专题04 阅读理解 说明文 主题01 人与社会——发明创造 Passage 1 (24-25九年级上·四川成都教科院附属学校·期中) The four great inventions of ancient China are the paper-making, printing, compass and gunpowder. They are said to contribute much to the development of China and the whole owrld. Paper-making During the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC—8 AD), paper was made in some places in China. And it was developed in the Eastern Han Dynasty around 104 A．D by Cai Lun. It was said that he used bark (树皮), rags (破布) and broken fishing nets as materials to make a new type of paper which was suitable for writing. After paper was invented, it replaced bamboo and silk as the main writing materials, making the spread of knowledge easier. Printing It was developed in 1041—1048 in the Song Dynasty. It’s said that it was fist used by a man named Bi Sheng. He carved characters on pieces of clay and wood. Then he put ink on them. After the characters were printed on paper, the pieces of clay or wood could be used again. This printing skill is named the movable-type printing. This technology then spread to Korea, Japan and Europe. It greatly increased the speed of information spreading and the availability of books. Compass It was a great gift to the world from ancient China. The earliest compass, Sinan, firstly appeared in the Warring States Period. Before it was invented, sailors had to depend on the stars to find direction on the sea. After it was invented, the oceans were open to travel. And many new discoveries were made with the help of it. Gunpowder Druing the Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, some Chinese people tried to make some medicine to help them live forever, which finally led to the invention of gunpowder. Then it also helped ancient people make fireworks. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, people began to use it in wars. The method of making it was brought to the Arab world and Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries. 1．Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage? A．Paper was firstly invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty. B．Cai Lun invented a new type of paper in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Let’s learn about it. ①________ Kites were once called zhiyuan in North China and yaozi in South China. The name fengzheng came into being during the Five Dynasties. According to a history book, Li Ye, who lived in the Five Dynasties, used to make and fly kites. He once tied a whistle (哨子) which was made of bamboo to the upper part of his kite so that a sound of “zheng” was made when he was flying the kite. The word for wind in Chinese is “feng”, so the word fengzheng came into being. ②________ How was the kite invented? There are so many different opinions that we don’t know which one is right. But it is widely believed that the earliest kite in the world was made by Mo Di, a famous Chinese philosopher (哲学家) who lived about 2,400 years ago. He spent three years making a bird with wood and successfully made it fly. The “bird” was later regarded as the first kite in the world. Later, he passed on his kite-making skills to Lu Ban. Lu Ban improved the skills of making kites. He made a kite out of bamboo and it could fly in the air for as long as three days. ③________ Kite-flying became a kind of recreation (娱乐活动) probably in the Tang Dynasty. At first, only the royal family (王室) and people of the highest class flew kites. Later, the paper-made kite was invented. Paper-made kites were cheaper to make and then they were spread quickly among the common people. ④________ As time went on, people in different countries began to fly kites. The well-known British scientist, Dr. Needham, once described the kite as an important invention that spread to Europe from China in his book. A foreign kite specialist (专家) said, “The invention of the kite led to humans’ dream to fly and the invention of the plane.” 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

Passage 3 (24-25九年级上·四川内江第六中学·期中) Technology is the first power! It is a great joy and a matter of pride to see China’s high technology is brightly shining from the sky to the ground. It is widely known that China has well-developed high speed railway network (铁路网) in the world. Now, the country is breaking its own speed record with the CR450. The CR450 can travel at a top speed of 453 kilometers an hour. Once put into use, it will take just about 2.5 hours to travel from Beijing to Shanghai, which takes at least 4.5 hours now. Even though it can travel so fast, it can also start braking (刹车) quickly, taking just 1.7 seconds and its noise level keeps low. It creates a safe and comfortable environment for passengers. With the advantages (优势), the CR450 shows China’s leading role and great power to the world. The AG60E is China’s self-developed lightweight two-seat electric plane. It is 6.9 meters long, 2.6 meters high and 8.6 meters wide. It is mainly designed for pilot training, flight experience and private travel. It uses an electric power system. Compared with the traditional plane, it doesn’t send out greenhouse gases (温室气体) and its noise level is much lower. The AG60E electric plane draws the world’s attention, for it is a practice of China’s aviation industry (航空工业) towards air pollution. The AG60E is only a starting point. It is expected to become an important force to achieve green and low-carbon development in the field (领域) of aviation. 1．How long will it take to travel from Beijing to Shanghai by CR450?

However, it is reported that mosquitoes haven’t been seen here for almost a century. Located in the mountains of China’s Fujian Province, the village has a long history. There are many special stone houses. But in recent years, the culture and buildings of this village have been overshadowed (使失色) by a mystery—the absence (缺乏) of mosquitoes. It’s unclear whether scientists ever carried out a survey to get to know this mystery. But most of the people in Ding Wuling believe it has something to do with the toad-shaped (蟾蜍形状的) stone. They believe that the “god toad” keeps the mosquitoes out of the village. Another popular explanation has to do with the locals’ habit of collecting rubbish and burying (埋) it on the hillside near the village. When Chinese newspaper People’s Daily first reported the mystery of this mosquito-free village, the locals hoped that experts could soon offer a certain answer to the mystery that put Ding Wuling on the tourist map. Unluckily, I haven’t been able to find newer information about Ding Wuling and its mosquito mystery, so it’s possible that the whole thing was made up to help develop tourism in the area. Then again, maybe there is something to that toad-shaped stone. Who knows? 1．What is the village known for? A．The fact that there are no mosquitoes in this village. B．The village’s special stone houses. C．The village’s location in the mountains. D．The good weather during the summertime. 2．What does the underlined word “it” refer to? A．The stone. B．The mosquito.

C．It is a popular folk story among the locals. D．It is a fact that needs further research. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The good habit of people in Ding Wuling B．A special village in China C．A good place to travel D．People’s findings in Ding Wuling Passage 2 (24-25九年级上·四川眉山仁寿县眉山天府新区·期中) Whether yellow, red or white, the onion is a vegetable that you may not know well. The lists of its uses in cooking is endless. People have used onions to add flavor (味道) to their foods for thousands of years. Besides onions’ great taste, they are very good for you. They have special chemicals (化学物质) that improve your ability to fight off sickness and you have fewer chances of getting a disease. No matter how good onions are for you, it is difficult to cut an onion without your eyes filling with tears! When you cut into an onion, irritating chemicals inside the onion will get into the air. They touch your whole eyes and cause pain. Your eyes make tears to wash away the chemicals and protect your eyes. Luckily, cooks and scientists have discovered some ways to keep you from crying when you cut up onions: • Cut the onion under running water. The water will wash away the chemicals before they can reach your eyes. • Use a fan to blow air over the onion as you cut it. The fan will blow the chemicals away from your eyes. • Put the onion in a fridge for an hour before cutting. This helps make the chemicals in the onion move slowly, so they may not ever reach your eyes. If you try out these good ideas and still cry while cutting onions, don’t worry. Scientists think if you cut more onions, your body will become more resilient (适应的) to the onion’s chemicals. So the tears will not last long. If you think about how healthy onions are, you might even call those tears “happy tears”. 1．Onions are good for your health because they ________. A．have great taste B．can be used in different ways C．have special chemicals. D．can treat diseases. 2．In which of the following sentences can the underlined word “irritating” be put?

But how much do you know about tea sets (茶具)? Do you know they have changed a lot over time? In general, tea sets become smaller and simpler after many changes throughout history. There are few records of tea sets before the Tang Dynasty (唐朝). In Cha Jing (The Classic of Tea), a great book written by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty, 28 kinds of tools used for making and drinking tea are included. The tea sets in the Song Dynasty were more gorgeous (华丽的). At that time, a competitive game about tea drinking enjoyed great popularity. The tea bottle (茶壶) used in the game often had a big belly, a long neck, and a mouth that was not straight. The mouth could help the players control the water better when filling a cup. Cups made of black glaze (黑釉) were especially loved by people then, since the color matched the tea better and the thickness of the cup helped keep the tea warm. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, tea sets became simple, and those made of gold and silver slowly disappeared. To test the color of the tea, white tea sets were more popular. In the Qing Dynasty, purple clay tea sets made in Yixing, Jiangsu began to flourish and were loved widely.

It’s perfect for working, watching videos, or even playing exciting games. It is smart, showing how far phone technology has come. It’s not just useful; it’s also really cool. bChina has shown the world’s first high-definition lunar atlas (高清月球图集). Since the old maps from half a century ago couldn’t support future research. Chinese expert began making new maps using information from China’s Chang’e Project and other studies. The new maps show the right locations of big findings on the moon like rocks. They’ll help scientists study the moon better and locate where the astronauts can land safely. cIn some cities in China, people can commonly see self-driving taxis. They are cars that can drive themselves without a human driver. They use cameras and sensors (传感器) to see the road and decide how to move safely. Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car won’t get distracted by other things, like the radio or something outside the window. These taxis strictly follow the rules of the road and lower the number of car accidents. d Farming in China has become smarter! Today’s farmers use their phones and satellites to see how their farms are doing farms. This helps them grow healthier plants and reduce waste. With technology on their side, farmers can check the weather, receive expert farming advice, and even view market prices for their crops. These can make farming more convenient. 1．Which of the following can best describe Huawei XT according to passage a? A．Big but convenient. B．Expensive but useful.

Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. Since August, 2022, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing, Shenzhen... Why do we develop self-driving cars? Self-driving cars give us many benefits (堵塞). They use computers to sense the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer traffic jams (堵塞) and better parking of cars. For disabled or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more easily. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year more than 135 million people are killed on roads around the world. Many more get hurt. Self-driving cars could reduce road accidents by 90 percent and save governments a lot of money. The main cause of car accidents is human error. By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose focus like humans do. But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react (反应) as fast as a human driver could. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars would be difficult to see the lines on the road. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system could also get hacked (非法入侵) by someone, causing it to crash or change its destination (目的地). It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight (景象) on roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen. 1．What is the benefit of self-driving cars? A．They allow disabled people to travel more freely. B．They don’t need parking lots. C．They cost less money to make and repair. D．They react faster than humans in bad weather. 2．The underlined word “error” is similar to ________. A．idea B．mind C．advice D．mistake 3．Why can self-driving cars help reduce road accidents? A．Because their computers know all road accidents ahead of time. B．Because their computers don’t “lose focus” like humans do. C．Because they can correct human mistakes while driving. D．Because there will be fewer traffic jams. 4．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．How road accidents usually happen. B．How the computers in self-driving cars work. C．The weaknesses of self-driving cars. D．The benefits of having a human driver. 5．What can we infer from the passage? A．China is trying to make self-driving cars safer and more common. B．Self-driving cars are already commonly seen in China. C．Self-driving cars often change their ways and bring lots of problems. D．Self-driving cars might cause accidents on sunny days. 主题02 人与社会——景点建筑 Passage 1 (24-25九年级上·四川巴中南江县实验中学·期中) Dubai is a city of big business, expensive hotels, skyscrapers (摩天楼), and shopping malls.

Finally, she went to the hospital. The doctor pushed an otoscope (检耳镜) into her ear, and within seconds, he pulled it out and looked at her in the eyes. “Have you been putting Q-tips in your ears?” he asked. Like so many others, my mother had been using Q-tips to clean her ears. And her use of Q-tips had caused an ear problem. Q-tips have long been seen as household basics. They are used for different kinds of beauty upkeep (美容保养), arts, home cleaning and baby care. Every box of Q-tips comes with a warning “Do not put this in your ear.” But many, if not most. have turned a blind eye to it. “People come in with Q-up-related ear problems all the time.” says Dennis Fitzgerald, a doctor in Washington, D．C． “People say they only use them to put on makeup (化妆品), but we know what else they’re using them for.” The Q-tip was invented in 1923 by a man named Leo Gerstenzang. He came up with the idea after watching his wife use a toothpick (牙签)—with a cotton ball on the end to carefully clean their young child. These early Q-tips were similar to those sold today except for a few key differences. They were single-sided rather than double-sided. They were for baby care, not everything under the sun. And they didn’t try to keep people from putting them in their ears. It wasn’t until the 1970s that Q-tip boxes began to warn against sticking these things inside of ears. Yet today, Q-tips are one of the most common causes of ear problems. “There’s really no way to stop it but take the product off the market,” says Fitzgerald, a doctor. “And that is, you know, impossible.” 1．Why does the writer talk about her mother’s experience at the beginning of the passage? A．To introduce the invention and history of Q-tips. B．To lead to. the topic about the dangers of Q-tips C．To help readers know the best use of Q-tips 2．Which of the following statements about Q-tips is right? A．The wrong use of Q-tips leads to many ear problems. B．The early Q-tips were used for babies only by doctors. C．People pay enough attention to the warning about Q-tips. 3．What do the early Q-tips look like? A． B． C． 4．What does Fitzgerald mean at the end of the passage? A．We never use Q-tips anymore. B．The government should stop the sale of Q-tips. C．It seems hard to avoid using Q-tips in people’s life. 5．In which column (栏目) can you read the passage in the newspaper? A．Heath Care B．New Inventions C．Art Work Passage 2 (24-25九年级上·四川射洪射洪城西学校·期中) In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century. A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2, 000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from the tree and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book. Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we kept on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2, 800 tons (吨) of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48, 000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper? So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs (手帕) and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later. Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late. 1．Marco Polo ________ when he was in China. A．discovered that Cai Lun invented paper B．learned to make paper C．saw many wonderful things D．read a lot of books 2．People in western countries first use paper money in the ________ century. A．17th B．15th C．13th D．7th 3．About ________ tons of paper are thrown away every day in our city. A．1,700 B．2,000 C．2,800 D．4,800 4．Which of the following is NOT a way of saving paper? A．To use both sides of every piece of paper. B．To use the paper bags from shops more than once. C．To use cotton handkerchiefs instead of paper ones. D．To grow more trees. 5．Which of the following is NOT TRUE? A．If we keep on wasting paper, we will have no paper to use. B．The Chinese people used paper money much earlier than western people. C．About 48,000 trees can be used to make 2,800 tons of paper. D．It’s never too late to plant new trees for paper. Passage 3 (24-25九年级上·四川成都教科院附属学校·期中) Do you know the word “migrate”? “Migrate” is usually used to talk about certain animals such as birds and fish. When animals migrate, they travel a long way from one part of the world to another according to the season. Many animals migrate—they do this often at the same time and to the same place each year. They move to places where conditions are better—where the weather is warmer, where there is more food and water, or where their young will be safer. People also migrate. When people migrate, they go to live in another area or country, especially in order to find work. In England, when people leave their home country in order to live in another country, we use the word “emigrate” instead of “migrate”. From “migrate” and “emigrate” come the words “migration” and “emigration”. However, if people move from their home country to another to live there evermore (永久地), the word changes from “emigrate” to “immigrate” in the English language. Then the word “immigration” is born. Isn’t word-making of the English language interesting? And can this process of finding out the relationships between words and learning them in a group or groups be a way for you to learn the language? 1．Which situation can match the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．Snakes move into holes to sleep in winter. B．Fish swim to clean waters because of pollution. C．Butterflies in North America fly south to stay away from the cold. 2．Which word can be used if people leave their home country to live in another forever? A．migrate B．immigrate C．emigrate 3．What does the writer probably do? A．An animal keeper. B．An immigration officer. C．A language learner. 4．Which of the following is the correct structure of the passage?（P=Paragraph） A． B． C． 5．Which can be the title of the passage? A．The migration of animals. B．The secret of learning English. C．The changes of English words. 主题04人与社会——中华文化 Passage 1 (24-25九年级上·四川成都石室双楠实验学校·期中) Xunpu has attracted wide attention online after several stars shared photos of themselves wearing a kind of local headwear called Zanhuawei (簪花围).

They are said to contribute much to the development of China and the whole owrld. Paper-making During the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC—8 AD), paper was made in some places in China. And it was developed in the Eastern Han Dynasty around 104 A．D by Cai Lun. It was said that he used bark (树皮), rags (破布) and broken fishing nets as materials to make a new type of paper which was suitable for writing. After paper was invented, it replaced bamboo and silk as the main writing materials, making the spread of knowledge easier. Printing It was developed in 1041—1048 in the Song Dynasty. It’s said that it was fist used by a man named Bi Sheng. He carved characters on pieces of clay and wood. Then he put ink on them. After the characters were printed on paper, the pieces of clay or wood could be used again. This printing skill is named the movable-type printing. This technology then spread to Korea, Japan and Europe. It greatly increased the speed of information spreading and the availability of books. Compass It was a great gift to the world from ancient China. The earliest compass, Sinan, firstly appeared in the Warring States Period. Before it was invented, sailors had to depend on the stars to find direction on the sea. After it was invented, the oceans were open to travel. And many new discoveries were made with the help of it. Gunpowder Druing the Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, some Chinese people tried to make some medicine to help them live forever, which finally led to the invention of gunpowder. Then it also helped ancient people make fireworks. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, people began to use it in wars. The method of making it was brought to the Arab world and Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries. 1．Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage? A．Paper was firstly invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty. B．Cai Lun invented a new type of paper in the Eastern Han Dynasty. C．Cai Lun used bark, rags and broken fishing nets and clay to make paper. 2．Who was the inventor of printing? A．Cai Lun B．Sinan C．Bi Sheng. 3．After the gunpowder was invented , it was used for ________. A．helping people live forever B．making fireworks C．finding direction 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Before paper was invented, it was easy to learn knowledge. B．Some books from Europe may be available in the Eastern Han Dynasty . C．After the Warring States Period, it was common to see a sailor have a compass. 5．Which part of a newspaper is the passage most probably from?

But do you know the history of kites? Let’s learn about it. ①________ Kites were once called zhiyuan in North China and yaozi in South China. The name fengzheng came into being during the Five Dynasties. According to a history book, Li Ye, who lived in the Five Dynasties, used to make and fly kites. He once tied a whistle (哨子) which was made of bamboo to the upper part of his kite so that a sound of “zheng” was made when he was flying the kite. The word for wind in Chinese is “feng”, so the word fengzheng came into being. ②________ How was the kite invented? There are so many different opinions that we don’t know which one is right. But it is widely believed that the earliest kite in the world was made by Mo Di, a famous Chinese philosopher (哲学家) who lived about 2,400 years ago. He spent three years making a bird with wood and successfully made it fly. The “bird” was later regarded as the first kite in the world. Later, he passed on his kite-making skills to Lu Ban. Lu Ban improved the skills of making kites. He made a kite out of bamboo and it could fly in the air for as long as three days. ③________ Kite-flying became a kind of recreation (娱乐活动) probably in the Tang Dynasty. At first, only the royal family (王室) and people of the highest class flew kites. Later, the paper-made kite was invented. Paper-made kites were cheaper to make and then they were spread quickly among the common people. ④________ As time went on, people in different countries began to fly kites.

However, it is reported that mosquitoes haven’t been seen here for almost a century. Located in the mountains of China’s Fujian Province, the village has a long history. There are many special stone houses. But in recent years, the culture and buildings of this village have been overshadowed (使失色) by a mystery—the absence (缺乏) of mosquitoes. It’s unclear whether scientists ever carried out a survey to get to know this mystery. But most of the people in Ding Wuling believe it has something to do with the toad-shaped (蟾蜍形状的) stone. They believe that the “god toad” keeps the mosquitoes out of the village. Another popular explanation has to do with the locals’ habit of collecting rubbish and burying (埋) it on the hillside near the village. When Chinese newspaper People’s Daily first reported the mystery of this mosquito-free village, the locals hoped that experts could soon offer a certain answer to the mystery that put Ding Wuling on the tourist map. Unluckily, I haven’t been able to find newer information about Ding Wuling and its mosquito mystery, so it’s possible that the whole thing was made up to help develop tourism in the area. Then again, maybe there is something to that toad-shaped stone. Who knows? 1．What is the village known for? A．The fact that there are no mosquitoes in this village. B．The village’s special stone houses. C．The village’s location in the mountains. D．The good weather during the summertime. 2．What does the underlined word “it” refer to? A．The stone. B．The mosquito. C．The rubbish. D．The village. 3．What is the writer’s opinion about the mosquito mystery of Ding Wuling? A．It has nothing to do with the toad-shaped stone. B．It is a made-up story to draw tourists. C．It is a popular folk story among the locals. D．It is a fact that needs further research. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The good habit of people in Ding Wuling B．A special village in China C．A good place to travel D．People’s findings in Ding Wuling 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了位于中国福建省的一个村庄——丁屋岭，该村庄特征明显，以没有蚊子闻名，并讨论了关于这一现象的各种解释及未解的原因。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“But in recent years, the culture and buildings of this village have been overshadowed (使失色) by a mystery—the absence (缺乏) of mosquitoes.”可知，近年来，这个村庄的文化和建筑因一个谜团而黯然失色——那就是没有蚊子，这是村子知名的原因。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据第四段“the locals’ habit of collecting rubbish and burying (埋) it on the hillside near the village.”可知，当地村民收集垃圾并将它埋在村子附近的山坡上，可知此处的“它”指垃圾。故选C。 3．观点态度题。根据最后一段“Unluckily, I haven’t been able to find newer information about Ding Wuling and its mosquito mystery”可知该村庄的无蚊原因至今没有揭开，故需更多的研究。故选D。 4．最佳标题题。结合全文可知，本文主要关于一个无蚊村庄的谜团。标题“中国一个特别的村庄”符合文意。故选B。 Passage 2 (24-25九年级上·四川眉山仁寿县眉山天府新区·期中) Whether yellow, red or white, the onion is a vegetable that you may not know well. The lists of its uses in cooking is endless. People have used onions to add flavor (味道) to their foods for thousands of years. Besides onions’ great taste, they are very good for you. They have special chemicals (化学物质) that improve your ability to fight off sickness and you have fewer chances of getting a disease. No matter how good onions are for you, it is difficult to cut an onion without your eyes filling with tears! When you cut into an onion, irritating chemicals inside the onion will get into the air. They touch your whole eyes and cause pain. Your eyes make tears to wash away the chemicals and protect your eyes. Luckily, cooks and scientists have discovered some ways to keep you from crying when you cut up onions: • Cut the onion under running water. The water will wash away the chemicals before they can reach your eyes. • Use a fan to blow air over the onion as you cut it. The fan will blow the chemicals away from your eyes. • Put the onion in a fridge for an hour before cutting. This helps make the chemicals in the onion move slowly, so they may not ever reach your eyes. If you try out these good ideas and still cry while cutting onions, don’t worry. Scientists think if you cut more onions, your body will become more resilient (适应的) to the onion’s chemicals. So the tears will not last long. If you think about how healthy onions are, you might even call those tears “happy tears”. 1．Onions are good for your health because they ________. A．have great taste B．can be used in different ways C．have special chemicals. D．can treat diseases. 2．In which of the following sentences can the underlined word “irritating” be put? A．This kind of medicine is safe. It has no ________ effect on the skin. B．This is one of the most ________ developments in biology in recent years. C．He was lying in a very ________ position to enjoy the sunshine. D．Lily took a ________ apple which tastes very delicious. 3．What can the tears do when we cut onions? A．Fight off sickness. B．Wash away the chemicals. C．Make you sad. D．Protect your eyes. 4．What can you do to stop crying when cutting onions? A．Wash the onion before cutting it. B．Blow air with a fan while cutting. C．Cut the onion in a fridge. D．Cut the onion with fresh water. 5．Why might you call those tears “happy tears”? A．Onions taste very good. B．Tears can protect your eyes. C．You become happy after crying. D．Onions are good for your health. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍洋葱的好处以及如何切洋葱时不流眼泪。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Besides onions’ great taste, they are very good for you. They have special chemicals (化学物质) that improve your ability to fight off sickness and you have fewer chances of getting a disease.”可知，洋葱对你的健康有好处，因为它们含有特殊的化学物质。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“When you cut into an onion, irritating chemicals inside the onion will get into the air. They touch your whole eyes and cause pain.”可知，切洋葱时，洋葱内的刺激性化学物质会进入空气中，它们会触碰到你的整个眼睛，引起疼痛，所以划线部分的含义是“有刺激性的”，所以A项“这种药是安全的。它对皮肤没有刺激作用。”符合。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Your eyes make tears to wash away the chemicals and protect your eyes.”可知，当我们切洋葱时，眼泪能够洗掉化学物质。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“Use a fan to blow air over the onion as you cut it.”可知，切洋葱时，用风扇吹空气可以使你不流眼泪。故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据最后一段“If you think about how healthy onions are, you might even call those tears ‘happy tears’”可知，称这些眼泪为“幸福的眼泪”的原因是洋葱对你的健康有好处。故选D。 主题03 人与社会——中华文化 Passage 1 (24-25九年级上·四川成都第十二中学（四川大学附属中学）·期中) Tea is no stranger to us Chinese people at all. But how much do you know about tea sets (茶具)? Do you know they have changed a lot over time? In general, tea sets become smaller and simpler after many changes throughout history. There are few records of tea sets before the Tang Dynasty (唐朝). In Cha Jing (The Classic of Tea), a great book written by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty, 28 kinds of tools used for making and drinking tea are included. The tea sets in the Song Dynasty were more gorgeous (华丽的). At that time, a competitive game about tea drinking enjoyed great popularity. The tea bottle (茶壶) used in the game often had a big belly, a long neck, and a mouth that was not straight. The mouth could help the players control the water better when filling a cup. Cups made of black glaze (黑釉) were especially loved by people then, since the color matched the tea better and the thickness of the cup helped keep the tea warm. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, tea sets became simple, and those made of gold and silver slowly disappeared. To test the color of the tea, white tea sets were more popular. In the Qing Dynasty, purple clay tea sets made in Yixing, Jiangsu began to flourish and were loved widely. It’s said that tea made with Yixing purple clay tea sets still tastes good after being kept in the teapot for one night even in hot summer. 1．How does the writer start the passage?

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year more than 135 million people are killed on roads around the world. Many more get hurt. Self-driving cars could reduce road accidents by 90 percent and save governments a lot of money. The main cause of car accidents is human error. By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose focus like humans do. But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react (反应) as fast as a human driver could. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars would be difficult to see the lines on the road. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system could also get hacked (非法入侵) by someone, causing it to crash or change its destination (目的地). It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight (景象) on roads.

Our kids must know we worked very, very hard to get where we are now,”可知，我们的孩子必须知道，我们付出了非常非常多的努力才走到今天，必须永远记住我们来自哪里；据此可以推断，划线句子是指不要忘记我们的过去和历史，与选项C意思一致。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。综合全文可知，本文通篇都在描述迪拜的快速发展：从历史小港到因石油而改变，再到如今成为以商业和旅游为主的国际大都市，高楼快速建成、人口国际化，以及人们对城市发展的不同态度 (多数人欢迎，部分本土居民担忧变化速度)，均是迪拜快速发展的体现；选项B与原文事实矛盾；而选项C和D都只是快速发展的具体表现之一，过于片面，不能概括全文主旨；因此，能全面概括迪拜发展特点的选项是A。故选A。 Passage 2 (24-25九年级上·四川眉山东坡区齐通中学共同体·期中) Huangguoshu Waterfall, Guizhou Located in southwest Anshun, Guizhou Province, Huangguoshu Waterfall is the largest and most wonderful group of waterfalls in China.

The pain was unbearable, and it wouldn’t go away. Finally, she went to the hospital. The doctor pushed an otoscope (检耳镜) into her ear, and within seconds, he pulled it out and looked at her in the eyes. “Have you been putting Q-tips in your ears?” he asked. Like so many others, my mother had been using Q-tips to clean her ears. And her use of Q-tips had caused an ear problem. Q-tips have long been seen as household basics. They are used for different kinds of beauty upkeep (美容保养), arts, home cleaning and baby care. Every box of Q-tips comes with a warning “Do not put this in your ear.” But many, if not most. have turned a blind eye to it. “People come in with Q-up-related ear problems all the time.” says Dennis Fitzgerald, a doctor in Washington, D．C． “People say they only use them to put on makeup (化妆品), but we know what else they’re using them for.” The Q-tip was invented in 1923 by a man named Leo Gerstenzang. He came up with the idea after watching his wife use a toothpick (牙签)—with a cotton ball on the end to carefully clean their young child. These early Q-tips were similar to those sold today except for a few key differences. They were single-sided rather than double-sided. They were for baby care, not everything under the sun. And they didn’t try to keep people from putting them in their ears. It wasn’t until the 1970s that Q-tip boxes began to warn against sticking these things inside of ears. Yet today, Q-tips are one of the most common causes of ear problems. “There’s really no way to stop it but take the product off the market,” says Fitzgerald, a doctor. “And that is, you know, impossible.” 1．Why does the writer talk about her mother’s experience at the beginning of the passage? A．To introduce the invention and history of Q-tips. B．To lead to. the topic about the dangers of Q-tips C．To help readers know the best use of Q-tips 2．Which of the following statements about Q-tips is right? A．The wrong use of Q-tips leads to many ear problems. B．The early Q-tips were used for babies only by doctors. C．People pay enough attention to the warning about Q-tips. 3．What do the early Q-tips look like? A． B． C． 4．What does Fitzgerald mean at the end of the passage? A．We never use Q-tips anymore. B．The government should stop the sale of Q-tips. C．It seems hard to avoid using Q-tips in people’s life. 5．In which column (栏目) can you read the passage in the newspaper? A．Heath Care B．New Inventions C．Art Work 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了棉签在耳朵清洁中的广泛滥用，最终导致了常见的耳朵问题。 1．推理判断题。根据“Like so many others, my mother had been using Q-tips to clean her ears. And her use of Q-tips had caused an ear problem.”可知和许多其他人一样，我妈妈一直在用棉签清洁耳朵，她使用棉签导致了耳朵问题，所以作者提到妈妈的经历是为了引出关于棉签危险的话题。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“And her use of Q-tips had caused an ear problem.”和“‘Do not put this in your ear.” But many, if not most. have turned a blind eye to it.””可知棉签盒子上警告不要把它放在耳朵里，但是很多人不注意，仍然使用棉签清洁耳朵，这导致了耳朵问题，所以棉签的错误使用会造成很多耳朵问题。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“These early Q-tips were similar to those sold today, except for a few key differences. They were single-sided rather than double-sided.”可知这些早期的棉签是单头的，选项B符合。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“‘There’s really no way to stop it but take the product off the market,’ says Fitzgerald, a doctor. ‘And that is, you know, impossible.’”可知不可能把棉签从市场除去，即很难避免使用棉签。故选C。 5．推理判断题。本文主要介绍了棉签在耳朵清洁中的广泛滥用，由此导致了常见的耳朵问题，故文章可能出现在报纸的“医疗保健”部分。故选A。 Passage 2 (24-25九年级上·四川射洪射洪城西学校·期中) In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century. A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2, 000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from the tree and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book. Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we kept on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2, 800 tons (吨) of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48, 000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper? So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs (手帕) and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later. Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late. 1．Marco Polo ________ when he was in China. A．discovered that Cai Lun invented paper B．learned to make paper C．saw many wonderful things D．read a lot of books 2．People in western countries first use paper money in the ________ century. A．17th B．15th C．13th D．7th 3．About ________ tons of paper are thrown away every day in our city. A．1,700 B．2,000 C．2,800 D．4,800 4．Which of the following is NOT a way of saving paper? A．To use both sides of every piece of paper. B．To use the paper bags from shops more than once. C．To use cotton handkerchiefs instead of paper ones. D．To grow more trees. 5．Which of the following is NOT TRUE? A．If we keep on wasting paper, we will have no paper to use. B．The Chinese people used paper money much earlier than western people. C．About 48,000 trees can be used to make 2,800 tons of paper. D．It’s never too late to plant new trees for paper. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了纸的由来，以及告诉我们不要浪费纸张。 1．细节理解题。根据“During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things”可知，马可·波罗在中国看到了许多奇妙的事情。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century.”可知，西方人15世纪才使用纸。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city.”可知，在城市每天会扔掉2800吨纸。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“We can use both sides of every piece of paper”和“We can also use cotton handkerchiefs and not paper ones.”和“If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later”可知，选项A，B，C正确。故选D。 5．细节理解题。根据“we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper”可知，为了造纸种植新树，已经太晚了。故选D。 Passage 3 (24-25九年级上·四川成都教科院附属学校·期中) Do you know the word “migrate”? “Migrate” is usually used to talk about certain animals such as birds and fish. When animals migrate, they travel a long way from one part of the world to another according to the season. Many animals migrate—they do this often at the same time and to the same place each year. They move to places where conditions are better—where the weather is warmer, where there is more food and water, or where their young will be safer. People also migrate. When people migrate, they go to live in another area or country, especially in order to find work. In England, when people leave their home country in order to live in another country, we use the word “emigrate” instead of “migrate”. From “migrate” and “emigrate” come the words “migration” and “emigration”. However, if people move from their home country to another to live there evermore (永久地), the word changes from “emigrate” to “immigrate” in the English language. Then the word “immigration” is born. Isn’t word-making of the English language interesting? And can this process of finding out the relationships between words and learning them in a group or groups be a way for you to learn the language? 1．Which situation can match the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．Snakes move into holes to sleep in winter. B．Fish swim to clean waters because of pollution. C．Butterflies in North America fly south to stay away from the cold. 2．Which word can be used if people leave their home country to live in another forever? A．migrate B．immigrate C．emigrate 3．What does the writer probably do? A．An animal keeper. B．An immigration officer. C．A language learner. 4．Which of the following is the correct structure of the passage?（P=Paragraph） A． B． C． 5．Which can be the title of the passage? A．The migration of animals. B．The secret of learning English. C．The changes of English words. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．A 【导语】本文由动物迁徙引出了英语的构词，告诉我们找出单词之间的关系并在一个或多个小组中学习它们也可以是学习语言的一种方式。 1．推理判断题。根据文中“When animals migrate, they travel a long way from one part of the world to another according to the season. Many animals migrate…or where their young will be safer.”可知，本段讲述的是动物随季节变化而迁徙，选项C北美洲的蝴蝶向南飞是为了远离寒冷，与本段的主要意思匹配。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文中“However, if people move from their home country to another to live there evermore (永久地), the word changes from ‘emigrate’ to ‘immigrate’ in the English language. Then the word ‘immigration’ is born.”可知，如果人们离开自己的祖国永远生活在另一个国家，可以使用单词“Immigrate”。故选B。 3． 推理判断题。本文由动物迁徙引出了英语的造词，告诉我们找出单词之间的关系并在一个或多个小组中学习它们也可以是学习语言的一种方式，由此推断作者是一个语言学习者，故选C。 4． 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段通过提问引入话题；第二、三段介绍emigrate和immigrate两个词在英语中的不同用法；第四段归纳通过学习词汇之间的关系来学习英语是否是一种有效的方法。故文章的篇章结构应是如A图所示。故选A。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了动物的迁徙，通过动物的迁徙，探讨了通过学习词汇之间的关系来学习英语是否是一种有效的方法。选项A 动物的迁徙，符合文章大意。故选A。 主题04人与社会——中华文化 Passage 1 (24-25九年级上·四川成都石室双楠实验学校·期中) Xunpu has attracted wide attention online after several stars shared photos of themselves wearing a kind of local headwear called Zanhuawei (簪花围).
