专题06 阅读还原—五选四 主题01 人与自我—哲理感悟 Passage 1 （23-24九年级上·山东临沂郯城·期中） Once my mother told me a story. In Africa, when an antelope(羚羊) wakes up every morning, the first thing it thinks about is, “I must be able to run faster than the fastest lion, or I will be killed.” 1 , the first thing the lion thinks about is, “I must be able to catch the slowest antelope, or I will starve to death.” So, almost at the same time, they get up and start running toward the rising sun. This is life: full of chances and challenges. 2 . For students, it is just the same. If we do not study hard, sooner or later, we will fall behind the other students. At first, I did not know what the word “exam” meant. Later, I knew an exam was a kind of competition. In competitions, there are always winners and losers. As I grew up, I got to know competition well. There must be competitions in one’s life, so people can improve. Each time I saw children playing games, and heard their laughter, I wished I were that age again. However, I remembered my parents words, “You must work very hard in order to have a good future.” 3 . I was still not sure what competition really meant. One day, I was taking part in an English-speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me kindly. 4 . It is not as cruel as my teacher and parents told me. In fact, competition is the opposite: it is kind and necessary. 根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 A．When a lion wakes from its dream B．I suddenly knew what competition was C．So I picked up my pen and began to study hard again D．Whenever I would remember my parents’ words E．Whether you are an antelope or a lion, you must go ahead when the sun rises 【答案】1．A 2．E 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文通过羚羊和狮子的故事告诉我们，在生活中要勇敢面对挑战，努力为未来奋斗。同时还通过自己的经历解释了考试和竞争的意义。 1．根据上文“In Africa, when an antelope(羚羊) wakes up every morning”可知，上文介绍羚羊醒来做的事，与其对应的应该是狮子醒来做的事，选项A“当一头狮子从梦中醒来”符合语境，故选A。 2．根据上文“This is life: full of chances and challenges.”和“For students, it is just the same.”可知，此处应该起到承上启下的作用，由上文羚羊和狮子引申到学生，选项E“无论你是羚羊还是狮子，你都必须在太阳升起时前行”符合语境，故选E。 3．根据上文“I remembered my parents words, ‘You must work very hard in order to have a good future.’”可知，此处应是作者想起父母说的话后，产生的行为，选项C“因此我拿起笔，再次开始努力学习”符合语境，故选C。 4．根据下文“It is not as cruel as my teacher and parents told me.

In the film, a British soldier travels for days in a desert. When he rests at night under the stars, he covers himself with a blanket (毯子). As we watched this scene, Sarah asked,“ 1 Isn’t it hot in the desert?” Do you have the same question as Sarah? We all know the desert is very hot during the daytime. But do you know it can be surprisingly cold at night? And why does the temperature change so greatly there? The desert is full of sand. Sand doesn’t absorb (吸收) water very well. 2 When the sun heats the sand, the sand acts like a mirror. It heats the air above the ground through the process of heat radiation (放射). Therefore, people feel very hot in the desert during the daytime. 3 It’s very good at absorbing heat. In the mountains, the air is humid (湿润的) at night. When the ground loses heat through radiation, the water in the air holds the heat. Since the air above the ground keeps the heat, the places in the mountains don’t get too cold at night. In the desert, however, the story is quite different. The air there is dry. When the sun sets, the air above the ground can’t hold the heat radiating from the ground. 4 So if you ever have a chance to spend a night in the desert, don’t forget to take a thick blanket. A．Water is different from sand. B．Why does he need a blanket? C．These places won’t get as hot as a desert. D．Sand is not good at. absorbing heat, either. E．As a result, the ground loses heat easily and the temperature drops greatly at night. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．E 【导语】本文主要介绍了沙漠中的气候，为什么会日夜温差大。 1．根据前文“he covers himself with a blanket”和下一句“Isn’t it hot in the desert?”可知， Sarah不明白为什么他要盖毯子。B选项“他为什么需要毯子？”符合语境。故选B。 2．根据下文“When the sun heats the sand, the sand acts like a mirror. It heats the air above the ground through the process of heat radiation ”可知，当太阳加热沙子时，沙子就像一面镜子。它通过热辐射过程加热地面上方的空气。D选项“沙子也不善于吸热。”符合语境。故选D。 3．根据下文“It’s very good at absorbing heat.”可知，水善于吸热，这与沙子不同。A选项“水不同于沙子。”符合语境。故选A。 4．根据上文“When the sun sets, the air above the ground can’t hold the heat radiating from the ground. ”可知，当太阳落山时，地面上的空气无法阻挡地面散发的热量，所以夜间温度会大幅下降。E选项“因此，地面容易散热，夜间温度会大幅下降。”符合语境。故选E。 主题04 人与自我——个人经历 Passage 1 （24-25 九年级上·山东临沂莒南·期中） Not all self-disciplined(自律的) people are excellent, but nearly all excellent people are self-disciplined ones. 1 Some of them never get late.

While such conflicts can be annoying, they need not be too disruptive (破坏性的). There are many different things that you can do to successfully get through conflicts. 1 Work on one problem at a time. During conflicts, it is best to try to solve one problem at a time. It is not a good idea to solve different problems at once. This can be very difficult to both you and your parents. When this happens, families can quickly lose sight of the real problems. 2 When trying to solve conflicts, you should try to keep in mind that there is usually more than one way to any problem. You and your parents should work together to find ways that are acceptable to all parties. If one way doesn’t work, you should try another. Be polite to your parents. 3 During conflicts, or at any other time, you should treat your parents with respect. You should make an effort not to say bad things to your parents even during the heat of an argument or disagreement. Use “I” messages. By using “I” messages, you are telling your parents how their behavior makes you feel, instead of blaming. This classic method that begin with “I” rather than “you” builds relationship of understanding. 4 So instead of saying “You need to stop shouting at me”, you’d say, “I feel sad when you are shouting at me because I am trying to fully understand what you are saying.” A．Look for creative ways to solve problems. B．Starting with “you” can make a person angry. C．Using “I” in your message can drive people mad. D．Here are some suggestions for communicating with your parents. E．You shouldn’t forget the ordinary rules of politeness. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．E 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了如何与父母进行沟通。 1．根据“There are many different things that you can do to successfully get through conflicts.”以及下文内容可知，本文主要介绍了如何与父母沟通，选项D“以下是一些与父母沟通的建议”符合语境。故选D。 2．根据“You and your parents should work together to find ways that are acceptable to all parties”可知你和你的父母应该共同努力，找到各方都能接受的方法，选项A“寻找创造性的方法来解决问题”符合语境。故选A。 3．根据“Be polite to your parents.”可知对父母要有礼貌，选项E“你不应该忘记礼貌的一般规则”符合语境。故选E。 4．根据“This classic method that begin with ‘I’ rather than ‘you’ builds relationship of understanding”可知这种以“我”而不是“你”开头的经典方法建立了理解关系，选项B“以‘你’开头可能会让人生气”符合语境。故选B。 主题02人与社会——艺术 Passage 1 （23-24九年级上·山东临沂河东·期中） As traditional Chinese art, paper cutting has a long history. 1 But this traditional art is at risk of disappearing now.

When you visit a new place, you are forced to meet your everyday needs, like food and language in a totally new and different way. 1 . After all, it is you who must take steps to feel better. There are a few suggestions. 2 . You may feel annoyed that you are experiencing a culture shock after having prepared so long and so hard for your trip. No matter how much information you read and how well you speak English, you can’t always do everything perfectly. An open mind helps. Try not to form an opinion about the new culture soon. You might be quick to judge the food, manners and the ways to communicate and as a result would want to do things the way you are used to. Do not think of the US culture as better or worse, just different—you will be more willing to try new things. 3 . Participate (参与). Just watching life go by you is not going to help you much. You will have to try out a few things for yourself. Don’t worry about making a mistake. People around you will usually be ready to help if something goes wrong. If you are unsure of what to do in a new environment, follow others. Be humorous. 4 . Finally believe that you can live with the differences and confusions (困惑) and still learn and enjoy yourself. A．Getting over culture shock depends upon you B．Do not expect to do things perfectly the first time C．Our cultures help us understand who we are and what we believe D．Try to accept the differences you are finding between your home and host cultures E．Never forget that humor is one of the best methods for almost any difficult situation 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．E 【导语】本文主要介绍了“文化冲击”一词用于描述当一个人搬到新环境时产生的焦虑，并给出了缓解此类焦虑的建议。 1．根据“After all, it’s you who must take steps to feel better.”可知，你必须做点什么让自己感觉好起来。选项A“克服文化冲击取决于你自己”与之相符。故选A。 2．根据“No matter how much information you read and how well you speak English, you can’t always do everything perfectly.”可知，不管你了解了多少信息，英语说得多好，你不可能总是把每件事都做得完美。选项B“不要期望第一次就把事情做得完美无缺”与之相符。故选B。 3．根据“Do not think of the US culture as better or worse, just different you—will be more willing to try new things.”可知，对于不同文化，只认为它是不同的，你会更愿意尝试新事物。选项D“尝试接受您发现的家乡文化和东道国文化之间的差异。”与之相符。故选D。 4．根据“Be humorous.”可知，本段讲的是“要幽默”。选项E“永远不要忘记，幽默几乎是解决任何困难的最好方法之一”与之相符。故选E。 Passage2 （24-25九年级上·山东临沂费县·期中） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 In fact, a lot of languages can still be learned best in more relaxing situations where students are having fun. Here are some suggestions. ★ 1 If you live in an area filled with English speakers, get students out of the classroom. Put them among other English speakers: Students may not speak to strangers, but they’ll hear conversations and may begin to understand how the words learned in the classroom are actually used in everyday life. ★Let their guard (警惕) down.

Fun activities, especially those outside of the classroom, give students a chance to feel relaxed. 2 It may take a bit of time in the beginning, but once students get into it, they’ll start to get confidence. ★Make use of English media. Most recorded language instruction (指导) is pretty boring. 3 They will hear common expressions and more everyday conversations in the movie. If they’re not sure about anything they hear, you can turn it into a new lesson in the classroom. ★Hear or use English in situations. Casual conversations give learners the chance to hear or use English in situations. In different situations, they can talk about their favorite films, super stars and any successful or famous person freely. They will show interest in learning English if they use English to talk about anything they like. 4 Everyone can master new knowledge or skills better if he has fun learning.

Some information really has a bad influence on children. That’s why children should not be allowed to use social media, ”Dr. Eshleman says. One study shows that social media users under 11 years old are more likely to have some problems, like having online-only friends and taking part in online bullying （网络欺凌）. 2 “If kids are kept being asked to stay away from social media and do their homework, then parents may find they get angry easily,” says Dr. Eshleman. Dr. Eshleman says if your children are often on social media or if they’ve been asking to join, it’s important to pay attention to the following things.

Passage 3 （23-24九年级上·山东淄博沂源县·期中） 阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后面的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Last week, I watched a Hollywood movie with my sister, Sarah. In the film, a British soldier travels for days in a desert. When he rests at night under the stars, he covers himself with a blanket (毯子). As we watched this scene, Sarah asked,“ 1 Isn’t it hot in the desert?” Do you have the same question as Sarah? We all know the desert is very hot during the daytime. But do you know it can be surprisingly cold at night? And why does the temperature change so greatly there? The desert is full of sand. Sand doesn’t absorb (吸收) water very well. 2 When the sun heats the sand, the sand acts like a mirror. It heats the air above the ground through the process of heat radiation (放射). Therefore, people feel very hot in the desert during the daytime. 3 It’s very good at absorbing heat. In the mountains, the air is humid (湿润的) at night. When the ground loses heat through radiation, the water in the air holds the heat. Since the air above the ground keeps the heat, the places in the mountains don’t get too cold at night. In the desert, however, the story is quite different. The air there is dry. When the sun sets, the air above the ground can’t hold the heat radiating from the ground. 4 So if you ever have a chance to spend a night in the desert, don’t forget to take a thick blanket. A．Water is different from sand. B．Why does he need a blanket? C．These places won’t get as hot as a desert. D．Sand is not good at. absorbing heat, either. E．As a result, the ground loses heat easily and the temperature drops greatly at night. 主题04 人与自我——个人经历 Passage 1 （24-25 九年级上·山东临沂莒南·期中） Not all self-disciplined(自律的) people are excellent, but nearly all excellent people are self-disciplined ones. 1 Some of them never get late.

It also shows that this person is able to persevere(坚持). 3 But how do you learn self-management? First of all, set a goal and write down your reasons for wanting to achieve it. Then list all the things you need to do to achieve this goal. 4 With self-discipline, small things in life will no longer trouble you. Only through self-discipline can you truly own your bright future. A．Some of them keep reading every day. B．And start to work on them, one at a time. C．Someone wants to lose weight by eating less.

While such conflicts can be annoying, they need not be too disruptive (破坏性的). There are many different things that you can do to successfully get through conflicts. 1 Work on one problem at a time. During conflicts, it is best to try to solve one problem at a time. It is not a good idea to solve different problems at once. This can be very difficult to both you and your parents. When this happens, families can quickly lose sight of the real problems. 2 When trying to solve conflicts, you should try to keep in mind that there is usually more than one way to any problem. You and your parents should work together to find ways that are acceptable to all parties. If one way doesn’t work, you should try another. Be polite to your parents. 3 During conflicts, or at any other time, you should treat your parents with respect. You should make an effort not to say bad things to your parents even during the heat of an argument or disagreement. Use “I” messages. By using “I” messages, you are telling your parents how their behavior makes you feel, instead of blaming. This classic method that begin with “I” rather than “you” builds relationship of understanding. 4 So instead of saying “You need to stop shouting at me”, you’d say, “I feel sad when you are shouting at me because I am trying to fully understand what you are saying.” A．Look for creative ways to solve problems. B．Starting with “you” can make a person angry. C．Using “I” in your message can drive people mad. D．Here are some suggestions for communicating with your parents.

There are a few suggestions. 2 . You may feel annoyed that you are experiencing a culture shock after having prepared so long and so hard for your trip. No matter how much information you read and how well you speak English, you can’t always do everything perfectly. An open mind helps. Try not to form an opinion about the new culture soon. You might be quick to judge the food, manners and the ways to communicate and as a result would want to do things the way you are used to. Do not think of the US culture as better or worse, just different—you will be more willing to try new things. 3 . Participate (参与). Just watching life go by you is not going to help you much. You will have to try out a few things for yourself. Don’t worry about making a mistake. People around you will usually be ready to help if something goes wrong. If you are unsure of what to do in a new environment, follow others. Be humorous. 4 . Finally believe that you can live with the differences and confusions (困惑) and still learn and enjoy yourself. A．Getting over culture shock depends upon you B．Do not expect to do things perfectly the first time C．Our cultures help us understand who we are and what we believe D．Try to accept the differences you are finding between your home and host cultures E．Never forget that humor is one of the best methods for almost any difficult situation Passage2 （24-25九年级上·山东临沂费县·期中） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 In fact, a lot of languages can still be learned best in more relaxing situations where students are having fun. Here are some suggestions. ★ 1 If you live in an area filled with English speakers, get students out of the classroom. Put them among other English speakers: Students may not speak to strangers, but they’ll hear conversations and may begin to understand how the words learned in the classroom are actually used in everyday life. ★Let their guard (警惕) down. One difficult thing for learners is that they don’t have confidence. Fun activities, especially those outside of the classroom, give students a chance to feel relaxed. 2 It may take a bit of time in the beginning, but once students get into it, they’ll start to get confidence. ★Make use of English media. Most recorded language instruction (指导) is pretty boring. 3 They will hear common expressions and more everyday conversations in the movie. If they’re not sure about anything they hear, you can turn it into a new lesson in the classroom. ★Hear or use English in situations. Casual conversations give learners the chance to hear or use English in situations. In different situations, they can talk about their favorite films, super stars and any successful or famous person freely. They will show interest in learning English if they use English to talk about anything they like. 4 Everyone can master new knowledge or skills better if he has fun learning.
