专题07阅读理解九年级英语上册期末高分冲刺专练(人教新目标)(解析版)
专题07 阅读理解2022-2023学年九年级英语上学期期末高分冲刺专练一、阅读单选Do you ever find yourself standing in front of rubbish bins, not sure whether the piece of waste in your hand is recyclable or not? To solve this problem, four Hong Kong high school students have invented a smart rubbish bin that uses AI to sort(分类) the waste. The students named the bin Waste Collection Point.Connected to a computer, the bin uses a camera to tell the kind of the waste it receives and sorts it into plastic, paper, glass, or other kinds. To make sure the bin can sort waste correctly, the team tested every product in the school shop and took at least500 pictures of each one. “To train the AI, we had to take many photos from different angles(角度), so it has a better rate of accuracy,” said one of the students who built the AI system.The idea of the smart bin was born two years ago, when the students were in Grade Ten. At that time, people from the city crowded into their village because of the COVID-19. They left behind a lot of rubbish and caused more pollution.“All the bins were full, and there was even rubbish on the mountain,” the students recalled, “Every weekend, we had to join the villagers in picking up the waste.”The students decided to develop a special recycling bin that would encourage people to protect the environment. Although school ended at 2 pm, the team would continue to work on their invention until 6 or 7 pm at school. Even when their school was closed last year, they would still meet and work together online.“Our bin is now in its third generation(代). Before graduation, we hope it can be widely used in the city.” The students said, “Then it will be easier than ever for people to recycle and protect our environment.”1．According to the first paragraph we know the ________ of Waste Collection Point. A．price B．size C．use2．The underlined words “rate of accuracy” mean “________” in Chinese.A．精准度B．参与度C．知名度3．This chart shows why Waste Collection Point was developed. Which is the missing part?A．the hit of the COVID-19B．villagers’ encouragement C．picking up rubbish around 4．This passage is mainly about ________.A．four young inventors B．a new invention C．the rubbish problem 5．How is this passage organized(组织)? (P=Paragraph)A．B．C．根据语言材料内容选择最佳答案。

阅读理解：国学故事——上善若水。
A 阅读理解“Green Games” became a calling card for the 19th Asian Games, which were held from Sept 23 to Oct 8 in Hangzhou and five other cities in Zhejiang.To make the Games the world’s first waste-free sporting event, green energy sources were used at all 56 competition venues (场馆).Some of the renewable (可再生的) electricity used at the venues was photovoltaic energy (光伏能源), transmitted (传输) from areas such as Qinghai and Gansu. Another source was wind power which was made in areas including the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.A digital management platform was also started to help achieve carbon neutrality (碳中和) during the Asian Games. On the platform, digital technologies were used for managing carbon emissions (排放) from venues in the six cities where the Games were held. The technologies included data collection and emissions reduction (减排) and evaluation.Among all of the Games’ 56 competition venues, just 12 were newly built. The rest were existing facilities (设施) repaired as part of the organizers’ mission of sustainability (持续性).The Shangcheng Sports Centre Stadium, the venue used for soccer events at the Games, was first built in 2019.During the venue’s renovation, its solar-film ceiling and spectator (观众) seating – both of which had been used for 14 years but remained in good condition – were kept after being scientifically assessed (评估). This helped to reduce building costs by nearly 8 million yuan.The race track of Chun’an Jieshou Sports Centre’s velodrome (自行车赛场) was covered with 374 interchangeable components (部件) which can continue to use after the competition ended.Zhejiang also improved public entry to the venues and hosted sports events in them. During the one-year delay (推迟) of the Games due to the pandemic, the venues were put aside but still kept in use. Since May 2022, all of the available venues have received 10 million visits, allowing the public to experience the world-class facilities.These venues will continue to be used for sports and public fitness after the Games. Venue owners and operators have developed post-games plans for 51 venues.1.What kind of renewable energy sources were used at the competition venues?A Solar energy and wind powerB Hydroelectric power and geothermal energyC Biomass and tidal energyD Nuclear power and natural gas2.What was the goal of the 19th Asian Games in terms of waste management?A. To use green energy sources at all competition venuesB. To achieve carbon neutrality during the GamesC. To repair and renovate existing facilitiesD. To reduce building costs for venues3.How many of the competition venues were newly built for the 19th Asian Games?A. 12B. 56C. 51D. The article does not mention it.4.Why did the organizers keep the solar-film ceiling and spectator seating of the Shangcheng Sports Centre Stadium?A. They were newly built and modern.B. They were in good condition.C. They were technologically advanced.D. The article does not mention the reason.5.What will happen to the venues after the Games?A. They will be demolished.B. They will be used for sports and public fitness.C. They will be sold to other countries.D. The article does not mention it.B 阅读理解On Sept 24, at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, people burst into thunderous (雷鸣般的) cheers after China’s Tong Xin finished a difficult move. For the move, she had to make a 540-degree turn. In the end, she won the women’s taijiquan and taijijian all-round gold (女子太极拳太极剑全能金牌) at the sports event.Tong’s slow but strong actions with her sword (剑) showed perfectly Chinese wushu’s beautiful mix of soft and hard moves. As a sport showing regional (区域的) culture, wushu was included in the Asian Games in 1990. Apart from wushu, many other special sports from different Asian areas were also seen at the sports event, making it a party of folk cultures. Kabaddi (卡巴迪) and sepak takraw (藤球) are two examples.Kabaddi (卡巴迪) is a folk sport from India and has a history of more than 4,000 years. As the athletic form (竞技版) of the game “eagle (老鹰) catching chickens”, kabaddi needs nothing but an area that is 13 meters long and 10 meters wide.Sepak takraw first became popular in Southeast Asia. It is similar to the traditional Chinese game of shuttlecock kicking (踢毽子). Players need to use their feet, head, knees and other parts of their body to move the ball. It is also called “kick volleyball”.Although the Asian Games don’t include as many countries as the Olympic Games, they have even more events, especially the ones born out of the Asian region. This makes it really unique.As Chinese President Xi Jinping said at the event’s opening ceremony (开幕式), “The 19th Asian Games have included many disciplines (项目) with distinctive (有特色的) Asian features. It provides a platform (舞台) to celebrate sports and culture, and showcases Asian culture that is inclusive (包容的), vibrant (充满活力的) and always keen (渴望的) to learn from others.”1.What gold medal did Tong Xin win at the Asian Games?A. Women’s wushuB. Women’s taijiquanC. Women’s kabaddiD. Women’s sepak takraw2. What is the story mainly about?A. The game results as of Sept 24.B. Chinese wushu athlete Tong Xin.C.

It has a high requirement for the playing area.D. It is very popular in Asia.4. What’s the meaning of having folk sports in the Asian Games?a. To introduce new sports to the world.b. To celebrate regional sports and culture.c. To showcase unique Asian culture.d. To highlight Asian features.e. To show the athletes’ sporting spirit.A. abcB. bcdC. bdeD. cdeC，阅读理解Recently, people online have been selling verbal abuse (言语辱骂) “services”. An internet user pays the seller some money to abuse the victim (受害者) through social media. However, this is not right or legal.To know more about this, Teens talked to Xing Junxia, a lawyer at the S&P Law Firm in Beijing.In life, we may say bad words to people we don’t like. If it gets serious, it becomes verbal abuse. “The act of verbal abuse violates (侵犯) the victim’s rights,” Xing said. “These words usually hurt the victim’s right to reputation (名誉权), which can lead to civil liability (民事责任).” The attacker (攻击者) should stop this right away. He or she should also formally (正式地) say sorry to the victim. This is to cut down the influence of the abuse.Xing pointed out that both the attacker and the payer should bear civil liability because they do it together.In more serious situations, the attacker will face administrative penalties (行政处罚). A man in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang, who ran an online verbal abuse “service” and had abused 25 people, was recently caught. Although he knew it was illegal, he believed it was an easy way to make money. In the end, he was fined (处罚) 500 yuan and handed over all of the illegal money he had got.In the most serious situations, Xing said, verbal abuse can make the victim ill. The attacker should then face criminal liability (刑事责任). It means that he or she may spend time in prison (监狱), said Xing.1. If you are abused verbally, you can legally _____.A. ask the attacker for some moneyB. ask the attacker to stop and say sorryC. post the attacker’s acts onlineD. beat the attacker2. Who is at fault in the case of selling verbal abuse “service”?A. Only the attacker.B. Only the payer.C. Both the attacker and the payer.D. The attacker, the payer and the victim.3. The example in Paragraph 5 mainly shows us _____.A. that the payer won’t face a penaltyB. that the attacker is only fined in serious casesC. the reason for “selling” verbal abuseD. the result of running verbal abuse “service”4. What is the main idea of the story?A. Selling services online is illegal.B. Verbal abuse can hurt others physically.C. We should use laws to protect ourselves.D. Verbal abuse is law-breaking.D，阅读理解Do you know about Bee & Flower? It was once a well-known hair care brand in China. Many brands like this have “disappeared” because young people don’t know about them.But recently, some old Chinese brands have made a comeback. It’s a good start, but there’s more to it.In early September, anger over a Chinese makeup brand’s eyebrow pens (眉笔) lit up the internet. Some people thought that they were too expensive as it cost 79 yuan to get three pens. Shortly after, Bee & Flower started to sell three large bottles of hair care products for the same price. It showed that Chinese products could still be cost-effective (划算的).Many Chinese brands took their chance by selling through livestreaming (直播). What’s more, they also helped sell each other’s products. For example, hosts of sports brand Erke washed their hair with Bee & Flower products on Sept 13.Many people can’t stop buying these products. Why? For one thing, they think that the products of these Chinese brands are good to use and don’t cost much. Also, it makes buyers feel proud. They can help these old brands “come back to life” by buying the products. Buyers believe in these brands and will use their money to help them grow.However, livestreaming events should only be a start. How can brands keep people interested? Good products with good prices. The brands shouldn’t take advantage of (利用) people’s trust. They should turn it into a reason to make their products better.1. Which of the following can take the place of the word “disappeared”?A. shown upB. looked upC. given awayD. gone away2. What gave Bee & Flower the chance to sell their products?A.

Recently, many Chinese young people have turned to trees to help with their stress. Although it sounds strange, there’s a science behind the act of tree-hugging.It can be explained by the “biophilia hypothesis (亲生命假说)”. It was pointed out by US scientist Edward Wilson in 1984. He said that humans are born to love being around other living things. Humans’ love for nature is “in our DNA”. This idea helps to explain why people prefer natural, green views to city views. It’s also one of the reasons why people love cute pets.Some studies have looked into why tree-hugging can help with our health. A study in 2021 reported that the activity can increase oxytocin (催产素). It’s a hormone responsible for feelings. The higher the level of oxytocin is, the calmer and happier you may be. Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can lead to an increase in oxytocin.Another hormone called cortisol (皮质醇) is a marker of stress. The brain produces more cortisol when the person is anxious (焦虑的), angry, or very sad. Hugging trees helps cut cortisol production, which makes us feel better.Although the activity is helpful to us, it’s important to keep in mind that we shouldn’t hurt nature while doing it. Trees often hold valuable ecosystems (生态环境). Many small creatures live on the tree – and they are too small to be seen. You may want to be gentle when hugging trees – just like how you hug a friend!1. Which of the following can be explained by the “biophilia hypothesis”?A. People feel relaxed in parks.B. People like doing exercises.C. People love visiting historical sites.D. People like to live in cities.2. How might people feel with a lower hormone oxytocin?A. They might feel calm and happy.B. They might feel angry and sad.C. They might feel relaxed and scared.D. They might feel happy and sad.3. What is the right relationship between the hormone cortisol and our feelings?A. We feel sadder with a lower level of cortisol.B. We feel angrier with a lower level of cortisol.C. We feel more stressed with a higher level of cortisol.D. We feel much happier with a higher level of cortisol.4. What can we learn from the story?A. Hugs give people energy.B. The “biophilia hypothesis” is partly wrong.C. Tree-hugging is harmful to the environment.D. Hugging trees in the right way helps reduce stress.语法填空Hong Kong actor Tony Leung Chiu-wai received a very important award (奖项) – the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement (终身成就金狮奖) at the 80th Venice Film Festival On Sept 2.

Laozi, a famous Chinese philosopher (哲学家)A Chinese teacher called Zhen Daqian from a high school in Beijing gave further explanation: Laozi tells us the top character is just like water. All life in the world cannot live without water, but water never asks for anything in return. It just keeps giving quietly. Also, water often stays where people don’t like, such us low-lying wetlands and deserted valleys (空旷的山谷). This kind of low profile (低调) makes water the closest to the law of the universe. It seems that we have always taken qualities like bravery and strength as great virtues, but we should not forget what water has taught us.In dealing with people, we can act as water. Do our best to help others without trying to get fame or benefit. At the same time, stay modest (谦虚的). It’s unwise to always talk about the favors you gave to others. Even if no one cares about you in a difficult situation, you need to stay calm. After all, water will not choose where to be, it just flows to where it is needed.We know that the Chinese nation has always valued Laozi’s ideas about water. In 2014, President Xi Jinping mentioned it at the welcome dinner of the 22nd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Beijing. He said APEC members are brought together by the water of the Pacific Ocean and have a shared responsibility to make the Pacific an ocean of peace, friendship and cooperation (合作).1．Which of the following is not the quality of water?A．Low profiles.B．Bravery.C．Giving quietly.D．Never asking for anything in return2．What does the underlined word “disdain” mean?A．like B．hate C．enjoy D．admire3．What is the right way we should act as water in dealing with people?A．Staying proud.B．Helping others for fame and benefit.C．Staying excited in a difficult situation.D．Never talking about the favors you gave to others.4．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A．We Chinese nation has always valued Laozi’s ideas about water.B．The water of the Pacific Ocean is very important.C．All the APEC members should cooperate well with each other.D．All the APEC members should keep the peace of the Pacific Ocean. 5．Which of the following could be the best title for this passage?A．Laozi — A Famous Philosopher in ChinaB．Zhen Daqian—A Chinese TeacherC．Water — The Best VirtueD．Goodness — The Word and The World。

ADifferent countries have different customs in giving presents.In China you must never give a clock to a Chinese person，because the sound of the word for “clock” is similar to the sound of “death”. Also，don't wrap a present in white，black or blue paper，because they are the colors for funerals(葬礼).Don't give a knife，because something sharp can cut a friendship.In Russia if you give flowers as presents, you have to give an odd number of them (one，three，five，etc.) because even numbers of flowers are for funerals.In Germany if you are invited to dinner，flowers are good presents to take to your dinner hostess, but don't take her red roses because it means you are in love with her. Don't take thirteen of anything because it's an unlucky number. Don't take an even number of anything, either. Don't wrap your presents in white, brown, or black paper.( )1.

Women，men and even children can shake hands. Shaking hands also seems simple，but there are some important things to remember. When you shake hands，you must look into the other person's eyes the whole time you're shaking hands.Shake hands strongly. If you give a weak handshake，the other person might think that you're not kind. He / She might also feel that you don't like him / her or you don't want to touch him / her. Shake hands with men and women the same way. If you shake hands with a very old person or a small child，be careful not to hurt them.Some people don't know how long to keep shaking. The most common handshake should have three shakes and then you should let go. Don't worry if Americans shake hands a little longer.Your handshake is like your smile. It's special to you. You need to find a comfortable strong handshake that shows what you are like. Because the handshake allows people to touch，the hand should be warm，clean and dry.Warm：Put your hands into your pockets before you shake hands. This will warm them. Clean：If you know you're going to meet someone，wash your hands so they'll be clean. Dry：Everyone gets nervous and your hands may get wet. It isn't a good feeling for the other person. Again，put your hands into your pockets. This will dry them.( )6. When you stay in the USA，the common way to greet is to ________.A. bowB. kissC. hugD. shake hands( )7.

Ways to Keep Hands Warm，Clean and DryCShanghai is in East China. It’s an international city. Shanghai is famous for its night views and shopping centers. It is one of the largest cities in the world. It is also known as the “Shopping Paradise(天堂)” because there are a lot of department stores and huge shopping centers. Therefore, it’s not surprising that many tourists come to visit Shanghai every year for shopping.People’s Square is known as the center of Shanghai. If you go there, you will see a huge open area with green grass, fountains(喷泉) and pigeons(鸽子). There are many new buildings around. You will find Shanghai Grand Theater, the Musical Hall and Shanghai Museum there.If you go to Pudong New District in the east of Shanghai, you will see the Nanpu Bridge. It’s 8,364 meters long. It’s one of the longest suspension bridges in the world.

When you are in different countries, you should follow the customs there. In China, you are not supposed to start eating first if there are older people at the table.Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip. It is usual to tip waiters, taxi drivers and porters who help carry your bags at a train station, an airport or in a hotel. Waiters expect to get a fifteen percent tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.In England, you can see people standing in line almost everywhere, at the bus stop, in a bank, in the post office, in the doctor's waiting room and so on. So when you are in the UK, make sure to wait in a queue even if there are only two of you. It's a good idea to talk about the weather there. It's a favorite subject of conversations with the British.In Spain, it's a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not usually open until 9:00 p.m.In Saudi Arabia, men kiss one another on the cheek(脸颊).Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite for you to do the same.In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time.

Presents are placed around the child’s bed while he is sleeping so he will see them at once when he wakes up.IndiaUsually Indian children wear white to school.

Greetings are casual—a handshake, a smile and a “hello” will do just fine.The British often simply say “hello” when they meet friends. They usually shake hands only when they meet for the first time. Social kissing, often just a peck(轻吻) on the cheek, is common in an informal(非正式的) situation between men and women and also between women who know each other very well.In Japan, the common greeting for both men and women is to bow when they greet someone, instead of giving a handshake or a hug.Hungarians like to greet in a friendly way—kiss each other on both cheeks. The most common way is to kiss from your right to your left. When men meet for the first time, a handshake is the norm.In Albania, men shake hands when greeting one another. A kiss on the cheek may also be common if there is a close relationship. Women may shake hands or kiss each other on both cheeks.In Armenia, by tradition, a woman needs to wait for a man to offer his hand for a handshake. Between good friends and family members, a kiss on the cheek and a hug are also common.()26.In Britain, when two people meet for the first time, they usually .A.hugB.bowC.shake handsD.kiss on the cheek()27.The underlined word “norm” in Paragraph 4 means “” in Chinese.A.规范B.意图C.象征D.结果()28.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.In Japan, hugging is as common as bowing.B.In Hungary, people usually kiss each other on the cheeks from left to right.C.In Albania, it is unusual for men to kiss if there is a close relationship.D.In Armenia, it is necessary for a woman to wait for a man to offer his hand for a handshake.()29.How many countries are mentioned in the passage?A.Four.B.Five.C.Six.D.Seven.()30.What’s the best title of the passage?A.Country and CultureB.Culture and PeopleC.Greeting Customs Around the WorldD.Body Language in Different CulturesGWhen was the last time you gave or received a hug? Do your parents hug you before you go to school? In Western countries, it is quite common to greet close friends or relatives with a hug.You might hug your teammates after winning a basketball game. If one of your friends is having a bad day, you can hug them to cheer them up. Friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time will usually hug each other when meeting.Of course, people in different countries have different opinions when it comes to hugging. After coming to China, I’ve noticed that people are generally more reluctant(不情愿的) to hug than they are in my home country, the US.My Chinese friends told me that hugging is considered to be very intimate(亲密的) in their culture. It usually only happens between people who are really close to each other, like couples. Chinese people don’t usually hug in public, either.But people’s attitudes(态度) towards hugging can also change. I remember watching a video story about a “hugging party” that was held in Shanghai. A local artist held the party, inviting strangers and asking them to hug each other.The Chinese participants(参与者) clearly looked uncomfortable. However, after the party, several of them changed their minds. They decided that hugging doesn t have to be awkward(尴尬的) and can actually be quite nice. So next time you see your mom or dad, give them a hug—see how it makes you feel.()31.What usually happens between good friends when meeting in Western countries?A.Hugging.B.Nodding.C.Shaking hands.D.Smiling.()32.The second paragraph tells us .A.the advantages of hugging each otherB.some situations in which people hug each otherC.the reasons why friends need to hug each otherD.how to cheer up our friends()33.In Chinese culture, hugs usually happen between .A.friendsB.classmatesC.couplesD.relatives()34.What did people do at the “hugging party”?A.They were invited to hug each other.B.They watched a video about hugging.C.They told stories about hugging.D.They listened to music about hugging.

It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sports, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu’s islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano(火山) surfing and land diving.V olcano SurfingOn Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 300 meters into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts(爆发) almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it’s very different. V olcano surfers try to escape from the volcano—without getting hit by flying rocks! It’s fast, fun and dangerous—the perfect extreme sport(极限运动).Land DivingMost people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony(宗教仪式). A man ties tree vines(树藤) to his legs. He then jumps head-first from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head—without breaking the vines. Every spring, island natives (men only) still take part in this amazingactivity.()36.What does the underlined word “those” m ean?A.Visitors.B.Animals.C.Activities.D.Islands.()37.According to the passage, Mount Yasur .A.is no longer activeB.is on Pentecost IslandC.erupts almost every dayD.rises 800 meters into the sky()38.Why have people recently started climbing Mount Yasur?A.Because people can climb it easily.B.Because people can make money.C.Because people can watch snow on it.D.Because people can surf the volcano.

So far I have already had a few friends and had some traditional English food here. But after having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes, I thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food, especially my favorite—huo guo. You can’t imagine how excite d I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen, I seemed to smell huo guo in the air.To my surprise, when I went into the room, I didn’t see any sign of huo guo. Where was it?With many questions in my mind, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with an English girl, I got to know that Chinese huo guo is completely different from hotpot. Chinese huo guo is written in two words—hot pot; and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.Hotpot is made from mutton and onion. On the top are pieces of potatoes. People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot at a low heat. It takes very little effort to prepare. You can oftensee it at parties in the UK because it’s easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.Hotpot doesn’t taste bad.

（1）Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village・As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped・ He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg・ No chains（辛员链）,no cages・ It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason they did not.He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn't try to get away."Well, "the trainer said, “when they are veiy young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's eno ugh to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they can not break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free?"How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes・ But because they were always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn't.Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before?_______ .We should never give up the struggle in lifb.1.What did the writer see in the village?A.Chains.B.

Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first language? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first finger, which they extend or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb（拇扌旨）to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers.A group of scientists studied aboriginal（土著白勺）people in Australia. These people don't have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don't even have words for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.In a similar study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe（部落）in northwestern Brazil dorft have words for numbers such as "one” or u three^・ They are not able to say "five trees99 or u ten trees” but can say "some trees”, “more trees" or “many trees”. Professor Edward Gibson said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count, “But here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but it's not useful in their culture, so they've never picked it up."Although all humans are able to understand quantities（数量），not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting・ Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too.1.The writer begins with the. four questions in order to ___________ ・A.make a surveyB.interest readersC.tell a storyD.solve math problems2.What do we learn fi-om the difference in finger counting between the U.S. and China?A.People from China count much faster than people from the U.S.B.People from China need two hands to count from one to ten.C.People of different cultures may use different ways of finger counting.D.People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.3.Which of the following is true about aboriginal Australians?A.They have only a few words for numbers・B.They have hand movements to stand for numbers.C.They can only count to five on their fingers.D.They can understand different ideas about numbers・4.The study of the Piraha tribe shows that ___________ ・A.people all over the world know how to countB.people of the tribe have words for numbersC.some groups of people are not smart enough to countD.counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe5.What is the main idea of the passage?A.People from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math.B.Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans.C.In some aboriginal cultures, people don't even know how to count.D.Some languages don't have number words because people don't need numbers・（3）I spoke at a middle school in 1995・ When it was over, the headmaster asked me if I would visit a student.

He looked at it for amoment and handed it back, saying, "Rick，you are a champion・ You earned that medal. Someday, when I get to the Olympics and win my gold medal, I will show it to you：Last summer I heard from Matthew's parents. They wanted me to read a letter he wrote to me a few days before his death・Dear Rick,Pve kept all the letters you wrote to me. I told you someday I was going to the Olympics to win a gold medal.

But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening to the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment, the nine soldiers came back. It seemed that they drank wine. Of course they found the officer was angry• “I'm sorry, sir/5 said the first soldier. "I left the town on time.

Since late January, China has put off (1) the new school semester and encouraged students to study at home over safety concerns.The Ministry of Education issued(发布）a guideline for universities to organize online classes, with 22 online platforms (2) 24,000 courses to students. Online course companies also adopted special ways to (3) students’ demands for online learning during this period, such as free courses and online question-answering services. (4) what has been arranged by your schools as your study routine, what can you gain from online learning? Online courses can offer you a good experience for self-learning.To (5) learn online, you need to dedicate(奉献）a significant amount of your time, consistently attend the program, concentrate(专心）while studying and fully （6）your learning process, just as you would do for a regular course. To stay on track with your online course, always (7) what you hope to complete by the end of it.Make a goal. Predict how much time each task will (8) to complete. Keep detailed notes and review them often. A study plan is important to online learning.First, you need to plan ahead with a good calendar system. Online learning needs (9) . Create a study calendar (10) will help you remember all the important dates like online exams or deadlines for your tasks. A to-do list is useful to prioritize(优先处理）your study plan and to stay on track with your studying.When you feel yourself （11）concentration, consider taking a short break or stopping for the night. It is better to wait until you are able to start afresh (12) waste your time trying to focus.Taking online courses can be very convenient for many people. However, online learning (13) time management skills, self-discipline, willpower and motivation, as it may be challenging for online learners to successfully complete their online courses.(14) American author John C. Maxwell once said, “Success doesn’t just happen. You have to be intentional about it, and that takes discipline.” Take Maxwell’s (15) and make full use of online learning for self-improvement.( )1.A.to start B.starting C.started D.start( )2.A.offer B.offering C.provide D.providing( )3.A.please B.satisfy C.meet D.give( )4.A.Besides B.Except C.Beside D.Except for( )5.A.succeed B.successful C.successfully D.success( )6.A.stick to B.stick into C.stick on D.stick out( )7.A.keep up with B.keep in mindC.keep away fromD.keep in touch with( )8.A.spend B.cost C.take D.pay( )9.A.to organize well anizing wellC.to be organizing wellD.well organized( )10.A.what B.who C.that D.where( )11.A.losing B.to lose C.lost D.lose( )12.A.instead of B.rather than C.instead D.than( )13.A.requires B.requests C.regrets D.replies( )14.A.Like B.As C.Because D.Since( )15.A.advises B.suggestion C.advice D.advices(B)A wonderful article here on China Daily said that spending for education increases annually (1) about 20%. As a foreign teacher here, I'm wondering how it (2) and what are the results. You can spend more money without being effective.One of my biggest questions is: Why do children in the USA stay in school 2-3 hours less each day, have very (3) homework, no weekend classes and still do well in education in comparison to most Chinese students?Now, in my opinion, Chinese students are smart,very intelligent, I know. I teach them. They know how to study hard and for long hours. They know how to stand long classes. Children in the USA wouldn't sit (4) a class of over an hour. 40-50 minutes for most classes at most in the USA.When Chinese students attend university in the USA, their success rate is nearly 100%. Very, very rare does a Chinese child fail in the USA. Why? The answer is the same—they know how to study hard.So, (5) to Chinese children, American children get far less classroom instruction and far less homework at night. Yet there are over 200,000 Chinese college students (6) schools in the U.S. and that number is growing by 25% annually. In 3 years, there will likely be over 400,000 Chinese students studying in the USA.Now, I can reason and reconcile (7) Chinese students want to attend college in the USA. But in my year and a half here, I've met parents (8) children are in middle school and the parents want to send them to the USA. It seems to me that in China, long hours, extra hours and extra days of classes is realized as better education. Schools I've taught at here, (9) adding classes and oftentimes, longer classes. In the West, parents, teachers and students would never permit this. They wouldn't think of sending their children to school on Saturday or Sunday. However, in China, it is very common.I honestly and sincerely don't know the answers to these questions. If Western education is THAT much better, then, shouldn't Western styles of teaching (10) in China? Again, I'm seeking reasonable and intelligent objective answers.( )1.A.to B.by C.at D.in( )2.A.is spent B.spent C.is taken D.took( )3.A.a little B.little C.a few D.few( )4.A.for B.over C.through D. in( )paring pared C.to compare pare( )6.A.joining B.taking C.attending D.joining in( )7.A.why B.how C.what D.where( )8.A.whom B.who C.of which D.whose( )9.A.take up B.take in C.take pride in D.take on( )10.A.be adopted B.adopt C.allow D.be allowed(C)How many times have you complained, “There aren’t enough hours in the day!”?Holly Gabrielle White, a vlogger who graduated from University of Cambridge, probably (1) . After she began school in August 2016, White started a channel on the video-sharing website YouTube. It records her daily life on campus. Now she has more than 270,000 subscribers to her channel.In her videos, the 22-year-old gets up at 6:30 am and goes to bed at 10:30 pm every day. In (2) , she balances studying, cooking, house cleaning and exercising. Sometimes she finds time to meet up with friends and speak to her family online.A similar case (3) college students in China. Months ago, the official Tsinghua University microblog account showed pictures of students’ plans, study notes and daily schedules. In one of them, an undergraduate tightly arranges his daily life. He usually goes to bed at 1:00 am and gets up at 6:00 am. Although he only takes 10 classes a week, the rest of his day will be fully booked. He starts his day bypre-reading his textbooks at 6:40 am, and (4) a summary of his studies. When he feels like it is hard to stick to his schedule, he writes encouragements to himself, like, “You’re the best”, and “Go for it”.Both students’ hard work(5) certainly paid off. White was at the top of her 152 other classmates; and the Chinese undergraduate won (6) scholarship four years in a row. The two have something in common. They have regular schedules and get up early to study. They squeeze as (7) into the schedule as they can. More (8) , they learn a way of managing time well and efficiently.Some may wonder how they can (9) exhaustion, stress and burnout. White’s video Time Management & Organization Tips All Students Should Know may provide an answer. She advises to write our tasks in a set order on a to-do list. We should also know how to avoid and release stress because, “Mental health is as important as our physic al health.” To White, dancing is something she takes as a reward after completing everything on the list. Then enough sleep to rest her body and get ready to do a good job the next day.Indeed, things must be carefully planned before we act, then “(10) can be reached with half the effort”, as the old Chinese saying goes.( )1.A.agrees B.disagrees C.agreed D.disagreed( )2.A.between B.among C.all D.both( )3.A. was happened to B.took place inC.happened toD.was taken place in( )4.

The problem he has is how to (1) an artist once he grows up.”This is both encouraging and discouraging: The fact that we were all born to be artists is certainly exciting, and yet the reality has proven that remaining one is a task that many of us have failed. (2) , some people have seen the problem and want to solve it.Western educators have suggested that we (3) the thought of “STEAM” instead of “STEM” –traditional “core majors” including science, technology, engineering, and math –since the “A”,(4) stands for “arts”, is just as important.

英语9年级-时文阅读1(含答案)
1David Lee, a professional cobbler, was repairing the heel of a shoe when his hand got hurt in the machine. The accident reportedly resulted in Lee’s thumb getting severed from his hand. “I shouted for someone to ring an ambulance, but I couldn’t see how bad it was. I saw my thumb drop on the floor,” he said. “I had no pain though. I didn’t look as I compressed it with my jumper. I calmly turned the machines in the shop off.I walked straight away, and I knew how bad it was and I just worried that I wouldn’t be able to fix shoes again. I went outside for a cigarette while I waited for the ambulance.”Lee admits that he cried his eyes out when he thought about it, as he thought he was going to lose his shop. He was more concerned about that than his thumb because this is his passion. After being taken to a nearby hospital, he was transferred to the Pulvertaft Hand Centre, at Royal Derby Hospital, where doctors suggested using his big toe to replace the thumb. Lee agreed, saying his main concern was his business. When he was asked about his new thumb, he said, “It feels heavy having a toe where the thumb should be.” Now, after recovering from the injury, Lee is back to cobbling and he’s e ven able to use his toe-thumb to paint shoes, which he says is a hobby of his.1.

Jang Ji-sung, the mother of four, wore a VR headset and gloves that allowed her to see, hear and touch the digitized version of her daughter. Jang was filmed in front of a green screen and formed her hands as though she was holding the girl's face.The documentary aims to reunite sad relatives with lost family members. The two spent some time in a digitized park. The girl interacted with her mother, and told her that she misses her. The mother grew emotional and replied, "I miss you, too." The girl finally tells her mother that she is tired and falls asleep.During the filming, Jang's husband and one of her other children watched from the audience and were also brought to tears.
