专题03 阅读理解-记叙文 主题01 人与自我—个人经历与感受 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·山东烟台招远市·期中） As I walked to the market this morning, I saw an old man sitting in front of a tea shop. He was not looking at anyone, but sat there just watching the traffic. His clothes were a little dirty and his hair was long and untidy. I decided he was a beggar (乞丐). I thought to myself that on my way back from the market, I should give him all my change. A few meters away was a young man lying on the side of the road. No one who passed by took any notice. I thought it was some good-for-nothing drunk who had wasted all his money on alcohol (酒). I walked into the market, finished all my shopping and walked back along the same road. When I reached the point where I saw the beggar, I held out my hand full of change towards him, asking him to take it. He hardly looked at me and shook his head as if to say that he didn’t need it. I insisted and pushed it into his hand. As I stood there gloating over (沾沾自喜) my good act, the beggar slowly got up and walked over to the young man. He shook him awake, asking him something close to his ear. The young man shook his head. I watched the beggar walk to the tea shop, stand at the door, ask for a loaf (一条) of bread and a cup of hot tea, and pay for them with the money I had given him. He went back to the young man, helped him sit up, fed him some bread and gave him some tea. Then he came back to his old place and sat down. I was still standing there. The beggar noticed this and said to me, “That young man has not eaten for two days and has no energy even to sit up. That’s why he is lying on the road.” Suddenly, I felt so small and admired the beggar’s non-judgmental generosity (无偏见的慷慨). 1．The writer decided that the old man was a beggar from __________. ①his look ②what he bought ③where he sat ④his clothes A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．①②③④ 2．What’s the Chinese meaning of the word “change”? A．支票 B．零钱 C．关心 D．善良 3．Why did the author (作者) walk back along the same road? A．He was going to give the young man some food. B．He wanted to buy the old man a cup of tea. C．He was not familiar (熟悉) with other roads. D．He planned to carry out his promise. 4．What can we infer (推测) from the last three paragraphs? A．The beggar was in fact not short of money. B．The beggar wanted to teach the author a lesson. C．The beggar and the author became good friends. D．The beggar accepted the money in order to help others. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲了作者在路上看到一个衣衫褴褛的老人和一个他认为是酒鬼的年轻人，后来他给了老人一些零钱，老人却帮助饿了两天的年轻人的事情，这使作者明白了什么才是无偏见的慷慨。 1．细节理解题。根据“He was not looking at anyone, but sat there just watching the traffic. His clothes were a little dirty and his hair was long and untidy. I decided he was a beggar (乞丐).”可知作者根据那位老人的外貌、待的地方和衣服判断老人是乞丐。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“I held out my hand full of change towards him, asking him to take it”及“I watched the beggar walk to the tea shop, stand at the door, ask for a loaf (一条) of bread and a cup of hot tea, and pay for them with the money I had given him.”可推知“change”意为“零钱”。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“I thought to myself that on my way back from the market, I should give him all my change.”及“When I reached the point where I saw the beggar, I held out my hand full of change towards him, asking him to take it.”可推知作者走回到那条同样的街道是为了履行他要给老人钱的诺言。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“He hardly looked at me and shook his head as if to say that he didn’t need it. I insisted and pushed it into his hand.”可知老人起初不要作者给的钱，根据“I watched the beggar walk to the tea shop, stand at the door, ask for a loaf (一条) of bread and a cup of hot tea, and pay for them with the money I had given him. He went back to the young man, helped him sit up, fed him some bread and gave him some tea.”可知老人拿着作者给的钱给那个年轻人买了食物和饮料，由此可推知乞丐接受作者的钱是为了帮助他人。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·山东济南槐荫区·期中） Diana graduated from a world-famous university and she wanted to do translation work.

The sport is beginner-friendly. But it also keeps a rich level of competitive play. However, it’s difficult for blind people to experience the joy of this sport. Phoebe Peng, an engineering student in Australia, invented a new system to help the blind play ping-pong using sound.

As the cameras tracked (追踪) the movement of the ball, a computer program changed that information into sound, which was played through the loudspeakers. The blind players could use the sound to know the ball’s location, and then they could return the ball fast and correctly. Peng showed her work on December 6 at the Acoustics 2023 Sydney. It was held from December 4 to December 8 at the International Convention Center Sydney. Although this system worked well, Peng said more study is needed before it can be ready for actual play.” A challenge is the matter of human perception (感知) of sound, said Peng. “What kind of sound should be used?

It was the first time that 15-year-old Zeng Qiangfei had experienced an earthquake. At that time, rescuers (救援者) from all over the country came to help. Zeng remembered seeing them working day and night searching for signs of life. He was grateful to the rescuers and saw them as his heroes. The experience has led the young boy to his future work—doing his best to help people in danger. And years later, Zeng is also a hero to many. In 2021, Zeng joined Ramunion, a Chinese rescue team, and received special training. In June 2022, Lushan County experienced another strong earthquake. Zeng returned to his home town quickly as a rescuer and pulled many people out of danger. Three months later, an earthquake hit Luding County in Sichuan. Zeng and his Ramunion teammates spent six days working in a village. But Zeng didn’t stop there. He also managed to help save lives half a world away. On February 6, 2023, big earthquakes hit some parts of Turkey. Several days later, Zeng and his teammates began an international rescue journey.

Wherever I went, there was always phone signal, and even WeChat pay. The scenery was also fantastic. It simply took my breath away when I cycled on the way. With thick forests, blue lakes and green hills, there was so much to see. The food was another thing that made my journey interesting. There were different kinds of food in China. I got to taste local food in every place I went. My favorite was the spicy food in Sichuan. No matter how much I ate, I never got sick of having different Chinese foods. There were so many different choices. In addition, cycling in China cost less than I thought. I could even save some money during the trip to support a local charity. The best part was about people. I met people from different ethnic minorities (少数民族) across China and I was even invited to attend a wedding by Tibetan girls. The wedding was amazing, full of dancing, laughter and fun. One time I met a group of Chinese men who were also travelling, but by motorcycle. They invited me to stay with them in the mountains. We cooked fish that we caught from the lake together. It felt like true freedom from the busy feeling of daily life. Another example was impressive. When I met a group of cyclists in their 60s, they cycled better than me. It really encouraged me to push myself and go farther every day. Also, an experienced cyclist helped me when I got a flat tire (爆胎). He offered to fix my tire. Cycling in China was a wonderful journey. I benefited a lot from it. It is an experience I will treasure forever.

Carolyn Bertozzi from the US lives such a cool life! Bertozzi won 2022 Nobel Prize in chemistry. She became the year’s only woman winner in science and the eighth woman to receive the chemistry prize in history. Bertozzi won the prize for studying the sugar coats of cells (细胞). She has found a smart way to connect cells by connecting their sugar coats. The cells then have a green color so that scientists can see clearly where they are and how they move. This finding helps a lot in many ways, such as developing better tests for infectious diseases (传染病) and new treatments for cancer. Bertozzi said she was not very interested in chemistry until her second year at Harvard University. “The professors made the class very difficult.” she said, “My classmates were unhappy, but it matched my brain.” Besides doing science studies, Bertozzi lived a colorful life. She was a keyboarder (键盘手) in a rock band. “I even used to think about majoring in music,” she said. She also played soccer and won an athletic scholarship (体育奖学金) from Harvard. As a female (女性) scientist, Bertozzi tries to promote gender equality (性别平等). “In the late 1980s, maybe 10 percent of the students were female. There were one or two women in a lab, so we supported each other by starting a monthly get-together for the women students in the department.” 1．Why did Bertozzi win 2022 Nobel Prize? A．Because she invented a new treatment for cancer. B．Because she is the eighth female professor at Stanford University. C．Because she found a way to connect cells and make them clearer to see. D．Because she found a new type of cell with a green color. 2．How might Bertozzi describe her chemistry class in her second year at Harvard University? A．Difficult. B．Uninteresting. C．Useless.

A woman in Indonesia’s Java island has come up with a great idea —lending books to children in exchange for trash. Raden Roro Hendarti, nearly 50 years old, is a librarian in Muntang village. She started a “trash library”, hoping to make children read more as well as make them realize the importance of environmental protection. Each weekday, Raden puts all kinds of books on the back of her three-wheeler (三轮车) and rides to Muntang village. There, children line up to exchange plastic cups, bags and other trash for books from Raden’s mobile library. After finishing the exchange, Raden carries back all the trash. In the library where Raden works, there are thousands of books. Every time she shows up, children run to her “trash library”. They all carry trash bags, and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills with trash as the books fly out. Raden collects about 100kg of trash each week. It is then sorted out (分类) and sent for recycling or sale. She is happy that children spend less time on online games because of the books. Raden plans to take the mobile library service to neighboring areas as well. She says, “We all should take care of our trash in order to fight climate (气候) change and save the earth.” 1．What does the underlined word “trash” mean? A．Plastic. B．Rubbish. C．Paper. D．Information. 2．Which of the following shows how Raden’s idea works? ①She rides to Muntang village. ②She carries back all the trash. ③Children line up to get books for their trash. ④She puts books on her three-wheeler. A．④①③② B．④①②③ C．①③②④ D．①②③④ 3．How much trash can Raden probably collect each month? A．About 100 kg. B．About 200 kg. C．About 300 kg. D．About 400 kg. 4．What’s Raden going to do next? A．To ask her neighbors for help. B．To give the mobile library to her neighbors. C．To exchange books for trash in more villages. D．To tell children to spend less time on online games. 5．What can we learn from the passage? A．Everyone should protect the environment. B．We must read more books. C．Everyone would have a three-wheeler. D．We can build our own library. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文讲述了Raden在村庄通过用书换垃圾，保护环境的事情。 1．词句猜测题。根据“...a big problem for our environment”可知，对于环境而言是一个大问题；结合所给选项，Rubbish“垃圾”对于环境而言是大问题，因此“trash”的含义为“垃圾”。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Each weekday, Raden puts all kinds of books on the back of her three-wheeler (三轮车) and rides to Muntang village.”可知，Raden首先把各类书放在三轮车上，即④，排除CD选项；再根据“There, children line up to exchange plastic cups, bags and other trash for books from Raden’s mobile library. After finishing the exchange, Raden carries back all the trash.”可知，孩子们排着队用收集的垃圾去换书，然后Raden将垃圾运回去，即③在②前面，排除B选项。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Raden collects about 100kg of trash each week.”可知，Raden每周收集大约100千克的垃圾，一个月大约是400千克。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“Raden plans to take the mobile library service to neighboring areas as well.”可知，Raden接下来将在更多村庄以书换垃圾。故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据“We all should take care of our trash in order to fight climate (气候) change and save the earth.”及Raden的所作所为可知，环境很重要，我们每个人都应保护环境。故选A。 主题05 人与自我——个人经历与感悟 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·山东济南槐荫区·期中） I don’t believe it! I’m still sitting here writing my paper. I’ve had two weeks to prepare and write it and I need to hand it in tomorrow. A month ago, I made a decision to never leave things to the last minute. Well, I’ve failed. I’ve also been trying to go running to get healthier with my classmates after school for four weeks. But I really feel it’s difficult to follow my plan now. Why is it so hard to break a bad habit and form a good one? I’ve just read an article and I’ve discovered that it isn’t my problem! In fact, it’s our brains. Our brains are programmed (设定) to make it difficult to break bad habits. The study shows when we do something the same way repeatedly, our brain notices. It’s just like, “Oh, writing a paper is hard. We still have time. We can relax for now? Got it!” If we always do things like that, we get “into the habit” of leaving things to the last minute. We may even get a reward (奖励) from this bad habit, at least at first. Our brain may say, “Ah, relaxation! I like this!” Slowly, it seems that we can’t stop doing the habit or control it. Maybe it’s because we don’t know how to get the rewards without doing it. But that’s not all. Scientists have also discovered that it takes ten weeks to form a good habit. That’s because ten weeks is the amount of time the brain needs to change and accept a new habit as part of everyday life. The good news is that once you make it to ten weeks, everything becomes a lot easier. The bad news is that ten weeks is a really long time, so you may give up your plan sooner. So there you are. Maybe we want to change our ways and become better people, but our brains won’t let us. Or is this just an excuse? Look—I have finished my paper on time! Anything is possible! By Ana 1．What is Ana? A．A school student. B．A college teacher. C．A running star. D．A brain scientist. 2．What problem does Ana have according to paragraph 1? A．She has failed to finish reading a book. B．She doesn’t dare to keep running alone. C．It’s hard for her to keep a good habit. D．The paper is too difficult for her to finish. 3．What can be a reason why it’s hard to break a bad habit? A．Our brains avoid doing things repeatedly. B．Our brains are not programmed to notice it. C．Our brains need to relax from time to time. D．Our brains enjoy getting the rewards from doing it. 4．How many more weeks will it take Ana to develop her habit of running? A．Four. B．Six. C．Eight. D．Ten. 5．What does Ana want to tell us at the end of the text? A．You’d better finish your paper on time. B．Don’t forget to make a plan first. C．It depends on you to control your habits. D．Keep on with the ways you are doing things. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者Ana在尝试改变坏习惯和形成好习惯时遇到的困难，并解释了这些困难背后的科学原因。 1．细节理解题。根据“I’ve also been trying to go running to get healthier with my classmates after school for four weeks.”可知，Ana提到自己在写论文并且和同学们一起跑步，说明她是一名学生。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据“But I really feel it’s difficult to follow my plan now. Why is it so hard to break a bad habit and form a good one?”可知，她很难保持一个好习惯。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“We may even get a reward (奖励) from this bad habit, at least at first. Our brain may say, ‘Ah, relaxation! I like this!’ Slowly, it seems that we can’t stop doing the habit or control it. Maybe it’s because we don’t know how to get the rewards without doing it.”可知，很难改掉坏习惯是因为我们的大脑喜欢放松，需要时不时放松。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“Scientists have also discovered that it takes ten weeks to form a good habit.”和“I’ve also been trying to go running to get healthier with my classmates after school for four weeks.”可知，Ana已经跑步四周，故还需要六周。故选B。 5．推理判断题。根据“So there you are. Maybe we want to change our ways and become better people, but our brains won’t let us. Or is this just an excuse? Look—I have finished my paper on time! Anything is possible!”可知，Ana以自己的真实经历想告诉我们控制习惯取决于我们自己。故选C。 Passage 2 （23-24九年级上·山东威海经开区·期中） A few years ago, a friend gave me a restaurant gift card, and I picked a sunny Sunday afternoon to use it. The meal was delicious, and my family and I were all excited. The gift card covered almost all of the check (账单). After dinner, I reached into my wallet to get enough cash to cover the rest. I saw two bills (钞票) inside my wallet. The first would just cover the rest of the check. The second would allow me to cover the check and give the waitress a nice tip. I planned to pick the first one. At that moment, my mind flashed back to 30 years ago. I was working as a busboy (餐厅勤杂工) in a restaurant. I had to work long hours of hard work for low pay at that time. I remembered seeing the waitresses worrying about how they were going to pay the rent. I remembered the pain in their eyes and the sadness on their faces at the end of each month. I blinked (眨眼睛) to hide my sadness and smiled at the waitress, pushing the smaller bill back down. Then I picked out the larger bill. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and happiness. We are family in this world. Do your best to be kind. Do your best to be a good person and replace suffering with joy. 1．Which word can best describe the writer’s life 30 years ago? A．Rich. B．Hard. C．Exciting. 2．What is the passage? A．A story.

He was not looking at anyone, but sat there just watching the traffic. His clothes were a little dirty and his hair was long and untidy. I decided he was a beggar (乞丐). I thought to myself that on my way back from the market, I should give him all my change. A few meters away was a young man lying on the side of the road. No one who passed by took any notice. I thought it was some good-for-nothing drunk who had wasted all his money on alcohol (酒). I walked into the market, finished all my shopping and walked back along the same road. When I reached the point where I saw the beggar, I held out my hand full of change towards him, asking him to take it. He hardly looked at me and shook his head as if to say that he didn’t need it. I insisted and pushed it into his hand. As I stood there gloating over (沾沾自喜) my good act, the beggar slowly got up and walked over to the young man. He shook him awake, asking him something close to his ear. The young man shook his head. I watched the beggar walk to the tea shop, stand at the door, ask for a loaf (一条) of bread and a cup of hot tea, and pay for them with the money I had given him. He went back to the young man, helped him sit up, fed him some bread and gave him some tea. Then he came back to his old place and sat down. I was still standing there. The beggar noticed this and said to me, “That young man has not eaten for two days and has no energy even to sit up. That’s why he is lying on the road.” Suddenly, I felt so small and admired the beggar’s non-judgmental generosity (无偏见的慷慨). 1．The writer decided that the old man was a beggar from __________. ①his look ②what he bought ③where he sat ④his clothes A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．①②③④ 2．What’s the Chinese meaning of the word “change”?

The sport is beginner-friendly. But it also keeps a rich level of competitive play. However, it’s difficult for blind people to experience the joy of this sport. Phoebe Peng, an engineering student in Australia, invented a new system to help the blind play ping-pong using sound. She installed (安装) cameras and loudspeakers on sides of a traditional ping-pong table. As the cameras tracked (追踪) the movement of the ball, a computer program changed that information into sound, which was played through the loudspeakers. The blind players could use the sound to know the ball’s location, and then they could return the ball fast and correctly. Peng showed her work on December 6 at the Acoustics 2023 Sydney. It was held from December 4 to December 8 at the International Convention Center Sydney. Although this system worked well, Peng said more study is needed before it can be ready for actual play.” A challenge is the matter of human perception (感知) of sound, said Peng. “What kind of sound should be used? Should the sound be continuous? These are problems we are facing now, but I am sure we can solve them in the near future.” 1．What can we know about Phoebe Peng? A．She studies engineering in Australia. B．She is blind but likes playing ping-pong. C．She works with the blind in school.

The bookstore had been in the neighborhood for 50 years, and it was a great place where people could know each other through their love of books. When I met Old Tim, the store’s owner, he said it was difficult to run a traditional bookstore. Most young people read e-books and more people bought books online. Childhood memories came back to me so clearly. A group of us kids used to go to the store, spending hours reading there or just talking with Tim. Tim encouraged us to share our ideas by writing them on a large board. A few months later, I was back and was surprised to see that the Bright Bookstore was still open for business. It was still old, but inside it was like a different world. In an area, a book reading was going on. Nearby, some readers were sharing their ideas on a screen instead of the large board. Some were reading on computers. It even had a coffee shop selling nice food. Clearly, the Bright Bookstore was in good, creative hands. Tim told me that there were more community (社区) events in the coffee shop such as book readings and even concerts and movie nights. “Well, as you can see, technology and creativity have brought my old bookstore into the 21st century! I’m so glad to see that everything I wanted to offer to the community is still here,” said Tim. No matter how times change, there are always people who love reading. With the development technology, traditional bookstores should also change in a creative way . 1．According to Old Tim, what was the main reason for the Bright Bookstore’s closing?

In this process, they help eat insects and keep the waterways clean. However, there is one problem. They have to wait at the Weerdsluis lock (水闸), which is usually closed at this time of year. After knowing that, local ecologist (生态学家) Mark van Heukelum decided to help the fish. He learned that the lock keeper didn’t know when there were fish waiting at the lock. Mark set up an underwater camera at the lock and connected it to a computer and an online doorbell. When someone sees fish waiting to pass, they press the doorbell and the lock keeper will open the lock to let the fish through. But Mark couldn’t keep watching the doorbell day and night. He reached out to the public to see how many people would like to lend a hand. He was surprised. In its first spring in 2021, the Fish Doorbell was run more than 100,000 times by people all around the world. This spring, people’s interest didn’t seem to wane (减弱). On the website, the number of visitors was always over 100 and could go as high as 500, depending on the time of day. Many hands make light work. Politely holding a door open for the friends of humans in the water is a feel-good act of kindness. Some people are thinking of ways to automate (使自动化) the doorbell.

We had to wash the dishes, make beds and learn to cook. I was sure she stayed awake at night, thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, things didn’t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did in order to miss school. My mother was the meanest mother. All of us went on to higher education. None of us have ever done bad things.

At the end, they were sweating (流汗), but they were also smiling. Then, they did some exercise. Mom asked Jason to close his eyes and imagine he was walking on a beautiful beach. After the relaxation, Jason felt very calm. His mom explained that it was important to take care of himself and not just study. She told him to eat healthy food and do relaxing exercise every day. “You’ll feel better and happier,” Mom said, “But, most importantly, always tell me when you’re feeling worried.” “Thanks, Mom.

Passage 1主题05人与自然——旅行 （24-25九年级上·山东烟台莱州市·期中） As a foreigner, I have lived in China for six years, but I still think the country is amazing. So I made up my mind to go on a 3-month cycling journey to discover more. My cycling journey was very safe in China because I never had a moment when I felt I was in danger. Wherever I went, there was always phone signal, and even WeChat pay. The scenery was also fantastic. It simply took my breath away when I cycled on the way. With thick forests, blue lakes and green hills, there was so much to see. The food was another thing that made my journey interesting. There were different kinds of food in China. I got to taste local food in every place I went. My favorite was the spicy food in Sichuan. No matter how much I ate, I never got sick of having different Chinese foods. There were so many different choices. In addition, cycling in China cost less than I thought. I could even save some money during the trip to support a local charity. The best part was about people. I met people from different ethnic minorities (少数民族) across China and I was even invited to attend a wedding by Tibetan girls. The wedding was amazing, full of dancing, laughter and fun. One time I met a group of Chinese men who were also travelling, but by motorcycle. They invited me to stay with them in the mountains. We cooked fish that we caught from the lake together. It felt like true freedom from the busy feeling of daily life. Another example was impressive. When I met a group of cyclists in their 60s, they cycled better than me. It really encouraged me to push myself and go farther every day. Also, an experienced cyclist helped me when I got a flat tire (爆胎). He offered to fix my tire. Cycling in China was a wonderful journey. I benefited a lot from it. It is an experience I will treasure forever. If anyone wants to explore in China, I would highly suggest going by bicycle. 1．What does the writer talk about in Paragraph 3? A．Personal safety. B．Different foods. C．Natural beauty.

Carolyn Bertozzi from the US lives such a cool life! Bertozzi won 2022 Nobel Prize in chemistry. She became the year’s only woman winner in science and the eighth woman to receive the chemistry prize in history. Bertozzi won the prize for studying the sugar coats of cells (细胞). She has found a smart way to connect cells by connecting their sugar coats. The cells then have a green color so that scientists can see clearly where they are and how they move. This finding helps a lot in many ways, such as developing better tests for infectious diseases (传染病) and new treatments for cancer. Bertozzi said she was not very interested in chemistry until her second year at Harvard University. “The professors made the class very difficult.” she said, “My classmates were unhappy, but it matched my brain.” Besides doing science studies, Bertozzi lived a colorful life. She was a keyboarder (键盘手) in a rock band. “I even used to think about majoring in music,” she said. She also played soccer and won an athletic scholarship (体育奖学金) from Harvard. As a female (女性) scientist, Bertozzi tries to promote gender equality (性别平等). “In the late 1980s, maybe 10 percent of the students were female. There were one or two women in a lab, so we supported each other by starting a monthly get-together for the women students in the department.” 1．Why did Bertozzi win 2022 Nobel Prize? A．Because she invented a new treatment for cancer. B．Because she is the eighth female professor at Stanford University. C．Because she found a way to connect cells and make them clearer to see.

Among the impressive (印象深刻的) performers were twin sisters, Wang Liuyi and Wang Qianyi. Born in 1997 and grew up in Shenzhen, the sisters took an interest in artistic swimming when they came to Shenzhen sports team in 2005, asking to learn artistic swimming. The twins almost didn’t make it to the team because of their parents’ heights. There is an unwritten rule in artistic swimming. If a sportswoman is less than 1.68 meters tall, she is unlikely to become a professional. The twins’ father is less than 1.7 meters tall, while their mother is a little taller than 1.6 meters, which means the daughters are unlikely to be tall enough. However, the twins’ strong will and strengths impressed Hu, coach (教练) of Shenzhen team. The twins went for training after school every day. At 20 years old, the twins grew to be 1.72 meters tall. They were among the tallest when joining the national artistic swimming team in 2017. Through years of hard training, they became key players and got a lot of medals. In 2010, the twins won the first gold medal at the provincial games. They also won a gold and a bronze (铜的) medal at the national games in 2013 and 2017.

Passage 2 （23-24九年级上·山东枣庄台儿庄·期中） Teacher’s kind and patient hand Thanksgiving Day was near. A first grade teacher gave her class a fun task-to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful. Most of the students didn’t come from rich families, but many would still celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional customs. These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of most of the students’ art. And they were, for the most part. But one student named Dougals drew a different kind of picture. Dougals was a different kind of boy. He was often sad. While other children would play with each other during break time, he would stand closely by his teacher’s side. There was pain (苦恼) behind his sad eyes. But what was it? One could only guess. Yes, his picture was different. He draw a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand. Other children started to guess whose hand it could be. One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkey. Another suggested a police officer, because police keep people safe. And so the discussion went on. Finally the teacher walked over to Douglas’s desk, bent down and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and said, “It’s yours. Teacher.” She recalled (回想起) the times when she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, and times when she’d said things like “Take my hand Douglas, we’ll go outside” or “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand. 1．The teacher started this task to _________.

I was home with my father and my brother when my mother was still at work. When Dad took us to bed, I ran up first to hide behind my bedroom door. Here was my plan: to jump out and scare my brother. My bedroom was just opposite the bathroom and he had to walk past it to get to his room. However, behind the door were two strange men hiding. One had long hair, and the other was thin and tall. The man with long hair spoke to me in a low voice, “Go away.” I calmly went away and slept with my dad. This wasn’t uncommon for me on the nights when my mother worked, so he didn’t question it. I was so afraid that I didn’t tell him what I saw. We got robbed (抢劫). When Mum came home the next morning, it was a mess downstairs. She ran upstairs immediately and found us all in bed safe and sound. Then she called the police, who arrived 10 minutes later. It was not until that moment that I was brave enough to tell everything.

The baby fell asleep. “Now,” I thought, “I can read a new book before my parents return for supper.” So I sat down to read by the light of the fire. I didn’t know how long I sat there, but suddenly I heard the sound of someone heavily walking in the room. I looked up from my book, and saw a bear standing in the open doorway.

A woman in Indonesia’s Java island has come up with a great idea —lending books to children in exchange for trash. Raden Roro Hendarti, nearly 50 years old, is a librarian in Muntang village. She started a “trash library”, hoping to make children read more as well as make them realize the importance of environmental protection. Each weekday, Raden puts all kinds of books on the back of her three-wheeler (三轮车) and rides to Muntang village. There, children line up to exchange plastic cups, bags and other trash for books from Raden’s mobile library. After finishing the exchange, Raden carries back all the trash. In the library where Raden works, there are thousands of books. Every time she shows up, children run to her “trash library”. They all carry trash bags, and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills with trash as the books fly out. Raden collects about 100kg of trash each week. It is then sorted out (分类) and sent for recycling or sale. She is happy that children spend less time on online games because of the books. Raden plans to take the mobile library service to neighboring areas as well. She says, “We all should take care of our trash in order to fight climate (气候) change and save the earth.” 1．What does the underlined word “trash” mean? A．Plastic. B．Rubbish. C．Paper.

D．To tell children to spend less time on online games. 5．What can we learn from the passage? A．Everyone should protect the environment. B．We must read more books. C．Everyone would have a three-wheeler. D．We can build our own library. 主题05 人与自我——个人经历与感悟 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·山东济南槐荫区·期中） I don’t believe it! I’m still sitting here writing my paper. I’ve had two weeks to prepare and write it and I need to hand it in tomorrow. A month ago, I made a decision to never leave things to the last minute. Well, I’ve failed. I’ve also been trying to go running to get healthier with my classmates after school for four weeks. But I really feel it’s difficult to follow my plan now. Why is it so hard to break a bad habit and form a good one? I’ve just read an article and I’ve discovered that it isn’t my problem! In fact, it’s our brains. Our brains are programmed (设定) to make it difficult to break bad habits. The study shows when we do something the same way repeatedly, our brain notices. It’s just like, “Oh, writing a paper is hard. We still have time. We can relax for now? Got it!” If we always do things like that, we get “into the habit” of leaving things to the last minute. We may even get a reward (奖励) from this bad habit, at least at first. Our brain may say, “Ah, relaxation! I like this!” Slowly, it seems that we can’t stop doing the habit or control it. Maybe it’s because we don’t know how to get the rewards without doing it. But that’s not all. Scientists have also discovered that it takes ten weeks to form a good habit. That’s because ten weeks is the amount of time the brain needs to change and accept a new habit as part of everyday life. The good news is that once you make it to ten weeks, everything becomes a lot easier. The bad news is that ten weeks is a really long time, so you may give up your plan sooner. So there you are. Maybe we want to change our ways and become better people, but our brains won’t let us. Or is this just an excuse? Look—I have finished my paper on time! Anything is possible! By Ana 1．What is Ana? A．A school student. B．A college teacher. C．A running star. D．A brain scientist. 2．What problem does Ana have according to paragraph 1? A．She has failed to finish reading a book. B．She doesn’t dare to keep running alone. C．It’s hard for her to keep a good habit. D．The paper is too difficult for her to finish. 3．What can be a reason why it’s hard to break a bad habit? A．Our brains avoid doing things repeatedly. B．Our brains are not programmed to notice it. C．Our brains need to relax from time to time. D．Our brains enjoy getting the rewards from doing it. 4．How many more weeks will it take Ana to develop her habit of running? A．Four. B．Six. C．Eight. D．Ten. 5．What does Ana want to tell us at the end of the text? A．You’d better finish your paper on time. B．Don’t forget to make a plan first. C．It depends on you to control your habits. D．Keep on with the ways you are doing things. Passage 2 （23-24九年级上·山东威海经开区·期中） A few years ago, a friend gave me a restaurant gift card, and I picked a sunny Sunday afternoon to use it. The meal was delicious, and my family and I were all excited. The gift card covered almost all of the check (账单). After dinner, I reached into my wallet to get enough cash to cover the rest. I saw two bills (钞票) inside my wallet. The first would just cover the rest of the check. The second would allow me to cover the check and give the waitress a nice tip. I planned to pick the first one. At that moment, my mind flashed back to 30 years ago. I was working as a busboy (餐厅勤杂工) in a restaurant. I had to work long hours of hard work for low pay at that time. I remembered seeing the waitresses worrying about how they were going to pay the rent. I remembered the pain in their eyes and the sadness on their faces at the end of each month. I blinked (眨眼睛) to hide my sadness and smiled at the waitress, pushing the smaller bill back down. Then I picked out the larger bill. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and happiness. We are family in this world. Do your best to be kind. Do your best to be a good person and replace suffering with joy. 1．Which word can best describe the writer’s life 30 years ago? A．Rich. B．Hard. C．Exciting. 2．What is the passage? A．A story.
