语篇练习（语法填空）
Passage 1（改编自2023·北京卷）
I was always timid. Being new to the school made me even 1 (shy), so it was surprising I'd chat to anyone around me. Now I was paying the price — to write a five-page essay on “Why I Should Not Talk in Class”. That would take all night!After I got home, I took my time petting the cat — postponing the pain. When I finally sat down to write, I began with the reasons Ms. Black would want to hear. Talking kept me and my neighbors from 2 (learn). One paragraph down; now what? I chewed on my pencil. Aha! What if talking were the first step towards life as a criminal? Without the education I was throwing away, I'd turn to theft and go to prison. The pages began 3 (fly).When Mum got home from work, I was still 4 (complain), “Five pages! That’s 5 (possible)!” “Well, you'd better get back to work,” she said. After dinner, I handed the essay to Mum. I half expected a lecture. 6 , Mum laughed and laughed as she read. The next day, when Ms. Black read the essay to the class, everyone laughed. I learned I wasn't shy in print.答案：1. shyer 2. learning 3. flying 4. complaining 5. impossible 6. Instead
Passage 2（原创·反义词专项）
Many people believe that success comes from talent. However, recent research suggests that this view is 1 (accurate). In fact, 2 (patient) and perseverance are often more important than natural ability.Take Thomas Edison, for example. He made thousands of 3 (success) attempts before inventing the light bulb. His 4 (willing) to give up was what made him successful.Similarly, J.K. Rowling received multiple 5 (accept) letters from publishers before Harry Potter was finally published. She didn't become 6 (courage); instead, she found the strength to continue.These stories teach us that what seems 7 (possible) today may become achievable tomorrow. The most 8 (replaceable) thing on the road to success is the determination to keep going.答案：1. inaccurate 2. impatience 3. unsuccessful 4. unwillingness 5. rejection 6. discouraged 7. impossible 8. irreplaceable
I was always timid (羞怯的). Being new to the school made me even ______, so it was surprising I’d chat to anyone around me.A. freer B. shyer C. calmer D. happier解析：前句说“我总是很羞怯”，新到一个学校“让我甚至更______”，根据句意和前后逻辑，应为“更羞怯”。shyer 与 timid 形成同根词复现，同时与后文的“chat（聊天）”形成行为上的反义呼应。考查点：同根词复现（timid → shy）
