1. standards 2. remain 3. solution 4. mad 5. behaves 6. purpose 7. repeat 8. normal

本题结合句意、固定搭配和首字母提示填写合适的单词：
1. 句意为“为了达到严格领导的标准，她熬夜完成了工作”，固定搭配meet the standards of 表示“达到……的标准”，对应首字母s，填standards。
2. 句意为“我们在不同的城市，但我们仍然是朋友”，remain表示“保持、仍然是”，主语为we，一般现在时用动词原形，对应首字母r，填remain。
3. 句意为“别担心，我确信你会找到这个问题的解决办法”，固定搭配the solution to the problem表示“问题的解决方法”，对应首字母s，填solution。
4. 句意为“如果我妈妈知道我玩游戏太久，她会生气的”，固定搭配get mad表示“生气”，对应首字母m，填mad。
5. 句意为“玛丽是个好学生，她在课堂上总是表现很好，我们应该向她学习”，behave well表示“表现良好”，主语she是第三人称单数，一般现在时谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，对应首字母b，填behaves。
6. 句意为“这个活动的目的是保护环境”，the purpose of...表示“……的目的”，对应首字母p，填purpose。
7. 句意为“你能重复一下你的电话号码吗？我几乎没听清”，would you please后接动词原形，repeat表示“重复”，对应首字母r，填repeat。
8. 句意为“当你学习写字的时候犯一些错误是很正常的，所以别担心”，固定句型It's normal to do sth.表示“做某事是正常的”，对应首字母n，填normal。

二、用until、so that、although或if 填空。
1. You will never truly understand your parents' great love you grow up.
2. Technology can be of great help we make an effort to control it and use it right.
3. I'll find a way to improve on my own I can make the team next year.
4. I failed a lot more times than I succeeded, I believe I can make it.
5. Every weekend, Bob plays computer games midnight.

1. until
2. if
3. so that
4. Although
5. until

先明确四个词的含义与用法：until意为“直到……”，引导时间状语从句，常和否定词搭配表示“直到……才”；so that意为“为了、以便”，引导目的状语从句；although意为“虽然、尽管”，引导让步状语从句；if意为“如果”，引导条件状语从句。
1. 句中出现否定词never，构成never...until结构，表达“直到长大你才会真正理解父母深沉的爱”，符合语境。
2. 句子表达“如果我们努力管控并正确使用科技，它就能带来很大帮助”，前后是条件关系，用if。
3. 句子表达“我会自己找到提升的方法，目的是明年能入选队伍”，表目的，用so that。
4. 句子前后是让步关系：“虽然我失败的次数比成功的次数多得多，但我相信我能做到”，位于句首首字母需要大写，用Although。
5. 句子表达“每个周末鲍勃玩电脑游戏直到半夜”，表示动作延续到某个时间点，用until。

三、用括号内单词的适当形式填空。
1. It is (joy) to listen to music and take a cup of coffee on a rainy after-noon.
2. These children draw their pictures (different), but they are all nice.
3. Jason found it hard to stay (wake) in class after staying up late.
4. I am very (thank) because my friends support and help me a lot.
5. I don't think (somebody) can work out this problem.

1. joyful
2. differently
3. awake
4. thankful
5. anybody

1. 该句使用"It is + 形容词 + to do sth."的固定结构，be动词后需要形容词作表语，名词joy对应的形容词形式是joyful，意为“愉快的”，符合语境。
2. 此处需要副词来修饰动词draw，形容词different对应的副词形式是differently，意为“不同地”，用来修饰画画的动作。
3. 固定搭配stay awake表示“保持清醒”，动词wake对应的形容词形式是awake，符合熬夜后在课堂上难以保持清醒的语境。
4. be动词am后需要形容词作表语，动词thank对应的形容词形式是thankful，意为“感激的”，符合语境。
5. 该句为否定句，否定语境中不定代词somebody要变为anybody，表达“任何人”的含义，符合句子逻辑。

四、阅读理解。
A road is a bridge between two places.
The Silk Road has been a bridge between East and West for more than 2,000 years.
But did you know that the Silk Road is not a single route? It is actually a series of trade and cultural communication routes. It started to take shape during the Western Han Dynasty. The trade route started from the city of Xi'an in Shaanxi Province and ended in
eastern Europe, near today's Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea. The Silk Road was about 6,500 kilometers long. It went across one-fourth of the planet.
The Silk Road got its name because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road. In addition to silk, jade (玉), tea and iron also went west to Rome. From the West came glass, gems (宝石), and foods like carrots and sesame (芝麻).
The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. Besides trade, knowledge about science, arts and literature, as well as technology, was shared across the Silk Road. In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other.
Today, various historical sites along the Silk Road are popular travel destinations, such as the Terracotta Warrior in Xi'an and Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, Gansu.
A new train line, the New Orient Express, is running from Beijing across the Silk Road.
