七、阅读短文,根据语篇要求填空,使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词。
Kate is amiddle school student. She has a sister and a brother. They are Sally and Jim. Kate can sing and play 1. violin well, but Sally can't. Sally doesn't like any musical instruments. She likes chess, 2. she doesn't play chess with Kate. She often plays it with Jim 3. Jim plays it very well. Jim can also play basketball. And he is good 4. playing it. He is in the school basketball club. Kate, Sally and Jim like dogs best. They have 5. pet dog at home. They all like walking the dog after dinner.

1. the
2. but
3. because
4. at
5. a

1. “play the violin” 是固定搭配，表示拉小提琴，所以此处填 “the”。
2. 前句说Sally喜欢国际象棋，后句说她不和Kate下棋，前后是转折关系，故填 “but”。
3. “She often plays it with Jim” 和 “Jim plays it very well” 之间是因果关系，用 “because” 连接，解释和Jim下棋的原因，所以填 “because”。
4. “be good at” 是固定短语，意为 “擅长”，故此处填 “at”。
5. 这里表示他们有一只宠物狗，“pet dog” 是单数，且 “pet” 以辅音音素开头，用 “a” 表示一个。所以填 “a”。
