专题06 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与社会——叙事忆旧 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·深圳外国语学校·期末） On a bench of Central Park, there was a businessman, who was deep in debt (债务) and could see no way out. He sat there silently, head in his hands. Suddenly, an old man appeared before him. “I can see that something is troubling you,” he said. The old man wrote out a check, and put it in his hand, saying, “Take it and pay me back here exactly one year from today.” Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come. The businessman saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D．Rockefeller, one of the richest men in the world! “I can pay off my debts in a second!” he realized. But instead, the businessman decided to put the check in his safe. Just knowing it was there might give him the power to save his business, he thought. He went back and worked hard to make his business successful. Within several months, he was out of debt and finally made money once again. Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the check. At the agreed-upon time, the old man appeared. Suddenly a nurse showed up behind the old man. She spoke to the businessman and said that the old man was mentally ill and was always telling people he was John D．Rockefeller. The businessman was shocked to hear this. All year long he’d been buying and selling, believing that he had half a million dollars behind him. Suddenly, he realized that it wasn’t the money, real or imagined, that had turned his life around.

However, as they walked on, they found they were lost. Becky started to cry wildly. “Surely, your mother will see tonight that you haven’t come back,” Tom said. “She’ll send people out to look for vou.” Becky thought for a moment and then started to cry even harder. “Oh, Tom. She thinks that I’m sleeping at the Harpers tonight. She won’t find that I’m missing until late the next morning!” “Alright, Becky. Let’s not cry. We should just keep walking. As long as we walk, there’s hope.” So they walked with no idea where they were going. Tom, after a while, had to put out the candle in order to save it.

I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time. When I was a little girl, I never dared ask strangers the way. So I used to walk round in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to. Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive useless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way, I always say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.” Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him.

But that is considered normal when you’re born and raised on a pirate (海盗) ship. My father was the first mate (大副) on the large sailing ship known as the Salty Dog. He was the trusted friend of the captain—in charge of keeping the sailors in line and keeping the ship in good shape and on course. My mother was the lookout who climbed high up to the crow’s nest (桅杆瞭望台) with her spyglass to look out for other ships and signs of land. When I was a baby, she always held me as she climbed up to the top part of the ship and showed me the world. When I wasn’t in the crow’s nest, I was in the ship’s galley with the cook, learning how to make food for the sailors who had no table manners and never remembered to say “please” or “thank you”. Food had to be good, or else they’d throw their cups at your head. I learned to stay out of range (范围) after the food was served. As pirates, the sailors attacked ships and grabbed valuable things. Because I was still a child, I wasn’t allowed to join in that. When I was five, we sailed into the Montego Bay. The local police caught all the sailors including my parents as soon as they landed. I was left alone on the Salty Dog ship. Fifteen years later, when my parents left the prison, they got on the ship where I had learned to sail in their absence. We set out once again on the sea. But this time, I was the one wearing the captain’s hat. And we set out not as pirates. We set out to help those who met troubles on the sea. 6．Which might be the writer’s father’s task? A．Repairing the ship. B．Cooking for sailors. C．Watching out for other ships. D．Giving orders to sailors as the captain. 7．What do we know about the writer from Para. 3? A．He was not polite to the sailors. B．He knew a lot of table manners. C．He ran away after taking food to the sailors. D．He didn’t mind whether the food was delicious. 8．What happened after the writer arrived at the Montego Bay? A．His family bought a lot of valuable things. B．His parents were caught by the police.

A．He loved the captain’s hat. B．He was going to save sailors. C．He would set out as a pirate. D．He became the captain of the ship. 10．Which word can describe the writer according to the last paragraph? A．Kind. B．Smart. C．Careful. D．Open-minded. 【答案】6．A 7．C 8．B 9．D 10．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者在海盗船上的成长经历，以及后来成为船长并帮助海上遇险者的故事。 6．细节理解题。根据“He was the trusted friend of the captain—in charge of keeping the sailors in line and keeping the ship in good shape and on course.”可知，作者的父亲是船长的得力助手，负责管理船员、维护船只并确保航行方向正确。即作者的父亲负责修理船只。故选A。 7．细节理解题。根据“I learned to stay out of range (范围) after the food was served.”可知，作者在给船员送完食物后会跑开。故选C。 8．细节理解题。根据“The local police caught all the sailors including my parents as soon as they landed.”可知，作者到达蒙特哥湾后，作者的父母被警察抓走了。故选B。 9．词句猜测题。根据“I was the one wearing the captain’s hat.”可知，作者戴上了船长的帽子。由此可知，作者成为了船长。故选D。 10．推理判断题。根据“We set out to help those who met troubles on the sea.”可知，作者出发去帮助海上遇险的人。由此可知，作者是善良的。故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·广东省广州市海珠区南五中学·期末） I teach economics in a university three times every week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth (智齿) removed. Then he went on to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful. His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before: Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to live that day. I said, “I choose to be cheerful.” “Let me give you an example,” I continued. Besides teaching here, I also teach at a college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t work. So I put my flashers on, took my books, and walked down the road to the college. When I got there, I called AAA (美国汽车协会) and asked for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary there asked me what had happened. “This is my lucky day,” I replied, smiling. “Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day? What do you mean?” “My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn’t,” I replied. “Instead, it broke down at the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to ask for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged (安排) in a more convenient way.” I ended my story. In spite of the early hour, no one in my class seemed to be asleep.

On June 9, he became a big hit online by selling agricultural products through livestreaming (直播). Agricultural products, like fruit and vegetables, are from plants or animals. Unlike other livestreamers, Dong talked about what he would usually talk about in a classroom, both in Chinese as well as in English, before coming to the point. But his viewers just love it. “It’s very good,” someone says. “I feel like being in a classroom.” That very evening, sales from his livestreaming reached 15 million yuan ($2.23 million), while his video was put on the daily hot list on popular short-video platform Douyin. New Oriental is finally seeing hope after a year of struggle. It faced its biggest challenge after the Ministry of Education introduced a national policy banning (禁止) after-school training in July. New Oriental finally found a way to overcome its difficulty: Selling agricultural products through livestreaming. Its struggle should serve as an inspiration for other organizations that have been badly hit because of the new policy. In fact, several video-sharing apps are already planning to attract live streamers for agricultural sales. By October 2021, at least one app had got 126,000 “new farmers” born after 1995, who could clearly tell their viewers how they were growing fruits and vegetables and attracting more people to buy their products. There are yoga and boxing teachers, as well as carpenters (木匠), who share their knowledge or skills online and make money. It’s a new lease of life. 15．What does the underlined phrase “a big hit” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．stressful B．special C．powerful D．popular 16．Why do the viewers love Dong Yuhui’s livestream? A．Because he develops a livestream style of his own. B．Because he was an English teacher at New Oriental. C．Because he sells agricultural products at a low price. D．Because he teaches his viewers English and Chinese. 17．What was New Oriental’s difficult challenge? A．Policies banned the after-school training. B．People no longer chose to be its customers. C．It was difficult to sell agricultural products. D．This company was short of English teachers. 18．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A．Dong Yuhui was once an English teacher and now is a livestreamer. B．Dong Yuhui shares how to grow fruits and vegetables to his viewers. C．Video-sharing apps want to attract live streamers for agricultural sale. D．Now people share their knowledge and skills online to make money. 19．What is the main idea of this passage? A．New Oriental finally found a special way to regain its success. B．Video-sharing apps are rising a challenge to agricultural sales. C．Dong Yuhui’s way of livestreaming set an example for people. D．12600 “new farmers” are now leading a new way of life online 【答案】15．D 16．A 17．A 18．B 19．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了新东方英语老师董宇辉通过直播销售农产品大受欢迎，为新东方在政策调整后找到新的发展方向，同时该模式也为其他受政策影响的机构提供了启示，展现了在线分享知识和技能以谋生的新趋势。 15．词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“On June 9, he became a big hit online by selling agricultural products through livestreaming (直播). ...That very evening, sales from his livestreaming reached 15 million yuan ($2.23 million), while his video was put on the daily hot list on popular short-video platform Douyin.”可知，董宇辉通过直播销售农产品，当晚销售额就达到了1500万元，视频还登上了热门短视频平台抖音的每日热门榜单，由此可推测出他变得很受欢迎，所以“a big hit”在此处意为“受欢迎的”。故选D。 16．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Unlike other livestreamers, Dong talked about what he would usually talk about in a classroom, both in Chinese as well as in English, before coming to the point. But his viewers just love it.”可知，与其他主播不同，董宇辉在直播时会像在课堂上一样，用中文和英文讲述一些内容，而观众们喜欢这种直播风格，即他发展出了自己独特的直播风格。故选A。 17．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“It faced its biggest challenge after the Ministry of Education introduced a national policy banning (禁止) after-school training in July.”可知，新东方面临的最大挑战是教育部出台了一项禁止课外培训的国家政策。故选A。 18．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“By October 2021, at least one app had got 126,000 ‘new farmers’ born after 1995, who could clearly tell their viewers how they were growing fruits and vegetables and attracting more people to buy their products.”可知，是至少有一个应用程序有12.6万名1995年后出生的“新农民”，他们能够清楚地告诉观众他们是如何种植水果和蔬菜的，从而吸引更多的人购买他们的产品，而不是董宇辉分享如何种植水果和蔬菜给观众，所以B选项的表述是错误的。故选B。 19．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“On June 9, he became a big hit online by selling agricultural products through livestreaming (直播).”，第二段“Unlike other livestreamers, Dong talked about what he would usually talk about in a classroom, both in Chinese as well as in English, before coming to the point. But his viewers just love it.”以及后文对新东方因此找到新发展道路、其他机构受此启发等内容可知，文章主要讲述了董宇辉通过直播销售农产品大受欢迎，为新东方找到了新的发展方向，同时也为其他受政策影响的机构提供了启示，展现了在线分享知识和技能以谋生的新趋势，所以C选项“董宇辉的直播方式为人们树立了榜样”最符合文章主旨。故选C。 主题03 人与自然——人与动植物 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·广东省广州市白云区珠江实验学校·期末） One day, Jack finds a hawk (鹰) lying beside a box when walking home. One of its wings looks broken. Jack takes off his T-shirt to hold it carefully. Then he carries it home. Jack’s mum doesn’t like animals in the house, so Jack hides it in the garden shed (棚子). He secretly puts it down on the floor with his T-shirt and names it Falco. When he gets into the house, his parents get quite angry because of the missing T-shirt. Jack can’t fall asleep because he is worrying about Falco. In the early morning, Jack takes some bread to feed Falco secretly. After breakfast, Jack takes a small bowl of water for it. He finds it sitting quietly in a corner, the bread still on the floor. Jack looks at it, imagining it flying in the sky. “How can I help you return to the sky, Falco?” When Jack leaves the shed, his brother Jim is waiting outside. “What’s so interesting there?” “Nothing.” “Tell me the truth, Jack. I think you haven’t forgotten my broken rocket!” Jack tells him the truth. Jim becomes very excited. “Jim, please keep it secret. I can repair your rocket.” “My rocket isn’t important, Jack. But Falco is!” Then they decide to get help from their friend Holly who knows a lot about animals. Holly advises them to feed Falco some meat. They take the advice. Jack even digs up worms for it. Falco soon gets much better. But it still can’t fly. One morning, after watching it for a while, Holly says, “Falco is well enough to fly again!” Hearing this, they happily open the door, and watch Falco step into the sunlight slowly. Falco tries to fly in small circles, then in large ones. Suddenly, it makes a loud cry and flies away. Jack feels a bit sad, but he knows they are right.

Suddenly, he found a hawk (鹰) lying beside a box. Very curiously, he began to check it. The hawk seemed to be in pain. One of its wings looked broken, touching the ground. Its eyes looked scared. So Jack took off his T-shirt and packed it carefully round the hawk. Then he carried it home. “I can’t take him into the house,” he thought. “My mum doesn’t like animals in the house!” Thinking for a while, Jack decided to hide the hawk in the garden shed. He secretly put the hawk down on the floor with his T-shirt. Looking at the hawk, he said, “It’s your home now. Call you Falco, OK?” In the early morning, Jack took some bread to feed Falco and went back to his room secretly. After breakfast, Jack went to the garden shed, holding a small bowl of water. In the shed, he found Falco sitting quietly in a corner and the bread was still on the floor. Falco’s eyes were open, but not bright now. Jack put the water in front of Falco. At first, Falco ignored it, then he began to drink. Jack sat quietly, looking at him, imagining Falco flying in the endless blue sky. But now he was trapped on the earth. “How can I help you return to the sky, Falco?” When Jack left the shed, his brother Jim was waiting for him outside. Jack had to tell his brother the truth. Then the brothers discussed how to feed Falco excitedly. They decided to get help from their friend Holly because she knew a lot about animals and nature. Later, the brothers went to Holly. Holly advised them to feed some meat to Falco. Over the next few days, Falco got much better. He always ate the food Jack and Jim brought and enjoyed the worms Jack dug up in the park. His feathers looked good, but he couldn’t fly. One morning, Holly checked Falco and said, “Falco is well enough to fly again!” Then they happily opened the door. Falco beat his wings and tried to fly in small circles, then in large ones. Suddenly, he made a loud cry and flew away. Jack felt a bit sad, but he knew they were right. 5．What’s wrong with the hawk?

It looked sad and lost, just sitting in the middle of the road. It seemed unsure of what to do as it lay down and looked at the passing traffic. At first, I crossed over to the other side, hoping that somebody else would care for the dog. However, nobody seemed to mind the dog, only passing him by. Realizing that the dog might suddenly get up and walk into traffic, I decided I must do something to help it. When the light changed, I saw my chance. I guided the dog to a street corner to keep it safe from the passing cars. Slowly but surely, I was able to encourage the dog to keep walking until I made sure it got to a safe place. Then I messaged a dog shelter (收容所) to let them know about the dog’s location. After sending the message, I turned to the dog again and wanted to check how it was. Yet, the dog was gone. Sometimes unexpected events (事件) happen in our daily life, and what matters is how we react (反应) to them. Though I’m always shy in these situations, I am glad I helped a dog in need, even if just for a moment. 9．What did the writer do at first after he saw the dog? A．He took the dog to a street corner.

They shouted “nuo, nuo” in a loud voice to scare away evil spirits. Though a lot has changed since then, a special class in a middle school in Pingxiang, Jiangxi Province, is taught where students can learn how to recreate these Nuo masks. They draw outlines on a pumpkin or melon, then carefully carve out the eyes, nose and mouth. “These exercises are important for anyone who wants to be a Nuo mask maker,” said their teacher, 59-year-old Peng Guolong, who is one of the first-generation inheritors of Nuo mask carving to keep this tradition alive. Peng said, “Nuo is our traditional culture in Pingxiang. When we were young, we danced the Nuo dance. But it’s hard to pass it on.” The good news is that Nuo masks, known for their intricate (复杂的) designs, are gradually gaining popularity in the market. “These days, they aren’t often used in rituals (仪式), but many people buy Nuo masks to display at home as art. I’ve got a lot of them in my house, too.” Peng said. “I first discovered painting when I was 8. By the time I was 13, my father had taught me the arts of oil painting, Nuo mask carving and embroidery (刺绣),” he said. When he was 25, he worked in a company in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, as a painter and designer. In 1996, Peng returned to his hometown to set up a Nuo mask carving factory. At the 2010 Poyang Lake Ecological (生态的) Festival held in Nanchang capital of Jiangxi, Peng’s Nuo masks were a huge success, selling out immediately, and even the masks he created on the spot were pre-ordered by customers. Since then, his Nuo masks have become popular in cities such as Guangzhou, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Beijing, and have even been exported to the United States and Japan. Peng believes that ▲. So far, he has trained 30 apprentices (徒弟).

But he is also big in a different way—he fights hard to protect China’s past. His real name is Feng Jicai and he has written many novels about life in China. Several years ago, however, he put down his pen for a while and began to protect the cultural relics (文化遗产) in Tianjin where he lived. Once someone asked him why he no longer wrote. He replied that at the moment he felt protecting cultural relics was more important. Feng loves his hometown. He believes that old things must be given a place next to new things, or people will soon forget their great past. He does not make speeches to get others to help him in his projects. Instead, he goes out and does what he can himself. One of his biggest projects was to protect the oldest street in Tianjin. Along that street some shops had been in business for seven hundred years. Although the city government rebuilt this street, they did save its oldest building. Another project was more successful: he suggested the city government reserve (保留) some land in the centre of the city so it could not be sold for business. This area is very important for the history of Tianjin. It was here that the city was first built during the Song Dynasty. Later, many treasures were found here. To Feng, digging down into the earth is like reading a book page after page. Each dynasty found in the earth is like an interesting story. Not long ago, he and other writers and artists took photos of the old parts of Tianjin. The photos were put into a book which was very popular. The money from the book helps his projects. Once, an old man asked Feng to sign a book for him, saying he would give it to his grandson who was not yet born. Feng was glad to do it, and he knows that the past is not only for us to enjoy but also for the children of the future. 9．What did Big Feng do to protect old things in Tianjin?

Hernandez said, “It shows that people care about the environment here and are remembering where they come from. I think it is important to show other people the culture and continue passing down the sea urchin zongzi cooking skills. People take a lot of pride in this.” Before saying goodbye, Zhang gave the American a box of sea urchin zongzi as a gift. “I was thinking about how to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival with friends.

She was always graceful and shaped the way I see the world. She always spoke softly and walked slowly with her hands behind her back. I copied her every move, and our neighbours called me her shadow. In 1995, I moved to California to live with my mother. My new house was a world away from Grandma’s little home. My mother enjoyed loud music instead of the news or fun shows I used to listen to. The house was often filled with the laughter and loud talking of her guests. I felt clearly out of place. I walked around my room like Grandma — with my hands behind my back. My mother watched me for two weeks. Then, one night, she sat me down. “Maya,” she said. “I know you don’t like me because I am not like your grandma. I am not. But I am your mother and I am working hard to keep the roof over your head and to take care of you. When you go to school, the teacher will smile at you and you’ll smile back. Other students you don’t even know will smile and you’ll smile. If you can force a smile for strangers, do it for me. I’ll be thankful.” She placed her hand on my cheek and smiled. “Come on, baby, smile for Mommy.” She made a funny face and, against my wishes, I smiled. She hugged me and started to cry. “That’s the first time I’ve seen you smile! It’s a beautiful smile. Mother’s beautiful daughter can smile!” I had never been called beautiful before, and no one in my memory had ever called me a daughter. That day, I learned just how powerful a smile can be. 6．Why was Maya called the shadow of her grandma? A．Because she was graceful and spoke softly. B．Because she was brought up by her grandma. C．Because she walked slowly like her grandma. D．Because she copied every move of her grandma. 7．How old was Maya when she started to live with her mother? A．Ten. B．Thirteen. C．Fourteen.

Then one Friday morning, I took part in a three-day self-help program for teenagers. Whether you believe it or not, that weekend changed my life. About 100 other teenagers join in the program. During the first two days, I met a lot of great people. I was glad because I made so many friends there. On Sunday, the leader played an interesting game called “Chocolate or Toys”. He asked a girl which she liked better, chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate. Of course, she didn’t have a choice. This game told us that sometimes we don’t have a choice in life, and that sometimes we have to accept something, rather than complaining (抱怨). A girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was always crazy about drinking alcohol (酒) and how much she hated her mother. “I want a new mom,” she cried. “But you can’t have a new one,” the leader replied. “You have to accept the mother that you have.” This hit me hard. I realized that, for better or worse, my mom was my mom. I couldn’t choose another mom. But I could see my mother in a new way. She was busy with work day and night not because she didn’t care about me, but to give me a better life. I should accept her and value the time we could have together. Accept things as they are, and better life and love will follow. 11．The writer used to hate his mother because ________.

She was busy with work day and night not because she didn’t care about me, but to give me a better life.”可知，“That hit me hard”这句话想表达的意思是那领袖的话打动了作者。故选C。 15．推理判断题。根据“I should accept her and value the time we could have together. Accept things as they are, and better life and love will follow.”及通读全文可知，在自助计划结束之后，作者可能会尽量同他的母亲相处融洽。故选B。 主题03 人与自然——航天与航空 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·广东省深圳市外国语学校·期末） In September, NASA astronaut Frank Rubio returned from spending over a year in space. His record and his efforts were celebrated. But questions remained about a tomato that had gone missing while he was in space. Now, the mystery tomato has been found. In his time on the International Space Station (ISS), Mr. Rubio, along with other astronauts, worked on several experiments, one of which aimed to grow tomatoes in a soil-free environment using only air and water. The goal of the experiment was to learn how to grow fruits and vegetables to help feed astronauts on long trips through space. When the plant finally produced tomatoes, all of the astronauts on board the ISS got to taste them. Except Mr. Rubio. He had lost his tomato. Mr. Rubio had put the tomato in a plastic bag, and had brought it out to show to some students who were on a video call. Mr. Rubio believed that he had used Velcro (魔术贴) to attach the bag to part of the ISS. But when he came back afterward, he found that the bag was gone. Because there is so little gravity on the ISS, things, that are not attached can simply float away. Mr. Rubio always believed that was what had happened to the tomato. But the other members of the ISS crew enjoyed teasing Mr. Rubio about the missing tomato. They claimed that he ate it, but just didn’t want to admit it. It became a joke among the astronauts. Mr, Rubio says he spent many hours looking for the tomato. But his search came up empty. He believed that the tomato had dried out, and someone else had found it and threw it away. But the joking about the tomato continued even after Mr. Rubio returned to Earth. Reporters asked him about it. One of P NASA’s leaders even jokingly asked Mr. Rubio if he’d eaten the tomato. “I wish I had at this point,” he replied, “because I think everybody thinks I did.” Last week, the mystery was solved, in a video call with NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli. She said she could now clear Mr, Rubio’s name: “We found the tomato,” she announced. NASA has not said where the crew found the tomato or what it looked like when it was finally discovered. 1．What is the aim of the tomato-growing experiment? A．To see how air and water influence the growth of tomatoes. B．To help astronauts learn the skill of growing fruits and vegetables. C．To develop a method for a continuous food supply for long space travel. D．To compare the taste of tomatoes grown in space and those grown on Earth. 2．What did Mr. Rubio do with the tomato before realizing it was missing? A．He put it near a bag of Velcro. B．He used it as part of an experiment. C．He shared it with other astronauts on the ISS. D．He presented it to students during a video call. 3．What does the underlined word “teasing” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Criticizing. B．Kidding. C．Helping. D．Admiring. 4．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．The missing tomato was found by Jasmin Moghbeli. B．Moghbeli described what the tomato looked like in her call. C．Mr. Rubio was proven not to have eaten the missing tomato. D．The tomato’s disappearance was a joke played by the ISS crew. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Astronauts’ Life in Space Station B．Unusual Experiments in Space Station C．Rubio’s Record-Breaking Space Mission D．Space Station’s Lost and Found: A Tomato Tale 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了美国宇航员Frank Rubio在空间站寻找丢失的西红柿的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“The goal of the experiment was to learn how to grow fruits and vegetables to help feed astronauts on long trips through space.”可知，实验的目的是为了在长时间的太空旅行中为宇航员提供持续的食物供应。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Mr. Rubio had put the tomato in a plastic bag, and had brought it out to show to some students who were on a video call.”可知，Rubio在发现番茄丢失之前，把它展示给了视频通话中的学生们。故选D。 3．词义猜测题。根据划线词后文“They claimed that he ate it, but just didn’t want to admit it.

The first Chinese astronaut Yang Liwei wrote it to describe his one day in space. We can find it in the seventh-grade Chinese textbook in middle schools. After reading it, many people are moved by Yang’s courage. Yang was 38 years old when he first went into space alone on Shenzhou V on October 15, 2003, making China the third country to master manned space technology. In his article, he talked about some dangerous moments when he didn’t think he could travel back. “When the rocket (火箭) was at a height of about 30-40 kilometers above the ground, I felt it started to vibrate violently (剧烈地震动) and that made me really uncomfortable. I thought I was going to die,” he said. The very dangerous moment lasted for 26 seconds. When it was over, he felt like he was reborn. Yang described the mysterious knocking sounds from the outside in the article. He still does not know where they came from. He also described what the earth, his country and his city looked like from space. “I flew over Beijing and saw the mountains during the day and the lights at night. My family and friends live there.” Yang shared another interesting story in the article. After some tries, he still couldn’t see the Great Wall, though many people thought astronauts could see it from space. After he returned to the earth happily, Yang told scientists about the vibration and they solved the problem. Later, more Chinese astronauts went to space. When talking about this, Yang said he was happy to know those Chinese astronauts could stay in space more comfortably. 11．How many countries had mastered manned space technology before China? A．One.

Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time. When I was a little girl, I never dared ask strangers the way. So I used to walk round in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to. Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive useless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way, I always say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.” Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office. When I just got to my office, the secretary (秘书) showed the man in who had asked me for directions.

Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·广东省深圳光明区外国语学校·期末） Most babies’ first words are something like “Dada” or “Mama”. Mine was “Ahoy!” instead. But that is considered normal when you’re born and raised on a pirate (海盗) ship. My father was the first mate (大副) on the large sailing ship known as the Salty Dog. He was the trusted friend of the captain—in charge of keeping the sailors in line and keeping the ship in good shape and on course. My mother was the lookout who climbed high up to the crow’s nest (桅杆瞭望台) with her spyglass to look out for other ships and signs of land. When I was a baby, she always held me as she climbed up to the top part of the ship and showed me the world. When I wasn’t in the crow’s nest, I was in the ship’s galley with the cook, learning how to make food for the sailors who had no table manners and never remembered to say “please” or “thank you”. Food had to be good, or else they’d throw their cups at your head. I learned to stay out of range (范围) after the food was served. As pirates, the sailors attacked ships and grabbed valuable things. Because I was still a child, I wasn’t allowed to join in that. When I was five, we sailed into the Montego Bay. The local police caught all the sailors including my parents as soon as they landed. I was left alone on the Salty Dog ship. Fifteen years later, when my parents left the prison, they got on the ship where I had learned to sail in their absence. We set out once again on the sea. But this time, I was the one wearing the captain’s hat. And we set out not as pirates. We set out to help those who met troubles on the sea. 6．Which might be the writer’s father’s task? A．Repairing the ship. B．Cooking for sailors. C．Watching out for other ships. D．Giving orders to sailors as the captain. 7．What do we know about the writer from Para. 3? A．He was not polite to the sailors. B．He knew a lot of table manners. C．He ran away after taking food to the sailors. D．He didn’t mind whether the food was delicious. 8．What happened after the writer arrived at the Montego Bay? A．His family bought a lot of valuable things. B．His parents were caught by the police. C．The police welcomed them and offered help. D．The sailors sent his family including him to prison. 9．What did the writer mean by saying “I was the one wearing the captain’s hat”? A．He loved the captain’s hat. B．He was going to save sailors. C．He would set out as a pirate. D．He became the captain of the ship. 10．Which word can describe the writer according to the last paragraph? A．Kind. B．Smart. C．Careful. D．Open-minded. Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·广东省广州市海珠区南五中学·期末） I teach economics in a university three times every week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth (智齿) removed. Then he went on to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful. His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before: Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to live that day. I said, “I choose to be cheerful.” “Let me give you an example,” I continued. Besides teaching here, I also teach at a college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t work. So I put my flashers on, took my books, and walked down the road to the college. When I got there, I called AAA (美国汽车协会) and asked for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary there asked me what had happened. “This is my lucky day,” I replied, smiling. “Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day? What do you mean?” “My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn’t,” I replied. “Instead, it broke down at the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to ask for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged (安排) in a more convenient way.” I ended my story. In spite of the early hour, no one in my class seemed to be asleep.

On June 9, he became a big hit online by selling agricultural products through livestreaming (直播). Agricultural products, like fruit and vegetables, are from plants or animals. Unlike other livestreamers, Dong talked about what he would usually talk about in a classroom, both in Chinese as well as in English, before coming to the point. But his viewers just love it. “It’s very good,” someone says. “I feel like being in a classroom.” That very evening, sales from his livestreaming reached 15 million yuan ($2.23 million), while his video was put on the daily hot list on popular short-video platform Douyin. New Oriental is finally seeing hope after a year of struggle. It faced its biggest challenge after the Ministry of Education introduced a national policy banning (禁止) after-school training in July. New Oriental finally found a way to overcome its difficulty: Selling agricultural products through livestreaming. Its struggle should serve as an inspiration for other organizations that have been badly hit because of the new policy. In fact, several video-sharing apps are already planning to attract live streamers for agricultural sales. By October 2021, at least one app had got 126,000 “new farmers” born after 1995, who could clearly tell their viewers how they were growing fruits and vegetables and attracting more people to buy their products. There are yoga and boxing teachers, as well as carpenters (木匠), who share their knowledge or skills online and make money. It’s a new lease of life. 15．What does the underlined phrase “a big hit” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．stressful B．special C．powerful D．popular 16．Why do the viewers love Dong Yuhui’s livestream? A．Because he develops a livestream style of his own. B．Because he was an English teacher at New Oriental. C．Because he sells agricultural products at a low price. D．Because he teaches his viewers English and Chinese. 17．What was New Oriental’s difficult challenge? A．Policies banned the after-school training. B．People no longer chose to be its customers. C．It was difficult to sell agricultural products. D．This company was short of English teachers. 18．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A．Dong Yuhui was once an English teacher and now is a livestreamer. B．Dong Yuhui shares how to grow fruits and vegetables to his viewers. C．Video-sharing apps want to attract live streamers for agricultural sale. D．Now people share their knowledge and skills online to make money. 19．What is the main idea of this passage? A．New Oriental finally found a special way to regain its success. B．Video-sharing apps are rising a challenge to agricultural sales. C．Dong Yuhui’s way of livestreaming set an example for people. D．12600 “new farmers” are now leading a new way of life online 主题03 人与自然——人与动植物 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·广东省广州市白云区珠江实验学校·期末） One day, Jack finds a hawk (鹰) lying beside a box when walking home.

The hawk seemed to be in pain. One of its wings looked broken, touching the ground. Its eyes looked scared. So Jack took off his T-shirt and packed it carefully round the hawk. Then he carried it home. “I can’t take him into the house,” he thought. “My mum doesn’t like animals in the house!” Thinking for a while, Jack decided to hide the hawk in the garden shed. He secretly put the hawk down on the floor with his T-shirt. Looking at the hawk, he said, “It’s your home now. Call you Falco, OK?” In the early morning, Jack took some bread to feed Falco and went back to his room secretly. After breakfast, Jack went to the garden shed, holding a small bowl of water.

But now he was trapped on the earth. “How can I help you return to the sky, Falco?” When Jack left the shed, his brother Jim was waiting for him outside. Jack had to tell his brother the truth. Then the brothers discussed how to feed Falco excitedly. They decided to get help from their friend Holly because she knew a lot about animals and nature. Later, the brothers went to Holly.

Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·广东肇庆中学·期末） One evening, as I was riding my bike home, I saw a big dirty dog. It looked sad and lost, just sitting in the middle of the road. It seemed unsure of what to do as it lay down and looked at the passing traffic. At first, I crossed over to the other side, hoping that somebody else would care for the dog. However, nobody seemed to mind the dog, only passing him by. Realizing that the dog might suddenly get up and walk into traffic, I decided I must do something to help it. When the light changed, I saw my chance. I guided the dog to a street corner to keep it safe from the passing cars. Slowly but surely, I was able to encourage the dog to keep walking until I made sure it got to a safe place. Then I messaged a dog shelter (收容所) to let them know about the dog’s location. After sending the message, I turned to the dog again and wanted to check how it was. Yet, the dog was gone.

They walked and walked only to find they came back to the same place. The army felt hungry and cold. At that time, the minister Guan Zhong picked out some old horses and set them free. The horses started to walk by themselves. The army followed the old horses. Soon, they found their way and walked out of the mountains. In the Spring and Autumn period, the State of Wu and the State of Yue didn’t get along well. They were fighting for years. People in each state didn’t have a good relationship, either. One day, the people of Wu and Yue happened to be on the same boat to cross a river. When the boat was in the center of the river, a strong wind came. It seemed the boat would turn over anytime.

Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·广东省深圳市福田外国语学校·期末） As far back as the Shang Dynasty, people wore carved (雕刻) masks made of bone and shells. They shouted “nuo, nuo” in a loud voice to scare away evil spirits. Though a lot has changed since then, a special class in a middle school in Pingxiang, Jiangxi Province, is taught where students can learn how to recreate these Nuo masks. They draw outlines on a pumpkin or melon, then carefully carve out the eyes, nose and mouth. “These exercises are important for anyone who wants to be a Nuo mask maker,” said their teacher, 59-year-old Peng Guolong, who is one of the first-generation inheritors of Nuo mask carving to keep this tradition alive. Peng said, “Nuo is our traditional culture in Pingxiang. When we were young, we danced the Nuo dance. But it’s hard to pass it on.” The good news is that Nuo masks, known for their intricate (复杂的) designs, are gradually gaining popularity in the market. “These days, they aren’t often used in rituals (仪式), but many people buy Nuo masks to display at home as art. I’ve got a lot of them in my house, too.” Peng said. “I first discovered painting when I was 8. By the time I was 13, my father had taught me the arts of oil painting, Nuo mask carving and embroidery (刺绣),” he said. When he was 25, he worked in a company in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, as a painter and designer. In 1996, Peng returned to his hometown to set up a Nuo mask carving factory. At the 2010 Poyang Lake Ecological (生态的) Festival held in Nanchang capital of Jiangxi, Peng’s Nuo masks were a huge success, selling out immediately, and even the masks he created on the spot were pre-ordered by customers. Since then, his Nuo masks have become popular in cities such as Guangzhou, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Beijing, and have even been exported to the United States and Japan. Peng believes that ▲. So far, he has trained 30 apprentices (徒弟). He said, “I hope that in the future, with the help of factories, we can increase production and allow more people to discover and appreciate Nuo masks.” 4．Why do students in Pingxiang carve masks on pumpkins or melons?

But he is also big in a different way—he fights hard to protect China’s past. His real name is Feng Jicai and he has written many novels about life in China. Several years ago, however, he put down his pen for a while and began to protect the cultural relics (文化遗产) in Tianjin where he lived. Once someone asked him why he no longer wrote. He replied that at the moment he felt protecting cultural relics was more important. Feng loves his hometown. He believes that old things must be given a place next to new things, or people will soon forget their great past. He does not make speeches to get others to help him in his projects. Instead, he goes out and does what he can himself. One of his biggest projects was to protect the oldest street in Tianjin. Along that street some shops had been in business for seven hundred years. Although the city government rebuilt this street, they did save its oldest building. Another project was more successful: he suggested the city government reserve (保留) some land in the centre of the city so it could not be sold for business. This area is very important for the history of Tianjin. It was here that the city was first built during the Song Dynasty. Later, many treasures were found here. To Feng, digging down into the earth is like reading a book page after page. Each dynasty found in the earth is like an interesting story. Not long ago, he and other writers and artists took photos of the old parts of Tianjin. The photos were put into a book which was very popular. The money from the book helps his projects. Once, an old man asked Feng to sign a book for him, saying he would give it to his grandson who was not yet born. Feng was glad to do it, and he knows that the past is not only for us to enjoy but also for the children of the future. 9．What did Big Feng do to protect old things in Tianjin?

She was always graceful and shaped the way I see the world. She always spoke softly and walked slowly with her hands behind her back. I copied her every move, and our neighbours called me her shadow. In 1995, I moved to California to live with my mother. My new house was a world away from Grandma’s little home. My mother enjoyed loud music instead of the news or fun shows I used to listen to. The house was often filled with the laughter and loud talking of her guests. I felt clearly out of place. I walked around my room like Grandma — with my hands behind my back.

But I am your mother and I am working hard to keep the roof over your head and to take care of you. When you go to school, the teacher will smile at you and you’ll smile back. Other students you don’t even know will smile and you’ll smile. If you can force a smile for strangers, do it for me. I’ll be thankful.” She placed her hand on my cheek and smiled. “Come on, baby, smile for Mommy.” She made a funny face and, against my wishes, I smiled. She hugged me and started to cry. “That’s the first time I’ve seen you smile! It’s a beautiful smile.

Then one Friday morning, I took part in a three-day self-help program for teenagers. Whether you believe it or not, that weekend changed my life. About 100 other teenagers join in the program. During the first two days, I met a lot of great people. I was glad because I made so many friends there. On Sunday, the leader played an interesting game called “Chocolate or Toys”. He asked a girl which she liked better, chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate. Of course, she didn’t have a choice. This game told us that sometimes we don’t have a choice in life, and that sometimes we have to accept something, rather than complaining (抱怨). A girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was always crazy about drinking alcohol (酒) and how much she hated her mother. “I want a new mom,” she cried. “But you can’t have a new one,” the leader replied. “You have to accept the mother that you have.” This hit me hard. I realized that, for better or worse, my mom was my mom. I couldn’t choose another mom. But I could see my mother in a new way. She was busy with work day and night not because she didn’t care about me, but to give me a better life. I should accept her and value the time we could have together.

His record and his efforts were celebrated. But questions remained about a tomato that had gone missing while he was in space. Now, the mystery tomato has been found. In his time on the International Space Station (ISS), Mr. Rubio, along with other astronauts, worked on several experiments, one of which aimed to grow tomatoes in a soil-free environment using only air and water. The goal of the experiment was to learn how to grow fruits and vegetables to help feed astronauts on long trips through space. When the plant finally produced tomatoes, all of the astronauts on board the ISS got to taste them. Except Mr. Rubio. He had lost his tomato. Mr. Rubio had put the tomato in a plastic bag, and had brought it out to show to some students who were on a video call. Mr. Rubio believed that he had used Velcro (魔术贴) to attach the bag to part of the ISS. But when he came back afterward, he found that the bag was gone. Because there is so little gravity on the ISS, things, that are not attached can simply float away. Mr. Rubio always believed that was what had happened to the tomato. But the other members of the ISS crew enjoyed teasing Mr. Rubio about the missing tomato. They claimed that he ate it, but just didn’t want to admit it. It became a joke among the astronauts. Mr, Rubio says he spent many hours looking for the tomato. But his search came up empty. He believed that the tomato had dried out, and someone else had found it and threw it away. But the joking about the tomato continued even after Mr. Rubio returned to Earth. Reporters asked him about it. One of P NASA’s leaders even jokingly asked Mr. Rubio if he’d eaten the tomato. “I wish I had at this point,” he replied, “because I think everybody thinks I did.” Last week, the mystery was solved, in a video call with NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli. She said she could now clear Mr, Rubio’s name: “We found the tomato,” she announced. NASA has not said where the crew found the tomato or what it looked like when it was finally discovered. 1．What is the aim of the tomato-growing experiment? A．To see how air and water influence the growth of tomatoes. B．To help astronauts learn the skill of growing fruits and vegetables. C．To develop a method for a continuous food supply for long space travel. D．To compare the taste of tomatoes grown in space and those grown on Earth. 2．What did Mr. Rubio do with the tomato before realizing it was missing? A．He put it near a bag of Velcro. B．He used it as part of an experiment. C．He shared it with other astronauts on the ISS. D．He presented it to students during a video call. 3．What does the underlined word “teasing” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Criticizing. B．Kidding. C．Helping. D．Admiring. 4．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．The missing tomato was found by Jasmin Moghbeli. B．Moghbeli described what the tomato looked like in her call. C．Mr. Rubio was proven not to have eaten the missing tomato. D．The tomato’s disappearance was a joke played by the ISS crew. 5．What is the best title for the passage?

His dream of flying to space has now come true. On May 30th morning, the Shenzhou-16 went into space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre (酒泉卫星发射基地) in northwest China. In 2018, China began to select the astronauts. Unlike past choices, this time, astronaut s were chosen in three kinds: space pilots, space engineers, and payload specialist (载荷专家). Gui becomes the first payload specialist to enter space. During the Shenzhou-16 task, he will manage the payload for space science experiments. Gui grew up in a common family in Yunnan Province. His interest in space began at the age of 17 when he turned on the school radio and heard the news of Yang Liwei’s space travel in 2003. Over the past few years, Gui has been trained to use difficult equipment (设备) and do experiments in space. However, the training way was a big problem for him. “I felt very sick after the space training,” he said. “So I added more exercises, learned from other astronauts, and tried some of the training methods used by pilots. Finally, my physical ability slowly improved.” As a sports lover, Gui found happiness in training activities. And because he had the habit of doing sports, he was able to keep up with this difficult training. His spirit of not being afraid of difficulties in realizing his dream made him successful. Although he wore glasses, he was able to become an astronaut. 6．What does the underlined word “select” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Train. B．Choose. C．Search.

Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·东莞市东莞中学初中部·期末） Have you ever read the popular article One Day in Space? The first Chinese astronaut Yang Liwei wrote it to describe his one day in space. We can find it in the seventh-grade Chinese textbook in middle schools. After reading it, many people are moved by Yang’s courage. Yang was 38 years old when he first went into space alone on Shenzhou V on October 15, 2003, making China the third country to master manned space technology. In his article, he talked about some dangerous moments when he didn’t think he could travel back. “When the rocket (火箭) was at a height of about 30-40 kilometers above the ground, I felt it started to vibrate violently (剧烈地震动) and that made me really uncomfortable. I thought I was going to die,” he said. The very dangerous moment lasted for 26 seconds. When it was over, he felt like he was reborn. Yang described the mysterious knocking sounds from the outside in the article. He still does not know where they came from. He also described what the earth, his country and his city looked like from space. “I flew over Beijing and saw the mountains during the day and the lights at night. My family and friends live there.” Yang shared another interesting story in the article. After some tries, he still couldn’t see the Great Wall, though many people thought astronauts could see it from space. After he returned to the earth happily, Yang told scientists about the vibration and they solved the problem. Later, more Chinese astronauts went to space. When talking about this, Yang said he was happy to know those Chinese astronauts could stay in space more comfortably. 11．How many countries had mastered manned space technology before China? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 12．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The vibration. B．The rocket. C．The article. D．The sound. 13．In the article Yang didn’t describe_________ A．the dangerous moments B．the strange sounds C．the earth and his city D．his food and drinks 14．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
