Passage 1
(24-25九年级上·贵州黔东州·期中)
Every English learner needs to know how to ask for something in English. There are a number of ways to do this. If you know someone has something, you can ask for it with a polite question. If you don’t know, it’s possible to ask for something with a yes or no question. Be careful not to use the direct expressions. In other words, don’t say “Give me that”, but ask kindly as the following examples, “Do you have a pen I could borrow?” “Is there any wine?” “Did you buy any bread?”
If you know or see someone has something, ask a polite question with “could” “may” or “might”. It’s also possible to use “can” in some special situations. In the past, “can” was not used when asking for something, but meant ability. In the UK, people mainly use “Can you lend me…?” or “Can I have…?” In the USA, this is still considered to be wrong and “May I have…?” is preferred.
It’s common to use “Could you lend/hand/give…?” Here are a lot you can use: “May/Can I borrow…?” “Could/Can you lend me…?” “May I have…?” “Could you hand/give me…?” Do not begin a sentence with “please”, but you can add “please” at the end of the sentence to be polite.
1.What can we ask if we know someone has something?
A.A direct question. B.A yes or no question. C.A polite question.
2.What can Lucy say politely if she wants some coffee?
A. B. C.
3.Which of the following is a correct polite expression according to the passage?
A.Do you give me any milk, please? B.Please could you lend me your ruler? C.May I have some tea, please?
4.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.How to express or ask politely.
B.What to do when we are polite.
C.How to describe our ideas.

Passage 3
(24-25九年级上·贵州贵阳多区联考·期中)
“Dong” is one of China’s 55 ethnic minorities, with a population of less than three million, mainly living in South China. The ethnic group is well known for its traditional embroidery (刺绣), which has long been passed down from generation to generation (世代相传).
Qin Naishiqing is a master of Dong embroidery in Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County in the southern part of Guangxi. At the age of 91, she is still good at cutting paper patterns, which she says is the spirit of the handmade art. “You should be very skillful in embroidery to become good at paper cutting. When you get a piece of paper, you should form a picture of the patterns in your mind without actually drawing them,” Qin said.
Teaching embroidery is a family tradition, and Qin’s two daughters-in-law usually join her in teaching youngsters. Phoenixes (凤凰), dragons and flowers are common patterns featured in folk art, which are reproduced on embroidered products. Spider flowers, seen as a symbol of good wishes, are very important in Dong people’s embroidery patterns.
Every Dong girl is encouraged to learn the skill at an early age, around 9 or 10 years old. When she gets married, she will traditionally receive a whole set of clothes, including a wedding dress, made by her mother.
There are now thousands of women in the country taking up embroidery—an art form that has remained unchanged over the years. Qin hopes she can help make sure the tradition continues for future generations.

A.introduce the topic of the passage
B.tell us the population of Dong
C.show us how Dong people embroider
2.According to Qin Naishiqing, ________ is an important part of embroidery.
A.paper cutting B.a great skill C.drawing pictures

Passage 1
(24-25九年级上·贵州·期中)
People across Canada and the world were sad on March 10, 2023. The killer whale (虎鲸) named Kiska died at Marineland (海洋公园) on this day.
Kiska was the only killer whale left at Marineland and the last one kept in captivity (圈养) in Canada after catching whales was stopped. So people call her the “Loneliest Whale in the World”. According to the workers, Kiska died “peacefully” at the age of 47. But the reason why she died is still unclear.
Animal right activists (动物权益保护者) say they’re sad and outraged over Kiska’s story. Killer whales in the wild live in close family groups with a need to be together, but the video of Kiska showed her swimming alone in her pool. She was caught in the Atlantic at about the age of three and kept at Marineland for more than 40 years, the last 12 years by herself.
Kiska was caught off Iceland along with Keiko that was finally returned to the wild. Activists were hoping Kiska would be the first whale set free into a new whale sanctuary (保护区) planned for the Nova Scotia coast. Although Kiska has gone, the activists are still hoping the sanctuary will become a home for the other white whales and dolphins at Marineland.
根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。
1.Why do people call Kiska the “Loneliest Whale in the World”?
A.Because she died quietly and alone.
B.Because she was lonely when she was caught.
C.Because she was the only and last killer whale kept at Marineland.

B.The loneliest whale in the world died at Marineland
C.Animal right activists tried to save animals in danger
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.A 4.B
【导语】本文讲述了虎鲸Kiska的经历并呼吁人们保护海洋动物。
1.细节理解题。根据“Kiska the killer left Marineland the one in in after Convention the of came force. ”可知,基斯卡是海洋世界仅存的虎鲸,所以说她是世界上最孤独的鲸鱼。故选C。
2.词句猜测题。根据上下文“Animal right activists (动物权益保护者) say they’re sad and outraged over Kiska’s story”可知,这里是动物权益保护者表达对事件的愤怒,因此“outraged”与“angry”的词义相同。故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据“Kiska was caught…kept at Marineland for more than 40 years, the last 12 years by herself”可知,基斯卡最后独自生活了12年。故选A。

Passage 1
(24-25九年级上·贵州黔东南州·期中)
Asking for directions is the first thing we do when we arrive in a new place or even when we are just trying to find a place. Knowing how to ask for them can make our life much easier!
Use greetings (问候语) and polite expressions. Starting the conversation with a greeting is necessary. If you want to get a nice answer, begin by saying “hello” first. And some words like “may”, “can” and “could” will help you express yourself better.
Build your words. You should know the basic (基本的) words when asking for directions. It may be useful to remember some famous places. Then try to use the right words when asking for a direction.

Passage 3
(23-24九年级上·贵州贵阳市多区联考·期中)
On June 9th, 1870, Charles Dickens died at the age of 58. The next day, a headline in The New York Times read: “Death of the Great Novelist…Will Be Remembered by the People…”
The headline was not overstating (夸大) the popularity of Dickens. Even today, the British novelist is loved by readers all over the world. Dickens created some unforgettable characters. You must have heard of or even read some of his novels: Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol and A Tale of Two Cities. A Tale of Two Cities has sold more than 200 million copies. Since 1897, there have been more than 300 films and TV adaptations of Dickens’ works. A Christmas Carol alone has had nearly 50.
Natalie Mcknight is a literature professor who studies Dickens and his works. She explains why the novelist has remained so popular. One important reason, she says, is that Dickens wrote from his heart. He tried hard to produce emotional effects (情感效果) among his readers. In his works, he paid special attention to the “little man” at the bottom of society in the UK, which deeply mirrored the social reality at that time. A Christmas Carol, for example, was written to make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society. People always enjoy works that make them laugh, cry and think. Many other 19th century novelists wrote entertaining works. However, few of them worked as hard as Dickens to touch the readers deeply.
Dickens wrote about situations and emotions that still interest people today. He used his pen to fight social inequality and gave voice to the poor. His works led to many important social changes. Readers always enjoy seeing poor people rise and succeed.
This year marks the 150th year of Dickens’ death. It’s another chance to remember this great writer. Will you read or reread some of his famous works?
1.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The personality of Dickens.
B.The appearance of Dickens.
C.The popularity of Dickens.
2.As a novelist, why has Dickens remained so popular?
A.He wrote for fun.
B.He wrote from his heart.
C.He mainly wrote for the upper class.
3.What does the underlined word “inequality” mean in Paragraph 4?
A.不平等 B.不现实 C.不稳定
4.The writer’s purpose of writing this text is probably to ________.
A.introduce Charles Dickens’ life and death
B.encourage readers to read or reread Charles Dickens’ works
C.present the similarities between Charles Dickens and other writers
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.A 4.B
【导语】本文讲述的是狄更斯受欢迎的原因以及作品的现实意义,鼓励人们阅读或重新阅读狄更斯的著名作品。
1.主旨大意题。根据第二段“The headline was not overstating (夸大) the popularity of Dickens. ”以及本段中列举了一些狄更斯的代表作并指出《双城记》销量惊人,他的作品被改编成电影和电视剧超过300个版本。由此可知第二段主要讲的是狄更斯的受欢迎程度。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段“One important reason, she says, is that Dickens wrote from his heart.”可知,狄更斯如此受欢迎的原因是他的写作是发自内心的。故选B。

Have you ever unlocked (开锁) a Hello Bike? Have you ever used Eleme to order a meal? Have you ever enjoyed watching the short videos on Douyin? Well, if no one had invented the cell phone, none of these would have been possible.
Luckily, someone did invent the cell phone. That person is Martin Cooper. Cooper used to work for Motorola. The company (公司) was competing with AT&T. Cooper didn’t think Motorola’s product was good enough. He didn’t like AT&T’s idea of a car phone, either. He wanted to give the world something new and make people talk on their phones anywhere.
After that, it took Cooper and his team 90 days to design (设计) the world’s first cell phone, DynaTAC. People could talk on it for 25 minutes before its battery died. The phone’s short battery life wasn’t a big problem, Cooper once joked. Why? Well, the phone was too heavy to hold in hand for more than 25 minutes! On April 3, 1973, Cooper made the world’s first cell phone call. He called the AT&T manager. On the other end of the line, there was only silence. Cooper made it! People could talk on their phones anywhere finally.
Cell phones are much smaller and can do much more things than before. Cooper, now 94, also was surprised at the great progress. So we should always keep learning in our life, or we’ll lose the ability to learn.
1.If you want to ride a Hello Bike, what do you need?
A.Nothing. B.A coin. C.A cell phone.
2.What was Cooper’s opinion according to Paragraph 2?
A.He had his own good idea.
B.He liked Motorola’s product.
C.He enjoyed AT&T’s car phone.
3.How old was Cooper when he invented the first cell phone?
A.94 years old. B.43 years old. C.50 years old.
4.What does the writer want to remind us?
A.Easier said than done.
B.It is never too old to learn.
C.Failure is the mother of success.
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.B 4.B
【导语】本文主要讲述了手机的发明以及发展。
1.细节理解题。根据“Have you ever unlocked (开锁) a Hello Bike? ... Well, if no one had invented the cell phone, none of these would have been possible.”可知,如果你想骑哈啰单车,你需要一部手机。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据“Cooper didn’t think Motorola’s product was good enough. He didn’t like AT&T’s idea of a car phone, either. He wanted to give the world something new and make people talk on their phones anywhere.”可知,他想给世界带来新的东西,让人们在任何地方都能用手机聊天,所以Cooper有自己的好主意。故选A。
3.推理判断题。根据“Cooper, now 94”可知,现在,Cooper的年龄是94,因此可知他生于1930年;根据“On April 3, 1973, Cooper made the world’s first cell phone call.”可知,1973年,他发明了第一部电话。因此推断出他发明第一部电话时是43岁。故选B。

It looked more like a fat bush than a tree. Later. I noticed that it was starting to die. The lower branches were becoming bare (光秃秃). Only the top of the tree was still green. I did my best to save it by feeding it a lot of fertilizer, but it didn’t work.
Later one morning, I went out and looked at it again. I was wondering whether it would be better to just cut it down. It would make the yard look cleaner. As I walked over to take a closer look at it, however, I noticed something moving within the leaves. It was a bird patiently building a nest in the topmost branches. I smiled when I looked at it. I thought maybe this old tree was still useful. It might not be healthy or pretty, but it was still giving a bird a home.
This tree reminded me that all of our lives are valuable. It doesn’t matter if we are young and strong or old and weak. Until our last breath, we have things to do, love to give, and joy to share. We can help to make this world a better and more beautiful place.

However, Ken Levin walked northwards from Bissell, and went out of the desert three days and a half later.

Ken Levin finally understood: the people of Bissell could not walk out because they didn’t know the Pole Star (北极星).

The village of Bissell was in the middle of the desert without a reference. So it was impossible to walk out without knowing the Pole Star or taking a compass.
When Ken Levin left Bissell, he took a young man named Guterl. He told him he could walk out of the desert as long as he walked in the direction of the Pole Star in the night.
Guterl followed Ken Levin’s advice and succeeded.

【导语】本文主要讲述了在Ken Levin的建议下,Bissell村的村民借助北极星走出沙漠的故事。
1.细节理解题。根据“He didn’t take his compass and followed with only a stick.”可知,Ken Levin没有带指南针,只拿了一根棍子跟在一位村民后面。故选B。
2.词句猜测题。根据“The village of Bissell was in the middle of the desert without a reference. So it was impossible to walk out without knowing the Pole Star or taking a compass.”可知,Bissell村位于沙漠中央,如果不认识北极星或不带指南针就不可能走出去,即“如果没有参照物就不可能走出去”。可以推断“reference”意为“参照物”。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据“He told him he could walk out of the desert as long as he walked in the direction of the Pole Star in the night.”和“Guterl followed Ken Levin’s advice and succeeded.”可知,Guterl听从了Ken Levin的建议,朝着北极星的方向走,成功走出了沙漠。故选B。

Passage 1
(24-25九年级上·贵州黔东州·期中)
Every English learner needs to know how to ask for something in English. There are a number of ways to do this. If you know someone has something, you can ask for it with a polite question. If you don’t know, it’s possible to ask for something with a yes or no question. Be careful not to use the direct expressions. In other words, don’t say “Give me that”, but ask kindly as the following examples, “Do you have a pen I could borrow?” “Is there any wine?” “Did you buy any bread?”
If you know or see someone has something, ask a polite question with “could” “may” or “might”. It’s also possible to use “can” in some special situations. In the past, “can” was not used when asking for something, but meant ability. In the UK, people mainly use “Can you lend me…?” or “Can I have…?” In the USA, this is still considered to be wrong and “May I have…?” is preferred.
It’s common to use “Could you lend/hand/give…?” Here are a lot you can use: “May/Can I borrow…?” “Could/Can you lend me…?” “May I have…?” “Could you hand/give me…?” Do not begin a sentence with “please”, but you can add “please” at the end of the sentence to be polite.
1.What can we ask if we know someone has something?
A.A direct question. B.A yes or no question. C.A polite question.

Passage 3
(24-25九年级上·贵州贵阳多区联考·期中)
“Dong” is one of China’s 55 ethnic minorities, with a population of less than three million, mainly living in South China. The ethnic group is well known for its traditional embroidery (刺绣), which has long been passed down from generation to generation (世代相传).
Qin Naishiqing is a master of Dong embroidery in Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County in the southern part of Guangxi. At the age of 91, she is still good at cutting paper patterns, which she says is the spirit of the handmade art. “You should be very skillful in embroidery to become good at paper cutting. When you get a piece of paper, you should form a picture of the patterns in your mind without actually drawing them,” Qin said.
Teaching embroidery is a family tradition, and Qin’s two daughters-in-law usually join her in teaching youngsters. Phoenixes (凤凰), dragons and flowers are common patterns featured in folk art, which are reproduced on embroidered products. Spider flowers, seen as a symbol of good wishes, are very important in Dong people’s embroidery patterns.
Every Dong girl is encouraged to learn the skill at an early age, around 9 or 10 years old. When she gets married, she will traditionally receive a whole set of clothes, including a wedding dress, made by her mother.
There are now thousands of women in the country taking up embroidery—an art form that has remained unchanged over the years. Qin hopes she can help make sure the tradition continues for future generations.

A.introduce the topic of the passage

Passage 1
(24-25九年级上·贵州·期中)
People across Canada and the world were sad on March 10, 2023. The killer whale (虎鲸) named Kiska died at Marineland (海洋公园) on this day.
Kiska was the only killer whale left at Marineland and the last one kept in captivity (圈养) in Canada after catching whales was stopped. So people call her the “Loneliest Whale in the World”. According to the workers, Kiska died “peacefully” at the age of 47. But the reason why she died is still unclear.
Animal right activists (动物权益保护者) say they’re sad and outraged over Kiska’s story. Killer whales in the wild live in close family groups with a need to be together, but the video of Kiska showed her swimming alone in her pool. She was caught in the Atlantic at about the age of three and kept at Marineland for more than 40 years, the last 12 years by herself.
Kiska was caught off Iceland along with Keiko that was finally returned to the wild. Activists were hoping Kiska would be the first whale set free into a new whale sanctuary (保护区) planned for the Nova Scotia coast. Although Kiska has gone, the activists are still hoping the sanctuary will become a home for the other white whales and dolphins at Marineland.
根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。
1.Why do people call Kiska the “Loneliest Whale in the World”?

A.angry B.moved C.excited
3.Kiska lived at Marineland by herself for ________.
A.12 years B.40 years C.47 years
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.People built a new sanctuary for whales
B.The loneliest whale in the world died at Marineland
C.Animal right activists tried to save animals in danger

Asking for directions is the first thing we do when we arrive in a new place or even when we are just trying to find a place. Knowing how to ask for them can make our life much easier!
Use greetings (问候语) and polite expressions. Starting the conversation with a greeting is necessary. If you want to get a nice answer, begin by saying “hello” first. And some words like “may”, “can” and “could” will help you express yourself better.
Build your words. You should know the basic (基本的) words when asking for directions. It may be useful to remember some famous places. Then try to use the right words when asking for a direction.

Don’t be afraid of using symbols. Every city in the world has its own symbols. You can decrease search time if you know what the most important symbols are in the city. Your place might be around the symbols.

Kindergartens(幼儿园)may teach you very important things you need to know. Dancy, a 5-year-old boy, saved his father’s life with the skills he learned.
The boy’s father became seriously ill on the way home from a father-son shopping. He couldn’t speak and could hardly move, but he tried hard to stop the car safely. At that point, Dancy used his father’s phone to call his mother for help. The 5-year-old boy tried his best to give her useful information and he was able to tell where they were. Just as he had learned in the kindergarten. Dancy read the letters he saw on a nearby store sign: “F, U, R, N, I, T, U, R, E. ” But that wasn’t enough for his mother to find them. Then he added that they were near a bridge. Finally, his mother understood he was talking about a store called Furniture 22 on New Jersey’s Route 22. The mother called 911 and the father was saved in time.
“He just thought his dad needed help, ” Dancy’s mother told the reporter. She also pointed out that her husband was a hero, too. “It is surprising for him to get off the highway(公路)and get himself and his child to safety even when he was so sick, ” she said.

On June 9th, 1870, Charles Dickens died at the age of 58. The next day, a headline in The New York Times read: “Death of the Great Novelist…Will Be Remembered by the People…”
The headline was not overstating (夸大) the popularity of Dickens. Even today, the British novelist is loved by readers all over the world. Dickens created some unforgettable characters. You must have heard of or even read some of his novels: Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol and A Tale of Two Cities. A Tale of Two Cities has sold more than 200 million copies. Since 1897, there have been more than 300 films and TV adaptations of Dickens’ works. A Christmas Carol alone has had nearly 50.
Natalie Mcknight is a literature professor who studies Dickens and his works. She explains why the novelist has remained so popular. One important reason, she says, is that Dickens wrote from his heart. He tried hard to produce emotional effects (情感效果) among his readers. In his works, he paid special attention to the “little man” at the bottom of society in the UK, which deeply mirrored the social reality at that time. A Christmas Carol, for example, was written to make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society. People always enjoy works that make them laugh, cry and think. Many other 19th century novelists wrote entertaining works. However, few of them worked as hard as Dickens to touch the readers deeply.
Dickens wrote about situations and emotions that still interest people today. He used his pen to fight social inequality and gave voice to the poor. His works led to many important social changes. Readers always enjoy seeing poor people rise and succeed.
This year marks the 150th year of Dickens’ death. It’s another chance to remember this great writer. Will you read or reread some of his famous works?
1.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The personality of Dickens.
B.The appearance of Dickens.
C.The popularity of Dickens.
2.As a novelist, why has Dickens remained so popular?
A.He wrote for fun.
B.He wrote from his heart.
C.He mainly wrote for the upper class.
3.What does the underlined word “inequality” mean in Paragraph 4?
A.不平等 B.不现实 C.不稳定
4.The writer’s purpose of writing this text is probably to ________.
A.introduce Charles Dickens’ life and death

C.present the similarities between Charles Dickens and other writers

Arsh Pal had a big dream when he started selling his artworks at the age of eight. He wanted to raise $1,000 for charities (慈善机构).
Now, five years later, Arsh has sold 500 paintings and brought in $15,000. Almost every dollar of this income (收入) has gone to charities.
When Arsh was a little boy, his parents introduced him to many activities. The boy, however, was interested in none of them. Things changed when he got a watercolor set for his eighth birthday. Arsh began to spend all his free time in front of an easel (画架). “That was how I started painting.” he said.
Soon, Arsh finished many paintings. They took up a lot of space in his room. The boy decided to give them away to his friends. Around the same time, Arsh visited a nursing home (养老院). The experience made him think about selling his artworks to help other people.
So he began his money raising project. He sells his paintings at local art shows, restaurants and libraries, as well as on the Internet. Small pieces have been sold for $10 each. Larger ones (about 150 cm tall and wide) have been sold for more than $800 each.
“How amazing Arsh is!” said Jolene Schaver, one of Arsh’s neighbors. “It’s hard to believe that this is being done by a child.” The woman has five of Arsh’s paintings hanging in her home.

Have you ever unlocked (开锁) a Hello Bike? Have you ever used Eleme to order a meal? Have you ever enjoyed watching the short videos on Douyin? Well, if no one had invented the cell phone, none of these would have been possible.
Luckily, someone did invent the cell phone. That person is Martin Cooper. Cooper used to work for Motorola. The company (公司) was competing with AT&T. Cooper didn’t think Motorola’s product was good enough. He didn’t like AT&T’s idea of a car phone, either. He wanted to give the world something new and make people talk on their phones anywhere.
After that, it took Cooper and his team 90 days to design (设计) the world’s first cell phone, DynaTAC. People could talk on it for 25 minutes before its battery died. The phone’s short battery life wasn’t a big problem, Cooper once joked. Why? Well, the phone was too heavy to hold in hand for more than 25 minutes! On April 3, 1973, Cooper made the world’s first cell phone call. He called the AT&T manager. On the other end of the line, there was only silence. Cooper made it! People could talk on their phones anywhere finally.
Cell phones are much smaller and can do much more things than before. Cooper, now 94, also was surprised at the great progress. So we should always keep learning in our life, or we’ll lose the ability to learn.
1.If you want to ride a Hello Bike, what do you need?
A.Nothing. B.A coin. C.A cell phone.
2.What was Cooper’s opinion according to Paragraph 2?
A.He had his own good idea.
B.He liked Motorola’s product.
C.He enjoyed AT&T’s car phone.
3.How old was Cooper when he invented the first cell phone?
A.94 years old. B.43 years old. C.50 years old.
4.What does the writer want to remind us?
A.Easier said than done.
B.It is never too old to learn.
C.Failure is the mother of success.

Ye Tingting, a student from Zhejiang University, has just had an unforgettable summer vacation.
Early in August 2023, she traveled all the way from Hangzhou with other 14 university students to a village school in Dali, Yunnan.
They were volunteers on a two-week summer camp for the village school’s students. They held many activities for the young leaners, including sports classes and storytelling competitions.
In fact, Ye had been looking forward to taking part in the summer camp for long. Growing up in a small town in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, she once had an experience at a charity event (慈善活动). At the event she received much help and care from a nice elder sister. Ye said, “The experience made a big difference to me. Accepting such goodwill (友善) but not passing it on would make me feel disappointed with myself. ”
Before Ye and the other volunteers arrived at the village school, they received much training to prepare for the camp. “In the past, I was too shy to speak up in front of others. But the training helped me to find my confidence,” said Ye.
The summer camp in Dali was part of the project, Boundless Girls, which tries to encourage more teenage girls to take part in sports. It was first started in 2019. Since then, around 160, 000 students from 700 primary schools across the country have benefited (得益) from the project.

Passage 2
(24-25九年级上·贵州黔南州长顺县·期中)
When my daughter was in primary school, she brought home four small branches from school to plant. None of them looked very hardy, but with hope for the future. I planted them somewhere in our backyard that had enough sunlight. Over the years, because of the poor soil, three of them died. Only one survived (幸存). It grow crooked (弯弯曲曲的) and very slowly. It looked more like a fat bush than a tree. Later. I noticed that it was starting to die. The lower branches were becoming bare (光秃秃). Only the top of the tree was still green. I did my best to save it by feeding it a lot of fertilizer, but it didn’t work.
Later one morning, I went out and looked at it again. I was wondering whether it would be better to just cut it down. It would make the yard look cleaner. As I walked over to take a closer look at it, however, I noticed something moving within the leaves. It was a bird patiently building a nest in the topmost branches. I smiled when I looked at it. I thought maybe this old tree was still useful. It might not be healthy or pretty, but it was still giving a bird a home.
This tree reminded me that all of our lives are valuable. It doesn’t matter if we are young and strong or old and weak. Until our last breath, we have things to do, love to give, and joy to share. We can help to make this world a better and more beautiful place.

Passage 3
(24-25九年级上·贵州贵阳第十九中学·期中)
Bissell is a village in West Sahara. Before Ken Levin discovered it, people here tried many times to walk out of the desert, but they didn’t. He asked everyone, but got the same answer: no matter (无论) which direction you walk towards, you will return to the starting point. However, Ken Levin walked northwards from Bissell, and went out of the desert three days and a half later.
Ken Levin wanted to know why, so he asked a villager to be his guide. He didn’t take his compass and followed with only a stick. They walked about 800 miles during 10 days. On the morning of the 11th day, they returned to Bissell.
Ken Levin finally understood: the people of Bissell could not walk out because they didn’t know the Pole Star (北极星). In the desert, if a man goes only by his feeling, he will walk in circles of all sizes and the final footprint will probably be a shape of tape. The village of Bissell was in the middle of the desert without a reference. So it was impossible to walk out without knowing the Pole Star or taking a compass.
When Ken Levin left Bissell, he took a young man named Guterl. He told him he could walk out of the desert as long as he walked in the direction of the Pole Star in the night.
Guterl followed Ken Levin’s advice and succeeded.
