【題目】 I was always tall for my age. When I started Grade 7, I was taller 【1】 everyone in the school. But I was never very athletic. Other kids could do things in sports that I just couldn't do, I 【2】 the world's worst thrower.

In Grade 8, we got a new coach. He said to me "You can be a good athlete."

Every day after school, I worked with the new coach. He told me that 【3】 I was so tall, my job would be to play center. I practised shooting. When I first started, I got zero of ten shots I took. But 【4】 a few weeks, I had about five of ten shots landing in the basket.

I still wasn't very good. But I became pretty good at putting the ball into 【5】 net. I didn't do it very well, but I learned something about myself.

【答案】

【1】than

【2】was

【3】because

【4】after

【5】the

【解析】

文章主要講述了作者在七年級的時候，比其他同學都高，但是他不擅長打籃球，后來在八年級時遇到一個新的教練，在教練的指導下，作者在籃球方面取得了很大的進步。

【1】句意：我比學校里的每個人都高。

根據(jù)句意理解及空格前的taller可知，這里缺的是比較級的標志詞，英語中含有比較級的句子中一般會有than，表示“……比……”，所以這里應該填than，故答案為than。

【2】句意：我是世界上最差的投擲運動員。

根據(jù)句意理解可知，這里表達的是“是”，英語是be動詞，在句中作謂語，由前句When I started Grade 7可知，事情是發(fā)生在過去，所以這里應該用be動詞的過去式，句子主語是I，所以這里應該用was，故答案為was。

【3】句意：他告訴我，因為我太高了，我的工作就是打中鋒。

根據(jù)句意理解可知，I was so tall.與my job would be to play center.兩句之間是因果關(guān)系，且前句表達的是原因，所以這里應該填“因為”，英語是because，故答案為because。

【4】句意：但是在幾個星期之后，我投籃大概能夠十投五中。

根據(jù)句意理解及前句When I first started, I got zero of ten shots I took.可知，這里表達的是“一個星期之后”，英語是after，故答案為after。

【5】句意：但我很擅長把球投進網(wǎng)中。

根據(jù)句意理解可知，前文已經(jīng)提到作者練習投籃的情況，所以這里指的是練習投籃的那個網(wǎng)，所以這里應該用定冠詞the，故答案為the。

【題目】Dear Linda,

“The only constant (不變的) in life is change.” Have you heard about it before? It means that life is always changing and bringing us new challenges.

________I’ve experienced it many times throughout my life. New teachers, new coworkers…it can be difficult to deal with sometimes. And not all change is good. It can be frustrating (令人沮喪的) to get used to new situations.

However, I do have some suggestions. First, you can talk with your teacher after class and discuss your problem.

Good teachers will do their best to make sure that all of the students in their classes can benefit (從……受益) from their teaching.

I assume (假定) that this teacher is not the only English teacher in your school. You could ask other English teachers some questions during your breaks. You also can learn English outside of school, such as by taking an online English course. You can surely find a suitable teacher for yourself.

All in all, if you don’t want to give up studying English, then you’d better work hard on it, no matter who teaches you. It’s always a good idea to be optimistic (積極的) about any situation you’re in.

When a thought has found words

Poetry（詩歌）is the forgotten child of literature. Few people read it for pleasure. In Western high schools, poetry is seldom taught because it is considered to be out of date and have little to do with the life of today's students.

In China. however. poetry is still an important part of the curriculum（課程）. Recently, the Ministry of Education has increased the number of ancient Chinese poems for students to memorize and recite, from 14 to 72. Why is it important to learn poems?

It is also the key to understanding the thoughts and feelings that are common to everyone but that we may be unable to express-the joy of Li Bai dancing with the moon, for example. Everyone has feelings of joy, love, loneliness, sadness and even anger, and a good poem can put those feelings into words and bring us self-understanding.

Poems can also express beauty. In a few short lines, even something common can become beautiful. Here is a poem called Fog by Carl Sandberg: The fog comes/on silent haunches（弓腰）/and then moves on. Yes, fog does move smoothly, silently and like a cat, and Sandberg catches that feeling and image（形象）, and makes it beautiful.

Of course, to really enjoy poetry, it has to be read aloud. After all, a poem is really just a song without music. Most ancient poetry, like Homer's Epics（《荷馬史詩》）and China's Book of Songs, was spoken for hundreds of years before it was written. the thought has found words." You are lucky that you now have seventy-two poems to learn!
