But today, an increasing number of the old are becoming victims(受害者). According to a report on the Internet use of China’s elderly people last year, 38.6% of people aged 60 or over were Internet users. And some surveyed elderly people spent at least 10 hours on the Internet every day. Phone overuse could lead to the higher risk of many diseases like cervical spondylosis(颈推病). Besides health problems, elderly people’s phone addiction also brings family problems. For example, their adult children often get upset when they stay up late playing with the phone or shop online blindly. Why do old people depend heavily on mobile phones? It’s because they have lots of spare time and they wish to communicate with others. Though it’s natural for the elderly to meet their spiritual needs through the smart phone, they should limit their time on the Internet and get regular rest at night. Adult children should go home more often to talk with their parents and reduce their sense of loneliness and encourage them to do healthy activities. 1．What can we learn from the report? A．An increasing number of the young played games online. B．People aged 60 or over were easy to catch diseases. C．Half of the surveyed people used the Internet. D．Some surveyed elderly people overused the Internet. 2．What does the writer think of elderly people’s phone addiction? A．It does harm to their health. B．It helps them shop easily. C．It’s a waste of time and energy. D．It helps them communicate with their family. 3．In which paragraph can we find the reason for elderly people’s phone addiction? A．Paragraph2. B．Paragraph 3. C．Paragraph 4. D．Parugraph5. 4．The structure of the text is _________ . A． B． C． D． 5．What would be the best title for the text? A．The Family Problems B．The Sense of Health C．The Risk of Phone Overuse D．The Elderly’s Internet Addiction 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述老年人上网成瘾的现状，并分析了老年人过度使用手机上网的危害、原因。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“And some surveyed elderly people spent at least 10 hours on the Internet every day”可知，一些被调查的老年人过度使用手机，每天至少上网10小时。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Besides health problems, elderly people’s phone addiction also brings family problems”可知，老年人过度使用手机可带来身体问题和家庭问题。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“It’s because they have lots of spare time and they wish to communicate with others”可知，老年人过度依赖手机的原因是他们业余时间丰富，渴望与他人交流，分析了老年人手机成瘾的原因。故选C。 4．文章结构题。根据“But today, an increasing number of the old are becoming victims”可知，第一段介绍背景，引出话题“老年人正成为上网成瘾的受害者”；根据“According to a report on the Internet use of China’s elderly people...”可知，第二段通过一项调查结果，证明第一段的事实；根据“Phone overuse could lead to...health problems...family problems”可知，第三段分析老年人过度使用手机的危害；根据“Why do old people depend heavily on mobile phones”可知，第四段分析老年人过度使用手机的原因；根据“...they should...Adult children should...”可知，第五段分析面对老年人上网成瘾应该怎么做；因此文章整体属于总分结构。故选B。 5．标题归纳题。根据反复出现的关键词“Internet addiction”“elderly people”以及“phone overuse”可知，文章主要讲述老年人上网成瘾问题严峻，呼吁大家重视。故选D。 Passage 5 （23-24九上·云南楚雄·期中） Language students often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact, the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study. To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it’s organized （有条理的）. When you put away a book—or memory—you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again. How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it. 1．In the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because _______. A．they have memory problems B．they are too worried C．they don’t use a proper way D．they don’t like to study 2．Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage? A．Short-term memory is seldom used. B．What we see goes into long-term memory first. C．We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory. D．We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory. 3．The underlined (划线的) part in Paragraph 2 means long-term memory _______. A．keeps many books like a large library B．works like a well-organized library C．provides any book you want D．leaves memory anywhere 4．Which is one example of “thinking about the word in new ways” in Paragraph 3? A．Making sentences with the word. B．Listening to some familiar stories. C．Talking with people that you know. D．Drawing pictures of the word on paper. 5．This passage mainly tells us about _______. A．language students’ problems in study B．how to make the meaning of words stronger C．short-term and long-term memory D．how to improve ways to remember words 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文讲述的是如何改进单词记忆方法，提高记忆语言词汇的能力。要把语言词汇变成长时记忆，可以用单词造句、编成小故事、构建单词图片等等。 1．细节理解题。根据“They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact, the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study.”可知，在作者看来，学生记不住单词是因为他们没有用正确的方法。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory.”可知，如果一个单词进入短期记忆，我们很快就会忘记它。故选C。 3．句意猜测题。根据“our long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it’s organized （有条理的）. When you put away a book—or memory—you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.”可知，长期记忆就像一个组织良好的图书馆。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word.”可知，可以用单词造句。故选A。 5．主旨大意题。本文讲述的是如何改进单词记忆方法，提高记忆语言词汇的能力。要把语言词汇变成长时记忆，可以用单词造句、编成小故事、构建单词图片等等。故选D。 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 （23-24九上·开远一中·期中） It seems very natural that if you have two dollars and add two dollars to them, you have four dollars. But do you know it took man millions of years to be able to think this way? In fact, one of the most difficult things to teach children is the idea of numbers. In ancient times, when a man wanted to tell how many animals he owned, he had no system (体系) of numbers to use. He put a stone or pebble into a bag for each animal. The more animals, the more stones or pebbles he had. It may explain why the word “calculate” comes from the Latin word “calculus” which means “stone”. Later on, man used tally marks (计数标签) to count. People would just scratch (划下) a line or tally mark for each object they wanted to count, but they had no word to tell the number. The next step in the development of the number system was probably to use fingers. Again we have a word that goes back to this. The word “digit” comes from the Latin word “digitus”. It means “finger”! And the fact that we have 10 fingers led to the general use of 10 in the system of numbers. The number system we use today was invented by the Hindus in India thousands of years ago and was brought to Europe during 8th to 11th century by Arab traders. In this system all numbers are written with the nine digits. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and zero. It is a decimal system (十进制), that is, it is built on the base of 10. 1．Man first used ________ for counting. A．three B．a stone or pebble C．fingers D．foot 2．The two Latin words in the text are ________. A．calculus and stone B．digitus and finger C．calculus and digitus D．calculus and finger 3．________ invented the number system we use today. A．The Hindus in India B．Europeans C．Arab traders D．Chinese 4．There are ________ steps in the development of the counting system. A．two B．three C．four D．five 5．If A and B each scratched three lines for their own objects to be counted, they would probably have ________ objects in all. A．three B．six C．nine D．twelve 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文讲述了计数的历史发展。 1．细节理解题。根据文章描述“He put a stone or pebble into a bag for each animal”，可知古时候人类最早用石头或卵石计数，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“the Latin word ‘calculus’”以及“the Latin word ‘digitus’”可知文中提到两个拉丁词：“calculus” 和 “digitus”，故选C。 3．细节理解题。文章中提到“The number system we use today was invented by the Hindus in India”可知我们今天使用的数字系统是印度印度教徒发明的，故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“He put a stone or pebble into a bag for each animal.”、“Later on, man used tally marks (计数标签) to count.”、“The next step in the development of the number system was probably to use fingers.”以及“The number system we use today was invented by the Hindus in India thousands of years ago and was brought to Europe during 8th to 11th century by Arab traders…It is a decimal system”可知文章描述了四种发展步骤：石头、计数标签（划线）、手指和十进制系统，故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据“People would just scratch (划下) a line or tally mark for each object they wanted to count”可知人们会为他们想要计数的每个物体划一条线来标记，如果A和B分别为他们的物体划了三条线，那么一共是3+3=6，故选B。 Passage 2 （23-24九上·开远一中·期中） Here’s a book about people in Chinese culture. The followings are some information about them. Mozi made a thing called Jiche. It can be used to throw stones from a far away place to kill enemies (敌人). It was mostly used in the war.

But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag? In the Han Dynasty (汉朝), students in old-style private schools used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. People consider the bamboo boxes to be the earliest schoolbags. They were usually two or three layers (层) in the box. Kids put different things like books, brushes, ink stones (砚) and paper in the boxes. Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or the “hip-pocket”. The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding (成立) of the People’s Republic of China, military rucksacks (军用帆布包) became popular. Many people carried them when they were in school. Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags. Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were in school. A new style of schoolbags has appeared in recent years. Many of them have colorful and fashionable designs (时尚的设计) on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And they are more comfortable to use.

Read on to see which line you want to start your journey with. Xining to Lhasa Length: around 1,900 km long Price: 781 yuan for a soft sleeper The railway line is popular with travelers who want to visit Tibet (西藏). It is the longest high altitude (海拔) train trip in the world and is named as “the way to the sky”. Most of the line is over 4,000 meters.

This line is called Geological Museum (地质博物馆) because of the special geography along the railway line. Lhasa to Rikaze Length: around 250 km long Price: 64 yuan for a soft seat This railway line connects to the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and has an altitude of above 3,600 meters. It makes Tibet travel easier for travellers, especially those who want to see Mount Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world. 1．Why is the railway from Xining to Lhasa called the “the way to the sky”?

But recently, the “seafood” produced in these places has become popular, especially after Japan put nuclear-contaminated water（核污染水）into the sea, reported China Daily. In Nilka county in Xinjiang, about 6, 000 tons of rainbow trout（虹鳟鱼）will be produced this year. Rainbow trout belongs to the same family as salmon（鲑鱼）, which is a kind of well-known seafood. It tastes like salmon too. Why do farmers there choose to grow fish? The weather in some parts of Xinjiang is seldom hot, and the rivers are fed by meltwater（融水）from the Tianshan Mountains. Water deeper than 6 meters always stays at 10 C． As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it's a “comfortable” home for fish, Li Chunyu, a worker at a fish company in Xinjiang, told China Daily. To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water. They also use net cages that are good for the environment. The nets are about 51 meters wide and lie 25 meters deep in the river. Meanwhile, in Inner Mongolia, whiteleg shrimp（南美白对虾）grows well. Saline soil（盐碱土）covers a large part of the desert where few plants are able to grow. Farmers used to put water from the Yellow River onto the farmland to wash away the salt. This was a waste of salty water. Scientists then decided to create “seawater” with the salty water by adding in some other components（成分）. Whiteleg shrimps can live well in this kind of water. They taste no different from the same kind of shrimp that grows in the sea. 1．Rainbow trout comfortably live in_____________. A．any open water area B．warm and clean rivers C．salty and warm oceans D．cold and clean rivers 2．People turn their eyes from Japan's seafood to Xinjiang’s because _________.

A．To show the importance of rivers to a country. B．To introduce the safety of eating seafood. C．To compare it with common whiteleg shrimp. D．To show another “seafood” grown without using the sea. 5．What can we infer from the story? ________ A．Life will not be different without seafood.

Parents may be too close to their children emotionally (感情上). Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, a teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent. Another problem is that parents may expect their children’s interests to be similar to their own. If they love science, they may try to force (强迫) their child to love science too. But what if their child’s true love is art, or writing, or car repairing? Parents usually want to pass on their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they will have different ways of thinking. The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents, our teachers and our friends teach us. Books and newspapers and televisions also teach us.

Increasingly, that’s no longer the case. Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands are better than Chinese ones, the billionaire William Li told Business Insider during a recent interview on CCTV 9. But for those who were born after 1985, it is a different picture. “When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997, I thought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big,” Li said. “But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US, they do not think there is a big difference.” The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China where western companies used to control. A study by Credit Suisse published in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a “home brand bias”. More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance brands, according to the study. Meanwhile, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products increased their share of the market by 3. 3% over the last ten years to nearly 70%. “Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don’t just believe that foreign brands are better. Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and‘Made in China’is not bad at all,” Charlie Chen, head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March. The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies—Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market share is believed to be down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%. 1．What is this passage mainly about? A．The quality of “Made in China”. B．The change in Chinese buyers’ thinking. C．Chinese products in the eye of foreigners. D．Difference between older and younger Chinese buyers. 2．Which of the following is true according to the text? A．More and more foreigners go to buy Chinese products. B．Foreign products are more expensive than Chinese ones. C．More and more Chinese buyers prefer Chinese products. D．Older Chinese people don’t like foreign products any more. 3．Which fact best explains “home brand bias”? A．Apple had a market share of 54% in 2015. B．More than 90% of young Chinese buyers prefer home brands. C．Chinese people born before 1985 think that foreign brands are better. D．William Li found a big difference between China and Europe in 1997. 4．Who did most of the research for this report? A．Credit Suisse. B．CCTV 9. C．South China Morning Post. D．Business Insider. 5．What’s the best title for this passage? A．Chinese products get more popular at home B．Young Chinese are crazy about foreign brands C．“Made in China” is welcomed all over the world D．Apple has lost large ground to Huawei in China 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．A 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了以前许多中国人都觉得外国的品牌比中国的品牌好。现在中国的买家在想法上发生了转变，尤其是年轻人越来越喜欢中国的品牌了。 1．主旨大意题。通读全文，再结合第一段的主题句“Increasingly, that's no longer the case.”可知，本文讲的是中国买家想法上的转变。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文中第五段“More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance brands,”可知，越来越多的中国买家更喜欢国产的产品了。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段“More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance brands,”可知，“超过90%的中国年轻买家更愿意购买家电品牌”这一事实最能解释家居品牌偏好。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据第七段“Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and‘Made in China’is not bad at all,” Charlie Chen, head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March.”可知，瑞士信贷为这份报告做了大部分的研究。故选A。 5．最佳标题。根据文章大意可知，现在的中国买家，尤其是年轻人越来越喜欢中国的品牌了，也就是说中国产品在国内越来越受欢迎。故选A。 Passage 9 （23-24九上·云南昆明石林鹿阜中学·期中） Here are three kinds of forms of Chinese art.

One of the things he discovered was money made of paper. People in the West did not have such kind of money until the 15th century. However the Chinese began to use it in the 7th century. Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2,000 years ago. But it was not made in Europe until the year 1100. Four hundred years later, a German discovered that he could make the best paper from trees. After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada, Sweden, America, Finland became the most important ones in paper making. Paper can be used in many ways. The common uses include newspapers, magazines and books. But do you know that paper can be used for keeping warm? In Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And even houses can be insulated (使绝缘) from heat or cold with paper. However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth someday in the near future. Every day people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down nearly 48,000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow. So we must start saving paper right now. We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cups instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some. In short, we should keep a balance between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late. 1．When did people in the West have paper money? A．In the 5th century. B．In the 13th century. C．In the 7th century. D．In the 15th century. 2．Why did America become an important country in paper making? A．Because it had a large population.

The first great invention was one that is still very important today—the wheel (轮子). This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long ways. For hundreds of years after that, there were few inventions that had as much influences the wheel. Then in the early 1800s, the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore (探索) much any more. They began to work instead to make life better. In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today. The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions: the helicopter (直升飞机) in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1928, and jet planes (喷气式飞机) in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. By this time most people had a very good life. Man has a desire to explore again. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space. In 1969 man took his biggest step from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning thought. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of. 1．People didn’t explore the world ________. A．in the second half of the 19th century B．in the 20th century C．from the 1800s to the 2000s D．at the beginning of the 1800s 2．Which is the right order of the following inventions? A．light—helicopter—computer B．wheel—jet plane—helicopter C．computer—radio—camera D．movie with sound—wheel—nylon 3．________ is the first country to make a step into space.

Under the rules, children can only play online games for one hour a night on Fridays, Sundays, and public holidays. On these nights, the players must use their real names and birth dates when they set up the game accounts（账号）. The new rules are trying to protect young people’s health of their body and mind. The government is hoping to stop young people from becoming addicted（沉溺于）to online gaming. Both parents and teachers warmly welcome the new rules. They are glad that the government has taken action to help control children’s interest in online gaming. Cao Jie, a teacher and a mother of a high school student in Changsha, was very happy when she heard about the news. She said, lots of students choose to play video games at home and their parents often find it difficult to stop them from surfing online too long. Limiting the time children spend online is the first step to protect them, but to better deal with the problem of Internet addiction, more attention is needed from families, the government and the whole society. 1．The new rules about limiting online gaming are strict in players’ ________. A．ages and birth place B．skills and birth place C．ages and playing time D．skills and playing time 2．Paragraph 2 is mainly about  ________.

Passage 4 （23-24九上·云南昆明一中学致校区·期中） “Internet addiction (瘾)” was once used to describe young people who spent too much time watching videos or playing games online. But today, an increasing number of the old are becoming victims(受害者). According to a report on the Internet use of China’s elderly people last year, 38.6% of people aged 60 or over were Internet users. And some surveyed elderly people spent at least 10 hours on the Internet every day. Phone overuse could lead to the higher risk of many diseases like cervical spondylosis(颈推病). Besides health problems, elderly people’s phone addiction also brings family problems. For example, their adult children often get upset when they stay up late playing with the phone or shop online blindly. Why do old people depend heavily on mobile phones? It’s because they have lots of spare time and they wish to communicate with others. Though it’s natural for the elderly to meet their spiritual needs through the smart phone, they should limit their time on the Internet and get regular rest at night. Adult children should go home more often to talk with their parents and reduce their sense of loneliness and encourage them to do healthy activities. 1．What can we learn from the report? A．An increasing number of the young played games online. B．People aged 60 or over were easy to catch diseases. C．Half of the surveyed people used the Internet. D．Some surveyed elderly people overused the Internet. 2．What does the writer think of elderly people’s phone addiction? A．It does harm to their health. B．It helps them shop easily. C．It’s a waste of time and energy. D．It helps them communicate with their family. 3．In which paragraph can we find the reason for elderly people’s phone addiction? A．Paragraph2. B．Paragraph 3. C．Paragraph 4. D．Parugraph5. 4．The structure of the text is _________ . A． B． C． D． 5．What would be the best title for the text? A．The Family Problems B．The Sense of Health C．The Risk of Phone Overuse D．The Elderly’s Internet Addiction Passage 5 （23-24九上·云南楚雄·期中） Language students often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact, the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study. To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it’s organized （有条理的）. When you put away a book—or memory—you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again. How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it. 1．In the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because _______. A．they have memory problems B．they are too worried C．they don’t use a proper way D．they don’t like to study 2．Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage? A．Short-term memory is seldom used. B．What we see goes into long-term memory first. C．We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory. D．We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory. 3．The underlined (划线的) part in Paragraph 2 means long-term memory _______. A．keeps many books like a large library B．works like a well-organized library C．provides any book you want D．leaves memory anywhere 4．Which is one example of “thinking about the word in new ways” in Paragraph 3? A．Making sentences with the word. B．Listening to some familiar stories. C．Talking with people that you know. D．Drawing pictures of the word on paper. 5．This passage mainly tells us about _______. A．language students’ problems in study B．how to make the meaning of words stronger C．short-term and long-term memory D．how to improve ways to remember words 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 （23-24九上·开远一中·期中） It seems very natural that if you have two dollars and add two dollars to them, you have four dollars. But do you know it took man millions of years to be able to think this way? In fact, one of the most difficult things to teach children is the idea of numbers. In ancient times, when a man wanted to tell how many animals he owned, he had no system (体系) of numbers to use. He put a stone or pebble into a bag for each animal. The more animals, the more stones or pebbles he had. It may explain why the word “calculate” comes from the Latin word “calculus” which means “stone”. Later on, man used tally marks (计数标签) to count. People would just scratch (划下) a line or tally mark for each object they wanted to count, but they had no word to tell the number. The next step in the development of the number system was probably to use fingers. Again we have a word that goes back to this. The word “digit” comes from the Latin word “digitus”. It means “finger”! And the fact that we have 10 fingers led to the general use of 10 in the system of numbers. The number system we use today was invented by the Hindus in India thousands of years ago and was brought to Europe during 8th to 11th century by Arab traders. In this system all numbers are written with the nine digits. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and zero. It is a decimal system (十进制), that is, it is built on the base of 10. 1．Man first used ________ for counting. A．three B．a stone or pebble C．fingers D．foot 2．The two Latin words in the text are ________. A．calculus and stone B．digitus and finger C．calculus and digitus D．calculus and finger 3．________ invented the number system we use today. A．The Hindus in India B．Europeans C．Arab traders D．Chinese 4．There are ________ steps in the development of the counting system. A．two B．three C．four D．five 5．If A and B each scratched three lines for their own objects to be counted, they would probably have ________ objects in all. A．three B．six C．nine D．twelve Passage 2 （23-24九上·开远一中·期中） Here’s a book about people in Chinese culture. The followings are some information about them. Mozi made a thing called Jiche. It can be used to throw stones from a far away place to kill enemies (敌人). It was mostly used in the war. He is not only a great thinker as we thought before.

But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag? In the Han Dynasty (汉朝), students in old-style private schools used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. People consider the bamboo boxes to be the earliest schoolbags. They were usually two or three layers (层) in the box. Kids put different things like books, brushes, ink stones (砚) and paper in the boxes. Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or the “hip-pocket”. The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding (成立) of the People’s Republic of China, military rucksacks (军用帆布包) became popular. Many people carried them when they were in school. Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags. Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were in school. A new style of schoolbags has appeared in recent years. Many of them have colorful and fashionable designs (时尚的设计) on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And they are more comfortable to use. Some students pull wheeled bags filled with heavy textbooks and others carry backpacks. 1．Schoolbags in the Han Dynasty were made of _______.

But recently, the “seafood” produced in these places has become popular, especially after Japan put nuclear-contaminated water（核污染水）into the sea, reported China Daily. In Nilka county in Xinjiang, about 6, 000 tons of rainbow trout（虹鳟鱼）will be produced this year. Rainbow trout belongs to the same family as salmon（鲑鱼）, which is a kind of well-known seafood. It tastes like salmon too. Why do farmers there choose to grow fish? The weather in some parts of Xinjiang is seldom hot, and the rivers are fed by meltwater（融水）from the Tianshan Mountains. Water deeper than 6 meters always stays at 10 C． As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it's a “comfortable” home for fish, Li Chunyu, a worker at a fish company in Xinjiang, told China Daily. To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water. They also use net cages that are good for the environment. The nets are about 51 meters wide and lie 25 meters deep in the river. Meanwhile, in Inner Mongolia, whiteleg shrimp（南美白对虾）grows well. Saline soil（盐碱土）covers a large part of the desert where few plants are able to grow. Farmers used to put water from the Yellow River onto the farmland to wash away the salt. This was a waste of salty water. Scientists then decided to create “seawater” with the salty water by adding in some other components（成分）. Whiteleg shrimps can live well in this kind of water. They taste no different from the same kind of shrimp that grows in the sea. 1．Rainbow trout comfortably live in_____________. A．any open water area B．warm and clean rivers C．salty and warm oceans D．cold and clean rivers 2．People turn their eyes from Japan's seafood to Xinjiang’s because _________. A．Xinjiang’s seafood is much tastier B．the ocean environment is polluted C．people find a new ocean in Xinjiang D．Xinjiang produces all kinds of seafood 3．To avoid water pollution caused by growing fish, the company____________. ①cleans the water with machines              ②grows fish in fixed water areas ③grows one kind of fish once a year           ④cuts down the fish production A．①② B．③④ C．①②③ D．②③④ 4．Why is whiteleg shrimp introduced in the story? A．To show the importance of rivers to a country. B．To introduce the safety of eating seafood. C．To compare it with common whiteleg shrimp. D．To show another “seafood” grown without using the sea. 5．What can we infer from the story? ________ A．Life will not be different without seafood. B．Japan shouldn’t let out nuclear-contaminated water. C．China won’t be short of fishery products. D．Xinjiang is rich in natural resources. Passage 7 （23-24九上·云南昆明西山·期中） Parents can be very important teachers in our lives. However, they are not always the best teachers. Parents may be too close to their children emotionally (感情上). Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, a teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent. Another problem is that parents may expect their children’s interests to be similar to their own. If they love science, they may try to force (强迫) their child to love science too. But what if their child’s true love is art, or writing, or car repairing? Parents usually want to pass on their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they will have different ways of thinking. The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents, our teachers and our friends teach us. Books and newspapers and televisions also teach us. All of them are valuable. 1．________ might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience according to the passage. A．Parent B．A teacher C．Either a teacher or a parent D．Neither a teacher nor a parent 2．We can know that parents may hope that their children have the same ________ as their own. A．looks B．interests C．habits D．jobs in the future 3．The underlined phrase “pass on” in paragraph 3 means ________ in Chinese. A．继承 B．路过 C．传递 D．领悟 4．When children get older, they ________. A．don’t believe their parents anymore B．should always believe what their parents do C．believe that their parents are always right D．begin to have their own ways of thinking 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．Never Grow Up! B．Believe Your Parents Forever C．Are Parents Always the Best Teachers? D．How Many Teachers Can We Have in Our Lives? Passage 8 （23-24九上·云南昆明石林鹿阜中学·期中） Chinese buyers used to prize foreign brands, thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality (质量) than Chinese ones. Increasingly, that’s no longer the case. Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands are better than Chinese ones, the billionaire William Li told Business Insider during a recent interview on CCTV 9. But for those who were born after 1985, it is a different picture. “When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997, I thought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big,” Li said. “But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US, they do not think there is a big difference.” The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China where western companies used to control. A study by Credit Suisse published in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a “home brand bias”. More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance brands, according to the study. Meanwhile, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products increased their share of the market by 3. 3% over the last ten years to nearly 70%. “Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don’t just believe that foreign brands are better. Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and‘Made in China’is not bad at all,” Charlie Chen, head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March. The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies—Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market share is believed to be down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%. 1．What is this passage mainly about? A．The quality of “Made in China”. B．The change in Chinese buyers’ thinking. C．Chinese products in the eye of foreigners. D．Difference between older and younger Chinese buyers. 2．Which of the following is true according to the text? A．More and more foreigners go to buy Chinese products. B．Foreign products are more expensive than Chinese ones. C．More and more Chinese buyers prefer Chinese products. D．Older Chinese people don’t like foreign products any more. 3．Which fact best explains “home brand bias”? A．Apple had a market share of 54% in 2015. B．More than 90% of young Chinese buyers prefer home brands. C．Chinese people born before 1985 think that foreign brands are better. D．William Li found a big difference between China and Europe in 1997. 4．Who did most of the research for this report? A．Credit Suisse. B．CCTV 9. C．South China Morning Post. D．Business Insider. 5．What’s the best title for this passage? A．Chinese products get more popular at home B．Young Chinese are crazy about foreign brands C．“Made in China” is welcomed all over the world D．Apple has lost large ground to Huawei in China Passage 9 （23-24九上·云南昆明石林鹿阜中学·期中） Here are three kinds of forms of Chinese art.

People use real money to buy Web money. Then they buy clothes for their online characters (人物形象) or services for their online pets with it. And these fancy things will cost QQ fans more in the future.    The government will put a tax (税) of 3% on online sales. For example, if QQ users pay 100 yuan for 110 QQ coins, they will have to spend 103 yuan in the future. The extra (额外的) three yuan is tax.    Beijing was the first city to carry out the policy. Online games have to pay the tax, too. A number of players make money by spending a lot of time on the games to gain powers (获得能量), and then selling them.    Experts said that online trade grow fast. There is more than 10 billion yuan of real money in online trade a year in China.    However, the government’s new move has become a hot topic (话题) among Internet users around the country. In a survey by sina.com more than 70% of about 3,000 surveyed were against it.

They join “Environment Clubs”. In an environment club, people work together to protect the environment. No-rubbish lunches. How much do you throw after lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be recycled. The students try their best to make less rubbish. No-car day. No-car day was first started by 34 cities in France on September 22nd, 1995. It was started to protect the environment. By now, more than 1,000 cities around the world have had a no-car day. In China, more and more people are taking part in the activity. The slogan for no-car day is, “If we drive for one less day, we can have one more nice day.” On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car—not the students and not the teachers! Cars give pollution to our air, so remember: Walk, jump, bike or run! Use your legs! It’s lots of fun! Turn off water! Do you know that some toilets could waste twenty to forty m3 of water an hour? In a year, that will fill a small river! In the environment club, the members mend those broken toilets. We have only one earth. Let’s work hard together to make our world cleaner and more beautiful. 1．What do the Environment Clubs ask students to do? A．To walk to school every day. B．To recycle their own lunch bags.

One of the things he discovered was money made of paper. People in the West did not have such kind of money until the 15th century. However the Chinese began to use it in the 7th century. Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2,000 years ago. But it was not made in Europe until the year 1100. Four hundred years later, a German discovered that he could make the best paper from trees. After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada, Sweden, America, Finland became the most important ones in paper making. Paper can be used in many ways. The common uses include newspapers, magazines and books. But do you know that paper can be used for keeping warm? In Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And even houses can be insulated (使绝缘) from heat or cold with paper. However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth someday in the near future. Every day people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down nearly 48,000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow. So we must start saving paper right now. We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cups instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some. In short, we should keep a balance between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late. 1．When did people in the West have paper money? A．In the 5th century. B．In the 13th century. C．In the 7th century. D．In the 15th century. 2．Why did America become an important country in paper making? A．Because it had a large population. B．Because it was a large country. C．Because it had lots of forests. D．Because it was a rich country. 3．What is paper used for in Finland? A．Keeping warm. B．Making newspaper. C．Reducing waste. D．Making books. 4．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Seventy trees are needed to make one ton of paper. B．Marco Polo found money made of paper in China. C．Used paper can not be used again. D．It takes five years for a tree to grow. 5．What’s the best title of this passage? A．Save Paper B．History of Making Paper C．Information of Paper D．The Use of Paper 主题01 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25九上·云南昆明市官渡区第一中学·期中） There are four important Spring Festival dishes in China.

The first great invention was one that is still very important today—the wheel (轮子). This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long ways. For hundreds of years after that, there were few inventions that had as much influences the wheel. Then in the early 1800s, the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore (探索) much any more. They began to work instead to make life better. In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today. The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions: the helicopter (直升飞机) in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1928, and jet planes (喷气式飞机) in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. By this time most people had a very good life. Man has a desire to explore again. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space. In 1969 man took his biggest step from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning thought. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of. 1．People didn’t explore the world ________.
