2024-2025学年九年级英语全册单元重难点专题提优训练（人教版） Unit3 话题回答问题专练 （1） There are some apologetic terms (表示歉意的用语) in English. It seems that they mean the same thing. They almost do. However, what’s the difference between “Pardon?”, “I’m sorry”, “Excuse me” and “What?”. Pardon? Americans don’t really use “Pardon?”. If you do, they will probably joke that you’re trying to sound pretentious (炫耀的) or joke that you’re British. I’m sorry. We often use “I’m sorry” for past events. That’s to say, it is generally used to apologize for something you have already done. For example, if you step on someone’s foot on a crowded bus, you would say “I’m sorry” or “Sorry”. Excuse me. This is generally a term to ask permission (允许) for something. For example, you’re walking through a crowded space and someone is in your way. You would say “Excuse me” to ask him/her to move out of your way. What? Americans usually use it to ask someone to repeat himself/herself. If you want to be politer, you could say, I’m sorry, what was that?” or “Excuse me, what did you say?” or any other such thing. Most Americans just say “What?” though. In our daily life, we can also use these terms by mixing them up. You could, for example, ask someone to move by saying “Sorry, would you mind moving?” It’s an extra-polite way to make your request. 1．Who say “Pardon?” more often, Americans or the British? _____________________________________________________________________ 2．Which term is used for future events according to the passage? _____________________________________________________________________ 3．When do Americans usually say “What?” _____________________________________________________________________ 4．请将画线句子翻译成汉语。 _____________________________________________________________________ 5．What is the passage mainly about? _____________________________________________________________________ （2） Mary was waiting for the airplane to take off. She got a seat by herself. Just then, an air hostess came up to her and asked, “Could you please change your seat? A man would like to sit with his wife.” Mary felt unhappy because the only seat was next to a girl with her arms broken, a black-and-blue face, and a sad expression. “I don’t want to sit there,” Mary thought immediately. But the air hostess said, “The girl needs help.” Finally, Mary moved to that seat. The girl was named Emily. She was hurt in a car accident and now was on her way for treatment. When the snacks and juice arrived, Mary realized that Emily could not feed herself. Mary considered offering to feed her but hesitated (犹豫的), as it seemed too impolite to offer a service to a stranger. But then Mary realized that Emily’s need was more important. Mary offered to help her eat. Although Emily was uncomfortable to accept, she agreed. They became closer and closer in a short time. Mary was very glad that she had sat next to Emily and fed her. After the five-hour trip, Mary’s heart was warm, and she had a pleasant time. Love always goes around us. We should help people in need, and our world will become more and more wonderful. 1．How did Mary feel at first when an air hostess asked her to change her seat? _____________________________________________________________________ 2．What happened to Emily? _____________________________________________________________________ 3．What did Mary do for Emily when the food arrived? _____________________________________________________________________ 4．Did Mary realize that Emily’s need was more important? _____________________________________________________________________ 5．What can we learn from the passage? _____________________________________________________________________ （3） Usually, when we talk about reading, we think of using our eyes to see letters written in ink on paper. However, this is not always true. For example, blind people cannot see, but they can still read books. The man who introduced blind people to reading was Louis Braille. Braille lost his eyesight at the age of three. When he was ten, he went to a school for the blind in Paris. In those days, books for blind people used paper pressed against metal wire to form letters. Since the metal wire was heavy, each book weighed as much as 100 pounds. Indeed, the school library only had fourteen such books in it. In 1821, a soldier（士兵）visited the school and showed the students a system （系统）for passing messages at night. His system used paper with small, raised dots that could be felt with the fingers. Each letter of the alphabet was symbolized by a different pattern which consisted of twelve dots. The soldiers would pull their fingers over the raised dots to read the message. While the students found the soldier’s idea interesting, the system was too difficult to be of practical use. However, young Louis Braille took the idea and worked on it. At the age of fifteen, he created a system with patterns of six raised dots symbolizing each letter. “Braille”, the system for reading used today by blind people around the world, was thus born. The blind can easily recognize（辨别）Braille with their fingers. They can also easily write in Braille with a special typewriter. Today, it is the most common system used by blind people for reading and writing, and nearly every language, including Chinese, has its own version（版本）of Braille for its people to use. 1．Who introduced blind people to reading? 2．When did a soldier visit the school and show the students a system? 3．How old was Louis Braille when he created a system? 4．How can Chinese blind recognize “Braille”? 5．What do you think of Louis Braille? （4） Folk music is a kind of popular music．It comes from the people of any country．Folk singers sing songs from centuries ago， and they also write songs．They want to express their feelings about new things in the world today． The word"folk" means " people "．Folk songs tell stories about people．For example，the songs tell about their jobs and work，their friends，and their lives． They also express ideas such as love and war．The words in the songs are an important part of the music． In the United States and Europe，folk music became very popular during the 1960s．Fans listened to folk singers perform at concerts．The singer told stories，sang，and played the guitar Fans listened to the music and often sang along with the performer．Some of the folk singers during this time were the Kingston Trio； Peter，Paul and Mary； Pete Seeger，and the Weavers． Later， people began to play this kind of music themselves at schools，at parties， and at home alone．Today fans can still hear folk music at concerts．They can also buy CDs and DVDs by new folk performers．They can listen to folk music on the Internet． 1．When did folk music begin？ 2．Why do people want to write folk songs？ 3．Are the words important in folk songs？ 4．Where did people enjoy folk music in the 1960s？ 5．Can people hear folk songs on the Internet？ Whose folk songs do you like best？ （5） There are many holidays and festivals. Dads have Father’s Day Mums have Mother’s Day But do our grandparents have a special festival? Yes, they do! The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for older people in China. It started long ago. The festival is on lunar September 9th. On this day, people show love and respect to their grandparents. There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect. When an older person enters a room, everyone stands. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we present a book to an older person, two hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus. Respecting older people is a tradition in China. That’s because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. Chinese people are proud of being old. In Western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old. They are called “seniors” instead of “old people”. They’d rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement (退休) they take up hobbies, part-time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well. Westerners respect their older people, too. Usually, seniors don’t have to buy tickets for trains and buses. They are given discounts (打折) in stores and restaurants. But Western seniors don’t often live with their children—they live alone. For holidays, the family usually gather at the grandparents’home, and a great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for grown children to show their respect. 1．When is the double ninth Festival? 2．How many ways in which Chinese people express their respect are mentioned? 3．What can the young learn from older people? 4．Can seniors in Western countries take the trains for free? 5．How do Western grown children show their respect? （6） The Chongyang Festival is a traditional Chinese festival. It is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar(阴历) month. It's also called the Double Ninth Festival. The festival started as early as the Warring States Period (475-221BC). It has a history of more than 1, 700 years. Among the numbers from zero to nine, nine is the highest odd number(奇数). People believe that two "ninths" meeting together stand for a long life. So it is a special  holiday for Chinese people to show love and respect for their elders. They hold many kinds of  activities in honor of old people to wish them good health and a long life. The festival comes during the golden time of fall. On the day, people traditionally drink Chrysanthemum(菊花)wine, eat Double-Ninth Cakes and climb mountains. They also carry a kind of plant, its name is dogwood, People in ancient times believed that the plant could drive away evil(邪恶的) spirits and prevent them from catching an illness in winter.

Perhaps some of you will say “no”. In fact, being a teenager is hard. You may worry about a lot of things in your life. Do you know what British teenagers worry about most? You can find the answer from the chart below. The research was done by the UK's Department of Health among more than 100，000 teenagers. Here are the results. Many Chinese teenagers share similar worries with the British teenagers. A recent research shows that many Chinese teenagers suffer from social life, study and emotional problems. To solve the problems, some schools came up with the idea of happiness education. For example, Tsinghua University High School tried to meet students' needs. It built a skating rink and different laboratories to develop their interest. While schools take action, students themselves can do something, too. The professor Nadia Lovett from Australia believes students' habits, hobbies and attitude toward life all play a role in their happiness. 1．Which is the biggest worry of British teenagers? __________________________________________________________________ 2．What percent of British teenagers worry about smoking? __________________________________________________________________ 3．How did Tsinghua University High School meet students' needs? __________________________________________________________________ 4．According to Nadia Lovett, what influences students' happiness? __________________________________________________________________ 5．What do you often worry about in your life? __________________________________________________________________ (8) Is it difficult for you to remember things? I`d like to tell you some ways to improve your memory, so you shouldn`t feel upset. My first advice is that if you want to remember something well, you have to review it regularly(有规律地). You might review the material two days after you learn it, then a week later, then two weeks later, and then a month later. After a month you will find that you can easily remember the material. My second advice is to use a colored pen to highlight （标注）the important parts on your book. This will help you in two days. First, it will help you pay attention to the most important parts when you learn the language. It is always easier to remember only the key points. Second, this will make reviewing easier. When you open your book, the colored parts will show you the most important things quickly. In this way, you don`t have to review all the material again. Another piece of advice is to use the proper time well. First, review all the information in your mind right before you go to sleep. Your brain is working while you are sleeping. If you think about the information before you go to sleep, you might be able to remember it better. Another good time for memorizing information is in the morning because you have just rested and your brain is fresh and clear. So you might also try to review the important information in the morning. 1．How long may it take you to remember the material easily if you review it regularly? ____________________________________________________________________ 2．Is it easier to use a colored pen to help remember the key points? ____________________________________________________________________ 3．What is the good time to review information? ____________________________________________________________________ 4．How many pieces of advice does the writer give? ____________________________________________________________________ 5．What is the passage mainly about? ____________________________________________________________________ (9) Asking for directions is important. However, people become confused(困惑的) easily when listening to someone giving directions. So pay careful attention when listening to someone showing directions. For example, he or she may tell you, “Go down the street and turn right at the first crossing. Walk two miles, and then you will find a movie theater and China Bank is across from the theater.” After listening to someone providing directions in English, are you clear? Here is some advice to help you remember the directions. Be sure to ask the person giving directions to slow down or repeat politely; Repeat each direction the person gives. This will help you remember the names of street, turns, and crossings; Finally, repeat the whole set of directions again. Of course, remember to be polite when you ask for directions. Here come two tips: ·Use greetings and polite expressions. Staring the conversation with a greeting is a must like “Good afternoon!” or “Hello! May I ask for some help?” Remember to finish with expressions such as “Thank you!” or “Have a nice day!” ·Use modal verbs(情态动词). For example, it sounds more polite to say, “Excuse me, would you like to tell me the way to Xinhua Bookstore?” But it sounds impolite if you say, “Tell me the way to Xinhua Bookstore.” 1．What should people do when they listen to someone giving directions? _____________________________________________________________________ 2．Where is the bank according to the first paragraph? _____________________________________________________________________ 3．What is the chart about? _____________________________________________________________________ 4．According to the last two paragraphs, how to be polite when people ask for directions? _____________________________________________________________________ 5．How can you ask the way if you want to go to the washroom? _____________________________________________________________________ (10) My dear friends, I’m writing to invite you to my new house in the country.

Follow it and you’ll see a chicken farm. Don’t make any turns. Keep going and you’ll see a bridge. Cross the bridge and there will be a big tree on your left. Walk past the tree, take the first right turn, and then walk for five more minutes. You’ll see several houses. My house is at the end of the road, next to the river.
