【分析】本题为用所给单词适当形式填空的基础题，需结合句子结构、固定搭配、时态要求及词形变化规则解题。具体思路：先分析每个句子的结构特点，再依据固定搭配、时间状语判断动词时态，最后转换单词词性以符合句子成分需求。
【解析】1. 固定句型“It's + adj + for sb to do sth”中，it为形式主语，真正主语是后面的不定式，故填to get；2. “the way to do sth”是固定搭配，意为“做某事的方法”，故填to make；3. 时间状语“when he was young”表过去，句子用一般过去时，prefer的过去式为preferred；4. different后接可数名词复数，express的名词形式是expression，复数为expressions；5. be动词are后需接形容词作表语，help的形容词是helpful。
【答案】1. to get 2. to make 3. preferred 4. expressions 5. helpful
【知识点】动词不定式、一般过去时、词形转换
【点评】本题考查初中英语核心基础知识点，涵盖固定搭配、时态、词形变化，难度较低，学生掌握基础语法规则即可轻松作答。

四、阅读理解。
阅读短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出一个与短文内容相符的最佳选项。
(2025－2026·武汉市东湖技术开发区期末)One day, Tom's friend Daisy came to him for help. Instead of looking at the phone, he put it down, turned to face her and looked her in the eyes. He nodded from time to time to show he was following along, and asked questions like “How did that make you feel?” to show he was fully into the talk. Tom was called an active listener. Active listening isn't just hearing words—it is a superpower that makes conversations more meaningful.
However, in today's world, people often forget that listening is just as important as talking. With busy schedules, it's easy to get distracted(分心的). But active listening helps in two big ways. First, it helps avoid mistakes. If a classmate explains a group project task, active listening makes you know what to do. Second, it helps build real trust. People feel valued when they are truly heard, which helps build up friendships and improves teamwork.
To practise active listening, follow some easy steps. Let others finish speaking, and don't cut in. Repeat key points to make sure you have understood. Focus on listening instead of planning your reply, and save your thoughts for later!
Next time you talk to family, friends or teachers, try listening with your full attention. When you truly focus on understanding rather than just hearing, you'll find that the quiet power of listening can build connections stronger than a thousand emojis(表情符号). Ready to become someone people love talking to? Your superpower starts when you choose to listen—truly listen—today.
