暑假衔接：题型组合练（阅读6篇 完形5篇 语篇填空6篇 任务型6篇）（南京专用）2026-2027学年 译林版九年级英语上册 解析卷 一、阅读理解 （25-26八年级下·江苏南京·期末）Food brings people together across cultures, but table manners can sometimes create quite a cultural divide. What seems normal in one country might leave visitors confused in another. Let’s see some eating customs around the world. In Western countries, making noise while eating is considered rude. However, slurping (出声地吃) your noodles in Japan is encouraged! This is because slurping is considered a sign that you are really enjoying the meal. It also helps mix air with the noodles, making them taste better. So to a Japanese chef, the sound of your slurp is the best praise. In Russia, people believe that passing a salt shaker (盐瓶) directly from one person to another leads to an argument between them. Instead, salt should be placed on the table for the other person to pick up. While passing the salt at the dinner table, try not to spill it, or it could lead to an argument as well. If this happens, you should throw some spilled salt over your left shoulder and do it with a laugh. Then, everything should turn out just fine. In Italy, there’s an unwritten rule that cappuccino should only be consumed at breakfast. If you order one after 11 am, or after lunch or dinner, the waiter might be a little surprised. This is because Italians think that milk is hard to digest (消化) and believe drinking it late in the day can hurt your stomach. In India, it’s very common to eat with your hands. However, there is an important rule: you should only use your right hand. The left hand, considered unclean, must not be used for eating. For this reason, people in India often use bread like naan to scoop up their food. 1．Why do Japanese people slurp when eating noodles? A．To cool the noodles down. B．To show respect to the waiter. C．To show they enjoy the meal. D．To follow strict table manners. 2．Why must people avoid eating with their left hand in India? A．The left hand is used for drinking. B．The left hand is considered unclean. C．The left hand is too weak to hold food. D．The left hand is only for serving others. 3．What is the main purpose of this article? A．To encourage people to try new foods. B．To show how food can connect different cultures. C．To describe dining rules in several countries. D．To show why table manners are important to travellers. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 【导语】本文介绍了日本、俄罗斯、意大利和印度四个国家的不同餐桌礼仪和饮食习惯。 【详解】1．第二段提到“slurping is considered a sign that you are really enjoying the meal”，因此日本人吃面条时发出声音是为了表示他们享受这顿饭。 2．最后一段提到“you should only use your right hand. The left hand, considered unclean, must not be used for eating.”，因此在印度避免用左手吃饭是因为左手被认为不洁。 3．全文分别介绍了日本、俄罗斯、意大利和印度的餐桌礼仪和饮食习惯，“描述几个国家的用餐规则”最能概括文章主旨。 （25-26八年级下·江苏南京·期末） I hoped to be set free one day, so I was nice to the Lilliputians. Gradually, ▲ Sometimes the children even played hide-and-seek in my hair. One day, the king said to me, “Gulliver, I invite you to watch an important performance. It is a contest called Rope Dancing”. In the contest, a thin rope was tied between two poles very high above the ground. People had to dance on this rope. Each dancer tried to jump higher than the others. I had never seen such a dangerous sport. “Your majesty,” I said, “many dancers must fall and be hurt or killed.” “Yes,” he replied. But I will give the best jobs in my kingdom to the men who are not afraid and jump the highest. “What a strange way to choose who will work for the country!” I thought. Then, as the king watched, I tied each corner of my handkerchief (手帕) to a strong stick, and pushed the four sticks into the ground. My handkerchief was now under the rope but above the ground. Any dancer who fell would land on the handkerchief and not get hurt. The king was very pleased with my invention. His family and many other people watched the rope dancing. “Would you and the queen like to see better?” I asked the king. I gently put them on my hand and held it beside the rope. They had a good view of the dancers. One very skilled performer held on to the rope and flipped (翻转) his body right over it. The king and the queen clapped loudly and cheered. Later the king told me that he made this man one of his chief (首要的) advisers. The king and I met often. He seemed to enjoy our conversations. One day, I said again, “Your Majesty, please set me free.” This time he answered, “I have talked to my advisers. We agree that you have been good to our people...” 4．Which of the following can be put into ▲ ? A．they left me alone. B．they lost fear of me. C．they were angry with me. D．they didn’t care about me. 5．Who would take part in the contest? A．Tourists in the kingdom. B．Children with no families. C．Dancers the king picked out. D．People who wanted the best jobs. 6．What did Gulliver do with his handkerchief? A．He tied its four corners to four sticks. B．He blew his nose with it. C．He tied it around the king. D．He only placed it on the ground. 7．What might the king do with Gulliver in the end? A．The king set him free. B．The king left him tied up. C．The king decided to kill him. D．The king made him an adviser. 【答案】4．B 5．D 6．A 7．A 【导语】本文节选自《格列佛游记》，讲述了格列佛在小人国获得信任后观看“绳上跳舞”比赛，并用他的手帕保护舞者不受伤害，国王最终同意考虑释放他的故事。 【详解】4．第一段提到“I was nice to the Lilliputians”，后文提到“Sometimes the children even played hide-and-seek in my hair.”，孩子们敢在他头发里玩捉迷藏，说明他们不再害怕他。由此可以推断，横线处应填入“they lost fear of me”。 5．第四段国王说“I will give the best jobs in my kingdom to the men who are not afraid and jump the highest.”，因此参加比赛的是想要获得最好工作的人。 6．第五段提到“I tied each corner of my handkerchief to a strong stick, and pushed the four sticks into the ground.”，因此格列佛把手帕的四个角绑在四根棍子上。 7．最后一段国王说“We agree that you have been good to our people...”，结合格列佛一直希望被释放，由此可以推断国王最终会释放他。 （25-26八年级下·江苏南京·期末）Sometimes, making someone happy is easy; just say a few words that really satisfy him. From strangers to your family and closest friends, there are many nice things we can say to them to bring a little kindness to the world. However, some people find it difficult to say something nice to others. Recently, the topic “Don’t feel ashamed to give praise” has gone popular on social media. People shared personal experiences when they felt too shy to say something nice about someone. They also expressed their worries: “What if others think my words are just flattery (奉承)?” “What if I praise someone and only get the cold shoulder?” Because of these fears, some choose to stay quiet, leaving kind words unsaid. This small habit seems harmless, but it can hide our true feelings. Little by little, we get used to keeping our praise, care and kindness deep inside. Over time, it can change our relationships and even reduce our own sense of happiness. As a result, we may start to feel distant from others. In fact, saying something nice doesn’t mean we are trying to please others against our will. Instead, it shows we pay attention to the strengths and efforts of those around us, and we value and respect them. A simple and sincere praise can warm someone’s heart, reduce misunderstandings (误会) and bring people together. So next time you see your friend wearing a beautiful coat, why not give him sincere praise? For example, you can focus on details like “This colour looks great on you!” or “You really have good taste in music!” These kind words not only make your friend happy but also create a pleasant feeling between you. Kind words cost nothing, but they can mean everything. 8．Why do some people find it hard to praise others? A．Because they like to keep their praise inside. B．Because they think kind words cost too much. C．Because they may praise others against their wishes. D．Because they worry others will not like their words. 9．What does the phrase “cold shoulder” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．A polite and warm welcome. B．A shy and quiet conversation. C．A silent and unfriendly reply. D．A cold and dishonest manner. 10．The writer mentions “This colour looks great on you” as an example to show that ________. A．praise about clothing is always the perfect choice B．a simple and detailed praise can build a good relationship C．a simple praise can sometimes reduce misunderstandings D．friends usually care more about their appearance than other things 11．What would be the best title of the passage? A．The Secret to True Happiness B．Why We Should Not Praise Others C．The Power of a Sincere Praise D．How to Avoid Misunderstandings 12．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To explain why some people are afraid of giving praise. B．To encourage readers to express sincere praise to others. C．To tell readers how to tell flattery from true praise. D．To show that keeping kind words inside is sometimes better. 【答案】8．D 9．C 10．B 11．C 12．B 【导语】本文阐述真诚赞美拥有强大力量，分析人们不愿夸赞他人的种种顾虑与压抑善意评价带来的不良影响，介绍细节化真诚夸奖的积极作用，呼吁人们主动向他人表达赞美。 【详解】8．原文第二段提到“They also expressed their worries: “What if others think my words are just flattery?” “What if I praise someone and only get the cold shoulder?”，说明人们担心对方不认可、不喜欢自己的赞美，因此难以开口夸奖他人。 9．原文第二段提到“What if I praise someone and only get the cold shoulder?”，结合本段人们担心夸赞得不到好回应的语境可判断该短语指冷淡、不友好的回应。 10．原文第六段提到“A simple and sincere praise can warm someone’s heart, reduce misunderstandings and bring people together... These kind words not only make your friend happy but also create a pleasant feeling between you.”，说明细致简单的真诚赞美能够拉近人与人之间的距离，建立良好关系。 11．全文围绕真诚赞美带来的温暖、融洽关系等正向作用展开，核心主题是真诚赞美的力量。 12．原文第一段、第六段、第七段依次点明赞美能让人开心、举例倡导真诚夸赞、总结善意话语意义，全文写作目的是鼓励读者向他人表达真诚的赞美。 （25-26九年级上·江苏南京·开学考试）                                                                The Story Behind Mid-Autumn Festival Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. It falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, when the moon is believed to be the fullest and brightest. The festival has a long history. One of the most famous legends about it is the story of Chang’e. According to the legend, Chang’e was the wife of Hou Yi, a brave archer. Hou Yi shot down nine suns to save people from the hot weather. As a reward, he got a magic pill that could make people live forever. Hou Yi didn’t want to leave Chang’e, so he kept the pill at home. However, a bad man tried to steal the pill. To protect it, Chang’e took the pill and flew to the moon. Since then, people have celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival by admiring the moon, hoping to see Chang’e on the moon. Today, Mid-Autumn Festival is still a time for family reunion. People usually go back home to have dinner with their families. The most popular food during the festival is mooncakes—round pastries filled with sweet fillings like lotus seed paste or red bean paste. Some mooncakes also have salted egg yolks in them, which represent the full moon. In recent years, people have started to celebrate the festival in new ways. For example, some cities hold moon-viewing parties in parks, and others organize traditional dance performances. But no matter how the way changes, the meaning of the festival—family love and reunion—remains the same. 13．When is Mid-Autumn Festival celebrated? A．On the 1st day of the 1st lunar month. B．On the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. C．On the 5th day of the 5th lunar month. D．On the 9th day of the 9th lunar month. 14．Why did Hou Yi get the magic pill? A．Because he saved Chang’e from danger. B．Because he shot down nine suns. C．Because he protected the moon from bad men. D．Because he made delicious mooncakes. 15．What do salted egg yolks in mooncakes represent? A．The full moon. B．Chang’e on the moon. C．Family reunion. D．The magic pill. 【答案】13．B 14．B 15．A 【导语】本文主要从传说、传统习俗和现代演变三个方面，介绍了中国的中秋节。 【详解】13．细节理解题。根据第一段“It falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month…”可知，农历八月十五日是中秋节。故选B。 14．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Hou Yi shot down nine suns to save people from the hot weather. As a reward, he got a magic pill…”可知，仙丹是后羿英雄行为的直接奖励。故选B。 15．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Some mooncakes also have salted egg yolks in them, which represent the full moon. ”可知咸蛋黄因其颜色和形状与中秋的满月相似，所以被用作象征。故选A。 （23-24九年级上·江苏南京·开学考试）I’m rather good at using maps. But I forgot the maps and here we were, late afternoon, last day of vacation, my daughter, my cousin and I, driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon. No other car in sight, and the sun had just gone down. Where was that sweet little village? It should be right along this river. We drove on, farther into the unknown, river always at left as our guide. We kept passing farms and fields and now a few lights were coming out. In my head, I was doing a lot of self-criticisms (自我批评): Why didn’t we start earlier, bring the map and on and on? My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed. My daughter, at least, was happy in the back seat, text messaging a friend. I pulled up on the shoulder of the road to think. Just then—WOW! Amazing! A new scene had appeared. Where did it come from? Right there, out of nowhere, a magical misty landscape. Fields stretched in silent purples, with rows of tall trees, darkening in the dusk (黄昏). I turned the car engine off. All was silent in the hot summer air. Beside us, a plum-colored river hardly moved between a border of trees, its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day. How breathtaking! Where had it been? If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along, I could have stopped and taken a look. I had missed it all. We miss a lot, almost every thing, in fact, in our world. Our task-focused filters (过滤器) take care of that, choose only what we need. We need to get to work. Have some lunch. We see what we need to see, often for purposes of survival. Gregory Bateson, speaking of beauty, said the judgment is selection of a fact. In our daily lives, who or what is doing the selecting? Can we make a change? Can we see further? 16．Which of the following might be the destination (目的地) of the author’s driving? A．A vacation spot. B．Her own home. C．A tourist centre. D．Her cousin’s farm. 17．What made the author keep criticizing herself in the beginning? A．That the vacation was below her expectations. B．That she wasn’t as good at using maps as before. C．That her cousin and daughter couldn’t get along. D．That lack of full preparations got her to lose her way. 18．The author felt really surprised because ______. A．she discovered a tourist spot unknown to the public B．her carelessness brought an unexpected pleasure C．she reached what she had planned to. D．the right route (路线) to her destination came out of nowhere 19．What does the story intend to tell us? A．Stay cool when you are trapped in trouble. B．Make a change for the purpose of survival. C．Be positive because there’s always a choice. D．Slow down your paces to enjoy beauty in life. 【答案】16．B 17．D 18．B 19．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在度假的最后一天准备回家时，由于忘了带地图，在一条陌生的公路上开车，错过了向往的风景。由此作者感悟：我们在生活中不仅仅是要为了生存去完成生活中的各种任务，还应当对美的事物有所追求。 16．细节理解题。根据“I’m rather good at using maps. But I forgot the maps and here we were, late afternoon, last day of vacation, my daughter, my cousin and I, driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon.”可知，这是作者她们假期的最后一天，即此时她们在返程，所以作者的目的是她自己的家。故选B。 17．细节理解题。根据“In my head, I was doing a lot of self-criticisms (自我批评): Why didn’t we start earlier, bring the map and on and on?”可知，作者自责的事情是没有为旅行做好准备。故选D。 18．推理判断题。根据“Just then—WOW! Amazing! A new scene had appeared. Where did it come from?”可知，粗心给她们带来了意想不到的快乐。故选B。 19．推理判断题。通读全文以及根据倒数第二段“How breathtaking! Where had it been? If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along, I could have stopped and taken a look. I had missed it all.”可知，本文想告诉我们，要放慢脚步，去欣赏生活的美好。故选D。 （25-26九年级上·江苏南京·开学考试）Differences Between Chinese and Western Festivals Festivals are an important part of every culture. But Chinese and Western festivals have many differences, especially in their origins and ways of celebration. First, the origins are different. Most traditional Chinese festivals are related to agriculture (农业) or legends. For example, Spring Festival comes from the tradition of “driving away the monster Nian”, and Dragon Boat Festival is to remember Qu Yuan. Western festivals, however, are often linked to religion (宗教) or history. Christmas, for example, celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, and Thanksgiving is to thank God for a good harvest. Second, the ways of celebration are different. Chinese festivals focus on family reunion. During Spring Festival, people go back home to have dinner with their families, give red envelopes (压岁钱) to children and paste Spring Festival couplets (春联). Mid-Autumn Festival is also a time for family members to get together and admire the moon. Western festivals, on the other hand, are more about social activities. For example, on Christmas, people exchange gifts with friends and family, but they also hold parties with classmates or colleagues. On Halloween, children go trick-or-treating in their neighborhoods, and adults often attend costume parties. Finally, the food during festivals is different. Chinese festival food has special meanings. Mooncakes represent reunion, and dumplings during Spring Festival symbolize wealth. Western festival food is more about taste—like Christmas turkeys and pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving. Despite these differences, both Chinese and Western festivals share the same purpose: to bring people happiness and strengthen relationships. 20．What is Spring Festival related to, according to the passage? A．The birth of Jesus Christ. B．The tradition of driving away Nian. C．Thanking God for a good harvest. D．Remembering Qu Yuan. 21．Which Western festival is to thank God for a good harvest? A．Christmas. B．Halloween. C．Thanksgiving. D．Easter. 22．What do dumplings during Spring Festival symbolize? A．Reunion. B．Wealth. C．Happiness. D．Health. 23．What is the common purpose of Chinese and Western festivals? A．To celebrate good harvests. B．To remember famous people. C．To bring happiness and strengthen relationships. D．To spread religious beliefs. 24．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The origins of Chinese traditional festivals. B．How Western festivals are celebrated. C．Differences between Chinese and Western festivals. D．The importance of festivals in different cultures. 【答案】20．B 21．C 22．B 23．C 24．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中西方节日在起源、庆祝方式和节日食物等方面的差异，同时也指出中西方节日的共同目的是给人们带来快乐并加强人际关系。 【详解】20．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“For example, Spring Festival comes from the tradition of ‘driving away the monster Nian’”可知，春节与“驱赶年兽”的传统有关。故选B。 21．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Thanksgiving is to thank God for a good harvest.”可知，感恩节是为了感谢上帝赐予的好收成。故选C。 22．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“dumplings during Spring Festival symbolize wealth”可知，春节期间的饺子象征着财富。故选B。 23．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Despite these differences, both Chinese and Western festivals share the same purpose: to bring people happiness and strengthen relationships.”可知，中西方节日的共同目的是给人们带来快乐并加强人际关系。故选C。 24．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“But Chinese and Western festivals have many differences, especially in their origins and ways of celebration.”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了中西方节日之间的差异。故选C。 二、完形填空 （25-26八年级下·江苏南京·期末） Alex was excited to visit his cousin Lucas in Brazil.

Over the next few weeks, you’ll learn what makes each of us special, 46 about the life of people with disabilities.” The next day, two special 47 arrive. First is Tessa, an old turtle. She uses a wooden wheelchair to move around. She says, “ 48 I have weak legs, I can still play, explore, and even create new games.” Then comes Bella, a cheerful but deaf squirrel. She uses sign language (手语) and facial expressions to communicate. She 49 the class to sign “hello” and “friend”. A week later, Mrs. Owl holds the Woodland Obstacle (障碍) Race!

Rare Gem Talent School is a space where students with dyslexia (阅读障碍症) learn through sights, sounds and touch. Teachers there a 90 to help every student learn in their own way, and students are encouraged to express themselves o 91 and respectfully. One common problem for children with dyslexia is that they often have a hard time reading. Luckily, students here can make clear p 92 in pronunciation with special teaching methods. They might, for example, mix up letters like “b” and “p”, or even numbers like “9”. Rare Gem is one of the few schools in Kenya where such children can get the help they need. One student told AP News that at his old school, his teacher didn’t understand him. “This school is much better. The support here has g 93 changed my life.” So how does it work? Students take part in activities such as linking letter sounds to colors, learning spelling patterns through songs and u 94 objects to stand for words. Dorothy Kioko said that as a teacher, she cannot just stand in front of students and give lessons. “You teach step by step u 95 the learner gets what you’ re teaching,” she said. Teachers here are r 96 to be patient and creative to meet the students’ needs. Rare Gem was set up in 2012. When it first opened, there were fewer than 10 students. Today, the school has around 210.

Serious losses of food happen from farmers’ fields to customers’ fridges. What’s worse, pollution and natural disasters may cause food shortage. In developing countries, forty percent of food waste happens during harvesting and processing (加工). They are also short of rapid transportation and refrigeration (冷藏), so a large number of crops may go bad before they reach the market. Many farmers don’t have enough money for industrial-sized fridges to keep their products in good conditions. Food waste is also discovered in developed countries. More than forty percent of food waste happens during the process of selling and buying. Shockingly, this amount reaches near the yearly food production in some parts of Africa. In many cases, the vegetables and fruit are thrown away if they look “ugly”, falling short of industry standards. Polluting and destroying the environment do harm to producing food. A few countries are reducing nature areas for growing food crops and raising livestock (牲畜). Most surprisingly, in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest, 800 million trees in the past six years have been cut down to make beef cattle farms. Also, fish farmers still create a great deal of pollution as well as diseases. At present, it seems that food production doesn’t reduce, but it may influence all the living things on the earth in the future. Natural disasters like droughts and storms can destroy a whole year’s crop for an unlucky farmer. Climate change will make such events that were previously thought of as “once in a hundred years” happen more and more often. This means that we’ll need more resources to produce the same amount of food. Food waste is harmful to humans, as well as other life on the earth. It’s not only the problem on customers’ dinner table, but also an international problem that must be dealt with by the governments. Food problems · Food is lost 122 from fields to fridges. · Food shortage is caused by pollution and natural disasters. 123 about food waste in different countries * In developing countries · Some farmers are poor all that time because of the food waste. · Crops may go bad because they can’t be transported rapidly. · Few farmers can 124 industrial-sized fridges to keep their products in good conditions. * In developed countries · In the process of selling and buying, 125 40% of food waste happens. · People throw the vegetables and fruit away 126 they look nice and meet standards.

Food waste is harmful to all of life on the earth. It’s a problem which should be solved by 129 customers and the governments. What natural disaster is mentioned in the passage that can destroy crops? 130 What is one small thing you can do at home to reduce food waste? 131 【答案】 122．everywhere 123．Facts/Situations 124．afford 125．over 126．unless 127．effects/influences 128．caused 129．both 130．Droughts and storms. 131．Don’t cook too much food./Finish the food on my plate./Plan meals carefully. 【导语】本文分析了全球粮食浪费的现状、原因及其对环境的影响，并呼吁各国政府和消费者共同应对这一问题。 【详解】122．第一段指出：“Food waste is always seen all over the world … happen from farmers’ fields to customers’ fridges”，说明粮食浪费严重地在全球各地哪里都发生。因此空格处应填副词表示“到处”的单词，故填everywhere。 123．表格第二部分根据文章内容主要讲了在发达国家和发展中国家粮食浪费的“事实”和“情况”，所以可填Facts或Situations，注意首字母大写。 124．第二段提到：“Many farmers don’t have enough money for industrial-sized fridges”，说明许多农民买不起工业规模的冰箱。因此应填“afford”，表示“买得起”。 125．第三段提到：“More than forty percent of food waste happens during the process of selling and buying.”，说明在销售和购买过程中，超过40%的粮食浪费发生。因此应填“over”，表示“超过”。 126．第三段提到：“the vegetables and fruit are thrown away if they look ‘ugly’, falling short of industry standards.”，说明“除非”蔬菜和水果看起来好看或符合标准，否则就会被扔掉。因此应填“unless”，表示条件。 127．第四段描述污染和环境破坏对粮食生产的影响，因此表格标题“Bad ______ on producing food”应填“effects”或“influences”，表示“不良影响”。 128．第四段提到：“fish farmers still create a great deal of pollution as well as diseases.”，说明养鱼场造成大量污染和疾病。因此应填“caused”，表示“造成”。 129．最后一段提到：“It’s not only the problem on customers’ dinner table, but also an international problem that must be dealt with by the governments.”，说明粮食浪费既是消费者的问题，也是政府的问题。因此应填“both”，表示“两者都”。 130．第五段提到：“Natural disasters like droughts and storms can destroy a whole year’s crop”，说明干旱和风暴等自然灾害会毁掉一整年的庄稼。答案是原文直接信息，注意首字母大写。 131．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，但需结合文章内容和实际生活。 （25-26八年级下·江苏南京·期末）请认真阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文章后表格中第1—8小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，9题不少于20词。 If you love reading, you may want to share your favourite books with others. A good way to do this is to write a book review. Unlike a book report, a book review does not just tell what the book is about. It also helps readers decide whether the book is worth reading. This article will give you an idea of what a book review should be like. How long should it be? There is no exact answer for the length (长度) of a book review. Usually, a review for a short book may be about 100 words, while a review for a long book may be 500 words or even more. However, length is not the most important thing—what matters is giving enough useful ideas without telling too much of the story. If a review is too short, it may not help readers. If it is too long, readers may lose their interest. How do you create a title? The title of the review should clearly show your main feeling or opinion, instead of being meaningless. Good titles include examples like “Full of action and interesting characters”, while weak titles may look like “Really good book”. What should you write about? ● Start with simple information: What kind of book is it? Is it part of a series? Who is it for? Is the style formal or informal? ● Although many reviews begin with a short summary, you can also try other ways if you are creative enough. ● When talking about the story, give just enough to make readers curious. Set up the main situation (“Tom and Jerry are lost in the woods”) or show the big problem. ● Finally, share your thoughts and feelings. Explain why you like the book. Did the book touch you? Was the writing interesting? What was your favorite part? Would you tell others to read it and who would like it? By focusing on these parts, your review will give useful information, hold attention, and encourage other readers just as great books do. How to 132 book reviews What for Book reviews 133 to help readers decide if a book attracts them. How long ● The 134 the book is, the more words the review should have. ● A good, well-length book review can both make ideas clear and hold readers’ 135 .

If it is too long, readers may lose their interest.”可知，如果书评太长，读者会失去兴趣。因此，恰当长度的书评能够保持读者的兴趣。interest表示“兴趣”，是不可数名词。 136． 根据How do you create a title?部分“The title of the review should clearly show your main feeling or opinion, instead of being meaningless.”可知，标题应避免无意义，因此填Avoid“避免”，首字母大写。 137．根据What should you write about?部分“Start with simple information: What kind of book is it?”可知，书评开头可以介绍书籍的类型、系列、读者群体或风格等。根据表格中“something like…, series...”，空处对应原文中的kind，表示“种类”。 138．根据What should you write about?部分“When talking about the story, give just enough to make readers curious.”可知，在讲述故事的时候，只要能引起读者的好奇心就行，透露太多故事内容会让读者感到无趣。feel bored“感到无聊”，故填入bored。 139．根据What should you write about?部分“Explain why you like the book.”以及“Would you tell others to read it”可知，要解释推荐这本书的理由。根据表格中“Explain your…for recommending”，表示解释推荐的理由，reason表示“原因、理由”，表示泛指应用复数形式reasons。 140．本题为开放性写作题，要求选一本喜欢的书写书评，不少于20词。需包含书名、内容简介及推荐理由。 （25-26八年级下·江苏南京·期末）根据短文内容，完成下面表格，在第1-8填入一个最恰当的单词，回答第9小题。注意第9小题字数不限。 Four Simple Ways to Better Your Writing Keep It Simple My first tip for improving your writing is: keep it simple.

What seems normal in one country might leave visitors confused in another. Let’s see some eating customs around the world. In Western countries, making noise while eating is considered rude. However, slurping (出声地吃) your noodles in Japan is encouraged! This is because slurping is considered a sign that you are really enjoying the meal. It also helps mix air with the noodles, making them taste better. So to a Japanese chef, the sound of your slurp is the best praise. In Russia, people believe that passing a salt shaker (盐瓶) directly from one person to another leads to an argument between them. Instead, salt should be placed on the table for the other person to pick up. While passing the salt at the dinner table, try not to spill it, or it could lead to an argument as well. If this happens, you should throw some spilled salt over your left shoulder and do it with a laugh. Then, everything should turn out just fine. In Italy, there’s an unwritten rule that cappuccino should only be consumed at breakfast. If you order one after 11 am, or after lunch or dinner, the waiter might be a little surprised. This is because Italians think that milk is hard to digest (消化) and believe drinking it late in the day can hurt your stomach. In India, it’s very common to eat with your hands. However, there is an important rule: you should only use your right hand. The left hand, considered unclean, must not be used for eating. For this reason, people in India often use bread like naan to scoop up their food. 1．Why do Japanese people slurp when eating noodles? A．To cool the noodles down. B．To show respect to the waiter. C．To show they enjoy the meal. D．To follow strict table manners. 2．Why must people avoid eating with their left hand in India? A．The left hand is used for drinking.

D．To show why table manners are important to travellers. （25-26八年级下·江苏南京·期末） I hoped to be set free one day, so I was nice to the Lilliputians. Gradually, ▲ Sometimes the children even played hide-and-seek in my hair. One day, the king said to me, “Gulliver, I invite you to watch an important performance. It is a contest called Rope Dancing”. In the contest, a thin rope was tied between two poles very high above the ground. People had to dance on this rope. Each dancer tried to jump higher than the others. I had never seen such a dangerous sport. “Your majesty,” I said, “many dancers must fall and be hurt or killed.” “Yes,” he replied. But I will give the best jobs in my kingdom to the men who are not afraid and jump the highest. “What a strange way to choose who will work for the country!” I thought. Then, as the king watched, I tied each corner of my handkerchief (手帕) to a strong stick, and pushed the four sticks into the ground. My handkerchief was now under the rope but above the ground. Any dancer who fell would land on the handkerchief and not get hurt. The king was very pleased with my invention. His family and many other people watched the rope dancing. “Would you and the queen like to see better?” I asked the king. I gently put them on my hand and held it beside the rope. They had a good view of the dancers. One very skilled performer held on to the rope and flipped (翻转) his body right over it. The king and the queen clapped loudly and cheered. Later the king told me that he made this man one of his chief (首要的) advisers. The king and I met often. He seemed to enjoy our conversations.

From strangers to your family and closest friends, there are many nice things we can say to them to bring a little kindness to the world. However, some people find it difficult to say something nice to others. Recently, the topic “Don’t feel ashamed to give praise” has gone popular on social media. People shared personal experiences when they felt too shy to say something nice about someone. They also expressed their worries: “What if others think my words are just flattery (奉承)?” “What if I praise someone and only get the cold shoulder?” Because of these fears, some choose to stay quiet, leaving kind words unsaid. This small habit seems harmless, but it can hide our true feelings. Little by little, we get used to keeping our praise, care and kindness deep inside. Over time, it can change our relationships and even reduce our own sense of happiness. As a result, we may start to feel distant from others. In fact, saying something nice doesn’t mean we are trying to please others against our will. Instead, it shows we pay attention to the strengths and efforts of those around us, and we value and respect them. A simple and sincere praise can warm someone’s heart, reduce misunderstandings (误会) and bring people together. So next time you see your friend wearing a beautiful coat, why not give him sincere praise? For example, you can focus on details like “This colour looks great on you!” or “You really have good taste in music!” These kind words not only make your friend happy but also create a pleasant feeling between you. Kind words cost nothing, but they can mean everything. 8．Why do some people find it hard to praise others? A．Because they like to keep their praise inside. B．Because they think kind words cost too much. C．Because they may praise others against their wishes. D．Because they worry others will not like their words. 9．What does the phrase “cold shoulder” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．A polite and warm welcome. B．A shy and quiet conversation. C．A silent and unfriendly reply. D．A cold and dishonest manner. 10．The writer mentions “This colour looks great on you” as an example to show that ________. A．praise about clothing is always the perfect choice B．a simple and detailed praise can build a good relationship C．a simple praise can sometimes reduce misunderstandings D．friends usually care more about their appearance than other things 11．What would be the best title of the passage? A．The Secret to True Happiness B．Why We Should Not Praise Others C．The Power of a Sincere Praise D．How to Avoid Misunderstandings 12．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To explain why some people are afraid of giving praise. B．To encourage readers to express sincere praise to others. C．To tell readers how to tell flattery from true praise.

It falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, when the moon is believed to be the fullest and brightest. The festival has a long history. One of the most famous legends about it is the story of Chang’e. According to the legend, Chang’e was the wife of Hou Yi, a brave archer. Hou Yi shot down nine suns to save people from the hot weather. As a reward, he got a magic pill that could make people live forever. Hou Yi didn’t want to leave Chang’e, so he kept the pill at home. However, a bad man tried to steal the pill. To protect it, Chang’e took the pill and flew to the moon. Since then, people have celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival by admiring the moon, hoping to see Chang’e on the moon. Today, Mid-Autumn Festival is still a time for family reunion. People usually go back home to have dinner with their families. The most popular food during the festival is mooncakes—round pastries filled with sweet fillings like lotus seed paste or red bean paste. Some mooncakes also have salted egg yolks in them, which represent the full moon. In recent years, people have started to celebrate the festival in new ways. For example, some cities hold moon-viewing parties in parks, and others organize traditional dance performances.

But I forgot the maps and here we were, late afternoon, last day of vacation, my daughter, my cousin and I, driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon. No other car in sight, and the sun had just gone down. Where was that sweet little village? It should be right along this river. We drove on, farther into the unknown, river always at left as our guide. We kept passing farms and fields and now a few lights were coming out. In my head, I was doing a lot of self-criticisms (自我批评): Why didn’t we start earlier, bring the map and on and on? My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed. My daughter, at least, was happy in the back seat, text messaging a friend. I pulled up on the shoulder of the road to think. Just then—WOW! Amazing! A new scene had appeared. Where did it come from? Right there, out of nowhere, a magical misty landscape. Fields stretched in silent purples, with rows of tall trees, darkening in the dusk (黄昏). I turned the car engine off. All was silent in the hot summer air. Beside us, a plum-colored river hardly moved between a border of trees, its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day. How breathtaking! Where had it been? If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along, I could have stopped and taken a look. I had missed it all. We miss a lot, almost every thing, in fact, in our world. Our task-focused filters (过滤器) take care of that, choose only what we need. We need to get to work. Have some lunch. We see what we need to see, often for purposes of survival. Gregory Bateson, speaking of beauty, said the judgment is selection of a fact. In our daily lives, who or what is doing the selecting? Can we make a change? Can we see further? 16．Which of the following might be the destination (目的地) of the author’s driving? A．A vacation spot. B．Her own home. C．A tourist centre.

D．Slow down your paces to enjoy beauty in life. （25-26九年级上·江苏南京·开学考试）Differences Between Chinese and Western Festivals Festivals are an important part of every culture. But Chinese and Western festivals have many differences, especially in their origins and ways of celebration. First, the origins are different. Most traditional Chinese festivals are related to agriculture (农业) or legends. For example, Spring Festival comes from the tradition of “driving away the monster Nian”, and Dragon Boat Festival is to remember Qu Yuan. Western festivals, however, are often linked to religion (宗教) or history. Christmas, for example, celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, and Thanksgiving is to thank God for a good harvest. Second, the ways of celebration are different. Chinese festivals focus on family reunion. During Spring Festival, people go back home to have dinner with their families, give red envelopes (压岁钱) to children and paste Spring Festival couplets (春联). Mid-Autumn Festival is also a time for family members to get together and admire the moon. Western festivals, on the other hand, are more about social activities. For example, on Christmas, people exchange gifts with friends and family, but they also hold parties with classmates or colleagues. On Halloween, children go trick-or-treating in their neighborhoods, and adults often attend costume parties. Finally, the food during festivals is different. Chinese festival food has special meanings. Mooncakes represent reunion, and dumplings during Spring Festival symbolize wealth. Western festival food is more about taste—like Christmas turkeys and pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving. Despite these differences, both Chinese and Western festivals share the same purpose: to bring people happiness and strengthen relationships. 20．What is Spring Festival related to, according to the passage? A．The birth of Jesus Christ. B．The tradition of driving away Nian. C．Thanking God for a good harvest. D．Remembering Qu Yuan. 21．Which Western festival is to thank God for a good harvest? A．Christmas. B．Halloween. C．Thanksgiving. D．Easter. 22．What do dumplings during Spring Festival symbolize? A．Reunion. B．Wealth. C．Happiness. D．Health. 23．What is the common purpose of Chinese and Western festivals? A．To celebrate good harvests. B．To remember famous people. C．To bring happiness and strengthen relationships. D．To spread religious beliefs. 24．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The origins of Chinese traditional festivals. B．How Western festivals are celebrated. C．Differences between Chinese and Western festivals. D．The importance of festivals in different cultures. 二、完形填空 （25-26八年级下·江苏南京·期末） Alex was excited to visit his cousin Lucas in Brazil.

Teachers there a 90 to help every student learn in their own way, and students are encouraged to express themselves o 91 and respectfully. One common problem for children with dyslexia is that they often have a hard time reading. Luckily, students here can make clear p 92 in pronunciation with special teaching methods. They might, for example, mix up letters like “b” and “p”, or even numbers like “9”. Rare Gem is one of the few schools in Kenya where such children can get the help they need. One student told AP News that at his old school, his teacher didn’t understand him. “This school is much better. The support here has g 93 changed my life.” So how does it work? Students take part in activities such as linking letter sounds to colors, learning spelling patterns through songs and u 94 objects to stand for words. Dorothy Kioko said that as a teacher, she cannot just stand in front of students and give lessons. “You teach step by step u 95 the learner gets what you’ re teaching,” she said. Teachers here are r 96 to be patient and creative to meet the students’ needs. Rare Gem was set up in 2012. When it first opened, there were fewer than 10 students. Today, the school has around 210. Phyllis Munyi, who f 97 the school, said that if these challenges are identified (发现) early, students can “improve their skills and learn to identify their talents”. Many people offer v 98 help here, and some students even join the school’s service projects for the b 99 of new learners. But getting them into education early is not easy. Geoffrey Karani, a former student at Rare Gem, is an art teacher at the school today. “I’m not only teaching; I’m showing kids that I’ve been on the same journey,” he said. （25-26八年级下·江苏南京·期末）根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 There is going to be a talk on visiting manners.

It usually comes in January or February. Before the festival, people are busy p 110 for it. They clean their houses to “sweep away bad luck” and decorate them with red things—red lanterns, red couplets and red paper cuttings. Red is a lucky color in Chinese culture. On New Year’s Eve, family members get t 111 for a big dinner. The dinner usually includes dumplings, fish and chicken. Dumplings look like gold ingots (元宝), so they symbolize wealth. Fish represents “surplus” (盈余) because the Chinese word for “fish” sounds like the word for “surplus”. After dinner, people watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV or play card games. Many people stay up late to welcome the new year—this is called “shousui”. On New Year’s Day, people wear new clothes and visit relatives and friends. They say “Happy New Year” to each other and give red e 112 to children. The red envelopes have money inside, which is called “ya sui qian”.

Serious losses of food happen from farmers’ fields to customers’ fridges. What’s worse, pollution and natural disasters may cause food shortage. In developing countries, forty percent of food waste happens during harvesting and processing (加工). They are also short of rapid transportation and refrigeration (冷藏), so a large number of crops may go bad before they reach the market. Many farmers don’t have enough money for industrial-sized fridges to keep their products in good conditions. Food waste is also discovered in developed countries. More than forty percent of food waste happens during the process of selling and buying. Shockingly, this amount reaches near the yearly food production in some parts of Africa. In many cases, the vegetables and fruit are thrown away if they look “ugly”, falling short of industry standards. Polluting and destroying the environment do harm to producing food. A few countries are reducing nature areas for growing food crops and raising livestock (牲畜). Most surprisingly, in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest, 800 million trees in the past six years have been cut down to make beef cattle farms. Also, fish farmers still create a great deal of pollution as well as diseases. At present, it seems that food production doesn’t reduce, but it may influence all the living things on the earth in the future. Natural disasters like droughts and storms can destroy a whole year’s crop for an unlucky farmer. Climate change will make such events that were previously thought of as “once in a hundred years” happen more and more often. This means that we’ll need more resources to produce the same amount of food. Food waste is harmful to humans, as well as other life on the earth. It’s not only the problem on customers’ dinner table, but also an international problem that must be dealt with by the governments. Food problems · Food is lost 122 from fields to fridges. · Food shortage is caused by pollution and natural disasters. 123 about food waste in different countries * In developing countries · Some farmers are poor all that time because of the food waste. · Crops may go bad because they can’t be transported rapidly. · Few farmers can 124 industrial-sized fridges to keep their products in good conditions. * In developed countries · In the process of selling and buying, 125 40% of food waste happens. · People throw the vegetables and fruit away 126 they look nice and meet standards.

A good way to do this is to write a book review. Unlike a book report, a book review does not just tell what the book is about. It also helps readers decide whether the book is worth reading. This article will give you an idea of what a book review should be like. How long should it be? There is no exact answer for the length (长度) of a book review. Usually, a review for a short book may be about 100 words, while a review for a long book may be 500 words or even more. However, length is not the most important thing—what matters is giving enough useful ideas without telling too much of the story. If a review is too short, it may not help readers. If it is too long, readers may lose their interest. How do you create a title? The title of the review should clearly show your main feeling or opinion, instead of being meaningless. Good titles include examples like “Full of action and interesting characters”, while weak titles may look like “Really good book”. What should you write about? ● Start with simple information: What kind of book is it? Is it part of a series? Who is it for? Is the style formal or informal? ● Although many reviews begin with a short summary, you can also try other ways if you are creative enough. ● When talking about the story, give just enough to make readers curious. Set up the main situation (“Tom and Jerry are lost in the woods”) or show the big problem. ● Finally, share your thoughts and feelings. Explain why you like the book. Did the book touch you? Was the writing interesting? What was your favorite part? Would you tell others to read it and who would like it? By focusing on these parts, your review will give useful information, hold attention, and encourage other readers just as great books do. How to 132 book reviews What for Book reviews 133 to help readers decide if a book attracts them. How long ● The 134 the book is, the more words the review should have. ● A good, well-length book review can both make ideas clear and hold readers’ 135 . How to create a title ● Show your main feeling. ● 136 making it meaningless. What to write about ● Start with something like 137 , series, readers, or styles. ● Be creative and feel free to try other ways. ● Share just enough of the story, or the readers will feel 138 . ● Explain your 139 for recommending the book.

Now, I know it’s better to keep things simple and do it well, rather than over-complicate (使过分复杂) everything and do it badly. So, in English writing exams, you want to show off your English, but you want to show off your right English, not all this English that you don’t know or haven’t learnt yet. Have a Collection of Set Phrases (固定搭配) In order not to make mistakes, it’s a really, really good idea to have a collection of set phrases and key words that you can use in the exam. Make sure that you have different ways to… Compare: in the same way, at the same time Give your opinion: from my point of view, in my view Add information: in addition, besides …… So, that’s just a very brief list showing you exactly what you need to study to be fully prepared for any English writing exam.

Thus, you can increase the quality of your writing. Check Your Work Tip number four. Students will make some stupid mistakes when they’re writing.

I personally think it’s much better if you write less and check more. Fewer words, higher accuracy (准确率). Then you will make your writing better. Four Simple Ways to Better Your Writing Keep it simple ● Keep things simple and do it well 141 of over-complicating everything and doing it badly. ● Show off your English by presenting right English but not the English 142 to you or not learnt. 143 Set Phrases ● Have a collection of set phrases and key words to 144 making mistakes. ● Make sure that you have different ways to express your idea, such as in addition, besides to add information. ● List what you need to study to be fully 145 for writing exams.

I couldn’t remember new words and was afraid to speak in class. My English teacher, Mr. Wang, noticed my problem and gave me some advice. First, Mr. Wang told me to make flashcards for new words. “Write the English word on one side and the Chinese meaning on the other,” he said. “Review them for 10 minutes every morning and evening.” I followed his advice. After a month, I could remember more words than before. Second, he suggested I join the school English corner. At first, I was too shy to talk. But when I saw other students speaking confidently, I tried to join them. I started with simple sentences like “What’s your favorite subject?” Slowly, I became more confident and my spoken English improved a lot. Third, Mr. Wang asked me to keep an English diary. “Write about your day, even if it’s short,” he said. I wrote about my homework, my hobbies and even my feelings. This helped me practice writing and express my ideas in English. Now, I’m in Grade 9. My English grade has improved from C to A．Last month, I even won the first prize in the school English speech contest. I’m very proud of myself.

The survey found children as young as eight were interested in news. However, the spread of wrong information makes it difficult for children to understand events. The survey also found only one-third of young people felt they could tell whether news they read was real or not. Here are what adults can do to help children critically (批判地) think about the news. To help decide if a source can be trusted, they can ask the following questions. Is it clear who created this news? Viewers need to be able to ask the person or organization about why and how they created the story? Does it present facts straight or does it include opinions? If opinions are presented as facts, this may lead to wrong ideas. Does it include all the important people? If a story speaks up for organizations or groups of people, they should have the chance to reply to these opinions. Some media may make use of people’s feelings. Discussing how children feel about news helps them decide which news programs to watch. Research shows sensationalist (耸人听闻的) news titles can receive more clicks online. Adults can also talk to children why people spread wrong information, such as changing people’s mind on who to vote for or attracting more clicks. News media talk about events in different ways. Parents and teachers can help children be careful while reading stories. In some stories people can’t present their ideas honestly. In these cases, it’s best to find other news sources to consider how they are reporting the story. Discussing what children think of the news can help build their critical thinking skills. News that can be trusted is important to societies. People depend on it to help make decisions in lives.
