【分析】
这是一篇首字母提示型短文填空题,解题第一步先通读全文,明确文章核心主题是作者介绍自己喜爱游泳的多个原因,理清整体行文逻辑。之后逐空结合上下文语义、初中阶段常见固定搭配、给出的首字母提示推导答案,同时要兼顾词性、时态、比较级等语法规则,遇到暂时不确定的空可以先跳过,结合前后文的线索反向推导,最后把所有答案代入全文通读,验证整体语义是否通顺连贯。
【解析】
1. 空后出现介词in,对应固定搭配be interested in,意为“对……感兴趣”,完全符合“我五岁时对游泳产生兴趣”的语境,首字母为i,因此填interested。
2. 前文提到作者分享自己喜爱游泳的诸多原因,目的是有可能让你也喜欢上游泳,符合make sb. do sth.的结构要求,首字母为l,like/love都符合语义,因此填like/love。
3. 空处和形容词happy并列作表语,用来描述人游泳时的感受,结合首字母e,excited(兴奋的)符合语境,因此填excited。
4. 空后搭配into the pool,对应固定表达jump into the pool,意为“跳进泳池”,全文为一般现在时,主语是I,动词用原形,首字母为j,因此填jump。
5. 此处对应固定结构push oneself to do sth.,意为“鞭策自己做某事”,符合“鞭策自己接受在终点线打败他人的挑战”的语境,首字母为y,因此填yourself。
6. 空后出现than表示比较级标志,结合语境游泳比其他运动有更多的姿势风格,用比较级more修饰可数名词复数styles,首字母为m,因此填more。
7. 此处是列举和jogging(慢跑)并列的常见运动项目,首字母为r,running(跑步)符合要求,因此填running。
8. 后文提到炎热天气跳进水里的体验,对应季节是夏天,固定短语in summer意为“在夏天”,首字母为s,因此填summer。
9. 语境表达“在炎热的日子里没有什么比跳进水里更舒服的事了”,hot修饰名词day,首字母为d,因此填day。
10. 对应固定搭配be good for your health,意为“对你的健康有好处”,首字母为g,因此填good。
【答案】
1. interested 2. like/love 3. excited 4. jump 5. yourself 6. more 7. running 8. summer 9. day 10. good
【知识点】
首字母短文填空,固定搭配,形容词比较级
【点评】
本题属于初中英语基础类的首字母填空题型,考点大多围绕课标要求的核心固定搭配和基础语法点,整体话题贴近学生日常运动生活,没有设置偏难怪的考点。解题时要注意不能脱离全文语境只看单句推导答案,做完后要代入全文通读验证语义连贯性,同时注意动词形式、词性转换这类容易失分的细节。
