专题03 阅读理解（说明文） 主题01： 人与自我——传统美食（糖葫芦）的制作、历史与健康影响，听力提升技巧，健康生活方式（喝水替代饮料），及留守儿童的成长支持（校园俱乐部） Passage 01 （24-25九年级上·河北石家庄·期末）Tanghulu is a Chinese snack, which has been popular on TikTok recently, with many people sharing videos of making it at home. We’ll talk about something about tanghulu. Tanghulu is traditionally made of dried hawthorn berries (山楂), which look like small red apples. Street businessmen coat the hawthorn berries with sugar syrup (糖浆). That is what makes it bright and smooth. Served on a stick, it becomes a popular hit in Chinese street markets. Couples on a date, children or teenagers looking for a treat will enjoy this fruit snack. Its popularity has spread across different countries. And other fruits like grapes, blueberries, apples, and even pineapples can be used to make tanghulu as well. Although tanghulu is made of fruits, it is certainly not the healthiest snack. For example, if you eat 20 candied fruits, you will get about 400 calories, equivalent (等同的) to a cheeseburger. While the fruits can provide Vitamin C, the sugar coating can be harmful to the tooth if you eat it too often. Historical records show that tanghulu is from Northern China. As a traditional Chinese snack, tanghulu has a long history dating back to the Song Dynasty. Many stories talk about how it started. One of them says that a woman was too ill to eat anything until a doctor suggested coating dried fruit with sugar. Whatever the truth, tanghulu becomes very popular. You can see it in theaters, streets, and tea houses. 1．What fruit is tanghulu traditionally made of? A．Grapes. B．Apples C．Strawberries.

The first sentence tells a lot about the whole passage. For example, if at the very beginning, you hear “Many shops in many parts of China have decided to take away all kinds of Japanese goods off their shelves, but some people say it’s not a good idea. Our reporter says…” you know you will hear a piece of news, nota children’s story, or a science report. ·Think when you’re listening. When you’re listening, try to do some thinking. For example, you can think of the following questions: What happened, when, where and how? What was the result and what does the speaker want to tell us?

For example, if the passage is a science report, you should try to remember its findings and how the scientists got their results. ·Don’t think about one or two words for too long.

When the concubine got better quickly, the sweet treat became famous across the country. Tanghulu later became a popular street food in China. Chinese people who moved to Republic of Korea made tanghulu popular there. In the 2010s, it was usually sold at street stands in some popular tourist places.

Passage 10 （24-25九年级上·河北石家庄·期末） Look at this robot in the picture. What do you think it is for? Scientists in China have developed the special robot to help visually impaired people (视障人士). It has six legs and can act as a “guide dog” for people who can’t see. In China, there are over 17 million visually impaired people, but there are only about 400 real guide dogs to help them. It is very hard and expensive to train guide dogs, so most visually impaired people don’t have one. The new robot can help solve the problem. It can do many things. For example, it can know what the person is saying and act quickly; it can avoid obstacles (障碍物) and find the right way to go. What’s more, the robot can be used as a helper in the home and call for help if needed. To make the robot work well, the scientists gave it many senses (感觉). It can see, hear, speak and feel. In this way, the robot can know what the person wants to do and work together with him. The robot’s six legs also make it more stable (稳定的) than other robot with just four legs. Li Fei, a visually impaired woman, tried out the robot during a test. She said that when guided her, she could walk straighter than she did on her own. The developers have already got orders for 20 of the robots. Soon they could help many visually impaired people in China. 1．How many legs does the robot have? A．3. B．4. C．5.

Whenever you are invited to a western family for dinner, to know some knowledge of western manners is very important. Here are five useful tips for you. First, be on time. To be a polite guest, be sure to get there on time. Being late as well as being too early is impolite. If you can’t get there on time, make a call as early as possible.

In Britain and the United States, people are supposed to shake hands when they meet for the first time. For friends, they may choose a hug. In France, greeting with a kiss is very common. Third, mind table manners. When having dinner, you should behave properly. For example, putting your spoon in the soup bowl is considered impolite, and don’t try to talk with your mouth full. Be careful not to make much noise when cutting things with your knife. Fourth, keep a proper talking distance. Generally, one meter between each other is perfect in Britain. However, half a meter is OK in the United States. People will feel uncomfortable when they are too close to each other or too far from each other. Last, prepare a small gift.

What would you do? You may have different choices. Firstly, you can leave the bottles there as they are. It wasn’t you who threw them away. Why should you do something about it? This is quite OK. Secondly, you can pick them up and throw them into a dustbin (垃圾箱). By doing this, you have walked a step further to help make our home clean. This action is a better choice. Thirdly, you might want to pick them up and give them to an old man or woman who collects waste for a living. If this is your choice, you have walked even further. You’re not only thinking about doing something for the environment, you’re also developing yourself to be a person who would think of others and help them. As for young kids, they may always have such a question: “When do I grow up?” When does a child grow up? And how can a kid know he or she has grown up? These are interesting questions. As for us, 15-year-olds, who are finishing middle school, we’re no longer younger children. We should know whether or not we have grown up. When we start to have a sense of offering a helping hand for a cleaner and greener world, and when we have a loving heart to think more of others than of ourselves and are ready to help them, we can say that we have grown up.

Passage 13 （24-25九年级上·河北保定·期末） Have you ever imagined what bees can do with their tiny brains? Now scientists are looking into a bee’s brain. Clint Perry, a scientist, has spent much time studying how bees think. He says studying bees is not very different from studying other animals. “The main difficulty is to design (设计) an experiment for bees and get what we want,” he says. “With humans, we can ask them a question and get an answer. But we can’t use the same way to get an answer from bees. They are just trying to get sugar. Bees like sugar.” The fact that bees like sugar is helpful for scientists to design experiments. For example, in one experiment, Perry gave bees a task: to find delicious sugar on a landing place above a black bar (棒). Perry made the task easier or harder by moving the landing place farther from or closer to the black bar. He found that bees would avoid the task when it was difficult. And when the task was easy, bees would try it. As for humans, we might choose not to take a test when we aren’t ready for it. And we might choose to take the test when we are well prepared. In the same way, bees seemed to make decisions like humans. Perry points out that we are not sure whether bees actually make a thoughtful choice from experiments. Now scientists still do not know how bees manage to do so much with their tiny brains. But learning more about how bees’ brains work could help us learn more about how our own brains deal with information. 1．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指的是)? A．Humans. B．Ways. C．Answers. D．Bees. 2．What helps scientists to design experiments according to the text? A．Bees like sugar. B．Bees are animals. C．Bees are tiny. D．Bees can fly. 3．What would bees do when the task was hard? A．Try it. B．Avoid it. C．Design it. D．Prepare it. 4．Which of the following will the writer probably agree with? A．We are certain now that bees can make a thoughtful choice. B．Scientists have known how bees do with their tiny brains. C．Looking into bees’ brains helps learn how humans’ brains work. D．Studying bees is quite different from studying other animals. 5．What could be the best title (标题) of the text? A．A Study on How Bees Think B．A Survey on Why Bees Like Sugar C．A Report about How Brains Work D．A Way about How We Design Tasks 主题01： 人与自我——电子书阅读器（Kindle、iPad 等）的功能、价格对比，提供选择参考 Passage 14 （24-25九年级上·河北唐山·期末）Kindle, Nook or iPad?

Passage 16 （24-25九年级上·河北石家庄·期末）When you’re feeling down, the right song can make you smile. It can also calm you down when you’re worried. Music may also help make your brain work better. It may even help keep you healthy. Why does music have these powers? It may be because people’s bodies have natural rhythms! (节奏). Different kinds of music can influence you in different ways. Most stores play soft music because soft music can make people relaxed and stay longer in a shop. And the longer shoppers stay in a store, the more things they buy in it. So stores try to play soft music to make people buy more things. For sick people, music can help make them get well again. Doctors believe that music is just as important as medicine in t... patients. When you’re sick, try to listen to the soft and relaxing music. If you’re upset, play a favorite song and tell someone how it makes you feel. A group of sad teenagers shared their favorite song with each other. Each teen explained why he or she liked the song. After talking about it, the teenagers said they felt better. Many studies have tried to explain how music influences learning. Don Campbell, an expert on the powers of music, believes music can make people, even babies, smarter, healthier and better. Not everyone believes it.

According to recent studies, the answer is yes: Music helps develop certain language abilities in the brain. A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were found to be able to hear better, because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. For example, when the violinists play in a band, they must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore the other sounds. In this way, musicians can hear certain sounds better, even in a room with lots of noise. Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. Dr. Schlaug was surprised to use singing words to help his patients finally speak. Why does this work? Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to be able to make different parts of the brain active, including the bad parts. In some way, this helps patients use those parts of the brain again. So music is not only enjoyable, but also good for us in many other ways. “Playing an instrument or singing,” says Nina Kraus, “can help us do better in school.” 1．What were the people asked to do in the study? A．Listen to different kinds of music. B．Make some noise in a room. C．Give some people musical training. D．Listen to a person talking in a noisy room. 2．What does the writer use the example of violinists to explain? A．How musicians play in a band. B．How musicians make beautiful sounds. C．Why musicians have better hearing ability. D．Why musicians are afraid of lots of noise. 3．What does the word “ignore” mean in the third paragraph? A．Listen to. B．Shut off. C．Find out. D．Pay no attention to. 4．How did Schlaug help his stroke patients speak? A．By playing music for them. B．By using singing words. C．By fixing the bad parts of their brains. D．By teaching them to play instruments. 5．What can be a proper title for the text? A．Ways of Playing Music B．Advice about Making Brains Active C．Results of Studying Stroke Patients D．Connection between Music and Language Passage 20 （24-25九年级上·河北邢台·期末）We know many musical instruments well, such as pianos, violins, drums and so on. What about the erhu? The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history. The modern erhu developed from the Xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities (少数民族) during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and it became quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue. As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down in oral form, so there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians usually turn to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were discovered on murals (壁画). 1．When did the erhu become a popular instrument? A．In the Tang Dynasty. B．In the Song Dynasty. C．In the Ming Dynasty. D．In the Qing Dynasty. 2．What does the underlined word “oral” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Listening. B．Spoken. C．Reading.

We’ll talk about something about tanghulu. Tanghulu is traditionally made of dried hawthorn berries (山楂), which look like small red apples. Street businessmen coat the hawthorn berries with sugar syrup (糖浆). That is what makes it bright and smooth. Served on a stick, it becomes a popular hit in Chinese street markets. Couples on a date, children or teenagers looking for a treat will enjoy this fruit snack. Its popularity has spread across different countries. And other fruits like grapes, blueberries, apples, and even pineapples can be used to make tanghulu as well. Although tanghulu is made of fruits, it is certainly not the healthiest snack. For example, if you eat 20 candied fruits, you will get about 400 calories, equivalent (等同的) to a cheeseburger. While the fruits can provide Vitamin C, the sugar coating can be harmful to the tooth if you eat it too often. Historical records show that tanghulu is from Northern China. As a traditional Chinese snack, tanghulu has a long history dating back to the Song Dynasty. Many stories talk about how it started. One of them says that a woman was too ill to eat anything until a doctor suggested coating dried fruit with sugar. Whatever the truth, tanghulu becomes very popular. You can see it in theaters, streets, and tea houses. 1．What fruit is tanghulu traditionally made of? A．Grapes. B．Apples C．Strawberries.

What do you think it is for? Scientists in China have developed the special robot to help visually impaired people (视障人士). It has six legs and can act as a “guide dog” for people who can’t see. In China, there are over 17 million visually impaired people, but there are only about 400 real guide dogs to help them. It is very hard and expensive to train guide dogs, so most visually impaired people don’t have one. The new robot can help solve the problem. It can do many things. For example, it can know what the person is saying and act quickly; it can avoid obstacles (障碍物) and find the right way to go. What’s more, the robot can be used as a helper in the home and call for help if needed. To make the robot work well, the scientists gave it many senses (感觉). It can see, hear, speak and feel. In this way, the robot can know what the person wants to do and work together with him. The robot’s six legs also make it more stable (稳定的) than other robot with just four legs. Li Fei, a visually impaired woman, tried out the robot during a test. She said that when guided her, she could walk straighter than she did on her own.

Whenever you are invited to a western family for dinner, to know some knowledge of western manners is very important. Here are five useful tips for you. First, be on time. To be a polite guest, be sure to get there on time. Being late as well as being too early is impolite. If you can’t get there on time, make a call as early as possible. Second, choose proper greeting manners. People in different countries have different ways of greeting each other. In Britain and the United States, people are supposed to shake hands when they meet for the first time. For friends, they may choose a hug. In France, greeting with a kiss is very common. Third, mind table manners. When having dinner, you should behave properly. For example, putting your spoon in the soup bowl is considered impolite, and don’t try to talk with your mouth full. Be careful not to make much noise when cutting things with your knife. Fourth, keep a proper talking distance. Generally, one meter between each other is perfect in Britain. However, half a meter is OK in the United States. People will feel uncomfortable when they are too close to each other or too far from each other. Last, prepare a small gift. Some flowers or a bottle of wine is enough. If there are children, some chocolate will be nice. 1．How many manners are introduced in this passage? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five.

What would you do? You may have different choices. Firstly, you can leave the bottles there as they are. It wasn’t you who threw them away. Why should you do something about it? This is quite OK. Secondly, you can pick them up and throw them into a dustbin (垃圾箱). By doing this, you have walked a step further to help make our home clean. This action is a better choice. Thirdly, you might want to pick them up and give them to an old man or woman who collects waste for a living. If this is your choice, you have walked even further. You’re not only thinking about doing something for the environment, you’re also developing yourself to be a person who would think of others and help them. As for young kids, they may always have such a question: “When do I grow up?” When does a child grow up? And how can a kid know he or she has grown up? These are interesting questions. As for us, 15-year-olds, who are finishing middle school, we’re no longer younger children. We should know whether or not we have grown up. When we start to have a sense of offering a helping hand for a cleaner and greener world, and when we have a loving heart to think more of others than of ourselves and are ready to help them, we can say that we have grown up.

Now scientists are looking into a bee’s brain. Clint Perry, a scientist, has spent much time studying how bees think. He says studying bees is not very different from studying other animals. “The main difficulty is to design (设计) an experiment for bees and get what we want,” he says. “With humans, we can ask them a question and get an answer. But we can’t use the same way to get an answer from bees. They are just trying to get sugar. Bees like sugar.” The fact that bees like sugar is helpful for scientists to design experiments. For example, in one experiment, Perry gave bees a task: to find delicious sugar on a landing place above a black bar (棒). Perry made the task easier or harder by moving the landing place farther from or closer to the black bar. He found that bees would avoid the task when it was difficult. And when the task was easy, bees would try it. As for humans, we might choose not to take a test when we aren’t ready for it. And we might choose to take the test when we are well prepared. In the same way, bees seemed to make decisions like humans. Perry points out that we are not sure whether bees actually make a thoughtful choice from experiments. Now scientists still do not know how bees manage to do so much with their tiny brains. But learning more about how bees’ brains work could help us learn more about how our own brains deal with information. 1．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指的是)? A．Humans. B．Ways. C．Answers. D．Bees. 2．What helps scientists to design experiments according to the text? A．Bees like sugar. B．Bees are animals. C．Bees are tiny. D．Bees can fly. 3．What would bees do when the task was hard? A．Try it. B．Avoid it. C．Design it. D．Prepare it. 4．Which of the following will the writer probably agree with? A．We are certain now that bees can make a thoughtful choice. B．Scientists have known how bees do with their tiny brains. C．Looking into bees’ brains helps learn how humans’ brains work. D．Studying bees is quite different from studying other animals. 5．What could be the best title (标题) of the text? A．A Study on How Bees Think B．A Survey on Why Bees Like Sugar C．A Report about How Brains Work D．A Way about How We Design Tasks 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了科学家克林特・佩里对蜜蜂思维的研究，包括研究蜜蜂思维面临的困难、利用蜜蜂喜欢糖的特点设计实验，以及实验结果表明蜜蜂似乎能像人类一样做决策，且研究蜜蜂大脑如何工作有助于了解人类大脑处理信息的方式。 1．词句猜测题。根据前文“But we can’t use the same way to get an answer from bees.”以及“They are just trying to get sugar.”可知，这里的“They”指代的是前文提到的蜜蜂。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“The fact that bees like sugar is helpful for scientists to design experiments.”可知，是蜜蜂喜欢糖这一点帮助科学家设计实验。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“He found that bees would avoid the task when it was difficult.”可知，当任务艰难时，蜜蜂会避开。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“But learning more about how bees’ brains work could help us learn more about how our own brains deal with information.”可知，研究蜜蜂大脑有助于了解人类大脑如何工作，因此选项C符合。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要探讨了科学家对蜜蜂思维的研究，选项A“关于蜜蜂如何思考的研究”是最佳标题。故选A。 主题01： 人与自我——电子书阅读器（Kindle、iPad 等）的功能、价格对比，提供选择参考 Passage 14 （24-25九年级上·河北唐山·期末）Kindle, Nook or iPad?

According to recent studies, the answer is yes: Music helps develop certain language abilities in the brain. A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were found to be able to hear better, because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. For example, when the violinists play in a band, they must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore the other sounds. In this way, musicians can hear certain sounds better, even in a room with lots of noise. Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. Dr. Schlaug was surprised to use singing words to help his patients finally speak. Why does this work? Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to be able to make different parts of the brain active, including the bad parts. In some way, this helps patients use those parts of the brain again. So music is not only enjoyable, but also good for us in many other ways. “Playing an instrument or singing,” says Nina Kraus, “can help us do better in school.” 1．What were the people asked to do in the study? A．Listen to different kinds of music. B．Make some noise in a room. C．Give some people musical training. D．Listen to a person talking in a noisy room. 2．What does the writer use the example of violinists to explain? A．How musicians play in a band. B．How musicians make beautiful sounds. C．Why musicians have better hearing ability. D．Why musicians are afraid of lots of noise. 3．What does the word “ignore” mean in the third paragraph? A．Listen to. B．Shut off. C．Find out.

What about the erhu? The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history. The modern erhu developed from the Xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities (少数民族) during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and it became quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue. As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down in oral form, so there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians usually turn to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were discovered on murals (壁画). 1．When did the erhu become a popular instrument? A．In the Tang Dynasty. B．In the Song Dynasty. C．In the Ming Dynasty. D．In the Qing Dynasty. 2．What does the underlined word “oral” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Listening. B．Spoken. C．Reading. D．Written. 3．To study the history of the erhu, what do historians usually do? A．Play Erquan Yingyue. B．Listen to different kinds of folk music. C．Get help from ancient paintings. D．Read some books about ethnic minorities. 4．Which is TRUE according to the passage? A．The huqin belongs to the erhu family. B．Folk art stops the development of the erhu. C．People can find plenty of written records about the erhu. D．The erhu is used in both traditional and modern music now. 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．The History of Erhu B．The Form of Folk Music C．The Development of Chinese Instrument D．The Rise of Different Dynasties 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统乐器——二胡的起源和发展。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and it became quite a popular instrument.”可知，在宋代，二胡成为了一种相当流行的乐器。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据第三段“so there are few written records about the erhu that can be found.”可知，关于二胡的文字记录很少，据此可以推断二胡演奏技巧是口口相传的，所以“oral”意为“口头的”，与“spoken”意思相同。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians usually turn to ancient paintings.”可知，为了研究二胡的历史和发展，历史学家通常求助于古代绘画。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据第二段“At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and jazz.”可知，二胡现在用于传统和现代音乐中，故选D。 5．最佳标题题。综合全文可知，本文主要介绍了二胡的起源和发展；选项A“二胡的历史”适合作为文章的标题。故选A。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
