专题05 阅读理解（议论文） 主题01 人与社会——青少年问题 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·佛山南海中学·期末） We’ll finally grow up someday, leaving our parents and facing the challenges (挑战) in life. Parents may not be able to solve every problem for us. Instead, we should have enough life skills to deal with the problems that come our way. This is what our country tries to do now: Helping more students gain working spirit. To stress the importance of hardworking spirit education (劳动教育) among students of different ages. The government released (发布) a guideline (纲要) recently.                 The guideline calls for students to respect work. Students should learn basic life skills and form good working habits through such education. The government has been trying to stress the importance of hardworking spirit education. But this has been overlooked in recent years. Many teens do not value the importance of working hard and are uninterested in doing so. According to a study of nearly 3,000 students that was done by Evening News, only 22 percent of primary and middle school students help with everyday housework. Schools and families play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard, the guideline says. Primary and middle schools should provide students with hardworking spirit classes every week, according to the guideline. Schools can also hold activities to give students real-world work experience. For example, schools can teach children how to plant trees on Tree-Planting Day. As children’s first teachers, parents should also encourage children to learn how to do housework. Students should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms. 1．The guideline was released in order to _________. A．teach students how to do housework B．call for students to respect work C．help students solve life problems D．ask students to face the challenges 2．What does the underlined word “overlooked” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．证实 B．关注 C．查看 D．忽略 3．What is Paragraph 5 trying to tell us? A．Only 3000 students help with housework. B．Students pay no attention to work spirit. C．About one-fifth of students help with housework. D．Students are very dependent on their parents. 4．According to the guideline, schools should ________ . A．provide both guidance (指导) and chances for real work B．hand out the guideline to every student C．teach students how to plant trees D．give parents homework 5．The article mainly tells us _________. A．the government calls for students to work hard B．schools should help students gain work experience C．students should be hard-working and independent D．hardworking spirit education is important and what we should do Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·广州市黄广中学·期末） If you’re working to become better or hoping to make a change, you’ll probably hear your family and friends say “go big or go home’’. They think you should set high expectations. But is it really good? Having high expectations could be good. It can motivate you. When you have high expectations for something, you’ll probably try your best to make them come true. For example, if you believe that you can get an A in a test, you will probably spend a lot of time working on it. Also, when you start meeting your expectations, you’ll set even higher expectations for yourself. Besides, having high expectations on yourself doesn’t only do you good. It will make a difference to others. But if your expectations are too high to realize, it can be bad. Having high expectations can sometimes lead to mind problems, such as worry and unhappiness. The findings of a study showed that some students were under serious stress because they wanted to be perfect. Great expectations can also let you down. This is especially true when you set expectations on other people whose actions you cannot control. For example, if you’re feeling alone and you call up your friends, you surely expect them to make you feel better. When this fails to happen, you will feel down and unsatisfied with your friends. To avoid this situation, you should set your expectations realistically (切合实际地). It is hard to manage expectations, but the main thing is to set a more realistic and achievable expectation. 6．What do your family and friends want you to do when they say “go big or go home” ? A．To cheer others up. B．To go home at once. C．To set high expectations. D．To spend a lot of time with them. 7．Why were some students under serious stress? A．Their family didn’t support them. B．Their study results were terrible. C．Their friends didn’t care about them. D．Their expectations are too high to realize. 8．How can you avoid feeling down when setting expectations on others? A．By calling up your friends. B．By controlling their actions. C．By making others feel better. D．By setting your expectations realistically. 9．What is the best title for the text? A．Right views on Setting Expectations. B．Valuable Advice on Realizing Expectations. C．Possible Reasons for Meeting Expectations. D．Serious Problems in Achieving Expectations. Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·广州番禺外国语学校·期末） During the past one hundred years, there have been many inventions (发明物) that make our life much easier and more interesting. TV is one of them. Many people enjoy watching TV for fun. Some even believe that TV has made their children clever because there are all kinds of information on it—news, sports, music and language. Children can learn a lot from TV in a short time without going out. Many parents are happy about this because they themselves are too busy to spend time with their children. But we have found that more and more children today have problems with reading, thinking and concentrating (集中注意力) even though they have watched a lot of TV. In fact, getting much information from TV does not mean real learning. Children who watch too much TV do not have enough time to think. What children need most is their parents. Parents give children love, and help them solve problems in the right way. We should teach our children what real life is without TV. 10．Why do many people enjoy watching TV? A．To have fun. B．To learn something. C．To make money. D．To finish their work. 11．What does the writer think of TV? A．It takes away children’s chance to think. B．It gives useful advice on becoming better parents. C．It does not give enough information to people today. D．It has been the most important invention of the past one hundred years. 12．From the last paragraph, we know ________ can help children solve problems in the right way. A．friends B．TV C．parents D．radio 13．What can we infer from the passage? A．People in the future will spend more time on TV. B．Children should learn more from their parents than from TV. C．Students who watch TV are cleverer than students who do not. D．Watching TV is a good way for children to understand real life. 主题02 人与社会——教育 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·广州市为明学校·期末） Do Kids Need Homework? School is a big part of life, not just for kids but for their families. There are many reports and discussions about what’s best for students. Everyone has their own opinions. And they don’t always agree. Do kids need homework? It depends. Some readers from a famous magazine think that the extra (额外的) work reviews what they have learnt in class. And it also helps teachers find where students need more help. Others say homework adds to students’ stress and takes time away from exercise or learning something new. In order to know what kind of homework kids should do and how much kids need, the magazine interviewed several kids. Karen, 9 Kids need homework. When they learn something new in school, reviewing it at home helps them remember it. Our homework gives our teachers valuable information. It tells them how much students are paying attention in class and who needs extra help. Michael, 9 In my opinion, giving students homework is a bad idea. After school, kids need experiences that build a healthy mind and body. Homework is not supposed to stress kids out. When there is too much homework, students do poorly in homework. In fact, doing homework poorly is worse than doing no homework. As long as students are working hard in class, it’s best not to give them extra work. Robert, 8 Kids need homework. But that depends. Middle and high school students can do more homework. At my school, primary students get homework, but not too much. My teacher might ask us to learn spelling words at home, and each week we’ll be given a test. Susan, 11 Kids don’t need homework. They’re learning for six hours a day at school. Adding another hour of work for kids to do at home is just having them repeat what they’ve been doing all day. Besides, homework takes time away from activities like team sports. These are just as important as schoolwork, because they keep kids active. 1．What did the magazine do about homework? A．It had a discussion. B．It did a report. C．It did an interview. 2．Who supports the idea of giving students homework? A．Karen. B．Michael. C．Susan. 3．What will happen when homework is too much according to Paragraph 4? A．Students will do no homework. B．Students will do homework poorly. C．Students will build a healthy mind and body. 4．What does “These” refer to (指代) in the last paragraph? A．Kids. B．Subjects. C．Activities like team sports. Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·深圳亚迪学校·期末） Do you think high school students should read classic works of literature? Lilian: We lack understanding in life, so it’s likely that we may have difficulty understanding the deeper meanings under the surface of the classics. But this shouldn’t be a reason to give up reading classics. As Francis Bacon said, “Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.” Harry: Classics are the treasures our ancestors left us. We have the duty to read them and pass them down through the generations. As the old Chinese saying goes, “One who is filled with knowledge always behaves with elegance.” Famous books can cultivate students’ cultural literacy (素养) and arouse their interest in culture. Linda: Without background and life experience, students can’t resonate with authors from previous eras. What’s more, partly due to the writers’ outdated ways of thinking, there might be some misunderstandings. While reading, some students mainly focus on words and expressions without carefully reflecting on them. For this reason, reading classics might be a waste of time. Dale: For one thing, not all classics are suitable for all students, as there are many complex expressions and deep ideas. For another, some classics have unique writing styles, but they may be too difficult for students to understand. If students are asked to read these classics, they probably won’t be able to understand them. 5．Both Lilian and Harry explain their ideas by ________. A．giving a quote B．listing examples C．showing numbers D．making comparisons 6．Linda thinks reading classics might be a waste of time because ________. A．the authors lived in different countries B．students prefer to read about life experiences C．students might be too focused on words and expressions D．most of the ideas in the classics are just misunderstandings of the world 7．Which of the following ideas might Dale agree with? A．Many classics are specially written for students. B．It’s hard for students to understand some writers’ styles. C．Students don’t have the ability to read literary works. D．Some writers of classics were thinking in an old-fashioned way. 8．What’s the discussion mainly about? A．How literary classics go out of style. B．Why students should take part in reading competitions. C．How high schools should help students develop cultural literacy. D．Whether high school students should read literary classics. Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·广州天省实验学校学·期末） Recently, the AI chatbot (聊天机器人) ChatGPT has become popular. Many people, with the experience of communicating with it, would be deeply influenced by the robot. However, when it comes to education, some students hold different opinions about whether ChatGPT is offering help or making things worse. Tom: In my opinion, ChatGPT has helped me in many ways, from giving cooking advice to writing emails, but I’ve never tried to use it in my education. It can collect enough information for us, but we are sometimes not sure whether the information is correct. Also, depending on it to do our homework will just make us stop thinking. Tim: Whether ChatGPT is good or bad for education, I believe that it all depends on how students use it. If students use it to help them better understand certain knowledge that teachers may not explain carefully in class, I think it can really help. However, if ChatGPT is simply used for homework or cheating on exams, I think it will do no good. Jerry: I think ChatGPT is terrible for education. This is because it’s clever enough to allow lazy and hardworking people to achieve the same level (水平) of excellence with the same level of education. This makes students who should work hard become lazy. 9．What are the three students talking about? A．What is ChatGPT good for? B．What can ChatGPT do for students? C．Why do students need to use ChatGPT? D．Should ChatGPT be used in education? 10．What has Tom never used ChatGPT to do? A．Get cooking advice. B．Write emails. C．Do his homework. D．Collect information. 11．What does Jerry think of ChatGPT? A．It can make people become lazy. B．It can make people become clever. C．It can help students cheat on exams. D．It can help students with knowledge. Passage 4 （24-25九年级上·广州香江中学·期末） Starting with this fall term, students in primary and middle schools will have at least one course every week on basic household skills such as cleaning and cooking, according to a new curriculum standard (课程标准) for labor education in compulsory (义务的) education made by the government. Should household skills be made compulsory at schools? Michael: By learning basic skills like cooking, cleaning and maintaining home appliances (家用电器), children can learn how to take care of themselves and live independently. Parents won’t always be there to help their children with every problem they’ll meet in their lives. They need to learn new things, make mistakes, solve problems and grow from their experiences. It is necessary for children to learn these important lifesaving skills as early as possible. Jade: There are only limited hours in a school day. With all the required classes, there is not enough time for household courses. I think it is something that parents need to do at home with their children, helping them around the house with cooking, cleaning, washing, planting, etc. Remember school can’t teach your children everything. They need you, too! Ben: Household courses should be made optional (可选择的) for students. They should be given the choice to take whatever they like. If one wants to cook dishes, he or she is welcome. But it should not be made compulsory and forced onto every student. Maria: I learned some basic cooking skills from my mother, but most of them were learned after I graduated from college, from cooking books and online short videos. Household skills like cooking are much more useful than a lot of what is taught in schools, but it does require some fully equipped (配备齐全的) kitchens. I hope these classes will benefit (使受益) students and not be seen as window dressing. 12．What does Jade think of household courses? A．They should be made optional. B．They are good for students’ growth. C．They can help children develop their interests. D．They should be taught by parents at home. 13．What does the underlined word “window dressing” probably mean? A．good look but not clever B．good form but not realizable (可做成的) C．good taste but not healthy D．good style but not popular 14．What’s the purpose of this passage? A．To tell parents the importance of household courses B．To introduce something about household courses C．To encourage students to study household courses D．To show different ideas about household courses 主题03 人与自我——意见/建议 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·广州思源学校·期末） As people say, you can’t change the environment, but you can change your own. You can’t change the facts, but you can change attitudes (态度). You can’t control other people, but you can be master of your own. You can’t do everything well, but you can be careful with everything. You can’t control the weather, but you can change your mood. You can’t choose what you look like, but you can show a smile. One key to success lies in his or her mind. There are some differences between winners and losers. Winners always think troubles and difficulties are caused by personal ability and experience. They would like to improve and develop in the right direction. While losers will blame on the opportunity (机会), and the environment injustice (不公). They always complain, wait and give up. In many cases, a humble (出身卑微的) person looks down upon his own. A person’s appearance and his family may not be changed, but he can control the spirit of the will of his own at least. If he can’t deal with the mind, how can he deal with more difficult things? No matter what the situation is, a person’s attitude is very important. Emerson said, “A move toward their goals is always people who gave him the whole world to give way.” On the contrary (相反), failure is not because we do not have the strength, but because we can’t stick to ourselves, and always follow others’ examples. We should believe the strength of mind, and change our attitude when we face disappointments (失望) in life. I believe the power of mind, and now it’s up to you to make the final decision. 1．Although people can’t do everything well, they can choose to ________. A．be master of their own B．control other people C．change the environment D．be careful with everything 2．The differences between winners and losers are ________. A．their chances B．their families C．their minds D．their jobs 3．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Follow Other’s Examples B．Believe the Power of Mind C．Have Your Strength D．Improve the Environment Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·惠州市博罗中学·期末） Lots of us young people experience home-life as if it were a cradle (摇篮). Meals are cooked and clothes are washed as if by magic! We cannot wash clothes or cook a meal. We don’t clean the floor, sort (分类) the garbage, cut the meat, chop (剁碎) the vegetables... Yes, we are “grown-up babies” in cradles. But we cannot stay in the cradles forever. Everybody needs to prepare for real life. If we want to live a better life, we’ll have to learn the practical skills we need in life. I realized that when I went to college. Without parents around me, my college life was a real mess! I wish my parents or my teachers had taught me all these skills before—they are really so useful! I had to learn to shop, prepare my food, cook meals, clean up and do the washing. Learning these skills changed me greatly and brought me a lot. Now I feel very confident in running a home.   Some people might say we can order food online. In fact, good life skills will make us better students, better workers, better family members and happier in our life. Making a meal needs good planning, skillful chopping, control of temperature and a good nose! It makes us smarter! It’s time for us to break the cradle. A coming change may help us a lot—schools in China will teach life skills as a subject. If we don’t have practical life skills, our education will be incomplete. Let’s start now. One day, others will wonder why they have no clean socks, and why we can cook a delicious meal but they cannot! 4．The writer starts the passage by ________. A．listing the facts B．raising a question C．telling a story 5．Schools in China will teach life skills as ________. A．a cradle B．housework C．a subject 6．What does the underlined It refer to in paragraph 4? A．Ordering food online B．Becoming a better person C．Making a meal 7．How did the writer feel after he learned some skills in the college? A．peaceful and patient B．happy and satisfied C．relaxed and wonderful 8．The best title of the passage may be ________. A．Ways to Live in the Cradle B．My Life Experience at College C．Time to Break the Cradle Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·深圳育才中学·期末） ①Going to museums is one of the ways for us to entertain (娱乐) ourselves. But should museums charge a fee (收费)? ②Museums are there for enjoyment; they are for education as well. We can get a lot of knowledge about history and art by visiting museums. Everyone should be able to visit and learn. ③Also, some people have pointed out that museums can attract more visitors if they are free to visit. When people have to pay for tickets, they often decide to go to the movies or go shopping instead. ④However, others think that museums should not be free to visit. For one thing, the maintenance (维护) fees that come from protecting paintings and valuable exhibits (展品) can be very high. Also, museums help people to get knowledge and enrich themselves. They’re not just tourist attractions for people to visit and take pictures of. Chen Dong, a staff member working in a city museum, said, “People will value the special opportunities if they have to pay for their visit.” ⑤In a word, although there are clear arguments (争议) on both sides, I think museums should be free. The most important function of museums is to spread culture and knowledge. Local governments or organizations can provide museums with financial support (资金支持). 9．According to Paragraph 2, what does visiting a museum bring us? A．Enjoyment and knowledge. B．Much pressure. C．Choice of hobbies. D．Too much fee. 10．Chen Dong thinks that people will ________ if they pay for it. A．value the chance to visit B．afford everything C．learn much D．find more chance 11．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 12．What is the best title for the passage? A．Is Visiting a Museum Helpful? B．Should Museums Charge a Fee? C．What Do You Learn From Visiting a Museum? D．How to Choose a Museum to Visit? 主题01 人与社会——科学技术 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·佛山市华英学校·期末） We often praise the world of science. It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology. One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能, AI). This is an area where scientists are working on making machines that think like humans. However, Professor Stephen Hawking, a well-known British scientist, is not for this kind of technology. “The development of artificial intelligence could spell (预言) the end of human.” He said so just after using the machine made for him. As Hawking has a serious illness called ALS, he needs an AI computer to communicate. The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next. This kind of AI is very useful, but Hawking fears the possibility of making machines that can be smarter than humans. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be. We can see on TV some big killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans can’t compete because of their slow biological evolution (生物进化),” said Hawking. But not everyone holds the same idea towards AI technology. “I believe we can make good use of the technology for a long time. It will help us to solve many problems in the future,” said Rollo Carpenter, CEO of Cleverbot in the UK. In which way do you think AI is heading? Should we be hopeful or fearful? 1．According to the passage, AI machines can ________ nowadays. A．make our lives easier B．think like human beings C．be much smarter than humans D．have nothing to do with humans 2．The underlined word “this” means ________. A．a big killer machine B．a serious illness called ALS C．the AI computer Hawking uses D．the AI technology scientists work on 3．The writer took Hawking as an example to ________. A．explain how AI has helped us B．show AI has already become part of our life C．suggest that AI might become dangerous for humans D．tell us how hard scientists have worked on making machines 4．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Hawking’s AI computer fully knows what he thinks about. B．The AI technology is cleverer than humans now. C．Hawking thinks humans might die out because of the development of AI. D．Hawking is a famous British scientist and against human intelligence. 5．The best title for this passage may be “________”. A．The Development of AI B．AI:a Friend or an Enemy? C．The Future of Human Beings D．The Fight between Humans and AI Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·佛山市第三中学·期末） Computer scientist Mary has an idea for a new robot to help her work with children. How should it look? The robot should have arms to be able to lift things. And if it is going to communicate with people, it will also need a face. Scientists believe that giving a robot a face can make it seem more friendly. Humans would also like to pay more attention to robots with faces. But what kind? For Mary, she wants to make sure that her new robot doesn’t look too much like a human. She wants people to just treat it as a machine-person. If it looks more like a human than a machine, she thinks users might find it a bit creepy and feel afraid. Mary also believes that robot faces don’t need to look a lot like ours. Her research shows that we can enjoy communicating with robots whether or not they look like humans, because our brains are able to look for faces. Just put two circles on top of a robot’s body, and we will see a face. Dave feels differently. He believes that although at first we might be afraid when seeing a robot with a lifelike face, we may soon get used to it. If robots are going to work closely with humans, they should look as much like us as possible. After all, faces are an important part of the way we communicate. To make his robots look as much like real people as possible, Dave invented a special skin (皮肤) for their faces. With this skin, robots can show human-like expressions and appear to be angry, sad, happy or surprised. Dave’s robots are also programmed to copy expressions. How? Just imagine his robot is looking at you. The cameras in its eyes send pictures of your face to its central computer! 6．Why do scientists think a robot needs a face? A．It will become more beautiful. B．It can do better in lifting things. C．It will pay more attention to children. D．It can better communicate with people. 7．What does the underlined word “creepy” mean in paragraph 2? A．Uncomfortable to look at. B．Impossible to touch. C．Boring to talk to. D．Difficult to understand. 8．Which of the following would Dave most probably agree with? A．People should treat robots as humans. B．Robots need to express their own feelings. C．Robots shouldn’t look too much like humans. D．People can easily accept robots with a human face. 9．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To explain the reasons why robots should have faces. B．To suggest what humans can do with robots with faces. C．To share ideas on what kind of faces robots should have. D．To show how scientists invent robots with different faces. Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·东莞市虎门第四中学·期末） What will the world of tomorrow look like? Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some of the most difficult problems we have on the earth today. New technology may solve old problems, and it may also create new ones. ________ Each has advantages and disadvantages, as these three examples. When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the skies in our own personal flying cars. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, there will be problems with traffic control. 3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts, and man-made body parts, such as ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive. Finally, people are trying to build a robot suit. This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy things and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident. However, one disadvantage at the moment is the cost. Looking ahead, it is easy to imagine a future. We’ll be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve before all of this is possible, we can certainly dream of a world. In this world, technology makes people’s lives easier and safer. It can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today. 10．Which might be the missing sentence in Paragraph 1? A．No technology is perfect. B．Technology causes lots of problems. C．We can’t live well without technology. 11．What problems may people meet if the flying cars become popular? A．More air pollution. B．Harder traffic control. C．More traffic lights. 12．What can a robot suit help people do? ①Produce electricity. ②Lift heavy things. ③Walk a long way. ④Walk again after an illness. A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①③④ 13．What is the structure (结构) of the text? (P＝Paragraph) A． B． C． 14．What does the writer think of new technology? A．He fears it. B．He doesn’t mind it. C．He looks forward to it. 主题02 人与自我——健康与运动 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·广州市白云区中学·期末） Which is more important in your mind, looking fashionable or feeling comfortable? You may find many people choose style over comfort. But we should remember: Being fashionable isn’t everything. It’s more important to be healthy. Some people believe that they need to be a certain size to look good. So, they might not eat meals or eat too little, which can make them feel sick. Is it a healthy way to live? Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels. They might think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes can hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and they can increase the risks of falls. Some even wear tight (紧的) clothes that influence blood circulation (循环), making it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and physical health? Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The material they use is usually harmful (有害的) to their health. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use hot tools. But using these tools too often or at very high temperatures can make the hair dry. Is it really worth it to risk our health, spending so much time and money? So, let’s think again what’s really important. Is it fashion or is it our well-being? Clothes or hairstyles don’t tell us anything about a person’s character. Instead of spending a lot of time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. Remember, the value of you is not decided by your appearance, but by who you are as a person. 1．What is the writer’s purpose of using a question in each paragraph? A．To ask for help from readers. B．To introduce the latest fashion. C．To tell how to spend time and money. D．To make readers to think about the topic. 2．What can we know from the third paragraph? A．Tight clothes can help blood circulation. B．All girls like shoes with very high heels. C．Shoes with high heels are very comfortable. D．Shoes with high heels can increase the risks of falls. 3．What does the underlined word “well-being” mean in the last paragraph? A．Growth. B．Health. C．Warmth. D．Wealth. 4．What can we know from the passage? A．It is more healthy to eat too little. B．Exercise can make us more healthy. C．Health is more important than fashion. D．The young shouldn’t change their hair color. Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·广州市第七中学·期末） ①A lot of people play sports, but very few people become sports professionals (专家). If sports aren’t going to be your future, then why should you play them? Why should you train every day? Why should you work hard and feel sore (酸痛的) the next day? Wouldn’t it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons? In fact, there are a lot of reasons to play sports. ②First of all, sports are a great way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and strong. It also helps you stay in a good condition. When you exercise, your body makes endorphins (安多芬) which give you more energy and make you feel happier. ③Also, sports teach young people how to communicate and work as a team. They teach young people to respect (尊重) their coaches, teammates and players from the other team. Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she may have fewer problems. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard, they might succeed. ④Another good way of sports is that they make people leave their houses. These days, a lot of people spend too much time watching television and playing video games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. You take in fresh air. All of these things are important. ⑤Maybe you’re not going to become a sports professional, but that doesn’t matter, sports will help you become a better and happier person. 5．In Paragraph 1, the writer leads into the topic (导入话题) by ________.

Gardening The students of Southside School were asked to give their opinions about whether the school should run an athletic (体育运动的) program or start a vegetable garden. An athletic program is much better than gardening. How will we win the Inter-School Athletics without training? At the moment, we only do athletics for one term and the teachers train us. We need experts (专家) to teach us things like throwing and high jump. Kids should get enough exercise when they are growing up. Gardening can’t make a kid get much exercise. However, an athletic program can make it. Athletics is much better for health and lots of kids can try at the same time. I don’t think there would be enough jobs for everyone in a garden. In fact, I think a garden is a really bad idea. I don’t know why we’re even considering it. Liz, Grade 8 I think a vegetable garden is a great idea. We already do hours of sport, including athletics. And not everyone likes sport. Gardening is a great way to get exercise without worrying about whether you’re good at it, or whether you’re going to win. And you can really get exercise when you garden. There’s digging, weeding (除草) and watering. Even picking things can be hard work. And think about it: what helps you to be good at sport? You need to eat lots of fruit and vegetables. If we learn to cook all the things we grow, the garden will keep us healthy, and then we’ll be better at sport. Sam, Grade 8 9．What is one reason Liz gives for saying “garden is a really bad idea”? A．Students can’t get exercise at all by gardening. B．Some students don’t enjoy being outside. C．Some students already know how to garden. D．The garden can’t offer enough jobs for everyone. 10．Which of these points do Liz and Sam both make? A．Kids should eat vegetables. B．Kids should take exercise. C．Kids should try to win more. D．Kids should learn to cook. 11．Why does Sam say “And think about it: what helps you to be good at sport?” A．To change the topic. B．To support Liz’s idea. C．To introduce his next reason. D．To explain health is important. 主题03 人与自然——人与动物 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·惠州中学·期末） If you travel by air across the center of Africa or South America, you will fly over forests for thousands of kilometers. These great forests are the oceans of trees. They are full of thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants. However, the world’s forests are getting smaller and smaller all the time. We are cutting down the trees. If we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world in a lot of places. The new farmland will soon become desert. Crops will not grow there. It will not rain very often, and the climate will change, too. These will be dangerous for everyone in the world. That is why we must take care of our forests. 1．The passage mainly tells us ________. A．the importance of taking care of our forests B．the results of cutting down trees C．where the great forests are D．that the world’s forests are getting smaller and smaller all the time 2．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Africa and North America are the oceans of birds. B．Forests are homes for different kinds of plants. C．Different plants can’t be found in the same forest. D．We can see forests everywhere. 3．If we go on cutting down trees in forests, what will happen? A．The climate will change. B．Many plants and animals will disappear. C．There will be more desert and less farmland. D．A, B and C． 4．Can you infer what will happen in 20 or 30 years if we continue to break the forests according to the passage? A．We will have more forests. B．We will have enough wood for cooking. C．We will have no forests like those in the center of Africa. D．We will not have enough land to grow crops. 5．The writer thinks ________. A．it’s dangerous for people to kill animals B．it’s necessary for people to take care of the forests C．it’s impossible for people to take care of the world D．it’s important for people to keep animals. Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·广州天省实验学校·期末） All over the world, thousands of animals are used for wildlife tourism. People travel to watch monkey shows, hug baby tigers and swim with dolphins. It might look like fun, but there are reports that animals are hurt now and again. The World Animal Protection (WAP) says that up to 550,000 wild animals are exposed (暴露) to ill treatment around the world; in Cambodia, for example, it’s been reported that elephants have died after carrying tourists for long in hot weather. This is getting attention—over 100 travel companies have promised that they will no longer open up such places. However, some people argue that animal tourism isn’t always as bad as it seems. So what do you think? Group YesAnimals weren’t put on this planet for enjoyment. They should be free to live as they choose. The way animals are treated is often cruel and causes much pain. Even if treated well, they cannot act in the same way as they would in the wild. We don’t need wildlife tourism. We can see animals close up in their natural home in TV programs. There’s no need to disturb (打扰) them in real life. Group NoIt is enjoyable and educational for people to communicate with the wonderful animals. The more people know about them, the more they want to protect them. Wildlife tourism brings money to poor areas and may be the only way for some people to make a living. Not all animals are treated badly. Some endangered animals are under the protection of programs that look after rare species (稀有物种). 6．How many wild animals are facing bad treatment according to WAP? A．More than 100. B．Hundreds. C．Thousands. D．About 550,000. 7．The underlined words “such places” refer to (指) the places for ________. A．foreign travelers B．sick elephants C．wildlife protection D．animal tourism 8．What opinion do the two groups have in common? A．Animals can live wherever they like. B．Wildlife should be protected. C．Animal tourism supports poor people. D．Wildlife is well looked after. 9．What is the text mainly about? A．Ways of protecting rare species. B．Different opinions on wildlife tourism. C．How to bring tourists enjoyment. D．Whether to collect information on wildlife. Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·番禺区市桥镇星海中学·期末） ①There are many arguments(争论) for and against children owning pets. Pets help to keep children company, help to keep children fit, and they also help children to learn new responsibilities. However, pets can be dangerous. They require a lot of care, and they cost a lot of money to be taken care of properly. ②The first argument that supports pet ownership by children is that they are good company. When children come home from school, pets are always there to greet them. They love children and are always willing to play. As a result, children will be less likely to experience loneliness. They will also help to keep children active as they will need to be walked and played with every day. ③Secondly, owning a pet encourages children to learn new responsibilities. Pets need to be looked after and be taken care of every day. Children will learn different skills that they can use later in life. For example, washing and feeding pets are important skills to learn. Learning these responsibilities will ensure that children will be able to look after themselves, and possibly their children one day. ④________ Some dogs, for example, may bite others, and children may become afraid of animals as a result of this happening to them. Cats also look very soft, but they do have very sharp claws(爪子). If they are treated in the wrong way, cats can use their claws to scratch. In addition, pets require a great deal of care. Many pets need to be regularly groomed, exercised and bathed. As a result of this, children may neglect their studies because they are too busy worrying about their pet and its well-being. ⑤A further argument against pet ownership is that pets are costly; buying food and maintaining their care is expensive. Finally, the cost of owning one falls on parents, and as a result, children don’t fully understand the responsibility of having one. ⑥In short, there are many arguments for and against pet ownership. Pets help to keep children company, fit, and they also help them to learn new responsibilities. However, pets can be dangerous, they require a lot of care, and they cost a lot of money to be taken care of properly. 10．Which of the following sentences can be put into ________ in Paragraph 4? A．On the other hand, some pets can be dangerous. B．As a result, some animals are very cute for children. C．So their children can look after more people at school. D．All in all, having a pet has a good influence on children. 11．The underlined word “neglect” in Paragraph 4 means ________. A．put an effort in B．pay little attention to C．have no influence on D．show great interest in 12．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 13．What’s the best title of the passage? A．New Things from Owning Pets B．Arguments about Owning Pets C．Allowing Children to Own Pets D．Looking After Pets in a Right Way / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 阅读理解（议论文） 主题01 人与社会——青少年问题 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·佛山南海中学·期末） We’ll finally grow up someday, leaving our parents and facing the challenges (挑战) in life. Parents may not be able to solve every problem for us. Instead, we should have enough life skills to deal with the problems that come our way. This is what our country tries to do now: Helping more students gain working spirit. To stress the importance of hardworking spirit education (劳动教育) among students of different ages. The government released (发布) a guideline (纲要) recently.                 The guideline calls for students to respect work. Students should learn basic life skills and form good working habits through such education. The government has been trying to stress the importance of hardworking spirit education. But this has been overlooked in recent years. Many teens do not value the importance of working hard and are uninterested in doing so. According to a study of nearly 3,000 students that was done by Evening News, only 22 percent of primary and middle school students help with everyday housework. Schools and families play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard, the guideline says. Primary and middle schools should provide students with hardworking spirit classes every week, according to the guideline. Schools can also hold activities to give students real-world work experience. For example, schools can teach children how to plant trees on Tree-Planting Day. As children’s first teachers, parents should also encourage children to learn how to do housework. Students should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms. 1．The guideline was released in order to _________. A．teach students how to do housework B．call for students to respect work C．help students solve life problems D．ask students to face the challenges 2．What does the underlined word “overlooked” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．证实 B．关注 C．查看 D．忽略 3．What is Paragraph 5 trying to tell us? A．Only 3000 students help with housework. B．Students pay no attention to work spirit. C．About one-fifth of students help with housework. D．Students are very dependent on their parents. 4．According to the guideline, schools should ________ . A．provide both guidance (指导) and chances for real work B．hand out the guideline to every student C．teach students how to plant trees D．give parents homework 5．The article mainly tells us _________. A．the government calls for students to work hard B．schools should help students gain work experience C．students should be hard-working and independent D．hardworking spirit education is important and what we should do 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是议论文，国家发布了指导意见，希望青少年能够延续吃苦耐劳的精神。 1．细节理解题。根据“The guideline calls for students to respect work.”可知，指导意见的发布是为了要求学生尊重劳动，故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据后文“Many teens do not value the importance of working hard”可知，青少年对于吃苦耐劳不重视，所以这一精神被忽略了，故选D。 3．主旨大意题。根据“only 22 percent of primary and middle school students help with everyday housework.”可知，该段主要内容是说约有五分之一的学生在家里会帮做家务。C选项“About one-fifth of students help with housework”大约五分之一的学生帮忙做家务，符合题意，故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据原文“Primary and middle schools should provide students with hardworking spirit classes every week, according to the guideline. Schools can also hold activities to give students real-world work experience.”可知，学校既要提供理论指导，也要给予学生提供真正的社会实践机会。故选A。 5．主旨大意题。根据“This is what our country tries to do now: Helping more students gain working spirit. To stress the importance of hardworking spirit education (劳动教育) among students of different ages.”和“Primary and middle schools should provide students with hardworking spirit classes every week,”和“As children’s first teachers, parents should also encourage children to learn how to do housework. Students should master one or two life skills every year.”可知，文章首先介绍了吃苦耐劳精神的重要性，然后从学校和家庭方面介绍我们应该如何延续这种精神，故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·广州市黄广中学·期末） If you’re working to become better or hoping to make a change, you’ll probably hear your family and friends say “go big or go home’’. They think you should set high expectations. But is it really good? Having high expectations could be good. It can motivate you. When you have high expectations for something, you’ll probably try your best to make them come true. For example, if you believe that you can get an A in a test, you will probably spend a lot of time working on it. Also, when you start meeting your expectations, you’ll set even higher expectations for yourself. Besides, having high expectations on yourself doesn’t only do you good. It will make a difference to others. But if your expectations are too high to realize, it can be bad. Having high expectations can sometimes lead to mind problems, such as worry and unhappiness. The findings of a study showed that some students were under serious stress because they wanted to be perfect. Great expectations can also let you down. This is especially true when you set expectations on other people whose actions you cannot control. For example, if you’re feeling alone and you call up your friends, you surely expect them to make you feel better. When this fails to happen, you will feel down and unsatisfied with your friends. To avoid this situation, you should set your expectations realistically (切合实际地). It is hard to manage expectations, but the main thing is to set a more realistic and achievable expectation. 6．What do your family and friends want you to do when they say “go big or go home” ? A．To cheer others up. B．To go home at once. C．To set high expectations. D．To spend a lot of time with them. 7．Why were some students under serious stress? A．Their family didn’t support them. B．Their study results were terrible. C．Their friends didn’t care about them. D．Their expectations are too high to realize. 8．How can you avoid feeling down when setting expectations on others? A．By calling up your friends. B．By controlling their actions. C．By making others feel better. D．By setting your expectations realistically. 9．What is the best title for the text? A．Right views on Setting Expectations. B．Valuable Advice on Realizing Expectations. C．Possible Reasons for Meeting Expectations. D．Serious Problems in Achieving Expectations. 【答案】6．C 7．D 8．D 9．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了期望过高的好处与坏处。通过举例子，引导人们要对自己或他人要抱有切合实际的期望。 6．细节理解题。根据原文“you’ll probably hear your family and friends say “go big or go home’’. They think you should set high expectations. ”可知，当家人朋友说“要么出众，要么出局”时，他们是在鼓励你抱有更高的期望。故选C。 7．细节理解题。根据原文“But if your expectations are too high to realize, it can be bad...The findings of a study showed that some students were under serious stress because they wanted to be perfect...”和后文的一些实例可知，一些学生有压力是因为期望过高而无法实现导致的。故选D。 8．细节理解题。根据原文“To avoid this situation, you should set your expectations realistically (切合实际地).”可知，要想避免失望，就应该对他人抱有切合实际的期望。故选D。 9．最佳标题题。全文都是在论述关于高期望的利与弊。故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·广州番禺外国语学校·期末） During the past one hundred years, there have been many inventions (发明物) that make our life much easier and more interesting. TV is one of them. Many people enjoy watching TV for fun. Some even believe that TV has made their children clever because there are all kinds of information on it—news, sports, music and language. Children can learn a lot from TV in a short time without going out. Many parents are happy about this because they themselves are too busy to spend time with their children. But we have found that more and more children today have problems with reading, thinking and concentrating (集中注意力) even though they have watched a lot of TV. In fact, getting much information from TV does not mean real learning. Children who watch too much TV do not have enough time to think. What children need most is their parents. Parents give children love, and help them solve problems in the right way. We should teach our children what real life is without TV. 10．Why do many people enjoy watching TV? A．To have fun. B．To learn something. C．To make money. D．To finish their work. 11．What does the writer think of TV? A．It takes away children’s chance to think. B．It gives useful advice on becoming better parents. C．It does not give enough information to people today. D．It has been the most important invention of the past one hundred years. 12．From the last paragraph, we know ________ can help children solve problems in the right way. A．friends B．TV C．parents D．radio 13．What can we infer from the passage? A．People in the future will spend more time on TV. B．Children should learn more from their parents than from TV. C．Students who watch TV are cleverer than students who do not. D．Watching TV is a good way for children to understand real life. 【答案】10．A 11．A 12．C 13．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，探讨了电视这一发明对孩子的影响。 10．细节理解题。根据“Many people enjoy watching TV for fun.”可知，很多人喜欢看电视是为了娱乐。故选A。 11．细节理解题。根据“Children who watch too much TV do not have enough time to think.”可知，作者认为电视占用了孩子思考的时间。故选A。 12．细节理解题。根据“Parents give children love, and help them solve problems in the right way.”可知，父母能帮助孩子用正确的方式解决问题。故选C。 13．推理判断题。根据“What children need most is their parents. Parents give children love, and help them solve problems in the right way. We should teach our children what real life is without TV.”可推断出，孩子应该从父母那里学到的东西比从电视上学到的更多。故选B。 主题02 人与社会——教育 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·广州市为明学校·期末） Do Kids Need Homework? School is a big part of life, not just for kids but for their families. There are many reports and discussions about what’s best for students. Everyone has their own opinions. And they don’t always agree. Do kids need homework? It depends. Some readers from a famous magazine think that the extra (额外的) work reviews what they have learnt in class. And it also helps teachers find where students need more help. Others say homework adds to students’ stress and takes time away from exercise or learning something new. In order to know what kind of homework kids should do and how much kids need, the magazine interviewed several kids. Karen, 9 Kids need homework. When they learn something new in school, reviewing it at home helps them remember it. Our homework gives our teachers valuable information. It tells them how much students are paying attention in class and who needs extra help. Michael, 9 In my opinion, giving students homework is a bad idea. After school, kids need experiences that build a healthy mind and body. Homework is not supposed to stress kids out. When there is too much homework, students do poorly in homework. In fact, doing homework poorly is worse than doing no homework. As long as students are working hard in class, it’s best not to give them extra work. Robert, 8 Kids need homework. But that depends. Middle and high school students can do more homework. At my school, primary students get homework, but not too much. My teacher might ask us to learn spelling words at home, and each week we’ll be given a test. Susan, 11 Kids don’t need homework. They’re learning for six hours a day at school. Adding another hour of work for kids to do at home is just having them repeat what they’ve been doing all day. Besides, homework takes time away from activities like team sports. These are just as important as schoolwork, because they keep kids active. 1．What did the magazine do about homework? A．It had a discussion. B．It did a report. C．It did an interview. 2．Who supports the idea of giving students homework? A．Karen. B．Michael. C．Susan. 3．What will happen when homework is too much according to Paragraph 4? A．Students will do no homework. B．Students will do homework poorly. C．Students will build a healthy mind and body. 4．What does “These” refer to (指代) in the last paragraph? A．Kids. B．Subjects. C．Activities like team sports. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕“孩子是否需要家庭作业”展开讨论，通过杂志采访不同学生的观点呈现正反双方的论据。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“the magazine interviewed several kids”可知，杂志采取的方式是采访。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Karen, 9  Kids need homework.”可知，Karen支持布置作业。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“When there is too much homework, students do poorly in homework.”可知，当作业过多时，学生会做得很差。故选B。 4．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Besides, homework takes time away from activities like team sports. These are just as important as schoolwork”可知，家庭作业占用了团队运动等活动的时间，这些活动和功课一样重要。由此可知，These指代activities like team sports“团队运动之类的活动”。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·深圳亚迪学校·期末） Do you think high school students should read classic works of literature? Lilian: We lack understanding in life, so it’s likely that we may have difficulty understanding the deeper meanings under the surface of the classics. But this shouldn’t be a reason to give up reading classics. As Francis Bacon said, “Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.” Harry: Classics are the treasures our ancestors left us. We have the duty to read them and pass them down through the generations. As the old Chinese saying goes, “One who is filled with knowledge always behaves with elegance.” Famous books can cultivate students’ cultural literacy (素养) and arouse their interest in culture. Linda: Without background and life experience, students can’t resonate with authors from previous eras. What’s more, partly due to the writers’ outdated ways of thinking, there might be some misunderstandings. While reading, some students mainly focus on words and expressions without carefully reflecting on them. For this reason, reading classics might be a waste of time. Dale: For one thing, not all classics are suitable for all students, as there are many complex expressions and deep ideas. For another, some classics have unique writing styles, but they may be too difficult for students to understand. If students are asked to read these classics, they probably won’t be able to understand them. 5．Both Lilian and Harry explain their ideas by ________. A．giving a quote B．listing examples C．showing numbers D．making comparisons 6．Linda thinks reading classics might be a waste of time because ________. A．the authors lived in different countries B．students prefer to read about life experiences C．students might be too focused on words and expressions D．most of the ideas in the classics are just misunderstandings of the world 7．Which of the following ideas might Dale agree with? A．Many classics are specially written for students. B．It’s hard for students to understand some writers’ styles. C．Students don’t have the ability to read literary works. D．Some writers of classics were thinking in an old-fashioned way. 8．What’s the discussion mainly about? A．How literary classics go out of style. B．Why students should take part in reading competitions. C．How high schools should help students develop cultural literacy. D．Whether high school students should read literary classics. 【答案】5．A 6．C 7．B 8．D 【导语】本文主要就“高中生应该读经典文学作品吗”这一话题展开了讨论。 5．推理判断题。根据“As Francis Bacon said, ‘Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.’”和“As the old Chinese saying goes, ‘One who is filled with knowledge always behaves with elegance.’ Famous books can cultivate students’ cultural literacy (素养) and arouse their interest in culture.”可知，这两人均是引用了名人名言。故选A。 6．细节理解题。根据“While reading, some students mainly focus on words and expressions without carefully reflecting on them.”可知，学生过于关注词汇和表达，导致阅读效果不佳，浪费时间。故选C。 7．推理判断题。根据“For another, some classics have unique writing styles, but they may be too difficult for students to understand.”可知，Dale认为有些经典作品有独特的写作风格，学生很难理解。故选B。 8．主旨大意题。根据“Do you think high school students should read classic works of literature?”可知，本文围绕“高中生应该读经典文学作品吗？”话题展开讨论。故选D。 Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·广州天省实验学校学·期末） Recently, the AI chatbot (聊天机器人) ChatGPT has become popular. Many people, with the experience of communicating with it, would be deeply influenced by the robot. However, when it comes to education, some students hold different opinions about whether ChatGPT is offering help or making things worse. Tom: In my opinion, ChatGPT has helped me in many ways, from giving cooking advice to writing emails, but I’ve never tried to use it in my education. It can collect enough information for us, but we are sometimes not sure whether the information is correct. Also, depending on it to do our homework will just make us stop thinking. Tim: Whether ChatGPT is good or bad for education, I believe that it all depends on how students use it. If students use it to help them better understand certain knowledge that teachers may not explain carefully in class, I think it can really help. However, if ChatGPT is simply used for homework or cheating on exams, I think it will do no good. Jerry: I think ChatGPT is terrible for education. This is because it’s clever enough to allow lazy and hardworking people to achieve the same level (水平) of excellence with the same level of education. This makes students who should work hard become lazy. 9．What are the three students talking about? A．What is ChatGPT good for? B．What can ChatGPT do for students? C．Why do students need to use ChatGPT? D．Should ChatGPT be used in education? 10．What has Tom never used ChatGPT to do? A．Get cooking advice. B．Write emails. C．Do his homework. D．Collect information. 11．What does Jerry think of ChatGPT? A．It can make people become lazy. B．It can make people become clever. C．It can help students cheat on exams. D．It can help students with knowledge. 【答案】9．D 10．C 11．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了最近AI聊天机器人ChatGPT变得流行，许多人与它交流后深受影响。然而在教育领域，学生们对于ChatGPT是提供帮助还是使情况变糟持有不同意见。Tom、Tim和Jerry三位学生分别表达了自己的看法。 9．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, when it comes to education, some students hold different opinions about whether ChatGPT is offering help or making things worse.”可知，三位学生讨论的是ChatGPT是否应该被用于教育。故选D。 10．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Tom: In my opinion, ChatGPT has helped me in many ways, from giving cooking advice to writing emails, but I’ve never tried to use it in my education.”可知，Tom从未使用ChatGPT做过作业。故选C。 11．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Jerry: I think ChatGPT is terrible for education. This is because it’s clever enough to allow lazy and hardworking people to achieve the same level (水平) of excellence with the same level of education. This makes students who should work hard become lazy.”可知，Jerry认为ChatGPT会使人们变得懒惰。故选A。 Passage 4 （24-25九年级上·广州香江中学·期末） Starting with this fall term, students in primary and middle schools will have at least one course every week on basic household skills such as cleaning and cooking, according to a new curriculum standard (课程标准) for labor education in compulsory (义务的) education made by the government. Should household skills be made compulsory at schools? Michael: By learning basic skills like cooking, cleaning and maintaining home appliances (家用电器), children can learn how to take care of themselves and live independently. Parents won’t always be there to help their children with every problem they’ll meet in their lives. They need to learn new things, make mistakes, solve problems and grow from their experiences. It is necessary for children to learn these important lifesaving skills as early as possible. Jade: There are only limited hours in a school day. With all the required classes, there is not enough time for household courses. I think it is something that parents need to do at home with their children, helping them around the house with cooking, cleaning, washing, planting, etc. Remember school can’t teach your children everything. They need you, too! Ben: Household courses should be made optional (可选择的) for students. They should be given the choice to take whatever they like. If one wants to cook dishes, he or she is welcome. But it should not be made compulsory and forced onto every student. Maria: I learned some basic cooking skills from my mother, but most of them were learned after I graduated from college, from cooking books and online short videos. Household skills like cooking are much more useful than a lot of what is taught in schools, but it does require some fully equipped (配备齐全的) kitchens. I hope these classes will benefit (使受益) students and not be seen as window dressing. 12．What does Jade think of household courses? A．They should be made optional. B．They are good for students’ growth. C．They can help children develop their interests. D．They should be taught by parents at home. 13．What does the underlined word “window dressing” probably mean?

A．To tell parents the importance of household courses B．To introduce something about household courses C．To encourage students to study household courses D．To show different ideas about household courses 【答案】12．D 13．B 14．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了四位人物对于“家庭技能是否应该成为学校的必修课”这个话题的不同观点。 12．细节理解题。根据“Jade: …I think it is something that parents need to do at home with their children, helping them around the house with cooking, cleaning, washing, planting, etc.”可知，Jade认为这是父母需要在家里和孩子们一起做的事情，即家庭课程应该由家长在家教授。故选D。 13．词句猜测题。根据“I hope these classes will benefit (使受益) students and not be seen as window dressing.”可知，Maria希望这个课程能够让学生受益，而不是徒有形式，划线部分的含义是“形式很好，但无法实现”，B项符合。故选B。 14．主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Should household skills be made compulsory at schools?”并通读全文可知，文章主要讲述四位人物对于“家庭技能是否应该成为学校的必修课”这个话题的不同观点，所以D项符合。故选D。 主题03 人与自我——意见/建议 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·广州思源学校·期末） As people say, you can’t change the environment, but you can change your own. You can’t change the facts, but you can change attitudes (态度). You can’t control other people, but you can be master of your own. You can’t do everything well, but you can be careful with everything. You can’t control the weather, but you can change your mood. You can’t choose what you look like, but you can show a smile. One key to success lies in his or her mind. There are some differences between winners and losers. Winners always think troubles and difficulties are caused by personal ability and experience. They would like to improve and develop in the right direction. While losers will blame on the opportunity (机会), and the environment injustice (不公). They always complain, wait and give up. In many cases, a humble (出身卑微的) person looks down upon his own. A person’s appearance and his family may not be changed, but he can control the spirit of the will of his own at least. If he can’t deal with the mind, how can he deal with more difficult things? No matter what the situation is, a person’s attitude is very important. Emerson said, “A move toward their goals is always people who gave him the whole world to give way.” On the contrary (相反), failure is not because we do not have the strength, but because we can’t stick to ourselves, and always follow others’ examples. We should believe the strength of mind, and change our attitude when we face disappointments (失望) in life. I believe the power of mind, and now it’s up to you to make the final decision. 1．Although people can’t do everything well, they can choose to ________. A．be master of their own B．control other people C．change the environment D．be careful with everything 2．The differences between winners and losers are ________. A．their chances B．their families C．their minds D．their jobs 3．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Follow Other’s Examples B．Believe the Power of Mind C．Have Your Strength D．Improve the Environment 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 【导语】本文主要阐述了人们虽无法改变诸多外在因素，但可通过改变自身态度来应对生活，强调了心态的重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据“You can’t do everything well, but you can be careful with everything.”可知人们不能做好每件事，但可以对每件事都细心对待。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“One key to success lies in his or her mind. There are some differences between winners and losers.”以及后面分别阐述成功者和失败者对待问题的不同思维方式，可知差异在于他们的思维。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。文章开篇讲述人们虽不能改变很多外在的东西，但可以改变自己的态度等，接着对比成功者和失败者在思维上的差异，最后强调要相信心灵的力量并改变态度，全文围绕相信心灵的力量展开。可知选项B“相信心灵的力量”最能概括文章主旨。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·惠州市博罗中学·期末） Lots of us young people experience home-life as if it were a cradle (摇篮). Meals are cooked and clothes are washed as if by magic! We cannot wash clothes or cook a meal. We don’t clean the floor, sort (分类) the garbage, cut the meat, chop (剁碎) the vegetables... Yes, we are “grown-up babies” in cradles. But we cannot stay in the cradles forever. Everybody needs to prepare for real life. If we want to live a better life, we’ll have to learn the practical skills we need in life. I realized that when I went to college. Without parents around me, my college life was a real mess! I wish my parents or my teachers had taught me all these skills before—they are really so useful! I had to learn to shop, prepare my food, cook meals, clean up and do the washing. Learning these skills changed me greatly and brought me a lot. Now I feel very confident in running a home.   Some people might say we can order food online. In fact, good life skills will make us better students, better workers, better family members and happier in our life. Making a meal needs good planning, skillful chopping, control of temperature and a good nose! It makes us smarter! It’s time for us to break the cradle. A coming change may help us a lot—schools in China will teach life skills as a subject. If we don’t have practical life skills, our education will be incomplete. Let’s start now. One day, others will wonder why they have no clean socks, and why we can cook a delicious meal but they cannot! 4．The writer starts the passage by ________.

But should museums charge a fee (收费)? ②Museums are there for enjoyment; they are for education as well. We can get a lot of knowledge about history and art by visiting museums. Everyone should be able to visit and learn. ③Also, some people have pointed out that museums can attract more visitors if they are free to visit. When people have to pay for tickets, they often decide to go to the movies or go shopping instead. ④However, others think that museums should not be free to visit. For one thing, the maintenance (维护) fees that come from protecting paintings and valuable exhibits (展品) can be very high. Also, museums help people to get knowledge and enrich themselves. They’re not just tourist attractions for people to visit and take pictures of. Chen Dong, a staff member working in a city museum, said, “People will value the special opportunities if they have to pay for their visit.” ⑤In a word, although there are clear arguments (争议) on both sides, I think museums should be free. The most important function of museums is to spread culture and knowledge. Local governments or organizations can provide museums with financial support (资金支持). 9．According to Paragraph 2, what does visiting a museum bring us? A．Enjoyment and knowledge. B．Much pressure. C．Choice of hobbies. D．Too much fee. 10．Chen Dong thinks that people will ________ if they pay for it.

D．How to Choose a Museum to Visit? 【答案】9．A 10．A 11．C 12．B 【导语】本文主要讨论了博物馆是否应该收费的问题，作者认为尽管存在争议，但博物馆应该免费，因为其最重要的功能是传播文化和知识，且地方政府或组织可以提供资金支持。 9．细节理解题。根据“Museums are there for enjoyment; they are for education as well. We can get a lot of knowledge about history and art by visiting museums.”可知，参观博物馆可以给我们带来享受和知识。故选A。 10．细节理解题。根据“Chen Dong, a staff member working in a city museum, said, ‘People will value the special opportunities if they have to pay for their visit.’”可知，陈东认为如果人们为参观付费，他们会珍惜这个参观的机会。故选A。 11．篇章结构题。根据文章内容可知，第一段提出问题“But should museums charge a fee?”，即博物馆是否应该收费；第二段和第三段从支持免费的角度进行阐述；第四段从反对免费的角度进行阐述；第五段总结全文，作者认为博物馆应该免费。因此，文章的结构是“总-分-总”，C选项符合题意。故选C。 12．最佳标题题。文章主要讨论了博物馆是否应该收费的问题，从支持和反对两个角度进行了阐述，并最终给出了作者的观点。因此，最适合的标题是“Should Museums Charge a Fee?”。故选B。 主题01 人与社会——科学技术 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·佛山市华英学校·期末） We often praise the world of science. It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology. One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能, AI). This is an area where scientists are working on making machines that think like humans. However, Professor Stephen Hawking, a well-known British scientist, is not for this kind of technology. “The development of artificial intelligence could spell (预言) the end of human.” He said so just after using the machine made for him. As Hawking has a serious illness called ALS, he needs an AI computer to communicate. The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next. This kind of AI is very useful, but Hawking fears the possibility of making machines that can be smarter than humans. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be. We can see on TV some big killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans can’t compete because of their slow biological evolution (生物进化),” said Hawking. But not everyone holds the same idea towards AI technology. “I believe we can make good use of the technology for a long time. It will help us to solve many problems in the future,” said Rollo Carpenter, CEO of Cleverbot in the UK. In which way do you think AI is heading? Should we be hopeful or fearful? 1．According to the passage, AI machines can ________ nowadays. A．make our lives easier B．think like human beings C．be much smarter than humans D．have nothing to do with humans 2．The underlined word “this” means ________. A．a big killer machine B．a serious illness called ALS C．the AI computer Hawking uses D．the AI technology scientists work on 3．The writer took Hawking as an example to ________. A．explain how AI has helped us B．show AI has already become part of our life C．suggest that AI might become dangerous for humans D．tell us how hard scientists have worked on making machines 4．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Hawking’s AI computer fully knows what he thinks about. B．The AI technology is cleverer than humans now. C．Hawking thinks humans might die out because of the development of AI. D．Hawking is a famous British scientist and against human intelligence. 5．The best title for this passage may be “________”. A．The Development of AI B．AI:a Friend or an Enemy? C．The Future of Human Beings D．The Fight between Humans and AI 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了人们对人工智能技术的不同看法。 1．细节理解题。根据“It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology. One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能, AI).”可知，现在人工智能机器能让我们的生活更容易，故选A。 2．词义猜测题。根据“One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能, AI). This is an area where scientists are working on making machines that think like humans.”可知，此处this指的是科学家从事的人工智能技术，故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“However, Professor Stephen Hawking, a well-known British scientist, is not for this kind of technology. ‘The development of artificial intelligence could spell (预言) the end of human.’”可知，霍金认为人工智能的发展可能会意味着人类的终结，因此作者以霍金为例，是想要表明人工智能可能会对人类有危险，故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“However, Professor Stephen Hawking, a well-known British scientist, is not for this kind of technology. ‘The development of artificial intelligence could spell (预言) the end of human.’”可知，霍金认为因为人工智能的发展，人类可能会灭亡，故选C。 5．最佳标题题。根据“In which way do you think AI is heading? Should we be hopeful or fearful?”可知，本文介绍了对人工智能技术，我们是应该充满希望还是害怕，因此标题为“人工智能：是敌还是友？”故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·佛山市第三中学·期末） Computer scientist Mary has an idea for a new robot to help her work with children. How should it look? The robot should have arms to be able to lift things. And if it is going to communicate with people, it will also need a face. Scientists believe that giving a robot a face can make it seem more friendly. Humans would also like to pay more attention to robots with faces. But what kind? For Mary, she wants to make sure that her new robot doesn’t look too much like a human. She wants people to just treat it as a machine-person. If it looks more like a human than a machine, she thinks users might find it a bit creepy and feel afraid. Mary also believes that robot faces don’t need to look a lot like ours. Her research shows that we can enjoy communicating with robots whether or not they look like humans, because our brains are able to look for faces. Just put two circles on top of a robot’s body, and we will see a face. Dave feels differently. He believes that although at first we might be afraid when seeing a robot with a lifelike face, we may soon get used to it. If robots are going to work closely with humans, they should look as much like us as possible. After all, faces are an important part of the way we communicate. To make his robots look as much like real people as possible, Dave invented a special skin (皮肤) for their faces. With this skin, robots can show human-like expressions and appear to be angry, sad, happy or surprised. Dave’s robots are also programmed to copy expressions. How? Just imagine his robot is looking at you. The cameras in its eyes send pictures of your face to its central computer! 6．Why do scientists think a robot needs a face? A．It will become more beautiful. B．It can do better in lifting things. C．It will pay more attention to children. D．It can better communicate with people. 7．What does the underlined word “creepy” mean in paragraph 2? A．Uncomfortable to look at. B．Impossible to touch. C．Boring to talk to. D．Difficult to understand. 8．Which of the following would Dave most probably agree with? A．People should treat robots as humans. B．Robots need to express their own feelings. C．Robots shouldn’t look too much like humans. D．People can easily accept robots with a human face. 9．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To explain the reasons why robots should have faces. B．To suggest what humans can do with robots with faces. C．To share ideas on what kind of faces robots should have. D．To show how scientists invent robots with different faces. 【答案】6．D 7．A 8．D 9．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍两个人对机器人是否要有人形脸持有的不同看法。 6．细节理解题。根据“And if it is going to communicate with people, it will also need a face. ”可知，机器人要与人交流，故需要脸。故选D。 7．词句猜测题。根据“If it looks more like a human than a machine, she thinks users might find it a bit creepy and feel afraid.”可知，划线词与“feel afraid”并列，由此可猜测creepy意为“看着不舒服”。故选A。 8．细节理解题。根据“He believes that although at first we might be afraid when seeing a robot with a lifelike face, we may soon get used to it.”可知，尽管机器人有人形脸可能一开始看起来令人害怕，但是我们会很快适应，说明人们能轻松地接受人形脸的机器人。故选D。 9．主旨大意题。根据“Computer scientist Mary has an idea for a new robot to help her work with children. How should it look?”和全文可知，本文主要讨论机器人需要什么脸型。故选C。 Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·东莞市虎门第四中学·期末） What will the world of tomorrow look like? Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some of the most difficult problems we have on the earth today. New technology may solve old problems, and it may also create new ones. ________ Each has advantages and disadvantages, as these three examples. When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the skies in our own personal flying cars. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, there will be problems with traffic control. 3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts, and man-made body parts, such as ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive. Finally, people are trying to build a robot suit. This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy things and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident. However, one disadvantage at the moment is the cost. Looking ahead, it is easy to imagine a future. We’ll be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve before all of this is possible, we can certainly dream of a world. In this world, technology makes people’s lives easier and safer. It can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today. 10．Which might be the missing sentence in Paragraph 1? A．No technology is perfect. B．Technology causes lots of problems. C．We can’t live well without technology. 11．What problems may people meet if the flying cars become popular? A．More air pollution. B．Harder traffic control. C．More traffic lights. 12．What can a robot suit help people do? ①Produce electricity. ②Lift heavy things. ③Walk a long way. ④Walk again after an illness. A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①③④ 13．What is the structure (结构) of the text? (P＝Paragraph) A． B． C． 14．What does the writer think of new technology? A．He fears it. B．He doesn’t mind it. C．He looks forward to it. 【答案】10．A 11．B 12．B 13．C 14．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了未来世界的一些新技术的优点和缺点。 10．推理判断题。根据“Each has advantages and disadvantages, as these three examples.”可知，此空应该是说没有技术是完美的。故选A。 11．细节理解题。根据“However, there will be problems with traffic control.”可知，交通管制会有问题。故选B。 12．细节理解题。根据“It allows people to lift heavy things and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident.”可知，它可以让人们举起重物，走很长的路。它可以帮助人们在生病或事故后重新行走。故选B。 13．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，文章第一段是提出观点；接着三段分别介绍三项新技术的优缺点；最后一段总结。故选C。 14．推理判断题。根据“Although there are some problems to solve before all of this is possible, we can certainly dream of a world.”可知，虽然在这一切成为可能之前还有一些问题需要解决，但我们肯定可以梦想一个世界，由此推出作者很期待新技术。故选C。 主题02 人与自我——健康与运动 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·广州市白云区中学·期末） Which is more important in your mind, looking fashionable or feeling comfortable? You may find many people choose style over comfort. But we should remember: Being fashionable isn’t everything. It’s more important to be healthy. Some people believe that they need to be a certain size to look good. So, they might not eat meals or eat too little, which can make them feel sick. Is it a healthy way to live? Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels. They might think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes can hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and they can increase the risks of falls. Some even wear tight (紧的) clothes that influence blood circulation (循环), making it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and physical health? Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The material they use is usually harmful (有害的) to their health. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use hot tools. But using these tools too often or at very high temperatures can make the hair dry. Is it really worth it to risk our health, spending so much time and money? So, let’s think again what’s really important. Is it fashion or is it our well-being? Clothes or hairstyles don’t tell us anything about a person’s character. Instead of spending a lot of time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. Remember, the value of you is not decided by your appearance, but by who you are as a person. 1．What is the writer’s purpose of using a question in each paragraph? A．To ask for help from readers. B．To introduce the latest fashion. C．To tell how to spend time and money. D．To make readers to think about the topic. 2．What can we know from the third paragraph? A．Tight clothes can help blood circulation. B．All girls like shoes with very high heels. C．Shoes with high heels are very comfortable. D．Shoes with high heels can increase the risks of falls. 3．What does the underlined word “well-being” mean in the last paragraph? A．Growth. B．Health. C．Warmth. D．Wealth. 4．What can we know from the passage? A．It is more healthy to eat too little. B．Exercise can make us more healthy. C．Health is more important than fashion. D．The young shouldn’t change their hair color. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文讨论了看起来时尚和感觉舒适哪个更重要，文章指出，时尚并不是一切，更重要的是健康。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s more important to be healthy.”以及每一段的问题可知，作者提出这些问题是为了让读者思考“健康才是更重要的”这个主题，故选D。 2．细节理解题。从第三段“But these shoes can hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and they can increase the risks of falls.”可知，高跟鞋会增加跌倒风险，故选D。 3．词义猜测题。根据第一段“Which is more important in your mind, looking fashionable or feeling comfortable”和“So, let’s think again what’s really important. Is it fashion or is it our well-being”可知，“well-being”和“feeling comfortable”相关，即与健康相关，意为“健康”，故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“Being fashionable isn’t everything. It’s more important to be healthy.”可知，文章强调健康比时尚更重要，故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·广州市第七中学·期末） ①A lot of people play sports, but very few people become sports professionals (专家). If sports aren’t going to be your future, then why should you play them? Why should you train every day? Why should you work hard and feel sore (酸痛的) the next day? Wouldn’t it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons? In fact, there are a lot of reasons to play sports. ②First of all, sports are a great way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and strong. It also helps you stay in a good condition. When you exercise, your body makes endorphins (安多芬) which give you more energy and make you feel happier. ③Also, sports teach young people how to communicate and work as a team. They teach young people to respect (尊重) their coaches, teammates and players from the other team. Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she may have fewer problems. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard, they might succeed. ④Another good way of sports is that they make people leave their houses. These days, a lot of people spend too much time watching television and playing video games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. You take in fresh air. All of these things are important. ⑤Maybe you’re not going to become a sports professional, but that doesn’t matter, sports will help you become a better and happier person. 5．In Paragraph 1, the writer leads into the topic (导入话题) by ________. A．telling stories B．listing numbers C．giving examples D．asking questions 6．What does the underlined word “ They ” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Reports. B．Sports. C．Problems. D．Rules. 7．According to (根据) Paragraph 4, what things are important? A．Watching television B．Taking in fresh air C．Playing video games. D．Respecting their teammates 8．Which of the following is the structure (结构) of the passage? (P = Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 【答案】5．D 6．B 7．B 8．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了即使对于那些不打算成为职业运动员的人来说，参与体育运动的重要性和益处。 5．细节理解题。根据“then why should you play them? Why should you train every day? Why should you work hard and feel sore (酸痛的) the next day? Wouldn’t it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons?”可知，作者提出了四个问题来导入话题。故选D。 6．词句猜测题。根据“This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard, they might succeed.”可知，这是因为体育教人们关于规则的知识，“它们”还教导人们，如果他们努力工作，他们可能会成功，可推知此处的“They”指代运动。故选B。 7．细节理解题。根据“When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. You take in fresh air. All of these things are important.”可知，当你参与体育时，你会外出并在阳光中锻炼，你吸入新鲜空气，所有这些都很重要。故选B。 8．篇章结构题。根据第一段“In fact, there are a lot of reasons to play sports.”可知作者首先提出有很多做运动的理由，二三四段分别阐述了做运动的理由和好处，最后一段“Maybe you’re not going to become a sports professional, but that doesn’t matter, sports will help you become a better and happier person.”进行总结，也许你不会成为一名体育专业人士，但那没关系，体育会帮助你成为一个更好、更快乐的人。可知本文是总分总结构。故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·广州市海珠区中学·期末） Athletics VS. Gardening The students of Southside School were asked to give their opinions about whether the school should run an athletic (体育运动的) program or start a vegetable garden. An athletic program is much better than gardening. How will we win the Inter-School Athletics without training? At the moment, we only do athletics for one term and the teachers train us. We need experts (专家) to teach us things like throwing and high jump. Kids should get enough exercise when they are growing up. Gardening can’t make a kid get much exercise. However, an athletic program can make it. Athletics is much better for health and lots of kids can try at the same time. I don’t think there would be enough jobs for everyone in a garden. In fact, I think a garden is a really bad idea. I don’t know why we’re even considering it. Liz, Grade 8 I think a vegetable garden is a great idea. We already do hours of sport, including athletics. And not everyone likes sport. Gardening is a great way to get exercise without worrying about whether you’re good at it, or whether you’re going to win. And you can really get exercise when you garden. There’s digging, weeding (除草) and watering. Even picking things can be hard work. And think about it: what helps you to be good at sport? You need to eat lots of fruit and vegetables. If we learn to cook all the things we grow, the garden will keep us healthy, and then we’ll be better at sport. Sam, Grade 8 9．What is one reason Liz gives for saying “garden is a really bad idea”? A．Students can’t get exercise at all by gardening. B．Some students don’t enjoy being outside. C．Some students already know how to garden. D．The garden can’t offer enough jobs for everyone. 10．Which of these points do Liz and Sam both make? A．Kids should eat vegetables. B．Kids should take exercise. C．Kids should try to win more. D．Kids should learn to cook. 11．Why does Sam say “And think about it: what helps you to be good at sport?” A．To change the topic. B．To support Liz’s idea. C．To introduce his next reason. D．To explain health is important. 【答案】9．D 10．B 11．C 【导语】本文以Liz和Sam为例，介绍了南城学校进行的应该开展体育项目还是开设菜园所展开的讨论，代表了两种对立的观点：Liz支持体育运动，Sam支持园艺；但是他们都认为应该让孩子们多锻炼身体。 9．细节理解题。根据“I don’t think there would be enough jobs for everyone in a garden.”可知，园艺不能给每个人提供足够的工作，所以她说园艺是一个坏主意。故选D。 10．细节理解题。根据“Kids should get enough exercise when they are growing up.”以及“Gardening is a great way to get exercise”可知，他们两个都认为孩子应该锻炼身体。故选B。 11．推理判断题。根据“And think about it: what helps you to be good at sport? You need to eat lots of fruit and vegetables. If we learn to cook all the things we grow, the garden will keep us healthy, and then we’ll be better at sport.”可知这是Sam支持园艺的另一个理由：我们需要吃很多水果和蔬菜，如果我们学会烹饪我们种植的所有东西，花园会让我们保持健康，然后我们会更擅长运动。故选C。 主题03 人与自然——人与动物 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·惠州中学·期末） If you travel by air across the center of Africa or South America, you will fly over forests for thousands of kilometers.

People travel to watch monkey shows, hug baby tigers and swim with dolphins. It might look like fun, but there are reports that animals are hurt now and again. The World Animal Protection (WAP) says that up to 550,000 wild animals are exposed (暴露) to ill treatment around the world; in Cambodia, for example, it’s been reported that elephants have died after carrying tourists for long in hot weather. This is getting attention—over 100 travel companies have promised that they will no longer open up such places. However, some people argue that animal tourism isn’t always as bad as it seems. So what do you think? Group YesAnimals weren’t put on this planet for enjoyment. They should be free to live as they choose. The way animals are treated is often cruel and causes much pain. Even if treated well, they cannot act in the same way as they would in the wild. We don’t need wildlife tourism. We can see animals close up in their natural home in TV programs. There’s no need to disturb (打扰) them in real life. Group NoIt is enjoyable and educational for people to communicate with the wonderful animals. The more people know about them, the more they want to protect them. Wildlife tourism brings money to poor areas and may be the only way for some people to make a living. Not all animals are treated badly. Some endangered animals are under the protection of programs that look after rare species (稀有物种). 6．How many wild animals are facing bad treatment according to WAP? A．More than 100. B．Hundreds. C．Thousands. D．About 550,000. 7．The underlined words “such places” refer to (指) the places for ________. A．foreign travelers B．sick elephants C．wildlife protection D．animal tourism 8．What opinion do the two groups have in common? A．Animals can live wherever they like. B．Wildlife should be protected. C．Animal tourism supports poor people. D．Wildlife is well looked after. 9．What is the text mainly about? A．Ways of protecting rare species. B．Different opinions on wildlife tourism. C．How to bring tourists enjoyment. D．Whether to collect information on wildlife. 【答案】6．D 7．D 8．B 9．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了对于野生动物旅游项目，目前所存在的两种不同的观点。 6．细节理解题。根据“The World Animal Protection (WAP) says that up to 550,000 wild animals are exposed (暴露) to ill treatment around the world”可知，WAP提到在世界各地多达550000个野生动物受到虐待。故选D。 7．词句猜测题。根据“The World Animal Protection (WAP) says that up to 550,000 wild animals are exposed (暴露) to ill...tourists for long in hot weather. ”可知，WAP提到在世界各地多达550000个野生动物受到虐待，比如在柬埔寨大象因为在炎热的天气下长时间载游客而死亡，因此such places指的就是以动物作为旅游项目的地方。故选D。 8．推理判断题。根据“Animals weren’t put on this planet for enjoyment. They should be free to live as they choose.”以及“The more people know about them, the more they want to protect them.”可知，这两组的共同观点是，野生生物应该受到保护。故选B。 9．主旨大意题。根据文中讲述了对于野生动物是否应该作为旅游项目，目前存在两种不同的观点，因此文章主要讲的是对于野生动物旅游项目的不同观点。故选B。 Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·番禺区市桥镇星海中学·期末） ①There are many arguments(争论) for and against children owning pets. Pets help to keep children company, help to keep children fit, and they also help children to learn new responsibilities. However, pets can be dangerous. They require a lot of care, and they cost a lot of money to be taken care of properly. ②The first argument that supports pet ownership by children is that they are good company. When children come home from school, pets are always there to greet them. They love children and are always willing to play. As a result, children will be less likely to experience loneliness. They will also help to keep children active as they will need to be walked and played with every day. ③Secondly, owning a pet encourages children to learn new responsibilities. Pets need to be looked after and be taken care of every day. Children will learn different skills that they can use later in life. For example, washing and feeding pets are important skills to learn. Learning these responsibilities will ensure that children will be able to look after themselves, and possibly their children one day. ④________ Some dogs, for example, may bite others, and children may become afraid of animals as a result of this happening to them. Cats also look very soft, but they do have very sharp claws(爪子). If they are treated in the wrong way, cats can use their claws to scratch. In addition, pets require a great deal of care. Many pets need to be regularly groomed, exercised and bathed. As a result of this, children may neglect their studies because they are too busy worrying about their pet and its well-being. ⑤A further argument against pet ownership is that pets are costly; buying food and maintaining their care is expensive. Finally, the cost of owning one falls on parents, and as a result, children don’t fully understand the responsibility of having one. ⑥In short, there are many arguments for and against pet ownership. Pets help to keep children company, fit, and they also help them to learn new responsibilities. However, pets can be dangerous, they require a lot of care, and they cost a lot of money to be taken care of properly. 10．Which of the following sentences can be put into ________ in Paragraph 4? A．On the other hand, some pets can be dangerous. B．As a result, some animals are very cute for children. C．So their children can look after more people at school. D．All in all, having a pet has a good influence on children. 11．The underlined word “neglect” in Paragraph 4 means ________. A．put an effort in B．pay little attention to C．have no influence on D．show great interest in 12．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 13．What’s the best title of the passage? A．New Things from Owning Pets B．Arguments about Owning Pets C．Allowing Children to Own Pets D．Looking After Pets in a Right Way 【答案】10．A 11．B 12．D 13．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，分别介绍了支持和反对孩子养宠物的观点。 10．细节理解题。根据第四段“Some dogs, for example, may bite others, and children may become afraid of animals as a result of this happening to them. Cats also look very soft, but they do have very sharp claws. If they are treated in the wrong way, cats can use their claws to scratch.”可知，狗会咬人，孩子可能会害怕；猫有锋利的爪子会抓挠。以此为例说明一些宠物很危险，故选A。 11．词义猜测题。put an effort in“努力”；pay little attention to“不怎么重视”；have no influence on“没有影响”；show great interest in“表现出极大的兴趣”。根据“because they are too busy worrying about their pet and its well-being.”可知，因为孩子们忙于担心他们的宠物，所以会忽视学习。由此可以推测neglect与“不怎么重视”意思相近。故选B。 12．篇章结构题。第一段介绍支持和反对孩子养宠物的争论有很多。第二段介绍了支持孩子养宠物的第一个论点：他们是很好的伴侣。第三段介绍了支持孩子养宠物的第二个论点：养宠物可以鼓励孩子学习新的责任。第四段介绍了反对孩子养宠物的论点：许多宠物很危险，需要恰当的照顾。第五段介绍了反对孩子养宠物的另一个论点：养宠物的成本很高。第六段总结正反两方面的观点。故选D。 13．最佳标题题。通过文章可知，本文主要讲述了对于孩子养宠物，存在支持和反对两方面的争论点。故选B。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
