首字母填空
本文主要讲述了作者加入学校音乐俱乐部，从觉得困难想要放弃到逐渐融入，收获成长与快乐的经历。
1. shows 那儿的学生们经常唱歌，有时还会举办一些音乐表演。hold music shows 意为“举办音乐表演”，some 后面要接可数名词复数。
2. well 句意：我想加入，因为我也喜欢唱歌。as well 意为“也，同样地”，通常用于句尾。
3. have 根据句意可知，此处用固定短语 have to，意思为“必须，不得不”，句子的主语 We 是第一人称，故填 have。
4. different 根据前文中“But the first practice isn't so easy.”“Maybe I should just go home and stop coming.”和后文“At the break, some members sit with me and tell stories ... feel welcome in the group.”可知，第一次练习不容易，作者想放弃，但休息时有人和作者讲故事，老师也鼓励作者，由此可知，情况变得不一样了。
5. spend 根据前句中 tell stories 以及句意理解可知，作者和成员们在一起度过了那段快乐的时光。主语是 We，其后谓语动词需要用动词原形。
6. really 句意：第一次，我在这个群体中感到真正受欢迎。
7. team 句意：我学会了倾听他人（意见），并且能够团队协作。work as a team 意为“团队协作”。
8. Wednesday 根据空格后的 Friday 可知，此处填 Wednesday。
9. hello 根据 before singing 可知，作者可以在站在舞台上唱歌之前跟同学们打招呼。say hello to sb. 意为“跟某人打招呼”。
10. hope 句意：我希望能待在这个俱乐部里并从我们唱的每一首歌里学到更多。此处用动词 hope，意为“希望”，其后接宾语从句。

语法填空
本文主要介绍了扬州一所学校里面的特殊俱乐部——通草花纸艺工作坊，还详细描述了制作通草花的步骤，以及两名学生在制作过程中的感受和体会。
1. thousands 根据句意可知，师生们制作了数千朵精美的通草花。thousands of 意为“成千上万的”。
2. of 花儿填满了一个大型展览空间。be full of 意为“充满，填满”。
3. Making 制作这些花朵需要经过许多步骤。句中已有谓语动词 takes，此处需要用动名词作主语，句子首字母需要大写。
4. them 根据句意可知，他们将湿纸塑造成花瓣状，再将它们组合起来，就像一朵真花一样。put 是动词，后面接人称代词应用宾格形式，因此用 them。
5. is 花瓣的塑形是最难的部分。动名词短语作主语，谓语动词用单数，且时态为一般现在时，故填 is。
6. so 根据上下文可知，通草纸干得特别快，任代洋需要在 10 秒内把它塑形，上下文是因果关系，故填 so。
7. a 句意：我花费两个多小时制作一朵通草花。flower为可数名词，此处表泛指，tongcao 以辅音音素开头，故填 a。
8. teaches 句意：它教会我耐心。本句的主语是 It，其后谓语动词需要用第三人称单数。
9. to shape 句意：通草纸柔软洁白，易于塑形。"It's +形容词+ to do sth."意为“做某事是……”。
10. more 根据句意可知，扬州通草花制作技巧有 300 多年的历史了。more than 意为“多于”。
