However, my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything.

From her end of the conversation,I could know right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, crying.

C When a new mobile phone starts to be sold in stores, many people become excited and can't wait to buy one. They rush out to the stores and pick one. We can understand that people all want the newest, latest thing. But what should we do with our old mobile phones? Have you ever thought about it? Will you just put it in your drawer and never pay attention to it? Mike Townsend works at Total Recall, a mobile phone recycling company. “Don't throw your old phone away. Send it to us and we’ ll recycle it,” he says. “If you throw it away, it goes with other rubbish to become terrible landfill. In other words, it is put in a big hole in the ground—— and it becomes a big problem.” There are some toxic (有毒的) materials, like lead, mercury and cadmium in the mobile phones. If your phone goes to a landfill, these toxic materials can get out and get into the water under the ground. That's the water we want to drink or the water that goes into rivers or the ocean. As millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year, it is not a small thing at all. “At Total Recall, we take the old phones apart. Most of the materials in a mobile phone can be recycled and used again,” explains Mike. “We sell the parts and they are used to make new products. For example, there are nickel(镍) and cadmium in phone batteries. The nickel is used to make steel, and the cadmium can be used to make new batteries. The plastic parts of the phones are made into plastic fence posts.” Mike says recycling your old phone is easy. “You can usually take it into a mobile phone shop and they’ ll send it to us.” So, before you throw your old mobile phone away, use it one last time: search for a mobile phone recycling company near you and give them a call. 九年级英语第6页 (共10页) 27.

D Sometimes, when we' re not quite awake but not fully asleep either, our brains might be really good at coming up with new ideas. A new study finds that people who have a light sleep are better at solving problems later. Researchers read stories about some scientists solving difficult problems after a light and short sleep. It is said that the famous inventor Thomas Edison used to look for the twilight(朦胧模糊的) moments between wakefulness and sleep. He used to sit in a chair and hold two balls. As he started to fall asleep, the balls fell down and made a noise that woke him up. This way, he could write down his ideas before he fell into a deep sleep and forgot them. To see if Edison's idea could work for other people, researchers asked 103 healthy people to come to their lab. They had to try to solve a difficult math problem 60 times. After that, they got a 20-minute break in a quiet, dark room. They sat in chairs and held a light bottle in one hand, just like the balls in Edison's hands. The researchers told them to close their eyes and rest or even sleep if they wanted to. After the break, they went back to the math problem. While they were resting, the researchers checked their brain waves. They found that more than half of the people didn't fall asleep. But 24 people did fall asleep and had a light sleep 九年级英语第7页 (共10页) called N1. Another 14 people went into a deeper sleep called N2. The researchers saw a great difference between the groups. The people who had light sleep, the N1 stage, were 2.7 times more likely to solve it than people who stayed awake. And they were 5.8 times more likely to solve it than those who went into the deeper N2 sleep. However, more work is needed to find out the relation between N1 and creativity. The results are interesting because they suggest that maybe we can learn how to get into this light sleep stage on purpose. It seems that Edison knew something about how being a bit sleepy can help us be more creative. But don't think that you should copy his habits completely. He also thought that sleeping was a waste of time. 30. Why does the writer mention Thomas Edison in Paragraph 2? A. To tell the importance of sleep. B. To explain why Edison slept well. C. To introduce Edison's sleeping habit. D. To show how researchers get their idea. 31. Paragraph 3 is mainly about . A. why the study was designed B. how the study was carried out C. what result the study showed D. what the future study may focus on 32. What can we learn from the passage? A. Holding a ball while sleeping helps people come up with new ideas. B. People can learn some skills after reaching the twilight stage of sleep. C. Light sleep may make people creative and be a better problem solver. D. Staying awake for a long time will make people forget things easily. 33. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? A. To encourage people to sleep less in the daytime. B. To discuss the importance of deep sleep. C. To compare different kinds of sleep. D. To prove the value of light sleep. 九年级英语第8 页 (共10 页) 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达(第34-36题每题2分, 第37题4分, 共10分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 When ChatGPT came out, Olivia Lipkin, a copywriter(文案写手) in San Francisco, didn't think too much about it.
