Since it became a huge hit on TV and online, the topic of living in the city or in the country has brought great discussion among the public. Although these two types of living differ from each other by environment, job opportunities (机会) and cost of living, they have something in common such as daily routine (日常事务), values, and people living and working in these areas. Everyone has a different lifestyle. Their choices depend on their ages, jobs, hometowns and so on. What are young people’s choices? Here is some voice from all over the world. Jeyong, Korea I like living in cities more than the country because I like the crowdedness of people all busy walking around. Being with many people and talking to new people are something that I love very much. Amanda, England Well, I’ve lived in very big cities: Tokyo, Bangkok, and Los Angeles. Now it is the first time ever that I’ve lived in the countryside. I’m finding that I like it a lot better. I have time to do things that I could never do in the city, like playing the guitar or even reading news. I’m enjoying a peaceful lifestyle a lot more than the busy city life. Martin, America I grew up on a very small farm in the country. I enjoyed the clean air and the wild life around but it was boring. The city is much more exciting and has a lot more to do, see and experience. So generally speaking, the city is the way to go for me. Byran, Canada I think that living in the city would be so much better than living in the country. I like being active, and I like going out. So for me, living in the country would be boring. So what about Chinese people? Since 2022, the world “livable city” have got increasing popularity on Xiaohongshu, China’s biggest lifestyle- sharing platform. A survey was even carried out among young people. Report on young people’s choices of cities to live in. Which city do you think is the most livable city? Factors (因素) to consider: Categories (类别) Examples Life Languages, food, natural condition, local customs... Economy (经济) Housing price, job opportunities, the cost of living... Infrastructure (基础设施) Transportation, hospitals, schools... What do you think is the most important factor to consider? 1．What are the common things between the city life and the countryside life? 2．What does Amanda think of living in the countryside? 3．Which category of factors do young people consider most when choosing a city to live in? 4．What are the top three most livable cities according to the report? 5．What do you think is the most important factor when you choose where to live?

Teens invited students to write stories based on (根据) a set of keywords—“Jackson”, “growing flowers”, “cactus (仙人掌)” and “yard”. At the same time, AI also created stories based on the same keywords. As you read through the stories, you can see the creativity of both the students and AI. A student’s work: Seeing many flowers on his way home, Jackson went to a shop and bought a lot of flowers to plant in his yard. “They’re lovely,” he thought. However, that didn’t include the old cactus which was just a gift. After planting the flowers, Jackson left the cactus alone. A few days later, he went back to the yard but only found dead flowers. To his surprise, the cactus blossomed (开花) brightly. The cactus is simple but brave to keep its beauty. It is admirable. Never imagine what a life can be like. It may hold many possibilities. Fang Ruihao, 14, Tianjin AI’s work: Jackson loved growing flowers in his yard. He had roses and sunflowers, but one day, he bought a small cactus. “A cactus? In a flower garden?” his neighbors laughed. But Jackson didn’t mind. He placed the cactus in the center of his yard and cared for it every day. A storm hit the town, killing many flowers. But the cactus stood tall. The next morning, a small flower bloomed on the cactus. Jackson’s neighbors were amazed. Jackson smiled, knowing his cactus taught everyone a valuable lesson: True beauty and force often come from ourselves. Fang Ruihao: AI’s story is a bit like mine. What a surprise! I think it may be better by adding a storm to the passage. This makes the story more lively. Know moreHave you heard of AI chips (芯片)?

This has influenced people’s lifestyles. They cut down things to only leave the basics and live a simple but comfortable life. ◇Why do people want to sell their things?

After that, Anhui opera started to learn from other local operas and folk art and finally developed into its present form. The time from 1840 to 1860 was considered as the formation (形成) of Beijing Opera and from 1883 to 1918, Beijing Opera was improved to a new level. The time after 1917 has seen its golden age. Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo and Chou are five types of roles of Beijing Opera. Among them, “Four Famous Dan Actors” with Mei Lanfang heading the list are well-known in China. Mei Lanfang (1894-1961) At the age of eight, he started training in Beijing Opera. When he was 17, he raised pigeons (鸽子) and trained them to fly high. Every day Mei watched them as they flew, which helped him to develop the eye movements that were so important to his art. His hard work and dedication (奉献) made him a leading artist in Beijing Opera. Today, Beijing Opera is playing an important role in improving cultural communication between the West and the East, and introducing and spreading traditional Chinese art. In 2010, Beijing Opera reached its moment of honor. It was included in UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. However, Beijing Opera also faces some problems. The younger generation has little interest in Beijing Opera. Besides, with the development of modern science and technology, people have more ways to enjoy themselves.

But, while it might seem that homework has made students stressed since it appeared, it has a special purpose in its history. Why was homework invented? Public schools appeared about 150 to 200 years ago. At that time, children didn’t spend much time in school. They were expected to help with housework. As the Industrial Revolution (工业革命) provided new jobs which required more working skills, students were taught subjects which were more difficult. It was impossible for students to learn everything by just paying attention in class. That was probably why teachers invented homework. The development of society has made homework part of the modern education system (体系). Is homework good or bad? There are few reasons which can be named against homework. The only situation where homework is harmful is when there is too much of it. Except for that, homework is useful in every way. Children nowadays deal with lots of information every day. They can get any kind of information within seconds. But this may cause them to get used to satisfying their need without making an effort. They may have difficulty facing the challenges in the future, because anything really great will require them to put in a lot of hard work. Homework sometimes is difficult and boring, but it is one of the best tools educators have to teach students how to think and develop good habits. That is the main reason why it remains part of every school. What can homework bring students?▶A better memory and thinking ability ▶A chance to review what they have learned ▶Good study habits 1．When did public schools appear? 2．Who invented homework? 3．According to the passage, what has made homework part of the modern education system? 4．How can students face the challenges in the future? 5．How many advantages of doing homework are mentioned? 6．What do you think of doing homework?

Passage 6 （23-24九年级上·山西忻州·期中）请阅读下面短文，按要求完成所给任务。 When someone wants to have a new life, he is willing to make some changes in his life. Actually, tiny changes can make one’s life different. Those tiny changes are more easily put into action. The small changes we achieve can also give us more confidence to achieve the big goals. The good results we get from the small change can bring us a sense of success. Once a behavior has been developed into a habit, we are more likely to do it unconsciously (无意识地). So start with small goals. That’s a wiser way to achieve the big goal. Scott To start with, I tried to read five to ten pages of the book every day, which is boring but really useful. Now I have been used to reading every day. That will be a lifelong habit. George To lose weight, I set just some small goals at a time. Now I'm about 10 pounds lighter and I have developed some healthy habits that will last for a lifetime.

As the Industrial Revolution (工业革命) provided new jobs which required more working skills, students were taught subjects which were more difficult.

As we all know, the Start of Winter usually falls on the 7th or 8th November each year, but it’s on 8th this year. In this solar term (节气), water begins to freeze and the earth begins to harden. Farmers have already stored their autumn crops. Animals have already prepared food for winter. People who have worked hard for a year should reward (犒劳) themselves that day. The doctor Zhang Zhongjing invented a kind of special medicine to save the patients whose ears were injured (受伤的) in the cold weather. He made mutton, hot peppers and herbs (药草) into an ear shape to warm up the body. Since then, people have learned to make the food, it was called “dumpling” or “jiaozi”. Today there is still a saying that goes, “Eat dumplings on the Start of Winter Day, or your ears will be injured.” Food • Eating dumplings in the north After the Start of Winter, the temperature begins to drop rapidly and the weather starts to be cold and dry. People in the north all need to eat something special to keep warm. Dumplings are one of them. Activity • Welcoming the arriving of winter Before the Start of Winter, the ancient emperor would take a shower and have no more meat. On that day, the emperor would lead his hundreds of ministers (大臣) to take part in the activity of “welcoming the arriving of winter”. In fact, the Starts of the four seasons are important festivals in ancient times. They are the Start of Spring, the Start of Summer, the Start of Autumn and the Start of Winter. They lead the 24 solar terms. Now they still guide Chinese in everyday life and are passed down from generation to generation. 1．What does the Start of Winter mean? 2．How long does the Start of Winter last for this year? 3．Why is the fact Zhang Zhongjing invented dumplings mentioned (提及)? 4．Please translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. 5．How would the ancient emperor welcome the arriving of winter before the Start of Winter? 6．Which is your favorite solar term? Why? 【答案】1．The beginning of winter. 2．(For) 14 days. 3．To show us why we eat dumplings on the Start of Winter./To tell us we should eat dumplings to keep warm on the Start of Winter./To tell us the invention of dumplings./Because the writer wants to tell us the reason/why we eat dumplings on the Start of Winter. 4．立冬不端饺子碗，冻掉耳朵没人管。/立冬吃饺子，否则耳朵会受伤。 5．He would take a shower and have no more meat. 6．The Start of spring. Because it means new hope./Because a year’s plan starts with spring. 【导语】文章主要介绍了立冬的含义、日期以及在这个节气中的自然现象，如水面开始结冰、土地变硬。同时，讲述了古代人们在立冬时的习俗，如农民储存秋粮、动物准备冬粮以及人们犒劳自己。此外，还介绍了张仲景医生发明的用于保暖的“饺子”起源，以及立冬后的饮食和活动习俗，如北方吃饺子和古代皇帝带领大臣举行的迎冬活动。最后，提到了立冬作为古代四大节气之一的重要性，并指出它们至今仍在中国人的日常生活中起着指导作用。 1．根据文章首句“Do you know the Start of Winter? It means the beginning of winter.”可知，立冬意味着冬天的开始。故填The beginning of winter. 2．由于文中提到“the Start of Winter usually falls on the 7th or 8th November each year, but it’s on 8th this year”，说明今年的立冬从11月8日开始。而下一个节气小雪通常在11月22日左右，因此可以推断出今年的立冬大约持续14天左右（从11月8日到11月22日前后）。故填(For) 14 days. 3．根据文章中的“The doctor Zhang Zhongjing invented a kind of special medicine to save the patients whose ears were injured in the cold weather. He made mutton, hot peppers and herbs into an ear shape to warm up the body. Since then, people have learned to make the food, it was called ‘dumpling’ or ‘jiaozi’.”可知，张仲景发明了饺子是为了帮助那些在寒冷天气中耳朵受伤的病人，并且从此以后人们开始制作并食用饺子。而文章接下来提到“Today there is still a saying that goes, ‘Eat dumplings on the Start of Winter Day, or your ears will be injured.’”这句话进一步解释了为什么人们在立冬吃饺子。故填To show us why we eat dumplings on the Start of Winter./To tell us we should eat dumplings to keep warm on the Start of Winter./To tell us the invention of dumplings./Because the writer wants to tell us the reason/why we eat dumplings on the Start of Winter. 4．原文中的句子是“Today there is still a saying that goes, ‘Eat dumplings on the Start of Winter Day, or your ears will be injured.’”，这句话的意思是“今天仍然有一句谚语说：‘立冬吃饺子，否则耳朵会受伤。’”或者更富有文学色彩地翻译为“立冬不端饺子碗，冻掉耳朵没人管。”这句话体现了中国传统文化中立冬吃饺子的习俗以及与之相关的民间信仰。故填：立冬不端饺子碗，冻掉耳朵没人管。/立冬吃饺子，否则耳朵会受伤。 5．根据文章中的“Before the Start of Winter, the ancient emperor would take a shower and have no more meat.”可知，在古代，皇帝在立冬之前会洗澡并且不再吃肉来迎接冬天的到来。故填He would take a shower and have no more meat。 6．这是一个开放性问题，答案因人而异。但可以根据文章内容和常识来回答。例如，可以选择“The Start of Spring”作为最喜欢的节气，因为春天代表着新的开始和希望。正如人们常说的“一年之计在于春”。当然，也可以根据自己的喜好和经历选择其他节气，并给出相应的理由。故填The Start of spring. Because it means new hope./Because a year’s plan starts with spring.

Actually, tiny changes can make one’s life different. Those tiny changes are more easily put into action. The small changes we achieve can also give us more confidence to achieve the big goals. The good results we get from the small change can bring us a sense of success. Once a behavior has been developed into a habit, we are more likely to do it unconsciously (无意识地). So start with small goals. That’s a wiser way to achieve the big goal. Scott To start with, I tried to read five to ten pages of the book every day, which is boring but really useful. Now I have been used to reading every day. That will be a lifelong habit. George To lose weight, I set just some small goals at a time. Now I'm about 10 pounds lighter and I have developed some healthy habits that will last for a lifetime. On the other hand, by making small changes, we may ask ourselves “How can I use this process for the bigger thing that I want?” and then keep on going, especially when we find those changes can make us feel the power to make positive (积极的) changes. Atomic Habits will tell you how to change your habits and get 1% better every day. This Book Will Teach You How to... ◆Break your bad habits and stick to good ones. ◆Avoid the common mistakes most people make when changing habits. ◆Overcome a lack of willpower. ◆Make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy). ◆And most importantly, how to put these ideas into practice in real life. ◆… “Atomic Habits was a great read. I learned a lot and think it’ll be helpful to a lot of people.” Gayle King “A special book that will change how you approach your day and live your life.” Ryan Holiday Start with a small decision. This may reshape the way you think about progress and success. Who knows how far we will go in the end? 1．Why should we change from the tiny ones? (One point is OK.) 2．Why do the small changes we achieve give us more confidence to achieve the big goals? 3．What advantages have both Scott and George got from small changes?

Passage 7 （23-24九年级上·山西吕梁·期中）请阅读下面的非连续性文本，根据语篇内容，按要求完成所给任务，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 Last year, the learning difficulties clinic (门诊部) at the Children’s Hospital of Fudan University in Shanghai caught people’s attention. A parent noticed it and posted its photo on the Internet. The photo soon led to a heated discussion among people. In fact, the learning difficulties clinic has been open since September 2020 in the hospital. A doctor said, “We are receiving a growing number of cases of poor relationships between parents and children. Most of them have to do with children’s schoolwork.” “If there had been such a clinic during my childhood, I would not be making a living by driving a taxi now.” —Lin Hua “I’ve tried really hard but still can’t do well in math. I’d better go to the clinic to get help.” —Li Jia Most parents think that their children’s laziness is the cause of their poor grades. They seldom realize that their children may have learning disabilities. Learning disabilities can be hard to identify (鉴别), but there are some signs of them. ●Late in talking Many one-year-olds can say a few words quite clearly. If a child can’t say simple words like “Mom” and “No” when he or she is over two years old, it is time to see a doctor. ●Poor handwriting Children with learning disabilities may have trouble writing down their thoughts, spelling words correctly or using proper grammar. ●______ Commonly, people have better memories when they are young.
