When his classmates at primary school watched cartoons, he watched weather reports. In high school, he read lots of books about weather and also studied meteorology (气象学). In college, Liu opened a photo shop with his friend because they loved photography. However, their business was bad in 2019. So they had to close the shop and return home. When Liu stayed at home, a storm hit his hometown. Unexpectedly, some photos Liu took during that storm caught many people’s attention, so he started his job as a storm photographer from then on. In 2020, Liu went to Inner Mongolia to take photos of storms. His first trip wasn’t successful. On his second trip, he took an amazing photo. The photo showed how clouds gave rise to a tornado (龙卷风). “How excited I was! While taking the photo, I couldn’t control myself and kept shouting excitedly,” he says, adding that the picture has become famous online. A storm may be beautiful when nature shows its power (力量).

Passage 2 (24-25九年级上·四川资阳雁江区保和中学·期中) This is a tale of two friends—one is blind, the other has no arms. On their own, the two are “disabled”. But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China’s Hebei Province into a rich, green forest. Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi! Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee. Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season. When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a. m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and with Wenqi’s direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area. Though hard-working, the men don’t make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.” Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need—a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world! 1．Why did Haixia and Wenqi start working together?

Though she never told stories, her stories were in the way she ate—she savored (品味) her food, valued it. Often she would be the first to sit at the dinner table, and the last to leave. Food had been really scarce (缺乏的) when she grew up. Her stories were in the way she handed me lucky money. From a young age, my grandmother was brought up to understand the importance of hard work and the necessary of saving. Every Chinese New Year, I would be handed, or sent, a small red envelope that contained money, but never more than twenty dollars. When I was young, I didn’t understand why my grandmother gave me such a small amount of money. As I grew older, I realized that she wasn’t teaching me about money, but about tradition and hard work and family. The money was insignificant. I would probably spend it on any toy that I would lose soon after; it was the meaning behind her gift that mattered. It was her saying, “I love you; I am your family and I want you to work hard as your family has before you.” My grandmother’s stories were lessons. But they were never told in words. From the time that I was very young, up until she could barely remember my name, I remember her calling me “good girl”. Those two little words, in the course of my growing up, were a constant reminder that I was still so young, with still so far to go. Now my grandmother is gone, but I see her every day. I see her in the women around me and in the mirror. She lives with me, inside me, and in the legacies (遗产) that I will create. And I know she would be proud. 1．Why did the Author’s grandmother spent so much time eating at the table? A．Because she had no teeth. B．Because she had nothing to do.

Passage 2 (24-25九年级上·四川宜宾叙州区观音学校·期中) An old man went to live with his son, his daughter-in-law, and a four-year-old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was very poor, and he couldn’t walk steadily (平稳地). The family ate together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Rice often dropped on the floor. The son and the daughter-in-law became angry with the old man, so they put a small table in the corner. There, the grandfather ate alone, while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the table. Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. The four-year-old son watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with a piece of wood on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” The boy answered, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old son smiled and went back to work. The words struck the parents so that they were in silence. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks (脸颊). Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.

Next, we went to a room with real dinosaur bones (恐龙骨头). They were huge, and I couldn’t believe that animals that big ever existed (存在). We learned how they lived and looked for food. It was cool! Then, we entered a room with old handcrafts (手工艺品). There were bowls, musical instruments, and even a pyramid (金字塔)! I couldn’t believe they were made so long ago—without modern machines. It was amazing to see how people used to live back then. Lastly, we visited a room with real live insects and animals. There were butterflies flying all around and even a big spider!

In fact, the wish to help others can always be found among common people. On September 5, 2022, when an earthquake hit Luding, Sichuan, 28-year-old hydropower station (水电站) worker Gan Yu chose not to leave but stay at his workplace, saving villages downstream (下游的) from being flooded (被淹没). People think he is a hero like Lei Feng, but he doesn’t feel that he should be compared to the young hero. “Lei Feng is a role model to all Chinese young people. The things he did may seem small, but behind them was a nobility (高贵的品质) that we can all achieve,” he said. Zeng Qiangfei, 24, is also from Sichuan. In 2013, when an earthquake happened in his hometown, he was studying in a middle school. Zeng remembered seeing rescuers (救援者) and volunteers gather there to help. When he grew up, he became a volunteer himself. After a terrible quake hit Turkey and Syria this year, he flew there to help. During the rescue, he always saw local people bowing quietly to rescuers like them. “I grew up listening to Lei Feng’s stories. He is an excellent young man who tried his best to help others,” said Zeng. This view is shared by a 56-year-old British man named James Elroy Edginton, who lives in Hunan, the hometown of Lei Feng. Working at a local college, Edginton volunteers to help students from poor families, and is warmly regarded as a “foreign Lei Feng”. “I am honored to be connected with the spirit of Lei Feng. His qualities are timeless and borderless,” he said. 1．Which of the following words can best describe Gan Yu? A．Responsible (负责任的). B．Smart. C．Patient. D．Careful. 2．Why did Zeng Qiangfei become a volunteer when he grew up? A．Because he wanted local people to thank him. B．Because he was quite moved by Gan Yu’s story.

D．In Turkey. 4．How does the writer support his idea? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving examples. C．By making surveys. D．By asking questions. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The ways of helping others B．The spirit of Lei Feng never dies C．The stories of young heroes D．Chinese volunteers are everywhere Passage 2 (24-25九年级上·四川眉山东坡区齐通中学共同体·期中) I’m a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year. In the society where my peers (同龄人) and I live, we tend to accept the rat race values. As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have consistently received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great accomplishment (成就). Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their constant arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then. My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks’ home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school’s community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, assist them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, glory days and the hardships they experienced. Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it, after all. 1．What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph?

It is helping build the Tanzania-Zambia Railway (坦赞铁路). The railway is a symbol of the China-Africa friendship. His grandson, Li Shangyi is following in his footsteps and doing his part for the China-Africa friendship. To build Tanzania-Zambia Railway, Li Yongzeng and 100 other workers left China for Tanzania in December 1970. Building the Tanzania-Zambia Railway was not an easy thing. It needed to cross mountains, valleys (山谷), rivers and forests in both Tanzania and Zambia. In many areas, there were no people but there were many wild animals. The workers often worked as they moved along the railway line. They could only live and eat outside. The Tanzania-Zambia Railway is 1,860 kilometers long. It has 320 bridges, 22 tunnels (隧道) and 147 stations along the line. It took five years to completo the rallway. China sent over 50,000 workers in total. The railway is now considered a monument to the brotherhood between China and Africa. In 2015, Li Shangyi went to work in Tanzania. During his time there he learned how important China’s help is for T’anznnin and Zambin. In July 2017, Li Shangyi’s company planned to help 10,000 African villages have satellite TVs (卫星电视). And he personally needed to help 500 villages to get satellite TVs in Malawi. Malawi is one of the least developed countries in the world. By the end of 2019, there were digiml TVs and other devices in 500 villages in Malawi. Li Yongzeng and Li Shangyi served our country in different times.

But carpets can also be fine works of art. Just look at the picture on the right. Hundreds of carp (鲤鱼) are swimming around a nest of baby birds. Doesn’t it look beautiful? It is in fact a silk carpet—a handwoven (手工编织的) one from the Jinshan Silk Carpet Factory in Shanghai. Cheng Meihua, now in her early seventies, is the director (厂长) of the factory. Her love for silk carpets started about half a century ago, when she was 20 years old. As soon as she saw these carpets, she couldn’t move her eyes from them. “These carpets are so beautiful! I want to learn the traditional craft (工艺) of making them,” she said. Cheng turned out to be a talented silk weaver. Her very first piece of work was perfect. From then on, many more beautiful silk carpets came from her hands. Some of them are now in museums. But fully mastering this craft is no walk in the park. A world-class silk carpet can have thousands of colors. After all these years of hard work, Cheng can hardly close her left hand. Over the years, the factory has trained more than 1,000 skilled silk weavers. Their handmade carpets come in all shapes and sizes. Some, like “Hope”, have very creative designs (设计). In the factory’s showroom, there are several beautiful silk carpets. “You know, behind all this beauty are blood, sweat and tears (汗水和泪水),” Cheng said. “I’ve spent my life perfecting the craft.

Passage 2 (24-25九年级上·四川攀枝花东区外国语学校·期中) In ancient times, copper coins meant wealth. Linking (连接) the copper coins one by one had the good meaning of collecting wealth. With coins, people can knit them into different shapes, from armor (盔甲) and swords (剑) to animals and plants. As a traditional skill in China, copper coin knitting was listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2018. Every day at 9 am, Zhang Canjin, 58, comes to the Drum Tower Street in Ningbo and walks into a small house of less than 10 square meters. Sitting at his desk, the inheritor (继承人) of copper coin knitting (铜钱编织) starts his day. “Knitting the coins into different shapes doesn’t sound difficult, but the key is to be creative and think big,” Zhang said. So, since he started his own copper coin knitting store in 2014, he has tried very hard to think big. Zhang added, “As I keep on making different works, I have more creative ideas in my mind,” Zhang said. To try something challenging, Zhang spent two months making armor with more than 8,000 coins in 2017. It got great public attention and even got Zhang a national patent for design (设计专利). This also gave him more confidence. Now, he tries to continue getting more creative ideas and hopes the art form will reach more people. “I think we Chinese people should pass on our own treasure and tradition,” Zhang said. The house of Zhang stands there in the middle of the crowded Drum Tower Street, and inside Zhang is knitting his love for heritage into a beautiful dream. 1．According to Zhang Canjin, what is more important for copper coin knitting? A．Being wealthy. B．Being patient. C．Being confident and imaginative. D．Being creative and thinking big. 2．What is Paragraph 4 in Zhang’s story about? A．Zhang’s achievement. B．Zhang’s future plan. C．Changes Zhang made. D．Challenges Zhang faced. 3．What does Zhang think about copper coin knitting? A．It is an easy skill to master. B．It is a great cultural treasure to pass on. C．It makes his life wealthy. D．It is a dying art and needs more inheritors. 4．What can you learn from the passage? A．It was easy for Zhang to finish the armor with more than 8,000 coins. B．The art form will catch the attention of more young people with Zhang’s work. C．People who have a beautiful dream should be like Zhang Canjin.

On their own, the two are “disabled”. But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China’s Hebei Province into a rich, green forest. Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi! Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee. Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season. When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a. m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and with Wenqi’s direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area. Though hard-working, the men don’t make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.” Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need—a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world! 1．Why did Haixia and Wenqi start working together?

Often she would be the first to sit at the dinner table, and the last to leave. Food had been really scarce (缺乏的) when she grew up. Her stories were in the way she handed me lucky money. From a young age, my grandmother was brought up to understand the importance of hard work and the necessary of saving. Every Chinese New Year, I would be handed, or sent, a small red envelope that contained money, but never more than twenty dollars. When I was young, I didn’t understand why my grandmother gave me such a small amount of money. As I grew older, I realized that she wasn’t teaching me about money, but about tradition and hard work and family. The money was insignificant. I would probably spend it on any toy that I would lose soon after; it was the meaning behind her gift that mattered. It was her saying, “I love you; I am your family and I want you to work hard as your family has before you.” My grandmother’s stories were lessons. But they were never told in words. From the time that I was very young, up until she could barely remember my name, I remember her calling me “good girl”. Those two little words, in the course of my growing up, were a constant reminder that I was still so young, with still so far to go. Now my grandmother is gone, but I see her every day. I see her in the women around me and in the mirror. She lives with me, inside me, and in the legacies (遗产) that I will create. And I know she would be proud. 1．Why did the Author’s grandmother spent so much time eating at the table? A．Because she had no teeth. B．Because she had nothing to do. C．Because she was preparing to clear the table. D．Because she really wanted to enjoy the food. 2．What did the author learn from the way her grandmother gave her lucky money? A．Her grandmother didn’t have much money. B．Her grandmother preferred boys to girls. C．It was a shame to accept others’ money. D．It was important for her to work hard. 3．What did the author realize hearing her grandmother call her “good girl”? A．She was really a good girl. B．She needed to continually improve herself. C．She should be proud of her manners and behaviors. D．She was always a good girl in her grandmother’s eyes. 4．What can we know about the author’s grandmother after reading the passage?

D．She was a mean (吝啬的) woman with old-fashioned values. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者对其祖母的深深怀念与敬仰。文章通过回忆祖母的日常生活习惯、给予压岁钱的方式以及对作者的鼓励和教导，展现了祖母的智慧、勤劳、节俭以及对家族传统的重视。 1．细节理解题。根据“Though she never told stories, her stories were in the way she ate—she savored (品味) her food, valued it.”可知，作者的祖母在餐桌上花很多时间是因为她真的很想享受食物。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“As I grew older, I realized that she wasn’t teaching me about money, but about tradition and hard work and family.

The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was very poor, and he couldn’t walk steadily (平稳地). The family ate together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Rice often dropped on the floor. The son and the daughter-in-law became angry with the old man, so they put a small table in the corner. There, the grandfather ate alone, while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the table. Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. The four-year-old son watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with a piece of wood on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” The boy answered, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old son smiled and went back to work. The words struck the parents so that they were in silence. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks (脸颊). Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took grandfather’s hand and gently led him back to the family table. 1．Why was the old man’s food served in a wooden bowl? A．Because the wooden bowl was light enough.

D．The young boy always knows what his grandfather and his parents needed. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了一位老人身体不便被儿子夫妇二人安排用木碗单独就餐，小孙子看到后也为自己的父母制作木碗，这个举动触动了夫妇二人，最终让老人重回餐桌的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl”可知，给老人用木碗的原因是他打碎了一些碗。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“The words struck the parents so that they were in silence. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks(脸颊).”可知，此处表示小男孩的话震惊到了他们，因此他们沉默并流泪了，所以划线单词struck表示“震惊的”，shocked“震惊的”。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“The words struck the parents so that they were in silence.Then tears started to stream down their cheeks(脸颊)…That evening the husband took grandfather’s hand and gently led him back to the family table.”可知，儿子的话触动了父母的心，他们意识到了自己的错误，把老人请回了餐桌。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知正是小孙子制作木碗的事情让夫妻俩明白了孝敬老人的道理，故木碗是本文最重要的线索。因此选项C“一个木碗”最适合。故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，孩子会学习和模仿父母的行为，因此父母是自己孩子的第一位也是最好的老师和榜样。故选B。 Passage 3 (24-25九年级上·四川自贡第三十四中学校·期中) When Hill was small, he was a famous bad boy.

It was amazing to see how people used to live back then. Lastly, we visited a room with real live insects and animals. There were butterflies flying all around and even a big spider!

On September 5, 2022, when an earthquake hit Luding, Sichuan, 28-year-old hydropower station (水电站) worker Gan Yu chose not to leave but stay at his workplace, saving villages downstream (下游的) from being flooded (被淹没). People think he is a hero like Lei Feng, but he doesn’t feel that he should be compared to the young hero. “Lei Feng is a role model to all Chinese young people. The things he did may seem small, but behind them was a nobility (高贵的品质) that we can all achieve,” he said. Zeng Qiangfei, 24, is also from Sichuan. In 2013, when an earthquake happened in his hometown, he was studying in a middle school. Zeng remembered seeing rescuers (救援者) and volunteers gather there to help. When he grew up, he became a volunteer himself. After a terrible quake hit Turkey and Syria this year, he flew there to help. During the rescue, he always saw local people bowing quietly to rescuers like them. “I grew up listening to Lei Feng’s stories. He is an excellent young man who tried his best to help others,” said Zeng. This view is shared by a 56-year-old British man named James Elroy Edginton, who lives in Hunan, the hometown of Lei Feng. Working at a local college, Edginton volunteers to help students from poor families, and is warmly regarded as a “foreign Lei Feng”. “I am honored to be connected with the spirit of Lei Feng.

Thick, soft things on the floor, right? But carpets can also be fine works of art. Just look at the picture on the right. Hundreds of carp (鲤鱼) are swimming around a nest of baby birds. Doesn’t it look beautiful? It is in fact a silk carpet—a handwoven (手工编织的) one from the Jinshan Silk Carpet Factory in Shanghai. Cheng Meihua, now in her early seventies, is the director (厂长) of the factory. Her love for silk carpets started about half a century ago, when she was 20 years old. As soon as she saw these carpets, she couldn’t move her eyes from them. “These carpets are so beautiful! I want to learn the traditional craft (工艺) of making them,” she said.

Over the years, the factory has trained more than 1,000 skilled silk weavers. Their handmade carpets come in all shapes and sizes. Some, like “Hope”, have very creative designs (设计). In the factory’s showroom, there are several beautiful silk carpets. “You know, behind all this beauty are blood, sweat and tears (汗水和泪水),” Cheng said. “I’ve spent my life perfecting the craft.

Linking (连接) the copper coins one by one had the good meaning of collecting wealth. With coins, people can knit them into different shapes, from armor (盔甲) and swords (剑) to animals and plants. As a traditional skill in China, copper coin knitting was listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2018. Every day at 9 am, Zhang Canjin, 58, comes to the Drum Tower Street in Ningbo and walks into a small house of less than 10 square meters. Sitting at his desk, the inheritor (继承人) of copper coin knitting (铜钱编织) starts his day. “Knitting the coins into different shapes doesn’t sound difficult, but the key is to be creative and think big,” Zhang said. So, since he started his own copper coin knitting store in 2014, he has tried very hard to think big. Zhang added, “As I keep on making different works, I have more creative ideas in my mind,” Zhang said. To try something challenging, Zhang spent two months making armor with more than 8,000 coins in 2017. It got great public attention and even got Zhang a national patent for design (设计专利). This also gave him more confidence. Now, he tries to continue getting more creative ideas and hopes the art form will reach more people. “I think we Chinese people should pass on our own treasure and tradition,” Zhang said. The house of Zhang stands there in the middle of the crowded Drum Tower Street, and inside Zhang is knitting his love for heritage into a beautiful dream. 1．According to Zhang Canjin, what is more important for copper coin knitting? A．Being wealthy. B．Being patient. C．Being confident and imaginative. D．Being creative and thinking big. 2．What is Paragraph 4 in Zhang’s story about? A．Zhang’s achievement. B．Zhang’s future plan. C．Changes Zhang made. D．Challenges Zhang faced. 3．What does Zhang think about copper coin knitting? A．It is an easy skill to master. B．It is a great cultural treasure to pass on. C．It makes his life wealthy. D．It is a dying art and needs more inheritors. 4．What can you learn from the passage? A．It was easy for Zhang to finish the armor with more than 8,000 coins. B．The art form will catch the attention of more young people with Zhang’s work. C．People who have a beautiful dream should be like Zhang Canjin. D．If someone linked the copper coins one by one, he or she must be confident. 5．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Think Big B．Crowded Drum Tower Street C．Wealthy Link to Heritage D．Great Public Attention for making armor 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了非物质文化遗产铜钱编织的重要性以及他的继承人张灿金的关于铜钱编织的观点和成就。 1．细节理解题。根据文中“Knitting the coins into different shapes doesn’t sound difficult, but the key is to be creative and think big”可知，张灿金认为铜钱编织最重要的是富有创造力和志向远大。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据文中“So, since he started his own copper coin knitting store in 2014, he has tried very hard to think big.”及“As I keep on making different works, I have more creative ideas in my mind”可知，本段主要介绍了张灿金的成就。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据文中“I think we Chinese people should pass on our own treasure and tradition”可知，张灿金认为铜钱编织是一种需要传承的伟大的文化宝藏。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据文中“Now, he tries to continue getting more creative ideas and hopes the art form will reach more people.”可知，这种艺术形式将会吸引更多的年轻人的关注。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了铜钱编织这一传统技艺以及继承人张灿金为传承这一技艺所做的努力。选项C“财富与遗产的联系”符合题意。故选C。 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
