Helen Keller (US)
Lived: 1880–1968
Virginia Woolf (UK)
Lived: 1882–1941
Tu Youyou (China)
Lived: 1930–present
Helen Keller was a role model for the disabled. She became deaf and blind when she was a baby. She came a long way in becoming a writer. Her book Three Days to See tells her life story, which is considered as a must-read.
Virginia Woolf was a famous writer for her stream-of-consciousness (意识流) writing style. Besides writing, she often brought the best minds of the time to meet together in her home talking about art and literature.
Tu Youyou is a great scientist because she found artemisinin (青嵩素) in 1971. And it is still the best cure for malaria. In 2015, Tu received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her work, who was the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize.

“Keep calm and carry on”—You can see this message written on many T-shirts and other tourist souvenirs (纪念品) in London and the UK. It has become so famous that there are many expressions of it: “keep calm and drink tea”; “keep calm and love dogs”; “keep calm and learn English”. As you can see, you can substitute (替换) the “carry on” part for anything you want, really!
But where does the original (最初的) phrase come from? Well, it comes from World War II. It was a message used for a poster (海报) created by the British government to calm people down and encourage them during the war when London was being attacked (攻击). The idea was to carry on with life as normal, as if there was no war.
Staying calm when you’re in trouble is known as a very British thing to do. British people are famous for keeping a “stiff upper lip”. This means your lips don’t shake when you are excited or frightened: you stay calm and don’t show people how you are really feeling.
Are British people still like this today? Do they still keep a “stiff upper lip”? Modern Britain is very different from how it was 60 years ago and British people probably show their emotions (情绪) more than they used to. But if “keep calm and carry on” is still so famous today, then it must be something that British people still think and care about, and something they are still famous for. So next time you are frightened or in danger, just keep calm and carry on!
4. According to Para.1, what message will be possibly given to Grade 9 who are preparing for exams?
A. Keep calm and drink tea. B. Keep calm and love dogs. C. Keep calm and study hard.
5. Where is the original phrase “keep calm and carry on” from?
A. A tea house in the UK.
B T-shirt and tourists souvenirs.
C. A poster during the World War II.
6. What does the underlined phrase “stiff upper lip” in Para.3 mean?
A. 唇枪舌战 B. 泰然自若 C. 装腔作势
7. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The UK’s Famous Saying
B. The Changes of the British People
C. The Culture Development in the UK
C
Even though African elephants are protected, many of them are still being killed for their ivory.
At the end of the 1970s, over 1.3 million elephants walked around Africa, but today, their numbers have fallen to around 450,000. This is mainly caused by illegal(非法的) hunting for ivory. Need for ivory in markets, especially in Asia and Africa, continues to push the illegal trade. This has resulted in the deaths of at least 20,000 African elephants each year.
Ivory, also known as “white gold”, has long been considered valuable. Its unusual look has led to its use in lots of expensive things, including jewellery, musical instruments and art. And the ivory material itself can stand the test of time. So many people are willing to pay a high price for ivory products.
However, no matter how much real ivory is sold for, it’s certainly not worth the harm to elephants. That’s why some scientists are working to achieve the same beauty of ivory without killing any animals.
Thaddaa Rath and her team at the University of Vienna have created the ivory called “Digory”. The high-tech ivory is made from synthetic resin(合成树脂) and calcium phosphate particles(磷酸钙颗粒). It’s first formed into the shape by a 3D printer. And then it is color-matched and colored. Next, it is polished(抛光) to make it look like real natural ivory.
Although Digory looks so real that it is hard to tell it from real ivory, its chemical structure is completely different from that of the real one. Fritz Vollrath, a biologist who is against killing elephants for ivory, felt excited about the invention and spoke highly of it for the fact that Digory could save many elephants from risks. Scientists have made some achievements, but we still need to do more research to make sure that it is widely used. It’s still hopeful that scientists can be able to protect African elephants by making high-tech materials to take the place of the real ivory.
8. How does the author show the dangerous situations of elephants?
A. By telling a story. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking a question.
9 Why do many people want to buy ivory products at high prices?
A For its common look.
B. For its long history.
C. For its high-quality material.
10. What do we know about making “Digory”?
①Its steps. ②Its time. ③Its materials. ④Its cost.
A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①③
11. Which of the following does the writer agree with?
A. Technology can take human’s place to create art.
B. It is almost impossible that Digory will be widely used.
C. The use of technology can support the protection of wildlife.

“Keep calm and carry on”—You can see this message written on many T-shirts and other tourist souvenirs (纪念品) in London and the UK.
