Time poverty can happen when study, work, or social duties take up too much of a person’s time, leaving little or no time for fun or personal interests. It can also happen when people feel like they are running out of time to reach their goals or finish tasks before the deadline (截止日期). Besides, we often say “yes” to any extra work. It could be to help your team or your friends. But by saying “yes” to everything, you are adding another task to an already full plate. ②People who don’s t have enough time fail to perform well at work and remain stressed. Too much stress can harm mental (心理的) health. Moreover, less quality (优质的) time with friends and family can make a person feel lonelier. So how can you stop being time poor? ③Manage your time properly. It may seem harmless to stay in bed till noon on weekends, but the time wasted every week can add up quickly if you don’t realize it. In order to make better use of your time, you can make careful plans before you actually spend it. Try to find out what things in your life are not that important for now and put them off. In this way, you can stick to your plan and focus better on your work. ④Make quality time a true value in your life. It’s important to focus on how you spend your time with someone or doing something. Train yourself to be more present in your life. That is to say, pay attention to one thing at a time. For example, when you are spending time with your family, be present and enjoy yourself rather than still worry about work. ⑤We are all given the same 24 hours each day. By managing your time properly and valuing quality time, you can make the most of your life and become the real owner of it. 1．What does the underlined word “poverty” mean in Paragraph 1?

Some people cry when they feel angry and some may shout. Unluckily, many of us have been used to hiding anger, A study suggests that this can have long-term bad influences on our health. Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry? The study points out that when we show our anger in this way, we can't probably get on well with our friends or our family. The more time we keep being angry, the worse result we’ll get. So how can we deal with our feeling of anger in a right way? First, know what anger is. Anger is often caused by feelings of being too afraid, disappointment and so on. Also, care more about those everyday things that will make us angry. For example, we may get angry in a long line at the store. Take a step back and think that it isn’t personal. Everyone in the line has dinner to make, just like us. Then we’ll feel better. Another way of dealing with anger is to talk about it. The study has shown that if we name our feelings, we can slowly calm ourselves down. Besides, take a deep breath or find some helpful exercise to do. Exercise helps deal with anger. Remember that how we act when we are angry can make things better or worse. If we learn to deal with anger we will be happier and healthier. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic in Paragraph 2? A．By asking a question. B．By telling a story. C．By giving an example.

Passage 3 (24-25九上·湖北枣阳） Zigong, in Sichuan Province is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lanterns are known as the best lanterns in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies, becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. “Making a huge lantern requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker,” Wan added. A special kind of lantern called Sundial, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, engineering, and holography (全息摄影术). They are a perfect all-in-one use of lights, sounds and movements. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that is designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries.

Manners have developed over thousands of years and are always changing. Around 100 years ago, children weren’t allowed to speak unless parents spoke to them first. Now young people can make their voices heard in many places. Manners also mean different things in different countries. Eating food loudly is considered quite impolite in some countries, but in others it’s a sign that people are enjoying their meal. What do you think, are manners important? Many old people think so. They believe kind words and actions are good to everyone. When someone has good manners, it shows they care about other people’s feelings and want them to be comfortable. In other words, well-mannered people make the world a happier place. Manners also help keep everyone healthy, which is why people should cover their mouths when they cough and keep dirty feet off seats. However, some young men don’t think so. They hold the idea that manners make people act in a way that doesn’t mean how they really feel. If someone says “thank you” or “sorry” when they don’t mean it, they’re not being polite. In Europe, manners were a way of showing how rich a person was, but does it really matter what type (类型) of knife people use to eat fish? As long as people are kind to others, they should be allowed to act how they like. 1．Why are the table manners mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．To introduce a story. B．To lead in the topic. C．To describe the writer’s experiences. D．To explain the meaning of them. 2．How is the passage developed? A．By making comparisons. B．In the order of time. C．By giving advice. D．In the order of space. 3．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．We need to care about others. B．Well-mannered people make us happy. C．Good manners are very important. D．You can be healthy with good manners. 4．What do some young people think of good manners? A．They are less important than being kind. B．They are very necessary. C．They make people more relaxed. D．They are easy to follow. 5．What can we know from the passage? A．Saying sorry certainly means being polite. B．Eating fish with a knife shows you’re rich. C．Coughing with the mouth covered is strange. D．Eating loudly can be good manners sometimes. Passage 2 (24-25九上·湖北襄阳襄州区·期末) Avoid giving certain flowers in RussiaBe careful when giving flowers to your friends or business partners in Russia.

Guests who arrive early or on time are viewed as being too eager (急切的). Always use a knife and fork in NorwayIn Norway, table manners are extremely important. Most food, including sandwiches, is eaten using utensils like knives and forks. Skip the tab in TurkeyWhen doing business in Turkey, it’s the custom for your host to pay for your meal.

After forming a bun at the back of her head, she would decorate (装饰) it with colourful flowers, the 34-year-old man recalled. All the women in the small fishing village of Xunpu in Quanzhou, Fujian province, decorated their hair this way. The colorful and unique (独一无二的) headdress is known as zanhuan or zanhuawei. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2008. As an old saying in Xunpu goes, “put flowers in your hair in this life and you will also be pretty in the afterlife.” In 2016, he and his older sister opened a salon where tourists could get their hair styled in the Xunpu tradition and have their photos taken. “We have been fully booked and now there are over 200 businesses offering services to dress tourists with a zanhua,” said Huang. After going through the full zanhua experience, Hu Titi, one of Huang’s customers, even brought zanhua culture to Paris in France last year. Under the Eiffel Tower, she shot photos and videos of herself dressed in traditional Chinese clothes with a zanhua in her hair. The increase in tourist visits has pleased Huang not only because it is good for his business but also because it has led to greater awareness of the history and culture behind zanhua headwear. “When people put a zanhua on their heads, they express their wish to look for happiness. The flowers are seen as a symbol of hope.” Huang said. 2．What did Huang Rongbing think of zanhua when he was a child?

As we know, movies play an important role in our lives nowadays. Many people love going to the movies or watching their favorite movies at home. Now let’s learn some important facts about movies. Movies started in the late 1800s. In the early days, they were just short little clips (电影片段) that only lasted a minute or two. People would go to movie theaters and watch one or two of these short clips. But as time went on, movies got longer and longer. Nowadays, most movies are about 2 hours long and, over the years, movies have become a lot more popular and exciting. Today, movies are a huge business. The most expensive movie ever cost (花费) over $300 million to produce! That’s a lot of money. Most movies, though, cost between 20 and 100 million dollars to make. Some movies are such a big hit that they make a ton of money at the box office (票房). The most successful movie of all time made over 2,700,000,000 dollars! That’s enough money to buy a private island. Some other movies, however, end up in total failure and lose a lot of money. A lot of work goes into making a movie. First, writers have to come up with a good story. Then, directors must tell that story using cameras, actors, and special effects (特技效果). Movies also need people to write the music and people to put everything together. It’s a big team project. Actors are also an important part of the movie. Many people want to be movie stars. They dream of being up on the big screen. A few actors have become famous and rich, making millions of dollars. But the movie business is also competitive, so quite many of them fail to stand out or make real progress. Movies are a big part of our culture. They bring us joy and excitement and have a way of touching our hearts. That’s why we say “the show must go on”— movies will always be a part of our lives. 1．How were the movies in the late 1800s different from the modern ones? A．They were shorter. B．They were louder. C．They were more popular. D．They were more exciting. 2．Why does the writer use the numbers in Paragraph 3? A．To show that movies are very popular. B．To show that movies are a huge business. C．To show that the movie business has a long history. D．To show that the movie business has a bright future. 3．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A．Stars. B．Directors. C．Actors. D．Movies. 4．Which of the following ideas may the writer agree with? A．Private islands are great places to make movies. B．A good movie needs a lot of people’s hard work. C．Most movies can make a lot of money at the box office. D．Directors are the most important people in making a movie. 5．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (①= Paragraph 1,②= Paragraph 2…) A． B． C． D． Passage 2 (24-25九上·湖北孝感汉川·期末) What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the exam? Right. A pen. The history of the pen is very long. A long time ago, people used sharp stones to make marks on things. Then, the ancient Egyptians made reed (芦苇) pens. They cut reeds and used them to write. Later, in China, people invented the writing brush. It feels soft and can write beautiful characters. In the Middle Ages in Europe, it was popular to used feathers (羽毛) of birds to write. And now, we have all kinds of pens like ballpoint pens (圆珠笔) and gel pens (中性笔). They are very convenient. Pens are widely used in many ways. Students use pens to do homework and take notes in class. Scientists use pens to record experiment results. Artists use special pens to draw pictures. Pens help us record knowledge and history. Because of pens, we can read many great works from different times. Pens also let us show our creativity. We can write our own thoughts and feelings. And when we write with a pen, it makes us think more. In the future, pens will be more amazing. With the development of science and technology, pens might have built-in cameras to record what we write and draw. Maybe they can change colors according to our feelings and correct our spelling mistakes right away. They will also connect to the Internet, helping search for information while writing. What’s more, they will be made of new materials that are environmentally friendly. Pens are not just simple tools. They are the most powerful instrument which we own.

Time poverty can happen when study, work, or social duties take up too much of a person’s time, leaving little or no time for fun or personal interests. It can also happen when people feel like they are running out of time to reach their goals or finish tasks before the deadline (截止日期). Besides, we often say “yes” to any extra work. It could be to help your team or your friends. But by saying “yes” to everything, you are adding another task to an already full plate. ②People who don’s t have enough time fail to perform well at work and remain stressed. Too much stress can harm mental (心理的) health. Moreover, less quality (优质的) time with friends and family can make a person feel lonelier. So how can you stop being time poor? ③Manage your time properly. It may seem harmless to stay in bed till noon on weekends, but the time wasted every week can add up quickly if you don’t realize it. In order to make better use of your time, you can make careful plans before you actually spend it. Try to find out what things in your life are not that important for now and put them off. In this way, you can stick to your plan and focus better on your work. ④Make quality time a true value in your life. It’s important to focus on how you spend your time with someone or doing something. Train yourself to be more present in your life. That is to say, pay attention to one thing at a time. For example, when you are spending time with your family, be present and enjoy yourself rather than still worry about work. ⑤We are all given the same 24 hours each day. By managing your time properly and valuing quality time, you can make the most of your life and become the real owner of it. 1．What does the underlined word “poverty” mean in Paragraph 1?

It’s a common feeling. Some people cry when they feel angry and some may shout. Unluckily, many of us have been used to hiding anger, A study suggests that this can have long-term bad influences on our health. Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry? The study points out that when we show our anger in this way, we can't probably get on well with our friends or our family. The more time we keep being angry, the worse result we’ll get. So how can we deal with our feeling of anger in a right way? First, know what anger is. Anger is often caused by feelings of being too afraid, disappointment and so on. Also, care more about those everyday things that will make us angry. For example, we may get angry in a long line at the store. Take a step back and think that it isn’t personal. Everyone in the line has dinner to make, just like us. Then we’ll feel better. Another way of dealing with anger is to talk about it. The study has shown that if we name our feelings, we can slowly calm ourselves down. Besides, take a deep breath or find some helpful exercise to do. Exercise helps deal with anger. Remember that how we act when we are angry can make things better or worse. If we learn to deal with anger we will be happier and healthier. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic in Paragraph 2? A．By asking a question. B．By telling a story. C．By giving an example.

D．Science. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国农历中的四个节气。 1．细节理解题。根据“The snowfall becomes heavier and covers the ground thicker. Rivers freeze, and it’s a great time for ice-skating.” 可知，人们可以在这一时期去滑冰。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据文中“This season brings the first dusting of snow, gently covering the ground with a white coat. It usually comes in November. The world seems quieter under its soft, white quilt.”可知，这个季节带来了第一场薄雪，轻轻地覆盖着白色的外衣。它通常出现在11月。在柔软的白色被子下面，世界似乎更安静了。由此推测出，划线词组“the first dusting of snow”意为“薄薄的一层雪”。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Winter Solstice (Dong Zhi) This is the day with the shortest daylight and longest night of the year. It is around December 22nd.” 可知，冬至是白天最短、夜晚最长的时期，大约在12月22日。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据文中“Start of Winter (Li Dong) It marks the official beginning of winter. It usually comes around November 7th or 8th. The weather gets colder, days become shorter. The temperatures drop. ” “ Light Snow (Xiao Xue) This season brings the first dusting of snow, gently covering the ground with a white coat. ” “ Heavy Snow (Da Xue) As the name suggests, heavy snow comes during this period. ”及“ Winter Solstice (Dong Zhi) This is the day with the shortest daylight and longest night of the year. ”可知，立冬标志着冬天正式开始。天气越来越冷，白天越来越短。温度下降。小雪这个季节带来了第一场薄雪，轻轻地覆盖着白色的外衣。和名字一样，大雪期间下大雪。冬至是一年中白昼最短、夜晚最长的一天。由此可知，四个节气都是关于雪和寒冷的天气。故选C。 5．推理判断题。主要介绍了中国农历中的四个节气，这些节气与中国传统文化紧密相关。因此，最有可能读到这篇文章的是杂志的“文化”部分。故选B。 Passage 3 (24-25九上·湖北枣阳） Zigong, in Sichuan Province is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lanterns are known as the best lanterns in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies, becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. “Making a huge lantern requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker,” Wan added. A special kind of lantern called Sundial, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, engineering, and holography (全息摄影术). They are a perfect all-in-one use of lights, sounds and movements. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that is designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future. 1．Which of the following poets could probably enjoy Zigong lanterns? A．Cao Cao. B．Li Bai. C．Tao Yuanming.

Manners have developed over thousands of years and are always changing. Around 100 years ago, children weren’t allowed to speak unless parents spoke to them first. Now young people can make their voices heard in many places. Manners also mean different things in different countries. Eating food loudly is considered quite impolite in some countries, but in others it’s a sign that people are enjoying their meal. What do you think, are manners important? Many old people think so. They believe kind words and actions are good to everyone. When someone has good manners, it shows they care about other people’s feelings and want them to be comfortable. In other words, well-mannered people make the world a happier place. Manners also help keep everyone healthy, which is why people should cover their mouths when they cough and keep dirty feet off seats. However, some young men don’t think so. They hold the idea that manners make people act in a way that doesn’t mean how they really feel. If someone says “thank you” or “sorry” when they don’t mean it, they’re not being polite. In Europe, manners were a way of showing how rich a person was, but does it really matter what type (类型) of knife people use to eat fish? As long as people are kind to others, they should be allowed to act how they like. 1．Why are the table manners mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．To introduce a story. B．To lead in the topic. C．To describe the writer’s experiences. D．To explain the meaning of them. 2．How is the passage developed? A．By making comparisons. B．In the order of time. C．By giving advice. D．In the order of space. 3．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．We need to care about others. B．Well-mannered people make us happy. C．Good manners are very important. D．You can be healthy with good manners. 4．What do some young people think of good manners? A．They are less important than being kind. B．They are very necessary. C．They make people more relaxed. D．They are easy to follow. 5．What can we know from the passage? A．Saying sorry certainly means being polite. B．Eating fish with a knife shows you’re rich. C．Coughing with the mouth covered is strange. D．Eating loudly can be good manners sometimes. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了不同国家的礼仪可能不同，以及人们对于“讲礼貌是否重要”的不同看法。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Manners have developed over thousands of years and are always changing.”并通读全文可推知，第一段提到餐桌礼仪是为了引出本文的主题。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Many old people think so.”和最后一段中的“However, some young men don’t think so.”可推知，这篇文章是通过比较不同的观点进行叙述的。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“What do you think, are manners important?”和第三段中的“Many old people think so.”及本段内容可知，第三段主要讲述了礼貌很重要。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“As long as people are kind to others, they should be allowed to act how they like.”可推知，一些年轻人认为礼貌不如善良重要。故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Eating food loudly is considered quite impolite in some countries, but in others it’s a sign that people are enjoying their meal.”可推知，大声吃饭有时是有礼貌的。故选D。 Passage 2 (24-25九上·湖北襄阳襄州区·期末) Avoid giving certain flowers in RussiaBe careful when giving flowers to your friends or business partners in Russia.

After going through the full zanhua experience, Hu Titi, one of Huang’s customers, even brought zanhua culture to Paris in France last year. Under the Eiffel Tower, she shot photos and videos of herself dressed in traditional Chinese clothes with a zanhua in her hair. The increase in tourist visits has pleased Huang not only because it is good for his business but also because it has led to greater awareness of the history and culture behind zanhua headwear. “When people put a zanhua on their heads, they express their wish to look for happiness.

What kinds of movies do you like most? As we know, movies play an important role in our lives nowadays. Many people love going to the movies or watching their favorite movies at home. Now let’s learn some important facts about movies. Movies started in the late 1800s. In the early days, they were just short little clips (电影片段) that only lasted a minute or two. People would go to movie theaters and watch one or two of these short clips. But as time went on, movies got longer and longer. Nowadays, most movies are about 2 hours long and, over the years, movies have become a lot more popular and exciting. Today, movies are a huge business. The most expensive movie ever cost (花费) over $300 million to produce! That’s a lot of money. Most movies, though, cost between 20 and 100 million dollars to make. Some movies are such a big hit that they make a ton of money at the box office (票房). The most successful movie of all time made over 2,700,000,000 dollars! That’s enough money to buy a private island. Some other movies, however, end up in total failure and lose a lot of money. A lot of work goes into making a movie. First, writers have to come up with a good story. Then, directors must tell that story using cameras, actors, and special effects (特技效果). Movies also need people to write the music and people to put everything together. It’s a big team project. Actors are also an important part of the movie. Many people want to be movie stars. They dream of being up on the big screen. A few actors have become famous and rich, making millions of dollars. But the movie business is also competitive, so quite many of them fail to stand out or make real progress. Movies are a big part of our culture. They bring us joy and excitement and have a way of touching our hearts. That’s why we say “the show must go on”— movies will always be a part of our lives. 1．How were the movies in the late 1800s different from the modern ones? A．They were shorter. B．They were louder. C．They were more popular. D．They were more exciting. 2．Why does the writer use the numbers in Paragraph 3? A．To show that movies are very popular. B．To show that movies are a huge business. C．To show that the movie business has a long history. D．To show that the movie business has a bright future. 3．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A．Stars. B．Directors. C．Actors. D．Movies. 4．Which of the following ideas may the writer agree with? A．Private islands are great places to make movies. B．A good movie needs a lot of people’s hard work. C．Most movies can make a lot of money at the box office. D．Directors are the most important people in making a movie. 5．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (①= Paragraph 1,②= Paragraph 2…) A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，内容涉及电影的发展历史、电影产业的经济情况、电影制作的流程和要素等。 1．细节理解题。根据“Movies started in the late 1800s. In the early days, they were just short little clips (电影片段) that only lasted a minute or two.”可知，电影起源于19世纪晚期，在早期，它们只是一两分钟的短片。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Today, movies are a huge business.”可知，第三段中的数字是为了说明电影是一项巨大的产业。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Actors are also an important part of the movie…But the movie business is also competitive, so quite many of them fail to stand out or make real progress.”可知，演员也是电影的重要组成部分，但电影行业也充满了竞争，所以相当多的演员未能脱颖而出或取得真正的进步。故此处的“them”指演员。故选C。 4．观点态度题。根据“It’s a big team project.”可知，作者指出，制作一部电影需要投入大量的工作。编剧必须想出一个好的故事，导演必须使用相机、演员和特效来讲述这个故事，还需要有人来创作音乐，以及有人来把所有元素整合在一起，这是一个大型的团队项目。故选B。 5．篇章结构题。通读全文，文章第一段通过提问“你喜欢看电影吗？你最喜欢哪种类型的电影？”引出话题，第二段讲述了电影的起源与发展，第三段介绍电影的商业属性，第四段和第五段介绍电影制作过程，包括演员与电影的关系，第六段总结电影在文化中的地位。故选C。 Passage 2 (24-25九上·湖北孝感汉川·期末) What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the exam?

They cut reeds and used them to write.”可知后来古埃及人制造了芦苇笔；根据“Later, in China, people invented the writing brush.”可知后来在中国，人们发明了毛笔；根据“In the Middle Ages in Europe, it was popular to used feathers (羽毛) of birds to write.”可知后来在中世纪的欧洲，用鸟的羽毛写字很流行；根据“And now, we have all kinds of pens like ballpoint pens (圆珠笔) and gel pens (中性笔).”可知现在我们有了各种各样的笔，比如圆珠笔和中性笔。所以选项B的顺序正确，故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Pens are widely used in many ways. Students use pens to do homework and take notes in class. Scientists use pens to record experiment results. Artists use special pens to draw pictures. Pens help us record knowledge and history.
