专题06 任务型阅读 北京市海淀区2023-2024学年度第一学期期中九年级英语 七．阅读表达（第46-48题2分，第49题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The Zhongshan Eye Center at the Sun Yat—sen University has achieved a milestone in the field of eye surgery (手术). Doctors there completed the world's first remote(远程的) micron (纳米的）operation on animals by using an independently developed 5G robot. The operation, which took place on June 23 at the center in Guangzhou, was done by a medical team operating the robot from the Zhongshan Eye Center in Haikou. The main part of the robot is a special arm that makes accurate(精准的) remote control possible. When it comes to treating eye problems, the common way is to put medicine directly into the eye area which needs treatment. But doctors' hands shake naturally, making it difficult to be very accurate. The robot can copy tasks usually done by hand, and it performs them steadily (稳定地)b) and accurately. Another advantage is that even young doctors can perform eye surgery with 5G robot's help. According to Professor Lin, the leader of the medical team, becoming a skilled eye doctor takes at least 10 years of practice. However, with the help of the robot, young doctors can achieve a high level of accuracy comparable to experienced doctors. The third important point is that using 5G makes it possible for doctors to treat patients far away. Eye doctors can get clear and timely pictures, which makes remote operations dependable. Still, it's important to remember that while this technology is promising, more research and tests are needed to make sure it's safe and works well for patients. "If everything goes well, 5G remote micron eye surgery will be available to humans within half a year," Lin said. The team will keep working hard to help develop remote medicine in China and increase national medical levels. 46．How did doctors in the Zhongshan Eye Center complete the operation? 47．What is the main part of the robot? 48．When will 5G remote micron eye surgery be probably available to humans? 49．When 5G remote micron eye surgery is available, would you like to advise your friends who need eye surgery to try it? Why or why not? (Give at least two reasons.) 北京市东城区二中教育集团2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中 四、任务型阅读 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Why Learning a New Language Is Good for the Whole Family? Ever thought of making language learning part of your family’s activities? Learning a new language together can have unexpected emotional benefits for the whole family. Combining (兼顾) family time and language learning time is a great way to have more quality time with your family. Learning a new language as a family can be a fun group activity. Everyone loves a game night or movie night. You can play games like Bingo, using vocabulary from the target language. Or maybe you have a particular vacation destination (目的地) you love where another language is widely spoken—learning that language together could make your next vacation even more enjoyable. They’re a fun way to break up the daily routine (常规) and reconnect with those you love. Language is all about communication and connection. Learning a new language brings family members closer because they talk to each other all the time when learning. All you have to do is change to your new language and practice with your family members whenever you want—no classroom needed. Telling family stories with what you have recently learned is a good place to start, which could inspire questions and additional conversations, and even create a familect—secret words and phrases shared only among the members of your family. If your family is big on gardening, make labels (标签) together for your plants and tools. Making fun labels in your target language together can also help you connect with loved family members. It opens up more opportunities like family contests. You could surprise each other with notes on pillows, bathroom mirrors, inside dresser drawers—any place your family will find them. Using these words later recalls these family memories. Each family is really its own little unique social world, and that world is being built through language. The power of language learning lies in its ability to draw people together. 34．What is a great way to have more quality time with your family? 35．Why does studying a new language bring family members closer? 36．Where does the power of language learning lie? 37．Would you like to learn a new language with your family? Why or why not?

She was in the car with her family on the way home, when a big wildfire came in sight and forced them to turn back. “I saw it in person,” she says. “The air pollution was so bad that we were told not to step outside of our car, or outside of our house. ” At the same time, Prisha remembered seeing other wildfires on the news. She thought, “This isn’t just a small problem, it’s a worldwide problem.” And she decided to look for a way to help. The opportunity came when she attended her middle-school science fair. For her project, Prisha decided to design a system that could discover and put out wildfires. Using A．L and satellite imagery （卫星影像）, it could know where wildfires would take place and also discover active fires. In 2021, Prisha won the Lemelson Award for Invention, whose goal is to encourage young future scientists, engineers, and inventors to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges. “That was the first big prize that I’d gotten,” she says. “It really gave me confidence to find ways to solve big problems, and that I have the ability to make a big difference. ” Now 16, Prisha is working hard on her design to help fire stations. It is a drone sent to an active fire to spread retardant （阻燃剂）. “If they discover a wildfire, the drone can fly there, put it out, and come back.” Prisha says.   Prisha is crazy about creating solutions to not only mitigate （缓解）wildfires, but also the effects of climate change in general. “This is our planet, we should take care of it, ” she says. Prisha now runs a special program at her school, and has spoken at the United Nations about the importance of learning certain knowledge and coming up with more inventions to help fight against climate change. To future young inventors, Prisha says the key is to not simply hope something happens, but to actually try hard to make it happen, “You don’t need to change the whole world, but you can still change someone’s whole world, ” she says. 34．What did Prisha see on the way home? 35．What is the goal of Lemelson Award for Invention! 36．How will Prisha’s drone help fire stations? 37．Among Prisha’s qualities （品格）, which one(s) do you value the most? Why? 北京市汇文中学教育集团2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中考试英语试题 四、任务型阅读 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Dancing Lions This time of year, you might see lions dancing in the street as drums beat heavily. These aren’t real lions. They’re dancers in colorful clothes, celebrating a centuries-old tradition in China. People perform lion dances because they hope to bring good luck in the coming year. In many Asian countries, the new year is celebrated with the new moon that take places in late January or early February. Usually, a lion is made up of two dancers. One dancer controls the head, the other controls the tail. There are many different kinds of lion dances. The most wonderful moment might be jumping on high poles. “I think of it as a sport,” says Anthony Huang, 15, a dancer at New York City’s Chinese Freemasons Athletic Club. Anthony has performed as the lion’s tail, but this is his first year controlling the head, which can weigh 20 pounds. The challenges are co-working with the other members in the group and following the music with the heavy head. It’s important for Anthony to pass on this historical dance form. “I feel like this tradition really represents me,” he says. Lion dances were once performed mostly by males. These days, the activity has become more inclusive (包容广阔的). LionDanceMe is a group in San Francisco, California. On its dance teams, boys and girls work together. Sixteen-year-old Ananda Tang-Lee is a member. She used to see boys performing the lion dancing when she was little. She says, “But anyone can take it up. You have to believe in yourself, and have confidence that you can do it.” During the COVID-19 pandemic (新冠肺炎疫情), LionDanceMe didn’t give up performing. Instead, the group showed its performances online. This has got the dance group even more excited to perform in person again, when it’s safe. “It’s a different performance in real life,” says Isabella Yu, 16, who plays drums, “We bring a lot more than just the performance. We bring energy and excitement, too.” Lion dancing will likely continue to develop gradually. But one thing that will never change is the sense of community among team members. “It’s really great, because we always have each other’s backs.” Ananda says, “We call it a family.” 34．Why do people perform lion dances? 35．What challenges does Anthony have to face when he controls the head? 36．How did LionDanceMe perform during the COVID-19 pandemic? 37．Would you like to try the lion dancing? Why or why not? (List at least 2 points) 北京市顺义区仁和中学2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中考试 五、任务型阅读 Some people say that today reading is not as important as it was. These days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph? Why read a novel when we can see a film? Why read I a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on radio and TV? Photography is certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书), for example, is always better when it has good pictures. But we also need words to explain the photographs. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact (精确的) size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on. In the same way, a good film has action, movement, colour, and maybe music. These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film (故事片). Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently. Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world. Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get the reading habit. Read at least a little every day. 34．Why some people say reading is not as important as it was? 35．What can photographs give people? 36．What are the advantages of a novel over a feature film? 37．Why is reading important? What do/will you do to practice reading? 北京市陈经纶中学2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 四、任务型阅读 How to Spend Your Weekend Alone Without Losing It There can be many, many stories behind weekends spent alone.    In the 4 years that I’ve been living on my own now, I’ve achieved the feat(壮举) of spending 208 weekends alone. Based on(基于) this mind-blowing success, here’s a practical guide so that you, too, can spend your weekends, alone. 1.Go to a Free Gig(演出) Coffee shops, libraries and local places often host free gigs, so see if there is anything going on in your area this weekend. Concerts can actually be much more rewarding(有意义的) when you go alone. 2.Go on a Long Walk Going for a long walk and experiencing nature is often more enjoyable if you are alone, as it is peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. You can stop to appreciate every beautiful flower you pass, and hear all of the quiet, busy sounds of nature. 3.Order Your Favourite Take Out Food Get the menu and order your favourite take-away. As you don’t have to share it with anyone else, you can order as much food as you want. 4.Take a Shopping Trip Alone Bring down any shopping stress by taking the trip alone. Other people can slow you down or make you hurry up, and you can end up missing out on the best clothes. Take a relaxing trip alone and take your time trying everything on: you are likely to have a great day and find something you love. 5.Watch a TV Show You Love The best part about watching television alone is that you can watch whatever you want. Put on your comfortable clothes, get some food and put your feet up for hours of watching. 34．What is the practical guide based on? 35．How many ways of spending the weekend are there in the guide? 36．Why is going for a long walk and experiencing nature more enjoyable if you are alone? 37．When you are alone, how do you spend your weekend? And why? 北京市丰台区2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中英语试卷 四 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The Future Is Far Away! Alyssa Carson is a teenager and she already has a big dream for her future. If her dream comes true, she’ll fly into space. But she doesn’t want to orbit（环绕……运行）the earth on the space station or go to the moon. Alyssa wants to travel to Mars, the red planet. So, is this just a dream? No. Alyssa made the decision when she was three years old because the idea was exciting and “no one’s been there!” After that she read lots of books on Mars and attended her first space camp when she was seven. Since then, she’s learned a lot about travelling to other planets. It’s an expensive trip which requires many years of training. This is a problem for Alyssa’s family, but her parents try to support her because she has been trying her best to make her dream come true. Alyssa believes we are the Mars generation and that the mission（飞行任务） to Mars will help us get to know the planet better. More than 100, 000 people have already applied（申请）for a journey to Mars. If they pass the tests, like Alyssa, they will start a training program. She has a certificate（证书）in scuba diving and is already working on her pilot’s license. Both these things, as well as a certificate in skydiving are important for an astronaut’s training. And it’s necessary to speak several languages if you want to be an astronaut. Alyssa speaks Spanish, French, Chinese and some Turkish, so this should be enough! Only a few people can go on the first Mars mission. The flight to Mars won’t be easy. They will spend hundreds of days together in a very tight space! So, if you were an astronaut on Mars, what would life be like? You would live in an extremely small space called a “pod” and you would wear a space suit all the time. If you made a phone call home, it would take half an hour for the sound to reach the earth! Also, if you got ill, there wouldn’t be any hospitals. Life wouldn’t be as easy, that’s for sure! But it would be really exciting. 34. Where does Alyssa want to travel? ______________ _____ 35. Why do Alyssa’s parents support her? _____________ ______ 36. What are the important things for an astronaut’s training? _______________ ____ 37. What do you think of Alyssa? Why do you think so? （List two reasons） _______________ ____ 2023北京大兴初三（上）期中 第二部分(本部分共5题，共20分。) 四、阅读表达(第1-3每小题2分,第4小题4分,共10分) 阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。 Inventions have played an important role in shaping the world we live in today. From the wheel to the Internet, these inventions have changed the way we live, work and communicate. Let’s look back on some of the most important inventions in human history and their influence on society. One of the earliest and most influential inventions was the wheel. The wheel has been used for transportation, farming, and manufacturing (制造业) for thousands of years. It completely changed the way goods were transported and traded, making it easier and faster to move from one place to another. Another important invention was the printing press, which was invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century. The printing press made it possible to mass-produce books, leading to an explosion (爆炸) in the spread of knowledge. The steam engine (蒸汽机) is another important invention that transformed the world. It was invented by James Watt in the 18th century and enabled machines to be powered by steam, rather than water or animals. This led to the development of new industries such as iron production and transportation. The telephone is perhaps one of the most recognizable inventions of all time. Alexander Graham Bell’s invention in 1876 revolutionized communication, allowing people to talk to each other over long distances. It has become an important tool for businesses, governments, and individuals alike. Finally, the Internet is perhaps the most transformative invention of our time. Created by Tim Berners-Lee in the 1980s, it has changed the way we get information, connect with others, and business. It has also had a great influence on culture, entertainment, and social media. In conclusion, inventions have played a key role in shaping human history and society. And inventors have created the great inventions. If we want to keep pushing the boundaries (界限) of what is possible, it is clear that our world needs more creative and talented inventors. 34. What is one of the earliest and most influential inventions according to the passage? ________________________ ________ 35. Who invented the steam engine? ________________________ ________ 36. How has the Internet changed our world? ________________________ ________ 37. Would you like to be an inventor? Why or why not?

She has spent much of her life climbing mountains in the world’s most places, often completely alone. In her recent book, she tells her expeditions and the lessons she’s learned along the way. “I see adventure as a creative pursuit(追求), one where I’m inventing challenges(挑战) for myself. They don’t need to make sense to anyone else. In this case, I started with a goal to run across Kyrgyzstan. No one had ever done it before, and everyone told me it couldn’t be done. But I went, and I did it, And on that trip, I became the best of myself but finishing a big project like that left a hole, and I felt pretty depressed(沮丧的) afterward. So I decided to just keep going.” She said. She also said that during the journey, so many things happened—some are scary, some are beautiful. We always have to set a record or we’ve always got to be the best. A thousand people could run across these mountains and come back with a thousand different stories. “So many of us grow up in environments where we’re always looked after. Each solo(单独的) trip I took was a revelation(启示) of my abilities. I’ve gotten myself into some bad situations and I’ve had to think creatively to get myself out.

Sherry was once upset and disappointed while working on a hard job. Then her boss gave her a card. The card with just two little words was what made her realize she wasn’t alone. The two words? You Matter. Sherry said she almost cried when she read the message. “I’ve fought at times with my own self-worth, and when I received the card, it felt like a question I carried around with me had been answered—I matter.” Sherry was so touched that she ordered 100 of her own cards to give away. “I met a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When I asked her how she was doing, the woman said, ‘Not so good. My husband just lost his job. The truth is, I don’t know how I’m going to get through the holidays.’ My heart ached, I wanted to help but didn’t know how. Then I remembered something in my hag that might help her.’ It sounds like you’re going through a really hard time. I’d like to give you something.” And I handed her a “You Matter” card. When she read it, she began to cry.” You have no idea how much this means to me, “she said thankfully.” “Without that card, I wouldn’t have gone up to that woman and said anything,” she says. Sherry thought the experience was so powerful that she decided to send sets of 30 “You Matter” cards free to anyone who signed up online as long as the person promised to give the cards away. She called the event the “You Matter Marathon(马拉松)” because the cards can pass on people’s kindness and care about each other. The idea was more successful than she’d expected and the cards have changed many people’s lives. Julie, a participant(参与者), says, “Having the ‘You Mater’ cards ready to hand out has allowed me to really look at people. This is making me a much more connected human.” 47. Who gave Sherry a card when she was working on a hard job? ________________________ ________ 48. How did Sherry help the old woman? __________________________ ______ 49.

How do you know your mother is angry when she frowns（皱眉）? In both cases, the person is telling us something not with words, but with facial expressions. Facial expressions are one or more movements on a person’s face, such as frowning, raising one’s eyebrows（眉毛）, and nose and lip（嘴唇）movements. They express people’s feelings. Scientists at Oxford University have shown that humans have 80 muscles（肌肉）on their faces. These muscles can create more than 7,000 facial expressions. However, there are six main kinds of facial expressions that are common in all cultures: happiness, sadness, surprise, fear, anger and disgust（厌恶）. Facial expressions are very important to communication. One study at UCLA, in the US, showed that in most conversations, over 93 percent of the communicating is done without speaking. If people can read facial expressions, they may be better at knowing what other people are feeling, so they can understand them better. Someone who does not enjoy a certain type of food usually will make a face when he/she sees or tastes it. A frown means worry or anger. Raised eyebrows and open eyes show surprise. However, there are some taboos（禁忌）for reading people’s facial expressions. For example, it is not a good idea to stare at someone for a long time while reading his or her facial expressions. They may think you are rude. 33．What are facial expressions? 34．How many facial expressions can our face muscles create? 35．Why are facial expressions important? 36．What is the passage mainly about? Besides making facial expressions, what else can you do to show your happiness? 北京市第八中学2022-2023学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 四、任务型阅读 Cloud Forests In the Americas, Asia, and Africa, there's a special kind of forest—the cloud forest. Cloud forests are usually found from 500 meters to 4,000 meters above sea level in the clouds on the slopes （斜坡）of mountains. They experience rainfall, but they also get water straight from the air. The water is unpolluted, and moves through the ground into streams and then rivers. Cloud forests are very important to both people who live nearby and the animals and plants living there. They provide water to nearby villages and cities. People drink the water, use it for cooking, and irrigate （灌溉） their farm fields with it. In Kenya, people even use water from cloud forests to produce electricity. Although cloud forests only make up 2.5 percent of the world's rainforests, they are also home to many animals and plants. Unfortunately, cloud forests now face many problems. Local poor people clear the cloud forests. They cut down trees to grow food and use the wood to heat their homes and cook. Building roads also badly harms the cloud forests. Once cloud forests are cleared, the cloud cover, which is important and necessary to the growth of these forests, goes away. Another bigger worry is that the temperature increases gradually. If world temperatures rise, cloud forests will have to move up to a higher place where the temperatures are cooler. But some cloud forests on mountain tops with nowhere to climb will die out. Scientists fear we might lose cloud forests, along with the water and other services they provide. Some governments have taken actions to protect cloud forests. They make laws against cutting down trees in the cloud forests. They provide the local people with other ways to get food and energy. They also educate the local people on how cloud forests provide fresh water and what will happen when they are cleared. Cloud forests are too valuable to lose. We must save them—plus the animals and plants they support—before it's too late. 34．How many meters above sea level are cloud forests usually found? ______________________________ ________________________________ 35．Where does the water in the cloud forests come from? _____________________________ _________________________________ 36．Why are cloud forests important to people in the nearby villages and cities? ______________________________ ________________________________ 37．What problems do cloud forests face? ________________________________ ______________________________ 38．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? _________________________________ _____________________________ 北京市第二中学2022-2023学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 四、任务型阅读 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 When you take notes in your classes, are you confident that you’ll actually go back and look over them? Or do you just write out your notes in class and then completely forget all of the information you wrote down? A useful note-taking method can not only save you precious time and energy, but also help you better understand what you learn. This well-known note-taking method is called the Cornell Note-taking System. It was first developed in the 1940s by education professor Walter Pauk at Cornell University to help students learn. According to Cornell Notes, each page is divided into three sections: the note-taking column, the cue column （提示栏） and summary space. It’s very easy. You just need to draw two lines on your note page, leaving a 2.5-inch margin on the left and a 2-inch margin on the bottom. The note-taking column, which is the biggest space is used to write down notes while you are in class or reading an article. The key point is that you don’t write down what you hear word by word. It requires you to be very brief, using short phrases, symbols or keywords to replace long sentences. To help with future review, you can write some related questions on the left. The next step is to cover the note-taking column with a sheet of paper or your hand. Then, by only looking at the questions for key words, try to repeat the content in your own words. The summary space is designed to help you reflect on what you’ve learned. Questions may also be useful. For example, what’s the significance of these facts? What principles are they based on? What’s beyond them? You can also write down your own ideas and personal feelings. Don’t forget to review from time to time so that you will remember the information more easily. Practice makes perfect. After a few months of using this handy note-taking method, you are sure to become the note-taking star of your class. And even better, you’ll finally be able to remember what you have learned. 34．Who first developed the Cornell Note-taking System? 35．What is the biggest space used to do? 36．How can you use the cue column? 37．Why is the summary space designed? 38．Would you like to use this note-taking method? Why or why not? 北京市第九中学2022-2023学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 四、任务型阅读 When it comes to celebrations, birthday parties can be one of the important of the whole year. The gifts, the singing, the candle-blowing... Basically, they’re all the best things thrown together into one day. But birthdays aren’t always a fun for everyone. For example, homeless children might not get anything at all for their special day. That’s why 17-year-old Daryn Dusansky decided to start The Balloon Project. It celebrates monthly birthdays for children living in homeless shelters (收容所) with the help of some volunteers. Dusansky’s dream: to bring smiles to all kids’ faces on their birthdays. As teenagers, they met many challenges at the beginning. One of the biggest was to make others believe that The Balloon Project was dependable and there would be a party each month. Each party is not easy as there are many things that have to be managed. Luckily, The Balloon Project volunteers want each party to be better than the last and can be counted on to make that happen. Getting The Balloon Project off the ground required many leadership qualities (品质) which Dusansky did not know she owned. Working hard, focusing on solutions, and connecting with people are all necessary qualities that have made The Balloon Project a success. Offering services to those in need and creating a positive influence are important in being an active member of a community. Community service teaches life lessons often not taught in school. At one party, a little boy and his father came up to thank her for holding the boy’s first organized birthday party. Dusansky then thanked them for teaching her something, too. The father, who lived in a shelter with his son, looked at her, puzzled, as if he was not worthy of teaching her anything. Dusansky explained to him that he had taught her to have the courage to ask for help when needed. She will never forget his hug. Find a cause that interests you. Dusansky loves birthday celebrations and wants disadvantaged children to have the opportunity to celebrate, too. Love is passed on easily—it encourages people to help and volunteer. 34．How old was Dusansky when she decided to start The Balloon Project? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 35．Who does The Balloon Project help? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 36．What was one of the biggest challenges in running The Balloon Project? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 37．What did Dusansky learn from the father? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 38．What do you think of Dusansky? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 北京市第八十中学2022-2023学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 四、任务型阅读 IG, a Chinese esports club, won the world championship title in LOL (League of Legends) in 2018. It beat European team 3:0 in South Korea. It was the first time that a club from China’s LPL (League of Legends Pro League) won the title in the world championship’s eight-year history. So what is esports? Esports (Electronic Sports) is a form of competition using video games between professional players. It is not only a simple game in a sense, but a sport in which players use electronic equipment to play against each other in intelligence. It can improve the players’ thinking ability, heart-to-eye coordination (协调), willpower and develop team spirit. In 2003, esports became the 99th sport in China. However, esports is different from traditional sports and online games. Traditional sports athletes mainly train their physical ability and skills, such as muscle memory, exercising and dieting; while esports athletes’ training is mostly about the mind, such as studying strategies (策略) and new updates for the game. The industry has been developed for more than 10 years, but the public usually hold the opinion that playing online games has no benefit but taking one’s attention away from their duties. In fact, there are several differences between esports and online games： First, the basic features. Online games are entertainment games while esports is a sport. Esports is an intellectual competition between people in an organized environment created by information technology. Second, the game rules. Esports has clear game rules. Its biggest feature is strict time and round limitations. However, online games are lack of clear rules of the game. Without time limit, it’s easy for people especially teenagers to be addicted to (沉迷于) it. Third, the sports spirit. Esports competitions between athletes pay great attention to fair sports spirit. Some online games only need to recharge (充钱) to gain advantages, which is the main difference between esports and online games. In the upcoming 2022 Asian Games to be held in Hangzhou, esports will officially become a medal event. Esports is a new sporting activity. It will take a long time to grow into a mature industry like NBA (the National Basketball Association of the US). Let’s have a better understanding of esports and expect its bright future. 34．Which club won the world championship title in LOL in 2018? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 35．What is esports? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 36．When did esports become the 99th sport in China? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 37．What is esports athletes’ training about? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 38．What is the passage mainly about? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！22 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题06 任务型阅读 北京市海淀区2023-2024学年度第一学期期中九年级英语 七．阅读表达（第46-48题2分，第49题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The Zhongshan Eye Center at the Sun Yat—sen University has achieved a milestone in the field of eye surgery (手术). Doctors there completed the world's first remote(远程的) micron (纳米的）operation on animals by using an independently developed 5G robot. The operation, which took place on June 23 at the center in Guangzhou, was done by a medical team operating the robot from the Zhongshan Eye Center in Haikou. The main part of the robot is a special arm that makes accurate(精准的) remote control possible. When it comes to treating eye problems, the common way is to put medicine directly into the eye area which needs treatment. But doctors' hands shake naturally, making it difficult to be very accurate. The robot can copy tasks usually done by hand, and it performs them steadily (稳定地)b) and accurately. Another advantage is that even young doctors can perform eye surgery with 5G robot's help. According to Professor Lin, the leader of the medical team, becoming a skilled eye doctor takes at least 10 years of practice. However, with the help of the robot, young doctors can achieve a high level of accuracy comparable to experienced doctors. The third important point is that using 5G makes it possible for doctors to treat patients far away. Eye doctors can get clear and timely pictures, which makes remote operations dependable. Still, it's important to remember that while this technology is promising, more research and tests are needed to make sure it's safe and works well for patients. "If everything goes well, 5G remote micron eye surgery will be available to humans within half a year," Lin said. The team will keep working hard to help develop remote medicine in China and increase national medical levels. 46．How did doctors in the Zhongshan Eye Center complete the operation? 47．What is the main part of the robot? 48．When will 5G remote micron eye surgery be probably available to humans? 49．When 5G remote micron eye surgery is available, would you like to advise your friends who need eye surgery to try it? Why or why not? (Give at least two reasons.) 【答案】 46．By using an independently developed 5G robot./ The operation was done by a medical team operating the robot from the Zhongshan Eye Center in Haikou. 47．It is a special arm (that makes accurate remote control possible). 48．Within half a year. 49．本题属于开放性试题，言之有理即可。 Possible version 1: Yes, I’d like to. It is more accurate than the common way and since even the young doctors can perform eye surgery with 5G robot’s help, it is more convenient for us to have an eye surgery without waiting for too long. Possible version 2: No. Although this technology is promising, I am not sure if it is safe enough for people. Besides, maybe it will cost more money as it is a new technology with 5G robot’s help. 【导语】 本文主要讲述了中山大学中山眼科中心在眼科手术领域取得了里程碑式的成就，那里的医生使用自主研发的5G机器人完成了世界上第一次对动物进行的远程微米手术。 【详解】 46．根据“Doctors there completed the world’s first remote(远程的) micron (纳米的）operation on animals by using an independently developed 5G robot. The operation, which took place on June 23 at the center in Guangzhou, was done by a medical team operating the robot from the Zhongshan Eye Center in Haikou.”可知，那里的医生使用自主研发的5G机器人完成了世界上第一次对动物进行的远程微米手术。手术由海口中山眼科中心的一支医疗队操作机器人。故填By using an independently developed 5G robot./ The operation was done by a medical team operating the robot from the Zhongshan Eye Center in Haikou. 47．根据“The main part of the robot is a special arm that makes accurate(精准的) remote control possible.”可知，机器人的主要部件是一个特殊的手臂，可以实现精确的远程控制。故填It is a special arm (that makes accurate remote control possible). 48．根据“‘If everything goes well, 5G remote micron eye surgery will be available to humans within half a year,’ Lin said. ”可知，如果一切顺利，5G远程微米眼科手术将在半年内提供给人类。故填Within half a year. 49．本题属于开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：Possible version 1: Yes, I’d like to. It is more accurate than the common way and since even the young doctors can perform eye surgery with 5G robot’s help, it is more convenient for us to have an eye surgery without waiting for too long. Possible version 2: No. Although this technology is promising, I am not sure if it is safe enough for people.

Ever thought of making language learning part of your family’s activities? Learning a new language together can have unexpected emotional benefits for the whole family. Combining (兼顾) family time and language learning time is a great way to have more quality time with your family. Learning a new language as a family can be a fun group activity. Everyone loves a game night or movie night. You can play games like Bingo, using vocabulary from the target language. Or maybe you have a particular vacation destination (目的地) you love where another language is widely spoken—learning that language together could make your next vacation even more enjoyable. They’re a fun way to break up the daily routine (常规) and reconnect with those you love. Language is all about communication and connection. Learning a new language brings family members closer because they talk to each other all the time when learning. All you have to do is change to your new language and practice with your family members whenever you want—no classroom needed. Telling family stories with what you have recently learned is a good place to start, which could inspire questions and additional conversations, and even create a familect—secret words and phrases shared only among the members of your family. If your family is big on gardening, make labels (标签) together for your plants and tools. Making fun labels in your target language together can also help you connect with loved family members. It opens up more opportunities like family contests. You could surprise each other with notes on pillows, bathroom mirrors, inside dresser drawers—any place your family will find them. Using these words later recalls these family memories. Each family is really its own little unique social world, and that world is being built through language. The power of language learning lies in its ability to draw people together. 34．What is a great way to have more quality time with your family? 35．Why does studying a new language bring family members closer? 36．Where does the power of language learning lie? 37．Would you like to learn a new language with your family? Why or why not? (Give at least two reasons) 【答案】 34．Combining family time and language learning time. 35．Because they talk to each other all the time when learning. 36．It lies in its ability to draw people together. 37．Yes. Because it is a great way to have more quality time with my family and it can bring my family members closer. 【导语】 本文主要介绍学习一门新语言对整个家庭都有好处的原因。 【详解】 34．根据第二段中的“Combining (兼顾) family time and language learning time is a great way to have more quality time with your family.”可知，将家庭时间和语言学习时间结合起来是与家人共度美好时光的好方法。故填Combining family time and language learning time. 35．根据第三段中的“Learning a new language brings family members closer because they talk to each other all the time when learning.”可知，学习一门新语言会让家人更亲密的原因是他们在学习的时候总是互相交谈。故填Because they talk to each other all the time when learning. 36．根据最后一段中的“The power of language learning lies in its ability to draw people together.”可知，语言学习的力量在于它能把人们团结在一起。故填It lies in its ability to draw people together. 37．开放性试题，言之有理即可，故填Yes.

She was in the car with her family on the way home, when a big wildfire came in sight and forced them to turn back. “I saw it in person,” she says. “The air pollution was so bad that we were told not to step outside of our car, or outside of our house. ” At the same time, Prisha remembered seeing other wildfires on the news. She thought, “This isn’t just a small problem, it’s a worldwide problem.” And she decided to look for a way to help. The opportunity came when she attended her middle-school science fair.

These aren’t real lions. They’re dancers in colorful clothes, celebrating a centuries-old tradition in China. People perform lion dances because they hope to bring good luck in the coming year. In many Asian countries, the new year is celebrated with the new moon that take places in late January or early February. Usually, a lion is made up of two dancers. One dancer controls the head, the other controls the tail. There are many different kinds of lion dances. The most wonderful moment might be jumping on high poles. “I think of it as a sport,” says Anthony Huang, 15, a dancer at New York City’s Chinese Freemasons Athletic Club. Anthony has performed as the lion’s tail, but this is his first year controlling the head, which can weigh 20 pounds. The challenges are co-working with the other members in the group and following the music with the heavy head. It’s important for Anthony to pass on this historical dance form. “I feel like this tradition really represents me,” he says. Lion dances were once performed mostly by males. These days, the activity has become more inclusive (包容广阔的). LionDanceMe is a group in San Francisco, California. On its dance teams, boys and girls work together. Sixteen-year-old Ananda Tang-Lee is a member. She used to see boys performing the lion dancing when she was little. She says, “But anyone can take it up. You have to believe in yourself, and have confidence that you can do it.” During the COVID-19 pandemic (新冠肺炎疫情), LionDanceMe didn’t give up performing. Instead, the group showed its performances online. This has got the dance group even more excited to perform in person again, when it’s safe. “It’s a different performance in real life,” says Isabella Yu, 16, who plays drums, “We bring a lot more than just the performance. We bring energy and excitement, too.” Lion dancing will likely continue to develop gradually. But one thing that will never change is the sense of community among team members. “It’s really great, because we always have each other’s backs.” Ananda says, “We call it a family.” 34．Why do people perform lion dances? 35．What challenges does Anthony have to face when he controls the head? 36．How did LionDanceMe perform during the COVID-19 pandemic? 37．Would you like to try the lion dancing? Why or why not? (List at least 2 points) 【答案】 34．Because they hope to bring good luck in the coming year. 35．The challenges are co-working with the other members in the group and following the music with the heavy head. 36．By showing its performances online. 37．Yes, I would like to. Because I think it is very exciting and I can learn how to work with the other members in the group. 【导语】 本文讲述了舞狮这一传统中国文化的庆祝方式和它的演变，以及舞狮表演者对其传承和发展的看法。 【详解】 34．根据第一段中的“People perform lion dances because they hope to bring good luck in the coming year.”可知，人们表演舞狮是因为他们希望来年能带来好运。故填Because they hope to bring good luck in the coming year. 35．根据第二段中的“The challenges are co-working with the other members in the group and following the music with the heavy head.”可知，当安东尼控制住狮子头时，他将面临的挑战是与团队中的其他成员合作，并用沉重的头脑跟随音乐。故填The challenges are co-working with the other members in the group and following the music with the heavy head. 36．根据第六段中的“During the COVID-19 pandemic (新冠肺炎疫情), LionDanceMe didn’t give up performing.

These days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph? Why read a novel when we can see a film? Why read I a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on radio and TV? Photography is certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书), for example, is always better when it has good pictures. But we also need words to explain the photographs. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact (精确的) size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on. In the same way, a good film has action, movement, colour, and maybe music. These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film (故事片). Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently. Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world. Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get the reading habit. Read at least a little every day. 34．Why some people say reading is not as important as it was? 35．What can photographs give people? 36．What are the advantages of a novel over a feature film? 37．Why is reading important? What do/will you do to practice reading? 【答案】 34．Because these days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. 35．Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. 36．Reading a novel requires imagination. 37．Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We/I will read every day to practice reading. 【导语】 本文介绍了阅读的重要性和必要性，鼓励人们养成阅读的习惯。 【详解】 34．根据“Some people say that today reading is not as important as it was.”和“These days we have photographs, films, radio, and television.”可知，一些人认为今天的阅读不像以前那么重要了，是因为现在我们有照片、电影、广播和电视等各种获取信息的媒介。故填Because these days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. 35．根据“Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen.”可知，照片可以让我们非常清楚地了解我们从未见过的地方和人。故填Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. 36．根据“But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film (故事片). Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently.”可知，读小说比看一部优秀的电影有一定的优势，读小说需要想象力。故填Reading a novel requires imagination. 37．根据“Reading is very important for information and pleasure.”可知，阅读对于获取信息和娱乐是非常重要的；再根据“Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become.”可知，我们应该每天阅读来练习阅读技能，读得越多，我们才能成为更好的读者。故填Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We/I will read every day to practice reading. 北京市陈经纶中学2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 四、任务型阅读 How to Spend Your Weekend Alone Without Losing It There can be many, many stories behind weekends spent alone.    In the 4 years that I’ve been living on my own now, I’ve achieved the feat(壮举) of spending 208 weekends alone.

Alyssa Carson is a teenager and she already has a big dream for her future. If her dream comes true, she’ll fly into space. But she doesn’t want to orbit（环绕……运行）the earth on the space station or go to the moon. Alyssa wants to travel to Mars, the red planet. So, is this just a dream? No. Alyssa made the decision when she was three years old because the idea was exciting and “no one’s been there!” After that she read lots of books on Mars and attended her first space camp when she was seven. Since then, she’s learned a lot about travelling to other planets. It’s an expensive trip which requires many years of training. This is a problem for Alyssa’s family, but her parents try to support her because she has been trying her best to make her dream come true. Alyssa believes we are the Mars generation and that the mission（飞行任务） to Mars will help us get to know the planet better. More than 100, 000 people have already applied（申请）for a journey to Mars. If they pass the tests, like Alyssa, they will start a training program. She has a certificate（证书）in scuba diving and is already working on her pilot’s license. Both these things, as well as a certificate in skydiving are important for an astronaut’s training. And it’s necessary to speak several languages if you want to be an astronaut. Alyssa speaks Spanish, French, Chinese and some Turkish, so this should be enough! Only a few people can go on the first Mars mission. The flight to Mars won’t be easy. They will spend hundreds of days together in a very tight space! So, if you were an astronaut on Mars, what would life be like? You would live in an extremely small space called a “pod” and you would wear a space suit all the time. If you made a phone call home, it would take half an hour for the sound to reach the earth! Also, if you got ill, there wouldn’t be any hospitals. Life wouldn’t be as easy, that’s for sure! But it would be really exciting. 34. Where does Alyssa want to travel? ___________________ 35.

From the wheel to the Internet, these inventions have changed the way we live, work and communicate. Let’s look back on some of the most important inventions in human history and their influence on society. One of the earliest and most influential inventions was the wheel. The wheel has been used for transportation, farming, and manufacturing (制造业) for thousands of years. It completely changed the way goods were transported and traded, making it easier and faster to move from one place to another. Another important invention was the printing press, which was invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century. The printing press made it possible to mass-produce books, leading to an explosion (爆炸) in the spread of knowledge. The steam engine (蒸汽机) is another important invention that transformed the world. It was invented by James Watt in the 18th century and enabled machines to be powered by steam, rather than water or animals. This led to the development of new industries such as iron production and transportation. The telephone is perhaps one of the most recognizable inventions of all time. Alexander Graham Bell’s invention in 1876 revolutionized communication, allowing people to talk to each other over long distances. It has become an important tool for businesses, governments, and individuals alike. Finally, the Internet is perhaps the most transformative invention of our time. Created by Tim Berners-Lee in the 1980s, it has changed the way we get information, connect with others, and business. It has also had a great influence on culture, entertainment, and social media. In conclusion, inventions have played a key role in shaping human history and society. And inventors have created the great inventions. If we want to keep pushing the boundaries (界限) of what is possible, it is clear that our world needs more creative and talented inventors. 34. What is one of the earliest and most influential inventions according to the passage? ________________________________ 35. Who invented the steam engine? ________________________________ 36.

Sherry was once upset and disappointed while working on a hard job. Then her boss gave her a card. The card with just two little words was what made her realize she wasn’t alone. The two words? You Matter. Sherry said she almost cried when she read the message. “I’ve fought at times with my own self-worth, and when I received the card, it felt like a question I carried around with me had been answered—I matter.” Sherry was so touched that she ordered 100 of her own cards to give away. “I met a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When I asked her how she was doing, the woman said, ‘Not so good. My husband just lost his job. The truth is, I don’t know how I’m going to get through the holidays.’ My heart ached, I wanted to help but didn’t know how. Then I remembered something in my hag that might help her.’ It sounds like you’re going through a really hard time. I’d like to give you something.” And I handed her a “You Matter” card. When she read it, she began to cry.” You have no idea how much this means to me, “she said thankfully.” “Without that card, I wouldn’t have gone up to that woman and said anything,” she says. Sherry thought the experience was so powerful that she decided to send sets of 30 “You Matter” cards free to anyone who signed up online as long as the person promised to give the cards away. She called the event the “You Matter Marathon(马拉松)” because the cards can pass on people’s kindness and care about each other. The idea was more successful than she’d expected and the cards have changed many people’s lives. Julie, a participant(参与者), says, “Having the ‘You Mater’ cards ready to hand out has allowed me to really look at people. This is making me a much more connected human.” 47.

In both cases, the person is telling us something not with words, but with facial expressions. Facial expressions are one or more movements on a person’s face, such as frowning, raising one’s eyebrows（眉毛）, and nose and lip（嘴唇）movements. They express people’s feelings. Scientists at Oxford University have shown that humans have 80 muscles（肌肉）on their faces. These muscles can create more than 7,000 facial expressions. However, there are six main kinds of facial expressions that are common in all cultures: happiness, sadness, surprise, fear, anger and disgust（厌恶）. Facial expressions are very important to communication. One study at UCLA, in the US, showed that in most conversations, over 93 percent of the communicating is done without speaking. If people can read facial expressions, they may be better at knowing what other people are feeling, so they can understand them better. Someone who does not enjoy a certain type of food usually will make a face when he/she sees or tastes it. A frown means worry or anger. Raised eyebrows and open eyes show surprise. However, there are some taboos（禁忌）for reading people’s facial expressions. For example, it is not a good idea to stare at someone for a long time while reading his or her facial expressions. They may think you are rude. 33．What are facial expressions? 34．How many facial expressions can our face muscles create? 35．Why are facial expressions important? 36．What is the passage mainly about? Besides making facial expressions, what else can you do to show your happiness? 【答案】 33．Facial expressions are one or more movements on a person’s face, which express people’s feelings. 34．More than 7,000. 35．Because over 93 percent of the communicating is done without speaking in most conversations. 36．Facial Expressions. Besides making facial expressions, gestures can also express show your happiness. 【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了面部表情在交际中的重要作用。 【详解】 33．根据“Facial expressions are one or more movements on a person’s face, such as frowning, raising one’s eyebrows（眉毛）, and nose and lip（嘴唇）movements. They express people’s feelings.”可知，面部表情是一个人脸上的一个或多个动作，例如皱眉、扬起眉毛，鼻子和嘴唇运动。它们表达人们的情感。故填Facial expressions are one or more movements on a person’s face, which express people’s feelings. 34．根据“These muscles can create more than 7,000 facial expressions.”可知，这些肌肉可以创造超过7000个面部表情。故填More than 7,000. 35．根据“One study at UCLA, in the US, showed that in most conversations, over 93 percent of the communicating is done without speaking.”可知，美国加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）的一项研究表明，在大多数对话中，超过93%的交流都是在不说话的情况下进行的。故填Because over 93 percent of the communicating is done without speaking in most conversations. 36．纵观全文，可知文章介绍了面部表情在交际中的重要作用，因此这篇文章可以“Facial Expressions”作为标题。第二问为开放性题目，言之有理即可。除了面部表情，我们也可以通过手势语来表达快乐。故填Facial Expressions. Besides making facial expressions, gestures can also express show your happiness. 北京市第八中学2022-2023学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 四、任务型阅读 Cloud Forests In the Americas, Asia, and Africa, there's a special kind of forest—the cloud forest. Cloud forests are usually found from 500 meters to 4,000 meters above sea level in the clouds on the slopes （斜坡）of mountains. They experience rainfall, but they also get water straight from the air. The water is unpolluted, and moves through the ground into streams and then rivers. Cloud forests are very important to both people who live nearby and the animals and plants living there. They provide water to nearby villages and cities. People drink the water, use it for cooking, and irrigate （灌溉） their farm fields with it. In Kenya, people even use water from cloud forests to produce electricity. Although cloud forests only make up 2.5 percent of the world's rainforests, they are also home to many animals and plants. Unfortunately, cloud forests now face many problems. Local poor people clear the cloud forests. They cut down trees to grow food and use the wood to heat their homes and cook. Building roads also badly harms the cloud forests. Once cloud forests are cleared, the cloud cover, which is important and necessary to the growth of these forests, goes away. Another bigger worry is that the temperature increases gradually. If world temperatures rise, cloud forests will have to move up to a higher place where the temperatures are cooler. But some cloud forests on mountain tops with nowhere to climb will die out. Scientists fear we might lose cloud forests, along with the water and other services they provide. Some governments have taken actions to protect cloud forests. They make laws against cutting down trees in the cloud forests. They provide the local people with other ways to get food and energy. They also educate the local people on how cloud forests provide fresh water and what will happen when they are cleared. Cloud forests are too valuable to lose. We must save them—plus the animals and plants they support—before it's too late. 34．How many meters above sea level are cloud forests usually found? ______________________________________________________________ 35．Where does the water in the cloud forests come from? ______________________________________________________________ 36．Why are cloud forests important to people in the nearby villages and cities? ______________________________________________________________ 37．What problems do cloud forests face? ______________________________________________________________ 38．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? ______________________________________________________________ 【答案】 34．From 500 meters to 4,000 meters. 35．Rainfall and the air. 36．Because they provide water to them. 37．Local people clear the cloud forests. The temperature increases gradually. 38．What some governments have done to protect cloud forests. 【导语】 文章介绍了云雾森林，包括它的位置，给人们带来的好处，以及面临的问题，以及政府采取的行动。 【详解】 34．根据“Cloud forests are usually found from 500 meters to 4,000 meters above sea level in the clouds on the slopes （斜坡）of mountains.”可知，云雾森林通常从海拔500米到4000米的山的斜坡上的云层中被发现，故填From 500 meters to 4,000 meters。 35．根据“They experience rainfall, but they also get water straight from the air.”可知，云雾森林中的水是从降雨和空气中来，故填Rainfall and the air。 36．根据“Cloud forests are very important to both people who live nearby and the animals and plants living there. They provide water to nearby villages and cities.”可知，云雾森林给附近的村庄和城市的人们提供水，故填Because they provide water to them. 37．根据“Unfortunately, cloud forests now face many problems. Local poor people clear the cloud forests.”以及“Another bigger worry is that the temperature increases gradually.”可知，云雾森林面临的问题是当地的穷人清理云雾森林以及气温逐渐升高，故填Local people clear the cloud forests. The temperature increases gradually. 38．根据“Some governments have taken actions to protect cloud forests…They also educate the local people on how cloud forests provide fresh water and what will happen when they are cleared.”可知，主要是介绍了一些政府已经采取行动保护云雾森林，故填What some governments have done to protect cloud forests. 北京市第二中学2022-2023学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 四、任务型阅读 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 When you take notes in your classes, are you confident that you’ll actually go back and look over them? Or do you just write out your notes in class and then completely forget all of the information you wrote down? A useful note-taking method can not only save you precious time and energy, but also help you better understand what you learn. This well-known note-taking method is called the Cornell Note-taking System. It was first developed in the 1940s by education professor Walter Pauk at Cornell University to help students learn. According to Cornell Notes, each page is divided into three sections: the note-taking column, the cue column （提示栏） and summary space. It’s very easy. You just need to draw two lines on your note page, leaving a 2.5-inch margin on the left and a 2-inch margin on the bottom. The note-taking column, which is the biggest space is used to write down notes while you are in class or reading an article. The key point is that you don’t write down what you hear word by word. It requires you to be very brief, using short phrases, symbols or keywords to replace long sentences. To help with future review, you can write some related questions on the left. The next step is to cover the note-taking column with a sheet of paper or your hand. Then, by only looking at the questions for key words, try to repeat the content in your own words. The summary space is designed to help you reflect on what you’ve learned. Questions may also be useful. For example, what’s the significance of these facts? What principles are they based on? What’s beyond them? You can also write down your own ideas and personal feelings. Don’t forget to review from time to time so that you will remember the information more easily. Practice makes perfect. After a few months of using this handy note-taking method, you are sure to become the note-taking star of your class. And even better, you’ll finally be able to remember what you have learned. 34．Who first developed the Cornell Note-taking System? 35．What is the biggest space used to do? 36．How can you use the cue column? 37．Why is the summary space designed? 38．Would you like to use this note-taking method? Why or why not? 【答案】 34．Walter Pauk./It was Walter Pauk. 35．It is used to write down notes./The biggest space is used to write down notes. 36．Write down some related questions on the left column, cover the note-taking column and then repeat the content in your own words. 37．The summary space is designed to help you reflect on what you’ve learned./To help you reflect on what you’ve learned. 38．Yes, I would like to use it. Because this method can save my precious time and energy, help me better understand what I’ve learned and enable me to remember what I’ve learned. 【导语】本文讲述康奈尔笔记系统的使用方法，以及这种记笔记的方法的优势。 【详解】 34．根据第二段“This well-known note-taking method is called the Cornell Note-taking System.

The gifts, the singing, the candle-blowing... Basically, they’re all the best things thrown together into one day. But birthdays aren’t always a fun for everyone. For example, homeless children might not get anything at all for their special day. That’s why 17-year-old Daryn Dusansky decided to start The Balloon Project. It celebrates monthly birthdays for children living in homeless shelters (收容所) with the help of some volunteers. Dusansky’s dream: to bring smiles to all kids’ faces on their birthdays. As teenagers, they met many challenges at the beginning. One of the biggest was to make others believe that The Balloon Project was dependable and there would be a party each month. Each party is not easy as there are many things that have to be managed. Luckily, The Balloon Project volunteers want each party to be better than the last and can be counted on to make that happen. Getting The Balloon Project off the ground required many leadership qualities (品质) which Dusansky did not know she owned. Working hard, focusing on solutions, and connecting with people are all necessary qualities that have made The Balloon Project a success. Offering services to those in need and creating a positive influence are important in being an active member of a community. Community service teaches life lessons often not taught in school. At one party, a little boy and his father came up to thank her for holding the boy’s first organized birthday party. Dusansky then thanked them for teaching her something, too. The father, who lived in a shelter with his son, looked at her, puzzled, as if he was not worthy of teaching her anything. Dusansky explained to him that he had taught her to have the courage to ask for help when needed. She will never forget his hug. Find a cause that interests you.

It beat European team 3:0 in South Korea. It was the first time that a club from China’s LPL (League of Legends Pro League) won the title in the world championship’s eight-year history. So what is esports? Esports (Electronic Sports) is a form of competition using video games between professional players. It is not only a simple game in a sense, but a sport in which players use electronic equipment to play against each other in intelligence. It can improve the players’ thinking ability, heart-to-eye coordination (协调), willpower and develop team spirit. In 2003, esports became the 99th sport in China. However, esports is different from traditional sports and online games. Traditional sports athletes mainly train their physical ability and skills, such as muscle memory, exercising and dieting; while esports athletes’ training is mostly about the mind, such as studying strategies (策略) and new updates for the game. The industry has been developed for more than 10 years, but the public usually hold the opinion that playing online games has no benefit but taking one’s attention away from their duties. In fact, there are several differences between esports and online games： First, the basic features. Online games are entertainment games while esports is a sport. Esports is an intellectual competition between people in an organized environment created by information technology. Second, the game rules. Esports has clear game rules. Its biggest feature is strict time and round limitations. However, online games are lack of clear rules of the game. Without time limit, it’s easy for people especially teenagers to be addicted to (沉迷于) it. Third, the sports spirit. Esports competitions between athletes pay great attention to fair sports spirit. Some online games only need to recharge (充钱) to gain advantages, which is the main difference between esports and online games. In the upcoming 2022 Asian Games to be held in Hangzhou, esports will officially become a medal event. Esports is a new sporting activity. It will take a long time to grow into a mature industry like NBA (the National Basketball Association of the US). Let’s have a better understanding of esports and expect its bright future. 34．Which club won the world championship title in LOL in 2018? _______________________________________________________________ 35．What is esports? _______________________________________________________________ 36．When did esports become the 99th sport in China? _______________________________________________________________ 37．What is esports athletes’ training about? _______________________________________________________________ 38．What is the passage mainly about? _______________________________________________________________ 【答案】 34．Club IG./ A Chinese esports club. 35．Esports (Electronic Sports) is a form of competition using video games between professional players. 36．In 2003. 37．It’s mostly about the mind (such as studying strategies and new updates for the game). 38．What is esports; the differences between esports and online games. 【导语】 本篇文章难度适中，主要介绍什么是电子竞技以及电子竞技与普通的在线游戏的区别 【详解】 34．细节理解题。根据IG, a Chinese esports club, won the world championship title in LOL (League of Legends) in 2018可知，IG，一个中国点睛俱乐部赢得了2018年的比赛，故填Club IG./ A Chinese esports club。 35．细节理解题。根据Esports (Electronic Sports) is a form of competition using video games between professional players可知，电子竞技指的是专业运动员使用电子游戏进行比赛的形式，故填Esports (Electronic Sports) is a form of competition using video games between professional players。 36．细节理解题。根据In 2003, esports became the 99th sport in China可知，电子竞技在2003年成为中国第99个运动，故填In 2003。 37．细节理解题。根据while esports athletes’ training is mostly about the mind, such as studying strategies (策略) and new updates for the game可知，电子竞技运动员训练的是思想，例如学习策略和游戏的新的更新，故填It’s mostly about the mind (such as studying strategies and new updates for the game)。 38．主旨大意题。本文主要介绍什么是电子竞技以及电子竞技与普通的在线游戏的区别。故填What is esports; the differences between esports and online games。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！22 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
