专题05 说明文阅读 主题01 人与自然—科技与社会发展 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·内蒙古通辽·期末）Nowadays, AI technology has made great progress in changing our lives in different ways. In July, 2021, an AI restaurant covering 133 square meters was born in Hongqiao Community in Shanghai. Compared to the traditional restaurant, the biggest difference is that the AI restaurant has no staffs (员工). Robots serve the customers. As robots are electric machines and don’t get tired, they provide the restaurant better working ability. According to data, it can serve both Chinese food and western food for more than 1000 dishes. Besides, a robot can work as any kinds of staffs (waiter or cook) in the restaurant. It increases the serving efficiency of the AI restaurant. What’s more, the AI restaurant opens 24 hours and provides all kinds of services including self-service, online booking service and snack machines at a lower price. For example, in self-service area, the meat only costs you 10 yuan per kilo and vegetables only cost you 2 yuan per kilo. So you can start a meal anytime you want at a much lower price than the traditional restaurant. We believe that the AI restaurant will make a revolution (革命) in the dining field. The dream of being served by robots can be realized soon. 1．What is the biggest difference between the AI restaurant and the traditional restaurant? A．The AI restaurant provides different services.

Passage 3 （23-24九年级上·内蒙古呼伦贝尔·期末） Do you yawn? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning. We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be yawn true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (拉伸) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things. In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air. Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do. 1．What does the underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Be easy to spread quickly. B．Be easy to breathe quickly. C．Be easy to change quickly. D．Be easy to sleep quickly. 2．Why do Olympic runners often yawn before a race? A．They are too tired or too bored. B．A yawn can let good things in. C．A yawn can help a warm brain cool down. D．A yawn can stretch the muscles in their faces. 3．What is the main idea of Paragraph 5? A．Reasons for yawning. B．Advantages of yawning. C．Disadvantages of yawning. D．Different ideas about yawning. 4．What can we probably infer from the passage? A．People use different ways to yawn. B．Scientists will do further research on yawning. C．It’s hard to notice things quickly while yawning. D．Some scientists think yawning is good for people. 5．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． Passage 4 （23-24九年级上·内蒙古鄂尔多斯·期末） If you have to describe yourself to someone else, what will you say? It can be difficult to see yourself from the outside, but knowing who you are, namely self-awareness (自我意识), can help you understand feelings and have good friendships. Self-awareness means having a good understanding of our own character, that is, having the ability to see ourselves clearly. If you’re self-aware, you may know that you love playing an instrument because you do well in it, and music makes you happy, or that you prefer watching TV on your own because it helps you relax. Knowing what you like and dislike, what you do well in and what you find difficult allows you to make better decisions about friendships, schoolwork and so on. You learn to trust your own feelings more, which builds confidence. The World Health Organization says self-awareness is one of ten important life skills that help young people live happier and healthier lives. However, being self-aware doesn’t mean only thinking of yourself. By understanding your own feelings, you will better understand other people too. How do you learn to be self-aware? It’s a good way to ask questions. But ask yourself questions that start with “What” instead of “Why”. So if you don’t understand why you keep arguing with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you’re arguing. Learning to be more self-aware is a skill, which means you learn it as you grow. So be bold and try out new things, like playing a new sport or listening to different kinds of music. Don’t be afraid to dislike something—to discover what you find difficult is a key part of learning more about yourself. 1．What do we know about self-awareness? A．It can help you get good grades easily. B．It can make you fall in love with music C．It is the ability to understand others clearly. D．It is the ability to understand yourself clearly 2．What is one of the keys to becoming more self-aware? A．Discovering your weak points B．Asking yourself “Why” questions C．Discovering what you find difficult D．Learning to get along well with others 3．What does the underlined word “bold” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Brave. B．Proud. C．Patient. D．Hard-working. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The Tips of Making Friends B．The Tips of Understanding Others C．The Importance of Self-awareness D．The Importance of Making Friends Passage 5 （23-24九年级上·内蒙古包头·期末）Getting a meal from the sky is becoming a reality in the city as online delivery platform Meituan has been allowed to start drone delivery service (无人机送餐服务), Shenzhen Evening News reported.

Chemicals in the smoke from power stations cause a lot of damage (损害；毁坏). They can travel hundreds of miles in the wind before falling to the ground in the rain. And this “chemical rain” gradually (逐渐地) destroys trees in the forests and kills fish in the lakes. In Germany, over 50% of the country’s trees had been damaged by the year 1986. 主题03 人与自然—环境 Time and time again, there are serious accidents that pollute the air. In 1986 there was a serious accident at a nuclear power station in Russia. A cloud of radiation flew across the whole Europe. It is said that 125,000 people died in Russia as a result of illness caused by this accident. In 1984, there was a serious accident at a factory in India and a cloud of dangerous gas covered the town of Bhopal.

Viewers can communicate with hosts by messaging them, buying them gifts, or sending them tips. However, some children are spending too much money on live stream platforms. In 2020, a 17-year-old boy in Jingmen, Hubei Province, sent tips that added up to 150,000 yuan to a host. That sum of money was his parents’ savings. 主题04 人与社会—法律 To prevent things like this from happening again, the National Radio and Television Administration introduced a new rule on Nov. 23, 2020 to better manage live streaming services. The rule bans (禁止) children from tipping (打赏) or sending gifts to live stream hosts and performers. It also requires people to register (注册) on live streaming sites with their real names. “Online shows and live streaming have become so popular.

It is about traditional Chinese food. 主题05 人与社会—文化 The documentary has attracted over 100,000,000 Chinese audience (观众). Most of them don’t see this program as a common food show, because it shows them the value of Chinese food and the changes in China today. The audience can see how hard the cooks and farmers work to make such wonderful Chinese food. Chen Xiaoqing, the lead director of the program, says that the program is not only about eating, but also about Chinese culture. His friend Liu Wen said, “We also wanted to show international audience what China is like today.” “A Bite of China will be released in an English version (版本),” said Chen Xiaoqing. “We should be thankful to the people who make so much delicious food,” added reporter Wang Lu. 1．How many episodes are there in “A Bite of China”?

It has just completed its first year of living with emperor penguins in Antarctica. ECHO is working to record penguin population changes. American researchers hope to use the robot as part of a 30-year project looking at the effect of climate change in Antarctica. ECHO spends its days scanning electronic tags (扫描电子标签)on the penguins. The tags are stuck by researchers when penguins are five months old. Tracking (追踪) them allows the researchers to see population changes, which may be the result of climate change. The tags, however, can only be read from 1-2 metres away. This is why the robot is needed. “As a human, you cannot walk around and scan 15,000 or 24,000 penguins each year—it’s impossible,” said one of the researchers, Daniel Zitterbart. Although ECHO is very different from its neighbours, the robot, which is less than 1 metre tall, lives in harmony with the penguins. They don’t seem to be afraid of it and don’t mind it when it comes near. “If a human tries to do the same job as ECHO, the penguins will run away,” Zitterbart said. “And we don’t want to scare the animals.” Now ECHO is being improved. In the future, ECHO will be able to work better and help researchers know more about emperor penguins and Antarctica. 1．What does ECHO look like? ①It is yellow.    ②It has four wheels. ③It is less than 1 metre tall.    ④It has an electronic tag. A．①③④ B．①②③ C．①②④ D．②③④ 2．What is ECHO’s task? A．Looking for 5-month-old emperor penguins. B．Recording all kinds of changes in Antarctica. C．Sticking electronic tags on emperor penguins. D．Collecting information from the penguins’ tags. 3．The underlined phrase “lives in harmony with” means “_______”. A．guards against B．takes care of C．gets along well with D．gets away from 4．Which of the following is right? A．ECHO is the main part of a project. B．ECHO can read the tags from 1.6 metres away. C．ECHO is similar to penguins. D．ECHO has been improved. 5．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Wild animals are not afraid of robots. B．A robot lives with Antarctic penguins to do research. C．Scientists find a new way of doing research in America. D．Climate change influences emperor penguins. Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·内蒙古乌兰察布·期末） Can you imagine working on a scientific experiment (实验) for nearly fifteen years? That’s what Nicolas Appert, a French cook, did. At that time, nobody knew exactly why food went bad. The bacteria (细菌) that make food go bad hadn’t been discovered yet. Food was dried or salted, but the methods influenced the food’s taste didn’t always work. So Appert decided to invent a better way to store food. Appert believed high temperatures might help, so he ran test after test. He experimented with soups, fruits and other foods. All that hard work finally paid off. He discovered a way that worked! ▲ First, he put food in a glass bottle (瓶子). Then he closed the bottle with a cork (木塞). He crossed two wires (金属线) over the top to hold the cork. Finally, he put the bottle in boiling water. Later, to run his business, Appert asked the government for money. They said they would — if Appert shared his method with everyone. Appert agreed and wrote a cookbook in 1810. Thousands of copies were printed. It was quite a hit. Then vegetables and fruits picked in summer could be stored for the winter. Travelers could be able to take the bottles on long trips. Four years later, Appert replaced glass bottles with tin cans (锡罐). Thanks to Appert’s years of experiments, we still keep canned food now. 1．For nearly fifteen years, Appert had been trying to find a better way to ________. A．dry and salt food B．make food last longer C．make food taste better D．discover the bacteria in food 2．Which of the following can be put in the ▲ ? A．How did he store food? B．Was it easy to invent the way? C．Why did he store food in this way? D．Did he do experiments all by himself? 3．The passage is mainly about ________. A．what people thought of canned food B．why canned food became popular C．how canned food changed people’s lives D．how canned food was invented Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·湖南怀化·期末）In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs，电动汽车) have become very popular around the world. This trend is mainly due to growing concerns about the environment, rising fuel (燃料) prices, and improvements in technology. Many countries are encouraging people to use EVs to help fight climate change and reduce air pollution. Electric vehicles run on electricity instead of gasoline (汽油) or diesel (柴油). This means they do not produce harmful gases, which is a big reason why governments want people to switch (转变) from traditional cars to electric ones. Several well-known car companies, like Tesla, Nissan, and BMW, have created different electric models to meet the increasing demand. These cars have many great features, such as longer battery (电池) life, faster charging times, and advanced technologies like self-driving abilities. However, some people are still unsure about buying electric vehicles. They often worry about the availability of charging stations, the higher initial (最初的) cost compared to gasoline cars, and concerns about how long the batteries will last. To help with these issues, many governments offer incentives, such as tax credits and rebates, to make EVs more affordable for everyone. As technology keeps improving, the future of electric vehicles looks bright. Many experts believe that by 2030, a large number of cars on the road will be electric, leading to a cleaner and healthier environment for everyone. Accepting electric vehicles is an important step towards a sustainable future, and it reflects our commitment to protecting the planet for future generations. 1．What are the main reasons for the increased popularity of electric vehicles? A．Decreasing fuel prices. B．Environmental concerns. C．Availability of charging stations. 2．The underlined word “affordable”in Paragraph 4 means ________. A．inexpensive B．expensive C．convenient 3．What concerns do some people have about buying electric vehicles? A．The availability of gasoline stations. B．The cost of insurance (保险) for electric vehicles C．The number of charging stations and battery life. 4．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．There will be fewer electric vehicles on the road. B．All cars will be electric by 2030. C．A large number of cars on the road will be electric. Passage 4 （23-24九年级上·福建泉州·期末）Where is the world’s best high-speed rail system? In China! High-speed railway, which has developed quickly in recent years, has become a famous name card of China. In the past ten years, China’s high-speed rail network (高速铁路网) has grown from under 10, 000 kilometers to over 40, 000 kilometers, making it the world’s longest high-speed rail network, long enough to circle the entire equator (整个赤道). From the old-style green trains to the Fuxing high-speed trains, China’s high-speed railways have developed quickly and brought us closer to our hometown villages. In 2016, the Shanghai-Kunming High-speed Railway opened to traffic. The distances between nearly 340 traditional villages and high-speed railway stations have been reduced to less than one hour, while most of them were more than three hours away from the stations before the railway opened. With China’s high-speed trains becoming faster and faster, people can save more travel time. For example, you can leave from Beijing in the morning to take part in a meeting in Shanghai at noon. Then, you can arrive at Hangzhou in the afternoon, enjoying the beauty of the West Lake. In the evening, you can return to Beijing safely. China’s high-speed railway has already gone to the world. In 2014, An-Yi high-speed rail, the first high-speed railway built by Chinese companies overseas (在海外), was finished and opened to traffic. In 2023, the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway, jointly built by China and Indonesia, can cut travel time between the two cities from more than 3 hours to 40 minutes. China’s high-speed railways cross rivers and mountains, connect home and abroad, and see the changes over time. From nothing, we are a leader in this industry now. As a name card of China, China’s high-speed railway has amazed the world! 1．In the past ten years, China's high-speed rail network has increased by over ________.

D．To show the distance between Beijing and Shanghai is short. 3．What does the underlined word “jointly” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Together. B．Perhaps. C．Suddenly. D．Generally. 4．What does the text mainly talk about? A．The types of China’s high-speed trains. B．The speed of China’s high-speed trains. C．The importance of China’s high-speed railway. D．The development of China’s high-speed railway. 5．What is the best structure (结构) for the text? A． B． C． D． Passage 5 （23-24九年级上·全国·随堂练习）If you put your history notes under your pillow (枕头) and sleep on them the night before an exam, will you do any better in the exam? Most of us have hoped this may help. However, knowledge can’t go through the pillow into your brain. But that doesn’t mean you can’t learn while you are asleep. Scientists aren’t exactly sure how it works, but they have discovered that the brain can learn things during sleeping hours. In one experiment (实验), researchers gave German speakers some Dutch words to learn. Then, they divided them into three groups. The researchers played the Dutch words for people in Group 1 while they were asleep, without telling these German speakers what they were doing. The sound was low so it didn’t wake them up, and only the newly introduced words were used. Another group listened to the same words while they were awake. The researchers found the people in Group 1 were better able to identify (识别) and translate (翻译) the words later. This was true only for the words that were played while they slept. The third group listened to the words when they walked. The walkers didn’t have the same success in remembering the words as the sleeping group. The researchers later found that people had more slow-wave brain activities all over the night. They said that more slow waves made people have a better memory for the new words. 1．When did the researchers play foreign words for people in Group 1 in the experiment? A．Before they went for a walk. B．Before they went to bed. C．When they were asleep. D．When they were having dinner. 2．What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．Dutch words. B．German speakers. C．Dutch speakers. D．German words. 3．The last two paragraphs tell us the experiment’s ________. A．result B．reason C．influence D．purpose 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Scientists think people can’t learn during sleeping hours. B．German speakers enjoy learning Dutch words. C．Slow-wave brain activities can help people have a good sleep. D．People in Group 3 didn’t remember the words as well as those in Group 1. 5．Where is the passage most probably from? A．A history textbook. B．A science magazine. C．A travel newspaper. D．A modern novel. Passage 1 主题02 人与社会—方法策略 （24-25九年级上·陕西西安·期末）Everyone feels low or down from time to time. It does not always mean something is wrong.

A large bag made from old clothes by her grandmother is still used by her parents today. Kourda has brought these values into a project that she hopes to change the relationship people have with their clothes—and benefit the environment in the process. The clothing industry is considered to be responsible for 8%~10% of global carbon emissions (碳排放), according to the UN. As the world races to meet its promises to limit carbon emissions to net zero by the middle of the century, the clothing industry has a huge job to play its part. Kourda is among those who hope to help do that. Her way is to encourage people to look for new ways of using the clothing they already have rather than buying something new. Her company, Save Your Wardrobe (衣柜) , uses technology to help people go shopping in their own wardrobes. The company uses computer software to build a digital image (形象) of a user’s wardrobe—people can either take pictures of clothes or allow Save Your Wardrobe to check their online shopping history. It then advises how to create new clothes as well as connecting users to repair services and environmentally friendly dry cleaning services. In October, the company began to work with the German company Zalando, which will use Save Your Wardrobe technology to offer customers aftercare for their clothes. “Our goal” says Kourda, “is to use technology to guide users to reconnect with the clothes of their wardrobe and make the most out of it, finally encouraging them to buy less and better.” Save Your Wardrobe is just one of a huge number of companies using new technology to make a difference in the clothing industry. From encouraging new ways of buying clothes, to making it possible for clothes to be recycled at the end of their life, the clothing world could look very different by the time we reach 2045. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．Kourda was raised by her grandmother. B．Kourda’s family has valued old things in life. C．Kourda’s grandma reused clothes to make money. D．Kourda’s parents are too poor to buy new clothes. 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．How Kourda guides users to do online shopping. B．Why Kourda’s company works with other companies. C．How Kourda’s company helps to limit carbon emissions. D．Why Kourda builds a digital image of the users’ wardrobes. 3．What is the goal of Save Your Wardrobe? A．To help users buy cheaper wardrobes. B．To check users’ online shopping history. C．To encourage users to buy less and better clothes. D．To connect users to repair and dry cleaning services. 4．Which statement would the author most probably agree with? A．People will stick to old traditions of buying clothes. B．Customers might need less service for their clothes soon. C．Save Your Wardrobe will create more clothes in the future. D．The clothing industry might be more environmentally friendly. 主题04 人与社会—青少年问题 （23-24九年级上·内蒙古乌兰察布·期末）FOMO Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night’s sleep every night. Most experts agree that the optimum (最佳的) number of hours is eight. However, I was young once and I know that most of you get much less sleep than that—and in some cases it will influence your schoolwork. I read an interesting article in a teachers’ magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in Wales. Worryingly, the results showed that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at proper times but a growing number are waking up in the middle of the night, just because of a new phenomenon (现象): FOMO—fear of missing out! Afraid of missing a comment (评论) or chances to take part in a chat (聊天), teenagers are waking at all times of the night, going online and getting involved. All this when they should be sound asleep. Experts are worried about this growing trend (趋势) and the report shows some worrying numbers that I’d like to share with you: 23% of 12 to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media (社交媒体). Another 15% wake up at night once a week for the same reason. One in three students are often tired and unable to perform well during the daytime. Students who use social media during the night are more probable to experience more stress. So, I’d like to ask you to be responsible when it comes to social media. Be brave! Turn off your phones at night. The world won’t end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning! I give you my word that you won’t miss anything important. 1．Which of the following is TRUE about the study? A．The study shows that the optimum number of hours is eight. B．The study was done of 848 students and teachers in Wales. C．The results of study are worrying to the writer. D．The study shows that less sleep will do harm to students’ schoolwork. 2．According to the passage, FOMO is ________. A．worrying about not having the latest technology B．a need to go out all the time C．a fear of missing chances for communicating on social media D．a serious illness 3．The report shows that one in three students are tired because _________. A．they go to bed too late B．they wake up in the middle of the night to use social media C．they get up too early in the morning D．they have problems falling asleep 4．Which of the following would the author (作者) most probably agree with? A．Students should be brave enough to fight against FOMO. B．The students will surely miss something important if they turn off their phones at night. C．Students who use social media during the night have more friends. D．The social media is waiting for the students during the night. （23-24九年级上·内蒙古包头·期末）Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. 主题05 人与自然—动物 A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 meters and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometers through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 1．How can a certain kind of ants find their way? A．By marking the way. B．By counting their steps. C．By bringing food together. D．By walking through a forest. 2．What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph? A．To help animals. B．To travel at night. C．To keep city lights on. D．To develop unusual abilities. 3．Who might be interested in this passage? A．Students that love reading stories. B．Students that love art. C．Students that love travelling. D．Students that love science. 4．Which can be the best title of this passage? A．Birds’ Sense of Light. B．Fish’s Sense of Smell. C．Animals’ Sense of Direction. D．Animals’ Sense of Magnetic Field. （24-25九年级上·江苏宿迁·期末）Paper-cutting is a Chinese folk art with a long history. The earliest paper cuts date back to the 4th century in China. In 2002, UNESCO listed China’s paper-cutting as a world cultural heritage (遗产). In Chinese culture, paper cuts are the symbol of happiness and good luck, and they have been used for decoration and design patterns (图案) throughout history. 主题06 人与社会—传统文化 Paper cuts used for decoration are often seen on windows and gates. They are usually put up during holidays to bring good luck. The Chinese character Fu means good luck and it is often stuck on front doors upside down. It is believed that when Fu is put upside down, happiness arrives. The image of a fish often appears together with Fu, which shows we will have more than enough money to spend. Paper cuts are also used on presents. People use Fu to wrap (包装) presents to bring good luck to others. A present for parents with new-born babies might show a paper cut of children. In some designs, we can see a baby on a lotus flower. The name of this design is “lian sheng gui zi”, which means we wish that the parents would have more children. The image of a baby on an animal is popular as well. This animal is called “qi lin”, which is believed to have the power to bring children to the family. Paper cuts that show the Chinese character of double happiness are often used to celebrate weddings. People use them to decorate such occasions (场合) by putting them on walls, windows, doors and even furniture. Another kind of paper cuts are those used to make design patterns on clothing, such as the Chinese Fu, the image of dragon and flower patterns. They are very popular choices for clothes to wear. They are also sometimes used to decorate jewelry boxes. In the past, paper-cutting was all done by hand. Even a small mistake during the process can ruin (毁掉) the whole piece of work. Now there are factories for paper-cutting in China and paper-cutting has also changed from decoration to a kind of art. 1．The first paragraph is mainly about ________.

There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning. We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be yawn true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (拉伸) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things. In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air. Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do. 1．What does the underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Be easy to spread quickly. B．Be easy to breathe quickly. C．Be easy to change quickly. D．Be easy to sleep quickly. 2．Why do Olympic runners often yawn before a race? A．They are too tired or too bored. B．A yawn can let good things in. C．A yawn can help a warm brain cool down. D．A yawn can stretch the muscles in their faces. 3．What is the main idea of Paragraph 5? A．Reasons for yawning. B．Advantages of yawning. C．Disadvantages of yawning. D．Different ideas about yawning. 4．What can we probably infer from the passage? A．People use different ways to yawn. B．Scientists will do further research on yawning. C．It’s hard to notice things quickly while yawning. D．Some scientists think yawning is good for people. 5．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是说明文。针对打哈欠这一现象科学家进行了研究，文中具体介绍了科学家发现的一些事实。 1．猜测词义题。根据下文“ When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.”可知，当你看到别人打哈欠时，你也会打哈欠，说明打哈欠会传染。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. ”可知，打哈欠可以使头脑冷静下来。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。根据文中介绍了两种不同的观点，一种认为打哈欠是不礼貌的，一种认为打哈欠对身体有好处。故选项D“关于打哈欠的不同观点”符合题意。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段科学家不会花费大量的时间研究打哈欠这个现象，因为这个对身体没什么坏处，故选项D“一些科学家认为打哈欠对人体有好处”符合题意。故选D。 5．篇章结构题。根据第一段总体介绍打哈欠，中间几个段落讲述了打哈欠的一些事实，最后一段对打哈欠做出总结，故为总分总的结构，故选B。 Passage 4 （23-24九年级上·内蒙古鄂尔多斯·期末） If you have to describe yourself to someone else, what will you say? It can be difficult to see yourself from the outside, but knowing who you are, namely self-awareness (自我意识), can help you understand feelings and have good friendships. Self-awareness means having a good understanding of our own character, that is, having the ability to see ourselves clearly. If you’re self-aware, you may know that you love playing an instrument because you do well in it, and music makes you happy, or that you prefer watching TV on your own because it helps you relax. Knowing what you like and dislike, what you do well in and what you find difficult allows you to make better decisions about friendships, schoolwork and so on. You learn to trust your own feelings more, which builds confidence. The World Health Organization says self-awareness is one of ten important life skills that help young people live happier and healthier lives. However, being self-aware doesn’t mean only thinking of yourself. By understanding your own feelings, you will better understand other people too. How do you learn to be self-aware? It’s a good way to ask questions. But ask yourself questions that start with “What” instead of “Why”. So if you don’t understand why you keep arguing with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you’re arguing. Learning to be more self-aware is a skill, which means you learn it as you grow. So be bold and try out new things, like playing a new sport or listening to different kinds of music. Don’t be afraid to dislike something—to discover what you find difficult is a key part of learning more about yourself. 1．What do we know about self-awareness? A．It can help you get good grades easily. B．It can make you fall in love with music C．It is the ability to understand others clearly. D．It is the ability to understand yourself clearly 2．What is one of the keys to becoming more self-aware? A．Discovering your weak points B．Asking yourself “Why” questions C．Discovering what you find difficult D．Learning to get along well with others 3．What does the underlined word “bold” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Brave. B．Proud. C．Patient. D．Hard-working. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The Tips of Making Friends B．The Tips of Understanding Others C．The Importance of Self-awareness D．The Importance of Making Friends 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自我意识是什么，它的重要性以及如何学会自我意识。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Self-awareness means having a good understanding of our own character, that is, having the ability to see ourselves clearly.”可知，自我意识是清楚地了解自己的能力。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Don’t be afraid to dislike something—to discover what you find difficult is a key part of learning more about yourself.”可知，发现你觉得困难的地方是更多地了解自己的一个关键部分。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据“try out new things”可知，尝试新事物需要勇气，所以划线部分的含义是“大胆的”。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了自我意识是什么，它的重要性以及如何学会自我意识。所以C项符合。故选C。 Passage 5 （23-24九年级上·内蒙古包头·期末）Getting a meal from the sky is becoming a reality in the city as online delivery platform Meituan has been allowed to start drone delivery service (无人机送餐服务), Shenzhen Evening News reported.

It has just completed its first year of living with emperor penguins in Antarctica. ECHO is working to record penguin population changes. American researchers hope to use the robot as part of a 30-year project looking at the effect of climate change in Antarctica. ECHO spends its days scanning electronic tags (扫描电子标签)on the penguins. The tags are stuck by researchers when penguins are five months old. Tracking (追踪) them allows the researchers to see population changes, which may be the result of climate change. The tags, however, can only be read from 1-2 metres away. This is why the robot is needed. “As a human, you cannot walk around and scan 15,000 or 24,000 penguins each year—it’s impossible,” said one of the researchers, Daniel Zitterbart. Although ECHO is very different from its neighbours, the robot, which is less than 1 metre tall, lives in harmony with the penguins. They don’t seem to be afraid of it and don’t mind it when it comes near. “If a human tries to do the same job as ECHO, the penguins will run away,” Zitterbart said. “And we don’t want to scare the animals.” Now ECHO is being improved. In the future, ECHO will be able to work better and help researchers know more about emperor penguins and Antarctica. 1．What does ECHO look like? ①It is yellow.    ②It has four wheels. ③It is less than 1 metre tall.    ④It has an electronic tag.

That’s what Nicolas Appert, a French cook, did. At that time, nobody knew exactly why food went bad. The bacteria (细菌) that make food go bad hadn’t been discovered yet. Food was dried or salted, but the methods influenced the food’s taste didn’t always work. So Appert decided to invent a better way to store food. Appert believed high temperatures might help, so he ran test after test. He experimented with soups, fruits and other foods. All that hard work finally paid off. He discovered a way that worked! ▲ First, he put food in a glass bottle (瓶子). Then he closed the bottle with a cork (木塞). He crossed two wires (金属线) over the top to hold the cork. Finally, he put the bottle in boiling water. Later, to run his business, Appert asked the government for money. They said they would — if Appert shared his method with everyone. Appert agreed and wrote a cookbook in 1810. Thousands of copies were printed. It was quite a hit. Then vegetables and fruits picked in summer could be stored for the winter. Travelers could be able to take the bottles on long trips. Four years later, Appert replaced glass bottles with tin cans (锡罐). Thanks to Appert’s years of experiments, we still keep canned food now. 1．For nearly fifteen years, Appert had been trying to find a better way to ________.

Finally, he put the bottle in boiling water.”可知，此处描述了Appert存储食物的方法步骤，选项A“他是如何储存食物的？”符合语境。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了法国厨师尼古拉·阿佩尔经过近十五年的科学实验，成功发明了食物罐头保存法，使得食物能够长时间保存并影响了现代食品保存技术，也就是“罐头食品是如何发明的”。故选D。 Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·湖南怀化·期末）In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs，电动汽车) have become very popular around the world. This trend is mainly due to growing concerns about the environment, rising fuel (燃料) prices, and improvements in technology. Many countries are encouraging people to use EVs to help fight climate change and reduce air pollution. Electric vehicles run on electricity instead of gasoline (汽油) or diesel (柴油). This means they do not produce harmful gases, which is a big reason why governments want people to switch (转变) from traditional cars to electric ones. Several well-known car companies, like Tesla, Nissan, and BMW, have created different electric models to meet the increasing demand. These cars have many great features, such as longer battery (电池) life, faster charging times, and advanced technologies like self-driving abilities. However, some people are still unsure about buying electric vehicles. They often worry about the availability of charging stations, the higher initial (最初的) cost compared to gasoline cars, and concerns about how long the batteries will last. To help with these issues, many governments offer incentives, such as tax credits and rebates, to make EVs more affordable for everyone. As technology keeps improving, the future of electric vehicles looks bright. Many experts believe that by 2030, a large number of cars on the road will be electric, leading to a cleaner and healthier environment for everyone. Accepting electric vehicles is an important step towards a sustainable future, and it reflects our commitment to protecting the planet for future generations. 1．What are the main reasons for the increased popularity of electric vehicles? A．Decreasing fuel prices. B．Environmental concerns. C．Availability of charging stations. 2．The underlined word “affordable”in Paragraph 4 means ________.

High-speed railway, which has developed quickly in recent years, has become a famous name card of China.”和全文可知，本文主要讲述了中国高速铁路的发展。故选D。 5．篇章结构题。文章第一段介绍中国高速铁路近年来发展迅速，已成为中国著名的名片，是点明主题；第二段到第五段分别讲述了中国高速铁路的发展情况；最后一段再次点明主题，强调中国高速铁路的发展迅速。选项B图片符合。故选B。 Passage 5 （23-24九年级上·全国·随堂练习）If you put your history notes under your pillow (枕头) and sleep on them the night before an exam, will you do any better in the exam? Most of us have hoped this may help. However, knowledge can’t go through the pillow into your brain. But that doesn’t mean you can’t learn while you are asleep. Scientists aren’t exactly sure how it works, but they have discovered that the brain can learn things during sleeping hours. In one experiment (实验), researchers gave German speakers some Dutch words to learn. Then, they divided them into three groups. The researchers played the Dutch words for people in Group 1 while they were asleep, without telling these German speakers what they were doing. The sound was low so it didn’t wake them up, and only the newly introduced words were used. Another group listened to the same words while they were awake. The researchers found the people in Group 1 were better able to identify (识别) and translate (翻译) the words later. This was true only for the words that were played while they slept. The third group listened to the words when they walked. The walkers didn’t have the same success in remembering the words as the sleeping group. The researchers later found that people had more slow-wave brain activities all over the night. They said that more slow waves made people have a better memory for the new words. 1．When did the researchers play foreign words for people in Group 1 in the experiment? A．Before they went for a walk. B．Before they went to bed. C．When they were asleep. D．When they were having dinner. 2．What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．Dutch words. B．German speakers. C．Dutch speakers. D．German words. 3．The last two paragraphs tell us the experiment’s ________. A．result B．reason C．influence D．purpose 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Scientists think people can’t learn during sleeping hours. B．German speakers enjoy learning Dutch words. C．Slow-wave brain activities can help people have a good sleep. D．People in Group 3 didn’t remember the words as well as those in Group 1. 5．Where is the passage most probably from? A．A history textbook. B．A science magazine. C．A travel newspaper. D．A modern novel. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 5．B 【知识点】说明文、科普知识 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于睡眠中学习的实验，科学家发现大脑在睡眠期间可以学习新事物，并通过实验证明了这一点，同时探讨了慢波脑活动对记忆的影响。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The researchers played the Dutch words for people in Group 1 while they were asleep, without telling these German speakers what they were doing.”可知，研究人员在第一组人睡觉时播放荷兰语单词。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“researchers gave German speakers some Dutch words to learn. Then, they divided them into three groups”可知，研究人员让说德语的人学习一些荷兰语单词，然后将他们分成三组，此处“them”指代的是上文提到的“German speakers”。故选B。 3．主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段中的“The researchers found the people in Group 1 were better able to identify and translate the words later.”以及最后一段内容可知，最后两段主要介绍了实验的结果，即第一组人在睡眠中学习单词后能更好地识别和翻译单词，以及慢波脑活动对记忆的影响。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The third group listened to the words when they walked. The walkers didn’t have the same success in remembering the words as the sleeping group.”可知，第三组人在走路时听单词，他们记忆单词的效果不如睡眠组好，即第三组的人没有第一组的人记得好。故选D。 5．推理判断题。根据全文内容尤其是第二段“Scientists aren’t exactly sure how it works, but they have discovered that the brain can learn things during sleeping hours.”可知，文章主要介绍了一项关于睡眠中学习的科学实验，因此最可能来自科学杂志。故选B。 Passage 1 主题02 人与社会—方法策略 （24-25九年级上·陕西西安·期末）Everyone feels low or down from time to time.

There are some things that good language learners do and some things they don’t do. Here are some of the most useful suggestions from studies. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. People often get things wrong. Good language learners notice their mistakes and learn from them. Do group activities. People use language to communicate with other people. A good language learner always looks for opportunities to talk with other students. The more you talk with other students, the better you will be. Make notes during every class. Notes help you to remember new language. Look at your notes when you do your homework. Use a dictionary. Good language learners often use dictionaries to check the meaning of words they don’t know. They also make their own vocabulary lists. Think in the language you’re learning outside the classroom. When you’re shopping or walking down the street, remember useful words and phrases. Sometimes, when you’re at home, say new words to practise your pronunciation. Do extra practice. Test and improve your reading and listening skills with self-study material. You can find a lot of this online. Enjoy the process. Good language learners have fun with the language. Watch a TV series or film, listen to songs, play video games or read a book. It’s never too late to become a good language learner. 1．According to the passage, what will good language learners do? A．They will be as careful as they can and try not to make any mistakes.

A large bag made from old clothes by her grandmother is still used by her parents today. Kourda has brought these values into a project that she hopes to change the relationship people have with their clothes—and benefit the environment in the process. The clothing industry is considered to be responsible for 8%~10% of global carbon emissions (碳排放), according to the UN. As the world races to meet its promises to limit carbon emissions to net zero by the middle of the century, the clothing industry has a huge job to play its part. Kourda is among those who hope to help do that. Her way is to encourage people to look for new ways of using the clothing they already have rather than buying something new. Her company, Save Your Wardrobe (衣柜) , uses technology to help people go shopping in their own wardrobes. The company uses computer software to build a digital image (形象) of a user’s wardrobe—people can either take pictures of clothes or allow Save Your Wardrobe to check their online shopping history. It then advises how to create new clothes as well as connecting users to repair services and environmentally friendly dry cleaning services. In October, the company began to work with the German company Zalando, which will use Save Your Wardrobe technology to offer customers aftercare for their clothes. “Our goal” says Kourda, “is to use technology to guide users to reconnect with the clothes of their wardrobe and make the most out of it, finally encouraging them to buy less and better.” Save Your Wardrobe is just one of a huge number of companies using new technology to make a difference in the clothing industry. From encouraging new ways of buying clothes, to making it possible for clothes to be recycled at the end of their life, the clothing world could look very different by the time we reach 2045. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．Kourda was raised by her grandmother. B．Kourda’s family has valued old things in life. C．Kourda’s grandma reused clothes to make money. D．Kourda’s parents are too poor to buy new clothes. 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．How Kourda guides users to do online shopping. B．Why Kourda’s company works with other companies. C．How Kourda’s company helps to limit carbon emissions. D．Why Kourda builds a digital image of the users’ wardrobes. 3．What is the goal of Save Your Wardrobe? A．To help users buy cheaper wardrobes. B．To check users’ online shopping history. C．To encourage users to buy less and better clothes. D．To connect users to repair and dry cleaning services. 4．Which statement would the author most probably agree with? A．People will stick to old traditions of buying clothes. B．Customers might need less service for their clothes soon. C．Save Your Wardrobe will create more clothes in the future. D．The clothing industry might be more environmentally friendly. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文主要是讲述了库尔达用她的公司的技术帮助人们在自己的衣橱里购物，并充分利用它们，最终鼓励他们购买更少更好的衣服。 1．主旨大意题。根据“Hasna Kourda grew up on an island in Tunisia where her grandmother taught her the strong values of looking after old things. ‘Clothes can be reused continuously,’ Kourda says. A large bag made from old clothes by her grandmother is still used by her parents today.”可知，本段的内容主要是说库尔达的家族珍视生活中的旧事物。故选B。 2．主旨大意题。根据“Kourda is among those who hope to help do that.”可知，此处that指代的是上段“As the world races to meet its promises to limit carbon emissions to net zero by the middle of the century, the clothing industry has a huge job to play its part.”因此围绕这个问题展开讨论，本段介绍库尔达的公司如何帮助限制碳排放。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Her way is to encourage people to look for new ways of using the clothing they already have rather than buying something new.”可知，目标是鼓励用户购买更少更好的衣服。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“From encouraging new ways of buying clothes, to making it possible for clothes to be recycled at the end of their life, the clothing world could look very different by the time we reach 2045.”可知，到2045年，服装世界可能会变得非常不同。可推断作者同意服装行业可能更环保这个观点。故选D。 主题04 人与社会—青少年问题 （23-24九年级上·内蒙古乌兰察布·期末）FOMO Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night’s sleep every night. Most experts agree that the optimum (最佳的) number of hours is eight. However, I was young once and I know that most of you get much less sleep than that—and in some cases it will influence your schoolwork. I read an interesting article in a teachers’ magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in Wales. Worryingly, the results showed that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at proper times but a growing number are waking up in the middle of the night, just because of a new phenomenon (现象): FOMO—fear of missing out! Afraid of missing a comment (评论) or chances to take part in a chat (聊天), teenagers are waking at all times of the night, going online and getting involved. All this when they should be sound asleep. Experts are worried about this growing trend (趋势) and the report shows some worrying numbers that I’d like to share with you: 23% of 12 to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media (社交媒体). Another 15% wake up at night once a week for the same reason. One in three students are often tired and unable to perform well during the daytime. Students who use social media during the night are more probable to experience more stress. So, I’d like to ask you to be responsible when it comes to social media. Be brave! Turn off your phones at night. The world won’t end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning! I give you my word that you won’t miss anything important. 1．Which of the following is TRUE about the study? A．The study shows that the optimum number of hours is eight. B．The study was done of 848 students and teachers in Wales. C．The results of study are worrying to the writer. D．The study shows that less sleep will do harm to students’ schoolwork. 2．According to the passage, FOMO is ________. A．worrying about not having the latest technology B．a need to go out all the time C．a fear of missing chances for communicating on social media D．a serious illness 3．The report shows that one in three students are tired because _________. A．they go to bed too late B．they wake up in the middle of the night to use social media C．they get up too early in the morning D．they have problems falling asleep 4．Which of the following would the author (作者) most probably agree with? A．Students should be brave enough to fight against FOMO. B．The students will surely miss something important if they turn off their phones at night. C．Students who use social media during the night have more friends. D．The social media is waiting for the students during the night. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了青少年因为FOMO（害怕错过）而在晚上醒来使用社交媒体，导致睡眠不足和白天无法集中精力。专家担心这一趋势的增长，并分享了一些令人担忧的数据。作者呼吁青少年在晚上关闭手机，保证充足的睡眠，并表示他们不会错过任何重要的事情。 1．细节理解题。根据“Worryingly, the results showed that teenagers are facing a new problem.”可知，研究结果令作者担忧。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“FOMO—fear of missing out!”和“Afraid of missing a comment (评论) or chances to take part in a chat (聊天), teenagers are waking at all times of the night, going online and getting involved.”可知，FOMO是指害怕错过在社交媒体上交流的机会。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“One in three students are often tired and unable to perform well during the daytime. Students who use social media during the night are more probable to experience more stress.”可知，三分之一的学生因为半夜醒来使用社交媒体而感到疲劳。故选B。 4．观点态度题。根据“So, I’d like to ask you to be responsible when it comes to social media. ... I give you my word that you won’t miss anything important.”可知，作者认为学生们应该勇敢地与FOMO作斗争。故选A。 （23-24九年级上·内蒙古包头·期末）Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. 主题05 人与自然—动物 A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 meters and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometers through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 1．How can a certain kind of ants find their way? A．By marking the way. B．By counting their steps. C．By bringing food together. D．By walking through a forest. 2．What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph? A．To help animals. B．To travel at night. C．To keep city lights on. D．To develop unusual abilities. 3．Who might be interested in this passage? A．Students that love reading stories. B．Students that love art. C．Students that love travelling. D．Students that love science. 4．Which can be the best title of this passage? A．Birds’ Sense of Light. B．Fish’s Sense of Smell. C．Animals’ Sense of Direction. D．Animals’ Sense of Magnetic Field. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 【知识点】常见动物、说明文、方法/策略、科普知识 【导语】本文主要介绍了一些动物天生具有不同寻常的辨别方向的能力，并说明了人类活动对动物的这种能力的影响，建议人们要从小事做起来帮助动物。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost.”可知，例如，某一种蚂蚁可以计算自己的步数以避免迷路。可见，蚂蚁是通过数步数来避免迷路。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities…Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.”可知，然而，拥有这种不同寻常能力的动物仍然难以应对人类活动造成的环境变化。例如，许多鸟依靠星星来辨别方向，但当城市的灯整夜亮着时，它们很容易迷路。为了解决这个问题，我们可以简单地在晚上关掉一些灯。显然，人类的一个小小举动对动物来说可能意义重大。可见，本段说明人类的一个小举动可能对动物意义重大，因此是建议人们要帮助动物。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段“Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.”可知，一些动物在长途跋涉后很容易找到回家的路。他们是怎么做的？科学研究表明，他们生来就有某些不同寻常的方向感。可见，这跟科学有关，所以热爱科学的学生对这篇文章感兴趣。故选D。 4．标题归纳题。通读全文可知，尤其根据第一段“Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.”可知，一些动物在长途跋涉后很容易找到回家的路。他们是怎么做的？科学研究表明，他们生来就有某些不同寻常的方向感。所以本文介绍了动物天生就具有某些不寻常的方向感。因此“动物的方向感”为最佳标题。故选C。 （24-25九年级上·江苏宿迁·期末）Paper-cutting is a Chinese folk art with a long history. The earliest paper cuts date back to the 4th century in China. In 2002, UNESCO listed China’s paper-cutting as a world cultural heritage (遗产). In Chinese culture, paper cuts are the symbol of happiness and good luck, and they have been used for decoration and design patterns (图案) throughout history. 主题06 人与社会—传统文化 Paper cuts used for decoration are often seen on windows and gates. They are usually put up during holidays to bring good luck. The Chinese character Fu means good luck and it is often stuck on front doors upside down. It is believed that when Fu is put upside down, happiness arrives. The image of a fish often appears together with Fu, which shows we will have more than enough money to spend. Paper cuts are also used on presents. People use Fu to wrap (包装) presents to bring good luck to others. A present for parents with new-born babies might show a paper cut of children. In some designs, we can see a baby on a lotus flower. The name of this design is “lian sheng gui zi”, which means we wish that the parents would have more children. The image of a baby on an animal is popular as well. This animal is called “qi lin”, which is believed to have the power to bring children to the family. Paper cuts that show the Chinese character of double happiness are often used to celebrate weddings. People use them to decorate such occasions (场合) by putting them on walls, windows, doors and even furniture. Another kind of paper cuts are those used to make design patterns on clothing, such as the Chinese Fu, the image of dragon and flower patterns. They are very popular choices for clothes to wear. They are also sometimes used to decorate jewelry boxes. In the past, paper-cutting was all done by hand. Even a small mistake during the process can ruin (毁掉) the whole piece of work. Now there are factories for paper-cutting in China and paper-cutting has also changed from decoration to a kind of art. 1．The first paragraph is mainly about ________. A．the history of paper-cutting B．the occasions paper-cutting used in C．the problems modern paper-cutting faces D．the changes of paper-cutting 2．Why do Chinese people stick Fu upside down? A．Because it helps to drive evil spirits away. B．Because it represents the coming of happiness. C．Because it looks more beautiful in such a style. D．Because it expresses people's hope for a richer life. 3．Which paper cut can be given to parents with a new-born baby? A． B． C． D． 4．Which of the following is TRUE about Chinese paper-cutting? A．It has a long history of more than 2000 years. B．It is always used for decoration and design patterns. C．It is still all done by hand now because of art value.

The earliest paper cuts date back to the 4th century in China. In 2002, UNESCO listed China’s paper-cutting as a world cultural heritage (遗产).”可知，第一段主要介绍了剪纸的历史，包括其起源时间和被联合国教科文组织列为世界文化遗产的情况。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The Chinese character Fu means good luck and it is often stuck on front doors upside down. It is believed that when Fu is put upside down, happiness arrives.”可知，中国人把福字倒贴是因为这代表着幸福的到来。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“A present for parents with new-born babies might show a paper cut of children. In some designs, we can see a baby on a lotus flower. The name of this design is "lian sheng gui zi”, which means we wish that the parents would have more children.”，可知给新生儿父母的礼物应是带有小孩图案的剪纸，所以应该选择有小孩和莲花图案的剪纸——莲生贵子，寓意着“多子”。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In Chinese culture, paper cuts are the symbol of happiness and good luck, and they have been used for decoration and design patterns (图案) throughout history.”以及后文对剪纸用途的详细描述可知，剪纸在中国文化中一直被用于装饰和设计图案。故选B。 （24-25九年级上·四川巴中·期末）China now has 59 sites included on the UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) World Heritage List.
