But a couple of weeks ago, they came together to give me a gift that really blew me away. For years now, I’ve been wanting to sell our house where my children grew up. But there are the funny little love hearts they drew just near their beds. The attic (阁楼) is full of the old clothes they couldn’t wear. The high shelves still have lots of novels for children, like The Night Before Christmas and The Muddle-Headed Wombat. But those are not the reasons for being sad about leaving this house. There is much more to tie me to the home where I brought up our kids. In the front room, there is a wall. On that wall are hundreds of pencil marks, names and dates. They recorded the way the children grew. Of all the objects, all the memories, it’s this one place in our home that makes it hard for me to leave. Over dinner, over the years, I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall, even though the last marks were made ten years ago when my kids stopped growing. So one day, while I was at work, my children decided to do something about the wall. Here was a chance to remove the last traces (痕迹) of their babyhood, but they didn’t do that. Instead, they hired Jack, a professional photographer, to come to our house to take photos of the pencil marks, names and dates and then changed them into one photo. At last the gift made its way to me, one meaningful photo. Representing love and growth, it’s a gift that I will cherish forever. 1．When did the mother get the surprising gift? 2．What is the attic filled with? 3．Why are the marks on the wall so important to the mother? 4．How did Jack make the traces on the wall into a gift? 5．Do you like this kind of gift? Why or why not? 【答案】1．A couple of weeks ago. 2．The attic is full of the old clothes (the children couldn’t wear). 3．Because they recorded the way the children grew. 4．By taking photos of the pencil marks, names and dates and changing them into one photo./By taking photos of the trace and changing them into one photo./He took photos of the pencil marks, names and dates and changed them into one photo./He took photos of the traces and changed them into one photo. 5．Yes. Because it represents love and growth. 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者一直想卖掉住的房子，但是房子里有一面特殊的墙，墙上留下了作者与孩子相处的点点滴滴。最后，作者的孩子们请来摄影师，将墙上的各种涂画，名字，日期等拍摄成照片做成一幅家庭历史照片送给了作者，作者因此感到非常开心和欣慰。 1．根据“But a couple of weeks ago, they came together to give me a gift that really blew me away.”可知，几周前作者收到了这份礼物，故填A couple of weeks ago. 2．根据“The attic (阁楼) is full of the old clothes they couldn’t wear.”可知，阁楼装满了孩子们不能穿的旧衣服，故填The attic is full of the old clothes (the children couldn’t wear). 3．根据“On that wall are hundreds of pencil marks, names and dates.

The only thing visible was a hand. The Ghost neither spoke nor moved. Scrooge was terrified. “Are you the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come?” asked Scrooge. The Ghost didn’t answer, but it pointed its hand in front of it. “You are going to show me the future,” Scrooge continued. “Am I right, Ghost?” The Ghost nodded its head. That was the only answer Scrooge received. “Ghost of the Future,” he said, “I am more afraid of you than of all the other ghosts. But because I want to be a better man, I will go with you. Please, speak to me.” It didn’t reply. The hand pointed straight in front of them. “Lead on!” said Scrooge. The Ghost moved forwards. Scrooge followed in the shadow of its robe. And the robe carried him along. The city sprang up around them. There they were, in the heart of it. The Ghost stopped beside some businessmen at the Stock Exchange. His hand was pointing to them, so Scrooge listened to their conversation. “I only know he’s dead,” said a great fat man. “When did he die?” asked another. “Last night, I think. ” “What was the matter with him?” asked a third. “God knows”, said the first, with a yawn. “What has he done with his money?” asked a red-faced gentleman. “I don’t know,” said the great fat man, yawning again. “He hasn’t left it to me. That’s all I know.” Everybody laughed. “It will be a very small funeral,” said the great fat man. “I don’t think anybody will go to it.” Scrooge knew the men. And he looked towards the Ghost for an explanation. He didn’t understand why this conversation was important. But he knew it must be. Scrooge looked around the place. He looked at the clock. It was strange. He was usually there at this time but he couldn’t see himself. 1．What does Scrooge ask the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come to show him? 2．Which ghost was Scrooge the most terrified of, the Ghost of the Past, the Ghost of the Present or the Ghost of the Future? 3．Why did the Ghost stopped beside some businessmen at the Stock Exchange? 4．Who do you think the dead man is? 5．Was Scrooge a good friend of theirs?

Hundreds of thousands of people have been influenced. Up to August 2, a total of 302 people have been killed and 50 have been missing. Like many other natural disasters, floods can happen with little to no warning. Flash floods move quickly and have strong currents (水流). They are known to bring down trees and destroy buildings. Besides, floods can cause power cuts, traffic jams and other problems. But, the flood itself isn’t the only problem to deal with. After a flood, its influence can be just as deadly, as it may not be possible to send basic supplies such as water and food to the area. So, in the face of a flash flood, how should we save ourselves? ★Avoid bridges that rapidly-moving water is crossing, as floodwaters can cause bridges to break. ★Listen to emergency broadcasts (应急广播) for further instructions. If told to move to another place, do so. ★Stay inside the car if it’s caught in a fast-moving water. Only get out if the water begins to flood the car itself, and then move to the roof of the car. ★If caught within a flooded building, move to the highest floor. Only move to the roof if necessary. Once there, use signs for help, such as drawing SOS on the roof. ★ Stay away from power lines , as they are often destroyed or knocked down during strong storms. Besides, here are also some tips to keep in mind after a flood. Do not drink floodwater, or use it to wash food. Return to your home only after local governments have said it is safe to do so. Use only bottled or boiled water for drinking, cooking and bathing. Avoid driving through flooded areas. 根据短文内容回答问题（每小题答案不超过10个单词）。 1．How many people were influenced in the flood in Henan Province? 2．Why should we avoid bridges that rapidly-moving water is crossing? 3．How can we ask for help if caught within a flooded building? 4．When can you return to your home after a flood? 5．What will you do if you are facing a flood? 【答案】1．Hundreds of thousands of people were influenced. 2．Because floodwaters can cause bridges to break. 3．Move to the highest floor and use signs for help. 4．After local governments have said it is safe. 5．I will keep calm and ask for help. 【导语】本文介绍了发生在中国河南的洪灾，以及给出了洪水下人们如何拯救自己的方法。 1．根据“Hundreds of thousands of people have been influenced.”可知，数十万的人受到了影响。故填Hundreds of thousands of people were influenced. 2．根据“Avoid bridges that rapidly-moving water is crossing, as floodwaters can cause bridges to break.”可知，避免在水流湍急的地方过桥，因为洪水会导致桥梁断裂。故填Because floodwaters can cause bridges to break. 3．根据“If caught within a flooded building, move to the highest floor.

Shylock was very angry about this because many people went to borrow money from Antonio instead of borrowing from him. This meant that Shylock earned less money. When Bassanio visited Shylock, he asked Shylock to lend him three thousand gold coins and said he would pay it back in three months. “How do I know you can pay it back?” asked Shylock. “My friend Antonio will help me. If I do not pay you in three months, he will do it for me,” Bassanio said. Shylock turned to smile. Perhaps this would be a chance. So Shylock went to visit Antonio at once.

He tried to be friendly. “It’s three thousand gold coins for three months, isn’t it?” Antonio and Bassanio agreed. “What interest will you pay?” Shylock asked. Before long, Antonio and Shylock were arguing about interest. Antonio called Shylock some bad names. Bassanio was worried and stopped Antonio.

This summer holiday, I got the chance to visit it and find out what makes this building so great. As our guide told us, the Sydney Opera House was built with a kind of self-cleaning material that is very rare even today. First, we visited the Drama Hall. We learned about the designer of the Sydney Opera House—Danish architect(建筑师) Jorn Utzon. He was the winner of an international design competition. However, he designed the building according to his own tastes, which caused several problems. The project was completed 10 years late. The cost of construction(建造) was over budget(预算). Utzon didn’t get to see it after it was built. Then, we visited Joan Sutherland Theatre. The theater was refurbished(翻新) in 2017 with new high-tech equipment. There was a rehearsal(排练) that day, so we could hear the beautiful sound of the orchestra(管弦乐队). Finally, we arrived at the largest theater—Concert Hall. It has hosted many kinds of performances, from classical to rock music. A few years ago, a sports event was even held there. Before we finished the tour, the guide told us the rest of Utzon’s story. In 1966, Utzon had an argument with the government and refused to give in. He had to leave the country. It was a hard time in his life. But many years later, people understood him and saw the building as a masterpiece(杰作).

In fact, I didn’t do anything.” Nonsense（废话）? Yes. These sentences look like they make sense, but they actually express no useful information. They are part of a recent Internet sentence-making craze（热潮）. “Nonsense literature” was originally invented by Internet users to make fun of the empty, and redundant（累赘的）writing style often used by media and some widely known people. Like any good Internet joke, I don’t know what to say. “Listening to your words is like listening to words.” Some even said that famous writers like Lu Xun used the style. For example, they said, Lu Xun once wrote：There are two trees in my backyard. One is jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree. Is it true? Not really. Repetition in writing is not necessarily “nonsense literature”. Lu Xun’s writing on the jujube tree comes from a piece of his prose. If you have read it, as well as understanding his time of writing, you’d find these repeated lines are powerful, showing that the writer was frustrated because of social reality. Actually, “nonsense” and “ literature” are two incompatible words. Nonsense is silly and useless. It will soon be forgotten. But literature is written work considered to have artistic value. It is a spiritual treasure worth passing down. Internet crazes like “nonsense literature” might make you laugh for a while. But they will soon disappear. Don’t throw yourself into it. Read some real literature.

But a couple of weeks ago, they came together to give me a gift that really blew me away. For years now, I’ve been wanting to sell our house where my children grew up. But there are the funny little love hearts they drew just near their beds. The attic (阁楼) is full of the old clothes they couldn’t wear. The high shelves still have lots of novels for children, like The Night Before Christmas and The Muddle-Headed Wombat. But those are not the reasons for being sad about leaving this house. There is much more to tie me to the home where I brought up our kids. In the front room, there is a wall. On that wall are hundreds of pencil marks, names and dates. They recorded the way the children grew. Of all the objects, all the memories, it’s this one place in our home that makes it hard for me to leave. Over dinner, over the years, I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall, even though the last marks were made ten years ago when my kids stopped growing. So one day, while I was at work, my children decided to do something about the wall. Here was a chance to remove the last traces (痕迹) of their babyhood, but they didn’t do that. Instead, they hired Jack, a professional photographer, to come to our house to take photos of the pencil marks, names and dates and then changed them into one photo. At last the gift made its way to me, one meaningful photo. Representing love and growth, it’s a gift that I will cherish forever. 1．When did the mother get the surprising gift? 2．What is the attic filled with? 3．Why are the marks on the wall so important to the mother? 4．How did Jack make the traces on the wall into a gift? 5．Do you like this kind of gift?

The Ghost neither spoke nor moved. Scrooge was terrified. “Are you the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come?” asked Scrooge. The Ghost didn’t answer, but it pointed its hand in front of it. “You are going to show me the future,” Scrooge continued. “Am I right, Ghost?” The Ghost nodded its head. That was the only answer Scrooge received. “Ghost of the Future,” he said, “I am more afraid of you than of all the other ghosts. But because I want to be a better man, I will go with you. Please, speak to me.” It didn’t reply. The hand pointed straight in front of them. “Lead on!” said Scrooge. The Ghost moved forwards. Scrooge followed in the shadow of its robe.

That’s all I know.” Everybody laughed. “It will be a very small funeral,” said the great fat man. “I don’t think anybody will go to it.” Scrooge knew the men.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been influenced. Up to August 2, a total of 302 people have been killed and 50 have been missing. Like many other natural disasters, floods can happen with little to no warning. Flash floods move quickly and have strong currents (水流). They are known to bring down trees and destroy buildings. Besides, floods can cause power cuts, traffic jams and other problems. But, the flood itself isn’t the only problem to deal with. After a flood, its influence can be just as deadly, as it may not be possible to send basic supplies such as water and food to the area. So, in the face of a flash flood, how should we save ourselves? ★Avoid bridges that rapidly-moving water is crossing, as floodwaters can cause bridges to break. ★Listen to emergency broadcasts (应急广播) for further instructions. If told to move to another place, do so. ★Stay inside the car if it’s caught in a fast-moving water. Only get out if the water begins to flood the car itself, and then move to the roof of the car. ★If caught within a flooded building, move to the highest floor. Only move to the roof if necessary. Once there, use signs for help, such as drawing SOS on the roof. ★ Stay away from power lines , as they are often destroyed or knocked down during strong storms. Besides, here are also some tips to keep in mind after a flood. Do not drink floodwater, or use it to wash food. Return to your home only after local governments have said it is safe to do so. Use only bottled or boiled water for drinking, cooking and bathing. Avoid driving through flooded areas. 根据短文内容回答问题（每小题答案不超过10个单词）。 1．How many people were influenced in the flood in Henan Province? 2．Why should we avoid bridges that rapidly-moving water is crossing? 3．How can we ask for help if caught within a flooded building? 4．When can you return to your home after a flood? 5．What will you do if you are facing a flood? （23-24九年级上·江苏苏州·期末）阅读下面短文，用英语回答问题。 Cycling on city roads, surfing on the land, playing frisbee (飞盘) with a group of people…Urban (城市的) sports are becoming popular and are bringing more fun to us.

Shylock was very angry about this because many people went to borrow money from Antonio instead of borrowing from him. This meant that Shylock earned less money. When Bassanio visited Shylock, he asked Shylock to lend him three thousand gold coins and said he would pay it back in three months. “How do I know you can pay it back?” asked Shylock. “My friend Antonio will help me. If I do not pay you in three months, he will do it for me,” Bassanio said. Shylock turned to smile. Perhaps this would be a chance. So Shylock went to visit Antonio at once. When seeing him, Shylock couldn’t help thinking how much he hated him. However, he did not show his hatred. He tried to be friendly. “It’s three thousand gold coins for three months, isn’t it?” Antonio and Bassanio agreed. “What interest will you pay?” Shylock asked. Before long, Antonio and Shylock were arguing about interest. Antonio called Shylock some bad names. Bassanio was worried and stopped Antonio. Antonio said sorry to Shylock. “If you lend us this money,” pleased Antonio, “I will not call you bad names.” Shylock pretended to be surprised. “Come with me to the judge,” said Shylock, “so that he can write the contract. I will lend you the money for three months. You will pay no interest. Just for fun, however, let’s agree that if you do not pay me on time, you will give me one pound of your flesh from wherever I choose to take it!” Antonio agreed. He was certain that he was able to pay back the money on time. “My ships come back a whole month before we have to pay the money.” 1．Why did many people borrow money from Antonio instead of borrowing from Shylock? 2．How much money did Bassanio want to borrow from Shylock? 3．What does the underlined word “hatred” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? 4．In how many months would Antonio’s ships come back as planned? 5．What was Shylock like in Antonio’s opinion, according to the passage? （22-23九年级上·江苏盐城·期末）At a global congress (大会) of the Communist International (共产主义) in July 1921, for the first time ever, a Chinese man made a speech about the communist movement in his country. The man was Zhang Tailei (1898—1927), an early leader of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) and one of the founders of the Communist Youth League of China (中国共青团). At only 23 years old, Zhang was the first person to present the Chinese communist movement on a global stage. He met Vladimir Lenin (列宁) and worked as a translator for many foreign delegate (代表). Zhang was long devoted to his communist ideals. His birth name was Zhang Zengrang, but he changed his given name into Tailei, which means “great thunder”. He said, “I want to become thunder to break up the ‘old world’ (愿化作震碎旧世界的惊雷).” While Zhang was getting support from the international communist movement, another pioneer was digging deep local roots. Deng Zhongxia (1894—1933) was another early leader of the Communist Youth League of China. In his early twenties, about to graduate from Peking University, he was offered a job with the government. He refused it, saying, “I don’t want to have a position as an officer, just want to serve the people in my own way.” A man of action, Deng made speeches on streets and public squares. He went to rural areas and factories, trying to boost (宣扬) patriotism (爱国情怀) among local youth. He also tried to teach about Marxism and communism (马克思和共产主义). He even learned different dialects to better communicate with locals.

This summer holiday, I got the chance to visit it and find out what makes this building so great. As our guide told us, the Sydney Opera House was built with a kind of self-cleaning material that is very rare even today. First, we visited the Drama Hall. We learned about the designer of the Sydney Opera House—Danish architect(建筑师) Jorn Utzon. He was the winner of an international design competition. However, he designed the building according to his own tastes, which caused several problems. The project was completed 10 years late. The cost of construction(建造) was over budget(预算). Utzon didn’t get to see it after it was built. Then, we visited Joan Sutherland Theatre. The theater was refurbished(翻新) in 2017 with new high-tech equipment. There was a rehearsal(排练) that day, so we could hear the beautiful sound of the orchestra(管弦乐队). Finally, we arrived at the largest theater—Concert Hall. It has hosted many kinds of performances, from classical to rock music. A few years ago, a sports event was even held there. Before we finished the tour, the guide told us the rest of Utzon’s story. In 1966, Utzon had an argument with the government and refused to give in. He had to leave the country. It was a hard time in his life. But many years later, people understood him and saw the building as a masterpiece(杰作). From this tour, I learned that the opera house is not only a famous building, but a carrier(载体) of history and culture. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．Who won the international design competition? 2．Where did the writer hear the beautiful sound of the orchestra? 3．What place did they visit at last? 4．What is the Sydney Opera House made of? 5．What do you think of the Sydney Opera House? （21-22九年级上·江苏淮安·期末）阅读下面短文，根据要求完成下列各题。 “If you are not fat, you must be a thin man.” “For every minute of breathing, 60 seconds pass.” “Why do you say I am lazy? In fact, I didn’t do anything.” Nonsense（废话）? Yes. These sentences look like they make sense, but they actually express no useful information. They are part of a recent Internet sentence-making craze（热潮）. “Nonsense literature” was originally invented by Internet users to make fun of the empty, and redundant（累赘的）writing style often used by media and some widely known people. Like any good Internet joke, I don’t know what to say. “Listening to your words is like listening to words.” Some even said that famous writers like Lu Xun used the style. For example, they said, Lu Xun once wrote：There are two trees in my backyard. One is jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree. Is it true? Not really. Repetition in writing is not necessarily “nonsense literature”. Lu Xun’s writing on the jujube tree comes from a piece of his prose. If you have read it, as well as understanding his time of writing, you’d find these repeated lines are powerful, showing that the writer was frustrated because of social reality. Actually, “nonsense” and “ literature” are two incompatible words. Nonsense is silly and useless. It will soon be forgotten. But literature is written work considered to have artistic value. It is a spiritual treasure worth passing down. Internet crazes like “nonsense literature” might make you laugh for a while. But they will soon disappear. Don’t throw yourself into it. Read some real literature. It will helps us stop talking nonsense. 根据上面短文的内容回答问题（每个小题答案不超过6个单词）。 1．Do the sentences of “Nonsense literature” reality make sense? 2．Who was “Nonsense literature” originally invented by? 3．Where does Lu Xun’s writing on the jujube trees come from? 4．How did Lu Xun feel when he wrote the sentence about jujube tress? 5．What can you do to help yourselves stop talking nonsense? （21-22九年级上·江苏·期末）The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games are just over one month away, and China is preparing for it in the most challenging times.
