Ⅱ.完形填空。
Tom worked hard in an office. But it seemed that there was little change in his life. He was unhappy and didn't want to improve himself anymore. His father, Joe, knew this and decided to have a with him.
One day, Tom and his father went for a walk after dinner. they were walking along a river, Tom said, "Dad, you always tell me to learn something new. To be honest, I don't want to make any ." Joe looked at the river, saw a dead and pointed at it.
"Tom, what is that over there?"
"It's a dead fish."
"What's the fish doing?"
"It's moving down with the running water."
"But the fish is dead. can it be moving?" asked Joe.
"It's moving as the river is moving."

1. talk 2. When/As 3. progress 4. fish 5. How

结合上下文语境、八年级所学固定搭配和语法知识点逐空推导：
1. 空1：固定短语have a talk with sb. 意为“和某人谈一谈”，前文提到Tom状态消极、不思进取，父亲得知后决定和他沟通谈心，填入talk符合语境。
2. 空2：此处需要引导时间状语从句，表达“当他们沿着河边散步的时候”，用When/As，符合主从句动作同时发生的用法，是八年级时间状语从句的基础考点。
3. 空3：前文提到Tom不愿意再提升自己，父亲一直叮嘱他学习新事物，此处表达“说实话，我不想取得任何进步”，固定搭配make progress意为“取得进步”，否定句中any可修饰不可数名词progress，完全贴合语境。
4. 空4：根据后文Tom的回答“It's a dead fish.”，可知父亲在河里看到了一条死鱼，填入fish前后内容对应。
5. 空5：此处父亲提出疑问“但是这条鱼已经死了，它怎么会在移动呢？”，是对移动的方式进行提问，填入How符合逻辑。
