For many years the United States and the other countries used gold and silver as money.

Paper money was used to stand for the holdings(储备)of both gold and silver. The value of

silver was limited to that of gold. Fifteen ounces(盎司)of silver had the same value of one

ounce of gold.

These values did not change until after 1860 when mines(银矿)in the west of the United States

began to 80 large amounts of silver. This extra amount of silver caused the price of silver to 81 . Then fifteen ounces of silver would no longer buy one ounce of gold. In 1871 Germany declared(宣布)that it would not support its paper money with silver any more. Instead, it would use only gold. Other countries of Europe quickly 82the same. The United States passed a law in 1973 that prevented the government from using silver as money. Western silver producers protested(抗议)loudly and put much pressure on the 83 makers. Five years later a new law was 84. It said that the government must buy four and half million ounces of silver

each month. The new law increased the amount of silver money. The country had two kinds of

quite different views on the issue(发行)silver money. Businessmen, bankers and other rich

men wanted to 85the use of silver money because it made the dollar less valuable. But

farmers, labourers and the others who owned the money not only wanted silver money but also

wanted an unlimited supply of it.

What was napkin etiquette （礼仪）? Etiquette 80 rules that society has set up for people to follow so that they can do things in the proper way. Napkin （餐巾）etiquette has developed over time.

According to proper etiquette today, one should put one‘s napkin on one‘s lap （膝盖）as soon as everyone is seated at the table. When one excuse oneself and leaves the table for a few minutes, one should leave one‘s napkin on one‘s chair. When one is finished with one‘s meal and is leaving the table, one should 81 one‘s napkin to the right of one‘s plate.

What was napkin etiquette like before it developed into what it is today? In ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman times, the etiquette was quite different. Napkins were much 82. Often, they were as large as bath towels. Banquets （宴会）usually lasted for hours, and people ate with their hands. Although finger bowls filled with 83 would sometimes be available, the large napkins were necessary if one wanted to stay reasonably clean.

A second use for the napkin developed in the sixth century B.C. Roman society. At that

time, 84 were expected to take food home. The uneaten food was wrapped up and carried in

one‘s napkin. It was considered not polite to leave empty-handed.

Napkin size changed 85 with an invention. The invention that caused this size change

was the fork. Since people began to use forks, their hands no longer get as dirty as before. Although napkins became smaller in size, many Europeans did not use them. The custom was to wipe one‘s hands on the tablecloth. At that time, tablecloths were so large that one could use a part of it to cover one‘s lap. Covering one‘s lap with the tablecloth served two purposes （目的）. One could wipe one‘s hands on it, and one could protect his lap from getting dirty.

Ten years later, I can remember my time in seventh grade like yesterday. The thing I remember most about is my English teacher, Mr. Mabry. He was, by far, the best teacher in the world. First of all, he

didn't use80 method of teaching. Instead, he used his theater background to make learning

English grammar fun for the whole class. When we studied Shakespeare, we 81 acted out the

parts, so that we really had a good understanding of Shakespeare's works.

He also did many other thing s for us. He encouraged his students to ask questions about anything and everything and then, he would82 to give us an honest answer. He taught us how to trust one another by playing games with us. He would make one person83 backward while another person stood behind and caught him. As well, he used to let us have parties every week at school. If we wanted to have a party, he would give us our homework for the day of the party and we would do it at home. Then he would check our work and we would be 84 to have a party if everyone had done the homework and understood it.

Some of the kids in the school had problems at home. Mr. Mabry acted as a parent for these children. He 85 them patiently and listened to their complaint. He encouraged them to do things that they really liked. Being the best teacher in the world is the greatest honour for any teacher, and Mr. Mabry certainly deserves it.

上海市中考英语首字母填空练习 附详解

上海市中考英语首字母填空练习 首字母填空类短文题是近几年各省、市中考题经常采用的题型之一，这种题难度相对较大，考生失分现象很严重。 主观型首字母填空也称为限制型完形填空。它的特点是将一篇文章中若干个词“掏空”，留下该词的首字母，它既作为提示又作为限制，让我们根据短文的意思把单词拼写完整，使文章连贯。学生们在通读全文、掌握大意的前提下，采用先易后难，再逐项填空的应试策略。做题时要通过字里行间来捕捉信息，既要理清逻辑，又要综合考虑，最后通过复读全文来消除疏漏。给首字母填空类短文的阅读题属于能力测试的范畴，它考查的范围极广，可以是英语知识的方方面面，还可能涉及其它学科。它要求考生在充分理解短文的基础上将单词拼写出来，并且单词形式合理，符合语法规范，符合短文需要。下面就讲一讲做这类题的方法与技巧： 1. 通读短文知大意，看整体全面了解 与阅读理解题和其它类型的完形填空一样，首先要通读短文，了解文章的大意。每篇短文段落之间必然承上启下、前呼后应。因此通读全文时要一气呵成，只要能了解短文的大意即可，细节不理解可以跳过。因此，在解题之前通读一遍短文，目的是对文章有个全面的了解，弄清其中心思想和大意。 2. 复读短文抓信息，前后照应巧猜词 在了解文章大意的前提之下再次通读短文，目的是对短文有更进一步的了解。在阅读时要特别注意一篇文章的开头（一般不设空）和结尾，它们能提供主要的信息，帮助了解全文所描述的事件或文章的中心思想。在阅读过程中，要注意上、下文的关系，这对于把握文章的整体意义大有用处。另外，要学会跳读，即对不理解的地方采用暂时回避的方式，待真正理解全文之后再找解决的方法。有些短文填空题，有时出现约3%~5% 的生词是很正常的，这就要求学生根据构词知识或上、下文的意思加以猜测，来确定它的词义。 3. 反复推敲多分析，慎重答题讲技巧 再次通读短文，对留空的句子进行全面的分析，看它在全文中所处的位置、作用和意义。这一遍阅读要求是精心阅读，要留心找出关键词、短语或句子，还要结合所给首字母的提示，进行填写，并注意单词的正确形式。 4. 认真复查全文，把握整体和词形 做完以后，再认真读一遍，检查所填写的单词是否与文章要求相符，文章是否通顺，前后是否呼应，有无句型结构及语法错误。从实际中看，很多学生能够充分利用词首字母和短文内容填写单词，但是，问题往往出现在单词的形式变化上。比如填q ，要求填写quickly ，而多数考生只知道填写quick ，忽略了词性问题。因此，深思熟虑很重要。 通过以上对首字母填空类型题的讲解，同学们一定对这类题型有了更多的了解，掌握了此类题的考点和做题的技巧后，给同学们准备了以下的练习题，请同学们及时巩固学习内容。
