Except for helpingyou fin d your way in the streets, they aren’t really friendly and never invite you to their houses.Giannis Sinios: On the contrary I found them both broad-minded and friendly. I was invited to people’s houses and they all showed great interest in my ideas, Greek life and people. In England I learned that it was possible to be warm, friendly and polite at the same time.Judy Brown: I lived in both Italy and Greece for a few years. At first there were a few misunderstandings between my foreign friends and myself. For example, I once gave a Greek friend a present for her birthday.

My taxi driver stepped on the brake (刹车) as hard as possible, and at the 4 moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.I couldn’t believe what happened next. The driver of the car turned his head around and started 5 bad words. But then here’s what really 6 me. My taxi driver just smiled and waved (挥手致意) at the guy. I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy nearly 7 us!” He told me what I now remember “The Law of the Garbage (垃圾)Truck.”He said, “Like garbage trucks, many people run around full o f garbage, full of anger, and full of regret. 8 their garbage increases more and more, they look for a place to pour it. If you let them, they’ll pour it on you. So when someone wants to pour it on you, don’t feel hurt. Just smile, wave, and move on. You will be 9 .”I started thinking: how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and 10it to other people? Then I knew clearly what I should do.I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the bad mood people are carrying. I see them coming to pour it. And like my taxi driver, I don’t feel hurt. I just smile, wave, and move on。

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.

Some are large and beautiful, and some are no more than tiny green or greyish green plants partly dried out, living on dead trees and fallen branches.All know that orchids need neither earth nor decayed leaves and look upon it as the most troublesome of all plants to grow. Many people fancy that orchids live only in hot, damp jungles and are ever green. But from the tropics (热带的) to the land of snow and ice, from sea level to high mountain top-orchids may be found in all conditions. Even as far north as Sweden and Norway, there are many kinds of wild orchids.The information that orchids can be grown in warm houses and glass houses is not new. The orchid house where the plants are grown has been specially made for them, with its temperature controlled by artificial heating. When in flower, these plants are a beautiful sight.It is said that there used to be an Englishman who grew orchids in the ice-house. He made the conditions suit the plants, just as the person who has an orchid room in the house.One kind of orchid has such a strong dislike for water that it likes to grow in a small basket so that the roots can get the air.

The water drops 3,212 feet from the top of the Auyantepui mountain into Devil's Canyon in Venezuela. In season, about two inches of water pour over the canyon walls every second.Angel Falls was discovered by accident in 1933. Jimmy Angel, a US pilot, was trying to find a gold mine in the area. He missed the site and crash-landed on top of Auyantepui. After his plane landed safely on top of the mountain, he and his crew members made their way down to civilization by foot, taking two weeks to find a small village. Three years later, when Jimmy Angel told people of the waterfall, it was named after him. Thousands of tourists visit this natural wonder each year.The longest falls in the world are Niagara Falls on the border of Canada and the United States. Hundreds of millions of visitors come to see the falls. No one knows how the falls were formed, but some people say the Niagara River changed course thousands of years ago.The biggest falls in the world is Canada's Montmorency Falls. The water drops 245 feet below the cliffs of Mont-morency, 10 miles northeast of Quebec City. The falls are wider than they are in height, with a 150-feet width.Waterfalls occur when rivers flow over cliffs and create sheer drops. Waterfalls formed this way are called true waterfalls. Not all waterfalls aretrue waterfalls. A terrace waterfall is a waterfall that spills over the side of the cliff into steps, like a staircase. Other waterfalls flow quietly down a slope and resemble a sheet of clear glass.57. What were Jimmy Angel and his crew members doing when they found Angel Falls？A.
