专题05 阅读理解之说明文 Passage1（23-24九年级上·陕西榆林·期末） It seems that deliverymen (外卖员) are always in a rush. They wear blue, red or yellow helmets and many of them don’t follow traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving. However, not everything goes well with them. In the first half of last year, seventy-six traffic accidents in total about deliverymen happened in Shanghai. That means every two and a half days, a deliveryman will get hurt or even lose his or her life on the road. “What makes deliverymen take such risks? The strict rules of the food delivery service and the impatient customers are the two reasons. Many companies (公司) will fine a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan if he fails to be on time,” reported by China Daily. Fines also go to those who get bad comments from customers. “To solve this serious problem, delivery service companies need to improve their management systems and also some rules or laws should be made to avoid deliverymen breaking traffic rules,” according to CRI Online. Some cities have already taken actions. For example, some companies in Shanghai have set some courses for their deliverymen to study traffic rules. In Shenzhen, if a deliveryman gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice, he will be banned (禁止) from driving the electronic bike for a whole year. 1．The first paragraph mainly tells us that many deliverymen ________. A．work very hard B．have mobile phones C．are good at driving D．break traffic rules 2．The underlined word “fine” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”. A．to show something good of a person B．to ask someone how much money he has spent C．to make someone pay some money as a punishment D．to help someone by giving him or her some money 3．What can we know from this passage? A．It is not necessary for deliverymen to follow the traffic rules. B．There are 2 reasons for deliverymen to take risks of breaking traffic rules. C．No rules or laws have been made to avoid deliverymen breaking traffic rules. D．76 traffic accidents about deliverymen happened in Shanghai over the past year. Passage2（23-24九年级上·陕西宝鸡·期末） Many students are afraid of taking examinations, but they are an important part of the educational experience. Students must keep studying for many years in order to be prepared for different exams. And they should cultivate study skills in their learning because these skills can help them in all of their courses. One of the most important and simplest ways to prepare for exams is to have all classes and to take notes on lectures (讲座) and discussions. For effective (有效的) studying, however, these notes must be meaningful. Students should not write down everything that they hear, but some key words and phrases that will remind them of the topics that were discussed. By focusing on the most important topics of the lecture or discussion in their note­taking, students will improve their understanding of the lesson. While memory is an important part of studying, students should also try to improve their understanding of the main ideas in their courses. Before each text, students should look over the materials to get a general sense of the information that they are expected to learn. Next, students should think about the questions, trying to guess what they will be expected to learn. Then students read the text carefully, looking for the answers to the questions. For the fourth step, students recite (背诵) what they have learned. Finally, students must review the materials. Time management skills are another necessary part of effective studying. Many students simply review before the exams. But this can limit long­term memories because students can easily forget the information they have put in their short­term memories. Studying is a long process. 4．The underlined word “cultivate” in paragraph 1 means “________”． A．repeat B．change C．copy D．develop 5．How can students improve their understanding of a lesson?

Passage4（23-24九年级上·陕西咸阳·期末） China’s finless porpoises (江豚) face a serious situation in and around the Yangtze River, but people see signs of hope. In a lake along the middle of Yangtze River, a sound breaks the silence of the water. An animal appears to enjoy the fresh air. It’s a finless porpoise—a kind of animal in danger in China. Finless Porpoise is kind of aquatic mammal (水生哺乳动物) in China’s longest river. Chinese people call them “smiling angels” because they can give big smiles. However, because of pollution, overfishing and shipping, their number is becoming smaller and smaller. China’s government said there were 1,012 Yangtze finless porpoise in 2017. From 2006 to 2012, the number fell by almost half. Luckily, things got better in 2018. People care more about the environment. “In fact, everyone played an important role in it.

Passage5（23-24九年级上·陕西渭南·期末） Nowadays lots of kids are at home alone after school. Are you one of them? Kids who regularly take care of themselves are called “latchkey kids” (钥匙儿童). This nick name (昵称) got its start in the 1940s. Many men fought in the Second World War and women had to take jobs in factories to keep the country going. With both parents away, lots of kids went back to empty houses after school. Latchkey kids wore house keys around their necks and they used the keys to open doors. Today, it’s common for both parents to work. As a result, a new generation of kids are spending some time alone after school. It becomes necessary for both parents and kids to make some rules. There are a lot of questions to talk about: Should you call your mum, or dad as soon as you get home? Should you do your homework first? Can you watch TV or play computer games? If so, how long? What can you eat if you want a snack? Can friends come over? If so, how many? ... As latchkey kids, knowing how to stay safe is just as important as following the family rules. Talk about the following questions with your parents: What should you do when the phone rings? What should you do if someone knocks at the door? What should you do if someone breaks into the house? What should you do if you cut yourself while cooking? ... You may feel ________ when you are at home alone. Don’t worry. Keeping yourself busy is helpful. There are many things which can make you feel that time goes by quickly. ●Read a magazine.    ●Write an email.    ●Phone a friend. 15．Latchkey kids ________.

They might not seem any different from common buildings. But let’s take a closer look. Stay cool and warm. It takes a lot of energy to light rooms. It also takes energy to heat and cool buildings. So green buildings are designed to do all these things with much less energy. An energy-smart building starts with thick walls. Special insulation (隔热材料) inside keeps heat inside in winter and keeps heat outside in summer. This saves energy for heating and cooling. Some green buildings don’t need any radiators (散热器) or air conditioning at all! Save the trees. What a building is made from can also help the planet. To save forests, some green buildings have bamboo floors instead of wood. Bamboo looks like wood, but it’s actually a grass. It grows back 20 times faster than a tree. Another way to build green is to use recycled materials. That saves the cost and reduces pollution of producing something new. Make better home. City planners like green buildings because they save money and they are healthier for the people who work and live inside. But you don’t need to build a whole new building. Simple changes like shading windows and planting trees can make any home greener—and a better Earth home for us all. As more people become worried about climate change, more buildings are going green. Experts are finding new ways to build green buildings. We also need to change our mind. Let’s take action now! 18．What does the underlined word “light” mean in Chinese? A．点亮 B．拆除 C．扩大 D．阻止 19．Bamboo is used instead of wood in green buildings because _________.

But for people living in some parts of the world, they don’t have enough food to eat. As an individual (个人), what can we do to settle the problem of food waste? Welcome “ugly food” In fact, food waste starts on farms. On the farm, farmers usually choose pretty vegetables and fruit and send them to the nearby supermarkets. Then those ugly vegetables and fruit often go to waste. Usually, ugly vegetables and fruit are of the same quality as those beautiful ones. So we can choose ugly vegetables and fruit that often get left behind on farms but are safe to eat. Buy local food Now all over the world, many cities encourage people to buy local food. It is a good idea because a lot of food waste happens during transportation (运输). If the storage conditions for fresh food are not good enough, a lot of food will rot (腐烂) along the way. It means before reaching supermarkets, the food has to be thrown away. So buy local food, and cut food waste. Make shopping plans In our daily life, we can plan our meals and buy only what we need. By making a shopping list and sticking to it, we can avoid overbuying and wasting food. 26．Which word can take the place of the underlined word?

Across China, museum halls were filled with visitors during the summer vacation. To many museums, such crowds had not often been seen before. So, what was behind this “museum craze (狂热)”? Part of the reason is a growing interest in traditional Chinese culture, according to Guo Sike, a leader of the Confucius Museum in Shandong province. “Nowadays, young Chinese love traditional Chinese culture,” said Guo. He added that modern technologies have also played a role. They allow people to experience traditional culture in more ways. The Shaanxi History Museum in the city of Xi’an also saw an increase in visitors. The museum can only allow 12,000 people to visit each day. Its ticket booking app, however, received more than 600,000 clicks a day. To solve the problem, the museum called of (取消) its Monday rest. It was also open for more hours on Sundays. Popular study tours also helped bring more people to museums. The Confucius Museum saw many of these tours. In Xi’an, the Qinqiang Opera was a popular subject of study tours. Local museums offered chances to learn the culture. “Museums are bridges. They connect the past, present and future,” said Yang Chaoming, a professor at Shandong University.

Isn’t this how we always argue? Reaching an understanding or seeing things from another person’s point of view can be difficult. But what if there was a way to change this? Science has the answer to our problems! Scientists have found that “reflecting on (仔细考虑) your values before discussing with someone makes you more open-minded” and it’s not easy to get angry at the other person. By doing this you increase your openness to being wrong, reported the Science website. Paul Hanel, a sociologist (社会学家) at the University of Essex, UK, did this study. To test this, more than 300 student volunteers were put into small groups to discuss some topics. Then half of the group was asked to think of their 19 most important values, such as freedom (自由) and acceptance (接纳) of those who are different. While the other half reflected on what drinks they liked. Then they had discussions again. About 60 percent of the values group showed more openness than the drinks group. And80 percent of the values group also reported feeling more empathy (同情心). So next time when you want to argue with your friends or parents, try this simple method! 37．From the passage, we can know that seeing things from another person’s point of view is _________. A．difficult B．funny C．easy D．boring 38．How did Paul Hanel get this method? A．By discussing the arguments. B．By reflecting his values. C．By researching on the Internet.

Passage12（23-24九年级上·陕西西安·期末） When a baby comes to this world, people usually give it a name. And when they choose a name for a baby, there are many different kinds of traditions in different places around the world. In many European countries, parents usually choose their babies’ names based on the names of their relatives. For example, children in Italy are usually named after their grandparents. The parents generally use babies’ grandparents’ names first on their fathers’ side. If they have more children, they will use the ones on their mothers’ side. In some African countries, the time of a baby’s birth plays an important part in choosing a baby’s name. But each day is different for boys and girls. For example, a boy who was born on Friday is usually named Kofi and a girl born on that day is usually named Afua. In some Asian countries, it is a baby’s grandfather who chooses the baby’s name. What’s more, a child’s name may influence his or her character (性格). From the name, we can know the child is outgoing, shy or brave and so on. In China, parents often name their babies with some certain things such as an earthquake or an event: And people usually add their best wishes to their babies’ names. No matter where people live, a baby’s name is its first gift in life. How do the parents around you choose names for their babies? Can you tell us? 40．By saying “But each day is different for boys and girls.”, the writer wants to tell us _________.

Do you know how to be green? We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it often results in lots of pollution. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you. Reduce. It means “use less”. It suggests people should produce less pollution and throw less rubbish. People should reduce waste by buying fewer things. So before we are going to buy a new thing, try to think whether it is really necessary for us. Reuse. Reuse means “use again”. It asks people to use things as long time as possible. When we buy things, guarantee that we really need them and we can use them for a long time. We should value them so that we can use them for a longer time. And if we can, we should repair (修理) them instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. If we can use a china (陶瓷) up or a lunch box, we are doing something green and helpful. Recycle. Recycle means “use in a new way”. Many people encourage people to recycle things. Look at these examples. People often recycle old or waste electrical things and try to create some new things with some parts from the old ones. Second, some people try to make some bags with old clothes. At last, people often clean the house or water plants with used water. 43．The writer talks about ________ ways to protect the environment in the passage.

But did you know that there are many other kinds of robots and they do much more than that? Let’s meet some of these robots and find out what they do. Social robots are very popular. Wakamaru, a Japanese robot, is helpful to elderly and disabled people. It can help people remember to take their medicine, and it can also call for help in an emergency (紧急情况). Robovie Ⅱ is a social robot that helps people go shopping. Robots that can do housework are very popular today. They will help you clean your house. With their help, you’ll have more time to enjoy life. Medical robots are very important in modern medicine. With the da Vinci Surgical System, the doctor sits several feet away from the patient and controls the robot’s every move. The HeartLander can do heart operation. Thanks to robotics makers, disabled people can have robotic hands that work like human hands. Service robots help in emergencies. The VGTV is a small robot that is used to help search for people who are trapped (受困的) under fallen buildings. It can change its shape to go into small spaces. Explorer robots are very useful too. The Groundwater Voyager makes maps of underwater environments. Some robots can work in space easily.

Let me tell you something about it. You can find almost any fast food in Denmark, such as hamburgers and hot dogs. Danish open-faced sandwiches are not only delicious, but also pretty and fun. They are works of art. Tasting some is an experience that shouldn’t be missed. “Lego” toys were created in Denmark. The toys were made of wood before. Building with Legos helps students learn about engineering, physics and technology in a fun way. In 1968, the first Legoland theme park opened in Billund, Denmark. Today, there are Legoland parks in California, Florida, Malaysia, Dubai, Windsor, Japan and Germany. Bicycling is popular in Denmark. Nine out of ten Danes have a bike. They ride their bikes no matter what the weather. They aren’t just riding bikes for fun. They use bikes to get to work, to take their kids to places, and even to carry goods. Today, more and more people are choosing bikes over cars. They have a saying in Denmark, “A bicycle is a Dane’s best friend.” Denmark is called the land of fairy tales（童话故事）. Andersen’s another popular fairy tale is The Little Mermaid（小美人鱼）. The Little Mermaid statue（雕塑） has been regarded as Denmark’s most famous landmark since 1913. The Danes believe that she brings them good luck. 51．Where is Denmark? A．In eastern Europe. B．In northern Europe. C．In western Europe.

Passage16（23-24九年级上·陕西宝鸡·期末） As the days are getting colder, you might wish you could magically turn into a bear and spend the winter sleeping. In fact, scientists are looking for ways to let humans hibernate, too! During hibernation, an animal’s heart rate and breathing slow down. They can save energy when there is little food in the winter months. Japanese researchers have found the secret behind hibernation—the “W neurons”. These in animals’ brains can put them into a hibernation state. The researchers also did operations on mice after turning on the mice’s “Q neurons”. It turned out that during hibernation, the operations do less harm to the mice. According to the team, humans’ “Q neurons” cannot be turned on and off as easily as the mice’s. But they are confident in copying the mice’s hibernation in humans. That means we could let people “hibernate” when having operations, causing less damage to their bodies. In recent years, more scientists are getting to realize the benefits of hibernation. US scientist Katherine Grabek found that when the thirteen-lined ground squirrel hibernates, it cleans out harmful brain plaques that are related to Alzheimer’s in humans. They hope to design some medicine for humans based on this finding. Besides, some studies in bats show that, during hibernation, their bodies age more slowly. This also provides new ideas for making humans live longer in the future, according to New Scientist magazine. At the same time, scientists have found a lot of fun facts on animals. For example, a bat s heart rate drops to 25 beats per minute during hibernation—down from 400 when it’s awake. Its breathing slows so much that it might not take a breath for up to an hour!

They make the world lively and colorful. Every living thing needs to reproduce (繁殖) to create more members. How do plants reproduce? They have to spread their seeds to other areas. Plants have developed all kinds of ways to do this. The simplest way to spread seeds is through gravity (重力). Many seeds are inside of fruit. When fruit gets too heavy, it falls from a tree to the ground. Apples spread this way. When you see this happening, you’ll think of a certain scientist. Some plants use wind to spread their seeds. Dandelions (蒲公英) are a good example of this. Dandelion seeds are so light that when wind blows, it carries dandelion seeds to new places. Maple (枫树) seeds also use wind. Their seeds are connected with long, thin leaves that look like wings. When the seed falls from the tree, its “wings” help it fly farther from the tree. Some animals help plants spread their seeds. Sometimes animals pick up the fruit and drop it in another area. That helps move the seed even farther away. Some animals eat the seeds: While the seed is in the animal’s body, it stays whole. When the seed leaves the animal, it’s in a new place. Ants also help spread seeds. Some seeds have a special smell that appeals to ants. The ants bring the seeds back to their home, which of course is underground. They only eat part of the seed. They leave the rest of the seed underground. After that, the seed can start growing. 58．What does the underlined word “They” refer to in the first paragraph? A．Animals. B．Plants. C．Ants. D．Animals and plants. 59．What can’t help the plants spread seeds? A．Gravity. B．Wind. C．Trees. D．Some animals. 60．What’s the best title of this passage? A．How Animals Reproduce B．How Plants Spread Seeds C．How Apples Fall From a Tree D．How Dandelions Come to the World Passage18（23-24九年级上·陕西榆林·期末） One thing that makes humans different from other animals is our ability to develop customs and traditions. In fact, humans love doing this so much that the world has been full of thousands of different cultures. Here are two surprising customs from around the world. Pointing with lips in Nicaragua In Nicaragua, it is common for people to point with the lip instead of the thumb (大拇指) or index finger (食指) like most people of the world. Do you want to know how people point with their lips? It all starts by pouting (噘嘴). The pout is always used in conversations to show something that is happening nearby. Kissing in France The ways of greeting are different in different cultures around the world. Latin American culture and Roman culture share the similar custom of kissing both loved ones and new friends on the cheek (脸颊). Yet, the French seem to take this to a new level with the number of kisses. Firstly, the rules are different for men and women. Secondly, the number of greeting kisses changes from place to place. What’s more, French people are expected to greet each person at a party whether they know the person or not. 61．People in Nicaragua use ________ to point. A．the lip B．the thumb C．the hand D．the index finger 62．People in Rome greet their friends by ________. A．saying “hello” B．shaking their hands C．kissing them on the cheek D．smiling at and hugging them 63．What can we learn about French people? A．It’s polite to kiss each person at the party. B．It’s a custom to greet people by kissing on the left hand. C．The greeting rules are quite different for people of different ages. D．The French from different places share the same number of greeting kisses. 64．What’s the main purpose of the text? A．To introduce the ways of greeting. B．To tell us the customs of France. C．To introduce two surprising customs. D．To compare the customs of different places. Passage19（23-24九年级上·陕西西安·期末） Many Chinese people will wonder what presents to give to their moms on Mother’s Day, but not many know Mother’s Day is actually a festival from the western country. Mother’s Day exactly came from America during the early 20th century. It was spread to China in the 1980s. Why did a foreign festival become popular in China? In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged the filial devotion (孝顺) to parents. There were many stories which showed filial devotion in ancient China. For example, the story of “Taste Liquid Medicine for Mother (《亲尝汤药》)” tells us the filial devotion of Emperor Wen of the Western Han dynasty. His mother had been sick for three years. He often stayed up by her bedside and cared for her day and night. He tasted the liquid medicine first before she drank it. Also, mother love is a subject in Chinese ancient poems, like Song of the Parting Son (《游子吟》). Children in China grew up with the education of filial devotion. On Mother’s Day, people often give roses or forget-me-nots to their mothers. And, Carnations (康乃馨) are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own flowers for mothers. It is the tiger lily. Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the festival itself. Maybe mothers only want their children to be happy and healthy. 65．Mother’s Day was spread to China _______. A．in the 1890s B．in the 1980s C．during the early 20th century D．during the late 20th century 66．Why is Mother’s Day popular in China? A．Because it is widely spread around the world. B．Because it is the simplest way to express love. C．Because it is a good time to show love to parents. D．Because Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged the filial devotion. 67．________ are regarded as the Chinese own flowers for mothers. A．Roses B．Carnations C．Tiger lilies D．Forget-me-nots 68．What can be the best title for this passage? A．Mother’s Day in China B．Some Poems About Mother’s Day C．The Food on Mother’s Day D．Mother’s Day in Western Countries Passage20（23-24九年级上·陕西西安·期末） In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts (主人) and the worst guests in the world. They’re not really bad guests. But because the guest-host relationship in China is very different from that in western countries, it appears they are not nice guests. My wife, a very kind Chinese lady, doesn’t smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in the house, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she can not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family, she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don’t be too surprised if they don’t bring you a gift. In China, you probably won’t need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected. 69．What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to” in the passage? A．think back to B．get used to C．look forward to D．keep close to 70．The writer is not ________ according to the passage. A．Chinese B．American C．English D．Canadian 71．What can be learned from the passage? A．Old habits die hard. B．You can’t teach old dogs new tricks. C．When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D．Actions speak louder than words. 72．The writer writes this passage mainly to tell us ________. A．foreigners should learn from Chinese B．hosts must do things in the guests’ way C．western hosts are always nice to guests D．people should understand cultural differences 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 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题05 阅读理解之说明文 Passage1（23-24九年级上·陕西榆林·期末） It seems that deliverymen (外卖员) are always in a rush. They wear blue, red or yellow helmets and many of them don’t follow traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving. However, not everything goes well with them. In the first half of last year, seventy-six traffic accidents in total about deliverymen happened in Shanghai. That means every two and a half days, a deliveryman will get hurt or even lose his or her life on the road. “What makes deliverymen take such risks? The strict rules of the food delivery service and the impatient customers are the two reasons. Many companies (公司) will fine a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan if he fails to be on time,” reported by China Daily. Fines also go to those who get bad comments from customers. “To solve this serious problem, delivery service companies need to improve their management systems and also some rules or laws should be made to avoid deliverymen breaking traffic rules,” according to CRI Online. Some cities have already taken actions. For example, some companies in Shanghai have set some courses for their deliverymen to study traffic rules. In Shenzhen, if a deliveryman gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice, he will be banned (禁止) from driving the electronic bike for a whole year. 1．The first paragraph mainly tells us that many deliverymen ________. A．work very hard B．have mobile phones C．are good at driving D．break traffic rules 2．The underlined word “fine” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”. A．to show something good of a person B．to ask someone how much money he has spent C．to make someone pay some money as a punishment D．to help someone by giving him or her some money 3．What can we know from this passage? A．It is not necessary for deliverymen to follow the traffic rules. B．There are 2 reasons for deliverymen to take risks of breaking traffic rules. C．No rules or laws have been made to avoid deliverymen breaking traffic rules. D．76 traffic accidents about deliverymen happened in Shanghai over the past year. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 【导语】本文主要讲了一些外卖送餐员经常违反交通规则的原因，以及讲了如何解决这个问题的策略。 1．段落大意题。根据第一段“It seems that deliverymen (外卖员) are always in a rush…many of them don’t follow traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving.”可知，本段主要告诉我们很多外卖送餐员经常违反交通规则，故选D。 2．词义猜测题。根据第三段“Many companies (公司) will fine a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan if he fails to be on time”可知，此处应指如果送货员不准时，许多公司将对其处以最高2000元的罚款，fine应意为“罚款”，与选项C“让某人付一些钱作为惩罚”同义，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“What makes deliverymen take such risks? The strict rules of the food delivery service and the impatient customers are the two reasons.”可知，送货员冒险违反交通规则有两个原因，故选B。 Passage2（23-24九年级上·陕西宝鸡·期末） Many students are afraid of taking examinations, but they are an important part of the educational experience. Students must keep studying for many years in order to be prepared for different exams. And they should cultivate study skills in their learning because these skills can help them in all of their courses. One of the most important and simplest ways to prepare for exams is to have all classes and to take notes on lectures (讲座) and discussions. For effective (有效的) studying, however, these notes must be meaningful. Students should not write down everything that they hear, but some key words and phrases that will remind them of the topics that were discussed. By focusing on the most important topics of the lecture or discussion in their note­taking, students will improve their understanding of the lesson. While memory is an important part of studying, students should also try to improve their understanding of the main ideas in their courses. Before each text, students should look over the materials to get a general sense of the information that they are expected to learn. Next, students should think about the questions, trying to guess what they will be expected to learn. Then students read the text carefully, looking for the answers to the questions. For the fourth step, students recite (背诵) what they have learned. Finally, students must review the materials. Time management skills are another necessary part of effective studying. Many students simply review before the exams. But this can limit long­term memories because students can easily forget the information they have put in their short­term memories. Studying is a long process. 4．The underlined word “cultivate” in paragraph 1 means “________”． A．repeat B．change C．copy D．develop 5．How can students improve their understanding of a lesson? A．By taking notes about some key points. B．By looking over the materials before the class. C．By writing everything they hear in class.

In a lake along the middle of Yangtze River, a sound breaks the silence of the water. An animal appears to enjoy the fresh air. It’s a finless porpoise—a kind of animal in danger in China. Finless Porpoise is kind of aquatic mammal (水生哺乳动物) in China’s longest river. Chinese people call them “smiling angels” because they can give big smiles. However, because of pollution, overfishing and shipping, their number is becoming smaller and smaller. China’s government said there were 1,012 Yangtze finless porpoise in 2017. From 2006 to 2012, the number fell by almost half. Luckily, things got better in 2018. People care more about the environment. “In fact, everyone played an important role in it. So the animals could not only live more comfortably, but also reproduce (繁殖) naturally and successfully. That really cheered us up a lot!” Liu says. “It’s important and necessary for us to protect our environment and other lives on the earth.” 11．The sound breaking the silence of the water comes from ________.

Are you one of them? Kids who regularly take care of themselves are called “latchkey kids” (钥匙儿童). This nick name (昵称) got its start in the 1940s. Many men fought in the Second World War and women had to take jobs in factories to keep the country going. With both parents away, lots of kids went back to empty houses after school. Latchkey kids wore house keys around their necks and they used the keys to open doors. Today, it’s common for both parents to work. As a result, a new generation of kids are spending some time alone after school. It becomes necessary for both parents and kids to make some rules. There are a lot of questions to talk about: Should you call your mum, or dad as soon as you get home? Should you do your homework first? Can you watch TV or play computer games? If so, how long? What can you eat if you want a snack? Can friends come over? If so, how many? ... As latchkey kids, knowing how to stay safe is just as important as following the family rules. Talk about the following questions with your parents: What should you do when the phone rings? What should you do if someone knocks at the door? What should you do if someone breaks into the house? What should you do if you cut yourself while cooking? ... You may feel ________ when you are at home alone. Don’t worry. Keeping yourself busy is helpful.

They might not seem any different from common buildings. But let’s take a closer look. Stay cool and warm. It takes a lot of energy to light rooms. It also takes energy to heat and cool buildings. So green buildings are designed to do all these things with much less energy. An energy-smart building starts with thick walls. Special insulation (隔热材料) inside keeps heat inside in winter and keeps heat outside in summer. This saves energy for heating and cooling. Some green buildings don’t need any radiators (散热器) or air conditioning at all! Save the trees. What a building is made from can also help the planet. To save forests, some green buildings have bamboo floors instead of wood. Bamboo looks like wood, but it’s actually a grass. It grows back 20 times faster than a tree. Another way to build green is to use recycled materials. That saves the cost and reduces pollution of producing something new. Make better home. City planners like green buildings because they save money and they are healthier for the people who work and live inside. But you don’t need to build a whole new building. Simple changes like shading windows and planting trees can make any home greener—and a better Earth home for us all. As more people become worried about climate change, more buildings are going green. Experts are finding new ways to build green buildings. We also need to change our mind. Let’s take action now! 18．What does the underlined word “light” mean in Chinese? A．点亮 B．拆除 C．扩大 D．阻止 19．Bamboo is used instead of wood in green buildings because _________.

A．build a whole new green building B．pay attention to climate change C．eat out every day D．make small changes to our home 21．The writer writes the passage to _________. A．tell people how to build common houses B．show the different buildings in the world C．encourage people to build green buildings D．give advice on buying houses 【答案】18．A 19．B 20．D 21．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了环保建筑的好处，呼吁大家行动起来建立环保型建筑。 18．词义猜测题。根据“It takes a lot of energy to light rooms.”可知，房间的照明需要消耗大量的能源，因此划线单词表示“点亮”。故选A。 19．细节理解题。根据“Bamboo looks like wood, but it’s actually a grass. It grows back 20 times faster than a tree.”可知，在环保建筑中用竹子代替木材是因为它长得更快。故选B。 20．细节理解题。根据“But you don’t need to build a whole new building.

But for people living in some parts of the world, they don’t have enough food to eat. As an individual (个人), what can we do to settle the problem of food waste? Welcome “ugly food” In fact, food waste starts on farms. On the farm, farmers usually choose pretty vegetables and fruit and send them to the nearby supermarkets. Then those ugly vegetables and fruit often go to waste. Usually, ugly vegetables and fruit are of the same quality as those beautiful ones. So we can choose ugly vegetables and fruit that often get left behind on farms but are safe to eat. Buy local food Now all over the world, many cities encourage people to buy local food. It is a good idea because a lot of food waste happens during transportation (运输). If the storage conditions for fresh food are not good enough, a lot of food will rot (腐烂) along the way. It means before reaching supermarkets, the food has to be thrown away. So buy local food, and cut food waste. Make shopping plans In our daily life, we can plan our meals and buy only what we need. By making a shopping list and sticking to it, we can avoid overbuying and wasting food. 26．Which word can take the place of the underlined word?

Visitors often found that tickets for the following week had been fully booked. Across China, museum halls were filled with visitors during the summer vacation. To many museums, such crowds had not often been seen before. So, what was behind this “museum craze (狂热)”? Part of the reason is a growing interest in traditional Chinese culture, according to Guo Sike, a leader of the Confucius Museum in Shandong province. “Nowadays, young Chinese love traditional Chinese culture,” said Guo. He added that modern technologies have also played a role. They allow people to experience traditional culture in more ways. The Shaanxi History Museum in the city of Xi’an also saw an increase in visitors. The museum can only allow 12,000 people to visit each day. Its ticket booking app, however, received more than 600,000 clicks a day. To solve the problem, the museum called of (取消) its Monday rest. It was also open for more hours on Sundays. Popular study tours also helped bring more people to museums. The Confucius Museum saw many of these tours. In Xi’an, the Qinqiang Opera was a popular subject of study tours.

You’re wrong! Isn’t this how we always argue? Reaching an understanding or seeing things from another person’s point of view can be difficult. But what if there was a way to change this? Science has the answer to our problems! Scientists have found that “reflecting on (仔细考虑) your values before discussing with someone makes you more open-minded” and it’s not easy to get angry at the other person. By doing this you increase your openness to being wrong, reported the Science website. Paul Hanel, a sociologist (社会学家) at the University of Essex, UK, did this study. To test this, more than 300 student volunteers were put into small groups to discuss some topics. Then half of the group was asked to think of their 19 most important values, such as freedom (自由) and acceptance (接纳) of those who are different. While the other half reflected on what drinks they liked. Then they had discussions again. About 60 percent of the values group showed more openness than the drinks group. And80 percent of the values group also reported feeling more empathy (同情心). So next time when you want to argue with your friends or parents, try this simple method! 37．From the passage, we can know that seeing things from another person’s point of view is _________. A．difficult B．funny C．easy D．boring 38．How did Paul Hanel get this method? A．By discussing the arguments. B．By reflecting his values. C．By researching on the Internet.

In fact, scientists are looking for ways to let humans hibernate, too! During hibernation, an animal’s heart rate and breathing slow down. They can save energy when there is little food in the winter months. Japanese researchers have found the secret behind hibernation—the “W neurons”. These in animals’ brains can put them into a hibernation state. The researchers also did operations on mice after turning on the mice’s “Q neurons”. It turned out that during hibernation, the operations do less harm to the mice. According to the team, humans’ “Q neurons” cannot be turned on and off as easily as the mice’s. But they are confident in copying the mice’s hibernation in humans. That means we could let people “hibernate” when having operations, causing less damage to their bodies. In recent years, more scientists are getting to realize the benefits of hibernation. US scientist Katherine Grabek found that when the thirteen-lined ground squirrel hibernates, it cleans out harmful brain plaques that are related to Alzheimer’s in humans. They hope to design some medicine for humans based on this finding. Besides, some studies in bats show that, during hibernation, their bodies age more slowly. This also provides new ideas for making humans live longer in the future, according to New Scientist magazine. At the same time, scientists have found a lot of fun facts on animals. For example, a bat s heart rate drops to 25 beats per minute during hibernation—down from 400 when it’s awake. Its breathing slows so much that it might not take a breath for up to an hour! Also, a black bear can go without eating, drinking or going to the bathroom for 100 days. During hibernation, their wounds even heal perfectly. 54．The underlined word “hibernate” means ________ in Chinese. A．睡觉 B．吃饭 C．冬眠 D．生活 55．What will happen to the mice if they are during hibernation? A．The operations will do less harm to them. B．Their heart rate will be quicker. C．Their breathing will rise up. D．They will need more energy. 56．The study about hibernation will provide new ideas for ________. A．making humans do less work in the future B．making humans live longer in the future C．making humans sleep more D．making humans live more healthily 57．This passage is written to ________. A．share some findings on hibernation B．improve humans to hibernate C．introduce some benefits of hibernation D．show how the animals hibernate 【答案】54．C 55．A 56．B 57．A 【导语】本文是一篇科普文章，文章分享了一些关于冬眠的发现，也介绍了科学家们在寻找让人类冬眠的方法。 54．词义猜测题。根据“you might wish you could magically turn into a bear and spend the winter sleeping. In fact, scientists are looking for ways to let humans hibernate, too!”可知前文提到了熊睡一整个冬天，因此划线词指的是“冬眠”。故选C。 55．细节理解题。根据“It turned out that during hibernation, the operations do less harm to the mice.”可知，结果表明，在冬眠期间，手术对老鼠的伤害较小。故选A。 56．细节理解题。根据“This also provides new ideas for making humans live longer in the future, according to New Scientist magazine.”可知研究冬眠将为人类未来的长寿提供了新的思路。故选B。 57．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据“Japanese researchers have found the secret behind hibernation”；“This also provides new ideas for making humans live longer in the future, according to New Scientist magazine.”以及“At the same time, scientists have found a lot of fun facts on animals.”可知这篇文章是为了分享一些关于冬眠的发现。故选A。 Passage17（23-24九年级上·陕西宝鸡·期末） Our world is full of animals and plants. They make the world lively and colorful. Every living thing needs to reproduce (繁殖) to create more members. How do plants reproduce? They have to spread their seeds to other areas. Plants have developed all kinds of ways to do this. The simplest way to spread seeds is through gravity (重力). Many seeds are inside of fruit. When fruit gets too heavy, it falls from a tree to the ground. Apples spread this way. When you see this happening, you’ll think of a certain scientist. Some plants use wind to spread their seeds. Dandelions (蒲公英) are a good example of this. Dandelion seeds are so light that when wind blows, it carries dandelion seeds to new places. Maple (枫树) seeds also use wind. Their seeds are connected with long, thin leaves that look like wings. When the seed falls from the tree, its “wings” help it fly farther from the tree. Some animals help plants spread their seeds. Sometimes animals pick up the fruit and drop it in another area. That helps move the seed even farther away. Some animals eat the seeds: While the seed is in the animal’s body, it stays whole. When the seed leaves the animal, it’s in a new place. Ants also help spread seeds. Some seeds have a special smell that appeals to ants. The ants bring the seeds back to their home, which of course is underground. They only eat part of the seed. They leave the rest of the seed underground. After that, the seed can start growing. 58．What does the underlined word “They” refer to in the first paragraph? A．Animals. B．Plants. C．Ants. D．Animals and plants. 59．What can’t help the plants spread seeds? A．Gravity. B．Wind. C．Trees. D．Some animals. 60．What’s the best title of this passage? A．How Animals Reproduce B．How Plants Spread Seeds C．How Apples Fall From a Tree D．How Dandelions Come to the World 【答案】58．D 59．C 60．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了植物是如何繁殖的。 58．词句猜测题。根据“Our world is full of animals and plants. They make the world lively and colorful.”可知，划线部分代词they代指的是动物和植物。故选D。 59．细节理解题。根据“The simplest way to spread seeds is through gravity (重力).”和“Some plants use wind to spread their seeds.”以及“Some animals help plants spread their seeds.”可知，树不能帮助植物传播种子。故选C。 60．最佳标题题。根据通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了植物是如何繁殖的。选项B“植物如何传播种子”符合本文标题。故选B。 Passage18（23-24九年级上·陕西榆林·期末） One thing that makes humans different from other animals is our ability to develop customs and traditions. In fact, humans love doing this so much that the world has been full of thousands of different cultures. Here are two surprising customs from around the world.

Mother’s Day exactly came from America during the early 20th century. It was spread to China in the 1980s. Why did a foreign festival become popular in China? In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged the filial devotion (孝顺) to parents. There were many stories which showed filial devotion in ancient China. For example, the story of “Taste Liquid Medicine for Mother (《亲尝汤药》)” tells us the filial devotion of Emperor Wen of the Western Han dynasty. His mother had been sick for three years. He often stayed up by her bedside and cared for her day and night. He tasted the liquid medicine first before she drank it. Also, mother love is a subject in Chinese ancient poems, like Song of the Parting Son (《游子吟》). Children in China grew up with the education of filial devotion. On Mother’s Day, people often give roses or forget-me-nots to their mothers. And, Carnations (康乃馨) are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own flowers for mothers. It is the tiger lily. Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the festival itself. Maybe mothers only want their children to be happy and healthy. 65．Mother’s Day was spread to China _______. A．in the 1890s B．in the 1980s C．during the early 20th century D．during the late 20th century 66．Why is Mother’s Day popular in China? A．Because it is widely spread around the world. B．Because it is the simplest way to express love. C．Because it is a good time to show love to parents. D．Because Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged the filial devotion. 67．________ are regarded as the Chinese own flowers for mothers. A．Roses B．Carnations C．Tiger lilies D．Forget-me-nots 68．What can be the best title for this passage? A．Mother’s Day in China B．Some Poems About Mother’s Day C．The Food on Mother’s Day D．Mother’s Day in Western Countries 【答案】65．B 66．D 67．C 68．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了母亲节的起源，解释了它在中国被广泛接受的原因，还介绍了中华传统文化中的“孝道”。 65．细节理解题。根据“Mother’s Day exactly came from America during the early 20th century.

They’re not really bad guests. But because the guest-host relationship in China is very different from that in western countries, it appears they are not nice guests. My wife, a very kind Chinese lady, doesn’t smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in the house, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she can not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family, she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don’t be too surprised if they don’t bring you a gift. In China, you probably won’t need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected. 69．What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to” in the passage? A．think back to B．get used to C．look forward to D．keep close to 70．The writer is not ________ according to the passage. A．Chinese B．American C．English D．Canadian 71．What can be learned from the passage? A．Old habits die hard. B．You can’t teach old dogs new tricks. C．When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D．Actions speak louder than words. 72．The writer writes this passage mainly to tell us ________. A．foreigners should learn from Chinese B．hosts must do things in the guests’ way C．western hosts are always nice to guests D．people should understand cultural differences 【答案】69．B 70．A 71．C 72．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了中西方的待客之道。 69．词义猜测题。根据“Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon”可知在中国的客人也有特殊的习惯，一些西方人可能不会很快适应这些习惯，故此处划线部分和get used to“适应”意义相近。故选B。 70．推理判断题。根据“My wife, a very kind Chinese lady, doesn’t smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in the house, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she can not do that”可知作者的妻子是中国人，她不抽烟，但是她不阻止客人抽烟，但是作者想要直接阻止客人，可推知作者不是中国人。故选A。 71．推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，作者介绍了中西方的待客之道，在不同的国家要尊重不同的习惯，即入乡随俗。故选C。 72．主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了中西方的待客之道，告诉我们要理解文化差异。故选D。 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 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
