初二英语阅读训练之首字母填空
复习专项——首字母填空
期末复习专项——首字母填空
首字母填空类属于短文的阅读题的考查，可以是考查英语语言知识方面的，也可能涉及到其它学科的内容。

学会一点常用的答题技巧，
再在做习题中体验一下，就可以解决这方面的问题。

在此提供了初中英语第一学期首字母填空练习，从牛津英语教材的角度，按年级划分，并附上参考答案，希望对初中生有所裨益。

就答题技巧问题也说两句。

首先要通读短文，了解文章的大意。

每篇短文段落之间必然承上启下、前呼后应。

因此通读全文时要一气呵成，只要能了解短文的大意即可，细节不理解可以跳过。

因此，在解题之前通读一遍短文，目的是对文章有个全面的了解，弄清其中心思想和大意。

其次要特别注意一篇文章的开头和结尾，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。

在阅读过程中，要注意上、下文的关系，这对于把握文章的整体意义大有用处。

对不理解的地方采用暂时回避的方式，待真正理解全文之后再找解决的方法。

有些短文填空题，有时出现少量的生词是很正常的，这就要求学生根据构词知识或上、下文的意思加以猜测，来确定它的词义。

在阅读过程中，对留空的句子进行全面的分析，看它在全文中所处的位置、作用和意义。

这一遍阅读要求是精心阅读，要留心找出关键词、短语或句子，还要结合所给首字母的提示，进行填写，并注意单词的正确形式。

做完填空，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，有无句型结构及语法错误。

从实际中看，很多学生能够充分利用词首字母和短文内容填写单词，关注单词的形式变化，深思熟虑很重要。

阅读短文，根据首字母提示填空，每空一词。

One day I found a little girl sitting in the park sadly. Lots of people passed by but never s 81 to see why she looked so sad. As I got closer I
saw that her b 82 had a strange shape. That's a hump (驼背)! Perhaps
that was the r 83 why people just passed by and make no effort to help. I
sat down beside her and said, “Hello!”Then she, in a low voice, said, “Hi.”I
smiled and she smiled b 84 , shyly. Then we talked there u 85
it got
dark. I asked the girl why she was so sad. She looked at me and said with a

“But, you make me t 86 of an angel (天使), sweet and friendly,”I
said. She looked at me and asked, “Really?”I said, “Yes, I think you
are an
angel and you come here to watch over all those people walking by.”When
she h 87 this, the little girl jumped up. “I am! I'm an angel!”I was happy

Man has a big brain. He can think and s 76 languages. Scientists
once thought that man isn't the same as animals b 77 man can think and
learn. They know now that dogs, monkeys and birds can learn, too.
They are beginning to u 78 that men are different from animals
because they can speak. Animals can't speak. They make much
