In the following passage, we will introduce some young yet great inventors. One winter day in 1994, 10-year-old Kathryn Gregory was outside playing with snow with her younger brother. She felt her wrists (手腕) started to hurt because they were cold and wet. To solve this problem, she invented Wristies. Later, Kathry n started Wristies, a company to make and sell Wristies.

In 1819, Braille attended one of the world’s first schools for blind children, he learned about a silent communication method created by the French army for the blind. But it was still hard for him to write. Braille developed his own system using a series of raised dots (点) called Braille, which is shorter and easier for the touch system. Today, people with eye problems still use Braille to read and write. In 1996, a 10-year-old boy named Richie Stachowski invented something called the Water Talkie. Richie was just a fifth-grade r when he came up with this cool device that lets people talk to each other under water.

People have come up with many ideas about why this happens, like strange magnetic fields, or even aliens, but no one knows for sure. Atlantis Atlantis is a place that many people believe existed a long time ago but has now disappeared under the ocean. The idea of Atlantis first came from a story told by a Greek thinker called Plato. He said Atlantis was a big island with a rich and powerful civilization (文明) , but it sank into the sea after a big war. People are interested in the lost civilizations and whether developed ancient people really existed. Many explorers have tried to find Atlantis, but no one has been able to prove it really existed. The Wow! Signal In 1977, scientists at Ohio State University were listening to signals from space with a big radio telescope. Suddenly, they heard something very strange: a strong, short signal that looked like it might be a message from another planet. The researchers were so surprised that one of them wrote “Wow!” in the notes. It’s one of the few signals that scientists have ever detected that could possibly be a message from another civilization on another planet.

Hug a tree! Recently, many Chinese young people have turned to trees to help with their stress. Although it sounds strange, there’s a science behind the act of tree-hugging. It can be explained by the “biophilia hypothesis (亲生命假说)”. It means that humans are born to love being around other living things. Humans’ love for nature is “in ourDNA”. This idea helps to explain why people prefer natural, green views to city views. Some studies have looked into why tree-hugging can help with our health. A study in 2021 reported that the activity can increase oxytoein (催产素). It’s a hormone (荷尔蒙) responsible for feelings. The higher the level of the oxytocin is, the calmer and happier you may be. Another hormone called cortisol (皮质醇) is a marker of stress. The brain produces cortisol when the person is anxious, angry, or very sad. Hugging trees helps cut cortisol production, which makes us feel better. Although the activity is helpful to us, it’s important to keep in mind that we shouldn’t hurt nature while doing it. Many small creatures live on the tree and they are too small to be seen. You may want to be gentle when hugging trees—just like how you hug a friend! 1．Which of the following situation can be explained by biophilia hypothesis? A．People prefer to live in cities. B．People feel relaxed when reading books. C．People feel calm when walking in the forest. 2．According to the article, how does hugging trees help reduce stress? A．By increasing cortisol levels in the brain. B．By increasing oxytocin levels. C．By helping people feel closer to others. 3．which picture can show the meaning of the underlined word “anxious”? A． B． C． 4．Which of the following action is correct when treating nature? A．Staying away from trees. B．Touching trees gently. C．Leaving some markers on trees. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．Hormones and Happiness B．Hugging each other for Happiness C．The Science Behind Tree-Hugging （24-25九年级上·四川成都·期中） a Since we were young, we have been told to read more books to broaden (开阔) our eyes. Reading is not only part of modern education but is also encouraged by many poets and politicians in the Western and Eastern countries. bThe Book (By Zhu Xi) There lies a glassy oblong (长方形的) pool.

Some people actually need it as they cannot do their jobs without it, and others simply feel they need it as they cannot imagine life without it. To think that something that did not even exist 50 years ago has come to play a crucial role in our lives like this in just about 15 years makes one wonder-just what will the future bring? In 2004, a survey was conducted in the US asking a group of technology experts their opinions on the Internet in the next ten years. 57% of them agreed that virtual classes will be more widely adopted in schools, allowing students to learn with those at the same level and with interests in the same subjects. It’s quite possible that, by the year 2030, every child in every school will do all their schoolwork on their own laptop with all their textbooks available (现成可使用的) on the Internet. No more heavy books to carry around and no more pens and paper! At work, we already use email to deal with people both inside and outside our offices and video conferencing (电话会议) is occurring more frequently. This means that meetings can be held between offices in different countries without the trouble caused by business travel. Business travel will stop to exist in the future, and so will offices as people all start to work from home. It has also become a trend for people to use pocket computers such as Blackberries. With this helpful equipment, people can send and receive emails, surf the Web, and read multimedia files from absolutely anywhere even if we are on a beach holiday. The Internet will have a revolutionary (突破性的) effect on entertainment in the future. Already we can buy and download music and movies from the Internet, but it is still possible for us to buy a CD or go to the DVD stores to rent the latest movies. However, it’s quite a pity that in the future, CD shops and DVD rental stores will close, and cinemas will no longer exist. Entertainment will become completely virtual although hopefully people will still want to get outside to play sports and entertain themselves in more healthy ways. With the Internet we need only relax in the rocking chair. The Internet, however, has problems to be solved. 1．The expression “play a crucial role in” can be understood as “________” A．change a dull role into B．play an interesting part in C．have an important effect on D．act a cruel character in 2．According to the passage, people are satisfied with all the following changes EXCEPT that ________. A．people won’t have to make business travel any more thanks to the video conference B．virtual classes can make students’ dream of getting rid of their schoolbags come true C．people can be kept informed anytime and anywhere with the help of convenient equipment D．CD shops and cinemas will shut down as a result of the adoption of virtual entertainment 3．What will the writer probably discuss after the last paragraph? A．Bad effects the Internet can have on us. B．The possible school life in the future C．More excitements the Internet will bring us. D．The likely ways to solve the problems. 4．What is probably the best title for the passage? A．Virtual reality, our best friend! B．What will future life be like with the Internet? C．Goodbye, textbooks and offices! D．How can human beings deal with the Internet? （24-25九年级上·四川成都·期中）Tea is no stranger to us Chinese people at all. But how much do you know about tea sets (茶具)? Do you know they have changed a lot over time? In general, tea sets become smaller and simpler after many changes throughout history. There are few records of tea sets before the Tang Dynasty (唐朝). In Cha Jing (The Classic of Tea), a great book written by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty, 28 kinds of tools used for making and drinking tea are included. The tea sets in the Song Dynasty were more gorgeous (华丽的). At that time, a competitive game about tea drinking enjoyed great popularity. The tea bottle (茶壶) used in the game often had a big belly, a long neck, and a mouth that was not straight. The mouth could help the players control the water better when filling a cup. Cups made of black glaze (黑釉) were especially loved by people then, since the color matched the tea better and the thickness of the cup helped keep the tea warm. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, tea sets became simple, and those made of gold and silver slowly disappeared. To test the color of the tea, white tea sets were more popular. In the Qing Dynasty, purple clay tea sets made in Yixing, Jiangsu began to flourish and were loved widely.

However, “How are you?” is also an unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” expects to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are common ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”. Sometimes, people don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?”, the other person may be thinking, “No, I don’t. I think you’re wrong.” It isn’t polite to disagree very strongly, so he might say, “I am not so sure.” This is a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone. People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking to others. For example, many conversations over the phone end when one says, “I’ve got to go now.” or the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse such as “Someone is at the door.” The excuse may be real, or not. It means that he/she doesn’t want to talk anymore. An excuse is polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person’s feelings. Whether they are greeting others, giving an opinion, or ending a conversation, people often don’t say exactly what they are thinking. This is one way of being friendly to people, and it’s a part of the game of language. 1．Where can we probably find this passage ? A．In a science magazine. B．In a travel guide. C．In a daily newspaper. 2．Which of the blanks can be filled with the underlined word “exactly” in Paragraph 2? A．GPS can show the directions ________ at any time.

But in your book, communication with gestures is paid more attention to. ________ June: Well, gestures and other body language have different meanings in different places. What you consider friendly or polite could be thought impolite in another culture. I’ve described many of such cultural differences in my book, so my readers won’t get off on the wrong foot when they meet people from different cultures. *Can greeting someone in the wrong way really lead to misunderstanding? June: In some places, yes. The heavy handshake that a North American expects may seem quite impolite in other places. And a light handshake—which is usual in some countries—seems unfriendly to a North American. *What other gestures can cause misunderstanding? June: Take the gesture for “Come here” for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm up. But in southern Europe, that gesture means “goodbye”. And in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is thought rude, which shows no respect to others. Instead, people there gesture with the palm down. *There must be some gestures used everywhere, right? Like the thumb-up gesture for “great”? June: Sorry. That’s very rude in Australia and the Middle East. That is why it’s important to know about body language and cultural differences. 1．Which of the following can be put in ________? A．Why is that so important? B．Can you give us some examples? C．Could it make readers more interested? 2．What does June mean by saying “my readers won’t get off on the wrong foot”?

A．①②③ B．①②④ C．②③④ 5．Which of the following is TRUE according to June? A．A light handshake is polite in North America. B．The palm-down gesture is considered friendly in many Asian countries. C．If you want to say “great” to an Australian, just make a thumb-up gesture. （24-25九年级上·四川成都·阶段练习） a Everyone may get lost. Then asking for directions becomes necessary.

Finally, she went to the hospital. The doctor pushed an otoscope (检耳镜) into her ear, and within seconds, he pulled it out and looked at her in the eyes. “Have you been putting Q-tips in your ears?” he asked. Like so many others, my mother had been using Q-tips to clean her ears. And her use of Q-tips had caused an ear problem. Q-tips have long been seen as household basics. They are used for different kinds of beauty upkeep (美容保养), arts, home cleaning and baby care. Every box of Q-tips comes with a warning “Do not put this in your ear.” But many, if not most. have turned a blind eye to it. “People come in with Q-up-related ear problems all the time.” says Dennis Fitzgerald, a doctor in Washington, D．C． “People say they only use them to put on makeup (化妆品), but we know what else they’re using them for.” The Q-tip was invented in 1923 by a man named Leo Gerstenzang. He came up with the idea after watching his wife use a toothpick (牙签)—with a cotton ball on the end to carefully clean their young child. These early Q-tips were similar to those sold today except for a few key differences. They were single-sided rather than double-sided. They were for baby care, not everything under the sun. And they didn’t try to keep people from putting them in their ears. It wasn’t until the 1970s that Q-tip boxes began to warn against sticking these things inside of ears. Yet today, Q-tips are one of the most common causes of ear problems. “There’s really no way to stop it but take the product off the market,” says Fitzgerald, a doctor. “And that is, you know, impossible.” 1．Why does the writer talk about her mother’s experience at the beginning of the passage? A．To introduce the invention and history of Q-tips. B．To lead to. the topic about the dangers of Q-tips C．To help readers know the best use of Q-tips 2．Which of the following statements about Q-tips is right? A．The wrong use of Q-tips leads to many ear problems. B．The early Q-tips were used for babies only by doctors. C．People pay enough attention to the warning about Q-tips. 3．What do the early Q-tips look like? A． B． C． 4．What does Fitzgerald mean at the end of the passage? A．We never use Q-tips anymore.

Some kids are very creative and they use their creativity to invent new things. In the following passage, we will introduce some young yet great inventors. One winter day in 1994, 10-year-old Kathryn Gregory was outside playing with snow with her younger brother. She felt her wrists (手腕) started to hurt because they were cold and wet. To solve this problem, she invented Wristies. Later, Kathry n started Wristies, a company to make and sell Wristies. Now, people also wear Wristies while practicing the guitar, or while sending text messages in cold weather. Another one was Louis Braille, who was blind in both eyes. In 1819, Braille attended one of the world’s first schools for blind children, he learned about a silent communication method created by the French army for the blind. But it was still hard for him to write. Braille developed his own system using a series of raised dots (点) called Braille, which is shorter and easier for the touch system. Today, people with eye problems still use Braille to read and write. In 1996, a 10-year-old boy named Richie Stachowski invented something called the Water Talkie. Richie was just a fifth-grade r when he came up with this cool device that lets people talk to each other under water. The Water Talkie looks like a bright-colored cone and can make voices heard up to 15 feet away under the water. It’s a fun tool for anyone who likes to swim or play in the water. 1．Why did Kathryn Gregory invented Wristies? A．To help her brother. B．To keep her wrists warm. C．To make money by selling them. 2．How did Louis Braille help the blind? A．By attending a blind school. B．By inventing a new system. C．By developing a touch system. 3．What can be learned about the third invention from the article? A．Richie invented it when he was in the eighth grade. B．It’s designed to work underwater and can transmit voices up to 15 feet. C．It’s a device that allows communication on land by making voices louder. 4．What is the similarity among the inventions mentioned in the text? A．For educational purposes. B．All were invented to solve a certain problem. C．They all improve communication when people are far away. 5．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Fun Ideas from Kids B．Interesting Inventions C．Young Minds, Big Inventions 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Kathryn Gregory、Louis Braille 和 Richie Stachowski 三位孩子的发明，包括发明的原因、过程和特点等。 1．细节理解题。根据表格第一段“One winter day in 1994, 10-year-old Kathryn Gregory was outside playing with snow with her younger brother.

People have come up with many ideas about why this happens, like strange magnetic fields, or even aliens, but no one knows for sure. Atlantis Atlantis is a place that many people believe existed a long time ago but has now disappeared under the ocean. The idea of Atlantis first came from a story told by a Greek thinker called Plato. He said Atlantis was a big island with a rich and powerful civilization (文明) , but it sank into the sea after a big war. People are interested in the lost civilizations and whether developed ancient people really existed. Many explorers have tried to find Atlantis, but no one has been able to prove it really existed. The Wow! Signal In 1977, scientists at Ohio State University were listening to signals from space with a big radio telescope. Suddenly, they heard something very strange: a strong, short signal that looked like it might be a message from another planet. The researchers were so surprised that one of them wrote “Wow!” in the notes. It’s one of the few signals that scientists have ever detected that could possibly be a message from another civilization on another planet. Many scientists have tried to listen for the signal again, but they haven’t been able to hear it since. 1．Which may explain the disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle? A．Plane or ship accidents. B．Strange magnetic fields. C．A natural disaster. 2．Who first mentioned the idea of Atlantis? A．A modern-day explorer. B．A Greek thinker called Plato. C．A scientist studying ancient civilizations. 3．What does the underlined word “existed” mean?       A．Was present in the world as a real thing. B．Was lost and impossible to find. C．Fell to a lower place. 4．What made scientists think that there might be aliens? A．A message from another planet. B．A strong, short radio signal from space. C．A new planet. 5．What is the main topic of the three texts? A．Unsolved mysteries. B．Famous explorers’ discoveries. C．The history of ancient civilizations. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了世界上的三个未解之谜：百慕大三角，亚特兰蒂斯文明和Wow！信号。 1．细节理解题。根据The Bermuda Triangle介绍部分的最后一句“…like strange magnetic fields, or even aliens, but no one knows for sure.”可知磁场异常或许能解释百慕大离奇失踪之谜。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据Atlantis介绍部分的“The idea of Atlantis first came from a story told by a Greek thinker called Plato.”可知是希腊思想家柏拉图第一个提出了亚特兰蒂斯的想法。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据Atlantis介绍部分的第一句“…existed a long time ago but has now disappeared under the ocean.”可知existed a long time ago与“但是已经在海底消失”是相反的意思，即“很久以前在世界上真实存在过”。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据The Wow! Signal介绍部分的第二句“…a strong, short signal that looked like it might be a message from another planet.”可知是来自太空中的一个强而短的信号使科学家们认为可能有外星人。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。根据第一部分最后一句“…but no one knows for sure.”可知无人确切知晓百慕大离奇失踪之谜的真相；根据第二部分最后一句“…but no one has been able to prove it really existed.”可知无人能证明亚特兰蒂斯文明真实存在过；根据第三部分最后一句话“…but they haven’t been able to hear it since.”可知科学家们自那以后再没有听到过那个信号。三个部分的主题紧紧围绕未解之谜。故选A。 （24-25九年级上·四川成都·阶段练习） Feel down? Hug a tree! Recently, many Chinese young people have turned to trees to help with their stress. Although it sounds strange, there’s a science behind the act of tree-hugging. It can be explained by the “biophilia hypothesis (亲生命假说)”. It means that humans are born to love being around other living things. Humans’ love for nature is “in ourDNA”. This idea helps to explain why people prefer natural, green views to city views. Some studies have looked into why tree-hugging can help with our health. A study in 2021 reported that the activity can increase oxytoein (催产素). It’s a hormone (荷尔蒙) responsible for feelings. The higher the level of the oxytocin is, the calmer and happier you may be. Another hormone called cortisol (皮质醇) is a marker of stress. The brain produces cortisol when the person is anxious, angry, or very sad. Hugging trees helps cut cortisol production, which makes us feel better. Although the activity is helpful to us, it’s important to keep in mind that we shouldn’t hurt nature while doing it. Many small creatures live on the tree and they are too small to be seen. You may want to be gentle when hugging trees—just like how you hug a friend! 1．Which of the following situation can be explained by biophilia hypothesis? A．People prefer to live in cities. B．People feel relaxed when reading books. C．People feel calm when walking in the forest. 2．According to the article, how does hugging trees help reduce stress? A．By increasing cortisol levels in the brain. B．By increasing oxytocin levels. C．By helping people feel closer to others. 3．which picture can show the meaning of the underlined word “anxious”? A． B． C． 4．Which of the following action is correct when treating nature? A．Staying away from trees. B．Touching trees gently. C．Leaving some markers on trees. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．Hormones and Happiness B．Hugging each other for Happiness C．The Science Behind Tree-Hugging 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了拥抱树木可以缓解人们低落的情绪及背后的科学依据。 1．细节理解题。根据“It can be explained by the ‘biophilia hypothesis’. It means that humans are born…green views to city views.”可知，人类对自然的热爱“在我们的DNA中”，这个想法有助于解释为什么人们更喜欢自然的绿色景观而不是城市景观，所以，选项C“人们在森林里散步感觉冷静”可以用“亲生命假说”来解释。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“The higher the level of the oxytocin is, the calmer and happier you may be.”可知，拥抱树木是通过增加催产素水平帮助减轻压力的，催产素水平越高，人们越快乐，压力也就会越小，所以，选项B“By increasing oxytocin levels.通过增加催产素水平”符合题意。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Another hormone called cortisol is a marker of stress. The brain produces cortisol when the person is anxious, angry, or very sad. Hugging trees helps cut cortisol production, which makes us feel better.”可知皮质醇的激素是压力的标志，大脑在人焦虑、愤怒或非常悲伤时产生皮质醇，拥抱树木有助于减少皮质醇的产生，这让我们感觉更好，所以，推测“anxious”意为“焦虑的”，结合图片，选项A是“焦虑的”。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“Many small creatures live on the tree and they are too small to be seen. You may want to be gentle when hugging trees—just like how you hug a friend!”可知许多小生物生活在树上，它们太小了，看不见。拥抱树木时你可能想温柔一点，就像拥抱朋友一样！所以，选项B“Touching trees gently.轻轻地抚摸树木”，符合题意。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了拥抱树木能帮助我们减少压力，并解释了原理，所以，选项C“The Science Behind Tree-Hugging拥抱树木背后的科学”可作为最佳标题。故选C。 （24-25九年级上·四川成都·期中） a Since we were young, we have been told to read more books to broaden (开阔) our eyes.

Some people actually need it as they cannot do their jobs without it, and others simply feel they need it as they cannot imagine life without it. To think that something that did not even exist 50 years ago has come to play a crucial role in our lives like this in just about 15 years makes one wonder-just what will the future bring? In 2004, a survey was conducted in the US asking a group of technology experts their opinions on the Internet in the next ten years. 57% of them agreed that virtual classes will be more widely adopted in schools, allowing students to learn with those at the same level and with interests in the same subjects. It’s quite possible that, by the year 2030, every child in every school will do all their schoolwork on their own laptop with all their textbooks available (现成可使用的) on the Internet. No more heavy books to carry around and no more pens and paper! At work, we already use email to deal with people both inside and outside our offices and video conferencing (电话会议) is occurring more frequently. This means that meetings can be held between offices in different countries without the trouble caused by business travel. Business travel will stop to exist in the future, and so will offices as people all start to work from home. It has also become a trend for people to use pocket computers such as Blackberries. With this helpful equipment, people can send and receive emails, surf the Web, and read multimedia files from absolutely anywhere even if we are on a beach holiday. The Internet will have a revolutionary (突破性的) effect on entertainment in the future. Already we can buy and download music and movies from the Internet, but it is still possible for us to buy a CD or go to the DVD stores to rent the latest movies. However, it’s quite a pity that in the future, CD shops and DVD rental stores will close, and cinemas will no longer exist. Entertainment will become completely virtual although hopefully people will still want to get outside to play sports and entertain themselves in more healthy ways.

But how much do you know about tea sets (茶具)? Do you know they have changed a lot over time? In general, tea sets become smaller and simpler after many changes throughout history. There are few records of tea sets before the Tang Dynasty (唐朝). In Cha Jing (The Classic of Tea), a great book written by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty, 28 kinds of tools used for making and drinking tea are included. The tea sets in the Song Dynasty were more gorgeous (华丽的). At that time, a competitive game about tea drinking enjoyed great popularity. The tea bottle (茶壶) used in the game often had a big belly, a long neck, and a mouth that was not straight. The mouth could help the players control the water better when filling a cup. Cups made of black glaze (黑釉) were especially loved by people then, since the color matched the tea better and the thickness of the cup helped keep the tea warm. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, tea sets became simple, and those made of gold and silver slowly disappeared. To test the color of the tea, white tea sets were more popular. In the Qing Dynasty, purple clay tea sets made in Yixing, Jiangsu began to flourish and were loved widely.

Rainforests make up only a small part of the earth’s surface, about six percent, but there are more kinds of trees than any other area in the whole world. Tropical rainforests are in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, Australia, and on the Pacific islands. The largest tropical rainforest is the Amazon Rainforest in South America, which covers 1.2 billion areas, or almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. Rainforests provide us with many things. First of all, the Amazon Rainforest is the “lungs (肺) of our planet” because one fifth of the world’s oxygen (氧气) is produced by it. What’s more, one half of the world’s species of animals, plants and insects live in the earth’s rainforests. 80% of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. 25% of the medicine we take when we are sick is made of plants that grow only in rainforests. There are four different levels of trees in a rainforest. The forest floor is the lowest layer full of animal life and receives the least amount of light. The understorey is the dark, cool environment under the leaves but over the ground. The canopy layer is the upper parts of most of the trees. The emergent layer contains a small number of very tall trees. These different parts of a rainforest create an ecosystem for many animals, plants and human beings. 1．What percentage of the Earth’s surface is covered by rainforests? A．Only 1.2 percent. B．Almost 5 percent. C．About 6 percent. 2．Where can we probably find a tropical rainforest according to the passage? A．In France. B．In China.

Buying and enjoying these products is known as “eating gu”. For fans, “eating gu” is a way to show their interest in what they love. It was made popular by a person on the Internet. People now use “so what” when they face difficulties and challenges in their lives. It shows a belief that no matter how hard things get, they will always get better.

Besides these words, there are also some popular ones, such as “da zi” and “wo long feng chu”. The growing popularity of these words in China shows that our country’s younger people are trying to choose a better way when facing different kinds of pressure in their lives.

It’s a friendly greeting that people in the United States use. However, “How are you?” is also an unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” expects to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are common ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”. Sometimes, people don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?”, the other person may be thinking, “No, I don’t. I think you’re wrong.” It isn’t polite to disagree very strongly, so he might say, “I am not so sure.” This is a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone. People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking to others. For example, many conversations over the phone end when one says, “I’ve got to go now.” or the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse such as “Someone is at the door.” The excuse may be real, or not. It means that he/she doesn’t want to talk anymore. An excuse is polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person’s feelings. Whether they are greeting others, giving an opinion, or ending a conversation, people often don’t say exactly what they are thinking. This is one way of being friendly to people, and it’s a part of the game of language. 1．Where can we probably find this passage ? A．In a science magazine. B．In a travel guide. C．In a daily newspaper. 2．Which of the blanks can be filled with the underlined word “exactly” in Paragraph 2? A．GPS can show the directions ________ at any time.

A．①③ B．①② C．②③ 4．What does the rule of “the game of language” probably mean? A．Be polite. B．Don’t disagree with people. C．Never say exactly what you think. 5．Which of the following can best describe the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了一些友好的交流方式。 1．推理判断题。本文主要讲述了一些友好的交流方式，故文章可能出现在一本旅行杂志上。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据“Sometimes, people don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks ‘Do you agree?’, the other person may be thinking, ‘No, I don’t. I think you’re wrong.’”以及下文内容可知人们并不确切地说出他们的意思，故此处划线部分意为“确切地”，可放选项A“GPS可以随时准确地显示方向”中。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“‘How are you?’ is a nice question. It’s a friendly greeting that people in the United States use”可知“你好吗”是美国人使用的友好问候语，这是一个事实，③排除。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“This is one way of being friendly to people, and it’s a part of the game of language.”可知这是对人友好的一种方式，也是语言游戏的一部分，所以“语言游戏”意味着要有礼貌。故选A。 5．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，前三段介绍了一些友好的交流方式；第四段进行总结。故选项C符合文章结构。故选C。 （24-25九年级上·四川成都·阶段练习） Throwing tomatoes—Spain Spain takes “tomatoes fights” to a whole new level.

But in your book, communication with gestures is paid more attention to. ________ June: Well, gestures and other body language have different meanings in different places. What you consider friendly or polite could be thought impolite in another culture. I’ve described many of such cultural differences in my book, so my readers won’t get off on the wrong foot when they meet people from different cultures. *Can greeting someone in the wrong way really lead to misunderstanding? June: In some places, yes. The heavy handshake that a North American expects may seem quite impolite in other places. And a light handshake—which is usual in some countries—seems unfriendly to a North American. *What other gestures can cause misunderstanding? June: Take the gesture for “Come here” for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm up. But in southern Europe, that gesture means “goodbye”. And in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is thought rude, which shows no respect to others. Instead, people there gesture with the palm down. *There must be some gestures used everywhere, right? Like the thumb-up gesture for “great”? June: Sorry. That’s very rude in Australia and the Middle East. That is why it’s important to know about body language and cultural differences. 1．Which of the following can be put in ________? A．Why is that so important? B．Can you give us some examples? C．Could it make readers more interested? 2．What does June mean by saying “my readers won’t get off on the wrong foot”?

A． B． C． 4．What is mentioned in June’s book? ①Some common gestures. ②The importance of body language. ③Different meanings of a gesture. ④The development of body language. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．②③④ 5．Which of the following is TRUE according to June? A．A light handshake is polite in North America. B．The palm-down gesture is considered friendly in many Asian countries. C．If you want to say “great” to an Australian, just make a thumb-up gesture. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文主要通过不同手势语在不同文化中的差异来讲述非言语交流的重要性。 1．推理判断题。根据“But in your book, communication with gestures is paid more attention to.”以及“gestures and other body languages have different meanings in different places”可知，此处讲述非言语交流的重要性，选项A“为什么这如此重要？”符合语境。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据“I’ve described many of such cultural differences in my book, so my readers won’t get off on the wrong foot when they meet people from different cultures.”可知，June在书中描述了许多这样的文化差异，所以读者和来自不同文化的人交流时不会出错。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Take the gesture for ‘Come here’ for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm up. But in southern Europe, that gesture means ‘goodbye’.”可知，在北美，人们手掌朝上意思是“过来”，但在南欧，这个手势意味着“再见”。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“gestures and other body languages have different meanings in different places” “Take the gesture for ‘Come here’ for example.” “That is why it’s important to know about body language and cultural differences.”可知，书中提及了同个手势的不同含义、一些常用手势、肢体语言的重要性，未提及肢体语言的发展。故选A。 5．细节理解题。根据“And in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is thought rude, which shows no respect to others. Instead, people there gesture with the palm down.”可知，在许多亚洲国家，手掌向上的手势被认为是粗鲁的，是对他人的不尊重，相反，那里的人们认为手掌向下的手势是友好的。故选B。 （24-25九年级上·四川成都·阶段练习） a Everyone may get lost.

The pain was unbearable, and it wouldn’t go away. Finally, she went to the hospital. The doctor pushed an otoscope (检耳镜) into her ear, and within seconds, he pulled it out and looked at her in the eyes. “Have you been putting Q-tips in your ears?” he asked. Like so many others, my mother had been using Q-tips to clean her ears. And her use of Q-tips had caused an ear problem. Q-tips have long been seen as household basics. They are used for different kinds of beauty upkeep (美容保养), arts, home cleaning and baby care. Every box of Q-tips comes with a warning “Do not put this in your ear.” But many, if not most. have turned a blind eye to it. “People come in with Q-up-related ear problems all the time.” says Dennis Fitzgerald, a doctor in Washington, D．C． “People say they only use them to put on makeup (化妆品), but we know what else they’re using them for.” The Q-tip was invented in 1923 by a man named Leo Gerstenzang. He came up with the idea after watching his wife use a toothpick (牙签)—with a cotton ball on the end to carefully clean their young child. These early Q-tips were similar to those sold today except for a few key differences. They were single-sided rather than double-sided. They were for baby care, not everything under the sun. And they didn’t try to keep people from putting them in their ears. It wasn’t until the 1970s that Q-tip boxes began to warn against sticking these things inside of ears. Yet today, Q-tips are one of the most common causes of ear problems. “There’s really no way to stop it but take the product off the market,” says Fitzgerald, a doctor. “And that is, you know, impossible.” 1．Why does the writer talk about her mother’s experience at the beginning of the passage? A．To introduce the invention and history of Q-tips. B．To lead to. the topic about the dangers of Q-tips C．To help readers know the best use of Q-tips 2．Which of the following statements about Q-tips is right? A．The wrong use of Q-tips leads to many ear problems. B．The early Q-tips were used for babies only by doctors. C．People pay enough attention to the warning about Q-tips. 3．What do the early Q-tips look like? A． B． C． 4．What does Fitzgerald mean at the end of the passage? A．We never use Q-tips anymore. B．The government should stop the sale of Q-tips. C．It seems hard to avoid using Q-tips in people’s life. 5．In which column (栏目) can you read the passage in the newspaper? A．Heath Care B．New Inventions C．Art Work 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了棉签在耳朵清洁中的广泛滥用，最终导致了常见的耳朵问题。 1．推理判断题。根据“Like so many others, my mother had been using Q-tips to clean her ears. And her use of Q-tips had caused an ear problem.”可知和许多其他人一样，我妈妈一直在用棉签清洁耳朵，她使用棉签导致了耳朵问题，所以作者提到妈妈的经历是为了引出关于棉签危险的话题。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“And her use of Q-tips had caused an ear problem.”和“‘Do not put this in your ear.” But many, if not most. have turned a blind eye to it.””可知棉签盒子上警告不要把它放在耳朵里，但是很多人不注意，仍然使用棉签清洁耳朵，这导致了耳朵问题，所以棉签的错误使用会造成很多耳朵问题。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“These early Q-tips were similar to those sold today, except for a few key differences. They were single-sided rather than double-sided.”可知这些早期的棉签是单头的，选项B符合。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“‘There’s really no way to stop it but take the product off the market,’ says Fitzgerald, a doctor. ‘And that is, you know, impossible.’”可知不可能把棉签从市场除去，即很难避免使用棉签。故选C。 5．推理判断题。本文主要介绍了棉签在耳朵清洁中的广泛滥用，由此导致了常见的耳朵问题，故文章可能出现在报纸的“医疗保健”部分。故选A。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
