Here are three iriportant characters 九年级英语 第2页 (共8页) 1. Ban Zhao (45-116): China's First Female Historian As the first woman in Chinese history to work as a professional historian, Ban Zhao completed her brother Ban Gu's important work Book of Han, which recorded 230 years of Western Han history. Emperor He admired her work so much that he asked her to tcach history and astronomy to the royal family(皇 室). Her most famous work Lessons for Women, with some old ideas by today's standards, expressed the importance of education for women --- a very new idea at the time 2. Huang Daopo (1245-1330): The Cotton Oueen This amazing inventor changed China's cotton industry forever _ After spending years learning advanced weaving(纺织) skills from the Li people in Hainan, she returned to her hometown near Shanghai and invented three game-changing tools: the cotton fluffer (to prepare cotton faster), the foot-powered spinning wheel (to spin thread more easily) and the multi-spindle weaving machine (to weave cloth quicker). Her inventions made cloth-making four times faster and helped many people earn money. 3. Lady Yi (2nd Century): China's First Female Doctor During China's Eastern Han Dynasty(25-220 AD). while most women usually stayed at home. Lady Yi broke barriers(障碍) as China's first recorded female doctor. She started as a palace maid( 宫女) but taught herself medicine by secretly reading books in the royal library at night. Her big break came when she cured the Emperor's favorite wife of a mysterious fever that male doctors couldn't deal with. Then she became the first female Palace Medical Officer. Her artemisia treatment later helped scientist Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize with her malaria(疤疾) treatment in 2015 23.Hiow did Huang Daopo improve China's eotton industry': A. By teaching women to read and write B. By writing books about Han Dynasty history C. By inventing tools making cloth production faster D. By discovering new medicines for kinds of diseases 24. Why was Lady Yi's work important? A. She became China's first female histot tan and writer B. She invented foot-juwered machines for farming. C. She wrote numbers of Lessons for Women about education D. She helped develop a Nobel Prize-winning malaria treatment 25. What is the main purpose of this passage? 九年级英语 第3页 (共8页) A. To compar: the lives of women in ancient and those in modern China B. To describe three influential women in Chinese history and their achievements C. To explain how ancient Chincse invcntions are still being used today. D. To argus.that women were more important than men in ancierit China B Cuckoos(布含) are masters of cheating. When it comes to raising young, they don't spend the energy building a nest(鸟巢), protccting cggs or feeding children fnstead. the female passes these roles on to other birds. Usually, they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, fooling other birds into thinking thc cuckoo eggs are theirs. To succeed in doing this, a fentale cuckoo watches over her chosen nest to watch feeding times. When the host parent leaves its nest in search of food, the cuckoo quickly lays her eggs among those already in the nest. Sometimes, she will even get rid of(除 去) one of the host's eggs to make room for her own Cuckoos are medium-sized birds with long tails, and often have gray or brown backs. When they hatch(孵化) and begin to grow in a host's nest, the difference between the two can be clear Often the cuckoo is twice the size of its foster parents(养父封). but still continues to receive food from them. The cuckoo imposter(冒名顶替者) is usually the only baby bird that the host parent has to care for. This is because when the cuckoo hatches atter around 11 davs, it gets rid of all the other eggs in the nest. It will lift each egg onto its back one by one over the edge of the nest. Even then the non-biological parent will continue to treat it as one of its own Also, cuckoos have developed to produce eggs that are similar in color to their main hosts" This reduces the chances of eggs being attacked. Female cuckoos have been known to take host birds' attention away after laying their eggs by producing a noise similar to Eurasian sparrowhawks(欧亚雀鹰), scaring birds away from returning to the nest and allowing time for the cuckoo to make her escape unnoticed 26. What do mother cuckoos usually do when it comes to raisiug their young? A. Take care of eggs. B. Putfld a new nest. C. Learn fecding skills D. Depend on other birds 27. What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Other cuckoos B. Cuckoo's host parents C. Baby cuckoos. D. Cuckoo's birth parents 28. What can be inferred(推断) about the cuckoo imposter) A. It usually hatches out earlier than the other eggs in the nest B. It throws all the other cggs out of nests with its mother's help C. It often makes a noive to scare other birds away from the nest D. It looks much larger than other eggs in the nest Lafore hatching 29. Which can be the best title for the text? A. How cuckoos protect their children B. How cuckoos fool other birds C. How cuckoos destroy others' nests D. How cuckoos proctuce eggs 九年级英语 第4页 (共8页) C On the 9th day of May, 1711, I was left alone on an island I did not know.
