If you want to improve your reading in English, the following are just for you! Choose right reading materials (材料). There are textbooks and graded readers, but there are also a lot more books you can read. 2 (Here is a good rule to follow: choose reading materials where you understand at least 80% of the content (内容). Be intentional (意图明确的). When reading, you need to be intentional by setting a reading aim. Decide on a certain number of pages you want to read each day. 3 To make sure your daily practice gets done, spare some time and put it in your study plan! 4 Reading can both introduce you to new vocabulary (词汇) and teach you how to use them. Many words in English are often used together in a consistent (相互连贯的) way. Reading groups of words will help you better understand how to use your new vocabulary. Don’t try to understand everything. You need to accept the fact that you might not understand every single word, and that’s OK! Your brain can’t learn so many new things at one time. It’s more important to get the big picture of what you are reading. 45 A．Read word groups. B．Don’t choose a book that is too easy or too difficult. C．You could also be intentional with planning a time to read. D．But it’s something you’ll have to do on your language learning journey. E．And you can go back to check the new things you don’t understand later.

It’s easy for English-speakers to get discouraged when studying any foreign language, especially Chinese, since it’s so different from English. Take a deep breath. 1 Here are some tips to help you. ●Practice every day. Without daily practice, knowledge will flow out of your head like water through a basket. 97 ●Create an interest. Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it’s also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. 2 So if you find it boring to learn Chinese, try watching Chinese TV shows, listening to Chinese music and reading Chinese newspapers, magazines or novels. ● 3 Unless you are some sort of genius（天才）, you may not remember a word that you only see or use once or twice. So make sure to go back and review vocabulary and grammar structures that you’ve learned. You won’t realize how much you’ve forgotten until you look at them again. ●Don’t be afraid of speaking Chinese. You can never master one language well unless you are brave enough to speak it. Try speaking Chinese with Chinese speakers. 100 A．Chinese corners or salons are good places to practice your spoken Chinese B．Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something interesting C．Always review D．It actually isn’t that scary E．So 20 minutes every day is better than a five-hour marathon on Sundays Passage 3 （21-22九年级上·湖南省长沙市浏阳市·期中） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 There are a lot of websites offering advice about the best ways to learn languages. 1 However, language learning is something that will take you a lifetime. It’s impossible to learn a language in only a few weeks.     The thought of learning a language can be quite scary. Many people never try, as they listen to that voice in their heads that keeps telling them they can’t do it because it’s too much work. 2 When you achieve each one, you feel good and the fear goes away. Most language experts agree it’s better to learn new words and grammar by using topics that interest you. Reading long lists of words is not a good way of learning new vocabulary. 3 Reading those words in an interesting article, however, might not make you sleepy and is a much better way to remember them. Many people will tell you that you can only really learn a language when you’re young. 4 Instead, just keep on learning because there’s plenty of evidence（证据）to show that adults can become just as good though they learn in different ways from children.     Learning more about your own language can actually help you when it comes to trying a new language. As you see, if you want to learn to use anything well, you need to understand how it works, and languages are no different 5 And then use your knowledge of that language to help you develop skills in the new language. A．Most people also find it very boring. B．Don’t listen to them because it’s simply not true. C．Try to understand how your own language works. D．Some of them say you can learn a language in only a few weeks. E．That’s why it’s important to break your learning up into small, clear goals. 主题02 人与自我——文化与事物介绍 Passage 1 （23-24九年级上·湖南省怀化市·期中） “Expecting the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, who lives and works in Shenyang. “Until you open all the boxes, you can not know what it is inside. 1 .

Here are some kinds of attitudes (态度) that can stand in the way and some ideas on how to get past them. Some people believe that needing help is a sign of weakness. 2 You know what you need and you shouldn’t be afraid to reach out for it. Once a boy told me he wanted to ask his coach how to improve his basketball skills, but he was afraid that his coach thought he was practicing hard. 3 Everyone needs help now and then. Accepting help can strengthen friendships and relationships. Everyone feels good when they can support a friend. When you ask for help, choose someone who listens and cares, not someone who judges or criticizes (批评) you. If you get refused, it’s not because of you, but the other person. Another wrong attitude is waiting for someone else to make the first move. It’s not always easy for other people to see when you need help. Maybe you’re putting on a cheerful face to hide the problem. 4 You have to ask actively. Because it can be hard to reach out for help, don’t hesitate (犹豫) to offer support to another person if you think he or she needs it. Giving and receiving help are great life skills to learn. 5 .

Words like “thank you”, “please” and “sorry” can work wonders in our daily life. These polite expressions are used every day in American among strangers, between friends or with family. 151 1 What should you do when you receive a gift for your birthday? You’d better sit down and write a thank-you letter. We say them when someone hands us a letter, passes us a book, offers us a bottle of water, or lends us an umbrella. “please” is another important word but many people often forget to say it. It is not polite to ask someone for help without saying “please”. 2 It may be a book, a pen, or more milk. It may be in the classroom, at home, or at the bus stop. We can use “please” to make a request. 3 We should say sorry if we have hurt someone’s feeling. When we have told a lie and regret it, the same word should be used. Sometimes we have forgotten something or broken a promise, so we need to explain with the word as a beginning. “Sorry” is such a word that can make people forget wrongs. “Thank you! Please! Sorry!” these words are simple but useful. 155 A．The words “thank you” are very important and used very often. B．People with good manners always communicate with others well by using these magic words. C．Man said them long ago. We use them now. So will our kids.

However, people often don’t realize that children also have expectations for their parents. China Youth & Children Research Center did a survey in four countries. The survey found that 83.8% of Chinese children want to be friends with their parents—the greatest amount (数量) among the four countries. 1 Sophia Ren, 13, has her own thoughts about the subject. Ren is an ABC, or American-born Chinese. Although her family lives in California, they cannot avoid the influence of their Chinese background. “I feel like my friends are closer to their parents. 2 ” Ren said. “In Chinese families, you usually don’t do things like that.” According to China Youth Daily, traditional Chinese values are stopping parents from becoming friends with their children. 3 As children, what can you do to make home a happy place and make friends with your parents? Here are some tips. Manage yourselves like an adult. If you want your parents to give you more freedom, you should show them that you’re ready to be treated differently. For example, learn to use self-control. Show them that you can manage your time well. Open your heart to your parents. US psychologist (心理学家) Carl E. Pickhardt wrote in Psychology Today that sharing feelings with your parents can lead to positive changes, while not sharing them can cause misunderstandings.

Talk to your parents about the things they do that bother (烦扰) you. If your parents don’t know what’s bothering you, they can’t try to change themselves.

China has 904 million Internet users, according to the Statistical Report on Internet Development. 2 . It’s not easy for elderly people to get used to the new Mobile Internet world because of their poor learning and understanding ability. That’s why elderly people are sometimes called “digital refugees (数字难民).” For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, people are often asked to show a green health code (健康码) on their phone to get into public places. But most elderly people don’t use smartphones. Even if they have one, many don’t know how to get a code, People’s Daily noted. “We have made a lifelong contribution (贡献) to society, but now we fed left out by it,” a 75-year-old Beijinger Mr. Bai told the Global Times. 3 . However, not all of these younger people have the patience to teach the elderly. In addition, aging results in many physical problems, such as weak eyesight and bad memory. This makes it harder to use smartphones. The government and some Non-Government Organizations (NOG,非政府组织) in China are trying to help.

Chinese products have been going all over the world. Chinese food has been enjoyed in western countries for a long time. 2 . One example is the meat. Unlike Chinese, Australians don’t like to eat meat with the bone in, so Chinese restaurants there provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish. 3 . In many cities in Europe, stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers. And more than half of US-owned drones (无人机) are Chinese models, according to China, Daily. They are not only made in China, but also designed and developed in China. 4 . But now, things have changed greatly. More people trust Chinese brands (品牌). 5 .

As you see, if you want to learn to use anything well, you need to understand how it works, and languages are no different 5 And then use your knowledge of that language to help you develop skills in the new language.

Some people believe that needing help is a sign of weakness. 2 You know what you need and you shouldn’t be afraid to reach out for it. Once a boy told me he wanted to ask his coach how to improve his basketball skills, but he was afraid that his coach thought he was practicing hard. 3 Everyone needs help now and then. Accepting help can strengthen friendships and relationships. Everyone feels good when they can support a friend. When you ask for help, choose someone who listens and cares, not someone who judges or criticizes (批评) you. If you get refused, it’s not because of you, but the other person. Another wrong attitude is waiting for someone else to make the first move. It’s not always easy for other people to see when you need help. Maybe you’re putting on a cheerful face to hide the problem. 4 You have to ask actively. Because it can be hard to reach out for help, don’t hesitate (犹豫) to offer support to another person if you think he or she needs it. Giving and receiving help are great life skills to learn. 5 . A．They help us improve our abilities to understand other people. B．Actually, it’s a sign of strength, not weakness. C．Getting help sounds simple, but it’s not always easy to do. D．Don’t wait for someone to read your mind. E．Some other people think they don’t deserve (应该得到) help or support. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．E 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些可能阻碍人们寻求帮助的态度，以及如何克服这些态度的建议。生活中每个人都有需要寻求帮助的时候，但是有时候恰恰是我们自己阻碍了寻求帮助的道路。 1．根据上文“it’s natural to ask others for help.”和下文“Sometimes ways of thinking can make it hard to ask for help.”可知，此处是指寻求帮助不那么容易；选项C“寻求帮助听起来很简单，但做起来并不总是那么容易。”符合语境。故选C。 2．根据上文“Some people believe that needing help is a sign of weakness.”和下文“You know what you need and you shouldn’t be afraid to reach out for it.”可知，此处是强调需要帮助并非软弱的表现，而是力量、坚强决心的体现，因为你知道你需要什么，你不应该害怕去追求它；选项B“实际上，这是力量的表现，而不是弱点。”符合语境。故选B。 3．根据第二段“Some people believe that needing help is a sign of weakness.”和本段下文“Everyone needs help now and then.”可知，此处应提到其他人对于帮助的看法与评价；选项E“另一些人认为他们不值得帮助或支持。”符合语境。故选E。 4．根据上文“Maybe you’re putting on a cheerful face to hide the problem.”和下文“You have to ask actively.”可知，此处是指要积极主动，不要等待别人来理解你；选项D“不要等别人读懂你的心思。”符合语境。故选D。 5．根据上文“Giving and receiving help are great life skills to learn.”可知，此处是指给予和接受帮助的好处；选项A“它们帮助我们提高理解他人的能力。”符合语境。故选A。 Passage 3 （23-24九年级上·湖南省湘潭市岳塘区·期中） 从下面选取适当的句子补入短文，使其意思通顺。 What are magic words? Words like “thank you”, “please” and “sorry” can work wonders in our daily life. These polite expressions are used every day in American among strangers, between friends or with family. 151 1 What should you do when you receive a gift for your birthday? You’d better sit down and write a thank-you letter. We say them when someone hands us a letter, passes us a book, offers us a bottle of water, or lends us an umbrella. “please” is another important word but many people often forget to say it. It is not polite to ask someone for help without saying “please”. 2 It may be a book, a pen, or more milk. It may be in the classroom, at home, or at the bus stop. We can use “please” to make a request. 3 We should say sorry if we have hurt someone’s feeling. When we have told a lie and regret it, the same word should be used. Sometimes we have forgotten something or broken a promise, so we need to explain with the word as a beginning. “Sorry” is such a word that can make people forget wrongs. “Thank you! Please! Sorry!” these words are simple but useful. 155 A．The words “thank you” are very important and used very often. B．People with good manners always communicate with others well by using these magic words. C．Man said them long ago. We use them now. So will our kids. D．We are supposed to use it when we ask for something, too. E．We should also learn to say sorry. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．E 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了在和人交流时要多说“Thank you”“Please”和“Sorry”。 1．根据“These polite expressions are used every day in American among strangers, between friends or with family”可知这些礼貌用语在美国人中每天都在陌生人之间、朋友之间或家人之间使用，选项B“有礼貌的人总是通过使用这些神奇的词语与他人进行良好的沟通”符合语境。故选B。 2．根据“What should you do when you receive a gift for your birthday”可知本段介绍的是说“Thank you”的情况，选项A“‘谢谢’这个词非常重要，而且经常使用”符合语境。故选A。 3．根据“It is not polite to ask someone for help without saying ‘please’. ”可知这是说“请”的情况，选项D“当我们提出要求时，我们也应该使用它”符合语境。故选D。 4．根据“We should say sorry if we have hurt someone’s feeling”可知应该学会说对不起，选项E“我们也应该学会说对不起”符合语境。故选E。 5．根据“‘Thank you! Please! Sorry!’ these words are simple but useful.”可知这些词很简单，但是很重要，所以要经常说，选项C“人们以前说它们。我们现在使用它们。我们的孩子也一样”符合语境。故选C。 主题04 人与社会——中国传统文化 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·湖南省长沙市明德教育集团·期中） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选择可以填入空白处的最佳选项，每个选项仅使用一次。 There is a special club at Beijing New Oriental Yangzhou Foreign Language School, Jiangsu.

However, people often don’t realize that children also have expectations for their parents. China Youth & Children Research Center did a survey in four countries. The survey found that 83.8% of Chinese children want to be friends with their parents—the greatest amount (数量) among the four countries. 1 Sophia Ren, 13, has her own thoughts about the subject. Ren is an ABC, or American-born Chinese. Although her family lives in California, they cannot avoid the influence of their Chinese background. “I feel like my friends are closer to their parents. 2 ” Ren said. “In Chinese families, you usually don’t do things like that.” According to China Youth Daily, traditional Chinese values are stopping parents from becoming friends with their children. 3 As children, what can you do to make home a happy place and make friends with your parents? Here are some tips. Manage yourselves like an adult. If you want your parents to give you more freedom, you should show them that you’re ready to be treated differently. For example, learn to use self-control. Show them that you can manage your time well. Open your heart to your parents. US psychologist (心理学家) Carl E. Pickhardt wrote in Psychology Today that sharing feelings with your parents can lead to positive changes, while not sharing them can cause misunderstandings.

I think I had the dream I’ve always wanted,” Jang said. The video has been watched more than 13 million times in a week on YouTube. 4 “My mother passed away two years ago and I wish I could meet her through virtual reality,” said one of the viewers. “When I watch the video, I am full of hope and the world looks better,” another viewer added.

With a smartphone in hand, you can shop online, watch TV shows and catch a taxi. 1 . China has 904 million Internet users, according to the Statistical Report on Internet Development. 2 . It’s not easy for elderly people to get used to the new Mobile Internet world because of their poor learning and understanding ability. That’s why elderly people are sometimes called “digital refugees (数字难民).” For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, people are often asked to show a green health code (健康码) on their phone to get into public places. But most elderly people don’t use smartphones. Even if they have one, many don’t know how to get a code, People’s Daily noted. “We have made a lifelong contribution (贡献) to society, but now we fed left out by it,” a 75-year-old Beijinger Mr. Bai told the Global Times. 3 . However, not all of these younger people have the patience to teach the elderly. In addition, aging results in many physical problems, such as weak eyesight and bad memory. This makes it harder to use smartphones. The government and some Non-Government Organizations (NOG,非政府组织) in China are trying to help. See Young, a Beijing-based NGO, aims to (旨在) help China’s elderly use mobile services. 4 . And college student volunteers in the organization have offered help in over 200 communities across the country. A．For the elderly, one way of using digital technology well is to learn from younger family members. B．Free computer and smartphone training for elderly people have been provided. C．Among them, those aged 60 and above take up just 6.7 percent D．In fact, some elderly people are becoming interested in digital technology E．However, for many elderly people, such technology only makes their lives confusing 【答案】1．E 2．C 3．A 4．B 【分析】本文主要讲了数字技术使大多数人的生活更容易。但老年人很难适应新的移动互联网世界，中国政府和一些非政府组织正在努力帮助老年人使用互联网，为老年人提供免费电脑和智能手机培训。 1．根据下文“It’s not easy for elderly people to get used to the new Mobile Internet world because of their poor learning and understanding ability.” 老年人很难适应新的移动互联网世界，因为他们的学习和理解能力差。可知“然而，对于许多老年人来说，这种技术只会使他们的生活混乱”起到承上启下的作用，故选E。 2．根据“China has 904 million Internet users, according to the Statistical Report on Internet Development. ” 根据《互联网发展统计报告》，中国有9.04亿互联网用户。可知“Among them, those aged 60 and above take up just 6.7 percent” 其中，60岁及以上老年人仅占6.7%，其中“Among them”指代上文“904 million Internet users”，所以C项符合语境，故选C。 3．根据下文“However, not all of these younger people have the patience to teach the elderly.” 然而，并不是所有这些年轻人都有耐心教老年人。可知与本句有转折关系的是“对于老年人来说，使用数字技术的一个好方法是向年轻的家庭成员学习。”，故选A。 4．最后一段主要讲中国政府和一些非政府组织正在努力帮助中国老年人使用互联网服务。该组织的大学生志愿者在全国200多个社区提供帮助。所以B项“Free computer and smartphone training for elderly people have been provided.” 为老年人提供免费电脑和智能手机培训。符合语境，故选B。 Passage 3 （23-24九年级上·湖南省永州市祁阳市·期中） Riding an E-bike on the street, you might hear some people speaking Chinese aloud.
