2016-2025天津中考英语首字母填空真题汇编

Today the earth is getting warmer and warmer. But hundreds of years a 56 , people had a different problem—a 400-year cold period! From the 1400s to the 1800s, winters in the northern half of the earth were c 57 and longer than they are now. Scientists c 58 this time the “Little Ice Age” (小冰期).

The colder weather b 59 many serious problems. Plants died of cold and illness spread among people. People had to spend a lot more time collecting wood for fires to keep their house warm. And sometimes, a h 60 piece of ice would slide down (滑落) a mountain and destroy (摧毁) some villages.

Scientists think the Little Ice Age was caused by forces (力量) that people could not control. One cause (起因), in their opinion, was the sun. The sun often has “storms” of energy called sunspots (太阳黑子). During the Little Ice Age, there were fewer sunspots than there are t 61 . With fewer sunspots, the sun was giving out less e 62 which made the earth warm. Volcanic eruption (火山爆发) was probably a 63 natural cause. During the Little Ice Age, many volcanoes erupted. Their dust (灰尘) might stop the sun’s l 64 and heat from reaching the earth.

Today we are seeing the influences of rising temperature. Scientists think people are causing this change by b 65 a lot of coal and oil. So we need to change our way of living.

Long ago, the early people did not live in houses as we do today. Most of the homes were in caves or shelters (遮蔽物) which were built in trees. These ‘homes’ were only used as temporary (临时的) shelters to p 76 them from the sun, the rain and the wild animals in the forests. Men of that time were called ‘cave people’.

These ‘cave people’ usually lived in small groups and life was not e 77 for them. They had to move from place to place to s 78 for food. They would hunt, fish or pick wild fruit. When they couldn’t find a 79 to eat, they would leave to find another proper place. Their tools were very simple. They ate raw (生的) food u 80 they learnt how to make a fire. For clothing, they used only the bark (树皮) of trees or the skins (皮) of animals to c 81 their bodies.

However, the lives of the ‘cave people’ changed. They collected the seeds (种子) of wild plants that g 82 in the forests. Soon they learnt to plant fruit, vegetables and other crops. They also kept cows, sheep and other kinds of farm a 83 for milk, meat and skins. They became f 84 and lived in only one certain area. Their groups became l 85 than before as they lived more settled (固定的) lives. They built houses as long-lasting homes, and as a result, villages and towns developed quickly. The ‘cave people’ began to be civilized (文明的).

A smile shows that a person is happy. For example, a person may smile when he or she is p 56 with some progress in studies. Or a person may smile if a friend tells a funny joke. There are other good r 57 to smile often.

First, it is e 58 to smile than to show unhappiness. In fact, it only takes 17 muscles (肌肉) to smile. On the other hand, it takes 43 muscles to show unhappiness. So give the muscles in your f 59 a rest and smile!

Second, smiles are nice. People may try to l 60 nice by exercising or wearing nice clothes. However, people often say a smile is the best thing a person can wear. That is because it is easy to be a 61 someone who is smiling and happy. Almost no one wants to stay with someone who is always unhappy.

Third, smiles have power (感染力). Both smiling and laughing can easily and quickly s 62 from one person to another. If one person smiles, people around him or her want to smile, too. Similarly, when a person laughs, people tend (往往会) to laugh with him or her. If a person is s 63 , the best thing to do is to share a smile or a laugh. It is the easiest way to cheer someone up.

F 64 , smiling and laughing are very good for the body. Even though you are sad, try smiling. You’ll find that it will be difficult to s 65 sad for very long!

In the small villages of Kenya (肯尼亚), Africa, most kids want to read books. But no roads go to their homes, only miles and miles of sand. Cars and trucks are not useful, s 76 library books arrive on the backs of camels. Camels can handle (应付) the sand and the books. Two camels, a camel driver, and a librarian (图书管理员) w 77 to the villages together. One camel carries about 180 kilos of books, and the other carries a tent. At each village, the librarian sets up the tent and shows the b 78 to the kids inside. Two weeks later, the camels c 79 back with new books.

Some people in the mountains of northern Thailand (泰国) get books in a d 80 way. Their “l 81 ” are carried by elephants. These animals can handle the difficult journey. Because they are large, they can carry many books in metal cases (金属箱). The metal protects the books from the heavy rains that f 82 in the area.

Indonesia (印度尼西亚) has its own difficulties. The country has over 17,000 islands. Most people t 83 by boat and they also carry their books by boat. A library boat holds(容纳) about 500 books in boxes. Boxes of books are left in villages and are traded (交换) for new books a few weeks l 84 .

For people who live far and can’t get to a library, a library that comes to them brings more than books. It brings a whole w 85 of information.

Electric cars may seem like a recent invention, but they’ve been around for years. In the early 1900s, there were more electric cars on the road than there were petrol (汽油) cars. At that time, petrol was e 56 compared with other fuels (燃料). W 57 petrol prices dropped and new technologies were developed, electric cars went out of fashion (过时). Instead, petrol cars became more p 58 because they could travel longer distances (距离) without stopping.

During the 20th century, petrol cars got bigger, heavier, and faster. They needed more fuel, and it c 59 more air pollution. For years, car makers didn’t worry about pollution. They didn’t worry about the amount of petrol cars used, e 60 . But when people began to realise that there was not enough oil on the earth, they asked car makers to produce more efficient (高效能的) and less polluting cars.

One m 61 of solving the problem was a “hybrid” car (混合动力车), one that ran partly on petrol and partly on electricity. Hybrid cars became popular in the 2000s when petrol prices went up and the prices of hybrid cars went d 62 .

An all-electric car uses no petrol. The problem, however, is that car batteries (电池) need to be recharged (再充电). That makes electric cars not so useful for long j 63 .

Many people are not p 64 with it. The government and car makers are w 65 together to develop safe, cheap, and useful electric cars. When people have these cars in the future, a petrol station may be a thing of the past.

The villagers in Mhangeni, Africa faced a very big challenge(挑战). They didn’t have a school for their kids.

Then the village elder thought of an i 56 . He said that there was an old, abandoned (废弃的)farmhouse. It could be changed into classrooms after cleaning and furnishing(装设备)it. All the villagers were p 57 with his suggestion and started the project immediately

The parents repaired the broken walls. Some villagers d 58 the house into three classrooms by using pieces of wood. The others helped make desks and chairs for the students. Still, there was much more work to do. But the rains were coming. They had to s 59 working for the school as it was now the best time for them to plant.

So the children of Mhangeni decided to finish the house by t 60 .They had to hurry as summer had ended and other schools had already opened. They didn’t want to delay(耽搁) their studies. Every day they were busy with cutting the grass and clearing the bushes(灌木).

The news about the project s 61 and many people knew it. Two teachers who worked for the country’s Department of Education arrived to help out. and two foreign visitors were also touched (感动) by the children’s a 62 .They donated money for them to buy textbooks and stationery.

After 10 days of hard work, the new school was r 63 .The kids were very happy but a bit worried—they were behind in their studies.

However, the children are happy to study in school—e 65 in their new school which they helped to build. Though their school might not be modern, their dream of having a school near their homes has come true.

How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a cell phone can help us. However many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different w 56 of telling the time.

About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians i 57 the sun clock. This was a tall stone structure. Its shadow (影子)showed the movement of the s 58 they were able to determine（测定）midday.

About 3,500 years ago,the Egyptians made a sundial. It was smaller than the sun clock and could measure (测量)the time for half a day. On c 59 days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial.

Water clocks were the f 60 clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows（流动） from one container（容器）to another. When the water reaches a certain l 61 it moves a lever (控制杆)and this shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China but they f 62

o keep accurate（精确的）time.

In the 13th century. the mechanical clock was invented. This was more accurate, b 63 was expensive to make. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs(发条)were added around 1500. This i 64 accuracy and allowed clocks to be smaller.

In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build and own. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, markets and so on.

More recently, in1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites（人造卫星）send our cell phones the time to the exact second. There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping but some things never c 65 . Man of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not missing appointments.

Lan Lan, a student of Grade Seven in Lushan, was taking a drawing class in a tent on April 23. Guess what she drew—a house with wings. When the teacher asked why she did so, Lan said if her house could f 61 , it wouldn’t fall down in an earthquake.

Lan’s hometown was hit by a s 62 earthquake on April 20. At least 196 people were killed and more than 11,000 were injured. Many people became homeless. Soldiers and doctors q 63 arrived in the area, saving people and rebuilding homes. Lots of money was sent there to help all those in need.

Although we can’t prevent (阻止) an earthquake from happening, we can use some methods to r 64 harm. During an earthquake, do not jump out of high buildings because it is very d 65 . Another method is to cover your head and neck u 66 a strong table or desk. If there is no shelter (躲避处) nearby, you can also stay by a wall, and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands. And then you must keep calm and stay there u 67 the shaking stops.

Japan is a c 68 which lies on the earthquake belt (地震带) and it is very good at dealing with earthquakes. From a very young age, the Japanese are already taught how to survive (幸存) them. Students often receive earthquake training. Almost in every Japanese family you can find a survival kit (救生装备) with a flash-light, a radio, water and enough food for several days. This helps people to stay a 69 after an earthquake.

“There should be more safety t 70 at schools in our country,” said Xu Jiannong, an education expert in Beijing. There is no more truth than this when one’s life is the most important of all.
