This public-spirited young person was now a university student. His love for insects grew deeper and he was going to protect them for the future. ________. When he was around 4 or 5, he always loved to watch different insects, especially beautiful swallowtails (凤蝶). One interesting fact he learned about swallowtails was that their bright colors warned hungry animals that they tasted bad. And it was also fun to watch how they came into being. But the reason he really fell in love with them was that they were very accessible. For example, if you wanted to attract (吸引) swallowtails, you could plant some zinnias, a kind of bright flower. Bert started a zinnia garden at his house, where he raised a large number of swallowtails over the years. With the world’s swallowtail population falling, Bert wanted people to realize that if insects like swallowtails disappeared, so would all the others above them on the food chain. To make the fact clear and easy to understand for other students, he also created a zinnia garden at his junior high school. Part of the joy for Bert was watching the younger students get excited when running after swallowtails. “Whenever a swallowtail lands on them, the young students will soon fall in love with these cute insects. They develop a new appreciation (欣赏) for them.” he said. Bert put his efforts into the environmental educational project and made it take flight. 1．After Bert won the national prize called Young Heroes, ________.

Have you ever wondered how they were first made and where they come from? The word “paper” comes from the name papyrus, a plant. The ancient Egyptians took the soft centre of this plant and added water to make a wet mixture which was then pressed together and hung up to dry. The resulting paper was strong yet flexible and was used as writing material in Greek and Roman times. However, it was the Chinese who invented what we now know as paper. The method, in use over 2,000 years ago, also involved pressing and drying we t material to form paper. Many materials were used. It was not until the 19th century that paper became easy to make and cheap to buy. The earliest pens were hollow reeds (空心芦苇) that were put into ink to produce a form of writing. By the 6th century BCE, feathers had taken the place of the reeds and continued to be used until the appearance of the metal nib (笔尖). The ballpoint pen was developed in the second half of the 20th century by the Hungarian Biro brothers. From the time of the Romans, a metal stick, made of lead (铅), was used to write on papyrus. The lead left only a light mark and was later replaced by another soft metal, called graphite (石墨). Unlike lead, graphite produced a much firmer and heavier line. The graphite sticks, however, broke very easily. So an Italian couple invented something a little like our modern pencil. 1．What does the underlined word “flexible” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．柔韧的 B．复杂的 C．舒适的 D．坚硬的 2．When did the paper become easily available? A．In the 6th century. B．In the 12th century. C．In the 19th century. D．In the 20th century. 3．Which of the following is the correct order of pens’ development? ①feathers      ②hollow reeds      ③metal nib         ④ballpoint pen A．①→②→④→③ B．②→①→③→④ C．④→②→①→③. D．②→④→①→③ 4．Why did pencil makers change the pencil sticks from lead to graphite? A．Because lead is harmful to people. B．Because lead breaks more easily. C．Because graphite makes darker lines. D．Because graphite can’t be found easily. 5．What does this passage mainly talk about? A．The benefit of the pen. B．The inventor of the pencil. C．The important inventions in China. D．The history of paper, pens and pencils. （23-24九年级上·天津北辰·期中）When I was a teenager, I was always unhappy. I often got angry with my parents when I was sad. When I grew older, I understood it was wrong to do that. I decided to try my best to calm myself down and get along well with others. Now when I laugh, I show at least eight teeth. That shows how happy I am feeling. I start to be more polite to people around me. I had another teenage problem in the past. I cared about my look very much. I spent much time in front of the mirror (镜子) every day deciding what my hair should look like, while all my dirty clothes were on my bedroom floor. As life went on, I learnt that sometimes looks aren’t so important. True beauty should be inside our hearts. I believe all teenagers have some problems, but I also believe if you deal with (处理) them in a right way, they will become important lessons, and will help you have a better future in your life. 1．As a teenager, when I felt unhappy, I usually ________.

From asking for the latest toy to wanting to wear make-up, it seemed to Alison and her husband, Alan, that their children were never satisfied with what they had. The girls would ask for a toy, but would lose interest in it as soon as their friends had something new. Birthday parties were no longer just a few party games and blowing up balloons. All the parents seemed to invite professional performers and compete over who could give the most expensive party bag. At just seven years old, Amy and her friends were paying more and more attention to their appearance. It was a feeling that many parents would have. However, few would dream of leaving a comfortable family life and a comfortable house to move their family 3,000 miles away to Africa in search of a simpler life. But, last June, Alison and her husband, Alan, moved with their daughters to Kampala in Uganda, to show them a different lifestyle. For almost a year, the girls play in the red, dusty streets with local children and visit markets to buy fresh fish and vegetables for dinner. They have been able to play and use their imagination away from the distractions (分心) of the consumer-driven society. Now, instead of competing over who has won a computer game, the girls think about things like the frequent water shortages and electricity cuts in certain areas. “At times, we’ve been without water for five days. The girls always accept it, though. Their world before had been so small, but now they understand what simple life is like.” 1．When their friends had something new, the girls would ________.

Liu Jiawei, 15    In my eyes, being masculine means having a sense of responsibility and good values.    For example, students should be responsible for their studies. They should do their best to accumulate (积累) knowledge and improve their grades. On the other hand, they are masculine regardless of their looks. Qiu Wenjun, 11    I agree that there is a shortage of masculinity among today’s youth, especially boys. While boys seem like they’re not tough enough, on the other hand, some girls in my class are very rude and like to punch (打) boys. The boys usually have to run and hide in the bathroom    However, boys should have the right to protect themselves. They can be masculine by showing their courage and protecting the weak. Xu Zineng, 12    I think teenagers today are short on masculinity. Masculine people, in my opinion, should be healthy and energetic. They are responsible and never run from their problems. They have their own code of conduct (行为准则) and never follow others blindly. They are eager to learn and hold a set of good values. They are strong in both body and mind. Zhao Zhihan, 12    China’s youth are not short on masculinity. I think being masculine means being positive, generous (慷慨的) , strong, they can be considered to be masculine.    For example, I see masculinity in Chen Xiangrong, the 19-year-old soldier who fought and died in the conflict (冲突) between China and India last year. He performed his duty and acted bravely as a soldier.    For teenagers, masculinity is about fighting spirit. For example, if you fail an exam, you should learn from your mistakes and improve on the next one. 根据短文内容选择最佳答案, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 1．According to Liu Jiawei, masculinity doesn’t lie in people’s _________.

But two years ago, an English speaking competition held in my school changed me a lot. I stood on the stage (舞台) for the first time. I was so nervous that my brain suddenly became empty. No longer after I began my speech, the hall turned noisy. It seemed that they were laughing at me. I knew I failed. From then on, I became quiet and always stayed alone. I didn’t want to express my ideas in public, even in class. Every time I wanted to say something, I thought people would laugh at me. My friends couldn’t understand me, and they left me, one by one. One day, my science teacher asked us why trees in forests were much taller than those in the wild. “Ha, what a silly question!” I thought. “There’s not enough space in the woods for trees to expand (伸展) their branches (枝条). Of course they have to grow taller than others. The trees in the wild needn’t do that since there’s enough space.” I said in a low voice. To my surprise, the teacher said, “Yes, you’re right. It is a competition.” My face turned red right away. I hadn’t spoken for a long time, especially in public. Then the teacher explained how trees in forests had to grow taller to receive more sunlight. If not, they would die. This also happened in our society.

But their noise-making does little to stop the greedy insects from feasting on their crops. Since the beginning of 2020, the East African country of Kenya has been fighting against the nation’s worst desert locust outbreak in over 70 years. The destructive (破坏性的) swarms, some as big as three times the size of New York City — about 192 billion insects — are eating their way through thousands of acres of crops and animal farms. “These things are terrible,” says Keith Cressman, an official with the UN Food and American Organization (FAO).“A swarm the size of Manhattan can, in a single day, eat the same amount of food as everyone in New York and California combined.” Experts say the locusts are easy to control with pesticides. However, due to a delay of action and a lack of resources to battle such large numbers, the locust invasion (入侵) is still out of control. If efforts are not made in time to control the bugs, they could have grown to be 20 times their current number by March. That is the start of the planting season in Kenya. Even worse, experts believe that if control efforts fail, yet another generation of locusts, which bave a lifespan of between three to five months, could appear just in time for the September harvest season. “Although giant nets, flamethrowers, lasers and huge vacuums have been suggested in the past, these are not of use for locust control,”the FAO says.“People and birds often eat locusts. But that’s not enough to largely reduce the bug’s population levels.” 1．What are the farmers most probably doing with their pots and pans (in paragraph 1)? A．They are driving the locusts away. B．They are cooking meals. C．They are making music. D．They are holding a ceremony for a good harvest. 2．What does the example Keith Cressman used (in paragraph 3) show? A．Locusts grow in number very quickly. B．Manhattan is faced with a locust outbreak as well. C．Large numbers of locusts are destructive to food resources. D．People in New York and California have been eating too much food. 3．Which of the following statements are true? ①Locusts can’t be killed by pesticides. ②Locusts can live for three to five months. ③Kenya’s planting season starts in September. ④The later people start to control the locusts, the worse the situation will be. A．①② B．①③ C．③④ D．②④ 4．According to the article, why is the locust invasion still out of control? ①Because there have been too many locusts. ②Because the locust swarms move too quickly. ③Because Africans don’t know how to kill locusts. ④Because measures were not taken in time to deal with the locusts. A．①② B．①④ C．②③ D．③④ 5．What can we know about the FAO by looking at the end of the article? A．It is encouraging more people to eat locusts. B．It thinks locusts can be a main food source for people. C．It has found an effective solution to the problem of the locust invasion. D．It has been unable to work out a method to control the locusts up till now. 2 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 7 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年一线教师制作期中精品复习系列资料，已编校！ 2024-2025学年一线教师制作期中精品复习系列资料，已编校！ 专题08 阅读理解之记叙文15篇（名校期中真题） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ （23-24九年级上·新疆阿克苏·期中）Thomas Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light.

This public-spirited young person was now a university student. His love for insects grew deeper and he was going to protect them for the future. ________. When he was around 4 or 5, he always loved to watch different insects, especially beautiful swallowtails (凤蝶). One interesting fact he learned about swallowtails was that their bright colors warned hungry animals that they tasted bad. And it was also fun to watch how they came into being. But the reason he really fell in love with them was that they were very accessible. For example, if you wanted to attract (吸引) swallowtails, you could plant some zinnias, a kind of bright flower. Bert started a zinnia garden at his house, where he raised a large number of swallowtails over the years. With the world’s swallowtail population falling, Bert wanted people to realize that if insects like swallowtails disappeared, so would all the others above them on the food chain. To make the fact clear and easy to understand for other students, he also created a zinnia garden at his junior high school. Part of the joy for Bert was watching the younger students get excited when running after swallowtails. “Whenever a swallowtail lands on them, the young students will soon fall in love with these cute insects. They develop a new appreciation (欣赏) for them.” he said. Bert put his efforts into the environmental educational project and made it take flight. 1．After Bert won the national prize called Young Heroes, ________.

For example, if you wanted to attract (吸引) swallowtails, you could plant some zinnias, a kind of bright flower.”可知，如果你想吸引凤蝶，你就种一些百日菊，也就是凤蝶很容易接近，所以划线单词与easy to get close to同义。故选B。 4．最佳标题题。根据最后一段内容“Bert put his efforts into the environmental educational project and made it take flight.”及全文介绍可知，本文主要讲述了Bert热爱昆虫并保护它们的故事，所以B选项“A Flying Project”符合做本文标题。故选B。 （23-24九年级上·江西宜春·期中）As you read this passage, you probably have some paper, a pen and at least one pencil in front of you. Have you ever wondered how they were first made and where they come from? The word “paper” comes from the name papyrus, a plant. The ancient Egyptians took the soft centre of this plant and added water to make a wet mixture which was then pressed together and hung up to dry. The resulting paper was strong yet flexible and was used as writing material in Greek and Roman times. However, it was the Chinese who invented what we now know as paper. The method, in use over 2,000 years ago, also involved pressing and drying we t material to form paper. Many materials were used. It was not until the 19th century that paper became easy to make and cheap to buy. The earliest pens were hollow reeds (空心芦苇) that were put into ink to produce a form of writing. By the 6th century BCE, feathers had taken the place of the reeds and continued to be used until the appearance of the metal nib (笔尖). The ballpoint pen was developed in the second half of the 20th century by the Hungarian Biro brothers. From the time of the Romans, a metal stick, made of lead (铅), was used to write on papyrus. The lead left only a light mark and was later replaced by another soft metal, called graphite (石墨). Unlike lead, graphite produced a much firmer and heavier line. The graphite sticks, however, broke very easily. So an Italian couple invented something a little like our modern pencil. 1．What does the underlined word “flexible” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．柔韧的 B．复杂的 C．舒适的 D．坚硬的 2．When did the paper become easily available? A．In the 6th century. B．In the 12th century. C．In the 19th century. D．In the 20th century. 3．Which of the following is the correct order of pens’ development? ①feathers      ②hollow reeds      ③metal nib         ④ballpoint pen A．①→②→④→③ B．②→①→③→④ C．④→②→①→③. D．②→④→①→③ 4．Why did pencil makers change the pencil sticks from lead to graphite? A．Because lead is harmful to people. B．Because lead breaks more easily. C．Because graphite makes darker lines. D．Because graphite can’t be found easily. 5．What does this passage mainly talk about? A．The benefit of the pen. B．The inventor of the pencil. C．The important inventions in China. D．The history of paper, pens and pencils. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了纸、钢笔和铅笔的历史。 1．词句猜测题。根据“The resulting paper was strong yet flexible and was used as writing material in Greek and Roman times.”可知，被用作书写材料，说明纸张柔软，因此“flexible”意为“柔韧的”，故选A。 2． 细节理解题。根据“It was not until the 19th century that paper became easy to make and cheap to buy.”可知，直到19世纪，纸张才变得易于制造且价格低廉。故选C。 3．细节理解题。通读第三段内容可知，最早的钢笔是由空心芦苇做成的，到了公元前6世纪羽毛代替了芦苇，然后笔尖代替了羽毛，到后来出现了圆珠笔，即Hollow reeds→feathers→metal nib→ballpoint pen。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“Unlike lead, graphite produced a much harder and heavier line.”可知，不像铅，石墨产生的线条更重，所以线条会更黑。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文，主要介绍了纸、钢笔和铅笔的发展历史。故选D。 （23-24九年级上·天津北辰·期中）When I was a teenager, I was always unhappy.

From asking for the latest toy to wanting to wear make-up, it seemed to Alison and her husband, Alan, that their children were never satisfied with what they had. The girls would ask for a toy, but would lose interest in it as soon as their friends had something new. Birthday parties were no longer just a few party games and blowing up balloons. All the parents seemed to invite professional performers and compete over who could give the most expensive party bag. At just seven years old, Amy and her friends were paying more and more attention to their appearance. It was a feeling that many parents would have. However, few would dream of leaving a comfortable family life and a comfortable house to move their family 3,000 miles away to Africa in search of a simpler life. But, last June, Alison and her husband, Alan, moved with their daughters to Kampala in Uganda, to show them a different lifestyle. For almost a year, the girls play in the red, dusty streets with local children and visit markets to buy fresh fish and vegetables for dinner. They have been able to play and use their imagination away from the distractions (分心) of the consumer-driven society. Now, instead of competing over who has won a computer game, the girls think about things like the frequent water shortages and electricity cuts in certain areas. “At times, we’ve been without water for five days. The girls always accept it, though. Their world before had been so small, but now they understand what simple life is like.” 1．When their friends had something new, the girls would ________.

Here are some students’ ideas. Liu Jiawei, 15    In my eyes, being masculine means having a sense of responsibility and good values.    For example, students should be responsible for their studies. They should do their best to accumulate (积累) knowledge and improve their grades. On the other hand, they are masculine regardless of their looks. Qiu Wenjun, 11    I agree that there is a shortage of masculinity among today’s youth, especially boys. While boys seem like they’re not tough enough, on the other hand, some girls in my class are very rude and like to punch (打) boys. The boys usually have to run and hide in the bathroom    However, boys should have the right to protect themselves. They can be masculine by showing their courage and protecting the weak. Xu Zineng, 12    I think teenagers today are short on masculinity. Masculine people, in my opinion, should be healthy and energetic. They are responsible and never run from their problems. They have their own code of conduct (行为准则) and never follow others blindly. They are eager to learn and hold a set of good values. They are strong in both body and mind. Zhao Zhihan, 12    China’s youth are not short on masculinity. I think being masculine means being positive, generous (慷慨的) , strong, they can be considered to be masculine.    For example, I see masculinity in Chen Xiangrong, the 19-year-old soldier who fought and died in the conflict (冲突) between China and India last year. He performed his duty and acted bravely as a soldier.    For teenagers, masculinity is about fighting spirit. For example, if you fail an exam, you should learn from your mistakes and improve on the next one. 根据短文内容选择最佳答案, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 1．According to Liu Jiawei, masculinity doesn’t lie in people’s _________.

It also reminds us of Huang Lingyi, a great woman regarded as the mother of Chinese chip. In 1936, Huang Lingyi was born in Nanning, Guangxi. Then came the War Against Japan. That was when she made up her mind to fight for China. In 1954, Huang entered Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Later on, she studied at Tsinghua University with excellent performances. After graduation, she started studying semiconductors（半导体） and built China’s first laboratory on it. In 1973, Huang started developing chips. After ten years of hard work, they made great progress, moving China a big step closer to the world’s highest level. Her great work not only won her praise （赞扬） around the world, but also protected China’s information safety. Many foreign companies offered Huang high salaries （工资） to work for them, but she turned down the invitation and continued working on chip study. Following Huang, researchers（研究员） developed chips. And this helped to break the control of American chips and put an end to a period of shameful history in China. Since 2018, her research has saved the country 2 trillion yuan every year. She passed away in April, 2023. She once said, “My greatest wish in this life is to crawl（爬） on the ground and end the shame on my country.” 1．What did Huang decide to do when she saw the War against Japan? A．To leave for China. B．To save money. C．To work on the chip. D．To fight for China. 2．How old was Huang Lingyi when she began developing chips? A．18 B．37 C．54 D．73 3．What does the underlined phrase “turn down” mean in Chinese in Paragraph 5? A．关闭 B．减少 C．拒绝 D．调低 4．What contributions has Huang Lingyi made in the field of chips? ①Her work protected China’s information safety. ②She won praise around China. ③She helped to break the control of American chips. ④Her work saved China 2 trillion yuan every year since 2018. A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②④ 5．Huang Lingyi’s story is introduced in the order of ________. A．space B．importance C．logic（逻辑） D．time 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了被誉为“中国芯片之母”的黄令仪的生平事迹和她在芯片领域的杰出贡献。文章按照时间顺序，从黄令仪的出生、求学、研究芯片到她的去世，详细讲述了她的一生以及她对中国芯片事业的重大影响。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“In 1936, Huang Lingyi was born in Nanning, Guangxi. Then came the War Against Japan. That was when she made up her mind to fight for China.”可知，当黄令仪看到抗日战争时，她决定为中国而战。因此，答案为“To fight for China.”，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段和第三段的内容，黄令仪于1936年出生，1973年开始研发芯片。因此，她开始研发芯片时的年龄是1973年减去1936年，即37岁。故选B。 3．词义猜测题。根据第五段的内容，“Many foreign companies offered Huang high salaries to work for them, but she turned down the invitation and continued working on chip study.”可知，许多外国公司给黄令仪提供高薪邀请她为他们工作，但她拒绝了邀请并继续研究芯片。因此，“turn down”在这里的意思是“拒绝”。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据文章的内容，黄令仪在芯片领域的贡献包括：她的工作保护了中国的信息安全（①）；她帮助打破了美国芯片的控制（③）；自2018年以来，她的研究每年为国家节省了2万亿元（④）。而选项②“她赢得了全中国的赞扬”与原文“Her great work not only won her praise around the world”不符，原文说的是她赢得了全世界的赞扬，而不是仅限于中国。因此，答案为“①③④”。故选C。 5．推理判断题。文章按照时间顺序介绍了黄令仪的生平事迹和她在芯片领域的贡献，从她的出生、求学、研究芯片到她的去世，都是按照时间顺序来叙述的。因此，答案为“time”。 故选D。 （23-24九年级上·广东河源·期中）Who invented (发明) the umbrella? There are many different opinions. Some people say that the people of ancient Egypt (古埃及) invented it (罗马人) invented it and some say Luban’s wife invented it in ancient China. There’s even an interesting story about its invention in China. Luban was the most famous craftsman (工匠) in ancient China.

I stood on the stage (舞台) for the first time. I was so nervous that my brain suddenly became empty. No longer after I began my speech, the hall turned noisy. It seemed that they were laughing at me. I knew I failed. From then on, I became quiet and always stayed alone. I didn’t want to express my ideas in public, even in class. Every time I wanted to say something, I thought people would laugh at me. My friends couldn’t understand me, and they left me, one by one. One day, my science teacher asked us why trees in forests were much taller than those in the wild. “Ha, what a silly question!” I thought. “There’s not enough space in the woods for trees to expand (伸展) their branches (枝条). Of course they have to grow taller than others. The trees in the wild needn’t do that since there’s enough space.” I said in a low voice. To my surprise, the teacher said, “Yes, you’re right. It is a competition.” My face turned red right away. I hadn’t spoken for a long time, especially in public. Then the teacher explained how trees in forests had to grow taller to receive more sunlight. If not, they would die. This also happened in our society. What’s more, the tree that doesn’t live in a crowd is just like a person who has no friends in life. I raised my head slowly and found the teacher was looking at me. His eyes were as warm as sunshine. I realized that I must stand up and face the truth. 1．What happened to the writer after the speaking competition? A．He was often laughed at. B．His friends tried to cheer him up. C．He worked harder to improve himself. D．He seldom expressed his ideas in public. 2．Why are trees in forests much taller than those in the wild? A．They are taken good care of. B．There is more water and sunshine in forests. C．They have to grow taller to receive more sunlight. D．They have enough space to expand their branches. 3．Which of the following describes the whole change of the writer? A．Active-quiet-active. B．Active-quiet. C．Quiet-active. D．Quiet-active-quiet. 4．What does the writer learn from the science class? A．A good friend is like a mirror. B．One should grow stronger to fit into society. C．We shouldn’t laugh at others when they fail. D．Everything may happen in our society. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文讲述了作者演讲比赛失利后失去了信心，在一次课堂上，科学老师向她提了一个意味深长的问题，作者意识到自己必须重新振作起来面对事实。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“From then on, I became quiet and always stayed alone.

But their noise-making does little to stop the greedy insects from feasting on their crops. Since the beginning of 2020, the East African country of Kenya has been fighting against the nation’s worst desert locust outbreak in over 70 years. The destructive (破坏性的) swarms, some as big as three times the size of New York City — about 192 billion insects — are eating their way through thousands of acres of crops and animal farms. “These things are terrible,” says Keith Cressman, an official with the UN Food and American Organization (FAO).“A swarm the size of Manhattan can, in a single day, eat the same amount of food as everyone in New York and California combined.” Experts say the locusts are easy to control with pesticides. However, due to a delay of action and a lack of resources to battle such large numbers, the locust invasion (入侵) is still out of control. If efforts are not made in time to control the bugs, they could have grown to be 20 times their current number by March. That is the start of the planting season in Kenya. Even worse, experts believe that if control efforts fail, yet another generation of locusts, which bave a lifespan of between three to five months, could appear just in time for the September harvest season. “Although giant nets, flamethrowers, lasers and huge vacuums have been suggested in the past, these are not of use for locust control,”the FAO says.“People and birds often eat locusts. But that’s not enough to largely reduce the bug’s population levels.” 1．What are the farmers most probably doing with their pots and pans (in paragraph 1)? A．They are driving the locusts away. B．They are cooking meals. C．They are making music. D．They are holding a ceremony for a good harvest. 2．What does the example Keith Cressman used (in paragraph 3) show? A．Locusts grow in number very quickly. B．Manhattan is faced with a locust outbreak as well. C．Large numbers of locusts are destructive to food resources. D．People in New York and California have been eating too much food. 3．Which of the following statements are true? ①Locusts can’t be killed by pesticides. ②Locusts can live for three to five months. ③Kenya’s planting season starts in September. ④The later people start to control the locusts, the worse the situation will be. A．①② B．①③ C．③④ D．②④ 4．According to the article, why is the locust invasion still out of control? ①Because there have been too many locusts. ②Because the locust swarms move too quickly. ③Because Africans don’t know how to kill locusts. ④Because measures were not taken in time to deal with the locusts. A．①② B．①④ C．②③ D．③④ 5．What can we know about the FAO by looking at the end of the article? A．It is encouraging more people to eat locusts. B．It thinks locusts can be a main food source for people. C．It has found an effective solution to the problem of the locust invasion. D．It has been unable to work out a method to control the locusts up till now. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了东非面临的严重的蝗虫灾害，而且至今还没有找到解决问题的好办法。 1．推理判断题。根据“But their noise-making does little to stop the greedy insects from feasting on their crops.”可知他们制造的噪音对阻止贪婪的蝗虫掠夺庄稼没有一点作用，所以推断他们用锅碗瓢盆制造噪音企图驱赶蝗虫离开，故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据“A swarm the size of Manhattan can, in a single day, eat the same amount of food as everyone in New York and California combined”可知Keith Cressman说一天之内，曼哈顿大小的蝗虫群能吃掉纽约和加利福尼亚所有人的食物总和，所以推断他想通过事例展示大量的蝗虫对食物资源有巨大的破坏性，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“another generation of locusts, which bave a lifespan of between three to five months,”可知蝗虫的寿命为3-5个月；根据“However, due to a delay of action and a lack of resources to battle such large numbers, the locust invasion is still out of control”和“If efforts are not made in time to control the bugs, they could have grown to be 20 times their current number by March”可知控制蝗虫的行动不能拖延，要及时，否则会失控，甚至危害更大，故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“The destructive swarms, some as big as three times the size of New York City — about 192 billion insects — are eating their way through thousands of acres of crops and animal farms.”和“However, due to a delay of action and a lack of resources to battle such large numbers, the locust invasion is still out of control”可知蝗灾没有得到控制是因为蝗虫的数量巨大而且没有采取及时的措施，故选B。 5．推理判断题。根据“‘Although giant nets, flamethrowers, lasers and huge vacuums have been suggested in the past, these are not of use for locust control,’the FAO says.‘People and birds often eat locusts. But that’s not enough to largely reduce the bug’s population levels.’”可知粮农组织说巨型网，火焰喷射器，激光和大型真空吸尘器都没有用，人们和鸟吃蝗虫也不足以减少蝗虫的数量，所以推断粮农组织至今对控制蝗虫没有办法，故选D。 2 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 7 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
