Ⅵ. 首字母填空(每小题1分,共10分)
根据短文内容及首字母提示,在空格处填入一个适当的词使短文完整。
Many students complain about this: they try not to hurt others' feelings by telling white lies, but the result sometimes turns out to be quite the opposite. Telling white lies can lead to 1. t.
To stop one lie from being discovered, more lies are 2. c. That is why I think lying, even in its little-white-lie form, should not be done at all. I know it sounds like an 3. i thing to ask for, especially considering how often people lie, but it's something that we should all try to do.
A study shows that people would much rather tell a white lie to 4. a an embarrassing situation, whether it is telling someone that the dress looks "unique" or not telling the boss that something might be wrong. While you might think you are saving 5. y from an embarrassing situation, you might only be prolonging (延长) it or making it 6. w for the person you are lying to and for yourself later on.
I do understand 7. w people lie, and I admit I have told some white lies too. At that time, I find a lie is easier to say than the truth, and I might even think that it's better for the person not to know the whole truth. But most of the time it 8. t out not to be the case, and I just feel bad doing it—especially when the lie 9. w not only myself but also people who count on me to tell them the truth.
Lying is a bad 10. h. Stopping telling lies is something that needs to be worked on and can only be done if you really want it. For me, a person's reaction(反应) from when they find out I've lied to them is what stops me in the first place.

Ⅵ.【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出撒谎会导致复杂的后果,即使是善意的谎言也不应该说。
1. trouble 解析:根据"they try not to hurt others' feelings by telling white lies, but the result sometimes turns out to be quite the opposite"以及首字母 t 可知,说善意的谎言会导致麻烦,lead to trouble 为固定搭配,意为"导致麻烦"。
2. created 解析:根据"To stop one lie from being discovered"以及首字母 c 可知,为了不让谎言被发现,更多的谎言被编造出来,此处用被动语态,故填 created。
3. impossible 解析:根据"especially considering how often people lie"以及首字母 i 可知,要求完全不说谎听起来是一件不可能的事,故填 impossible。
4. avoid 解析:根据"people would much rather tell a white lie"以及"an embarrassing situation"和首字母 a 可知,人们说善意的谎言是为了避免尴尬的情况,故填 avoid。
5. yourself 解析:根据"saving ... from an embarrassing situation"以及首字母 y 可知,你可能认为自己在拯救你自己脱离尴尬处境,故填 yourself。
6. worse 解析:根据"prolonging it or making it ..."以及首字母 w 可知,撒谎只会让情况变得更糟,make it worse 意为"使情况更糟"。
7. why 解析:根据"I do understand ... people lie"以及首字母w 可知,作者明白人们为什么说谎,故填 why。
8. turns 解析:根据"most of the time it ... out not to be the case"以及首字母 t 可知,大多数时候结果并非如此,turn out 为固定短语,意为"结果是",主语 it 为第三人称单数,故填 turns。
9. worries 解析:根据"the lie ... not only myself but also people who count on me"以及首字母 w 可知,谎言不仅使自己担忧,还让信任自己的人担忧,主语 lie 为单数,故填worries。
10. habit 解析:根据"Lying is a bad ..."以及首字母 h 可知,说谎是一个坏习惯,故填 habit。

【分析】
做这类首字母填空题目，首先第一步要先通读全文，理清文章核心主旨：本文围绕善意的谎言的弊端展开，提出哪怕是善意的谎言也不该说的观点。接下来逐空分析时，要同时结合三个线索：上下文的语义逻辑、空格前后的固定搭配要求、给出的首字母提示，还要额外注意词性变化规则，比如被动语态的过去分词、第三人称单数、比较级、反身代词这类变形，最后填完所有词后再通读全文验证语句是否通顺、逻辑是否自洽。
【解析】
1. 前文提到说善意的谎言本不想伤害别人，但结果往往适得其反，结合固定搭配lead to后接名词，首字母t，可知此处表达“导致麻烦”，填trouble。
2. 句意为“为了不让一个谎言被揭穿，更多的谎言被编造出来”，此处是被动语态结构“be+过去分词”，首字母c，create表示“编造、创造”，过去分词形式为created。
3. 后文提到“尤其考虑到人们说谎的频率有多高”，说明要求完全不说谎听起来是很难实现的事，首字母i，填形容词impossible表示“不可能的”。
4. 句意为“研究表明人们更愿意说善意的谎言来避免尴尬的场景”，此处是不定式结构表目的，to后接动词原形，首字母a，填avoid表示“避免”。
5. 固定搭配save sb. from sth.表示“让某人免于某事”，句意为“你可能以为你在让你自己免于尴尬的处境”，首字母y，填反身代词yourself。
6. 前文提到“你可能只是在延长尴尬”，递进逻辑说明会让情况变得更糟，固定搭配make it worse表示“让情况更糟”，用形容词比较级，首字母w，填worse。
7. 句意为“我确实理解人们为什么要说谎”，此处是宾语从句引导词，表原因，首字母w，填why。
8. 固定短语turn out表示“结果是、证明是”，主语it是第三人称单数，句子是一般现在时，谓语动词要变形，首字母t，填turns。
9. 句意为“尤其是当这个谎言不仅让我自己担忧，还让那些指望我说出真相的人担忧的时候”，主语the lie是第三人称单数，句子是一般现在时，首字母w，填worries。
10. 句意为“说谎是一个不好的习惯”，不定冠词a后接可数名词单数，首字母h，填habit。
【答案】
1. trouble
2. created
3. impossible
4. avoid
5. yourself
6. worse
7. why
8. turns
9. worries
10. habit

【点评】
这是一篇典型的初中议论文类首字母填空题，考点覆盖了名词、被动语态、形容词、反身代词、形容词比较级、宾语从句引导词、动词第三人称单数变形等多个考点，既需要学生准确把握全文语义逻辑，也要求学生能熟练运用基础语法规则，易错点集中在被动语态、三单形式这类词形变化上，不少学生容易忽略变形直接填动词原形导致丢分。

Ⅶ.阅读与回答问题(每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,回答下列问题。
思维品质 辩证思维(2024·山西中考改编)
If you have a chance to learn by yourself, what might you do? Perhaps you choose to practise football skills; you would prefer to discuss something together; and you might just read. This is the most important thing of "unschooling". It is also known as "natural learning" or "independent learning". It is an educational practice that allows children to decide how, what and where they want to learn, while home schooling is the practice of educating children who learn at home with a parent or a tutor. And most of us receive education at school, which is called schooling.
For educational practice of unschooling, people think differently. Here are their comments.
Agree
Independent learning teaches children to be responsible for themselves. With no teacher around, children must manage themselves, and this is a really important skill for later life.
Unschooling allows children to learn what they are really interested in. If learning is enjoyable, it's more successful.
Very young children learn in a natural way. Without being taught, they know colours and voices, they learn to smile and walk. Why shouldn't people continue to learn like this?
Unschooling gives children more time for sports, volunteering and museum or park visits. They may meet different people who share their interests.
Disagree
Unschooling requires parents' support and attention. They need to create a learning space that excites children and reminds them of their daily routines.
Teachers can push children to learn what they don't enjoy but can be important later in life.
Unschooling sounds too good to be true. It can be helpful when children are very young. But it puts too much pressure on children because they can only learn difficult subjects easily with teachers' help.
Unschooling happens at home, so children could have less contact with others at their age. This means they could end up becoming shy.
When deciding how you are going to learn, it's necessary to think about what works. Choose what is suitable for you and what can have a positive influence on your growth.
1. What is the most important thing of unschooling?

2. How can children become more successful in learning?
