So I chose a job as a salesman and I did make some pretty good money.But later I realized that was not what I wanted，because I was often forced to sell products that might not be good for the customers. I became v ery unhappy 28I could make a lot of money. I no longer felt proud of my job and e v en 29myself for doing things like that. So I ga v e up my job and took another job，this time helping people 30—the poor and the weak. The sense of belonging(归属感) was great and suddenly I felt successful in my life again. I made less money，but I was 31with myself.For my own part，success comes from the feeling of satisfaction and joy. I feel successful when I lo v e what I do，not caring so much about money. And I feel the most successful when I 32my kindness e v erywhere I go.So be 33to yourself：Learn to listen to the v oice from the bottom of your heart.

The well-known story of Pinocchio teaches the importance of telling the truth. E v ery time Pinocchio lies，his nose grows longer and longer. Another story is The Boy Who Cried Wolf. In theend，he loses all his sheep and the trust of his fellow v illagers because he tells lies many times. These types of stories show children that “honesty is the best policy”. Still，if this is the case，then why do so many people lie？The fact is that people lie for many reasons.One reason people lie is to hide(掩盖) a mistake. While it is true that e v eryone does something wrong from time to time，some people do not ha v e the courage to admit their errors(错误) because they are afraid they will be blamed. For example，students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework. They might say that they left the work at home when，in fact，they did not do the work at all. These students do not want to get in trouble or seem irresponsible，so they make up an excuse—a lie—to sa v e face.Another reason for lying has to do with self-protection. Parents，particularly those with young children，may teach their children to use this type of “protecti v e” lie in certain circumstances(状况). What should children do if a stranger calls while the parents are out？Many parents teach their children to explain that their mother and father are too busy to come to the phone at that time. In this situation，protecti v e lying can mean greater safety.People lie for many reasons，both good and bad ones. Lying to keep the peace or to stay safe can ha v e positi v e results. Howe v er，lying to stay out of trouble can lead to more trouble in the end. Understanding the moti v es behind the impulse(冲动) to lie might minimize this habit of lying.()39. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in the passage？A.Honesty is the best policy.B.The well-known story of Pinocchio.C.The story The Boy Who Cried Wolf.()40.Why do some children lie to their teachers？A.Because they like making up an excuse.B.Because they left the homework at home.C.Because they are afraid to be blamed at school.()41.How does the writer explain why people tell lies？A.By asking questions.B.By gi v ing examples.C.By showing the results.()42.What is the correct structure of the passage？(P1＝Paragraph 1)A. B. C.()43.What’s the best title for the passage？A.The Truth behind LyingB.The Types of LiesC.The Habit of LyingC请阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余项｡Daily newspapers in Britain and the United StatesNewspapers in Britain can be di v ided into the quality newspapers (more serious newspapers) and the popular newspapers.

At the same time，they also know how to ha v e a good time. If you want to be such a student，you’re supposed to de v elop the following qualities first.Studies come first. Successful students always make their studies the toppriority(优先事项). Whate v er you want to do，you should ne v er cut down the time you need to spend studying. This doesn’t mean that you can ne v er do the things you want to do，but studying should be at the top of your list.Work honestly.This means you should do your own work，and a v oid copying and cheating. Cheating won’t get you anywhere，and one day can actually get you into a lot of trouble. Cheating also makes you think it’s okay to take shortcuts(捷径) when it comes to life，and it can lead to some bad habits.Stay focused(专心的).Successful students put their heart into the task. After you do one task for more than 60 minutes，getting a short break is necessary.It can help you relax your mind and focus on the task again.Don’t compare yourself with anyone else. Successful students succeed on their own terms. They don’t care what others do because they know that in the end，their own success is what they care about.If you care too much about other people，then you’ll be disappointed in yourself or become so competiti v e. Learn to focus on what you are good at and do the best.Get excited about the material. Successful students are interested in the material that they study，and this helps them impro v e in a rapid way. Of course，you can’t get excited about e v ery little thing you’re learning，but you can try to find something that you care about in e v ery class. This will make it fun for you to learn.请阅读下面的非连续性文本，根据语篇内容，回答问题｡People in different countries speak different languages. But is there a language that can be understood by e v eryone in the world？Emojis(表情符号) might be the first one.Emojis are a special kind of language. Pictures are used to express meaning.

They kept on skiing. When they got to the foot of the mountain, there was no sign of Jake.Jake couldn't find his ski anywhere. In the end, he decided to take off his other ski and walk down the mountain. But he couldn't work out the right way to go.It was now getting dark and he was a long way from any place of safety. He knew that he might die that night in the cold temperatures. But Jake kept calm (镇定的). At home，Jake watched a lot of TV programmes about living in difficult situations. He remembered the advice from these programmes and knew that he should build a hole in the snow. He made a hole and pointed it up the hill so the wind couldn't blow into it. Outside his hole, the temperature fell to －15℃that night, but inside it Jake was safe from the cold.But he had to get down the mountain. The TV programmes always said，“If you are lost, you should find someone else's tracks (足迹) through the snow and follow them. ” “I wanted to live my life，” remembers Jake. “So I got up and I found some ski tracks and I followed those. ” He walked and walked and finally he saw l ights. Nine hours after he lost his ski, he found a team of workers who came to save him. He was safe!His mum was very happy when she heard the news. Amazingly, Jake didn't even have to go to hospital. He got through the terrible experience without any injuries.So，the next time someone says that watching TV is a waste of time, think of Jake. Sometimes TV can save your life.59.

Facing the difficulties, Jake was____.A. polite and hard-workingB. calm and cleverC. outgoing and helpfulD. warm and friendlyCAt some point in our lives during c hildhood, we were told to “jump more” in order to grow taller. A couple in China encouraged their 12-year-old son to jump 1，000 times a day. They offered him 10 yuan for every 1，000 jumps he did. Why would the parents want their child to jump a thousand times every single day? This kid was 145 cm, and the average height for kids of that age was 152 cm. As typical Asian parents, they wanted him to grow taller and they also believed that jumping could help.The boy's father gave him a jump rope and managed to convince (说服) him to start jumping. From that day on, he used the jump rope every day unless he fell sick,and he even jumped up to 3，000 times per day. After one whole year of jumping, the parents rewarded him with a total of 4，000 yuan. However, the boy not only did not grow taller, but he ended up being the shortest student in his class.It turned out that he had been spending the money that he earned on unhealthy snacks like potato chips! This explained why he often lost his appetite (食欲) at the dinn er table and the “unexplainable” weight gain. His parents thought he was going through a hard time with study, but he was actually just snacking endlessly.Learning from this clear example, parents should really just accept that height is affected by not only doing proper sports but also the parents' genes, and a healthy, balanced diet.63. Why did the parents ask their kid to jump more?A. To build up his body.B. To let their kid lose weight.C. To let their kid grow taller.D. To give him more pocket money.64. What surprised the parents?A. Their kid almost jumped every day.B. Their kid fell ill because of jumping rope.C. Their kid became taller and taller.D. Their kid became the shortest one in his class.65. Why did the boy eat less at the dinner table?A. Because he ate too many snacks.B. Because he didn't like the food at home.C. Because he wasn't good at his study.D. Because he got hurt while jumping.DEvery day in newspapers and magazines there are articles telling us we should exercise more. And scientists now say that running is one of the best ways to keep fit. It can make you feel better and look better. Some say it can even make you live longer.All you need for running are some comfortable clothes and a pair of trainers(运动鞋). And remember you should always buy trainers for running one size larger than your usual shoes.Some people find running tiresome,__so go cycling or swimming instead sometimes. Also, you shouldn't exercise every day. It's very important to rest two or three times a week. You should eat well and drink lots of water and you can still have nice things like chocolate sometimes.If you are a beginner, there are lots of ways to make exercise fun. You can join a club or exercise with a friend. Another idea is to enter a race. This can give you a reason to train and keep you interested in running.66. How many advantages of running are mentioned in the first paragraph?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Five.67. How can we make the exercise fun according to the text?①By joining a club.②By exercising with a friend.③By competing with others.④By setting a goal.A. ①②③B. ①③④C. ①②④D. ②③④68. What does the underlined word “tiresome” mean?A. Interesting.B. Boring.C. Helpful.D. Difficult.69. In which part of a magazine can we read the text?A. Business.B. Science.C. Medical care.D. Sports.EHave you ever jumped on a trampoline(蹦床)? Today many peopleuse it for exercise.Back in the 1980s, researchers found that jumping on a trampoline was a good way to help astronauts regain their strength. Actually, trampolining has many advantages. It helps bones and muscles grow and improves your balance by stimulating the inner ear. It is especially useful for increasing the flow of the lymphatic (淋巴的) system, which helps your body get rid of harmful toxins. Trampolining has benefits similar to those of running, but without too much stress on knees or ankles.If you would like to start trampolining, you may first need to ask a doctor to make sure it's a safe activity for you. It's easy to find an inexpensive trampoline, but it should be well-made and strong enough to support your weight. To avoid accidents, some trampolines have a safety net around them. Remember: whenever you are on a trampoline, be careful not to jump near the edge of it.Here are a few exercises for beginners:•High Knee Lift. Raise one knee at a time. Lift your knee higher than you usually do when you are running.•Star Jump. Jump into the air and spread your arms and legs into a star shape. As you gain more confidence, practice more difficult levels.•Tuck Jump. At the top of your jump, bring the knees to the chest, with the arms holding the legs.•Pike Jump. Jump high, bring the legs up, and point the toes forward. Touch your toes with hands.There are many more exercises you can try. Happy trampolining!70. According to the passage, what benefit can we get from trampolining?A. It helps with bone growth.B. It cures illnesses in our knees.C. It helps reduce stress on muscles.D. It prevents ears from being hurt.71. How can we do trampolining safely?A. By buying an expensive trampoline.B. By jumping in the center of a trampoline.C. By choosing a trampoline without a net.D. By losing weight before starting trampolining.72. This passage introduces____.A. an exercise to improve our fitnessB. an exercise to gain self-confidenceC. a way to keep balance when we jumpD. a way to avoid accidents when we exercise第二节:阅读下面的短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。

九年级英语培优(9)
九年级英语培优2（三）阅读理解What do people do with their old, out of date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know how to deal with them. Many old computers are put away. Many more are simply thrown away as rubbish.Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products(产品). Dell, Hewlett Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers of their own brands.In some countries, laws have been passed, too. Computer companies have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of the computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay for the cost. That will encourage them to make computers which are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade(升级).Yet many people are throwing away good computers, while others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working on this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers. These repaired computers then go to schools, charities(慈善团体) or people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things and cut down waste, too.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

Paper, as one of the four great inventions of our country, can be seen everywhere in our life. Although it is very common, it can always play an important role when we need it. The invention of paper greatly helped develop and spread traditional Chinese culture, which made paper so important.Paper was an important invention in ancient China. Writing developed slowly from ancient times when people mainly depended on writing instruments like ropes. At first, the oracle bone (甲骨) was used as writing material (材料). Bamboo and wood were also discovered and used during the Spring and Autumn Period. But bamboo pieces were not a good choice because they were too heavy, so paper was produced. Thanks to the invention and popularization of paper, people could no longer use stone, wood or other materials to record writings or pictures, and so much ancient information was saved and spread.Paper is quite helpful in our life today. It is the carrier (载体) of writing and printing. For example, painters use it to describe the beauty of the world, writers use it to tell the warmth of the world, and educators use it to spread knowledge. Of course, it can also be used for other purposes. It is also used for packing (包装) things like gifts.This is paper. It plays a very important role in our life, but still, there are many people who waste paper now…63. What made paper so important?A. It was difficult to find much paper in ancient times.B. It was the most popular invention among foreigners.C. It needed many kinds of valuable materials.D. It helped develop and spread traditional Chinese culture.64. How many examples are mentioned to show paper is a carrier in the text?A. Two.B. Three.C. Six.D. Seven.65. What will the writer talk about in the last paragraph?A. Skills of making paper.B. Paper's past and future.C. Stories of inventing paper.D. Examples of wasting paper.D①AI ( artificial intelligence人工智能) and machine learning refer to the ability of machines to learn and act intelligently. It means they can make decisions，finish tasks，and even tell the possible future results based on what they learn from data(数据).②AI and machine learning already play a bigger role in everyday life than you might imagine. Health care，banking, video games, every search on the Internet you make…，all are driven by AI.③AI is going to change almost every field of modern life. Stephen Hawking said，“Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. ” And Hawking added at once, “Unluckily, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the ris ks. ”④__▲__，especially when youconsider some countries areracing todevelop AI-enabled autonomous weapons (人工智能自主武器). It is also going to change and take the place of many human jobs. The same worries also come from the public. According to the survey result from the Centre for the Governance of AI, 91% of the________ people (tend to and totally) agree that“AI is a technology that requires careful management” in Europe.⑤But rather than agreeing with an idea of a helpless future where all human jobs are given over to robots, some people believe AI will make our working lives better. It will improve the work of humans, and new jobs will appear to take the place of the old ones.⑥What's more, machines become more intelligent and they are able to finish more human tasks. Things which only belong to humans like creativity and critical(批判性的) thinking, will become even more valuable in the future.⑦Like it or not, AI is here. Maybe changing ourselves and managing it well are the best way out. Just as Benjamin Franklin once said，“When you're finishedchanging，you're finished. ”66. Which paragraph does the diagram mainly support?A. ②B. ③C. ④D. ⑤67. Which sentence can be put in the __▲__？A. As we know, there are possible huge risks for society and human lifeB. Also, you can find AI serving our daily life in every possible fieldC. Without doubt，AI is a fantastic technology to lead us into the futureD. Humans are surely more creative and better at many things than AI68. What's the purpose of writing the passage?A. To warn us that AI will take humans' place.B. To show us that there are a lot of uses of AI.C. To tell us that many people are worried about AI.D. To suggest we prepare for the changes brought by AI.69. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage?EEvery day, people invent new things. Some inventors work hard for years to create something new. But some of the best inventions happen by accident.Can you imagine a world without chocolate chip cookies? Back in 1930, Ruth Wakefield and her husband opened a restaurant in Massachusetts. It was called the Toll House Inn. Ruth worked as the cook. The restaurant held 30 guests. Ruth often had to rush to feed them all on time.One day, Ruth was mixing up some chocolate cookies in the kitchen. The recipe said to melt squares of chocolate. The next step was to pour (倾倒) the meltedchocolate into the pale cookie batter (面糊).You have to melt chocolate slowly or it will burn. Ruth was in a hurry. She decided to break the chocolate squares into little pieces. Then she threw the pieces into the batter. After all, the cookies had to be put into a hot oven (烤箱). She thought the chocolate would just melt into the rest of the batter.When she took the cookies out of the oven, she could still see big pieces of chocolate. She could never serve these to her guests!Then, Ruth tasted the cookies. They were delicious! Her guests agreed.Ruth began buying lots of chocolate and cutting it up. Then she asked the candy makers if they could make the chocolate easier to break into small pieces. That was when they came up with chocolate chips.Thanks to Ruth Wakefield, today you can find “Toll House” cookies in every food market. But none of them tastes as good as a homemade chocolate chip cookie, hot from the oven.70.

When your teacher gi v es you too much homework，or when a friend borrows your fa v orite thing and then breaks it，you may get angry.Usually，your body will tell you when you are angry. For example，you breathe faster，your face turns red，or you aren’t interested in delicious food. But sometimes you hide your anger. For example，you may hide it in your heart. The problem is that if you do this，you may ha v e a headache or your stomach may hurt.In fact，it’s not good to hide your anger，and it’s normal for you to get angry sometimes. When you get angry，you can talk about your problems with adults. If you like，you can talk with your parents，your teachers or others. After doing that，you’ll find your bad feelings can start to go away. When you feel angry，you need to do other things wisely：count from 1 to 100，gi v e someone a hug，go for a bike ride，think about good things，and so on.Remember that when you are angry，how you act can make e v erything better or worse. And don’t let your anger control you.请阅读下面的非连续性文本，根据语篇内容，回答问题｡For years，schools and parents don’t pay much attention to students’ physical education. They don’t think it’s as important as the main subjects. As a result，some students are in poor physical condition and more and more ha v e poor eyesight. To impro v e physical education in the modern world，some pro v inces ha v e broken the tradition. They gi v e P.E. and the three subjects—Chinese，math and English—the same importance in zhongkao. And more pro v inces will probably do the same.Do you think P.E. scores should be increased？The following are some students’thoughts.•I am Mike. I think so. I lo v e P.E.，and I’m good at it. Thanks to it，I seldom get ill and I don’t ha v e to wear glasses. If the P.E. scores are increased，I will do better in zhongkao.•I am Lisa. I’m poor at P.E. I don’t think I can get high scores in zhongkao. And I’ll be worried about the other subjects if I ha v e to spend more time on P.E.•I am Tina. I hate staying indoors all day long. If P.E. scores are increased，I will ha v e more outdoor time. Good health is the most important，isn’t it？And I’m sure I can do better in the P.E. exam.•I am Jack. My parents ha v e spent a lot of time and money on my English and math studies. I don’t want them to spend more. I want to spend time on P.E.What can students do to impro v e their P.E. scores？Don’t worry. Your P.E. scores can be impro v ed through training. The following tips can be helpful to you.First，keep running e v ery day. Don’t care about the speed or the time. Just keep running. It will make it easier for you to finish the 800/1000-meter run. Second，professional skills are needed. You can get them from your P.E. teacher. So，be careful in class. Third，it’s good for you to find a partner and practice with him. With each other’s support，the boring training won’t be that difficult to complete. Anyway，face the challenge bra v ely and you will get a lot from the learning process.(Chart Ⅱ)54.How do some pro v inces pay more attention to students’ physical education？55.What do the shocking numbers show？56.What’s the common reason for Mike’s and Tina’s lo v e for P.E.？57.What does Lisa worry about？58.Please complete the “▲” in Chart Ⅱ. What else do you think you can do toimpro v e your P.E. scores？59.What can your school do to help you impro v e your P.E. scores？八、词语运用｡(这一部分共两篇短文，A篇有五个小题，每小题2分，B篇有十个小题，每小题1分，共20分)A.请阅读下面短文，根据语篇内容，在空白处填入恰当的单词，使短文通顺、连贯｡每空一词｡A sick man asked a doctor for help. He said he was afraid to die and hoped the doctor could tell him how long he would li v e. But the doctor said he didn’t know.The man became a little angry. A few seconds later，the doctor shared his own experience. “I got cancer ten years ago. As a 60.，I clearly knew my life might end at any moment. I had the same feeling 61.you. At that time，I was worried to know how long my life would last. Before dying，should I li v e in sadness？Should I stop being a doctor and then wait for death？No. I decided to treat e v ery day as a gift. From then on，I spent the past ten years doing meaningful things. Life is full of wonders. Though I don’t know the answer 62.your question，I belie v e that the meaning of life is not decided by how long it is，but by the way you li v e. Your life may be longer or shorter. Howe v er，63.you do something meaningful，you will make your life worthy.” The patient nodded and turned his worried face into a happy look.Nobody knows what will happen in the future.

I took music lessons together with my sister. We started from the simple thing—using fi v e 68.to touch the keys，forward and backward. At first，I was filled with moti v ation(动机).The first thing I would do e v ery day after opening my eyes in the morning was to practice the se v en keys on the wall while lying in bed. Howe v er，after two weeks，my moti v ation 69.pushed me into the practice was 70.disappearing. And finally，it was gone.It’s true that I liked the keyboard. I was able to make all kinds of sounds. I just couldn’t stand playing for as long as I was required to each day. That was too demanding(费力的). It wasn’t as easy as I had thought. I was taking too long time 71. good at it. My sister was different from me. She kept on practicing the piano all the time.

Gong Siyu is from Chengdu.She is in Grade 8 now，but she began to train from Grade 7 and took an after- school training class. Gong said，“Health is important. I’v e become more and more energetic by training.” Sun Gao is from Hangzhou. He got 26.5 points out of 30.“It wasn’t a high score since many of my classmates got full scores. But I’m still happy since I ha v e tried my best. I can get more chances to exercise and relax when I keep practicing，”Sun said. Howe v er，not all students enjoy the process. Liu Jiawei from Jilin often feels tired from training e v ery day.“I’m not good at sports. Our teachers sometimes use our PE classes for other subjects，” Liu said.“In the PE test I got only 20 points out of 50. This will largely influence my o v erall grade in the exam.”So you see，there are more ad v antages than disad v antages. We should treat the PE test properly.

Therefore，I joined the school art cluband practiced painting after school e v ery Tuesday and Friday. No matter what happened，I was still on time to take the art lesson and finished each painting carefully. By doing this，I de v eloped my ability and decided that I wanted to completely de v ote myself to painting.Thanks to painting，I always sense that life is full of sunshine. At the same time，I can get enough courage to deal with any difficulty I meet.。

The antelope looked down at his legs. He shook his head sadly and replied, “You're right. They look like dry sticks of wood. ”The fish then swam away. After some time, the antelope heard the barks(吠声) of some dogs. The antelop e began to run for his life as fast as he could. His “ugly” legs took him to safety, away from the dogs.After a while, however, the antelope heard the barks of the dogs again. This time, he ran towards the forest. But sadly, his horns got caught in the tree sticks. And he couldn't break free.Soon, the dogs found the antelope. The sound of the gun followed and broke the quiet of the forest.

We all experience stress at times, but it's important to manage it properly and reduce its influence. Here are some helpful tips for dealing with stress.②Sometimes we feel stressed without understanding the reason. So whenever you're stressed, you should stop and think. What is really happening? How can you improve the situation? Try keeping a diary about your problems and the possible causes.③Do you always wait until Sunday evening to do homework? This bad habit can cause “ lastminute ” stress, as well as poor grades. To avoid that, time management is greatly needed. Plan your studies and other activities with a calendar. You can also divide big projects into smaller tasks. In this way, you'll always know how much time you really have.④Besides, healthy habits are very important for reducing stress. Be sure to eat healthy meals and get at least eight hours of sleep. Avoid checking your mobile phone or using the computer before bedtime. It will keep you awake!⑤When you're feeling stressed, it's helpful to speak to someone who understands your situation, such as your friends and family. Sometimes it's enough to talk aboutyour problems and share your feelings. Other times, however, you might need advice or suggestions. Don't keep your worries to yourself.⑥Finally, relaxation is important. Find some free time for activities that you enjoy, such as sports, hobbies and meeting with friends. For example, seeing a film or hanging out after 5 days' study could be a good choice. If you find some time to relax and enjoy yourself, you'll feel refreshed, have more energy, and reduce your level of stress.63. What advice does the writer give on reducing stress in Paragraph 3?A. Stop and think.B. Manage your time.C. Watch your health.D. Reach out for help.64. How does the writer develop Paragraph 6?A. By telling stories.B. By listing numbers.C. By asking questions.D.

The Sanxingdui relics(遗迹)were first discovered by a farmer in 1929. Since then, archaeologists(考古学家)have worked on the discovery and research of the Sanxingdui Culture. In 1986, two sacrificial pits(祭祀坑)were found and they drew tons of attention around the world. Since 2019, six new pits have been discovered. Thousands of surprising artifacts(文物)have been found there, and they could date back to the 12th and 11th centuries BC.Archaeologists believe that the Sanxingdui civilization(文明)may be part of theancient kingdom of Shu. The Sanxingdui relics were part of the Chinese Bronze Age and, according to the findings in the area, this was a very sophisticated(复杂的)culture. Yet it mysteriously disappeared around 1100 BC leaving only artifacts behind.The Sanxingdui finds are exciting, but mysteries over the Sanxingdui Culture remain: Who were the people living at this site, and what was their society like? How did this civilization disappear? No texts have been found, and there isn't any mention of this culture in the records of other countries. At this point, however, the culture that produced these artifacts remains a mystery.66. How many pits have been found since 1986?A. Two.B. Six.C. Eight.D. Nine.67.

The location(位置) of Sanxingdui.B. The importance of Sanxingdui.C. The history of Sanxingdui.D. The process of discovering Sanxingdui.69. What's the best title for the text?A. New findings at SanxingduiB. Lost civilization—the mystery of SanxingduiC. The Bronze Age civilizationD. The discovery of the ancient kingdom of ShuEHave you ever wondered why so many apps are free to use？After all，they costmoney to run. Well, instead of paying with money，you're paying by sharing your personal data(数据). Then businesses buy and use the data so that they can show you target ads(定向广告).What happened to personal information online?Many free apps get paid by businesses who want to know about the users of the apps. What a business wants is the exact information about customers. Companies called “data brokers” collect your data—everything from your name，location and education level to the topics you search for, the websites you visit and the people you follow. And then, they sell them to other brokers and businesses.________The data is valuable. Businesses can use the information from data brokers to target their ads. It means they will show their ads to the people who are most likely to be interested in their products or services.What can we do about it?Many countries have made laws to protect personal information. For example，a law in the United States says companies must get parents' permission to collect personal data from kids under 13. China's law on personal information protection came into effect on November 1st，2021. At the same time，we should try to protect our data. If an app asks for something like your location，consider saying “No” first. In short，information about you is very valuable. Try to protect it.70. According to the passage，Picture ____ can describe how businesses show ustarget ads.71. Which of the following can be put in the ____？A. What are the people interested in?B. Why do companies show their ads?C. Why do companies want the data?D. What are the new products?72.

There wasn’tany money for music lessons in schools, so kids made their records outside in the streets. Everybody joined in . MCs had rapping 说唱 competitions. Every week, there were talented new dancers, new DJs and new MCs. Hip hop culture was born.3It was 1980. I was at a party in New York. There was a young DJ at the party. He was playing records. While he was putting a record on, a kid picked up a microphone and began rapping. Some other kids were break-dancing to the music. It was loud and boring, and I hated it. I preferred jazz.4Today’ssuccessful American artists like Missy and her friend Tim heard it on the radio when they were growing up.The last time I heard hip hop, I was in West Africa. 5I was going to interview a traditional storyteller when I met a young hip hop artist.
