九年级期末复习阅读理解训练一、阅读单选Buying Is Doing?How important is shopping to you? How much time do you spend buying things? And how much time do you spend organizing these things in your home? In the future, how much time will you spend in movie theaters, at amusement parks, at shopping malls, or at convenience stores? When you add it all up, you will robably see you spend a lot of your life consuming (消费) things. Consuming products is not necessarily bad. However, if we spend too much time doing it, we should look at it carefully.Imagine that you have a week off from school. You don't have to go to class. However, in this week, you cannot spend any money—no shopping, no movies, no eating out. How would you spend your time? What things would bring you happiness? Perhaps you would take a walk with your best friend. Perhaps you would help a child read. Or you might spend time with your family.When we look back, it is likely that non-consuming experiences like these will be our most important memories. Why? Non-consuming activities are active, not passive. They don't come in a package. You make the experience yourself. For example, each person who reads to a child will have a different experience. The experience changes with the reader, the child, and the book. Similarly，when you have a conversation with a friend, you are actively creating an experience. The conversation that you have with your friend cannot be experienced or recreated by anyone else. However, if you watch a movie with a friend, you will each have a packaged experience. It requires no action and little interaction between the two of you.The environment we live in encourages us to have packaged experiences. We feel that we must consume because we believe that buying is doing. However, we can start a personal revolution(变革) against consumerism. How? By consuming less. We can ask ourselves what experiences bring us the greatest satisfaction. Then we can organize our lives so that we have more of those kinds of experiences.1．If consuming products takes too much time, we should_______.A．spend less money B．think about it carefullyC．organize our things2．According to the passage, the writer believes that_________.A．we can say no to consumerism by consuming lessB．buying things can bring us the greatest satisfactionC．the environment seldom influences our shopping choices3．The word “those kinds of experiences” in the last sentence means________.A．consuming experiencesB．Non-consuming experiencesC．Experiences that bring us great satisfaction4．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A．To introduce some ways of enjoying our spare time.B．To encourage people to have more active experiences.C．To explain reasons behind people's shopping behavior.In a village in Uganda, a woman named Fatima ran a small store. She sold food and other useful items. However, she had trouble making enough money to keep the shelves stocked （储存的）. To stay in business, Fatima got a microfinance loan—a small total of money from a person in another country. It was just enough for her to buy a cell phone. She let villagers make calls using her phone and charged them some money for each call. This helped her make enough money to keep her shelves stocked with items. Fatima then used the money to send her children to school and improved their lives, as well as her own.Microfinance is the practice of giving small loans to people in need. Most microfinance loans are for less than two hundred dollars. The loans are used to start or enlarge a small business, such as catching fish, raising chickens or selling produce. Lenders are willing to make these loans because most of the people who receive them are very likely （可能的）to repay the loans.Microfinance loans are important for several reasons. The businesses that these loans support often provide needed services or goods to their communities. Also, many of the people who receive microfinance loans cannot get money any other way. Although they have to pay a rate （比率）of interest on the money they borrow, the rate is lower than if they borrowed from a local moneylender.It doesn’t seem like such a small total of money could make a big difference, but microfinance loans have been shown to help improve some people's lives and put new life into the communities like Fatima's.5．Why did Fatima get a microfinance loan?A．To manage her small store.B．To buy a cell phone for her neighborC．To help the villagers make money.D．To afford her children's education.6．What can we learn about microfinance?A．It supports poor people for free.B．It offers big loans to people in need.C．It helps small businesses a lot.D．It provides needed goods for local people.7．What does the underlined word " interest " in Paragraph 3 probably mean in Chinese?A．盈利B．红利C．利润D．利息8．From the text, we can infer （推断出）that __________________.A．Fatima is the richest woman in her communityB．Few people in Fatima's village have cell phonesC．Microfinance will provide money for big companiesD．Most borrowers can hardly repay the loans9．What would be the best title for the text?A．A Little Can Go a Long WayB．Small Businesses Make a Big DifferenceC．A Cell Phone Brings a Better LifeD．Microfinance Loans Build a New WorldMore and more children have to stay at home alone today. It is important for them to know how to keep themselves safe when they are at home alone. If you are one of them, you should remember the following rules:Arrive your homeWhen you come home, you should check the doors and windows to see if they are broken.★If everything is OK, go inside and lock the door quickly. Remember: never leave your key in the lock and keep the door always closed.★If something seems strange, or someone may be in the house, you should go to your neighbor’s house and call the police and your parents.Answer the doorIn some families, the rule is not to answer the door, but I think ignoring（忽视）the doorbell is not a good idea because sometimes bad people ring doorbells to see if anyone’s at home.★If someone knocks at the door, you should identify the visitor before you open the door. Are they your parents’ friends or relatives? Or are they strangers who you never know?★You can ask, “Yes, who is that?” looking through the keyhole to find out who it is and what he or she wants. If you don’t know the person very well, don’t open the door or give out any information about your family.★If you know the person or if the person says your parents asked him or her to stop by, call your parents and check.★If the person at the door has come to deliver a package or make a repair and you were not told to expect it, do not let him or her in. If you are expecting a delivery or repair person, ask him or her to slip an ID card under the door.★If the visitor wants to speak to your parents , you should say “Mum’s having a shower ”or “Dad’s having a sleep” and offer to take a message.10．The passage is for_________.A．parents B．children C．the old D．the sick11．What should you do first when you come home?A．Knock the door quickly.B．Go to the neighbor’s house.C．Check the doors and windows.D．Call your family and tell them you are at home.12．The underlined word “ identify ” probably means_______.A．ask where the visitors come from B．see whether you know the visitorC．find out how old the visitor is D．make sure the visitor knows you13．What is the purpose of the last rule in the passage?A．Not to let the visitor see your parents.B．Not to let your parents know someone is at the door.C．Not to trouble your parents when are busy.D．Not to let the visitor know you are at home alone.Nowadays，phone calls and messages help us make regular contact(联系) with others.It means that we seldom write letters now.But a TV show，Letters Alive(《见字如面》)，is bringing back this old habit.Letters Alive invites famous actors and actresses，but there are not funny jokes or different competitions.Instead，it's just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter.The letters were written by people from different times in history.For example，in one episode(集)，they read a letter written by famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941.The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future.“Every letter opens another world for us，” according to Guan Zhengwen，the director of the TV show.“It seems that we can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers.” Since its first episode on Dec.5，Letters Alive has been widely praised.Many audiences said that it has provided a breath of fresh air to today's TV shows.Besides Letters Alive，some other cultural TV shows have also been well received by Chinese audiences.They include the Chinese Poetry Competition，a traditional Chinese poetry competition and Readers，a program that invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote.They suggest that cultural values and true feelings are becoming our interest.14．Letters Alive，a TV show，invites famous people to ________.A．tell audiences jokesB．read and share lettersC．walk up to a microphone to singD．enter different competitions15．According to the passage，which sentence is RIGHT?A．We can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers by reading letters.B．Xiao Hong missed her brother but had no hope for his future.C．Letters Alive is not popular enough to attract audiences.D．Chinese Poetry Conference invites people to read poems and articles.16．How many cultural TV shows are mentioned in this passage?A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four.17．Chinese audiences ________ these cultural TV shows.A．like B．dislikeC．show no interest in D．doubt about18．What is the best title for the passage?A．Phones Have Taken the Place of LettersB．Welcome to Cultural TV ShowsC．Letters Encourage Us to CommunicateD．Cultural TV Shows Become Popular AgainMotivated (有内驱力的)or Overachieving?Everyone has the occasional classmate who hands in his work ahead of time with really beautiful handwriting. Some teachers may cheerfully get the homework by saying "Of course you did it early.I'm sure you've done a good job!" Some teachers may feel annoyed because "The deadline is not until next Friday." Behind this student's back are tons of whispers from his classmates,"Ugh, he is such an overachiever and it's so annoying ..."If you ask the same student to explain his behavior, he probably says that he is simply "motivated". Such students refuse to call themselves overachievers but prefer "motivated" instead. They want to shy away from the unpleasant term "overachiever" but choose to embrace the word"motivated" .Why is the term "overachiever" used as an insult (侮辱)? Do we not all work hard to achieve our goals? Why does the "motivated" student not proudly call himself an "overachiever" ?In my personal experience, being called an overachiever in front of my classmates is not pleasant at all. The word is often connected with an unkind smile or sometimes a hint ofjealousy (嫉妒)."Overachiever" carries the implied (暗指的) sense which "over" lends it - you have done too much and you have gone too far. Anyway, it is beyond the proper degree and just annoying to those students who refuse to put in the effort themselves and get unhappy with you for doing so.A student would rather think of himself as an excellent student and it is motivation that drives him to do his best. What is the implied meaning of "motivated" ? Connected with positive words like willpower, spirit and determination, the "motivated" student would appear to be competing in an event of the brain Olympics.Although there are differences in their implications, the student who calls himself "motivated" could actually be a secret overachiever, going over the top for all his work; while the "overachiever" is nothing more than a motivated student, driven by the simple desire to do well and willing to put in time and effort. In fact, the choice lies within the student: to overachieve or not to overachieve; to find the motivation to do well and be driven by it, or to sit back and blame others for overachieving to hide his inability to achieve.19．According to the passage, overachieversA．are popular with their classmates B．hand in homework ahead of timeC．are much loved by their teachers D．look down on others for being slow20．The word "embrace" in Paragraph 2 probably means "_ ".A．understand B．explain C．doubt D．accept21．What can we learn from the passage?A．Teachers expect students to benefit from their extra work.B．Students compete with each other to become overachievers.C．Classmates may laugh at overachievers to hide their inability to achieve.D．The writer has some pleasant experiences of being called an overachiever.22．The writer probably agrees tahatA．students shouldn't be encouraged to be overachieversB．students without motivation will become overachieversC．motivated students make better progress than overachieversD．motivated students have something in common with overachieversCould the students from less developed areas in central and western China get the same educational chances as those in big cities in the east? Could the children in poor rural (农村) areas develop as well as those in rich cities? Maybe the answers were “No” in the past. But now, China is trying to change the situation.In order to help rural students grow taller and stronger, China’s Nutrition (营养) Improvement Program started in 2011. According to the program, a lot more money was spent improving students’ meals. More than 36 million students from 134,000 primary and junior high schools in poor rural areas have benefited from the program. They are provided with healthy food like eggs and milk from Monday to Friday at school. And the result of a survey shows that the students in those areas are much taller and stronger than before.It is true that there were differences between less developed areas and developed areas in education before. Recently, The Guideline for Popularizing High School Education (2017-2020) has come out. According to the guideline, above 90% students from all over the country will go to high schools by 2020. What’s more, the schools in central and western areas will get more support to improve their education.Students from rural and poor areas also get more chances to receive higher education. A special college program makes it possible for more students from those areas to go to key (重点的) colleges and universities. The number will be increased by 10% in 2017.With the guideline and the programs, we can expect a fairer and more balanced (均衡的) education in the future.23．The number of 134,000 in Paragraph 2 is the number of _______ in poor rural areas.A．the key schools B．the poor studentsC．the key colleges and universities D．the primary and junior high schools24．The underlined word “benefited” in Paragraph 2 means _______ in Chinese.A．逃离B．获益C．受害D．赚钱25．If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?(①=Para.(自然段) 1②=Para. 2③=Para. 3④=Para. 4⑤=Para. 5)A．①②;③④;⑤B．①;②③;④⑤C．①;②③④;⑤D．①②;③;④⑤26．After reading the passage, we can infer(推断) that ________.A．Liu Xi, a student from Chongqing, can go to any high school if she wants toB．Li Mei, a student from a western rural school, can get a bag of milk every dayC．Hu Jia, a 12-year-old rural student, will more easily receive high school educationD．Han Lei, a student from Beijing, will have few chances to go to key universitiesAccording to a study by some organizations, more than half of the things in the world are made in China. And these things are all about people's everyday life.In order to truly understand why so many things are made in China, you have to understand the history. China is one of the greatest countries with rich civilization (文明) on the earth for thousands of years. Chinese people have made a lot of things very smartly. Usually it would take Westerners and other foreigners 100 more years to find out how to make them. They have clever minds and work hard, so you can see why so many things are made in China.If you study Goldman Sach’s report on the future, you will see that China will take charge of (控制）a quarter of the world's GDP in the near future. Although some big companies are moving to other countries from China, China is making more products with fine quality, as well as Japan, the USA and Europe. In 20 years or so, people will not look for a Ferrari, but a Chinese car that no one has heard of yet.China isn't just making products. It's helping people in the world live better.27．According to the study, of the things in the world are made in China.A．about 15%B．less than 25%C．over 50%D．over 75%28．What does the underlined word “They” refer to?A．Westerners.B．The Chinese.C．Other foreigners.D．The Japanese.29．The underlined word “quality” means “ ” in Chinese.A．质量B．名声C．影响D．背景30．What makes China a great country in the world for thousands of years?A．Its large area.B．Its large population.C．Its fine products.D．Its rich civilization.31．What can we learn from the third paragraph?A．China has taken charge of a quarter of the world's GDP.B．China is producing more products with fine quality.C．More and more big companies are moving to China.D．Ferrari cars will be found everywhere in China in the future.The Plain of Jars(石缸平原)is a great manmade wonder(奇观)in Laos，a country in southeast Asia.It is made up of thousands of stone jars.More than 90 jar sites have been found there.Each site has from 1 to 400 stone jars.The jars come in different sizes from 1 to 3 meters tall.Scientists have long been perplexed by their original(最初的)use.Not long ago，scientists found ancient things and burial practices at the Plain of Jars.“This will be the first major effort since the 1930s to try to understand the purpose of the jars and who created them.”Dougald O'Reilly from the Australian National University said.“The jars are empty now，but it is possible that they were once used to hold bodies.”Only a few simple objects，such as a handful of glass beads(玻璃珠)，have been found at the burial sites.And scientists think they are from about 500 or 600 BC to 550 AD．An AustraliaLaos research team spent a month collecting data(资料)at the site.O'Reilly said，“Though the stone jars remain a mystery，I hope a better understanding of the Plain of Jars will help have it listed as a World Heritage site(世界遗产保护区)．”32．The Plain of Jars is in ________．A．Asia B．Europe C．America D．Australia33．What do we know about the jars?A．They are of the same size.B．They were used for holding water.C．They are all made of stones.D．All the sites have the same number of jars.34．The underlined word “perplexed ”means “ ________ ” in Chinese.

Melvin Sheppard, 14, an American student, has done charity work for eight years. He has also encouraged his classmates to join him.Melvin studies at William Allen Middle School in Philadelphia. Recently, he collected $1,500 by himself and $487 from his classmates to donate（捐赠） to Cooper University Hospital.Melvin was born nine weeks premature in Cooper University Hospital, weighing 2.6kg. His father told him how Cooper saved his life, so he feels thankful to the hospital. Melvin’s classmates joined him as soon as they found out about his kind behavior. Their teacher, Michael Berner, also held a class with them about helping others. “It wasn’t really about the money,” Berner said. “It was about the face that they were doing something good.”“It is great, helping someone that I know,” said Jordan, Melvin’s classmate.Melvin’ s neighbors also helped out.Since Melvin was 8, he and his parents have given money to Coop er University Hospital every year. This year, Gary E.

(四)哲理故事Ⅰ.完形填空My friend Richard went far to work, so he asked me to take care of his yard in the mountains. He worked hard and often kept the yard 1 without any grass. But I was too lazy to sweep the fallen leaves, and I 2 pluck(拔) grass, allowing it to grow rapidly. In the early 3 , in March, the leaves were green and soft.A month later, when the leaves spread quickly, I discovered they were like wild orchids(兰花) in the forest.As the summer came, the “grass” really flowered. The flowers looked like those forest orchids, 4 they were yellow, unlike those purple or brown red forest orchids. I picked one flower, then went to find a friend who studied 5 . As soon as my friend saw it he asked me 6 I picked it. “It’s amazing!” He 7 explained, “This kind of orchid is hard to find. Now it is worth at least 10,000 dollars each.”I told the good news to Richard. He was 8 . After a while he said gently, he saw the orchid in the yard every year, but he thought it was common grass, so he always plucked it. He said, “If I could 9 , it would flower a few years before.”Yes, all of us might miss some rare(稀有的) orchids in our own lives. We don’t give them the time to flower to prove their value.Give the “grass” time to flower and give everybody a 10 to prove his value.

I always see her carrying the pole with the pots across her neck.One of the pots had a crack(裂缝) in it while the other pot was perfect and always carried a full pot of water. At the end of the long walk from the well to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half-full.For two years this happened daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. One day, I asked the old woman,“Why don’t you get another pot? The cracked one always makes water drop all the way back to your house.”The old woman smiled, “Did you notice that there are flowers on one side of the road, but not on the other side? That’s because I have always known about the crack, so I planted flower seeds(种子) on the side of the road. And every day while I walk back, I can water them.”“For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to make my house more beautiful. Without the cracked pot, I would not have this beauty.”Each of us has our own cracks. But It’s these cracks that make our lives together so interesting and meaningful.

人教版九年级英语下册阅读理解10篇(含答案)
九年级英语下册阅读理解10篇【一】If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs. Maybe you feel proud of yourselves? But what do other people think about your generation(代)?Some adults think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phones so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends and family.Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life on their own. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents”. They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and after-school activities such as dancing , drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them，today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. More young people volunteer to help their neighborhoods. There are also brave young people such as MalalaYousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights of going to school in poor areas.So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud.1.Which of the following is an oh-oh?2. A girl who is good-looking.3. B. A girl who is smart.4. C. A boy who was born in 2004.5.The oh-ohs are thought as the "face-down generation” because they___________.6. A. use their phones too much7. B. need to study hard in school8. C. are more creative than their parents9.What does the underline word “spoilt” mean in the third paragraph?A. 独立的B. 溺爱的C. 顺从的4. What do "helicopter parents” do for their children?A. They help their children to face all the challenges.B. They keep their children away from after-school activities.C. They guide and plan everything for them.5.What does the passage tell us?A. Young people should be better educated.B. The neighborhoods should care about teenagers.C. The oh-ohs should be hopeful about the future.【二】Penguins always live close to ocean waters since they spend three quarters of their lifetime there. They come onto land only to lay eggs and look after their chicks. Each spring, the penguins will return to the same place to lay their eggs.The largest penguins stand to 1.1 m tall and can weigh more than 41 kg. The penguin’s body is good for swimming. So they are the birds who can’t fly, but are fantastic swimmers. They have great eyesight which helps them catch fish in the darkness of the ocean. Besides, some penguins sleep standing up.How do penguins live in such cold ocean waters?They have special glands (腺).Penguins drink salty seawater and eat food full of salt. Most animals (including humans) would become ill after eating so much salt. But penguins have special glands (腺) which are above their eyes. These glands can put salt out of their insides and send it through their nose. All they have to do is to sneeze or shake their heads, and salty water will be taken out. They sometimes look like they have runny noses. They wear the great winter coat.Each penguin feather (皮毛) keeps the birds warm and dry in more than one way. The part at the bottom holds in body heat, while the part at the top prevents the water from touching them.They have strong feet.Since penguins can’t fly, they depend on their pink feet to get them to places. Their feet have nails (指甲) that help the birds in climbing the rock where they often build their nests with rocks and stones to lay their eggs. The birds also use their nails to push themselves forward on snow and ice. Along with their small wings, they use their feet to move themselves when they are swimming in cold waters.1.Penguins come onto land to lay their eggs ________.A. in springB. in summerC. in autumn2.

We were very surprised when we saw them in front of us through the car window — they towered like mountains! Later, I read in my guidebook that some of the dunes are up to 250 meters in height. Amazing!The name “Mingsha” means “singing sand,” because when the wind blows over the sand it sounds like a musical instrument being played. We didn’t hear anything that sounded like a musical instrument while we were there, however. What we did hear were the sounds of camels right inside the gates — there were hundreds of them all sitting there with their handlers. We decided to take a camel ride, and were soon glad we did, as it was the most wonderful experience of our lives.The camels were calm and gentle(温和的) and the ride was actually quite comfortable. With their wide feet, they easily climbed up a sandy dune. At the top of the dune we saw mile upon mile of dunes stretch(绵延) out before us.We stopped at one large dune with wooden steps on it, and we went sledding(滑雪橇). It reminded me of when I was a kid sledding in the snow, but this was down a hill of warm sand. It was so fun that we tried it over and over again, until we were too tired to walk up the dune.Finally, hot and tired, we decided to leave the dunes so that we could eat some cold spicy(香辣的) noodles. It was a perfect ending to a day we’ll never forget.1. They went to the Mingsha Sand Dunes _______.A. by carB. on footC. by bus2.

The sun, the moon and other planets (without Earth) of our solar system(太阳系) stand side by side as a loving family.Taken by Wang Zhipu, a 17-year-old Chinese boy, it won the top prize in the Young Competition category(组别) at the 2021 Astronomy Photographer of the Year, the world’s biggest astrophotography(天文摄影) competition.Wang loved stargazing when he was a little kid. In Grade 8, he got his first telescope(文望远镜). That was when he became a die-hard fan of astrophotography. “Astrophotography needs lots of time and effort. You may need to take hundreds or even thousands of photos, then edit(编辑) them to make one picture,” said Wang.In 2019, Wang started to take pictures of Saturn(土星) and Jupiter(木星). He got up early in the morning to get the best shots. In 2020, he got pictures of all the planets in the solar system.“I tried three times to photograph Mercury(水星). The first two tries were not satisfactory because they were not clear enough,” said Wang. The last time he took more than 10,000 pictures of Mercury and chose thousands of them to edit.“I couldn’t believe that I could win the top prize,” Wang said. “That was certainly a great honor and it encourages me to take better pictures in the future!”1. What does the word “it” refer to(指代) in Paragraph 2?A. The breathtaking picture.B. Our solar system.C. A loving family.2.

A Chinese boy won the top prize【五】When Wang Haiyan was young, her favorite toys weren’t Barbie dolls. Instead, she started learning to make shadow puppets(皮影) from her father at 13. Now 43, Wang has spent 30 years practicing and spreading the art.Shadow puppetry is a form of theater that uses puppets made from leather(皮) or paper, accompanied(伴随) by music and singing. Invented during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC— AD 24), it tells us about folklore(民间传说) and historical stories,passing down culture and customs over thousands of years.Shadow puppetry is all about creating the puppets and performing with them. Wang’s hometown of Hua County, Shaanxi, is known as the birthplace of the folk art.Puppet-makers must follow 24 steps to make the puppets, including washing the leather, carving(雕刻), and painting, according to Wang. Carving is the most difficult part. “We have a special carving technique — moving the leather under the knife,” Wang said. “You have to hold the knife still in your right hand and only move the leather in your left hand.”It took Wang three years to master this skill. She used a brick(砖块) to strengthen her left hand while practicing. It takes about 3,000 carves to make a shadow puppet. “The complicated(复杂的) steps make it hard to hand down the folk art,” she said.But Wang has found a way to do so. In 2016, she made shadow puppets based on the cartoon series HuyaoXiaohongniang(《狐妖小红娘》) and gave a livestreaming performance. She used colors like blue and purple that are hardly seen in shadow puppetry and added more sticks to the puppets to make the performance livelier.1. What does the second paragraph explain?A. Why Wang is interested in shadow puppetry.B. When shadow puppetry became popular.C. What shadow puppetry is.2. Which is the hardest step in making a puppet?A. Washing the leather.B. Carving the leather.C. Painting the leather.3. According to Wang, why is it difficult to spread shadow puppetry?A. It’s difficult to learn to make puppets.B. This art is only known in a small county.C. It requires people of great strength to perform the art.4. What is the last paragraph about?A. The difficulties in performing this art online.B. Improvements in making puppets.C. The efforts Wang made to spread this art.5. What do we know from the passage?A. Wang spent 13 years learning to carve puppets.B. Wang enjoys getting young people interested in this art.C. Wang has set up a company to make and sell shadow puppets.【六】The first people to go into space only went for short trips to see what it was like. Today, astronauts can spend weeks or even months living and working in space. We all know that living in space is very different from living on earth. So, what’s astronauts’ daily life like?Brushing teethAstronauts brush their teeth in the normal way as we do, but there is a difference! On the International Space Station (ISS), there is no weight pulling things downwards like on earth, so everything including the water and toothpaste floats(漂浮) around. The toothpaste(牙膏) which astronauts use can be swallowed after they brush their teeth and the mouth is then cleaned with a wet paper napkin. The astronauts have to do it with their mouths as closed as possible to prevent the toothpaste floating out!EatingNutrition(营养) plays an important role in keeping the health of the astronauts. However, not all the food can be taken to space. For example, American astronaut John Young took a sandwich into space in 1965. If its tiny pieces had got into space plane’s electronics, it could have caused considerable malfunction(故障). So, astronauts’ food is specially prepared. The food trays(盘子) are prepared on the ground for each astronaut and sent to the ISS before he/she arrives. Red food trays contain foods from Russia and blue ones contain food from American/European countries.ExerciseThe absence of weight leads to health problems such as bone and muscle loss. So, on the ISS there is a running machine and a special exercise bicycle. Astronauts have to do at least 2 hours of exercise every day to keep in good shape. There are also some pulleys(滑轮) and ropes. All these help them maintain the condition of their bones and muscles.1. Astronauts brush their teeth differently than we do mainly because _______.A. water is not enoughB. everything in space becomes lighterC. there is no weight in space2. The underlined word “swallow” probably means “_______”.A. 蒸发B. 吞咽C. 扔弃3. Why does the author mention the case of John Young in Paragraph 3?A. To describe the use of different food trays.B. To explain why not all food can go into space.C. To introduce how astronauts’ food is prepared.4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the last paragraph?A. Space environment has an influence on astronauts’ health.B. Astronauts exercise no more than two hours a day.C. The space station has no room for astronauts to exercise.5. What’s the best tittle of the passage?A. The problems in space.B. The life in space.C. The challenges in space.【七】Classic books never go out of fashion. The Outsider first came out in 1967. But even though the book is old, it is still worth reading. The book is written by US writer S.E. Hinton.The book tells the story of a 14-year-old boy called Ponyboy Curtis. He struggles with (挣扎于)right and wrong in a society where he believes he is an outsider. The story took place in Oklahoma, US, in 1965.In the book, the children are divided into two groups. One includes Curtis and Greasers, which are mostly made up of poor kids. They have longer hair and often smoke at a young age. The other group is called the Socs, which is made up of rich children. They wear expensive clothes and drive high-tech cars. Those two groups do not get along well. The book only shows us two weeks of the boy’s life. But unexpected things happen and change the boy’s life forever.I was touched by the friendship among the boys. When any of them had a problem, the others would help. Although they are not well-educated, they are kind and brave. For example, when Johnny was hurt and in hospital, his friends visited him almost every day. They brought him food and told him interesting stories. I always dreamed of having kind and strong friendships like this.This book shows the beautiful personalities in those ordinary people. I advise that teenagers read this book and I hope they can enjoy it.1. What does the writer mean by saying “Classic books never go out of fashion.”?A. Books about fashion are always popular.B. Good books are worth reading all the time.C. Students should read some fashionable books.2. The story in the book took place ________.A. in 1965B. in 1967C. more than 14 years ago3. The writer divided the boys into two groups according to ________.A. their families’ wealthB. their looksC. their studies4. The writer always dreamed about ________ in his life.A. healthB. knowledgeC. friendship5. The writer wrote this text to ________.A. tell us his early lifeB.introduce a book to teenagersC. explain what classic is【八】Dogs have always been considered people’s best friends. However, as miniature pigs (小型猪) are becoming popular, will they win over people’s love?Since little is known about pigs’ social skills and their communicative behavior towards humans, experts decided to make a study to compare dogs and pigs. This experiment required solving a problem. Each animal was presented at first with a problem he could solve. In this case, it was a box with food that could be easily opened. Then, they were presented with the same box, which is the unsolvable problem.What did the researchers find out? When the box in the room was empty, both the pigs and the dogs turned to people for help. However, when opening the box with food inside became a challenge, dogs turned to people earlier and for longer periods of time. Pigs, on the other hand, were faster solving the problem and turned to people less often for help.So while pigs, behavior proved to be similar to dogs towards people, pigs were more independent when they had to solve a problem. Another interesting finding is that only dogs looked up at people’s faces when they didn’t expect to receive any food at all.According to The Science Times, pigs make great pets. Similar to dogs, they are social animals that like to live in groups. Miniature pigs are also known to be highly intelligent and clean. What’s more, they get along well with cats and can live long lives of up to 20 years.Still, there’s something important to consider. Pig owners should make sure that their pet pig will receive loving care. Pigs like to play with toys and can learn tricks. They also need exercise, or they can become too obese. No matter how big or small pigs are, they are still pigs and they require special attention.It seems both dogs and pigs can make friendly and social pets. However, according to science, the bond (纽带) between dogs and humans is still the strongest.1. What can be the purpose of the study?A. To see if pigs are as smart as dogs.B. To see if pigs get used to human society.C. To see if pigs are better friends with humans than dogs.2. When pigs and dogs faced the same challenge in the study, _________.A. only pigs went to ask people for helpB. dogs needed less help from people than pigsC. pigs were better at dealing with the challenge than dogs3. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?A. Pig’s friendly behaviors.B.Reasons to keep a pet pig.C.Great abilities of pigs.4. The underlined word “obese” can be replaced by _________.A. fatB. stupidC. sleepy5. What is the best title for the passage?A. Advice on how to keep a pet pigB. Things to consider while keeping a petC. Are miniature pigs people’s new best friends?【九】Stephen CurryMy favorite basketball player is Stephen Curry.Physically, Curry looks younger than most other men. His baby face makes him look even cuter.Curry is gentle and good-tempered. Basketball matches are often so intense that there can be some conflicts(冲突) between the players. But when Curry meets conflicts, he always stays calm.At the same time, Curry is so hard-working that he practices basketball every day to improve his skills. Also, he is very determined(坚定的). He tries to be himself and never be easily influenced by others.Stephen Curry is the person I respect the most. He has inspired me a lot. I will work harder, trying to become a good person like him.Wang Kailin, 15, BeijingThe Kite RunnerMy favorite book is The Kite Runner.This story is mainly about Amir and Hasan’s friendship. Hasan is a good kite runner. When he went to catch a kite, a bad boy named Assef humiliated(羞辱) Hasan. Amir saw the bullying(欺侮), but he didn’t help Hasan because he was afraid. Later, feeling too sorry for Hasan, Amir drove away Hasan and his dad. Amir then went to America. Many years later, Amir’s uncle asked him to go back to Afghanistan and save Hasan’s son, Strabo. Later, Amir showed a great encouragement and tried his best to make up his mistakes. He went to Kabul and looked for Strabo. Finally, Amir got the salvation(拯救) of his own soul(灵魂).I was deeply moved by this story. We should try our best to run for the “kite”.

Many countries have put forward the goal of striving(奋斗目标) to be carbon neutral. China is expected to be carbon neutral by 2060. So, as middle school students, what can we do to protect the environment and live a low carbon life? Here are some suggestions for you.Travel in a green way. Now more Chinese people have cars of their own. It has brought us a lot of benefits but has created some serious problems as well. So we’d better do more walking, cycling and less driving. By doing so, we can save energy and reduce pollution.Cut down white pollution. We should reduce the pollution of plastic bags. When you go to the supermarket, bring your own shopping bags.Save water. Lack(缺乏) of water resources will affect the ecological environment(生态环境). So please turn off the tap after using it.Sort(分类) the rubbish. Doing garbage classification(垃圾分类) in a right way can turn waste into wealth.Plant more trees. Planting more trees means cutting down and reducing the carbon footprint(碳足迹) and spreading of greenhouse gases(气体). For example, the trees planted in China are playing an important role. A report published in Nature shows that CO2 absorption(吸收) in two new forest areas in China is more than we thought. The two areas are located in China’s southwestern and northeastern provinces. They make up over 35 percent of China’s carbon sinks(碳汇). The main natural carbon sinks are trees and other plants.Use both sides of the paper. The paper production process uses a lot of trees.Now is the time that we should take up our responsibility to protect our environment from being polluted. Let’s join our hands and take actions immediately.1.How many suggestions does the writer give in the passage to be carbon neutral?A. 5.B. 6.C. 7.2.

阅读与表达（一）Could getting a good night’s sleep avoid putting on weight for children?According to a new study, putting preschoolers in bed by 8 P.M.Could reduce their chances of becoming overweight or obese (肥胖) later in life by half. Preschoolers are children around the age of 4 or 5.The researchers from Ohio State University wrote their findings in the Journal of Pediatrics. They have found that young children who go to bed after 9 P.M. are twice as likely to be obese later in life. The lead author of the study is Sarah Anderson. She says that it’s very important for parents to create a bedtime routine for their children.How was the research conducted? Researchers chose 977 children for it. These children are part of a larger project called the Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development. The project follows healthy babies born in 1991 in ten U.S.cities. In order to have a clearer picture of the results, researchers then divided the children into three groups:●those who went to bed by 8 P.M. or earlier●those who went to bed between 8 P.M. and 9 P.M.●those whose bedtimes were after 9 P.M.When these children turned 15 years old, the researchers looked at the results of the study. Of those with the earliest bedtimes, only one out of ten was obese. Of those who went to bed between 8 and 9 at night. 16 percent of the children became obese. And out of those with the latest bedtimes, 23 percent of the children became obese.“Having a usual bedtime routine can lower children’s risk of becoming overweight. Besides, as usual, early bedtime is also likely to have positive effects on behavior and social development,” said Professor Anderson.1.

Grace and Karen disliked Saturdays. That was another thing the twins had in common. They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same manner. In fact, it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell them apart sometimes.Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Grace had to attend the art lesson and Karen had to attend her ballet lesson. “How I wish I could do something different today，” said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Grace and Karen at the same time. “How would you like to be me for a day？” they asked each other. It seemed like a wonderful plan to them. After giving each other a description of their own friends, Grace put on Karen's ballet dress while Karen put Grace's brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes.When the art lesson started, Karen was lost. Unlike Grace, Karen was poor at drawing. When the art lesson finally ended, Karen didn't dare to hand in her work.Meanwhile, Grace was struggling in the ballet class as well. As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly. As a result, she kept knocking into them. Their ballet teacher became impatient with her, “Karen, you should remember the basic steps. You can't rely on copying what others are doing.”When Karen and Grace got home, they were tired out. They decided that they would never try to besomeone else they were not.

For many years, sales of garlic in California had been little because of the much cheaper garlic from China. This year, however, California garlic sales are rising because American government increases tariffs （关税） on Chinese products.Christopher, a garlic grower in California, is manager of his company and he said, "In a perfect world, we would love to see the tariffs on China."Tariffs on Chinese garlic rose from 10% to 25% on May 9, 2019, and the reason is that U.S President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese products worth of $200 billion. Since then, Chinese buyers have almost stopped buying soybeans from the United States and American soybean farmers are now getting worried.Not everyone likes the garlic tariffs in the U.S. Last July Christopher expressed his support on Trump's policy （政策）. However, officials from McCormick and Company Inc. didn't agree with the policy. McCormick's CEO, Lawrence told Reuters （路透社）that without Chinese garlic America can't go.

九年级上Unit 4一、阅读理解AThere are countless myths to explain how the world came to have a moon to bring light to the night time. But now there is a plan for a man-made moon. It will give us far more light than the natural moon.China is preparing to put a man-made moon in the sky above Chengdu by 2020. It will reflect sunlight back onto the Earth. If it succeeds, three more such objects will be sent out in 2022, according to Wu Chunfeng, a space scientist. Wu said it would be similar to how we get moonlight, but he predicted that the man-made moon would have eight times the brightness of the real one. "This is because the object will be about 500 kilometers above the Earth. That will make it a lot closer to us than the Moon, which is over 380,000 kilometers away," Wu added.If the plan works, the man-made moon will save a lot of power. Scientists predict that Chengdu could save around 1.2 billion yuan on electricity every year if a new moon lights up 50 square kilometers of the city. And in 2022, four man-made moons can take turns to work as they will not always be in the best position relative to the Sun. Together, they can give light to an area of up to 6,400 square kilometers on the Earth for 24 hours.

In September 2010, a team of US scientists discovered an Earthsized planet called Gliese 581g. It has a surface temperature neither too hot nor too cold for liquid(液态) water. Scientists think there is a chance that the planet could have life. The planet Gliese 581g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 lightyears from Earth. That is about 194 trillion(万亿) kilometres—500 million times farther away from us than the moon.A spacecraft travelling at a onetenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g withi n about 220 years. A human can’t live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier. However, our fastest spacecraft don’t e anywhere near that onetenth lightspeed mark.Although spacecraft won’t be getting there anytime soon, one way to loo k for life on Glliese 581g is to turn our radio telescopes(望远镜) towards the planet and search for radiation(放射). By studying the radiation, scientists could find out about the chemicals(化学物质) around the planet and discover if Gliese 581g has an atmosphere. If it has one, studying the atmosphere would give us a good idea if the planet has life or not. But it’ll probably be many years before we can do this properly. People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581g. Anydiscussion about alien life is just guessing at this point, according to its discoverers.()1.
