don't smile to hide the pain，but smile to heal the pain.Don't think of all the sadness in the world，but think of all the beauty that still remains around you.
A.Life is unpredictable
B.Fight through your failures
C.Focus on how you feel about yourself
D.Every day of your life is a page of your history

7．Hello，everyone.Today I'll talk about how to improve your pronunciation.Language researchers say pronunciation and（1）　 　 （fluent） are the biggest barriers，followed by grammar，in effective spoken English.However，most people don't regard pronunciation（2）　 　 a very important part of communication skills.They're more（3）　 　 （focus） on vocabulary.One reason is that most people are not even aware of their mispronunciations.So it's important to first find out（4）　 　 words you mispronounce.You should listen to experts.I mean those（5）　 　 are less likely to make pronunciation mistakes.When（6）　 　 （ listen） to them，pay attention to words that sound strange ，strange because you pronounce the same words（7）　 　 （different）.When you come across such words，check a dictionary to confirm their exact（8）　 　 （pronunciation）.You can also search for difficult﹣to﹣pronounce words and names，and make a list of them.The last（9）　 　 （suggest） is to read aloud.Now you've got the correct pronunciations of the words，it's time（10）　 　 （ practice） reading them every day.

14．When I was a little girl，I knew that I had a gift for music.Playing was my love.While most kids were outside in the burning summer sun，playing childish games，I was happy to sit in the cool indoors for hours practicing my beloved piano.When I played，I felt like I was in a whole new world where I was free and easy.All I had to worry about was my music.Playing was never boring for me.
I had spent months practicing and the big day finally came.It was the day of the Alberta Music Competition.The music hall was packed with excited audience.I sat in the first row with my mother seated beside me.As the fellow competitors were playing，I couldn't keep my mind on their music.I was just memorizing the notes and practising the fingerings.I had known my music was like the back of my hand.But this time，to my great surprise，I found my fingers completely out of my control.They kept shaking.I nearly burst into tears.Seeing this，Mom held my hands tightly in hers.She even breathed into them as if she wanted to warm them up.Then she whispered in my ear， "Sweetie，take it easy.Just listen and enjoy the music.
I looked up and turned my attention to the competitor in the center of the stage for the first time.A thin and tall boy was sitting at the beautiful red piano.He looked calm and confident.His fingertips danced on the keyboard.The soft and gentle sound of the piano flew in the air.For a moment，I totally forgot my nervousness.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Then I was announced to play next and I felt anxious again.
Suddenly my fingers slipped（滑）and I hit a wrong note.

【答案】（1）﹣（3）ABD
【分析】本文为说明文。主要讲的是我们是如何积累自己的睡眠债务的，以及长期这样下去会对我们的身体健康造成影响。
【解答】（1）A.推理判断题。通读第一段Let's do some sleep math.You lost two hours of sleep every night last week because of a big project due on Friday.On Saturday and Sunday，you slept in，getting four extra hours.On the next Monday morning，you were feeling so bright﹣eyed that you only had one cup of coffee，instead of your usual two.（让我们做一些睡眠数学。上周你因为周五的一个大项目而失去了两个小时的睡眠。周六和周日，你睡懒觉，多睡了四个小时。下一个周一早上，你感觉眼睛很亮，只喝了一杯咖啡，而不是平时喝的两杯。）可知，第一段举了睡眠数学的例子，主要讲的是我们是怎么积累自己的睡眠债务的，故选A。
（2）B.句意理解题。根据最后一段的When you put away sleep debt，you become a superman（当你放下睡眠债，你就成了超人）可知，Dement的意思是：当你有了足够的睡眠，你可以有很好的状态。故选B。
（3）D.标题判断题。根据第三段的 The good news is that，like all debts，with some work，sleep debt can be repaid.Adding an extra hour or two of sleep a night is the way to make up.（好消息是，像所有的债务一样，通过一些工作，睡眠债务可以得到偿还。每晚多睡一两个小时是弥补的方法。）可知，文章介绍我们长期睡眠不足会对健康造成危害，但是我们可以通过一些方法弥补失去的睡眠。Can you make up for the lost sleep？是最合适的标题。故选D。

3．If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles.He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day，few people in the United States will give him a passing thought.It's nothing personal.Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius.In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades，the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities.More recently，the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries.These schools teach both Chinese language and culture.The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art，history and philosophy（哲学）.Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy.Students in the United States，at the same time，are racing to learn Chinese.So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States.Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever，and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker，he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West，even if his birthday is.
（1）The opening paragraph is mainly intended to 　B　 .
A．provide some key facts about Confucius
B．attract the readers' interest in the subject
C．show great respect for the ancient thinker
D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
（2）We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students 　A　 .
A．have a great interest in studying Chinese
B．take an active part in Chinese competitions
C．try to get high scores in Chinese exams
D．fight for a chance to learn Chinese
（3）What is the best title for the passage？ 　D　
A．Forgotten Wisdom in America
B．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
C．Chinese Culture for Westerners
D．Old Thinker with a Big Future
（4）The passage is likely to appear in 　C　 .
A．a biography
B．a history paper
C．a newspaper
D．a philosophy textbook
【答案】（1）﹣（4）BADC
【分析】本文是新闻报道。文章介绍了西方学生热烈学习中国文化的现象，并告诉我们中国古代伟大的思想家﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣孔子的思想仍然受到人们的追捧。
【解答】（1）B.推理判断题。根据第一段"If Confucius（孔子） were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles.He'd need a strong wind to help him put them out.（如果孔子仍然活着并能用一个很大的蛋糕庆祝他9月28日的生日的话，将会有很多的蜡烛。他需要很大的风才能吹灭）"可知，作者是以孔子生日这个话题，吸引读者的兴趣，引出本文要讨论的真正话题。故选B。
（2）A.推理判断题。根据第四段中的In the past two decades，the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities.（在过去的20年里，中国的研究项目在西方大学里非常受欢迎）和Students in the United States，at the same time，are racing to learn Chinese.（与此同时，美国的学生也在竞相学习中文）可知，美国学生对中国文化很感兴趣。故选A。
（3）D.标题判断题。本文主要向我们介绍了孔子思想对西方的影响，以及将来可能产生的影响。由此可知，D项Old Thinker with a Big Future（前程远大的老思想家）适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。
（4）C.文章出处题。文章主要讲的是中国的思想家孔子及其所代表的东方文化仍然被西方所推崇，而并没有讲孔子这个人具体如何，也没有谈及历史或者哲学内容，由此可推断这篇文章更可能出现在报纸上。A.a biography一本传记；B.a history paper一篇历史论文；C.a newspaper一份报纸；D.a philosophy textbook一本哲学课本。故正确答案为C。

5．Some people don't know whether to learn American English or British English．Here is my answer to it．
It's really，really hard to pick up a native﹣sounding accent if you learn English as an adult．Children pick up accents very quickly，but adults don't．Even after speaking English every day for twenty or thirty years，you'll probably keep a bit of a foreign accent．I've met many English learners who've lived abroad for several years in an English﹣speaking country．For the most part，I can't tell what country they've lived in unless they tell me．
Since it's so hard to learn an accent，you probably shouldn't spend a lot of time trying to guide yours to one accent or the other．There are better ways to use your time，like learning new vocabulary or phrases．
Even if you are able to get an American or British accent，it won't make much difference．That's because English speakers are used to hearing different accents．Americans hear British accents on TV and movies．And we all hear accents from other countries：Russian accents，Korean accents，French accents，and so on．Usually，British people like the way that Americans sound，and Americans like the way that British people sound．So you're OK either way．
So just pick whatever language is most convenient for you．If you have friends or teachers from America，you should probably learn American English．If you have British friends or coworkers，maybe it's better to learn British English．
It's probably easiest to stick with（保持） just one kind．However，there's nothing wrong with mixing a bit of British and American English together．It won't hurt you!
（1）The author mentions English learners in Paragraph 2 to show　A　 ．
A．it's hard to speak like native speakers
B．the author isn't good at telling accents
C．people don't like speaking with an accent
D．people like to live abroad to learn a language
（2）What does the author think English learners should do？　B　
A．Choose a special country to live in．
B．Make use of time to learn new words．
C．Tell the differences between accents．
D．Learn British accents through movies．

A．there are many accents in the world
B．which accent to learn isn't that important
C．American and British accents aren't very different
D．Americans and British people understand each other
（4）The author thinks mixing some British and American English together is　A　 ．

三．信息匹配（共1小题）
6．What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you？Truth be told，no one has the right to judge you.People can't feel what you are going through；they aren't living YOUR life.So forget what they say about you.（1）　C　 .
Follow your own unique path and work on your goals.Every new day is a chance to change your life.Work hard for what you believe，and remember realistic goals are the key to success.People know success is directly connected with daily action.（2）　E　 .
Adjust your goals and dreams as life changes.A great deal of pain in life comes from having a specific dream that you've fallen in love with，and when it doesn't work out exactly as planned，you become angry that you now have to pursue a different path.（3）　A　 ，but it provides plenty of opportunities to make dreams come true.Just don't forget that sometimes taking a positive step forward requires you to slightly adjust your dreams，or plan new ones.
（4）　B　 .When you are feeling down or dealing with failure，don't be ashamed.There's nothing to be ashamed of.You are going through a difficult time，and you are still pushing forward.That's something to be proud of.Let everyone know that today you are a lot stronger than you were yesterday，and you will keep your head high and keep on smiling.（5）　D　 .The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them.Don't cry over the past，but cry to get over the past.Don't smile to hide the pain，but smile to heal the pain.Don't think of all the sadness in the world，but think of all the beauty that still remains around you.
A.Life is unpredictable
B.Fight through your failures
C.Focus on how you feel about yourself
D.Every day of your life is a page of your history
E.Doing small things brings them closer to their dreams
【答案】CEABD
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过这篇文章告诉我们不要在乎别人的指指点点，没有人有指责你的权力，我们要相信自己，做自己认为正确的事情。
【解答】（1）C.细节理解题。根据空前People can't feel what you are going through；they aren't living YOUR life.So forget what they say about you人们感受不到你所经历的；他们没有过你的生活。所以忘记他们对你的评价吧，由此可知，空处作者建议我们关注自己的生活，不要在意别人的看法；结合选项可知，选项C.Focus on how you feel about yourself关注你对自己的感觉，与空前一句对应，符合题意。故选C。
（2）E.细节理解题。根据空前People know success is directly connected with daily action.人们知道成功与日常行动直接相关。由此可知，空处作者建议我们要从小事做起，实现自己的梦想；结合选项可知，选项E.Doing small things brings them closer to their dreams做小事能让他们离梦想更近，此处的their指的是前文的people。故选E。
（3）A.推理判断题。根据空前 when it doesn't work out exactly as planned，you become angry that you now have to pursue a different path当事情没有完全按照计划进行时，你会因为现在不得不追求不同的道路而感到愤怒；由此可知，空处作者会告诉我们生活中的不确定性；结合选项可知，选项A.Life is unpredictable生活是不可预测的，此处unpredictable相当于前一句中的it doesn't work out exactly as planned。故选A。
（4）B.细节理解题。根据空后 When you are feeling down or dealing with failure，don't be ashamed.There's nothing to be ashamed of.当你感到沮丧或面对失败时，不要感到羞愧。没什么好羞愧的。由此可知，空处作者谈论如何应对失败；结合选项可知，选项B.Fight through your failures战胜失败，符合题意，此处failures与下一句中的failure属于词汇复现。故选B。
（5）D.推理判断题。根据空前 Let everyone know that today you are a lot stronger than you were yesterday，and you will keep your head high and keep on smiling.让每个人都知道，今天的你比昨天坚强了很多，你会昂首挺胸，继续微笑。由此可知，空处作者鼓励我们前进，每一天都是属于自己的历史；结合选项可知，选项D.Every day of your life is a page of your history你生命中的每一天都是你历史的一页，与本段描述一致。故选D。
【点评】"七选五"选择题，主要目的在于考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。解题时最主要的两个步骤就是1．理清文章的逻辑和结构，2．在所给的原文中找出关键词或者说是线索词。文章的整体思路能帮助你在答案中筛选出符合逻辑的选项，关键词则能帮助你确定更多的细节，排除相近的选。得出正确的答案。
四．语法填空（共1小题）
7．Hello，everyone.Today I'll talk about how to improve your pronunciation.Language researchers say pronunciation and（1）　fluency　 （fluent） are the biggest barriers，followed by grammar，in effective spoken English.However，most people don't regard pronunciation（2）　as　 a very important part of communication skills.They're more（3）　focused　 （focus） on vocabulary.One reason is that most people are not even aware of their mispronunciations.So it's important to first find out（4）　the　 words you mispronounce.You should listen to experts.I mean those（5）　who　 are less likely to make pronunciation mistakes.When（6）　listening　 （ listen） to them，pay attention to words that sound strange ，strange because you pronounce the same words（7）　differently　 （different）.When you come across such words，check a dictionary to confirm their exact（8）　pronunciations　 （pronunciation）.You can also search for difficult﹣to﹣pronounce words and names，and make a list of them.The last（9）　suggestion　 （suggest） is to read aloud.Now you've got the correct pronunciations of the words，it's time（10）　to practice　 （ practice） reading them every day.
【答案】（1）fluency（2）as（3）focused（4）the（5）who（6）listening（7）differently（8）pronunciations（9）suggestion（10）to practice
【分析】本文是一篇应用文。文章就如何改善你的发音问题提出了一些建议。
【解答】（1）考查不可数名词。句意：语言研究人员说，在有效的英语口语中，发音和流畅是最大的障碍，其次是语法。空处与pronunciation并列，在宾语从句中作主语，应填名词fluency，意为"流畅"，是不可数名词，故填fluency。
（2）考查介词。句意：然而，大多数人并不认为发音是沟通技巧中非常重要的一部分。regard...as为固定搭配，意为"认为……是"，故填as。
（3）考查形容词。句意：他们更注重词汇。根据空前more可知，此处应填形容词focused"注意力集中的"，be focused on意为"集中于……"。故填focused，
（4）考查冠词。句意：所以首先找出你读错的单词是很重要的。根据后面you mispronounce可知，此处words特指"你读错的单词"，前面需加定冠词，故填the。
（5）考查定语从句。句意：我指的是那些不太可能犯发音错误的人。空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词those指代上一句提到的experts（专家），指人，且在从句中作主语，应用关系代词who，故填who。
（6）考查现在分词。句意：当你听的时候，注意那些听起来奇怪的单词，奇怪是因为你对同一个单词的发音不同。when引导的时间状语从句中省略了主语和be动词，主句为祈使句，省略了主语you，you与listen之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词形式，故填listening。
（7）考查副词。句意：当你听的时候，注意那些听起来奇怪的单词，奇怪是因为你对同一个单词的发音不同。空处修饰动词pronounce，应用副词作状语，故填differently。
（8）考查可数名词复数。句意：当你遇到这样的单词时，查字典确认它们的准确发音。pronunciation"发音"是可数名词，空前有their修饰，应用复数形式，故填pronunciations。
（9）考查可数名词单数。句意：最后一个建议是大声朗读。空处作主语，应填名词suggestion，表示"建议"，是可数名词，根据修饰词the last及空后is可知，主语为单数形式，故填suggestion。
（10）考查动词不定式。句意：现在你已经掌握了单词的正确发音，是时候每天练习阅读了。it's time to do sth为固定句式，表示"是时候做某事了"，空处应用动词不定式，故填to practice。
【点评】语法填空考查学生英语综合知识的运用，做题时要首先明确短文大意，从词语搭配，固定句型，语法，时态等方面综合考虑，结合上下文语境找出正确答案。
五．单词拼写（共5小题）
8．Having strong motivation（动机） is one of the biggest　factors　 （因素） in reaching goals．
【答案】见试题解答内容

【解答】答案：factors
考查名词．根据所给的汉语提示"因素"和空前的形容词biggest可知，此处应用名词形式，"因素"的英语是factor且为可数名词，结合前面的one of可知应用复数形式，故填factors．
【点评】翻译填空要在理解句子的结构和含义的基础上根据汉语意思选择恰当的词、短语或句型；同时注意所选词的形式变化．
9．（2024秋 洪江市校级开学）I would 　appreciate　 （感激） it if you could spare some time to help me with my writing.
【答案】appreciate
【分析】如果你能抽出一些时间帮助我写作，我将不胜感激。
【解答】答案：appreciate.设空处作谓语，根据提示词"感激"可知应填动词appreciate，would后面用动词原形，故填appreciate。
【点评】做单词填空题，首先要明确所给词的词性并弄清所给句子的意思，分析句子结构确定空白处所需的词性，结合语境做出合乎语法和惯用法的词形变化，最后填写拼写正确的单词。
10．There were calls for　major　 （主要的） changes to the system．
【答案】见试题解答内容
【分析】有人要求对系统进行重大的修改．
【解答】答案：major．根据汉语提示"主要的"，可知用形容词major修饰名词changes．
【点评】考查翻译填空．
首先根据语法判断待译部分在句中的功能，结构及形式，即在句中充当什么成分，用动宾短语，介宾短语还是名词性短语，是否要用从句，是否要倒装等．选词应尽量贴切，尤其要注意搭配是否正确． 翻译完成后再次通读句子，检查句子．考查翻译填空，准确地理解句子、翻译句子，然后根据句意及提示确定所填单词词性，正确写出单词完成句子，使句意更通顺．
11．（2024秋 玉林期末）As time goes by，I have changed my 　attitude　 （态度） and I even think she is lovely．
【答案】见试题解答内容
【分析】随着时间的推移，我改变了我的态度，我甚至认为她很可爱．
【解答】答案：attitude
考查名词．根据所给的汉语提示"态度"和空前的形容词性物主代词my可知，此处应用名词形式，"态度"的英语是attitude，故填attitude．
【点评】翻译填空要在理解句子的结构和含义的基础上根据汉语意思选择恰当的词、短语或句型；同时注意所选词的形式变化．
12．The film referred to in his speech is b 　ased　 on a real historical event.
【答案】based
【分析】他演讲中提到的那部电影是根据一个真实的历史事件改编的。
【解答】根据句意和首字母提示可知这句话使用短语be based on意为"以...为基础"。故填based。
【点评】首字母单词填空要求考生不仅具备一定的词汇量、扎实的句型和语法知识，还要去学生有较好的阅读能力，能灵活运用所学知识去分析语篇。简单地说，该题型的考查范围极广，不仅包括词汇和语法的掌握，还考查学生的阅读分析能力、逻辑推理能力，以及情境语感。

14．When I was a little girl，I knew that I had a gift for music.Playing was my love.While most kids were outside in the burning summer sun，playing childish games，I was happy to sit in the cool indoors for hours practicing my beloved piano.When I played，I felt like I was in a whole new world where I was free and easy.All I had to worry about was my music.Playing was never boring for me.
I had spent months practicing and the big day finally came.It was the day of the Alberta Music Competition.The music hall was packed with excited audience.I sat in the first row with my mother seated beside me.As the fellow competitors were playing，I couldn't keep my mind on their music.I was just memorizing the notes and practising the fingerings.I had known my music was like the back of my hand.But this time，to my great surprise，I found my fingers completely out of my control.They kept shaking.I nearly burst into tears.Seeing this，Mom held my hands tightly in hers.She even breathed into them as if she wanted to warm them up.Then she whispered in my ear， "Sweetie，take it easy.Just listen and enjoy the music.
I looked up and turned my attention to the competitor in the center of the stage for the first time.A thin and tall boy was sitting at the beautiful red piano.He looked calm and confident.His fingertips danced on the keyboard.The soft and gentle sound of the piano flew in the air.For a moment，I totally forgot my nervousness.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Then I was announced to play next and I felt anxious again.
Suddenly my fingers slipped（滑）and I hit a wrong note.
【答案】Then I was announced to play next and I felt anxious again.It seemed that thousands of butterflies were really flying in my stomach.My mother gave me a pat onthe back and said softly，"Just enjoy it，honey!"I found encouragement and confidence in her eyes.I got up，climbed up the stage steps and bowed to the audience.I tried my best to keep calm.I slowly placed my hands on the keyboard，took a deep breath and started to play.To my delight，everything seemed unbelievably smooth.
Suddenly my fingers slipped and I hit a wrong note.I could clearly feel the disappointment from the crowd's deep sigh."Just enjoy it!"Mum's words echoed in my ears.I continued playing as if nothing had happened.Soon I found myself absorbed in the familiar music world again.Eventually，when I finished my last note，the crowd all stood up with applause and cheering，which was totally out of my expectation.Though I didn't win the champion，I knew I had learned something more valuable.I realized that learning to enjoy music was more important than the competition itself.

【点评】解题方法点拨
（1）品读原文，确定文章线索
每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路，通过精读文章，找到该篇文章的写作线索。如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜（结尾）"。
（2）仔细审题，明确续写要求
一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此次短文续写的具体要求，如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示，这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
（3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路
根据文章后面的要求，再次快速阅读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
（4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句
拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
