In ancient times people had to free-dive to get food, such as fish and shellfish. Free divers also c___81___ treasures lying at the bottom of the ocean. The Mediterranean Sea, south of Europe, had many trading ships passing through. Often ships sank, sometimes because of storms. They would swim down to the shipwreck and try to lift the most precious pieces. In modern times, free-diving is part of many different a___82___ such as underwater photography and spearfishing. Sports such as underwater football, rugby and hockey also involve free-diving. The most dangerous free-diving is practised by a small group of extreme sportsmen and sportswomen who swim very deep. They aim to go to great depths and d___83___ for a long time on a single breath, wearing only a wetsuit. Deep under the water it is cold and black. The weight or pressure on your body is much h____84____ than that at the surface. That weight, and going so long on only one breath, can cause a person to become unconscious（无意识的）because of a lack of oxygen, and then die. Why do people want to take part in a sport that is so dangerous? You need to be fit to swim so deep, but you also need to be very strong mentally（精神上）. At first it is difficult to sink. You have to stay c___85___ and even slow your thinking. But finally the air is pushed from your body, and you start to sink. It is as if the water were d___86___ you down. This is a very peaceful feeling. Natalia wrote many poems about her love of being in the deep blue ocean. She felt at one with nature there, as if in an ancient space. She would go into a deep state of being quiet and thinking before she went into the water. She would leave b___87___ her the stress of life, which she called “surface fuss”. According to Natalia, when you stop breathing, most of your body’s functions stop. It is as if time itself stopped.

不是，这些是上海初三英语中考模拟考卷。不是课后练习，完全 out of nowhere, completely unpredictable. 大家感兴趣再贴几个。 我是很感叹的，初三的孩子，至少我那个年代，才学了三年英语。记不得我们初三英语考试什么水平了。 这些填空题需要这些孩子有相当的词汇量，能准确理解作者要表达的信息和选择最适合的词来填空。怪不得碰到的不少新一代留学生们英文都非常好。

82 的 m 大家讨论一下，
86是标题，再想一下，
82 mistaken
我初中做不出来

哈哈，和我想的一样

尽学这些毫无意义的东西
可笑的教育
学点拉丁语, 希腊语 或者 欧洲历史多好啊
The 2nd article: 84 higher, 86 drawing
我会填HIRE。
应该是help吧
什么乱七八糟的，who cares
不过上海学生英语水平本来就全国很高的吧，看看城市性质
不是选择题，只有首字母。后面是网友们的答案。
ADA
不过这几个句子读起来都怪怪的，不知道为嘛
ADD 觉得怪可能是因为口语中，主句会放前面，然后使用大量缩写，比如“‘s”。所以在实际运用中，that 后面不论was/is/has都是“’s”
我的答案是CDA....He would go on foot一般人都不这么说话，而整道题的tone就是日常对话。当然这样说没错。 37我觉得同理。如果是写essay可能会用had used, 但是had used这个时态在平常对话很少用。直接用used对方也能理解。而这道题明显也是日常对话。
如果是CDD的话……能理解要考的知识点，但是平时自己口语也不会那么在意时态的。
我60后，小学四年级就开始读英语了，当然比现在的简单多了
我第一个想到的就是acquire而不是develop，我觉得这个题有个重点是，必须用初中一年级的词汇库，所以这些小孩应该更熟悉这个所谓的词汇库是什么。
81 see 82 mad? 83 appearance 84 opposite 85 develop 86 hero? 87 ordinary
不好意思不小心点踩了
据我所知，现在这个标准应该是低估了，我家小孩15年前入学的时候就平均识字好几百了，我家几乎零基础的那个赶得好辛苦两个多月才识了8/900，班里最突出的学前2500字
82 不是mistaken吗？
86 Helper
现在初中英语还有单词大纲之类的吗？
第一题的B和D显然不可以，如果要用go on foot再接目的地的话是go to office on foot， 而不是go on foot to office，所以只能是C。
上私立的应该起码500吧
