My whole life was hopeless. Then one day I read the following article from a magazine:"A woman went to live with her husband in camp on the Mojave Desert (沙漠) during the war. She simply hated the place: the heat was almost un-bearable, 125 degrees in the shade, the wind blew incessantly, and there was sand-sand everywhere. Finally, in desperation (不顾一切地) she wrote her parents in Ohio that she couldn't stand it another minute and was coming home.Quickly came the reply by airmail from her father——just two lines:"Two men looked out from prison bars. One saw the mud, the other saw stars."The daughter did some real thinking, not only with the intellect (思维) but also with her heart. She decided to stick to her post.She made friends with the natives, learned to love the country, and eventually wrote a book about it.The desert hadn't changed, but her attitude had.

I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly, then he asked.” Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin),but a good number I could--and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to a fairly clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.” That’s just for you,” he said.” You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments.

He refused to take the list and have a look at it.DI have been very lucky to make many trips to China. Though I have had some trouble with the language, I have never had a problem I couldn’t solve. As a native English speaker（土生土长的说英语的人），I can go almost everywhere in the world and find someone to communicate with. I never thought that someone who speaks only Chinese would have a lot of trouble in my country.Recently, the King family that I had met in China moved to Canada. I met them at the airport. My wife and I made mea ls for them and showed them around where we live. Everything seemed to go smoothly for the first two days as we looked f or a car for them, showed them the way to different stores and the nearest city, Victoria. Mr. and Mrs King had a two-year-o ld son and soon we became Nainai (grandmother) and Yeye (grandfather). We were having a good time but we didn’t realiz e Mr. King can’t speak English.Luckily, Mrs. King can speak very good English. Many people with Chinese background live near us. In fact, none of them speak Chinese. Mr. King can’t even buy a mobile phone without his wife’s help. He can’t talk to me, of course. By the third day, he felt lonely and worried. And on the fourth day, we decided to take them to a large Chinese community.Now, we often visit them and they visit us too. Sometimes Mrs. King would still like to live near us but Mr. King cannot. I feel bad because he seems very nice and smart but I can’t talk with him. It seems that neither of us will learn the other’s language because of our ages, maybe we will never have a friendly conversation.

Did yo u ever hear anyone say, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”? Do you think that if people eat apples they won’t get sick?Some scientists wanted to find out if this old saying is true. They divided a college class into two groups. The first group ate two apples a day. The second group did not eat any apple. After a few months, they added up all the times the young people got sick. The apple eaters turned out to be healthier than those who hadn’t eaten apples.

Day One阅读难度★★★Alone in the woodsRight now, I’m on the bus, traveling on the roads of southwest England. Sometimes, I see a bird.Yesterday, I held a worm between my fingers for the first time in years, watching its soft pink body moving around.For these moments, I am thankful for Fingers in the Sparkle Jar. The book is a growing-up memoir (回忆录) by BBC presenter Chris Packham. As a quiet young boy, Packham only felt happy in the fields and woods around his home.

牛津译林版九年级英语上册阅读理解专项训练
牛津译林版九年级英语上册阅读理解专项训练一、阅读理解For me, one of the greatest pleasures in life is going to watch a great film at the cinema. It's a chance for me to get away from real life. There's nothing better than being absorbed in a story unless，of course，someone decides to break down the moment. Whether at a cinema or a huge theatre, someone usually decides to treat the place like their own home! There is an accepted way of behaving at the cinema which some people don't seem to understand.To start with，some people always turn up late causing you to rise from your seat to allow them to go past. Then, when you want to enjoy the surround-sound effects，someone begins to enjoy drinks and popcorn and thus makes a lot of noises. And what I can't stand most is people who decide to chat to their friends，sometimes not even about the film.I'm not alone in this situation. Simon Mayo，a film critic at the BBC, experienced a "new low" during a film. He says，"The woman in front of me got a mirror out，then her boyfriend got a phone out and used the light on it to allow her to do her make-up!"Simon has helped to create a list of rules on how moviegoers should behave at the cinema. One of them is to ban mobile phones，and another is not to take your shoes off-a most serious offence(冒犯)!Of course，when we have paid for a ticket，we feel it is our right to relax and enjoy the film in the way we want to，but we mustn't forget our fellow moviegoers who want to enjoy the cinematicexperience, too.The best choice for anyone wanting to break the rules of cinema manners is to get a DVD and watch it at home. But we all know that the best way to enjoy the art of cinematography is on the big screen.What about you? What annoys you about other people at the cinema?( )1. What is considered by Simon to be the rudest at a cinema?A. Using mobile phones.B. Chatting to their friends.C. Taking the shoes off.D. Having drinks and eating popcorn.( )2." " is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 7.A. Don't break the rules!B. Manners are important!C. Just stay at home!D. It's your choice!( 3. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. popular CinemasB. A Serious ProblemC. Cinema MannersD. An Unpleasant Experience二、阅读理解From a young age，I've had a really deep connection with being outside. I've been skiing since I was eight or nine years old. I've been on expeditions(探险)in many places like China, Pakistan axed so on. But it was in my home country，the USA，that I came closest to death.It was April 1，2011. I was skiing in the Tetons with my friends Jeremy and Xavier，both experienced snowboarders. That day, I was the last person to ski. They were watching me from a safe area. Suddenly, I heard someone cry loudly. I turned around and saw the whole mountain start to move behind me. It was a massive avalanche(大雪崩).The kind of avalanche that destroys trees, cars，buses，even houses!Tens of thousands of tons of snow were coming straight down the mountain behind me. I felt the snow push rne forward，hundreds of metres，and then cover me, It was so heavy that I couldn't breathe. And then it pushed me forward again and up，out of the snowpack. I looked around，and for a few seconds I actually stopped being terrified. I had a moment to pause and to look at the power of the avalanche.I looked down into the bottom of the valley(峡谷).I could see trees that were 30m tall. Because I was so far away, they looked tiny to me."OK，I' m going all the way to the bottom!”I thought. Then the snow pushed me again down the xriountain another 450m. I thought the force of the snow would destroy me，it was powerful. But in the end，I felt the avalanche slow down and I just popped(迸出)right out of the snow at the bottom of the valley.It took Jeremy and Xavier about 20 minutes to reach me. There was a pile of debris(碎片) across the bottom of the mountain 300m wide. They couldn't believe it when they saw me, I was so lucky,Has the experience changed me? Do I think about life differently? I don't know, maybe. but I do know that it's important to live your life with meaning. Life is a gift，so use it wisely.( )1. What impressed the writer most in his skiing experience is .A. the power of snowB. the sight of the valleyC. the danger of poppingD. the luck of his expedition( )2. The underlined word "they" refers to .A. the mountainsB. the treesC. Jeremy and XavierD. piles of debris( )3 .From the passage，it's true that .A. the writer came closest to death when he skied in PakistanB. the avalanche pushed the writer down about 300m awayC. the writer's friends watched him at the bottom of the valleyD. the writer couldn't breathe because of the weight of the snow( ）5. According to the writer，..A. his experience and his friends have changed himB. it's impossible to know the force of snowC. one should not live a meaningless lifeD. he doesn't mind the matter of life or death三、There is a popular Chinese saying that "Fair skin(皮肤)will make up for three flaws(缺陷)". This mentions the fact that in Chinese culture，it is believed that people who have fair skin are more beautiful. In Western culture，however，the opposite is true-many Westerners think tanned skin is prettier. The example shows that different cultures have different ideas of what they think is beautiful. These cultural meanings of beauty, however，are no longer important. As more end more people travel overseas，ideas about beauty rare being shared among cultures. The Internet has alsomade it easier for people to share different types of beauty since people are always posting pictures on social media. The result is an ever-changing idea of what is considered beautiful.The cultural practice of ear piercings, for example，has become a part of modern day culture. In Kenya，it is a tradition among the Masai men and women to pierce and then make their ear lobes(耳垂)longer using ivory, wood or stones. They then wear colourful things on their ear lobes. This is a common practice since longer ear lobes are seen as a sign of beauty. This tradition has now found its way into present-day culture. Nowadays，this might still seem unusual to some，but with more and more well-known actors and film stars showing off their longer ear lobes，it will finally become more fashionable.It is understood that different cultures around the world have different ways of showing beauty. However，since we now live in a worldwide society, people's views about beauty are always changing. With the help of the Internet，people are now able to easily borrow ideas from other cultures to help them stand out. So what new fashions can we expect to see in the future? ( )1 .What has made it easier for people to share ideas about beauty?A.The development of technology.B.The popularity of the latest fashions.C.The unchanged cultural traditions.D.The world's growing population.( )2. What can be learned about the Masai people from the passage?A. Longer ear lobes are their new fashion.B. Only women make their ear lobes longer.C. They think longer ear lobes look beautiful.D. They make actors and film stars famous.( )3. The underlined word"them" in the last paragraph refers to .A. peopleB. ideasC. culturesD. fashions( )4. What is the passage mainly about?A. People in Asian countries like fair skin better.B. Beauty is considered important in many cultures.C. Different cultures have different ideas about beauty.D. People's ideas about beauty are changing all the time.四、阅读理解A young woman turns around and around quickly, and jumps high. In thebackground，a young girl reads a rejection(拒绝)letter from a ballet school. "You have the wrong body for ballet，" it says，"and at thirteen，you are too old." This was one of the most popular advertisements(广告)of 2014 and it describes American Ballet Theatre's principal(主要的)dancer Misty Copeland.This was not a real letter. But Copeland says it is very similar to letters from her childhood. While many dancers start at the age of three，Copeland only began to study ballet in 1995 as a thirteen-year-old. People often told her that she was too old，or that she didn't have the perfect body type(She is only 157 cm tall). Her family moved a lot，and it was sometimes difficult for her to attend ballet classes. But Copeland loved dancing and did not want to give up. She stayed with her ballet teacher during the week and spent time with her family only at the weekend. This was a difficult life，but she worked hard and won her first national competition when she was fourteen years old. Copeland joined the American Ballet Theatre in 2000 and performed in many ballets over the next few years. In 2007, she became a solo(单独的)performer, and in 2015 she became its principal dancer.Copeland is now a dancer, author and Broadway performer. She also starred in the 2015 film A Ballerina's Tale .So what's next? According to Copeland, anything is possible: "My career(职业)really is just now beginning."( )1 .How old was Copeland when she became the principal dancer?A. 13.B. 14.C. 25.D. 33.( )2. Why was it difficult for Copeland to attend ballet classes?A. Because her family moved a lot.B. Because she was not a good dancer.C. Because she had no invitation letter.D. Because she had the wrong body type.( )3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Copeland became successful because of the advertisement.B. Copeland had to spend a lot of time away from her parents.C. Copeland won her first national competition as a solo performer.D. Copeland has ended up her career as an actress on Broadway.( )4. What's the writer's opinion of Copeland?A. Copeland sets an example who never gives up.B. Copeland was too old to start ballet at thirteen.C. Copeland has made her achievements by accident.D. Copeland was lucky to get support from the ballet school.五、【阅读理解】It's rare a Chinese movie wins the audience's hearts with an emotionally national pride，rather than by showing off his or her good looks，which made it a great success．But Wolf Warrior II，《战狼2》is putting China in the global spotlight．It's also the first film to taste success both in terms of box office earnings and promoting Chinese values．The film broke the box office records，including the biggest single﹣day gross for a Chinese film as well as the fastest film to cross RMB 2billion，3billion，4billion and 5billion box office marks．It also became the second （and fastest）film to surpass US﹣500million and the first film to gross more than US﹣600million at the Chinese box office．At a total domestic gross of CN¥5.67billion （USD﹣880.1million），it is the 2nd highest﹣grossing film of all﹣time in a single market behind only Star Wars：The Force Awakens（﹣936.7million in North America），and having exceeded North America's totals from Avatar （﹣760million），Titanic （﹣659million）and Jurassic World （﹣652million）．Wolf Warrior II links art to reality，and reminds people of the massive evacuation of Chinese people from Libya when civil war broke out there in 2011，and from Yemen in 2015，as well as the challenges the Ebola virus created in West Africa from 2013to 2016．The film describes how the Chinese government aims to protect overseas Chinese citizens．Just as the message at the end of the film reads："Citizens of the People's Republic of China．When you encounter danger in a foreign land，do not give up! Please remember，at your back stands a strong motherland．"Thanks to China's increasing participation in global affairs，now could be considered the right moment to introduce a modern Chinese hero．"Holding up a banner of peace，friendship and responsibility，Wolf Warrior II should be seen as a brave effort to promote Chinese values around the world，"columnist Zhu Ping wrote in China Daily．"It's time Chinese filmmakers produced films that tell good stories and carry the right spirit．Let us assume Wolf Warrior II has started that trend．"1．What reason makes Wolf Warrior II a great success？A．Its hero's good appearance．B．Its character's performing skillC．It aroused people's national prideD．The inspiring story plot2．In the second paragraph，the writer's opinion is made believable mainly by ．A．telling stories B．making comparisonsC．asking questions D．using figures3．We know from the text that ．A．Wolf Warrior II start the trend of carrying good story and spiritB．China seldom participated in the global affairs nowC．the plot of Wolf Warrior II is based on a fictionD．Chinese values have been widely accepted around the world4．Where is the passage most probably taken from a news paper？A．economy B．entertainment C．sports D．science．六、【阅读理解】Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living.

I'm on my way to a hospice(临终关怀医院).I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long. "I quietly shut off the meter. "What route would you like me to take?" I asked. For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighbourhood where she and her husband had lived，the place where she danced as a girl. As the sun was rising, she asked me to go to the address she had given me."How much do I owe you?" she asked, reaching into her purse."Nothing, " I said."You have to make a living, " she answered."There are other passengers. ""You gave an old woman a little moment of joy, " she said. "Thank you. "I drove into the fine morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life.

There's only one place, and that's Hollywood, in California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are filmsets(布景) in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies in the USA.A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories. Hollywood isn't quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones.The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay at home to watch series, like Dynasty, which have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These "soap opera", as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.Though it is soap operas that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new centre, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don't need Hollywood any more. Modern cameras and real houses replace expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost.But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.( )1.

Later, red envelopes replaced the red strings.Now, red envelopes are more like a way to socialize(与..交往）with others. When you give ared envelope, just as what everyone else does, you fell part of the circle.But this tradition also has its downsides. Most young people, who have just started theircareers, can’t afford to give a lot of money. They feel stressed. Of course you can choose not to doso. But you may slowly find yourself out of some social activities.Some people are calling for a change to the tradition. They discuss that we don’t have money to show our good wishes.

This meant that one child could not play all the scenes. They took it in turns to film the scenes as Michelle. The twins looked so alike that for a long time viewers of the programme did not know that there were two of them. Full House was on TV for eight years. The twins became celebrities.A business was set up to take advantage of their popularity. Mary-Kate and Ashley products including fashion dolls, videos, books, clothes and perfumes were sold all over the world. The twins’ products were very popular with young girls.

Traveling can improve our thinking skills.That’s WHY we travel. What follows is HOW we travel.CHEAP TRA VELThe less you spend, the closer you come to the reason you came.We’re savers by choice when traveling, although we could afford to stay in middle-priced hotels and eat in their restaurants if we cut back on the length of our trips. By spending less we can travel longer and travel better. We meet more locals by using buses rather than taxis and by staying in small family-run hotels and eating in local-style cafes. Spending too much money makes you away from the foreign experience you came to have.TRA VELERS --- NOT TOURISTSWhat’s the difference? Travelers are more likely to get deeper into the life of a country than tourists. The way to do this is to do lots of pre-trip reading about the countries we will visit, and try to learn a few words of local languages.Independent travel is usually far less expensive than packaged tours. We don’t use travel agents because we don’t stay in hotels that charge high, and we can get cheaper tickets on the Internet. We like figuring out where to eat and working out how to get around. This puts us into direct contact with the local people. Independent travel isn’t as comfortable or convenient, but it’s the most meaningful way to travel.MOVING AROUNDDespite its discomforts, we take public transportation whenever possible. Traveling in a car is easier, but also scarier. In much of the world roads are poor and driving behaviors are not fixed. Luckily, even the less developed countries often have good public transportation systems, riding buses and trains brings us into close contact with the local people.CARRYING STUFF(东西)Backpacks work better for long-term travel than the wheeled luggage(轮式行李箱) most middle-aged travelers use. Using luggage is fine with a car, but backpacks are easier for bus and train travel. Best of all, wearing backpacks bridge the gap between age groups ---allowing gray-haired travelers like us to make friends with younger travelers.答案：1.Why 2.discuss 3.choose 4.longer 5.understanding 6.prepare 7.meaningful 8.closely 9.prefer 10.bridge（B）It’s a big challenge for you to complete any personal goal in time. And it always seems that you won’t have enough time to finish all you need to do. Do you know the way to make the time for your goal? Here are some tips which may help you.Focus on(集中) one thing at a time. Remember not to take on too many goals at a time, or your energy will be used up soon. Once one goal is finished, you can go to the next one. Set up at least a month per goal.Prioritize(优先处理)the most important. We have more than one thing to complete. If we put all the things before our goal, we won’t ever find the time for it. If we put our goal at the first place, we’ll make the time.Keep your goal simple. It’s important not to make your goal too difficult. If you want to be slim, for example, you just need to develop the habit for your health, walking each day (or running, or cycling etc), drinking more water, eating fruits and vegetables instead of junk snacks.Close your door. Try to set a time that you won’t be disturbed (打扰). If you are disturbed from time to time, you really don't have the time to help out. So you must shut your door when working on the most important tasks. If so, you will get them done better.Stop wasting time. In our daily life, there are many things wasting your time, such as watching drama series and going to bars. If you don’t do them, it won’t make a great difference to your life. So stop doing them to free up time for your goals.If you follow the above, you will succeed in achieving your goal.答案：1.make 2.tips/advice/suggestions e 4.first 5.simple 6.healthy 7.avoid 8.closed 9.waste 10.followed四、首字母填空（A）Many hundreds of years age, a native（土著的）American chief named Shenandoah lived with his people in what is now the state of Virginia．Very l___1___ is known about Shenandoah，but the soft sound of his name was given to a river．The Shenandoah River still runs in a d___2___ valley（山谷）between the mountains in West Virginia，just as it did when Chief Shenandoah lived．There is an old story which tells how the river got its name．A long time ago, many c___3___ before Europeans went to live in America，there was a great lake hidden in the mountains of Virginia．For hundreds of years，the native Americans lived near this lake，feeding on the f___4___ the caught in its clean waters．They often climbed up the mountains and set up camp there d___5___ their long hunts for food．In the evenings they sat near their camp and looked d___6___ at the beautiful lake．On a clear，starry night you could see thousands of stars s___7___ and dancing on the water below．The native Americans loved this lake，and because they could see the stars in it，they called the lake，"Clear Daughter of the Stars．"In their l___8___，the word for this was"Shenandoah．"One day there was a loud crashing sound at one end of the lake.

Unit 4 Growing up单元话题阅读理解练习（2023·江苏苏州·统考一模）It is a fact that people die every moment of every day. However, the deaths of those who have done great work in the public realm (领域) can be especially shocking and heartbreaking — even to those who don’t know them personallyOn Jan. 26, Kobe Bryant, one of the most legendary (传奇的) NBA players in history, died in a terrible accident. He was 41 years old when a helicopter he was riding crashed, killing him and eight others, including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant.Following Bryant’s death, people have paid tribute (敬意) to the basketball superstar — not just for his achievements on the court, but also for his personality and the inspiration he has given to us.In the basketball world, Bryant ranks among the top players of all time. He centered the NBA directly from high school as a basketball prodigy (神童) . He played his whole 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers and helped the team win five NBA championships. He was fast, skillful and aggressive (进攻性的) , which earned him the nickname Black Mamba, one of the most deadly snakes in the world. That’s why his competitive philosophy (哲学) is known as the “Mamba Mentality”.“Mamba mentality is you’re going, you’re competing, you’re not worried about the end result.” Bryant said, “It’s all about focusing on the process and trusting in the hard work when it matters most.”Off the court, Bryant was known as a successful businessman, an Oscar-winning filmmaker, and a proud father of four daughters.The fact that Bryant is no longer with us is sad. We’ll never see him give another interview or play in another game. But the work he has done will keep inspiring us years after his death.1．What do we know about Kobe Bryant?A．Not many people have focused on his death.B．He was successful in many fields.C．The terrible accident killed 8 people.D．He entered NBA after graduating from university.2．Bryant’s “Mamba Mentality” shows that he was _______.a. hard-workingb. successfulc. competitived. focusingA．abc B．abd C．bed D．acd3．How does the author feel about Bryant’s death?A．Bored.B．Sad.C．Inspired.D．Grateful.4．Where can you read this passage most probably?A．In a guidebook.B．In a fashion magazine.C．In a newspaper.D．In a cookbook.（2023春·江苏扬州·九年级校联考阶段练习）Francesca Jones, a 20-year-old UK tennis player, won her final qualifying match(资格赛) in Dubai, making herself get a place in the 2021 Australian Open(澳网公开赛).This win has helped her to quash her doubters who believed that she would never be able to play the sport as a professional(职业运动员) because of her disability. Jones was born with only four fingers on each of her hands. She had to be operated on many times at a very young age. Her win is the result of her hard work and deep love for tennis, a love which she found while a child in her hometown of Leeds in the UK.In the summer of 2005, Jones’s parents researched some of the organized activities that their 5-year-old daughter could take part in. They came across the Heaton Tennis and Squash Club, which was at the time hosting a four-day tennis camp. Jones attended the camp, where she met her first coach Matt McTurk. From there, her love for the sport quickly developed.Believing in her abilities to become a professional, Jones booked more lessons at the club. She accepted the challenges that being born with disabilities had created for her. As time went on, Jones became one of the top players in her hometown. Her family considered moving to Barcelona, where Jones could attend the Sanchez-Casal Academy(学院), whose coaches had trained several top tennis players. She fell in love with the city and the Academy as soon as she arrived. Training four to five hours a day, Jones showed a talent at the sport that had quickly made her different from her competitors(竞争对手). Emilio Sanchez, who set up the Academy, remembers Jones had a strong sense for where competitors were going to hit the ball. This talent gave Jones an advantage over others.Ranking No. 241 in the world, Jones has bigger dreams than just qualifying for the 2021 Australian Open. She hopes to use this achievement as encouragement for people who are facing their own doubts and challenges. “I hope my message of ‘ ________’ will get out there,” said Jones. “Even if I could make a limited influence, that would mean a lot to me.”5．The underlined word “quash” in Paragraph 2 means ________.A．refuse B．respect C．prevent D．support6．The right order of the following statements about Jones’s tennis career is ________.①Jones got herself a place in the 2021 Australian Open.①Jones met her coach Matt McTurk and showed interest in tennis.①Jones attended the Sanchez-Casal Academy.①Jones became one of the top players in her hometown.A．①①①①B．①①①①C．①①①① D．①①①①7．Which of the following sentences is NOT TRUE?A．Jones was born with two fingers missing.B．Jones has a gift for changing a ball’s direction.C．Jones began to play tennis at five.D．Jones hopes to encourage people who are facing doubts and challenges.8．Which of the following best completes the blank in the last paragraph?A．A miss is as good as a mile B．Know your limitsC．Don’t limit yourself D．Follow your weakness（2023春·江苏盐城·九年级校联考阶段练习）The 2022 Qatar World Cup brought us wonderful games and let us see the great show of old legends and the rise of new superstars. Here are three students’ favourite soccer players.Kylian Mbappe, who is a sports hero in France, is the most impressive player in my heart. He won the 2018 World Cup title at the age of 20. He was the highest goal scorer in this World Cup with eight goals. Will he become the new king of soccer? I think so. The reasons are that he trains hard and never gives up when facing difficulty. And he is indeed no solo (单独行动的) artist，either. His spirit of hard work and teamwork cheers me up.Zhao Xuanyu, 14My deepest impression of the Qatar World Cup belongs to Lionel Messi, the captain of Argentina. As a great team, it was surprising when Argentina lost its first game against Saudi Arabia. People started to doubt Messi’s ability. However, Messi didn’t give up. He believed in himself and his teammates. They practiced harder than before and fixed their problems quickly. Finally, Argentina beat Mexico, Poland, Australia, the Netherlands, Croatia and France, and won the World Cup title. From all this, I now believe that where there is a will, there is a way.Huang Yixiang, 15I’m a huge fan of Luka Modric, the captain of Croatia’s national soccer team. He led his team to win second place in the 2018 Russia World Cup and he won the Ballon d’ Or in the same year. At an early age, he was a shepherd (牧羊人) and his country was experiencing war. But he fell in love with soccer. Through his efforts, he became more and more powerful. In the Qatar World Cup, he led his team to third place, but he believes that his country can win a World Cup title in the future. I not only enjoy his wonderful performance, but also hisspirit—never give up and always keep his condition.Lu Yinzi, 159．Which soccer player is from Croatia?A．Lionel Messi.B．Kylian Mbappe.C．Luka Modric.D．Cristiano Ronaldo.10．What do the three players have in common?A．They never give up.B．They are all solo artists.C．They are all from Europe.D．They all won the World Cup title.11．Which of the following is true according to the article?A．Messi always won the game by himself.B．Argentina beat 5 teams in the 2022 Qatar World Cup. C．Luka Modric lived a poor life when he was very young.D．Kylian Mbappe scored 6 goals in the 2022 Qatar World Cup.（2022秋·江苏泰州·九年级统考期末）After winning gold with three perfect scores in the women’s 10-metre platform final, QuanHongchan’s interviews and moving stories of growing up have caused the public’s imagination(想象).She admitted(承认) that speaking in front of the cameras made her even more nervous than jumping off the platform at the Olympics.“ I just want to eat a lot of delicious food, like spicy gluten strips(辣条),” said Quan after winning gold. “I’m clumsy(笨拙的), and I’m not good at study.

He is 1.75m tall. “In NBA, he looks like a fourth-grader among a group of high school students,” according to The Atlantic.How can he compete（竞争）with them?

新译林9AUNIT1英语课外趣味阅读及练习题课外趣味阅读复活节(Easter)在多数西方国家(western countries)里，复活节一样要举行盛大的宗教(religion)游行(parade)。
游行者身穿长袍(robe)，手持十字架(Latin Cross)，赤足前进。
他们打扮成基督教(Christianism)历史人物，唱着颂歌(canticle)欢庆耶稣复活(revival)。
现在节日游行已失去旧日浓厚的宗教色彩。
节日游行洋溢着喜庆的气氛，具有浓郁的民间(folk)特色和地址(local)特色。
在美国，游行队伍中即有身穿牛仔服(Jeans Wear)踩高跷的(stilted)小丑，也有活泼可爱的卡通人物米老鼠(Mickey Mouse)。
在英国，游行多以介绍本地的历史和风土人情(local conditions and customs)为主，游行者扮装成(make up)为苏格兰风笛(Bagpipe)乐队(band)和皇宫卫士，吸引了众多的游客。
复活节的到来还令人们纷纷换上新衣。
过去基督教教徒会在节前去教堂行洗礼(baptism)，然后穿上自己的新袍，庆贺基督的新生。
穿着一新的风俗保留至今，因为人们以为节日里不穿新衣是要倒运的。
复活节期间，人们还喜爱完全打扫自己的住处，表示新生活从此开始。

新译林9AUNIT5英语课外趣味阅读及练习题课外趣味阅读生日蛋糕的由来中古时期的欧洲人相信，生日是灵魂最容易被恶魔入侵的日子，所以在生日当天，亲人朋友都会齐聚身边给予祝福，并且赠送蛋糕以带来好运，驱逐恶魔。
生日蛋糕，最初是只有国王才有资格享有，流传到现在，不论是大人或小孩，都可以在生日时，买个漂亮的蛋糕，享受众人给予的祝福。
最早的蛋糕是用几样简单的材料做出来的，这些蛋糕是古老宗教神话与奇迹式迷信的象征。
早期的贸易路线使异国香料由远东向北输入，坚果、花露水、柑橘类水果、枣与无花果从中东引进，甘蔗则从东方国家与南方国家进口。
在欧洲黑暗时代，这些珍奇的原料只有僧侣与贵族才能享有，而他们的糕点创作则是蜂蜜姜饼以及扁平硬饼干之类的东西。
慢慢地，随着贸易往来的频繁，西方国家的饮食习惯也跟着彻底地改变了。
从十字军东征返家的士兵和阿拉伯的商人，把香料的运用和中东的食谱散播开来。
在中欧几个主要的商业重镇，烘焙师傅的同业公会也组织了起来。
而在中世纪末，香料已被欧洲各地的富有人家广为使用，更增进了想像力丰富的糕点烘焙技术。
等到坚果和糖大肆流行时，杏仁糖泥也跟着大众化起来，这种杏仁糖泥是用木雕的凸版模子烤出来的，而模子上的图案则与宗教训诫多有关联。

This meant that one child could not play all the scenes. They took it in turns to film the scenes as Michelle. The twins looked so alike that for a long time viewers of the programme did not know that there were two of them. Full House was on TV for eight years. The twins became celebrities.A business was set up to take advantage of their popularity.

Traveling can improve our thinking skills.That’s WHY we travel. What follows is HOW we travel.CHEAP TRA VELThe less you spend, the closer you come to the reason you came.We’re savers by choice when traveling, although we could afford to stay in middle-priced hotels and eat in their restaurants if we cut back on the length of our trips. By spending less we can travel longer and travel better. We meet more locals by using buses rather than taxis and by staying in small family-run hotels and eating in local-style cafes. Spending too much money makes you away from the foreign experience you came to have.TRA VELERS --- NOT TOURISTSWhat’s the difference? Travelers are more likely to get deeper into the life of a country than tourists. The way to do this is to do lots of pre-trip reading about the countries we will visit, and try to learn a few words of local languages.Independent travel is usually far less expensive than packaged tours. We don’t use travel agents because we don’t stay in hotels that charge high, and we can get cheaper tickets on the Internet. We like figuring out where to eat and working out how to get around. This puts us into direct contact with the local people. Independent travel isn’t as comfortable or convenient, but it’s the most meaningful way to travel.MOVING AROUNDDespite its discomforts, we take public transportation whenever possible. Traveling in a car is easier, but also scarier. In much of the world roads are poor and driving behaviors are not fixed. Luckily, even the less developed countries often have good public transportation systems, riding buses and trains brings us into close contact with the local people.CARRYING STUFF(东西)Backpacks work better for long-term travel than the wheeled luggage(轮式行李箱) most middle-aged travelers use. Using luggage is fine with a car, but backpacks are easier for bus and train travel. Best of all, wearing backpacks bridge the gap between age groups ---allowing gray-haired travelers like us to make friends with younger travelers.答案：1.Why 2.discuss 3.choose 4.longer 5.understanding 6.prepare 7.meaningful 8.closely 9.prefer 10.bridge（B）It’s a big challenge for you to complete any personal goal in time. And it always seems that you won’t have enough time to finish all you need to do. Do you know the way to make the time for your goal? Here are some tips which may help you.Focus on(集中) one thing at a time. Remember not to take on too many goals at a time, or your energy will be used up soon. Once one goal is finished, you can go to the next one. Set up at least a month per goal.Prioritize(优先处理)the most important. We have more than one thing to complete. If we put all the things before our goal, we won’t ever find the time for it. If we put our goal at the first place, we’ll make the time.Keep your goal simple. It’s important not to make your goal too difficult. If you want to be slim, for example, you just need to develop the habit for your health, walking each day (or running, or cycling etc), drinking more water, eating fruits and vegetables instead of junk snacks.Close your door. Try to set a time that you won’t be disturbed (打扰). If you are disturbed from time to time, you really don't have the time to help out. So you must shut your door when working on the most important tasks. If so, you will get them done better.Stop wasting time. In our daily life, there are many things wasting your time, such as watching drama series and going to bars. If you don’t do them, it won’t make a great difference to your life. So stop doing them to free up time for your goals.If you follow the above, you will succeed in achieving your goal.答案：1.make 2.tips/advice/suggestions e 4.first 5.simple 6.healthy 7.avoid 8.closed 9.waste 10.followed四、首字母填空（A）Many hundreds of years age, a native（土著的）American chief named Shenandoah lived with his people in what is now the state of Virginia．Very l___1___ is known about Shenandoah，but the soft sound of his name was given to a river．The Shenandoah River still runs in a d___2___ valley（山谷）between the mountains in West Virginia，just as it did when Chief Shenandoah lived．There is an old story which tells how the river got its name．A long time ago, many c___3___ before Europeans went to live in America，there was a great lake hidden in the mountains of Virginia．For hundreds of years，the native Americans lived near this lake，feeding on the f___4___ the caught in its clean waters．They often climbed up the mountains and set up camp there d___5___ their long hunts for food．In the evenings they sat near their camp and looked d___6___ at the beautiful lake．On a clear，starry night you could see thousands of stars s___7___ and dancing on the water below．The native Americans loved this lake，and because they could see the stars in it，they called the lake，"Clear Daughter of the Stars．"In their l___8___，the word for this was"Shenandoah．"One day there was a loud crashing sound at one end of the lake.

A.calm B.popular C.stressed D.modest 答案：BBCBD CDBCBWhy does the sky change colors？What is the sky？How high is it？What color is it？What birds can live above it？These questions are difficult to answer，aren't they？In fact，the sky has no color．Then why does the sky look blue？We know that there is air around the world．When planes fly，they need air to lift their wings．Planes can't fly very high．That is because the air gets thinner when they go higher．The same will happen to us if we go high enough．If we go up about 1，200 kilometers from the earth，we'll find no air there．Some birds can fly into the sky as high as a plane，but they cannot fly or live without air．Looking up above us，you will see the blue sky with white clouds．It is usually light blue．The color would be bluer when you see on the top of a high mountain．And you will see fewer clouds in the sky between you and the sun．Sometimes the sky doesn't look blue．When the sun rises and falls，you will see red orange，and other colurs in the sky．Such are the most beautiful moments of the day．Who can see the colors of the sky high above the earth？The astronauts!They can see those beautiful colors of the sky from the outer space．However，before flying into outer space，they sit in a spaceship high above the earth，and there is no air at all．The sky would be that dark and its color would be black．Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters（使散射）the sunlight．Light travels through the air．Without air，there would be no light or colors．1.Planes can't fly as high as possible because___．A．the sky is blueB．the wings are heavierC．the sky has no colorD．the air becomes thinner2.When you stand on the top of a high mountain，you will see___．A．more airB．bluer skiesC．more colorsD．more clouds3.In Huzhou，we might see many colors in the sky at___during the day．A.6：00a．m．B.9：00a．m．C.1：00p．m．D.3：00p．m．4.The sky changes colors because___．A．it's colorful itselfB．the world is colorfulC．the air has colorsD．the air scatters the sunlight．答案：DBADSometimes, when all our doubts, fears and anxiety fill ourselves up, we always come up with the idea of “I wish I was somebody else.”We often believe that someone or rather, most people are better than us –when in actual, the fact is, most people are more frightened than us.We look at a young successful businessman and say “Wooh…what else could he ask for?”He looks at himself at the mirror and talks to himself, “I hate my big eyes…I wonder why my friends won’t talk to me.”Isn’t it funny? We look at other people, envy (羡慕) them for looking so unusually perfect and wish we could trade places with them, while they look at us and think of the same thing.I have a friend who never gets tired of talking. And in most conversations, she is the only one who seems to be interested in the things she has to say. So all of our other friends don’t like to be in the circles whenever she’s around.One key to self-improvement is to LISTEN and TALK to a trusted friend. Find someone who you find comforts in opening up with even the gentlest topics you want to discuss. Ask questions like “Do I talk too loud?”, “Does my breath smell?”, “Do I ever bore you when we’re together?”Lend her your ears for comments and don’t give her answers like “Don’t exaggerate (夸大)! That’s just the way I am!”One of Whitney Houston’s songs says “Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.”True enough! In order to love others, you must love yourself too. Remember, you cannot give what you do not have. Self-improvement makes us better people, we then inspire (鼓舞) other people, and then the rest of the world will follow.Stop thinking of yourselves as second-rate beings (二等人). Forget the thought of “If only I was richer…if only I was thinner”and so on. Accepting your true self is the first step to self-improvement.Nobody is perfect. We always wish we had better things, better features, better body parts, etc. But life need not be perfect for people to be happy about themselves.Self-improvement and loving yourself is not a matter of shouting to the whole world that you are perfect and you are the best. It’s the virtue (美德) of acceptance and contentment (知足). When we begin to improve ourselves, we then begin.1.The writer mentions the successful businessman in Paragraph 2 to show that ______.A．most people are unsatisfied with themselvesB．most people hate themselvesC．the businessman hates his big eyesD．the businessman admires himself2.What is the key to solving the businessman’s problem?A．He needs to be satisfied with himself.B．He needs to envy other people.C．He needs to accept himself first.D．He needs to be confident.3.The writer probably agrees that ______.A．you should let others know that you are perfectB．if you want to be happy, you must be perfectC．people should change themselves into othersD．people who accept themselves will become better4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Accept Yourself B．Improve YourselfC．Inspire Yourself D．Love Yourself答案：ACDBWhy are red, orange, and yellow considered to be "warm colours"? Because they have the psychological effect (心理作用) of making us warm. These colours have the connection with fire, heat, and sunshine. These colours are very eye-catching.Red makes people have an exciting mood. It is the colour of passion (热情) and power. Orange makes people have a friendly, inviting mood. It is lively and happy, more welcoming and attractive. Yellow makes people enthusiastic (热情的). It is the colour of sunshine, and it attracts attention.The "cool colours" --green, blue, and purple, have the psychological effect of making us cool because of the connection with deep water, open sky, or maybe mountains in the distance. These colours are excellent choices for backgrounds.Green sets a content mood. It is the colour of nature and growth. And in our culture it also has the connection with money. Blue has a peaceful and calm mood. It can also be cold like ice, or calm like a lake. Purple makes people mysterious (神秘的). It can also make people elegant or playful.答案：1.orange 2.warm 3.attract 4.purple 5.cool6.What7.nature8.growth9.peaceful 10.calmParrots are green. Goldfish are red. Elephants are gray. Pigs are pink.

A baby shower is a party where a pregnant(怀孕的)woman is "showered" with gifts and good wishes. A baby shower is usually given by a close female friend or a relative of the mother-to-be. Sometimes co-workers of a pregnant person will also hold a baby shower for her.The baby shower is usually given when the mother-to-be is between 6 and 9 months pregnant. Predicting the date of a baby's birth isn't always exact. Sometimes a baby shower can also happen after the baby is born. A baby shower can be held in someone's home or outside，like in a restaurant or a catering hall. Traditionally only women are invited to a baby shower. However, more and more baby showers are also including the father-to-be.Like a bridal shower, a mother-to-be will register(登记)a wish list of things she wants at one or several stores. This list usually includes things the mother wants for her baby like clothes，diapers and even furniture. This way friends and family members can go to the stores and buy something from the list. Registering helps make sure that there aren't repeat items，like 30 bottles when a new mom only needs 15.At a baby shower, people can give cards with wishes for the new baby and mom. Most of these cards also include money or gift cards to help the mom-to-be buy whatever else she needs for the baby. Sometimes there are games as well.

It describes skyscrapersthat are much taller than today's buildings, underwater "bubble" cities and holidays in space. The report is from a company, It asked experts(专家)on space and architecture, as well as city planners, to give their ideas on the life in 2116. They said the way we live，work and play will be totally different to how we do these things today. The experts used the Internet as an example. They said that 25 years ago，people could not imagine how the Internet and smartphones would change our lives. The Internet has completely changed the way we communicate，learn and dodaily things. The experts said the changes in the next century would be even more unbelievable.Researchers questioned 2，000 adults about the prediction they thought were most likely(很可能的)to happen in the future. They predicted that in the future，few people will go to an office but will work from home and have work meetings online. People will have highly developed 3-D printers that will let you download(下载)a design for furniture or a food recipe and then "print" the sofa，table or pizza at home.

The passage is most probably from .A. an advertisementB. a newspaperC. a detective storyD. a health reportDMarch 16 is International Sleep Day. And we should all celebrate the act of sleeping. Researchers say sleep is probably the best tool we have for memory and learning. But what about getting rest during the middle of the day?A recent study on napping(小睡) says short periods of sleep may help our brains work better. Past studies have shown that napping can help babies and young children learn better. And napping can help brain performance in older adults. Taking a nap may also help this group of people fight off memory loss because of the increase in their age.Many Americans do nap. But one-third of all adults in the United States are also chronically(长期的) tired, says the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It found that 50 million to 70 million Americans have chronic sleep disorders. However, they seem to be unwilling to tell people that they take a nap. They may think that napping shows they are weak or they don’t have enough energy. It is not an uncommon opinion that only children, the very old, sick or lazy people nap. In fact, Americans sometimes do a very strange thing. Some people brag about how few hours of sleep they need each night to show that they are somehow stronger than the average human–superhuman, if you will. However, that may be changing. Many offices now offer napping rooms and napping cafes(咖啡馆) are appearing in many U.S. cities, including Washington, D.C.Remember that an hour long nap may be too long for young, healthy adults. It is recommended that 30 minut es is enough to remove the pressure(压力) to sleep and will help people feel more awake. If people nap longer, they will get trapped into deep sleep, which can be hard to get out of. If you have trouble falling asleep at night, limit your daytime nap to under 45 minutes. Also nap before 3 p.m.( ) 16. Who are this group of people in Paragraph 2?A. The babies.B. The children.C. The older adults.D. The young people.( ) 17. The underlined word brag in Paragraph 3 means .A. chat sadlyB. talk proudlyC. whisper secretlyD. speak politely( ) 18. What may Americans think of napping in the future?A. Healthy adults needn’t take a nap.B. They won’t tell others about their nap.C. It may be common for Americans to take a nap.D. Only the old, the sick and children need a nap.( ) 19. For a young man with sleep problems, it is good to __________.A. take a 40-minute-long noon napB. take a nap whenever he feels sleepyC. take an one-hour-long nap after dinnerD. take a 30-minute-long nap in the evening三、信息还原（七选五）It's important to learn how we can protect the environment. Here are 5 rules for us.ReduceIf you want to reduce waste，you should use things more wisely. 1 If everyone uses paper carelessly，soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted，and people don't know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the amount of waste we produce.ReuseYou should always think of reusing things before throwing them out. For example 2 In a family，you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.RecycleBottles，cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money. For example 3 The metal can be used to make new coke cans.Recover4 You have two choices：one is to throw the apples away，the second is to throw the rotten ones and keep the good ones. In this way，you are recovering the eatable parts of food.RepairIf one of the legs of your table is broken，you should repair it. If you want to buy something newer and better，it is better for you to sell the old item，or 5Learn the rules to protect our environment. Let's try our best to make the earth cleaner and more beautiful.A. give the clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor.B. coke cans are sent to a factory，where they are smashed flat and melted.C. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper.D. There are planted every year.E. give it to people who can use it after repairing it.F. Don't throw it away if you can use it.G.

复活节(Easter)
在多数西方国家(western countries)里，复活节一般要举行盛大的宗教(religion)游行(parade)。
游行者身穿长袍(robe)，手持十字架(Latin Cross)，赤足前进。
他们打扮成基督教(Christianism)历史人物，唱着颂歌(canticle)欢庆耶稣复活(revival)。
如今节日游行已失去往日浓厚的宗教色彩。
节日游行洋溢着喜庆的气氛，具有浓烈的民间(folk)特色和地方(local)特色。
在美国，游行队伍中即有身穿牛仔服(Jeans Wear)踩高跷的(stilted)小丑，也有活泼可爱的卡通人物米老鼠(Mickey Mouse)。
在英国，游行多以介绍当地的历史和风土人情(local conditions and customs)为主，游行者化装成(make up)为苏格兰风笛(Bagpipe)乐队(band)以及皇宫卫士，吸引了众多的游客。
复活节的到来还使人们纷纷换上新衣。
过去基督教教徒会在节前去教堂行洗礼(baptism)，然后穿上自己的新袍，庆祝基督的新生。
穿戴一新的习俗保留至今，因为人们认为节日里不穿新衣是要倒运的。
复活节期间，人们还喜欢彻底打扫自己的住处，表示新生活从此开始。

Before Christmas Mr. Smith broke his right leg and had to stay in hospital. When he was there, he always asked his doctor when he could go home. He didn’t like to spend Christmas in hospital. Though the doctor did his best, Mr. Smith didn’t get better. So on Christmas Day he was still in hospital. He spent a bad day in bed thinking that he missed a lot of fun on such a happy day.
The next day the doctor told him that he might be well enough to leave hospital in time for the New Year. Mr. Smith was very happy to think that he would spend New Year’s Day outside hospital. Soon Mr. Smith left hospital and on New Year’s Eve he went to a party. He enjoyed himself there. But he drank too much. On his way home that night, he had a fall and broke his left leg. What an unlucky man he
was!
