【分析】
做这类综合填空题，首先第一步要通读全文，理清文章主旨是讲述四位冬泳爱好者横渡英吉利海峡的故事，明确全文核心时态为一般过去时。之后分两类处理空格：有提示词的空格优先判断所需词性、时态、单复数变化；无提示词的空格结合上下文逻辑，判断需要填写的介词、冠词、转折连词等虚词，最后把答案代入全文通读验证语法和逻辑是否通顺。
【解析】
1. 空格前主语是四位冬泳相关的人物，句意表示他们是冬泳爱好者，提示词love对应的表示“爱好者”的名词是lover，四个人需要用复数形式，故填lovers。
2. 此处是固定搭配choose to do sth，意为“选择做某事”，提示词swim要变为不定式形式，故填to swim。
3. 句意为在整个行程期间，每位队员至少游一小时再轮换，表达“在……期间”的介词是during，放在句首首字母需要大写，故填During。
4. 全文叙述2023年发生的过往事件，时态为一般过去时，提示词reach的过去式是reached，故填reached。
5. 前文提到行程大部分都很顺利，后文说最后6公里是对耐力的巨大考验，前后是转折关系，且空格后有逗号隔开，故填however表示“然而”。
6. 全文为一般过去时，提示词make的过去式是made，故填made。
7. 此处需要副词修饰动词succeeded“成功”，提示词final的副词形式是finally，故填finally。
8. 此处特指“横渡英吉利海峡”这个想法，表特指需要用定冠词the，故填the。
9. 空格前是形容词性物主代词their，后面需要接名词，提示词train对应的名词training表示“训练”，符合句意，故填training。
10. 空格后是名词water temperature，需要用形容词性物主代词修饰，提示词it对应的物主代词是its，故填its。
【答案】
1. lovers 2. to swim 3. During 4. reached 5. however 6. made 7. finally 8. the 9. training 10. its
【知识点】
词性转换；动词固定搭配；虚词用法
【点评】
本题是记叙文类综合填空，考点覆盖初中英语核心语法点，既考查了时态变形、词性转换等基础语法，也需要学生结合上下文逻辑判断转折连词、介词的使用，整体难度适中，能有效检验学生的语篇理解能力和语法综合应用能力。

三、任务型阅读
In the past, the break time between classes was 10 minutes. But now it's 15 minutes. This change catches the attention of students, parents, and teachers, each with their own ideas.
For students, the extended (延长的) break is like a breath of fresh air. They now have more time to relax and do things they are interested in. Some play games with friends, which helps them feel less worried. Others take a short walk, getting some exercise. However, some students worry that they might get too distracted (分心) during the longer break and it's hard for them to focus in the next class.
Parents generally support the change. Their children can have a better balance between study and rest, which is good for their health. Besides, longer breaks are helpful to make students' social skills better as they have more time to interact (互动) with classmates. But some parents also care about safety problems during the longer breaks.
The teachers can have casual chats during this longer time. So they think it's a good chance to build a better relationship with children. However, they also need to make teaching plans wisely enough to make sure the longer breaks make no difference to lessons.
All in all, the 15-minute break has both advantages and challenges. With right guidance, it can bring more good to everyone.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了课间休息时间从 10 分钟延长到 15 分钟后，学生、家长和老师的不同看法及这一变化带来的利弊。
1. from 2. ideas/views 3. interesting 4. taking 5. problems/trouble 6. able 7. help 8. safe 9. because 10. wise

【分析】
这道题是表格型任务型阅读，解题可以按三步推进：1. 先通读全文，明确文章核心是介绍课间休息从10分钟延长到15分钟后，学生、家长、老师三方的不同态度；2. 对照表格的句式结构，逐空定位到原文对应的内容，先确定空格所需的词义，再结合空格前后的搭配、词性要求完成变形；3. 最后检查所有空格的语法是否通顺、和原文表意是否一致。
逐个空推导逻辑：
1空：空格后是10 to 15 minutes，对应原文“过去课间10分钟，现在延长到15分钟”，符合from...to...的固定搭配，表范围从10到15。
2空：这一栏的内容分别是学生、家长、老师的不同态度，对应原文第一段最后“students, parents, and teachers, each with their own ideas”，所以这里填表示“观点、想法”的名词。
3空：空格修饰something，对应原文“do things they are interested in”，转换为形容词interesting作后置定语，表“有趣的事”。
4空：空格和前面的playing games并列，对应原文“take a short walk”，并列结构要统一用动名词形式。
5空：对应原文“it's hard for them to focus in the next class”，套用固定搭配have trouble/problems doing sth，表做某事有困难。
6空：对应原文“Their children can have a better balance”，转换为固定结构be able to，表“能够”。
7空：对应原文“longer breaks are helpful to make students' social skills better”，转换为动词作谓语，help to do sth表“有助于”。
8空：对应原文“some parents also care about safety problems”，转换为形容词作表语，表“安全的”。
9空：空格前后是因果逻辑，前半句说长课间利于构建更好的师生关系，后半句解释原因是师生可以在此期间随意聊天，所以填表原因的连词。
10空：对应原文“make teaching plans wisely”，转换为形容词作表语，be wise with sth表“对某事安排明智”。
【解析】
1. 固定搭配from...to...表示“从……到……”，句意为“如今很多学校把课间休息时间从10分钟延长到15分钟”，填from。
2. 后文分别罗列了学生、家长、老师三方的不同看法/观点，对应原文“each with their own ideas”，填ideas/views均可。
3. 原文提到学生可以做自己感兴趣的事，修饰不定代词something用形容词interesting后置，表“有趣的事”，填interesting。
4. 并列结构中or前后形式要统一，前面playing games是动名词，对应原文take a short walk，要变为动名词taking，填taking。
5. 固定搭配have problems/trouble (in) doing sth表示“做某事有困难”，对应原文“很难在下一节课集中注意力”，填problems/trouble。
6. 固定结构be able to表示“能够”，对应原文“孩子们可以在学习和休息之间实现更好的平衡”，填able。
7. 句中缺少谓语动词，help to do sth表示“有助于做某事”，对应原文“更长的课间有助于提升学生的社交技能”，填help。
8. 家长关心长课间的安全问题，也就是在意学生是否能保持安全，be动词后接形容词safe作表语，填safe。
9. 后半句是前半句“长课间利于构建更好的关系”的原因，填表因果的连词because，填because。
10. 原文提到老师需要明智地制定教学计划，be动词后接形容词wise作表语，be wise with sth表示“妥善明智地处理某事”，填wise。
【答案】
1. from 2. ideas/views 3. interesting 4. taking 5. problems/trouble 6. able 7. help 8. safe 9. because 10. wise
【知识点】
任务型阅读信息转换，固定搭配应用，词性转换
【点评】
本题属于中等难度的表格类任务型阅读，没有设置过于生僻的考点，大部分答案都需要结合原文信息做句式适配的变形，而非直接抄写原文内容，既考察学生对全文内容的梳理能力，也考察学生对常见固定搭配、并列结构、词性变化的掌握程度，易错点集中在第4空的动名词变形、第5空的固定搭配识记。
