专题05 阅读还原 （一）（24-25九年级上·福建莆田·期中） Courage is often thought to be one of the important spirits everyone needs. Then what is courage? 1 One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential (潜力). Kids build courage as they are growing up. Many people talk about the connections between courage and fear. 2 If there is no fear, there is no need for courage. That is to say, courage is the ability to do what makes you feel afraid. Courage doesn’t only mean great actions such as saving one’s life or taking a big risk. 3 For example, we show courage when we raise our hand to answer a hard question during class or try a new sport. Courage is in everyday choices we make. Can you be kind to the new kid in class? 4 Or can you stand up for someone in need? Often, these things don’t come with praise, but they need courage. 5 When we become brave enough to face failure, we’ll be more willing to try new things and try again after we fail. Courage doesn’t always shout. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says, “I’ll try again tomorrow.” A．It is the ability to do something difficult. B．Courage always stands side by side with fear. C．Can you listen to the new person in your group? D．Learning to fail is another important part of courage. E．Courage also means the smaller actions of our everyday lives. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．E 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文讲述了勇气通常被认为是每个人都需要的重要精神之一以及阐述了勇气是什么。 1．根据上文中的问句“Then what is courage?”可知，此处解释什么是勇气，所以选项A“它是做困难事情的能力”符合语境。故选A。 2．根据上文“Many people talk about the connections between courage and fear.”可知，此处是说勇气和恐惧的关系。选项B“勇气总是与恐惧并存”符合语境。故选B。 3．根据上文“Courage doesn’t only mean great actions such as saving one’s life or taking a big risk.”可知，此处是说勇气还意味着什么，所以选项E“勇气也意味着我们日常生活中的小事”符合语境。故选E。 4．根据上文“Can you be kind to the new kid in class?”和下文“Or can you stand up for someone in need?”可知，该处也是提问，所以选项C“你能听小组里新来的人说话吗”符合语境。故选C。 5．根据下文“When we become brave enough to face failure, we’ll be more willing to try new things and try again after we fail.”可知，此处强调的是勇气与失败的关系，所以选项D“学会失败是勇气的另一个重要部分”符合语境。故选D。 （二）（23-24九年级上·福建福州·期中） Reading is a lifelong journey.

It’s not because foreigners don’t like watermelons but “they can’t afford them”. Do you know why? 11 It’s reported that a kilo of US watermelon is about $6.91 in New York, which is about ¥46 in China. 12 But things are different in China. According to the FAO (联合国粮农组织), China now is the world’s largest watermelon producer and customer, which helps to keep prices low. To start with, China has a large land area. 13 With the large output (产量), the price is naturally much lower. Secondly, countries like the USA and Australia also have a wide land, but watermelons were not introduced there as early as in China. The local people prefer other fruits that were known earlier to watermelons. 14 Thirdly, according to some reports, it’s true that watermelons in China might taste better. 15 She is an 80-year-old Chinese scientist who spends her whole life on the improvement of growing better watermelons. Thanks to her hard work, we can enjoy more sweetness in our life. A．Watermelons are also known to be expensive in Japan and South Korea.

The top of our world is changing twice as fast as the rest of the planet. As a result, the coastlines (海岸线) are getting worse and worse. 1 Human activity is another reason, also the most important one. Coastal pollution caused by ships and overfishing have changed coastlines, which both are human activities. However, coastlines are necessary for both people and animals. People depend on coastal areas for travel, transportation, resources and many other things. 2 Unluckily, the coastlines are being badly polluted by humans. There is no doubt that coastlines have brought rich resources to humans. So many fishing grounds provide delicious food. 3 However, these animals need a clean and safe environment to live in. Why are coastlines important to animals as well? Many animals live on or near the coastlines. 4 So something needs to be done to protect coastlines. Our government has made policy to stop pouring polluted water into the sea and overfishing. Meanwhile, we should balance our development needs with the number of resources. We should find a point when resources protection and development needs can both be achieved. 5 For example, rubbish must be dealt with properly. A．We can also help in small ways. B．But now these animals’ homes are polluted. C．What’s more, people need some sea animals for medicine. D．Fish and other animals also depend on these areas for food. E．Warming is not the only reason why coastlines become worse. 【答案】1．E 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了海岸线对人类和动物都至关重要，但目前正遭受严重的人为污染，影响着人类的生活和动物的生存环境，为了保护海岸线，政府已采取措施减少污染和过度捕捞，同时我们需要平衡资源保护和发展需求，确保环境的可持续发展。 1．根据“Human activity is another reason, also the most important one.

But controlling anger is not easy. 6 Walk away from any situation that causes you to feel or want to express anger. 7 So if you are in the angry situation, you should run away from that to calm yourself down first. Then think it over to find whether it is worthy of being angry. 8 When you enjoy a film, you may not feel happy for watching anything funny. But it should soon make you smile and relieve (缓解) some of your bad feelings. Keep a DVD of your favorite comedy on hand for such a situation to relieve the bad feelings. You can write the things that make you angry down on paper. After writing down your thoughts, read them over until they no longer make you angry and throw them away. Some people may choose to cut them into pieces. 9 Keep asking yourself “why am I angry?”. Understanding and analyzing (分析) anger is the key to controlling it. Sometimes we get angry because we just don’t know how to express ourselves well. 10 So find out what makes you angry and choose a way to relieve it. A．Laughing is really the best medicine. B．Here are a few suggestions on how to control anger. C．Both of them are great ways for the angry one. D．Avoiding the angry situation is the best way to avoid anger.

Only 4 in 10, according to a recent survey of 11,500 girls. Of the rest, 19% said they were not pretty, and another 40% said they were not sure. Our survey also found that more than half of girls spent a lot of time thinking about the way they looked. 11 And half of girls said they usually didn’t like the way they looked in a selfie (自拍照). That’s a problem and here’s why: when girls don’t feel attractive, they often don’t feel good about themselves in general. If you only have negative thoughts and feelings about the way you look, it can let a girl down. 12 ●If you feel pressure to be pretty or thin, talk to someone. Your mom is a good choice. ●Take great care of yourself by eating well, exercising, and getting enough sleep. ● 13 It’s not about looking magazine-cover beautiful. When you hold yourself to impossıble standards, it only tears you down and puts too much focus on being perfect. 14 Then how you look won’t take up so much space in your brain and you can work on other more interesting stuff. Most girls in our survey agree this is a good idea. 15 Then, in time, you’ll achieve a group of things and you’ll feel great about yourself—all and all of you can become beautiful! A．Instead, like your looks. B．Some even said they did this very often. C．Put your energy into what you enjoy. D．Here are some helpful steps to take.

When I asked the class a question, nobody raised a hand to answer. It made me feel like my class was really boring. 17 Finally, I finished my introduction, and it was time for the students to practice. I felt better when I saw that they were able to move most of the chess pieces. However, I found they still had some problems with the knight (马) and the pawn (兵). 18 When the class was over, I felt like I was really poor at teaching others. In the evening, I reflected on my lesson. What did I do well? Why my lesson was not good enough? I thought about these questions, and then I practiced more for my second class. 19 I spoke more smoothly and my students showed more interest in my lesson. When the class was over, they all wanted to play chess with me. 20 This meant they had learned the game successfully and they were interested in playing it! I was happy. My efforts really paid off! Before I returned to school, I left eleven sets of chess for my students. I hope they will play chess forever and have fun with it. A．To my surprise, they all played it correctly!

When Should People Apologize? 22 You might argue with a friend and say mean things to her. You might break a rule at school or at home. When you know you did something wrong, apologizing is the right thing to do. What If It Was Not My Fault? 23 You might step on someone’s foot by mistake. It is still a good idea to apologize. Apologizing can be a way of saying, “I wish that did not happen.” What If I Did Not Start the Problem? Imagine a student says something mean to you in the school hallway. 24 You might think, “I did not start it, so I do not have to apologize.” The student was wrong to be mean to you. That does not make it right for you to throw his book. Even if you did not start the problem, you should apologize for what you did wrong. What If I Do Not Feel Sorry? People can tell if you say “I am sorry” and you do not really mean it. 25 Maybe you are still feeling angry, so you do not want to apologize. Take some time to calm down and think about what happened. Then try apologizing. The other person might still be angry with you, but you will probably feel better about yourself. Why? You will know you did the right thing. A．Sometimes accidents happen. B．It is not always easy to apologize to someone. C．Sometimes we do things we know we should not do.

The researchers found that the ants build big hills over their homes, up to 40 centimeters tall. 29 “This business of building your own landmark (地标) is amazing.” said John Longino of the University of Utah, who studies insects. “Are they sitting down to a meeting to decide whether they need a bigger landmark?” 30 But the hills are usually built by younger ants that haven’t been away to look for food yet. That means the older ants who have looked for food may ask younger ants to build the hills, reported Science News. A．For now, we don’t know the answer. B．It becomes harder to find their way back. C．The hills become landmarks to help ants get home. D．But researchers have now found one desert animal’s smart method.

Here are some useful tips. They don’t take long to practice, yet will help you remember better. 32 The most important reason why people can’t remember other people’s names is that they don’t pay enough attention to the names. Their brains are filled with some other thoughts during the introduction. So next time when you want to remember a name, a place, or any other information, try to pay more attention. Avoid multitasking (多重任务). Multitasking seems normal and necessary in such a busy world. However, studies have shown that 98% of people can really only pay attention to one activity at a time. When multitasking, you are switching attention between different activities. As a result, you lose some information easily. 33 Get your blood flowing and bring O2 to your brain. Your brain needs good blood flow and O2 to work well. 34 Do at least twenty minutes of aerobic exercise every day. When you are preparing for an exam, don’t sit at your desk all day. Study for 20 to 30 minutes and then do some 5-to-10-minute exercise. Improve memory by self-testing. Let’s say you want to remember the important parts of an article or a book. Prepare a list of questions that you are going to test yourself on. 35 You can further improve on this by answering the questions again the next day, and then two days later… So, which memory improvement tip will you start with? A．The best way to get this is by moving your body. B．Pay more attention to what you want to remember. C．The more often you switch, the more you are going to lose. D．It is about learning how brain works and making good use of it. E．After finishing reading, take a short break and answer the questions. 【答案】31．D 32．B 33．C 34．A 35．E 【导语】本文介绍了提高记忆力的几个实用技巧。 31．根据“You don’t have to change your brain’s memory system.”可知，此处指的是记忆与大脑相关，选项D“这是关于学习大脑是如何工作的，并充分利用它。”符合语境。故选D。 32．根据“So next time when you want to remember a name, a place, or any other information, try to pay more attention.”可知，此处与注意相关，选项B“多注意你想记住的东西。”符合语境。故选B。 33．根据“When multitasking, you are switching attention between different activities.

More than half of our total body weight is water. 37 That’s why we need to drink plenty of water every day. We drink water. We use it to cook, clean, and carry waste out of our homes. Farmers use it to grow vegetables and crops (庄稼) like rice and corn; factories use it to make products. Since the 1950s, the amount (数量) of water people use has increased by three times. 38 Scientists worry that soon there won’t be enough water for us, as well as for the animals and plants that share our world. What can we do to help? Use water wisely. Having enough water isn’t our only problem. 39 . Right now, ships and factories are putting wastes into seas, rivers and so on. Even chemicals that farmers use are running into rivers and lakes. 40 It can also harm fish and other water-living lives. We must do something to stop pollution.

Then what is courage? 1 One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential (潜力). Kids build courage as they are growing up. Many people talk about the connections between courage and fear. 2 If there is no fear, there is no need for courage. That is to say, courage is the ability to do what makes you feel afraid. Courage doesn’t only mean great actions such as saving one’s life or taking a big risk. 3 For example, we show courage when we raise our hand to answer a hard question during class or try a new sport. Courage is in everyday choices we make. Can you be kind to the new kid in class? 4 Or can you stand up for someone in need? Often, these things don’t come with praise, but they need courage. 5 When we become brave enough to face failure, we’ll be more willing to try new things and try again after we fail. Courage doesn’t always shout. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says, “I’ll try again tomorrow.” A．It is the ability to do something difficult. B．Courage always stands side by side with fear. C．Can you listen to the new person in your group? D．Learning to fail is another important part of courage. E．Courage also means the smaller actions of our everyday lives.（二）（23-24九年级上·福建福州·期中） Reading is a lifelong journey.

It’s not because foreigners don’t like watermelons but “they can’t afford them”. Do you know why? 11 It’s reported that a kilo of US watermelon is about $6.91 in New York, which is about ¥46 in China. 12 But things are different in China. According to the FAO (联合国粮农组织), China now is the world’s largest watermelon producer and customer, which helps to keep prices low. To start with, China has a large land area. 13 With the large output (产量), the price is naturally much lower. Secondly, countries like the USA and Australia also have a wide land, but watermelons were not introduced there as early as in China. The local people prefer other fruits that were known earlier to watermelons. 14 Thirdly, according to some reports, it’s true that watermelons in China might taste better. 15 She is an 80-year-old Chinese scientist who spends her whole life on the improvement of growing better watermelons. Thanks to her hard work, we can enjoy more sweetness in our life. A．Watermelons are also known to be expensive in Japan and South Korea. B．Chinese need to thank Wu Mingzhu for cheap and tasty watermelons. C．Therefore, watermelons are not as popular as other kinds of fruits. D．And the weather is just right for planting watermelons. E．The reason lies in their high price in most countries. （一）（24-25九年级上·福建泉州·期中） We are facing a serious problem. The top of our world is changing twice as fast as the rest of the planet. As a result, the coastlines (海岸线) are getting worse and worse. 1 Human activity is another reason, also the most important one. Coastal pollution caused by ships and overfishing have changed coastlines, which both are human activities. However, coastlines are necessary for both people and animals. People depend on coastal areas for travel, transportation, resources and many other things. 2 Unluckily, the coastlines are being badly polluted by humans. There is no doubt that coastlines have brought rich resources to humans. So many fishing grounds provide delicious food. 3 However, these animals need a clean and safe environment to live in. Why are coastlines important to animals as well? Many animals live on or near the coastlines. 4 So something needs to be done to protect coastlines. Our government has made policy to stop pouring polluted water into the sea and overfishing. Meanwhile, we should balance our development needs with the number of resources. We should find a point when resources protection and development needs can both be achieved. 5 For example, rubbish must be dealt with properly. A．We can also help in small ways. B．But now these animals’ homes are polluted. C．What’s more, people need some sea animals for medicine. D．Fish and other animals also depend on these areas for food. E．Warming is not the only reason why coastlines become worse.（二）（24-25九年级上·福建厦门·期中） Anger often causes people to make poor choices or say words they will regret. But controlling anger is not easy. 6 Walk away from any situation that causes you to feel or want to express anger. 7 So if you are in the angry situation, you should run away from that to calm yourself down first. Then think it over to find whether it is worthy of being angry. 8 When you enjoy a film, you may not feel happy for watching anything funny. But it should soon make you smile and relieve (缓解) some of your bad feelings. Keep a DVD of your favorite comedy on hand for such a situation to relieve the bad feelings. You can write the things that make you angry down on paper. After writing down your thoughts, read them over until they no longer make you angry and throw them away. Some people may choose to cut them into pieces. 9 Keep asking yourself “why am I angry?”. Understanding and analyzing (分析) anger is the key to controlling it. Sometimes we get angry because we just don’t know how to express ourselves well. 10 So find out what makes you angry and choose a way to relieve it. A．Laughing is really the best medicine. B．Here are a few suggestions on how to control anger. C．Both of them are great ways for the angry one. D．Avoiding the angry situation is the best way to avoid anger.

Only 4 in 10, according to a recent survey of 11,500 girls. Of the rest, 19% said they were not pretty, and another 40% said they were not sure. Our survey also found that more than half of girls spent a lot of time thinking about the way they looked. 11 And half of girls said they usually didn’t like the way they looked in a selfie (自拍照). That’s a problem and here’s why: when girls don’t feel attractive, they often don’t feel good about themselves in general. If you only have negative thoughts and feelings about the way you look, it can let a girl down. 12 ●If you feel pressure to be pretty or thin, talk to someone. Your mom is a good choice. ●Take great care of yourself by eating well, exercising, and getting enough sleep. ● 13 It’s not about looking magazine-cover beautiful. When you hold yourself to impossıble standards, it only tears you down and puts too much focus on being perfect. 14 Then how you look won’t take up so much space in your brain and you can work on other more interesting stuff. Most girls in our survey agree this is a good idea. 15 Then, in time, you’ll achieve a group of things and you’ll feel great about yourself—all and all of you can become beautiful! A．Instead, like your looks. B．Some even said they did this very often. C．Put your energy into what you enjoy. D．Here are some helpful steps to take. E．Do your best to feel good about how you look. （四）（24-25九年级上·福建泉州·期中） At the beginning of this summer holiday, I took part in a Anxi Children Palace as a volunteer teacher. 16 I was so nervous during my first class that I couldn’t introduce chess as clearly as I had performed before. When I asked the class a question, nobody raised a hand to answer. It made me feel like my class was really boring. 17 Finally, I finished my introduction, and it was time for the students to practice. I felt better when I saw that they were able to move most of the chess pieces. However, I found they still had some problems with the knight (马) and the pawn (兵). 18 When the class was over, I felt like I was really poor at teaching others. In the evening, I reflected on my lesson. What did I do well? Why my lesson was not good enough? I thought about these questions, and then I practiced more for my second class. 19 I spoke more smoothly and my students showed more interest in my lesson. When the class was over, they all wanted to play chess with me. 20 This meant they had learned the game successfully and they were interested in playing it! I was happy. My efforts really paid off! Before I returned to school, I left eleven sets of chess for my students. I hope they will play chess forever and have fun with it. A．To my surprise, they all played it correctly! B．I had to explain (解释) the rules again and again. C．I taught local students how to play chess. D．The next day, I felt more relaxed and confident.

When Should People Apologize? 22 You might argue with a friend and say mean things to her. You might break a rule at school or at home. When you know you did something wrong, apologizing is the right thing to do. What If It Was Not My Fault? 23 You might step on someone’s foot by mistake. It is still a good idea to apologize. Apologizing can be a way of saying, “I wish that did not happen.” What If I Did Not Start the Problem? Imagine a student says something mean to you in the school hallway. 24 You might think, “I did not start it, so I do not have to apologize.” The student was wrong to be mean to you. That does not make it right for you to throw his book. Even if you did not start the problem, you should apologize for what you did wrong. What If I Do Not Feel Sorry? People can tell if you say “I am sorry” and you do not really mean it. 25 Maybe you are still feeling angry, so you do not want to apologize. Take some time to calm down and think about what happened. Then try apologizing. The other person might still be angry with you, but you will probably feel better about yourself. Why? You will know you did the right thing. A．Sometimes accidents happen. B．It is not always easy to apologize to someone. C．Sometimes we do things we know we should not do. D．Apologizing when you are not sorry does not help much.

The researchers found that the ants build big hills over their homes, up to 40 centimeters tall. 29 “This business of building your own landmark (地标) is amazing.” said John Longino of the University of Utah, who studies insects. “Are they sitting down to a meeting to decide whether they need a bigger landmark?” 30 But the hills are usually built by younger ants that haven’t been away to look for food yet. That means the older ants who have looked for food may ask younger ants to build the hills, reported Science News. A．For now, we don’t know the answer. B．It becomes harder to find their way back. C．The hills become landmarks to help ants get home. D．But researchers have now found one desert animal’s smart method. E．To get back, they normally count their steps and use the sun to work out where they are. （七）（24-25九年级上·福建福州·期中） Improving your memory doesn’t have to be a difficult thing. 31 You don’t have to change your brain’s memory system. Here are some useful tips. They don’t take long to practice, yet will help you remember better. 32 The most important reason why people can’t remember other people’s names is that they don’t pay enough attention to the names. Their brains are filled with some other thoughts during the introduction. So next time when you want to remember a name, a place, or any other information, try to pay more attention. Avoid multitasking (多重任务). Multitasking seems normal and necessary in such a busy world. However, studies have shown that 98% of people can really only pay attention to one activity at a time. When multitasking, you are switching attention between different activities. As a result, you lose some information easily. 33 Get your blood flowing and bring O2 to your brain. Your brain needs good blood flow and O2 to work well. 34 Do at least twenty minutes of aerobic exercise every day. When you are preparing for an exam, don’t sit at your desk all day. Study for 20 to 30 minutes and then do some 5-to-10-minute exercise. Improve memory by self-testing. Let’s say you want to remember the important parts of an article or a book. Prepare a list of questions that you are going to test yourself on. 35 You can further improve on this by answering the questions again the next day, and then two days later… So, which memory improvement tip will you start with? A．The best way to get this is by moving your body. B．Pay more attention to what you want to remember. C．The more often you switch, the more you are going to lose. D．It is about learning how brain works and making good use of it. E．After finishing reading, take a short break and answer the questions. （八）（24-25九年级上·福建福州·期中） Look at the Earth from space. Why does our planet look so blue? 36 Water is not just an important part of our planet. It is an important part of our body, too. More than half of our total body weight is water. 37 That’s why we need to drink plenty of water every day. We drink water. We use it to cook, clean, and carry waste out of our homes. Farmers use it to grow vegetables and crops (庄稼) like rice and corn; factories use it to make products. Since the 1950s, the amount (数量) of water people use has increased by three times. 38 Scientists worry that soon there won’t be enough water for us, as well as for the animals and plants that share our world. What can we do to help? Use water wisely. Having enough water isn’t our only problem. 39 . Right now, ships and factories are putting wastes into seas, rivers and so on. Even chemicals that farmers use are running into rivers and lakes. 40 It can also harm fish and other water-living lives. We must do something to stop pollution.
