专题05 阅读理解（说明文+议论文） 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25学年九年级上·红桥区·期末） Since tea spread from China worldwide, it has become one of the most popular drinks in the world. Different countries have their own tea cultures, like afternoon tea in England. The tradition of afternoon tea is a very special part of English culture. The custom of drinking tea became popular in England during the 1660s. It was not until the mid-19th century that the idea of “afternoon tea” first appeared. Afternoon tea is served in the mid-afternoon, between lunch and a late dinner. The idea came from Anna, the seventh Duchess (公爵夫人) of Bedford, in 1840. At the time, many families would eat a late dinner at about 8 pm, which was one of only two main meals each day, and the other was a mid-morning meal. With a long time between breakfast and dinner, Anna would become hungry around 4 o’clock in the afternoon. So she asked some tea, bread, butter and cakes to be brought to her room during the late afternoon. This became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her. Later, Anna continued it, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for “tea and a walking in the fields”. Others soon picked up on (注意到) the idea. By the 1880s, afternoon tea became an event for many ladies. They would be dressed beautifully to be served in the sitting room between four and five o’clock, talking about the latest news, their daily life and fashion. Today’s afternoon tea is simpler than traditional afternoon tea. It is just a biscuit or small cake and a cup of tea. However, there is one thing that has never changed—the meaning of afternoon tea. 36．When did the idea of “afternoon tea” first appear in England? A．In the 1660s. B．In the 1880s. C．In the mid-19th century. D．In the 20th century. 37．In Paragraph 3, what does the “two main meals” probably refer to? A．A lunch and a late dinner. B．A breakfast and a lunch. C．A breakfast and a mid-afternoon meal. D．A mid-morning meal and a late dinner. 38．Why did Anna ask for tea and cakes in the afternoon at first? A．Because she loved drinking tea. B．Because she felt hungry. C．Because she needed to treat friends. D．Because she wanted to talk about fashion. 39．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．Afternoon tea has spread all over the world. B．People used to drink tea more often than now. C．The meaning of afternoon tea has never changed. D．Afternoon tea gives people a chance to communicate. 40．What is the best title of the passage? A．The Advantages of Drinking Tea B．The Development of Afternoon Tea C．The History of Tea D．Different Tea Cultures in the World Passage 2 （24-25学年九年级上·南开区·期末） England is the biggest of the four countries in the United Kingdom.

It was the world’s fourth-largest lake in the past, but over 90% of it has dried up (枯竭). It was about 67,300 square kilometers in 1960, while in 2020 it was only about 6,730 square kilometers. Maybe we can’t see the lake one day. There are only two rivers running into the Aral Sea. Russia started to grow cotton in the late 1960s. Cotton farms used too much water from the two rivers. The lake could get little water. Besides, there were more people living near the Aral Sea. They took water from it. The lake lost more water. It is very bad for the Aral Sea to lose so much water. Sand-dust storms (沙尘暴) come from the dry lake bed. They are bad for people’s health. The Aral Sea becomes more salty, and lots of fish died because of this. 31．The water area of the Aral Sea in 2020 is about ________ of that in 1960. A．90% B．60% C．40% D．10% 32．When may Russia start to grow cotton? A．In 1968. B．In 1965. C．In 1963. D．In 1960. 33．Why did the Aral Sea lose so much water? A．Because it rained little.

Frank Epperson invented the Popsicle when he was just eleven years old. One winter day in 1905, after a day of play, he left his drink outside with the stir stick (搅拌棒), he found his drink was frozen like an icicle (冰柱). Frank tasted it and found it was delicious. And it became a hit with his friends. When he grew up, Frank Epperson sold land and houses for a living. By 1921 he had to make a living for his wife and five children. But Frank never forgot the frozen treat (冰品) that he had discovered. He decided to continue with it. He soon started a business—selling the frozen treats in seven flavours (口味). He named the ice on a stick “Epsicle”. His children didn’t think that was a very good name. They called the frozen treat “Pop’s sicle”. The name was later changed to “Popsicle”. In 1924 Frank got a patent (专利) for his frozen treat. During the late 1920s and the 1930s, the United States went through hard times. Many people lost their jobs. Twin ice pops (双棒棒冰) with two sticks were invented. They were just five cents and two children could share them. Today millions of Popsicles are sold every year. They come in thirty flavours. The most popular flavour is cherry. Now whenever we enjoy ice pops in summer, we have Frank Epperson to thank. 35．What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?________ A．How ice pops are made. B．What people drank in the 1900s. C．What happens on cold winter nights. D．How Frank discovered the frozen treat. 36．The word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________. A．making a living for his family B．playing with his friends C．selling land and houses D．making his frozen treat 37．Who helped Frank with the name of his frozen treat?________ A．His wife. B．His friends. C．His children. D．His customers. 38．What do we know about twin ice pops?________ A．They were invented by a jobless man. B．They allowed two children to share an ice pop. C．They were expensive when they were invented. D．They came in thirty flavours in the beginning. 39．What is the best title of the passage?________ A．A young scientist B．A frozen invention C．A kid’s sweet drink D．A big business in summer Passage 2 （24-25学年九年级上·河西区·期末） Pollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year．Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood﹣powered of coal﹣powered stoves． One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun．Crosby Menzies，a solar power expert in a South African company，described his latest solar cooker called the“Sol.4”，”It is four square meters of mirrors，six to eight meters in length．It is quite a large cooler．” The“Sol.4”works by reflecting （反射）light from the sun off large mirrors．The mirrors direct （把…对准）the light at a cooking pan．Then the light heats the pan with solar energy．Within two minutes，the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions．In just four minutes，water can be boiled．That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity． The cooker is also much “friendlier” than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it．And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal．Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke． At present，the cooker only works when the sun is shining．But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight． Each cooker costs about $2000，which is a large amount of money for most Africans．To solve that problem，Crosby Menzies has crated a non﹣governmental organization called solar Cookers for Africa．It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment． 36．This passage is mainly about　　　　　　． A．solar cookers B．smoke pollution C．solar power experts D．breathing illnesses 37．The “Sol﹣4”is mainly used to　　　　　　． A．shorten the time of cooking B．reduce the cost of making cookers C．raise money through donations to help African people D．reduce the number of deaths caused by harmful smoke． 38．The underlined word “individuals“ most probably means“　　　　　　” A．cookers B．mirrors C．people D．experts 39．Which of the following about the “Sol﹣4”is TRUE？　　　　　　 A．It is six to eight square meters of mirrors． B．It can work in any weather condition now C．It can also heat the pan by lighting firewood D．It is more environment﹣friendly than other cookers． 40．From the passage，we can infer that　　　　　　． A．the “Sol﹣4”will be designed in a smaller size B．more African can use the solar cookers in the future C．the “Sol﹣4”is the first product of the south African company D．the African government will provide poor people with solar cookers． 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 （24-25学年九年级上·武清区·期末） Thanks to technology, the way people communicate with others has greatly changed. Now we live in a world with mobile phones. Our life has become easier since the invention of the mobile phones. I ordered some snacks on my phone yesterday afternoon. Once I got home from work that evening, I saw they were already at my door. So fast! Have you ever thought about how people in the past communicated and did things without mobile phones? Take the post for example. Before phones, if you wanted to keep in touch with someone far away, you needed to send them a letter in the mail. When my mum was in primary school, she used to do this with her “pen pal”. A pen pal is a name for a person you keep in touch with mainly through postal mail. My mum would write to her pen pal every few months, and then, after a little while, her pen pal would write back. Later, once email became a common thing, sending letters in the post was so slow to people. It became known as “snail mail”! What if you were at an airport in the time before mobile phones? My dad said that in the 1970s there used to be message boards at some airports. If you needed to exit (离开) the airport and wanted to leave a message for a friend who would be arriving later, you could write them a message and stick it on the message board. Then, your friend could go check the board later and see what you wrote to them! So the ways that people use to communicate are becoming easier and quicker. 56．How is our life with the invention of the mobile phones according to the writer? A．Boring. B．Easy. C．Tiring. D．Hard. 57．What does the underlined word “they” refer to in Paragraph 2? A．Some snacks. B．Some books. C．Some phones. D．Some letters. 58．How did the writer’s mum keep in touch with her pen pal? A．By calling her. B．By using computers. C．By writing letters. D．By sending messages. 59．Why does the writer use “snail mail” in Paragraph 2? A．Because the writer likes writing letters. B．Because the writer likes sending letters. C．Because sending letters in the post is fast. D．Because sending letters in the post is slow. 60．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Leaving a message is useful. B．Sending letters in the post is popular. C．How to leave a message at the airport. D．The ways that people use to communicate. 主题02 人与社会——历史社会与文化 （24-25学年九年级上·武清区·期末） Thanks to technology, the way people communicate with others has greatly changed.

They will last a long time in a vase (花瓶) . Sunflower seeds (种子) are good to eat. People, birds, and other animals love to eat sunflower seeds. They can be difficult to be eaten because of the shell (壳) , but they are rich in protein (蛋白质) and are good for health. Sunflower seeds also have a lot of oil in them. Many people use sunflower oil for cooking. The food tastes very nice after using it. Sunflowers are not only beautiful flowers, but also give us and other animals food.

People turned off the lights in the city’s tallest buildings after midnight so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes. Every year in autumn, some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south, and come back the next spring. Lights mean danger to birds. Birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky. Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them as stars. This means they can not find the right way to go back home. It’s a pity that a lot of birds even die from lights. This month, about 300 kinds of birds are flying over Chicago to go back to the south to live through the cold winter. Birds fly to warmer places for a few reasons. Many birds cannot live in the cold, so they fly to warmer places. But there are other reasons, too. Birds need to look for food in the south. Another reason is that they want to have baby birds. Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same “house” they lived in last year, so they fly back there. At the same time, birds give their young a better chance of growing up, avoid being eaten by predators (捕食者) .         There are about 9, 000 kinds of birds in the world, and about 600 kinds of birds migrate. Some birds can fly a very long way. Sometimes they fly to other countries. We have fewer birds today because there are fewer places for birds. 36．Why did people in Chicago turn off their lights last week? A．Because they wanted to save money. B．Because they liked the dark night. C．Because they were afraid that birds would make much noise. D．Because they were afraid that birds would lose their home way. 37．How do birds find their way? A．By looking at lights in the city. B．By looking at the stars in the sky. C．By following light from the sun. D．By looking at trees on the road. 38．The underlined word “migrate” means ________ in Chinese. A．重生 B．定居 C．迁徙 D．冬眠 39．Which of the following statements is NOT true? A．All birds fly to warmer places every year. B．Some birds have to fly to warmer places in autumn. C．Some birds can fly a long way to other countries D．About 600 kinds of birds migrate in the world. 40．What is the best title of the passage? A．Lights Out Plan B．Turn off the Lights C．Different Kinds of Birds D．Migration of Birds 主题04 人与社会——科学与技术 （24-25学年九年级上·西青·期末） Waste recycling is a big problem for most countries around the world. Many countries are trying to think of ways to solve it. But most of the ways are not very successful. However, Germany has done a good job in dealing with its waste. It recycles more waste than any other country in Europe. Today, its recycling is close to 80% of its waste. The German government set up an organization to charge companies for the things they use to package (包装) products. The more things they use, the more the companies will pay. The purpose is to reduce waste before anyone buys a product. Germany has also reduced glass and plastic garbage by giving money to people who find and return bottles and other items. To help make recycling easier, recycling bins (回收箱) in Germany come in different colors. Paper goes in the blue bin, and plastic goes in the yellow bin. The brown bin is for kitchen waste and other organic (有机的) waste while the black or grey bin is for everything else. People have to sort (把……分类) their rubbish before throwing it away. Some of the garbage can be turned into new things. For example, kitchen waste is turned into compost (混合肥料). Germany deals with two-thirds of its rubbish by recycling. What’s more, the German government will burn the garbage that cannot be recycled. Burning the waste can produce electricity, which only creates a small amount of ash (灰烬). Germany can do this because people agree with the government. They think that recycling is important for everyone. 36．In Germany, the recycling of the waste is close to ________ today. A．60% B．70% C．80% D．90% 37．What does the underlined word charge mean in Chinese? A．检查 B．改变 C．选择 D．收费 38．What’s the purpose of giving money to people who return bottles and other items in Germany? A．To help these people. B．To increase sales of bottled products. C．To raise some money. D．To reduce glass and plastic garbage. 39．Which of the following is TRUE about the recycling bins in Germany? A．There are six different colors for the recycling bins. B．The grey bin is for kitchen waste. C．The organic waste should be thrown into the black bin. D．The bins in different colors help recycle waste easier. 40．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Recycling bins in Germany come in different colors. B．Germany has a very successful waste recycling system. C．The German government charges companies for packaging products. D．Burning waste can produce electricity. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 阅读理解（说明文+议论文） 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25学年九年级上·红桥区·期末） Since tea spread from China worldwide, it has become one of the most popular drinks in the world. Different countries have their own tea cultures, like afternoon tea in England. The tradition of afternoon tea is a very special part of English culture. The custom of drinking tea became popular in England during the 1660s. It was not until the mid-19th century that the idea of “afternoon tea” first appeared. Afternoon tea is served in the mid-afternoon, between lunch and a late dinner. The idea came from Anna, the seventh Duchess (公爵夫人) of Bedford, in 1840. At the time, many families would eat a late dinner at about 8 pm, which was one of only two main meals each day, and the other was a mid-morning meal. With a long time between breakfast and dinner, Anna would become hungry around 4 o’clock in the afternoon. So she asked some tea, bread, butter and cakes to be brought to her room during the late afternoon. This became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her. Later, Anna continued it, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for “tea and a walking in the fields”. Others soon picked up on (注意到) the idea. By the 1880s, afternoon tea became an event for many ladies. They would be dressed beautifully to be served in the sitting room between four and five o’clock, talking about the latest news, their daily life and fashion. Today’s afternoon tea is simpler than traditional afternoon tea. It is just a biscuit or small cake and a cup of tea. However, there is one thing that has never changed—the meaning of afternoon tea. 36．When did the idea of “afternoon tea” first appear in England? A．In the 1660s. B．In the 1880s. C．In the mid-19th century. D．In the 20th century. 37．In Paragraph 3, what does the “two main meals” probably refer to? A．A lunch and a late dinner. B．A breakfast and a lunch. C．A breakfast and a mid-afternoon meal. D．A mid-morning meal and a late dinner. 38．Why did Anna ask for tea and cakes in the afternoon at first? A．Because she loved drinking tea. B．Because she felt hungry. C．Because she needed to treat friends. D．Because she wanted to talk about fashion. 39．What can we infer (推断) from the passage?

Different countries have their own tea cultures, like afternoon tea in England. The tradition of afternoon tea is a very special part of English culture. The custom of drinking tea became popular in England during the 1660s. It was not until the mid-19th century that the idea of “afternoon tea” first appeared. Afternoon tea is served in the mid-afternoon, between lunch and a late dinner. The idea came from Anna, the seventh Duchess (公爵夫人) of Bedford, in 1840. At the time, many families would eat a late dinner at about 8 pm, which was one of only two main meals each day, and the other was a mid-morning meal. With a long time between breakfast and dinner, Anna would become hungry around 4 o’clock in the afternoon. So she asked some tea, bread, butter and cakes to be brought to her room during the late afternoon. This became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her. Later, Anna continued it, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for “tea and a walking in the fields”. Others soon picked up on (注意到) the idea. By the 1880s, afternoon tea became an event for many ladies. They would be dressed beautifully to be served in the sitting room between four and five o’clock, talking about the latest news, their daily life and fashion. Today’s afternoon tea is simpler than traditional afternoon tea. It is just a biscuit or small cake and a cup of tea. However, there is one thing that has never changed—the meaning of afternoon tea. 36．When did the idea of “afternoon tea” first appear in England? A．In the 1660s. B．In the 1880s. C．In the mid-19th century. D．In the 20th century. 37．In Paragraph 3, what does the “two main meals” probably refer to? A．A lunch and a late dinner. B．A breakfast and a lunch. C．A breakfast and a mid-afternoon meal. D．A mid-morning meal and a late dinner. 38．Why did Anna ask for tea and cakes in the afternoon at first? A．Because she loved drinking tea. B．Because she felt hungry. C．Because she needed to treat friends. D．Because she wanted to talk about fashion. 39．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．Afternoon tea has spread all over the world. B．People used to drink tea more often than now. C．The meaning of afternoon tea has never changed. D．Afternoon tea gives people a chance to communicate. 40．What is the best title of the passage? A．The Advantages of Drinking Tea B．The Development of Afternoon Tea C．The History of Tea D．Different Tea Cultures in the World 【答案】36．C 37．D 38．B 39．D 40．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍下午茶的发展。 36．细节理解题。根据“It was not until the mid-19th century that the idea of ‘afternoon tea’ first appeared.”可知，直到19世纪中期，“下午茶”的概念才首次出现。故选C。 37．细节理解题。根据“At the time, many families would eat a late dinner at about 8 p.m., which was one of only two main meals each day, and the other was a mid-morning meal.”可知，许多家庭在晚上8点左右吃晚饭，这是每天仅有的两顿主餐之一，另一顿是上午的午餐。所以此处“two main meals”指的就是上午的午餐和晚一点的晚餐，故选D。 38．细节理解题。根据“With a long time between breakfast and dinner, Anna would become hungry around 4 o’clock in the afternoon.

It was the world’s fourth-largest lake in the past, but over 90% of it has dried up (枯竭). It was about 67,300 square kilometers in 1960, while in 2020 it was only about 6,730 square kilometers. Maybe we can’t see the lake one day. There are only two rivers running into the Aral Sea. Russia started to grow cotton in the late 1960s. Cotton farms used too much water from the two rivers. The lake could get little water. Besides, there were more people living near the Aral Sea. They took water from it. The lake lost more water. It is very bad for the Aral Sea to lose so much water. Sand-dust storms (沙尘暴) come from the dry lake bed. They are bad for people’s health. The Aral Sea becomes more salty, and lots of fish died because of this. 31．The water area of the Aral Sea in 2020 is about ________ of that in 1960. A．90% B．60% C．40% D．10% 32．When may Russia start to grow cotton? A．In 1968. B．In 1965. C．In 1963. D．In 1960. 33．Why did the Aral Sea lose so much water? A．Because it rained little. B．Because there were sand-dust storms. C．Because more people lived nearby and took water from it. D．Because people used the water from the Aral Sea to water cotton. 34．Lots of fish died because of ________. A．the more salty lake B．the sand-dust storms C．the dry lake bed D．the dirty water 35．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The Aral Sea Is Getting Smaller B．Use Less Water from the Aral Sea C．Save Water, Save Ourselves D．The World’s Fourth-largest Lake 【答案】31．D 32．A 33．D 34．A 35．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了咸海的相关情况。 31．细节理解题。根据“It was about 67,300 square kilometers in 1960, while in 2020 it was only about 6,730 square kilometers.”可知，1960年时，咸海的面积约为6.73万平方千米，而到了2020年，其面积仅约为6730平方千米，即2020年咸海的水域面积大约只有1960年的10%。故选D。 32．推理判断题。根据“Russia started to grow cotton in the late 1960s.”可知，20世纪60年代末开始种棉花，因此有可能是在1968年开始种植的。故选A。 33．细节理解题。根据“Cotton farms used too much water from the two rivers. The lake could get little water. Besides, there were more people living near the Aral Sea. They took water from it. The lake lost more water.”可知，咸海的水流失的原因有两个：注入咸海的两条支流中的水源被人们取来浇棉花，因此几乎没有水可以流入咸海；更多的人居住在咸海附近，咸海本身的水也被人们取走作为生活用水。故选D。 34．细节理解题。根据“The Aral Sea becomes more salty, and lots of fish died because of this.”可知，咸海变得更咸，许多鱼因此死亡。故选A。 35．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要围绕咸海的水域在不断缩小展开介绍，主要介绍了它缩小的原因和带来的影响，故A“咸海正在变小”为最佳标题。故选A。 主题04 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 （24-25学年九年级上·河北区·期末） You don’t have to be old to be an inventor. Frank Epperson invented the Popsicle when he was just eleven years old. One winter day in 1905, after a day of play, he left his drink outside with the stir stick (搅拌棒), he found his drink was frozen like an icicle (冰柱). Frank tasted it and found it was delicious. And it became a hit with his friends. When he grew up, Frank Epperson sold land and houses for a living. By 1921 he had to make a living for his wife and five children. But Frank never forgot the frozen treat (冰品) that he had discovered. He decided to continue with it. He soon started a business—selling the frozen treats in seven flavours (口味). He named the ice on a stick “Epsicle”. His children didn’t think that was a very good name. They called the frozen treat “Pop’s sicle”. The name was later changed to “Popsicle”. In 1924 Frank got a patent (专利) for his frozen treat. During the late 1920s and the 1930s, the United States went through hard times. Many people lost their jobs. Twin ice pops (双棒棒冰) with two sticks were invented. They were just five cents and two children could share them. Today millions of Popsicles are sold every year. They come in thirty flavours. The most popular flavour is cherry. Now whenever we enjoy ice pops in summer, we have Frank Epperson to thank. 35．What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?________ A．How ice pops are made. B．What people drank in the 1900s. C．What happens on cold winter nights. D．How Frank discovered the frozen treat. 36．The word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________. A．making a living for his family B．playing with his friends C．selling land and houses D．making his frozen treat 37．Who helped Frank with the name of his frozen treat?________ A．His wife. B．His friends. C．His children. D．His customers. 38．What do we know about twin ice pops?________ A．They were invented by a jobless man. B．They allowed two children to share an ice pop. C．They were expensive when they were invented. D．They came in thirty flavours in the beginning. 39．What is the best title of the passage?________ A．A young scientist B．A frozen invention C．A kid’s sweet drink D．A big business in summer 【答案】35．D 36．D 37．C 38．B 39．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了11岁的弗兰克•埃普森发明了冰棒。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Frank Epperson invented the Popsicle when he was just eleven years old. One winter day in 1905, after a day of play, he left his drink outside with the stir stick ( 搅拌棒), he found his drink was frozen like an icicle (冰柱). Frank tasted it and found it was delicious.

Now we live in a world with mobile phones. Our life has become easier since the invention of the mobile phones. I ordered some snacks on my phone yesterday afternoon. Once I got home from work that evening, I saw they were already at my door. So fast! Have you ever thought about how people in the past communicated and did things without mobile phones? Take the post for example. Before phones, if you wanted to keep in touch with someone far away, you needed to send them a letter in the mail. When my mum was in primary school, she used to do this with her “pen pal”. A pen pal is a name for a person you keep in touch with mainly through postal mail. My mum would write to her pen pal every few months, and then, after a little while, her pen pal would write back. Later, once email became a common thing, sending letters in the post was so slow to people. It became known as “snail mail”! What if you were at an airport in the time before mobile phones? My dad said that in the 1970s there used to be message boards at some airports. If you needed to exit (离开) the airport and wanted to leave a message for a friend who would be arriving later, you could write them a message and stick it on the message board. Then, your friend could go check the board later and see what you wrote to them! So the ways that people use to communicate are becoming easier and quicker. 56．How is our life with the invention of the mobile phones according to the writer? A．Boring. B．Easy. C．Tiring. D．Hard. 57．What does the underlined word “they” refer to in Paragraph 2? A．Some snacks. B．Some books. C．Some phones. D．Some letters. 58．How did the writer’s mum keep in touch with her pen pal? A．By calling her. B．By using computers. C．By writing letters. D．By sending messages. 59．Why does the writer use “snail mail” in Paragraph 2? A．Because the writer likes writing letters. B．Because the writer likes sending letters. C．Because sending letters in the post is fast. D．Because sending letters in the post is slow. 60．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Leaving a message is useful. B．Sending letters in the post is popular. C．How to leave a message at the airport. D．The ways that people use to communicate. 【答案】56．B 57．A 58．C 59．D 60．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了以前在没有手机的情况下，人们是如何保持联系的。 56．细节理解题。根据“Our life has become easier since the invention of the mobile phones.”可知，作者认为电话发明后，生活变得更加容易了。故选B。 57．词义猜测题。根据“I ordered some snacks on my phone yesterday afternoon.

People turned off the lights in the city’s tallest buildings after midnight so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes. Every year in autumn, some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south, and come back the next spring. Lights mean danger to birds. Birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky. Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them as stars. This means they can not find the right way to go back home. It’s a pity that a lot of birds even die from lights. This month, about 300 kinds of birds are flying over Chicago to go back to the south to live through the cold winter. Birds fly to warmer places for a few reasons. Many birds cannot live in the cold, so they fly to warmer places. But there are other reasons, too. Birds need to look for food in the south. Another reason is that they want to have baby birds. Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same “house” they lived in last year, so they fly back there. At the same time, birds give their young a better chance of growing up, avoid being eaten by predators (捕食者) .         There are about 9, 000 kinds of birds in the world, and about 600 kinds of birds migrate. Some birds can fly a very long way. Sometimes they fly to other countries. We have fewer birds today because there are fewer places for birds. 36．Why did people in Chicago turn off their lights last week? A．Because they wanted to save money. B．Because they liked the dark night. C．Because they were afraid that birds would make much noise. D．Because they were afraid that birds would lose their home way. 37．How do birds find their way? A．By looking at lights in the city. B．By looking at the stars in the sky. C．By following light from the sun. D．By looking at trees on the road. 38．The underlined word “migrate” means ________ in Chinese. A．重生 B．定居 C．迁徙 D．冬眠 39．Which of the following statements is NOT true? A．All birds fly to warmer places every year. B．Some birds have to fly to warmer places in autumn. C．Some birds can fly a long way to other countries D．About 600 kinds of birds migrate in the world. 40．What is the best title of the passage? A．Lights Out Plan B．Turn off the Lights C．Different Kinds of Birds D．Migration of Birds 【答案】36．D 37．B 38．C 39．A 40．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了芝加哥加入“关灯计划”以帮助鸟类迁徙，以及鸟类迁徙的相关信息。 36．推理判断题。根据第一段“People turned off the lights in the city’s tallest buildings after midnight so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes.”和第二段“Birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky. Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them as stars. This means they can not find the right way to go back home.”可推知，芝加哥人上周关闭电灯是因为他们害怕鸟儿会迷失回家的路，故选D。 37．细节理解题。根据第二段“Birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky.”可知，小鸟通过看天空中的星星来找路，故选B。 38．词义猜测题。根据最后一段“Some birds can fly a very long way. Sometimes they fly to other countries.”可知，有些小鸟可以飞很远的路，有时它们会飞到其他国家去，结合选项可推测，migrate意为“迁徙”，故选C。 39．细节理解题。根据第三段“Many birds cannot live in the cold, so they fly to warmer places.”可知，很多鸟类不能居住在寒冷的地方，因此它们会飞去更温暖的地方过冬，但不是所有的鸟类都会飞去更温暖的地方过冬，所有选项A“所有的鸟每年都会飞去更温暖的地方”表述错误，故选A。 40．标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了鸟类迁徙的相关信息，所以选项D“鸟类的迁徙”是最佳标题，故选D。 主题04 人与社会——科学与技术 （24-25学年九年级上·西青·期末） Waste recycling is a big problem for most countries around the world. Many countries are trying to think of ways to solve it. But most of the ways are not very successful. However, Germany has done a good job in dealing with its waste. It recycles more waste than any other country in Europe. Today, its recycling is close to 80% of its waste. The German government set up an organization to charge companies for the things they use to package (包装) products. The more things they use, the more the companies will pay. The purpose is to reduce waste before anyone buys a product. Germany has also reduced glass and plastic garbage by giving money to people who find and return bottles and other items. To help make recycling easier, recycling bins (回收箱) in Germany come in different colors. Paper goes in the blue bin, and plastic goes in the yellow bin. The brown bin is for kitchen waste and other organic (有机的) waste while the black or grey bin is for everything else. People have to sort (把……分类) their rubbish before throwing it away. Some of the garbage can be turned into new things. For example, kitchen waste is turned into compost (混合肥料). Germany deals with two-thirds of its rubbish by recycling. What’s more, the German government will burn the garbage that cannot be recycled. Burning the waste can produce electricity, which only creates a small amount of ash (灰烬). Germany can do this because people agree with the government. They think that recycling is important for everyone. 36．In Germany, the recycling of the waste is close to ________ today. A．60% B．70% C．80% D．90% 37．What does the underlined word charge mean in Chinese? A．检查 B．改变 C．选择 D．收费 38．What’s the purpose of giving money to people who return bottles and other items in Germany? A．To help these people. B．To increase sales of bottled products. C．To raise some money. D．To reduce glass and plastic garbage. 39．Which of the following is TRUE about the recycling bins in Germany? A．There are six different colors for the recycling bins. B．The grey bin is for kitchen waste. C．The organic waste should be thrown into the black bin. D．The bins in different colors help recycle waste easier. 40．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Recycling bins in Germany come in different colors. B．Germany has a very successful waste recycling system. C．The German government charges companies for packaging products. D．Burning waste can produce electricity. 【答案】36．C 37．D 38．D 39．D 40．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了德国在回收垃圾方面取得的成就和一些具体的做法。 36．细节理解题。根据“Today, its recycling is close to 80% of its waste.”可知，德国的垃圾回收率接近80%，故选C。 37．词句猜测题。根据后句“The more things they use, the more the companies will pay.”可知，德国政府设立了一个组织，对公司用于包装产品的物品进行收费，他们使用的东西越多，公司支付的费用就越多。因此可推测出，划线词“charge”的意思是“收费”。故选D。 38．细节理解题。根据“Germany has also reduced glass and plastic garbage by giving money to people who find and return bottles and other items.”可知，德国给予报酬的目的是减少玻璃和塑料垃圾。故选D。 39．细节理解题。根据“To help make recycling easier, recycling bins (回收箱) in Germany come in different colors.”和后文可知，不同颜色的垃圾箱使回收变得更容易。故选D。 40．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了德国在回收垃圾方面取得的成就和一些具体的做法，选项B“德国拥有非常成功的废物回收系统”符合文章主旨。故选B。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
