Unit 1 Know yourself 单元话题阅读理解练习 If you are studying at a university in the US, there is no need to decide your major (专业) in the first year, but it’s a good idea to spend time early on working out what subjects you are interested in. To do this, you can take some tests such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Test (MBTI职业性格测试) and the Enneagram Personality Test (九型人格测试). These tests can help tell you what things you might be good at. They can help you work out what subjects you’re interested in and tell you what jobs may suit you best. Further, you should choose a major you are interested in. After all, people are most likely to be successful if they are doing something they love. Your passion (热情) and interests are important, and they will bring you pleasure and happiness. Lastly, you should learn about the different majors available. Math, computer science, information technology, economics, journalism and business management—they are all very different majors. You should have an understanding of what kind of jobs people with different degrees can get after graduation. You can look at the websites of famous universities to find out more. Choosing subjects you are interested in is quite important. As time goes by, your interests might change while you are at university. In the US, you can always change majors as long as you have the passion and ability to do so. If you have any doubts or questions about your academic path, you can seek help from your school’s counselors (顾问) and academic advisors. 1．According to the passage, the MBTI Test and Enneagram Personality Test can ________. A．help people find a job B．help people work out what jobs may suit them C．help students learn more knowledge D．tell you which university suits you best 2．According to the passage, why does following our curiosity and interests matter in choosing majors?   a.

Is learning fun for you? Teaching could be the career for you! Teachers need to graduate from university and get their teaching license (许可证). This requires taking some tests and working with another teacher for a few months to make sure they understand the best ways to work with students. Teachers need to be able to work well with other people. They need to work with students, parents, and other teachers. Sometimes when the students don’t understand the work, teachers need to know how to help them calm down and work through it. Other times the students might have something unpleasant going at home, so teachers need to be able to listen and provide a safe place for those students. Teachers may plan lessons with other teachers in the same subject or grade, so they have to be able to work well with other teachers. As most kids know, teachers also have to do a lot of grading. They grade math tests, spelling tests, and many other papers. But did you know that a lot of teachers also have to create their own lessons, worksheets projects, and tests? Most teachers are told what information they have to teach, but they may get to choose how to teach it. Teachers may use technology, art, books, and experiments to teach their topics, among other ways! They take a lot of time to create lessons that will help their students learn. Teachers have to continue to learn throughout their careers. They attend workshops (研讨会), take classes, read books, and research teaching topics online. All kids learn a little differently, so there is always new information to learn about the best ways to teach students! Not only do teachers have to get along with many different types of people, plan lessons, and keep learning, but they also have to keep track of how students are doing so that they can offer extra help to any students who are having a hard time learning. They want to make sure that students in all of the schools are learning as much as they can, no matter where they live or which school they attend. Teaching is a great career for people who love to help others, who love to keep learning, and who want to make the world a better place. 5．What is not required if you want to be a teacher? A．You should get the teaching license. B．You should graduate from university. C．You should be trained for some time. D．You should help others to take tests. 6．What does the underlined words “keep track of” in paragraph 6 mean? A．Take pity on. B．Have interest in. C．Take part in. D．Have information about. 7．What is true about teachers according to the passage? A．They don’t need to work with all kinds of people. B．They have to look for all the teaching contents. C．They should keep learning new things themselves. D．They must make sure all students live in safe places. 8．What is the purpose of writing the passage? A．To introduce the work of teachers. B．To ask more people to be teachers. C．To explain how difficult teaching is. D．To encourage teachers to work better. Name: Alicia         Name: Ricky Job: News reporter     Job: ? Alicia: What time do you normally start and end your workday? Ricky: That depends on the part of the project I’m working on. Before and after filming. I usually wake up at 7 a. m., start working soon after that, and stop in the afternoon. During filming, I don’t have a regular schedule. I usually wake up when the sun comes up and I quit when the sun goes down. Alicia: ▲ Ricky: That also depends on the project. I work from home when I’m not filming. While I’m filming, I work all over the world. For example, when I was making a film about the Himalayas, I worked in a village in the mountains. Alicia: Why did you choose to do this kind of work? Ricky: When I was young, I watched a lot of movies and read a lot of books. They showed me different ways of living and thinking. I want my films and photographs to do this for other people! Alicia: What’s the most difficult thing about your job? Ricky: The paperwork. It’s boring, but it’s important. 9．This is most probably ________. A．an introduction B．an interview C．a public discussion D．a private dialogue 10．What is Ricky’s job? A．News reporter. B．Travel writer. C．Filmmaker and photographer. D．Director and designer. 11．Which question is the most suitable for ________? A．Where do you work? B．When do you start work? C．How do you travel? D．What do you do? Each year, two million tourists visit the beautiful islands off the Australian coast. However, most visitors just visit for a day. The tourism officers wanted more people to stay longer, so they decided to hire a person to live on an island and write about the area. “We are looking for someone to tell the stories of the Great Barrier Reef, and we have come up with what we think is the dream job,” explained Anthony Hayes, the Chief Executive of Tourism in Queensland. They posted the job on their website and waited for replies. In England, Ben Southall was looking online. He saw the job posting. It sounded too good to be true. He immediately made a video about himself. He loved to travel. He described his 40, 000-mile (64, 374-kilometer) trip around Africa. He was a good writer and an excellent swimmer, he explained. In short, he was the perfect job applicant. Then he submitted his application and hoped for the best. In Australia, the tourism officers in Queensland were very busy. They received 35, 000 applications from people all over the world. They chose 15 top applicants—including Southall. Then they invited these applicants to Australia. The interview was unusual: four days of swimming, diving, and writing blogs about the experience. At the end of the four days, they chose the best applicant: Ben Southall. This was the beginning of Southall’s amazing experience. From his first day at work to his last, he explored the islands. He swam in the clear, blue water and dived among the coral reefs. He visited local hotels, and he ate at all the best restaurants. “Every day was a different experience: jet skiing, staying in five-star resorts, diving, and then writing about it.” Meanwhile, people were reading his blogs all over the world. It wasn’t all fun, however. Australia is home to many poisonous (有毒的) creatures such as snakes, spiders, and fish. For most of the time, Southall managed to avoid these creatures. However, in the last week, his luck came to an end. A poisonous jellyfish stung him. Luckily, he recovered and was able to finish his work. In the end, was this the perfect job? Yes, but Southall discovered that it was extremely hard work. He was under a lot of pressure to write about all his adventures. He had to post videos and photos every day. These videos and blogs attracted more people to the island. So, Ben Southall swam, dived, had a good time, and did a good job. In fact, he had such a good time that he decided to stay in Australia. 12．Why did Southall think he was the right person for the job? A．He had experience working as a tourism officer. B．He already traveled thousands of miles across Australia. C．He knew how to make a video about his traveling experience. D．He believed his skills and experience prepared him for the job. 13．The interview process was unusual because ________. A．the tourism officers received so many applications B．the tourism officers chose Southall to take up the job C．the applicants had to go to Australia for the interview D．the applicants must show they could swim, dive and write 14．Which of the following are most likely to be found in Southall’s blog? ① Keep away when you meet the poisonous creatures. ② Try all kinds of delicious local food in local top restaurants. ③ Learn skiing and diving in five-star resorts without paying. ④Swim in the clear, blue water and dive among the coral reefs. A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②④ 15．Which of the following words can best describe Southall’s work? A．Comfortable and perfect. B．Relaxing but difficult. C．Attractive but dangerous. D．Interesting and well-paid. Dillon is now an 11-year-old boy in England. One day in November 2021, he woke up in great pain and his right leg was swollen (肿胀的). In fact, his leg hurt so much that he couldn’t even wear socks or trousers. For more than a year, he spent the night screaming (尖叫) in pain, even asking his family to have his leg cut off. He went through test after test, but no doctor could find out what was making his leg so painful. Finally, they discovered Dillon had a rare condition (罕见疾病) called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS, 复杂性区域疼痛综合征), one of the most painful illnesses in the world. Melanie, Dillon’s mother, began searching for treatment for Dillon’s illness. But she quickly discovered there weren’t many choices in the UK. That’s when Melanie discovered a new machine called the VECTTOR machine for treating pain like Dillon’s. The only trouble was that the machines were only available in Houston, Texas. Melanie couldn’t book the plane tickets any faster. Before long, Dillon met with pain management experts and tried the VECTTOR machine in Houston. The results were great. After just one session (疗程), Dillon’s pain eased and he was able to put a little weight on his leg. He felt better and could even put on socks, trousers, and shoes for the first time in a year. Melanie bought a VECTTOR machine for $5,333 and brought it back home to England. Dillon now uses it for 40 minutes every day, twice a day. Dillon’s whole family is healing (恢复常态) after their year-long trouble. They’re hopeful that his condition continues to lessen with time. For now, they’re celebrating the moments they very nearly missed out on experiencing, like Dillon’s first day of high school! These are the stories that scientists dream of hearing! It’s great what they can do with technology today. And it’s beautiful to see it being used to create real-life “wonders” for families like Dillon’s. 16．What happened to Dillon one day in November 2021? A．He didn’t want to wear socks. B．He was scared and screamed at night. C．He had to cut off one of his legs. D．His right leg began to hurt suddenly. 17．According to Paragraph 2, the doctors ________ at first. A．found out Dillon had a rare illness B．weren’t sure what had caused Dillon’s pain C．advised Dillon to go abroad for treatment D．offered Dillon many choices to treat his illness 18．Which of the following can replace the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3? A．Melanie booked the air plane tickets at once. B．Melanie couldn’t afford the air plane tickets at first. C．Melanie was too nervous to book the air plane tickets. D．Melanie didn’t know how to book the air plane tickets. 19．What does the writer try to express in this text? A．Failure is the mother of success. B．Nothing is better than keeping fit. C．Technology makes our life better. D．Time is always the best medicine. If you ever have the desire to break out into song in the shower, in the car, maybe at your neighbor’s karaoke night—you should embrace it whole-heartedly. This ancient art not only makes you feel good, but it can also improve your well-being, reduce your feelings of pain, and even extend your life. Using your voice to sing, rather than simply carrying out a conversation, offers unique benefits because singing affects our bodies. Also, studies link singing with a lower heart rate decreased blood pressure and reduced stress according to Patricia Preston-Roberts, a music therapist (治疗师). She uses the song to help patients who suffer from a variety of problems. Singing, particularly in a group, seems to benefit the elderly particularly well. As part of a three-year study examining how singing affects the health of those fifty-five and older, a Senior Singers Chorus was formed by the Levine School of Music in Washington, D．C． The seniors involved in the chorus, as well as seniors in two separate arts groups about writing and painting, showed significant health improvements compared to those in the control groups (控制组). Obviously, the arts groups reported thirty fewer doctors’ visits, fewer eyesight problems, less depression, and less need for medication. Even lead researcher Dr. Gene. D．Cohen director of the Center on aging at George Washington University, was surprised at how big an effect the seniors’ arts participation had on their health. Cohen said, “The average age of all the subjects was eighty. This is higher than life expectancy. So, if an effect were to be achieved, one would ordinarily expect to see less decline (下降) compared to the control group. The fact that there was so much improvement in many areas was the surprising factor.” The seniors also noticed health improvements and they reported feeling better both in daily life and while singing. The part of the brain that works with speech is different from the part that processes music. “People seem to enjoy doing something jointly with other people. There are a lot of facts that being socially involved is good for people with dementia (老年痴呆).” Ballard said. The arts are showing up as a treatment tool in hospitals across the country. If you are thinking of volunteering, singing at a hospital may be a good choice—not only for the patients, but also for yourself. 20．In the first paragraph the author ________. A．expresses a desire for singing B．offers some advice on singing C．puts forward his point of view D．states the importance of health 21．Why was Cohen surprised at the results of the study? A．The study was not as expensive as expected. B．People’s health in the arts group improved greatly. C．Arts acted as a treatment tool in hospitals. D．The seniors themselves noticed health improvements. 22．What would be the best title for the passage? A．How to Avoid Getting Dementia B．How Seniors Live a Healthy Life C．How to Keep Our Brains Healthy D．How Singing Improves Your Health Many students have already had clear ideas about what jobs they would like to have in the future. We believe boys’ choices are different from girls’. To find out how different their choices are, we made a survey in Moonlight Middle School. The following chart shows the results of the survey. 23．About 45% of the girls would like to be ________ in the future. A．bank clerks B．reporters C．scientists D．teachers 24．What does the chart show us? A．Boys like being scientists the least. B．Boys are better at management than girls. C．Boys’ abilities of jobs are different from girls’. D．Girls’ choices of jobs are not the same as those of boys. Sometimes there’s nothing better than the “rush” you feel when you’re going at high speeds. Or the wonder of going somewhere new and different, climbing a mountain or enjoying extreme sports like snowboarding. These are the adventures we “thrill seekers (寻找刺激的人)” live for. But sometimes we also need to know when to slow down. Recently, I went quad biking (摩托车越野), or ATV driving, on a track in the mountains. After a brief instructional exercise and what seemed like lots of waiting, we put on our helmets (头盔), started our engines and got onto the track. The sound of the engine was exciting. As I got more confident, I couldn’t help overtaking other drivers whenever I got the chance. Finally, the way forward opened up and I went ahead of the others. I turned toward a small hill and raced down. As I soon found out, this was a big mistake. My ATV turned over at full speed. Luckily, I knew it was happening and pushed myself out of the way of the falling ATV. If I had not, I probably would have broken my leg beneath the weight of the ATV or even lost it. I might have even broken my neck. It ended up turning out fine, apart from some soreness (疼痛) in my chest for a week or so. This was a surprise for my friend. After seeing the accident, he said to me, “Dude, I thought you were dead.” Perhaps I could have died, if I hadn’t been lucky that day. That event was one I’ll always remember for the adventure and the near-death experience. It’s good to be adventurous, but it’s still really important to be wise and careful too. So, go on adventures, but be smart while you’re on them! 25．What did the author do before starting his quad biking adventure? A．He checked his ATV again and again. B．He shared his experience with other drivers. C．He received some instruction and waited. D．He made a personal survey of the track. 26．What does the underlined word “overtaking” in paragraph 2 most likely mean? A．Following. B．Directing. C．Going past. D．Talking with. 27．What happened when the author tried to race down a small hill? A．He slowed down. B．He hit his friend’s ATV. C．He broke his neck and leg. D．He lost control of his ATV. 28．What’s the main message the author wants to convey in the text? A．Accidents are a natural part of adventures. B．It is fun to live an adventurous life. C．Never be afraid of failure in life. D．Keep safety in mind while on an adventure. What’s your dream job? How much do you know about it? A group of students from Tianjin found a very common problem among young teenagers: Most of them have little idea about their career plans as there is too little help from school or family. To offer teenagers helpful advice on career, the students from Tianjin TEDA NO.1 Middle School started a project called “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi (点职成诗)”. “Our survey shows that 72% of students want to know more about different jobs. Doctors, accountants and lawyers are the top three,” said Wang Xinran, 16, the project leader. According to students’ needs, the team interviewed 32 excellent workers with different jobs and put their interviews on the Internet. These workers shared true stories behind each job, allowing students to learn about the jobs further. “We also invited the workers to give speeches in our school. In this way, students could have a chance to talk to them face to face,” said Wang. Team member Lu Jinyan said his most impressive interview was with a photographer. “I used to think being a photographer was cool and romantic (浪漫的). But now I realize that they need to deal with lots of problems, such as a sudden change of weather or broken cameras. They also need to communicate with different people. This is not easy.” But the project doesn’t mean to disappoint (使失望) students by telling them the truth. “We want to show the workers’ love and spirit of never giving up instead of the bad sides,” said group member Zhao Yajie. “The project’s name means to turn a career into a poem. We believe working is not just about bread and butter. It should be like a poem, full of love and beauty. And we hope our project can let students know that.” 29．Why did the students start “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi”? A．To provide useful career advice for teenagers. B．To turn students’ dream jobs into beautiful poems. C．To deal with problems students may meet in family. D．To help students communicate with different people. 30．The project can help students do the following things EXCEPT ________. A．learning about the true job situation B．interviewing team members face to face C．getting chances to talk to excellent workers D．having a better understanding of different jobs 31．What does the project member Lu Jinyan think of being a photographer now? A．Cool and romantic. B．Hard and challenging. C．Exciting and amazing. D．Practical and meaningful. 32．What is the best title for the passage? A．Knowing your dream jobs B．Dealing with your study problems C．Communicating with people D．Helping teenagers have interviews 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 1 Know yourself 单元话题阅读理解练习 （23-24九年级上·江苏苏州·期中） If you are studying at a university in the US, there is no need to decide your major (专业) in the first year, but it’s a good idea to spend time early on working out what subjects you are interested in.

They received 35, 000 applications from people all over the world. They chose 15 top applicants—including Southall. Then they invited these applicants to Australia. The interview was unusual: four days of swimming, diving, and writing blogs about the experience. At the end of the four days, they chose the best applicant: Ben Southall. This was the beginning of Southall’s amazing experience. From his first day at work to his last, he explored the islands. He swam in the clear, blue water and dived among the coral reefs. He visited local hotels, and he ate at all the best restaurants. “Every day was a different experience: jet skiing, staying in five-star resorts, diving, and then writing about it.” Meanwhile, people were reading his blogs all over the world. It wasn’t all fun, however. Australia is home to many poisonous (有毒的) creatures such as snakes, spiders, and fish. For most of the time, Southall managed to avoid these creatures. However, in the last week, his luck came to an end. A poisonous jellyfish stung him. Luckily, he recovered and was able to finish his work. In the end, was this the perfect job? Yes, but Southall discovered that it was extremely hard work. He was under a lot of pressure to write about all his adventures. He had to post videos and photos every day. These videos and blogs attracted more people to the island. So, Ben Southall swam, dived, had a good time, and did a good job. In fact, he had such a good time that he decided to stay in Australia. 12．Why did Southall think he was the right person for the job? A．He had experience working as a tourism officer. B．He already traveled thousands of miles across Australia. C．He knew how to make a video about his traveling experience. D．He believed his skills and experience prepared him for the job. 13．The interview process was unusual because ________. A．the tourism officers received so many applications B．the tourism officers chose Southall to take up the job C．the applicants had to go to Australia for the interview D．the applicants must show they could swim, dive and write 14．Which of the following are most likely to be found in Southall’s blog? ① Keep away when you meet the poisonous creatures. ② Try all kinds of delicious local food in local top restaurants. ③ Learn skiing and diving in five-star resorts without paying. ④Swim in the clear, blue water and dive among the coral reefs. A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②④ 15．Which of the following words can best describe Southall’s work? A．Comfortable and perfect. B．Relaxing but difficult. C．Attractive but dangerous. D．Interesting and well-paid. 【答案】12．D 13．D 14．D 15．C 【导语】本文主要介绍为了让游客们在游览澳大利亚海岸附近美丽的岛屿的时候，能够停留更长的时间，旅游官员决定雇一个人住在岛上，写下这个地区的情况以及介绍了被雇佣的这个人的具体的面试以及工作情况。 12．推理判断题。根据“He loved to travel. He described his 40, 000-mile (64, 374-kilometer) trip around Africa. He was a good writer and an excellent swimmer, he explained. In short, he was the perfect job applicant. Then he submitted his application and hoped for the best.”可知他喜欢旅行，他是一位优秀的作家和游泳运动员，他是个完美的求职者，因为他的技能和经验完美匹配这个工作。故选D。 13．细节理解题。根据“The interview was unusual: four days of swimming, diving, and writing blogs about the experience”可知这次面试不同寻常：四天的游泳、潜水和写博客讲述这次经历。故选D。 14．推理判断题。根据“Australia is home to many poisonous (有毒的) creatures such as snakes, spiders, and fish. For most of the time, Southall managed to avoid these creatures”可知要远离有毒的生物；根据“He visited local hotels, and he ate at all the best restaurants”可知品尝当地餐馆里的当地食物；根据“He swam in the clear, blue water and dived among the coral reefs.”可知在清澈湛蓝的海水中游泳，在珊瑚礁间潜水。故选D。 15．推理判断题。根据“This was the beginning of Southall’s amazing experience”以及“However, in the last week, his luck came to an end. A poisonous jellyfish stung him”可知这份工作很吸引人，但是也有点危险，因为有一些有毒的生物。故选C。 （23-24九年级上·江苏苏州·阶段练习）Dillon is now an 11-year-old boy in England. One day in November 2021, he woke up in great pain and his right leg was swollen (肿胀的). In fact, his leg hurt so much that he couldn’t even wear socks or trousers. For more than a year, he spent the night screaming (尖叫) in pain, even asking his family to have his leg cut off. He went through test after test, but no doctor could find out what was making his leg so painful. Finally, they discovered Dillon had a rare condition (罕见疾病) called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS, 复杂性区域疼痛综合征), one of the most painful illnesses in the world. Melanie, Dillon’s mother, began searching for treatment for Dillon’s illness. But she quickly discovered there weren’t many choices in the UK. That’s when Melanie discovered a new machine called the VECTTOR machine for treating pain like Dillon’s. The only trouble was that the machines were only available in Houston, Texas. Melanie couldn’t book the plane tickets any faster. Before long, Dillon met with pain management experts and tried the VECTTOR machine in Houston. The results were great. After just one session (疗程), Dillon’s pain eased and he was able to put a little weight on his leg. He felt better and could even put on socks, trousers, and shoes for the first time in a year. Melanie bought a VECTTOR machine for $5,333 and brought it back home to England. Dillon now uses it for 40 minutes every day, twice a day. Dillon’s whole family is healing (恢复常态) after their year-long trouble. They’re hopeful that his condition continues to lessen with time. For now, they’re celebrating the moments they very nearly missed out on experiencing, like Dillon’s first day of high school! These are the stories that scientists dream of hearing! It’s great what they can do with technology today. And it’s beautiful to see it being used to create real-life “wonders” for families like Dillon’s. 16．What happened to Dillon one day in November 2021? A．He didn’t want to wear socks. B．He was scared and screamed at night. C．He had to cut off one of his legs. D．His right leg began to hurt suddenly. 17．According to Paragraph 2, the doctors ________ at first. A．found out Dillon had a rare illness B．weren’t sure what had caused Dillon’s pain C．advised Dillon to go abroad for treatment D．offered Dillon many choices to treat his illness 18．Which of the following can replace the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3? A．Melanie booked the air plane tickets at once. B．Melanie couldn’t afford the air plane tickets at first. C．Melanie was too nervous to book the air plane tickets. D．Melanie didn’t know how to book the air plane tickets. 19．What does the writer try to express in this text? A．Failure is the mother of success. B．Nothing is better than keeping fit. C．Technology makes our life better. D．Time is always the best medicine. 【答案】16．D 17．B 18．A 19．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了11岁的Dillon不幸患上复杂性区域疼痛综合征，在全家人的合力帮助下，战胜病魔的感人故事。 16．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“One day in November 2021, he woke up in great pain and his right leg was swollen (肿胀的). In fact, his leg hurt so much that he couldn’t even wear socks or trousers.”可知，2021年11月的一天，Dillon醒来时疼痛万分，他的右腿肿了。事实上，他的腿疼得如此厉害以至于他连袜子或裤子都穿不了。由此可知，2021年11月的一天，Dillon的右腿突然疼了起来。故选D。 17．细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“He went through test after test, but no doctor could find out what was making his leg so painful.”可知，Dillon做了一次又一次的检查，但没有医生能找出是什么让他的腿如此疼痛。由此可知，医生最初不确定是什么导致了Dillon的疼痛。故选B。 18．句意理解题。根据画线句上一句“The only trouble was that the machines were only available in Houston, Texas.”可知，这些机器只在得克萨斯州的休斯敦可购得；再根据画线句下一句“Before long, Dillon met with pain management experts and tried the VECTTOR machine in Houston.”可知，不久之后，Dillon就见到了疼痛管理专家，并在休斯敦试用了VECTTOR机器。结合全文语境和常识可推知，Dillon的妈妈应该是立刻订了去休斯敦的机票，故A项符合题意。故选A。 19．推理判断题。通读全文可知，一种名叫VECTTOR的治疗机器最终帮助Dillon重获新生；再根据文章最后一段中的“It’s great what they can do with technology today.”可推知，通过Dillon的故事，作者想要告诉我们：科技让我们的生活更加美好。故选C。 （23-24九年级上·江苏苏州·阶段练习）If you ever have the desire to break out into song in the shower, in the car, maybe at your neighbor’s karaoke night—you should embrace it whole-heartedly. This ancient art not only makes you feel good, but it can also improve your well-being, reduce your feelings of pain, and even extend your life. Using your voice to sing, rather than simply carrying out a conversation, offers unique benefits because singing affects our bodies. Also, studies link singing with a lower heart rate decreased blood pressure and reduced stress according to Patricia Preston-Roberts, a music therapist (治疗师). She uses the song to help patients who suffer from a variety of problems. Singing, particularly in a group, seems to benefit the elderly particularly well. As part of a three-year study examining how singing affects the health of those fifty-five and older, a Senior Singers Chorus was formed by the Levine School of Music in Washington, D．C． The seniors involved in the chorus, as well as seniors in two separate arts groups about writing and painting, showed significant health improvements compared to those in the control groups (控制组). Obviously, the arts groups reported thirty fewer doctors’ visits, fewer eyesight problems, less depression, and less need for medication. Even lead researcher Dr. Gene. D．Cohen director of the Center on aging at George Washington University, was surprised at how big an effect the seniors’ arts participation had on their health. Cohen said, “The average age of all the subjects was eighty. This is higher than life expectancy. So, if an effect were to be achieved, one would ordinarily expect to see less decline (下降) compared to the control group. The fact that there was so much improvement in many areas was the surprising factor.” The seniors also noticed health improvements and they reported feeling better both in daily life and while singing. The part of the brain that works with speech is different from the part that processes music. “People seem to enjoy doing something jointly with other people. There are a lot of facts that being socially involved is good for people with dementia (老年痴呆).” Ballard said. The arts are showing up as a treatment tool in hospitals across the country. If you are thinking of volunteering, singing at a hospital may be a good choice—not only for the patients, but also for yourself. 20．In the first paragraph the author ________. A．expresses a desire for singing B．offers some advice on singing C．puts forward his point of view D．states the importance of health 21．Why was Cohen surprised at the results of the study? A．The study was not as expensive as expected. B．People’s health in the arts group improved greatly. C．Arts acted as a treatment tool in hospitals. D．The seniors themselves noticed health improvements. 22．What would be the best title for the passage? A．How to Avoid Getting Dementia B．How Seniors Live a Healthy Life C．How to Keep Our Brains Healthy D．How Singing Improves Your Health 【答案】20．C 21．B 22．D 【导语】本文主要讨论了唱歌对健康的好处，尤其是对老年人的健康有显著的积极影响。 20．细节理解题。根据“If you ever have the desire to break out into song in the shower, in the car, maybe at your neighbor’s karaoke night—you should embrace it whole-heartedly. This ancient art not only makes you feel good, but it can also improve your well-being, reduce your feelings of pain, and even extend your life.”可知，第一段主要介绍了唱歌对健康的好处，并提出了唱歌可以改善健康、减轻疼痛、延长寿命等观点。因此作者在第一段中提出了自己的观点。故选C。 21．细节理解题。根据“Cohen said, ‘The average age of all the subjects was eighty. This is higher than life expectancy. So, if an effect were to be achieved, one would ordinarily expect to see less decline (下降) compared to the control group. The fact that there was so much improvement in many areas was the surprising factor.’”可知，Cohen对研究结果感到惊讶是因为参与艺术活动的老年人的健康状况有了显著改善，这超出了他的预期。故选B。 22．最佳标题题。本文主要讨论了唱歌对健康的好处，尤其是对老年人的健康有显著的积极影响。因此，最佳标题是“唱歌如何改善你的健康”。故选D。 （23-24九年级上·江苏苏州·阶段练习）Many students have already had clear ideas about what jobs they would like to have in the future.

Or the wonder of going somewhere new and different, climbing a mountain or enjoying extreme sports like snowboarding. These are the adventures we “thrill seekers (寻找刺激的人)” live for. But sometimes we also need to know when to slow down. Recently, I went quad biking (摩托车越野), or ATV driving, on a track in the mountains. After a brief instructional exercise and what seemed like lots of waiting, we put on our helmets (头盔), started our engines and got onto the track. The sound of the engine was exciting. As I got more confident, I couldn’t help overtaking other drivers whenever I got the chance. Finally, the way forward opened up and I went ahead of the others. I turned toward a small hill and raced down. As I soon found out, this was a big mistake. My ATV turned over at full speed. Luckily, I knew it was happening and pushed myself out of the way of the falling ATV. If I had not, I probably would have broken my leg beneath the weight of the ATV or even lost it. I might have even broken my neck. It ended up turning out fine, apart from some soreness (疼痛) in my chest for a week or so. This was a surprise for my friend. After seeing the accident, he said to me, “Dude, I thought you were dead.” Perhaps I could have died, if I hadn’t been lucky that day. That event was one I’ll always remember for the adventure and the near-death experience. It’s good to be adventurous, but it’s still really important to be wise and careful too. So, go on adventures, but be smart while you’re on them! 25．What did the author do before starting his quad biking adventure? A．He checked his ATV again and again. B．He shared his experience with other drivers. C．He received some instruction and waited. D．He made a personal survey of the track. 26．What does the underlined word “overtaking” in paragraph 2 most likely mean? A．Following. B．Directing. C．Going past. D．Talking with. 27．What happened when the author tried to race down a small hill? A．He slowed down. B．He hit his friend’s ATV. C．He broke his neck and leg. D．He lost control of his ATV. 28．What’s the main message the author wants to convey in the text? A．Accidents are a natural part of adventures. B．It is fun to live an adventurous life. C．Never be afraid of failure in life. D．Keep safety in mind while on an adventure. 【答案】25．C 26．C 27．D 28．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者的一次摩托车越野比赛经历。通过此次经历，作者认为勇于冒险是件好事，但我们要保持谨慎和注意安全。 25．细节理解题。结合“After a brief instructional exercise and what seemed like lots of waiting, we put on our helmets (头盔), started our engines and got onto the track.”可知，比赛前，骑手们接受了指示并等着。故选C。 26．词句猜测题。结合“I couldn’t help overtaking other drivers whenever I got the chance. Finally, the way forward opened up and I went ahead of the others.”可知，这里是指作者超越其他骑手，跑在了前面，所以划线单词“overtaking”的意思与选项C“Going past”相近，意为“超越”。故选C。 27．推理判断题。结合“I turned toward a small hill and raced down. As I soon found out, this was a big mistake. My ATV turned over at full speed.”可知，作者在尝试快速下坡时失去了对摩托车的控制。故选D。 28．推理判断题。结合“ It’s good to be adventurous, but it’s still really important to be wise and careful too. So, go on adventures, but be smart while you’re on them!”可知，作者认为勇于冒险是件好事，但我们要保持谨慎和注意安全。故选D。 （22-23九年级上·江苏南京·期中） What’s your dream job? How much do you know about it? A group of students from Tianjin found a very common problem among young teenagers: Most of them have little idea about their career plans as there is too little help from school or family. To offer teenagers helpful advice on career, the students from Tianjin TEDA NO.1 Middle School started a project called “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi (点职成诗)”. “Our survey shows that 72% of students want to know more about different jobs. Doctors, accountants and lawyers are the top three,” said Wang Xinran, 16, the project leader. According to students’ needs, the team interviewed 32 excellent workers with different jobs and put their interviews on the Internet. These workers shared true stories behind each job, allowing students to learn about the jobs further. “We also invited the workers to give speeches in our school. In this way, students could have a chance to talk to them face to face,” said Wang. Team member Lu Jinyan said his most impressive interview was with a photographer. “I used to think being a photographer was cool and romantic (浪漫的). But now I realize that they need to deal with lots of problems, such as a sudden change of weather or broken cameras. They also need to communicate with different people. This is not easy.” But the project doesn’t mean to disappoint (使失望) students by telling them the truth. “We want to show the workers’ love and spirit of never giving up instead of the bad sides,” said group member Zhao Yajie. “The project’s name means to turn a career into a poem. We believe working is not just about bread and butter. It should be like a poem, full of love and beauty. And we hope our project can let students know that.” 29．Why did the students start “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi”? A．To provide useful career advice for teenagers. B．To turn students’ dream jobs into beautiful poems. C．To deal with problems students may meet in family. D．To help students communicate with different people. 30．The project can help students do the following things EXCEPT ________. A．learning about the true job situation B．interviewing team members face to face C．getting chances to talk to excellent workers D．having a better understanding of different jobs 31．What does the project member Lu Jinyan think of being a photographer now? A．Cool and romantic. B．Hard and challenging. C．Exciting and amazing. D．Practical and meaningful. 32．What is the best title for the passage? A．Knowing your dream jobs B．Dealing with your study problems C．Communicating with people D．Helping teenagers have interviews 【答案】29．A 30．B 31．B 32．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了天津一所中学的学生创办的“点职成诗”项目，它旨在为学生提供有关未来职业的有用的建议。 29．细节理解题。根据“To offer teenagers helpful advice on career, the students from Tianjin TEDA NO.1 Middle School started a project called ‘Dian Zhi Cheng Shi (点职成诗)’.”可知，“点职成诗”项目旨在给青少年提供有用的职业方面的建议。故选A。 30．细节理解题。根据“We also invited the workers to give speeches in our school. In this way, students could have a chance to talk to them face to face”可知，是学生们与不同工作的人面对面交谈，而不是“面对面采访组员”。故选B。 31．细节理解题。根据文中“But now I realize that they need to deal with lots of problems, such as a sudden change of weather or broken cameras. They also need to communicate with different people. This is not easy.”可知，他现在认识到了摄影师是不容易的，要处理很多问题以及和不同的人沟通，因此这个工作是艰苦并具有挑战性的。故选B。 32．最佳标题题。阅读全文可知，本文主要介绍了一个为学生提供有关未来职业的有用的建议的“点职成诗”的项目，因此A选项“了解你梦想的职业”适合做文章标题。故选A。 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
