It opens doors to new worlds, exposes us to different cultures, and enriches our imagination. As we delve into the pages of a book, we embark on a journey of discovery, learning, and sometimes even self-reflection. In the following article, we explore the various benefits of reading, particularly for junior high school students in their first semester of Grade 9.Firstly, reading improves academic performance. Studies have shown that students who read regularly perform better in subjects like language arts, mathematics, and science. This is because reading enhances vocabulary, comprehension skills, and critical thinking abilities, all of which are essential for academic success.Secondly, reading fosters empathy and emotional intelligence. By stepping into the shoes of characters in books, students learn to understand and appreciate diverse perspectives. This not only broadens their minds but also cultivates empathy, allowing them to better connect with others.Moreover, reading reduces stress and promotes relaxation. In today’s fast-paced world, students often feel overwhelmed with academic pressure and social demands. A good book can provide an escape from reality, allowing the mind to unwind and recharge.Lastly, reading inspires creativity and imagination. The worlds created byauthors are boundless, and they inspire readers to think outside the box and imagine possibilities beyond their immediate surroundings. This can lead to new ideas, innovative solutions, and a lifelong love for learning. Questions:1.What is the main purpose of the passage?A)To entertain readers with interesting stories.B)To promote the benefits of reading for junior high school students.C)To criticize the lack of reading among students.D)To explain the history of reading.Answer: BExplanation: The passage explicitly states its purpose in the first paragraph by exploring the various benefits of reading, particularly for junior high school students in their first semester of Grade 9.2.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a benefit of reading?A)Improved academic performance.B)Increased stress levels.C)Cultivated empathy.D)Inspired creativity.Answer: BExplanation: The passage mentions several benefits of reading, including improved academic performance (A), cultivated empathy (C), and inspired creativity (D). However, it does not state that reading increases stress levels (B). In fact, it says the opposite, that reading reduces stress and promotes relaxation.3.How does reading help in developing empathy and emotional intelligence?A)By providing practical advice on how to interact with others.B)By allowing students to experience different perspectives through characters inbooks.C)By teaching students to memorize complex emotional terms.D)By encouraging students to engage in debates and arguments.Answer: BExplanation: The passage states that reading fosters empathy and emotionalintelligence by stepping into the shoes of characters in books, thereby learning tounderstand and appreciate diverse perspectives (B). This allows students to developempathy and better connect with others. The other options do not accurately describe how reading helps in developing empathy and emotional intelligence.三、完型填空（15分）Cloze Test (For Grade 9, First Semester, Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press Edition)Passage:It was a cold winter morning.

But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10：30 pm was not early. As usual, I read them a bedtime story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.After much effort, my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4：00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn't be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new treehouse Father Christmas had brought them this year.51．Why did the man feel nervous?A．Because he left the party too late.B．Because he was afraid of the darkness.C．Because he didn't know where the black bag was.D．Because he worried that others would discover his secret.52．The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.A．thieves B．parents C．children D．neighbours53．In what order did the man do the following?a.

D．Angry.BHave you ever got your lunch, but not known where to sit?To solve the problem, Natalie Hampton, 16, made an app called Sit With Us.It makes finding friends in the school canteen(食堂)very easy.Natalie is from Sherman Oaks, California, US.The free app went online on Sep.9.Students can sign up as “ambassadors”(大使) for a club.Then they can post “open lunch” events to invite others to join in.Natalie got the idea to create the app after she ate alone for her whole seventh grade year.The experience made her feel sad and she was even bullied(欺负)．She changed schools because of that.People may want to know why you don't just ask to sit down.Natalie said the app stops kids from being rejected in front of others.“This way it's v ery private.It's through the phone.No one else has to know.And you know that you're not going to the table，” she told NPR.So far, the app works well.“I had my first club meeting, and everyone was very excited.People are already posting open lunches at my school.So I'm very excited，” Natalie told NPR.56．Natalie Hampton made an app to solve the problem of________．A．having no idea when to have lunchB．having no friends to go out withC．feeling lonely without friends at schoolD．having no friends to have lunch with57．Natalie Hampton once changed her school because ________.A．she ate her lunch alone for a year and was bulliedB．she didn't like the food in the school canteenC．she was not welcomed in her classD．she has more friends in the new school58．What does the underlined word “rejected” in Paragraph 5 mean in Chinese?A．嘲笑B．惩罚C．拒绝D．戏弄59．According to the passage, we can learn that ________．A．we can get free lunch at school with the appB．we can share the lunch pictures on the appC．we need to pay some money to use the appD．we can easily find someone to sit with during lunch time60．Which word can be used to describe Natalie Hampton most?A．Brave. B．Creative. C．Kind. D．Polite.CA new rubbish sorting system (垃圾分类系统) has been put into use in Fangchengyuan Community in Beijing.Local people not only sort their rubbish, but also put QR codes (二维码) on it.“When the rubbish is collected and the codes are seen, I will get reward points to exchange for small gifts and even some money，” one of the local people told reporters.“It's really creative and encouraging.”China produces quite a lot of rubbish every year.Much of the rubbish is buried (填埋) in soil or burned without being ndfills (填埋场) take up a lot of land and have a risk of polluting the soil and water nearby.And burning rubbish can produce harmful gases.Through rubbish sorting, we can reduce the use of landfills and air pollution.What's more, rubbish sorting saves resources, which could bring economic benefits (经济利益)．For example, a ton of waste paper can be reused to make about 850 kg of paper, saving 17 trees and 50 percent of water.Because of their benefits, some countries have developed successfully sorting systems.Japan has a strict and detailed system.When people throw away a water bottle, the cap, the wrapper (包装纸) and the bottle itself have to go into three different bins.In Australia, every family is provided with three rubbish bins—the red lid (盖子) bin for “general waste” like food and plastic bags, the yellow lid bin for “recycling” like steel and glass, and the green lid bin for “green waste” such as grass and leaves.On the streets, the bins are printed with pictures of the things that are allowed inside.It makes recycling quite easy. 61．What will local people probably get if they put daily rubbish into the new system in Fangchengyuan Community?A．A computer. B．A car.C．A lot of money. D．Some small gifts.62．Which of the following is NOT the consequence (后果) of burying rubbish?A．Polluting soil. B．Polluting water.C．Taking up a lot of land. D．Saving resources.63．Which paragraph discusses the economic benefits of rubbish sorting?A．Paragraph 3. B．Paragraph 4.C．Paragraph 5. D．Paragraph 6.64．In Australia, which bin should you put food left after dinner in?A．The red lid bin. B．The yellow lid bin.C．The green lid bin. D．The black lid bin.65．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A．In Australia, the green lid bin is used for all kinds of recyclable (可回收的) wastes.B．In Japan, all kinds of things for recycling are printed on rubbish bins.C．Japanese people cannot throw a bottle into a bin unless they move away the wrapper first.D．In Australia, much of the rubbish is buried in soil or burned without being sorted. 八、任务型阅读(每小题2分，共10分)Respecting_older_people_is_a_tradition_in_China.There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect.When an older person ① a room, everyone stands up.People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest.When we present a book to an older person, two hands are used.Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus.In western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old.They are called “seniors” instead of “old people”．They'd rather do everything themselves.Even after retirement (退休), they take on hobbies, parttime jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well.Westerners respect their older people, too.Seniors usually take trains and buses for free.They are given discounts (折扣)in stores and restaurants.But western seniors don't often live with their children—they live ②.For holidays, the family usually gather at the grandparents' homes.A great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for children to show their respect.任务一：请根据短文内容，分别写出①、②处所缺单词。

However, some people believe that studying English in China is more beneficial. Here are some reasons why studying English in China is a good choice.Firstly, studying English in China allows students to immerse themselves in an English-speaking environment. They can practice their English skills with native speakers every day, which will help them improvetheir speaking and listening abilities. Moreover, students can participate in various English activities, such as clubs, competitions, and cultural exchanges, which will enhance their confidence and communication skills.Secondly, studying English in China is more cost-effective. The cost of studying abroad is usually much higher than studying in China. Students can save a lot of money by studying in their home country. In addition,students can stay close to their family and friends, which will reduce their stress and make them feel more comfortable.Thirdly, studying English in China can help students better understand the Chinese culture. They can learn about the history, traditions, and customs of China, which will enrich their knowledge and broaden their horizons.However, some people argue that studying abroad is better because it allows students to experience a different culture and learn from people with different backgrounds. They can also improve their independence and adaptability by living in a foreign country.In conclusion, studying English in China has many advantages. It is more cost-effective, allows students to immerse themselves in an English-speaking environment, and helps them better understand the Chinese culture.

"I love to learn the Chinese language because it is very nice, important and I want to travel to China to complete my studies there," Karim al-Areqi, a student of the private Languages Model School in Sanaa, told Xinhua.Teacher Mohammed Al-Ansi, who learnt the language in China and received a university degree, stressed(强调) the importance of learning the Chinese language. "It is the language of the future and it is necessary for all people to get advantages from the great development in China," he said.Like many other private elementary and secondary schools in Yemen, the Chinese language is a basic part of the Languages Model School's courses, where the students study Chinese as actively as math and science subjects. "In teaching the Chinese language, I succeeded in educating students in a simple way that fits everyone," Al-Ansi said proudly, stressing that teaching Chinese has changed his life without doubt.Al-Ansi expects that Yemen and China will work together to set upcenters and schools for teaching the Chinese language in Yemen so that many young Yemenis can learn. "I hope that a branch of the Confucius (孔子学院), could be built in Yemen to teach the language and spread the Chinese culture to many students and researchers who are interested in learning the Chinese culture and language," he said. Many people in Yemen see that learning a foreign language may open a way of hope to a new life, such as getting more money and paving（铺平）the way to a bright future in the country that has experienced war for almost five years.15．The passage tells us that Mohammed Al-Ansi .A．has got a university degree in Yemen B．sings Chinese songs well C．thinks it important to study Chinese D．owns a language school 16．In the Languages Model School, the students .A．consider Chinese a simple language B．do well in science and math C．take pride in Mohammed Al-Ansi D．are active in learning Chinese 17．The 4th paragraph is mainly about .A．the Chinese culture B．Mohammed Al-Ansi's hopeC．centers for learning Chinese D．the way of doing research18．It can be learnt from the passage that .A．many young Yemenis learn Chinese for a better futureB．learning Chinese is sure to make Yemenis richC．more and more Yemenis are going to work in ChinaD．Chinese has been popular in Yemen for five years二、阅读还原6选5Sam was from a poor country. In order to make money, he went to work in the US three years ago.He spent several days looking for a job there. 19 Many American students also worked there. Their work was not difficult. They just needed to wash the dishes. But the boss（老板）said to them, “You must wash every dish eight times,” All of the workers weren’t happy, but they had to follow the order. In the beginning, Sam did his job very carefully. 20 After two weeks, Sam found that the boss didn’t check their work very often. He thought maybe he could just wash the dishes less times. 21 He did his work very fast. The boss felt very happy with him. One day, a worker in the restaurant asked Sam why he could wash the dishes so fast. 22 The worker felt surprised but said nothing. A few days later, the worker told the boss about it.23 Sam had to look for jobs in other restaurants, but none of them would accept him because of his dishonest（不诚实的）behavior. Sam was sad but he could do nothing.根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项（其中有一项多余）。

Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or WeChat, waiting to be “liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see whether we get “liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a result, it showed that the more photos they took, ▲. So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?Besides the scientific result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, one will not be able to control himself and check his mobile many times. “Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!” It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are with real people.So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you. Trust me, and it will be a wonderful time.41. From the passage, what happens a lot at the dinner table nowadays?A. People talk about their Weibo or WeChat.B. People learn from each other how to cook dishes.C. People like taking photos with friends or families.D. People take photos of food and post them before eating.42. Which of the following can be put in the ▲in Paragraph 3?A. the less cheerful they becameB. the less delicious the food seemed to themC. the more interested they were in the foodD. the more “liked” they got on Weibo or WeChat43. What does the fourth paragraph talk about?A. The reasons for checking your mobiles.B. The ways of posting the photos onto the Internet.C. The tips(提示) of making others like your photos on Weibo.D. Some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals.44. Which of the following is the writer's opinion?A. We take our mobiles and click when a dish comes.B. We check our mobiles from time to time during the meal.C. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant.D. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food.45. What can we learn from the passage?A. Take photos of food in order to have a wonderful life.B. Take photos of delicious food and share them with others.C. Remember to have dinner with our family and friends at home.D. Enjoy the life with people around us instead of taking photos of food.B【2020·甘孜州】I love singing.

Reach expressions on your face can be one of them.A smile on your face showed that you're happy. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad or excited. Body languages can do the same job. When you put your hand up in class, the teacher knows that you want to say something or you may have some questions to ask. You shake your head from side to side and people know you are saying "no" orrefuse others' requirements. When you nod, people will understand that you're saying "yes" or agree to others' opinions or suggestions.Other forms can also carry different messages.

The earthquake on March 11 was the first test of the nation's earthquake early-warning technology (地震预警技术). However,in the fight of Man vs Nature,Nature won again. Hundreds,if not thousands of people,lost their lives in Japan. Scientists believe it is the fifth-strongest quake in the world since 1900 and the most powerful on record ever to hit Japan.Lin tells of calm survivorsWhen the office began to shake,his friends were calm and still working. But the shaking became stronger. People shouted at him: “Run out of the building,now!" This was Lin Jia's first experience of an earthquake. Lin,26,has been in Japan for three months,working as a software engineer in Shinagawa,Tokyo. Lin stayed with others in a bus station all afternoon.

She loudly says the right answer but hears somebody call her a "know-it-all" and sees someone else roll his eyes. She doesn't feel comfortable enough to speak up again because confident women are thought to be "bossy(专横的)".The stereotype that confident men are leaders and confident women are bossy gave rise to the 2014"Ban Bossy" campaign (“禁用专横”运动)This campaign encourages young girls to become leaders and stay confident in the face of being called "bossy".Laila Farah, from DePaul University, US, says she believes this stereotype（成见）comes from history."there is an old idea that girls are not as clever as boys." Farah says, "There is also another old idea that women act according to their feelings. “Gender(性别）stereotypes come from nearly everywhere." Farah says,"It is learned when people were babies, from the toys chosen, to saying girls aren't good at math."In a study done by the Girls Leadership Institute, many girls said that the biggest thing holding them back from taking part in class was getting judged(评判). Girls learn to know their ideas and leadership skills to themselves.Maybe instead of never using-the word bossy, we need to forget the idea that being bossy is a bad thing. At the end of the day, bossy people get the job done.33. Which of the following shows the gender stereotypes from someone in class?A.Speaking up again.B. Rolling one's eyes.C. Raising one's hand.D.Answering the question.34.
