本文介紹了生活在非洲的mhangeni的村民。他們面臨著一個巨大的挑戰(zhàn)，他們沒有為孩子們提供學(xué)校。村長說可以把一座廢棄的舊農(nóng)舍用作教室。所有村民都很滿意，立即開始了這項(xiàng)工程。由于雨季的到來，村民們不得不停下來去種植。孩子們決定自己接著修建教室。這個消息不脛而走。兩位教師前來幫助。兩位外國游客也被孩子們的行為所感動。經(jīng)過10天的努力，新學(xué)校已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好了。但是他們還面臨許多困難：沒有足夠的教室容納所有的學(xué)生。兩到三個學(xué)生不得不共用一本書。雖然這樣，但是孩子們還是很高興的，因?yàn)樗麄冊谧约盒藿ǖ膶W(xué)校里讀書。

【4】句意：他們不得不停止為學(xué)校工作，因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在是他們種植的最佳時機(jī)。根據(jù)But the rains were coming. 和as it was now the best time for them to plant.可知，由于雨季的到來，這是人們種植的最好時節(jié)，因此應(yīng)該是停止建學(xué)校。再結(jié)合首字母提示可知，填：stop。had to是情態(tài)動詞，后跟動詞原形。故答案為：stop。

【5】句意：于是，mhangeni的孩子們決定自己建成這座房子。do sth. by oneself，oneself用在動詞后面，可以強(qiáng)調(diào)主語，表示“某人自己”，和by oneself是一個意思，即表示“靠某人自己”的意思。因此本題應(yīng)該填反身代詞，再結(jié)合首字母提示和主語the children of Mhangeni可知，填：they 的反身代詞themselves。故答案為：themselves。

【8】句意：經(jīng)過10天的努力，新學(xué)校已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好了。根據(jù)After 10 days of hard work, 經(jīng)過10天的努力�？芍�，新學(xué)校應(yīng)該是準(zhǔn)備好了。再結(jié)合首字母提示可知，填：ready。be ready：準(zhǔn)備就緒。所以答案為：ready。

英語首字母填空技巧

1. 通讀短文知大意，看整體全面了解來源：

　　與閱讀理解題和其它類型的完形填空一樣，首先要通讀短文，了解文章的大意。每篇短文段落之間必然承上啟下、前呼后應(yīng)。因此通讀全文時要一氣呵成，只要能了解短文的大意即可，細(xì)節(jié)不理解可以跳過。因此，在解題之前通讀一遍短文，目的是對文章有個全面的了解，弄清其中心思想和大意。

2. 復(fù)讀短文抓信息，前后照應(yīng)巧猜詞

　　在了解文章大意的前提之下再次通讀短文，目的是對短文有更進(jìn)一步的了解。在閱讀時要特別注意一篇文章的開頭（一般不設(shè)空）和結(jié)尾，它們能提供主要的信息，幫助了解全文所描述的事件或文章的中心思想。在閱讀過程中，要注意上、下文的關(guān)系，這對于把握文章的整體意義大有用處。另外，要學(xué)會跳讀，即對不理解的地方采用暫時回避的方式，待真正理解全文之后再找解決的方法。有些短文填空題，有時出現(xiàn)約 3%~5% 的生詞是很正常的，這就要求學(xué)生根據(jù)構(gòu)詞知識或上、下文的意思加以猜測，來確定它的詞義。

3. 反復(fù)推敲多分析，慎重答題講合理

　　再次通讀短文，對留空的句子進(jìn)行全面的分析，看它在全文中所處的位置、作用和意義。這一遍閱讀要求是精心閱讀，要留心找出關(guān)鍵詞、短語或句子，還要結(jié)合所給首字母的提示，進(jìn)行填寫，并注意單詞的正確形式。例如：第3小題，句意：一些村民用木頭把房子分成三個教室。根據(jù)Some villagers d____3____the house into three classrooms by using pieces of wood. 一些村民用木頭把房子_______ 三個教室�？芍�，應(yīng)該是把房子分成三個教室，再結(jié)合首字母提示可知，填：divide。本文敘述過去發(fā)生的事情，因此用一般過去時，divide的過去式為divided。所以答案為：divided。

4. 認(rèn)真復(fù)查全文，把握整體和詞形來源：

做完以后，再認(rèn)真讀一遍，檢查所填寫的單詞是否與文章要求相符，文章是否通順，前后是否呼應(yīng)，有無句型結(jié)構(gòu)及語法錯誤。
