In fact, trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair. This was because men, going through the Arctic (北极的) darkness, had discovered a yellow metal—gold. And because shipping and transportation (运输) companies were advertising the discovery, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted heavy dogs, with strong muscles (肌肉) for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold. Buck lived at Judge Miller’s house in the sunny-kissed Santa Clara Valley. There were big stables (马厩), long grape fields, fruit gardens and a big swimming pool. Buck ruled over the whole kingdom. Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life. He protected the Judge’s sons and daughters at long midnight or early morning walks. On cold winter nights he lay at the Judge’s feet in front of the warm library fire. He was king—king over everything, crawled (爬行的), walked, or flew at Judge Miller’s place, including humans. Buck was this kind of dog in the autumn of 1897, when the discovery of gold in the Klondike pulled men from all over the world into the frozen North. But Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that Manuel, one of gardener’s helpers, was not to be trusted. Manuel loved to gamble (赌博). He believed he could win but he was doomed to failure. On the night of Manuel’s betrayal (背叛), no one saw him and Buck went off through the fields. Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk. They arrived at a little train. A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them. Manuel tied a piece of thick rope around Buck’s neck. Buck accepted it quietly. To be sure, it was unwanted, but Buck had learned to trust men he knew. However, when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger’s hands, he barked. Then the rope tightened (收紧) painfully, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Then his strength disappeared, his eyes grew dim (浑浊), and he knew nothing when the train pulled up.

Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death?” Like Leo Tolstoy (列夫·托尔斯泰), the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions. As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success. In 1850s, he wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army. He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer. He earned the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith. So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs—the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew. Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs. The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books—War and Peace and Anna Karenina (《安娜·卡列尼娜》). Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness. Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced many people all over the world. 1．Which is the correct order of the following events? ① Tolstoy served in the army.     ②Tolstoy got married. ③ Tolstoy wrote War and Peace.     ④Tolstoy opened a school. ⑤ Tolstoy became a well-known writer.

Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·广东省广州市越秀区铁一中学·期中） I like writing. I like meeting people. I couldn’t keep a secret if you told me and I like discovering new things and telling everyone about them. So I became a journalist（记者）. Sounds simple and easy, right? But the life of a journalist is more exciting and much harder than that. It can come with pain and frustration（挫折）. Once I ran around in a dark, dangerous-looking street in the snow. I was trying to find a woman who (my editor had told me) “woke in the night to find water pouring on her head”. Somehow I found her. I took photos. I interviewed her, the building owner and the firemen. I wrote the story... Then I opened the paper to find it at the back, with no name on it, only 100 words long. Strangely, however, it made me want to keep going. If you succeed, the rewards of journalism are truly great. I once wrote about an old people’s home. People there, including a 90-year-old blind man, were living in rooms that were full of fleas（跳蚤）. They were told to do their own repairs. A week after the story was published, people there phoned me, full of joy. The managers had said sorry to them and promised to change their ways. Journalism can be dangerous and boring, with long and changing work hours. And the pay (at least in the UK) is terrible. But it’s also one of the most exciting, rewarding jobs. For me, there is no better career than making a difference—and telling the world about it. 1．According to the writer, what can’t she do being a journalist? A．Writing different kinds of stories. B．Meeting different people. C．Discovering new things. D．Staying away from pain and frustration. 2．What does the underlined word “rewards” mean in Paragraph 3? A．回报 B．惩罚 C．编辑 D．帮助 3．What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? A．How a journalist writes a good story. B．A journalist can sometimes help others and bring about changes in people’s lives.

I want you to build me a fence, two metres tall, so I won’t need to see him anymore.”可知，因为兄弟两人之间有隔阂，Jason挖小溪，Paul想做栅栏，这样就看不到Jason了，可推测出划线部分的意思是“我比他干得更绝”。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段“The builder said thoughtfully, ‘I think I understand the situation and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.’”和第六段中的“Instead of a fence there was a bridge, stretching from one side of the creek to the other.”以及倒数第三段“As Paul stood on the bridge, staring in amazement, his younger brother Jason, came across, and took Paul’s hand. ‘You are a good man to have built this bridge after all I’ve done,’ said Jason.”可知，Paul要求建筑工做栅栏，可建筑工却建了桥，两兄弟重归于好，所以建筑工建桥的目的就是让两兄弟和好。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“As Paul stood on the bridge, staring in amazement, his younger brother Jason, came across, and took Paul’s hand. ‘You are a good man to have built this bridge after all I’ve done,’ said Jason.”可知，兄弟两人在建筑工修建的桥上意识到各自的错误，重归于好。故选C。 Passage 6 （24-25九年级上·广东省广州市执信中学·期中） Vicky’s mother opened the door.

In fact, trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair. This was because men, going through the Arctic (北极的) darkness, had discovered a yellow metal—gold. And because shipping and transportation (运输) companies were advertising the discovery, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted heavy dogs, with strong muscles (肌肉) for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold. Buck lived at Judge Miller’s house in the sunny-kissed Santa Clara Valley. There were big stables (马厩), long grape fields, fruit gardens and a big swimming pool. Buck ruled over the whole kingdom. Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life. He protected the Judge’s sons and daughters at long midnight or early morning walks. On cold winter nights he lay at the Judge’s feet in front of the warm library fire. He was king—king over everything, crawled (爬行的), walked, or flew at Judge Miller’s place, including humans. Buck was this kind of dog in the autumn of 1897, when the discovery of gold in the Klondike pulled men from all over the world into the frozen North. But Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that Manuel, one of gardener’s helpers, was not to be trusted. Manuel loved to gamble (赌博). He believed he could win but he was doomed to failure. On the night of Manuel’s betrayal (背叛), no one saw him and Buck went off through the fields. Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk. They arrived at a little train. A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them. Manuel tied a piece of thick rope around Buck’s neck. Buck accepted it quietly. To be sure, it was unwanted, but Buck had learned to trust men he knew. However, when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger’s hands, he barked. Then the rope tightened (收紧) painfully, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Then his strength disappeared, his eyes grew dim (浑浊), and he knew nothing when the train pulled up. Two men threw him into the baggage car. (—Adapted from The Call of the Wild by Jack London) 1．What was the trouble Buck didn’t know at first? A．He did not read the newspapers. B．Judge Miller would ask someone to send Buck away. C．Men wanted heavy dogs to work for them in the cold areas. D．Manuel was doomed to lose money when gambling. 2．Which description about Buck is NOT true according to the story? A．The Judge’s family betrayed him so he ran away quietly. B．He had lived in Judge Miller’s house since he was born. C．Life before the autumn of 1897 was enjoyable for him. D．Manuel could take him out of Miller’s house because he trusted Manuel. 3．Put the following statements in the correct order according to the passage. ①Manuel sold Buck to a man. ②Manuel and Buck went off through the field. ③Manual and Buck arrived at a train. ④Two men threw him into the baggage car. ⑤His strength disappeared and his eyes grew dim because the rope tightened painfully.

A．animals’ trust in humans B．people’s discovery of gold C．Buck’s early life at Judge Miller’s D．the turning point of Buck’s life 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文节选自《野性的呼唤》。本文主要讲述了一条叫做Buck的狗曾经生活得很幸福，但是后来，他被他所信任的Manuel卖给了别人，他的命运从此发生转折，彻底改变了。 1．细节理解题。根据“Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would know that trouble was coming.”和“These men wanted heavy dogs, with strong muscles(肌肉) for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold.”可知，Buck起初不知道这些人是想让这些狗为他们在寒冷的地区工作的。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“He did not know that Manuel, one of gardener’s helpers, was not to be trusted.”以及文章的最后一段，可知，园丁的助手Manuel为了钱而背叛了Buck，把它卖给了陌生人，而不是法官一家背叛他。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“On the night of Manuel’s betrayal (背叛), no one saw him and Buck went off through the fields.…They arrived at a little train. A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them.…Then the rope tightened (收紧) painfully, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Then his strength disappeared, his eyes grew dim (浑浊), and he knew nothing when the train pulled up. Two men threw him into the baggage car.”可知，在Manuel背叛Buck的当天晚上，他和Buck穿过田野，到了一辆火车旁，Manuel把Buck卖给了一个男人，随着绳子收紧，他感受到了痛苦，他的力气逐渐消失，眼神逐渐失去光彩，两个男人把他扔进了车厢里。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了一条狗Buck曾经生活得幸福而自豪，但是后来，他非常信任的Manuel因为钱把他卖掉，彻底改变了他的命运，使他在身体和精神上受到了双重打击。结合选项可知D选项“Buck生命的转折点”符合题意，故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·广东省广州市海珠区·期中） “Why do I live? Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death?” Like Leo Tolstoy (列夫·托尔斯泰), the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions. As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success. In 1850s, he wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army. He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer. He earned the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith. So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs—the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew. Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs. The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books—War and Peace and Anna Karenina (《安娜·卡列尼娜》). Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness. Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced many people all over the world. 1．Which is the correct order of the following events? ① Tolstoy served in the army.     ②Tolstoy got married. ③ Tolstoy wrote War and Peace.     ④Tolstoy opened a school. ⑤ Tolstoy became a well-known writer.

I like meeting people. I couldn’t keep a secret if you told me and I like discovering new things and telling everyone about them. So I became a journalist（记者）. Sounds simple and easy, right? But the life of a journalist is more exciting and much harder than that. It can come with pain and frustration（挫折）. Once I ran around in a dark, dangerous-looking street in the snow. I was trying to find a woman who (my editor had told me) “woke in the night to find water pouring on her head”. Somehow I found her. I took photos. I interviewed her, the building owner and the firemen. I wrote the story... Then I opened the paper to find it at the back, with no name on it, only 100 words long. Strangely, however, it made me want to keep going. If you succeed, the rewards of journalism are truly great. I once wrote about an old people’s home. People there, including a 90-year-old blind man, were living in rooms that were full of fleas（跳蚤）. They were told to do their own repairs. A week after the story was published, people there phoned me, full of joy. The managers had said sorry to them and promised to change their ways. Journalism can be dangerous and boring, with long and changing work hours. And the pay (at least in the UK) is terrible. But it’s also one of the most exciting, rewarding jobs. For me, there is no better career than making a difference—and telling the world about it. 1．According to the writer, what can’t she do being a journalist? A．Writing different kinds of stories. B．Meeting different people. C．Discovering new things. D．Staying away from pain and frustration. 2．What does the underlined word “rewards” mean in Paragraph 3? A．回报 B．惩罚 C．编辑 D．帮助 3．What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? A．How a journalist writes a good story. B．A journalist can sometimes help others and bring about changes in people’s lives. C．A journalist works long hours. D．It’s necessary for a journalist to care more about the poor. 4．What can we learn from the article? A．Working in journalism is easy. B．Journalists are usually well-paid. C．The writer loves her job as a journalist. D．The writer encourages people to work in journalism. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者成为记者的原因，以及记者工作的艰辛和挑战性。 1．细节理解题。根据“It can come with pain and frustration”可知记者的工作伴随着痛苦和沮丧。故选D。 2．词义猜测题。根据“Then I opened the paper to find it at the back, with no name on it, only 100 words long. Strangely, however, it made me want to keep going. If you succeed”可知作者在报道发表后发现没有署名，只有100个字，但她仍想继续，成功后的回报会很大。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。根据“I once wrote about an old people’s home...The managers had said sorry to them and promised to change their ways.”可知文章第四段主要介绍了作者的一次关于养老院的报道，最后管理者承诺做出改变。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“Journalism can be dangerous and boring...But it’s also one of the most exciting, rewarding jobs. For me, there is no better career than making a difference—and telling the world about it.”可知作者很热爱记者的工作。故选C。 主题02 人与社会——旅行与城市变化 Passage 4 （24-25九年级上·广东省广州第十六中学·期中） Altay (阿勒泰), a place in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区), has become a famous place for tourists because of a successful TV show named To the Wonder (《我的阿勒泰》). 1 Altay is also a favorite place for skiing during the cold season.

The people there only cared about themselves. One day, a traveler arrived. Hungry and tired, he wished to find something to eat. Then he stopped at a house and knocked at the door. A woman opened the door. The traveler asked, “May I have something to eat?” The woman shook her head and closed the door without thinking. Then the traveler picked up a stone and knocked at the door again. “Perhaps you would be interested in my special stone soup!” the traveler said with a smile. The woman was surprised by this unusual suggestion. “Stone soup?” she doubted, wondering what that would be. “Yes. I just need to borrow a pot of hot water, please,” the traveler added. Though she didn’t want to, the woman still gave him some water. Then the traveler put his stone in it. “It already tastes good,” he said. “But if you had a little salt and butter, the soup would taste a lot better!” The woman brought him what he asked for, but she was not patient. Soon the word spread through the village and many people came, wanting to see what this stranger would do. “It’s almost finished,” the traveler said. “But it would be even nicer if there were some carrots and potatoes.” “I have potatoes,” said an old lady. “I have some carrots,” a young man answered. A few minutes later, these were added in. Soon, the air was filled with the nice smell. “Is it ready?” the first woman asked. “Yes, but if we can add some meat to the stone soup, it will taste more delicious,” he replied. “I have beef,” shouted a man who was watching from a window. Having everything he wanted in the pot, the traveler tasted a spoon of the soup. “Perfect!” he laughed.

However, things have changed nowadays. Many people ride shared bikes to work. Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing and Beijing... wherever you go in China, you’ll see the yellow bicycles of Meituan Bike, the blue bicycles of Hellobike, and the green bicycles of Didi Bike. “This is something five years ago I didn’t see, and suddenly, they’re everywhere.

Professor Hormats, a close watcher of China, said that every time he goes to Beijing, he’s impressed (印象深刻的). During his early visits to China, people there wore the same style of clothes and could find only several kinds of shampoo (洗发水) in shops. “For me it was just amazing, people living there may not have noticed the changes day by day, like watching grass grow,” said David Roberts, who first visited China in 1981 and has been visiting the country every year since 1997. “I’d go to China every year and see the exciting changes,” he said. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What do we know about shared bikes in China?

How can this happen in such a short time?”可知，共享单车突然之间随处可见，Avery Goldstein应该是感到惊讶的。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The shared bikes in China are much more convenient (方便的) to use than those in New York City, as users can unlock (打开) a shared bike with just a smartphone and ride it,”可知，Goldstein认为中国的共享单车比纽约市的共享单车使用起来要方便得多，因为用户只需一部智能手机即可解锁共享单车并骑行，所以划线部分的含义是“共享单车”。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“During his early visits to China, people there wore the same style of clothes and could find only several kinds of shampoo (洗发水) in shops.”可知，在Hormats教授早期访问中国期间，在商店里只能找到几种洗发水。故选C。 5．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章通过共享单车表明中国发生了巨大变化，所以C项符合。故选C。 主题03 人与社会——名人故事 Passage 7 （24-25九年级上·广东省韶关市新丰县·期中） Qian Xuesen was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province on December 11,1911.
