三、阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
In Western countries, some people think the number 13 brings bad luck. In the past, a lot of tall buildings didn’t even have a 13th floor. However, there aren’t really any other numbers that are special in this way in the West.
There are superstitions (迷信) about some numbers in China as well. For example, the number “4” is said to be unlucky because it sounds like the Chinese word for “death”. But that’s just one small example of China’s obsession (迷恋) with numbers.
When I first came here, I was surprised to see that many websites had numbers in their names instead of letters. Because Chinese characters (文字) cannot be used for website addresses. They can only use numbers or the letters of the Roman alphabet.
In pinyin, the telecom company China Unicom is called Zhongguo Liantong. If the company used their pinyin name for their website address, it would be quite long. So instead, they use their customer service hotline number —10010. com. This is easier to type and remember.
In addition, the pronunciations (发音) of some numbers sound similar to other words in Chinese. This makes for some clever wordplay. For example, the numbers “5-2-0” in Chinese sound similar to the pronunciation of the Chinese phrase “I love you”. Many couples choose to get married on May 20 for this reason.
It is interesting to see how Chinese people have used numbers in so many different ways. “88” for now!
1.Which number do some people in Western countries think is unlucky?
A.2. B.4. C.5. D.13.
2.What surprised the writer when he came to China?
A.4 is an unlucky number in China.
B.China regards 13 as an unlucky number.
C.Some tall buildings don’t have a 13th floor in China.
D.China uses numbers in website addresses.
3.What’s the website address of the telecom company China Unicom in the passage?
A.Zhongguoliantong. com. B.TCCU. com.
C.10010.com. D.TelecomChina. com.
4.Why do many couples in China choose to get married on May 20?
A.Because the weather is usually good on that day.
B.Because it always falls on a weekend.
C.Because 5, 2 and 0 are all lucky numbers in China.
D.Because its Chinese pronunciation is similar to “I love you”.
5.What’s the best title of this passage?
A.China loves numbers B.The special numbers in West
C.Lucky number in China D.Lucky number in Western countries

五、阅读回答问题
Nowadays, many Grade Nine students feel stressed about their schoolwork. They stay up late to finish homework but get little progress. Here are several practical ways to improve study efficiency.
First, make a daily study plan before bed. Write down all tasks and divide them into small parts. Finishing small goals brings you confidence and stops you from putting things off. Second, take a 10-minute break every forty minutes. Our brains can’t focus for too long. Short rest helps you keep clear minds for study. Third, review what you’ve learned on the same day. It takes less time to remember knowledge at once than cramming before exams. Last but not least, ask teachers or classmates for help in time. Don’t leave difficult problems unsolved for days.
These simple habits do not need much time, but they make a big difference to your grades. If you keep following them every day, you will feel less worried and make steady progress soon.
根据短文内容,回答下列问题,每题答案不超过6个词。
1. How do many Grade Nine students feel about schoolwork?
2. When should students make their daily study plan?
3. How long should students rest every forty minutes?
4. When had students better review new knowledge?
5. Who can students turn to for difficult problems?
