Besides, the way you manage housework can also show what type of person you are. According to a website, there are two groups based on dish washing habits—those who wash the dishes right away and those who allow the dishes to pile up. The two groups have different personalities and processes for managing tasks. Anita Chlipala, a family therapist, says that people who wash dishes right away value order and cleanliness. They feel relaxed and peaceful in a clean home. Some of them might have grown up in a family where they had to wash the dishes before relaxing. Different from them, dish-pilers might choose to relax first. They may think other matters are more important than housework. And they might simply prefer efficiency. Piling up dishes allows them to wash all of them at once. However, letting dishes pile up can make the kitchen messy. It’s not tidy and healthy. To avoid this, dish-pilers should do a quick clean-up daily and a deeper one weekly. At the end of the day, there’s no “right” way to deal with dirty dishes. What’s important is to find what works best for you and your family. Whether you wash them right away or save them for a satisfying clean-up moment, communicating with the ones you live with is necessary. It can help keep your relationships from becoming worse. 1．What groups are mentioned in the second paragraph? 2．How do people who wash dishes right away feel in a clean home? 3．What might dish-pilers choose to do first? 4．How can dish-pilers avoid making the kitchen messy? 5．Why is it necessary to communicate with the ones you live with? Passage2 （26-27九年级上·全国·单元测试）阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。 In the city center, firefighters quickly get ready when they hear the alarm. Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside. One wrong decision might mean death. Who would do a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. One month ago, he signed up for the job. He used to sit in an office of a software company, but now he is trained to break into rooms full of smoke and heat and come up with a rescue strategy. “I wanted a job where I could be active, work with my hands, learn new practical skills, and face different challenges every day.” That’s quite an understatement (保守说法) to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while fighting against a fire. But Telfer says that flames (火焰) and nerves can be controlled in the same way: through continuous physical and mental training. Telfer was a runner in college, but now he trains his lungs for dangerous situations instead of races. He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks. He also needs to carry unconscious people to safety. No matter what he’s doing, he has to control his breathing. Panic (恐慌) will only waste his limited air supply. His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental preparation too. When they are not dealing with emergencies, they study many subjects like emergency medicine, the structural design, and chemical reactions. They practise quickly assessing (评估) the changing conditions of a fire. Shifting from a software expert to a first responder was a big change for Telfer. But he says, “I have never once felt that this isn’t the right job for me.” Even though danger might be waiting every day, his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the middle of a fierce fire. 1．When did Sam Telfer become a firefighter? 2．Where did Telfer work before becoming a firefighter? 3．What physical training does a firefighter take? Give an example. 4．How can firefighters survive a big fire? 5．Does Sam Telfer love the job as a firefighter? Give your reason. Passage3 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 Choosing a career (事业) is a big choice, but it doesn’t have to be scary. Some people already know what they want to do, while others need more time. The key is to find work that matches your interests and skills—you’ll be happier doing what you love. Think about what excites you most. Do you like solving problems and working with numbers? You might want to work in technology or engineering. If you are willing to help people, try fields like healthcare or teaching. However, it’s not only about what you like—your skills matter too. Are you great at talking to people and understanding their needs? Or are you better at solving puzzles and using technology? Some people are amazing at maths and science, while others are born with creativity and communication. You don’t just want a job you’re good at. You also want one that you enjoy. When you join love and skills together, your work becomes less of a “job” and more of something you really enjoy. Moreover, when you love what you do, it’s easier to feel happier at the end of the day. But it’s also important to think about the job market and chances. If you live in a place full of technology companies, jobs in programming or engineering may be more suitable. One more thing: your career path isn’t set in stone. People change careers all the time! It’s okay if you start one job and then decide you want to try something new. What’s important is to keep learning and growing along the way. 1．According to the passage, what is the key to finding a satisfying job? 2．If Mike likes solving problems and working with numbers, what work might he do? 3．What does the underlined phrase “set in stone” in Paragraph 4 mean? 4．No matter what job you do, what is important in the writer’s mind? 5．What do you want to be? Why do you think you can do it well? Passage4 （25-26九年级上·江苏扬州·阶段检测）阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。（每题答案不超过10个词） For more than 30 years, Zhu Yanjun, 50, had been a migrant worker (农民工) in different cities like many others from rural (农村的) areas. But what made him different was his strong love for reading poetry (诗) and books. In early February, Zhu made headlines by winning a silver medal (银牌) in the yearly Chinese Poetry Competition hosted by China Central Television. Born in a village in Jingning county Gansu province, Zhu only had a middle school education. His love for reading was encouraged by his Chinese language teacher who has published (发表) many articles in magazines. “I also wanted to publish stories, so started to read, and borrowed books from friends and classmates,” he told China Daily. Although Zhu later regretted putting an early end to his schooling, he did not stop his poetic journey. He worked at different construction sites (建筑工地) in more than 10 cities. Whenever he arrives in a city, he first visits the bookstores and libraries there. He would take a notebook with him in order to write down paragraphs from the books and recite (背诵) them. He started reading poems from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and poems written by Chairman Mao Zedong because he found them rhythmic (有韵律的) and easy to remember. Over the years, he has read thousands of poems and can recite more than 1,000 of them. Reading poetry helps Zhu stay calm and he never complains (抱怨) about hard work. “Whenever I face any difficulty, I think of Chairman Mao’s quotation (语录) : Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it’,” he told China Daily. Under his influence, Zhu’s children became interested in poetry and were accepted into universities in different cities. “I hope I can help people around me appreciate (欣赏) the charm of Chinese poetry,” Zhu said. 1．What made Zhu Yanjun different? 2．Who encouraged Zhu Yanjun to love reading? 3．What was the first thing Zhu Yanjun did when he came to a city? 4．How many cities did Zhu Yanjun work in? 5．According to the passage, what do you think of Zhu Yanjun? 培优拔高·挑战攻坚 Passage 1 （22-23九年级上·江苏盐城·期中）Scientists find that hard-working people can live longer than idle (不工作的) people. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holder. A report shows that whenever the unemployment rate (失业率) increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point: Work is helpful to our health. Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel not only unhappy but also worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work, people come into contact with each other. If people take part in some activities, they can find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work sometimes means the loss of everything. It affects man in spirit and makes him easy to get ill. Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment (充实感). Work makes one feel his value in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words. From the above we can know that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．Who can live longer, hard-working people or idle people? 2．What does the writer want to tell us in the first paragraph? 3．How do people feel when they don’t have anything to do? 4．How can we find friendship and warmth in our daily life? 5．What do you think hard work can bring us?

Passage10 （25-26九年级上·江苏盐城·阶段检测）A person who writes music is known as a composer. A composer thinks of a musical idea and writes it on paper for others to read. Instead of writing words, a composer uses musical notation (记号). Other people can read the notes and play them. When they do, they’re playing music that came from the composer’s imagination. Beethoven was a famous German composer. He was born in 1770 in Bonn and began learning the piano when he was only four. He also learned to play the violin. Beethoven visited Vienna, which was a very musical city, in 1787.Two other famous composers lived in Vienna at that time. Wolfgang Mozart and Joseph Haydn met Beethoven and gave his music high praise. Beethoven made friends in Vienna and returned there in 1792.He studied music with Haydn and lived in Vienna for the rest of his life. Beethoven was known as a great pianist, but he wanted to compose his own music. He always seemed to have musical ideas in his head. His notebooks show how hard he worked to get the music just right. He often wrote and then revised his music by scratching it out (勾划), so it is possible for us to see how he was thinking about the music. During the late 1790s, Beethoven began to lose his hearing. At first it was difficult for him to hear people and talk with them. Even when he became completely deaf, he did not stop creating music, however. He heard music in his mind even though he couldn’t hear it with his ears. Most people have heard of Beethoven’s Symphony (交响乐) No.5, but they may not know he wrote it when he was growing deaf. A symphony is a long piece of music for orchestra (交响乐团). Symphony No.5 starts like this: ta-ta-ta-TUM. Beethoven used this pattern over and over in his symphony. Try saying it aloud two times: ta-ta-ta-TUM, ta-ta-ta-TUM. 1．When did Beethoven start learning music? 2．Which city influenced Beethoven most in his musical career? 3．What is Beethoven known as? 4．During the late 1790s,what difficulty did Beethoven face? 5．Why did Beethoven make greater achievements after losing his hearing?

When Legree asked why, she replied, “I can’t sleep.” “Why not?” “Oh nothing! Just the noises in the attic, from midnight until morning.” “Noises?” said Legree, apprehensive, “Who is up there?” “I don’t know.” Cassy said and went away. Then she put things in the attic that made strange noises when the wind blew. The slaves heard and started talking about ghosts, daring not to get close to the attic.

Legree hit and kicked Tom again and again until he thought Tom was dead. Then he left. But Tom was not dead. Legree’s helpers Sambo and Quimbo felt sorry and tried to help him. Cassy and Emmeline stayed in the attic for days. Then one night they escaped again without being followed. They were free! Two days later, Tom’s first master, Mr. Shelby came and finally met Tom.

Passage 12 （25-26九年级上·北京东城·期末）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Growing up, Anna Brooks often received letters. Her mother used to write her letters. So, when she found herself feeling disconnected while living in a big city, Anna decided to mirror her mother’s habit of writing letters—but it happened in a way she had never expected. “To get through the difficult time, I began writing letters to people I saw around the city,” explains Anna, founder of warmletters.com. “That small act grew into something much bigger: I shared the story online and invited others to ask for letters if they needed encouragement. Over nine months, I wrote more than 400 letters to strangers all across the world.” Today, fewer people write letters because technology such as texting, video calls, and emails is often considered more efficient (高效的). But Anna points out that the care and thought behind letters make them especially meaningful. “A handwritten letter symbolizes something you can touch in a digital world. It means that someone cleared space, took time, and was fully present to show up for someone else.” So what makes letter-writing so magical? Psychotherapist (心理治疗师) Ellie Rowland says, “The short-form nature of texts and DMs (direct messages) can make it hard to understand the nuances (细微含义) of what the other person is saying. Letter writing provides you with time and space to choose what you want to say. It can also lead to lower stress and more self-awareness.” Warmletters.com allows you to connect with people you’ve never met. Every month, several lucky people are chosen to receive handwritten letters of hope and encouragement. They are often people in need of support, such as someone caring for a sick family member or a person who has lost their home in a fire. Writing to a stranger can bring hope for the sender as well as the receiver. “Turning your focus from your own worries to helping someone else is what makes the greatest difference,” Anna shares. “Every time I sat down to write a letter, I stepped away from my heavy, dark feelings, and poured light, love, and encouragement into someone else’s day.” 1．What habit did Anna learn from her mother? 2．Why do fewer people write letters today? 3．What kind of people can receive letters from warmletters.com? 4．Would you like to be a letter writer like Anna? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.) Passage13 （25-26九年级上·北京东城·期中） Goodall Lives On What makes humans special? For a long time, people believed humans were different from all animals. They thought only humans could make tools and have real conversations. Then came Jane Goodall. As a child, Jane loved watching animals in her garden. She would sit for hours observing (观察) how birds built nests and squirrels collected food. This early love for nature stayed with her. At the age of 23, she went to Africa for the first time to realize her dream. Though she never went to university, she learnt much about animals from books. With help from scientist Louis Leakey, Jane began studying chimpanzees (黑猩猩) in Gombe forest. Her study method was different from that of other scientists—she gave the chimpanzees names like David Greybeard and Flo, treating them as individuals (个体). For months, the chimpanzees ran away when they saw her. But Jane stayed patient, watching from a distance (距离) every day. Jane’s patience brought amazing discoveries. She discovered that humans aren’t the only animals who use tools. She saw David Greybeard use a grass stem to catch termites (白蚁)—the first proof that animals could make and use tools. She also discovered that chimpanzees feel emotions and have families, having seen them hug when sad, hold hands, or have their mothers teach them to find food. Later Jane realized that studying animals wasn’t enough to protect them. She saw forests getting smaller and chimpanzees becoming fewer. So she started traveling worldwide, speaking to governments, schools, and communities. She told everyone that we must protect forests and the animals living in them. In 1991, Jane created Roots & Shoots to help young people make a difference. Students in this program clean up parks, plant trees, and help animals in their communities. One group in Tanzania built a safe place for birds. Another in Canada raised money to protect bear habitats (栖息地). Though Jane passed away recently, her work continues. She taught us that every person—including you and me—can help make our world better. As she often said: “Every day, each of us can make a difference.” 1．When did Jane go to Africa for the first time? 2．How was Jane’s way of studying chimpanzees different from that of other scientists? 3．What were Jane’s discoveries about chimpanzees? 4．Why do people see Jane Goodall as a great scientist? Please list two reasons based on the passage.

Besides, the way you manage housework can also show what type of person you are. According to a website, there are two groups based on dish washing habits—those who wash the dishes right away and those who allow the dishes to pile up. The two groups have different personalities and processes for managing tasks. Anita Chlipala, a family therapist, says that people who wash dishes right away value order and cleanliness. They feel relaxed and peaceful in a clean home. Some of them might have grown up in a family where they had to wash the dishes before relaxing. Different from them, dish-pilers might choose to relax first. They may think other matters are more important than housework. And they might simply prefer efficiency. Piling up dishes allows them to wash all of them at once. However, letting dishes pile up can make the kitchen messy. It’s not tidy and healthy. To avoid this, dish-pilers should do a quick clean-up daily and a deeper one weekly. At the end of the day, there’s no “right” way to deal with dirty dishes. What’s important is to find what works best for you and your family. Whether you wash them right away or save them for a satisfying clean-up moment, communicating with the ones you live with is necessary. It can help keep your relationships from becoming worse. 1．What groups are mentioned in the second paragraph? 2．How do people who wash dishes right away feel in a clean home? 3．What might dish-pilers choose to do first? 4．How can dish-pilers avoid making the kitchen messy? 5．Why is it necessary to communicate with the ones you live with? 【答案】1．People who wash dishes right away and those who let dishes pile up. 2．They feel relaxed and peaceful. 3．They might choose to relax first. 4．They should do a quick clean-up every day and a deeper clean-up every week. 5．Because it can stop their relationships from getting worse. 【导语】本文主要介绍了人们处理碗碟习惯的不同，反映了不同的性格类型，并强调了沟通的重要性。 【详解】1．根据第二段“According to a website, there are two groups based on dish washing habits—those who wash the dishes right away and those who allow the dishes to pile up.”可知，提到的是“立即洗碗的人”和“让碗碟堆积的人”这两组。因此答案是原文直接信息。 2．根据第三段“people who wash dishes right away value order and cleanliness. They feel relaxed and peaceful in a clean home.”可知，他们在一个干净的家中会感到放松和平静。这是原文中的具体表述，直接提取。 3．根据第四段“Different from them, dish-pilers might choose to relax first.”可知，堆碗碟的人可能会选择先放松。答案来自原文直接信息。 4．根据第五段“To avoid this, dish-pilers should do a quick clean-up daily and a deeper one weekly.”可知，他们应该每天做一次快速清洁，每周做一次深度清洁。这是原文中的建议，直接提取。 5．根据最后一段“communicating with the ones you live with is necessary. It can help keep your relationships from becoming worse.”可知，沟通是必要的，因为它能防止关系恶化。答案可直接从原文中获得。 Passage2 （26-27九年级上·全国·单元测试）阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。 In the city center, firefighters quickly get ready when they hear the alarm. Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside. One wrong decision might mean death. Who would do a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. One month ago, he signed up for the job. He used to sit in an office of a software company, but now he is trained to break into rooms full of smoke and heat and come up with a rescue strategy. “I wanted a job where I could be active, work with my hands, learn new practical skills, and face different challenges every day.” That’s quite an understatement (保守说法) to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while fighting against a fire. But Telfer says that flames (火焰) and nerves can be controlled in the same way: through continuous physical and mental training. Telfer was a runner in college, but now he trains his lungs for dangerous situations instead of races. He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks. He also needs to carry unconscious people to safety. No matter what he’s doing, he has to control his breathing. Panic (恐慌) will only waste his limited air supply. His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental preparation too. When they are not dealing with emergencies, they study many subjects like emergency medicine, the structural design, and chemical reactions. They practise quickly assessing (评估) the changing conditions of a fire. Shifting from a software expert to a first responder was a big change for Telfer. But he says, “I have never once felt that this isn’t the right job for me.” Even though danger might be waiting every day, his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the middle of a fierce fire. 1．When did Sam Telfer become a firefighter? 2．Where did Telfer work before becoming a firefighter? 3．What physical training does a firefighter take? Give an example. 4．How can firefighters survive a big fire? 5．Does Sam Telfer love the job as a firefighter? Give your reason. 【答案】1．Telfer became a firefighter one month ago. 2．He worked in a software company. 3．A firefighter has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks. 4．They need to be physically fit and mentally prepared. 5．Yes, he does. Because in this job, he can be active, work with his hands, learn new practical skills and face different challenges every day. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Sam Telfer从软件公司职员转行成为消防员的经历，同时介绍消防员岗位需要持续的体能与心理双重训练。 【详解】1．第二段明确指出“One month ago, he signed up for the job”，因此答案是原文直接信息。 2．第二段直接描述他从前的工作内容“He used to sit in an office of a software company”，答案几乎是原文引述。 3．第四段明确写出消防员体能训练实例“He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks”，答案是原文直接信息。 4．第五段表明“His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental preparation too”，答案将这两点整合为“They need to be physically fit and mentally prepared.”。 5．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，但观点需基于文中事实。结合文章第三段他求职初衷、末段他认可这份工作的内容，结合自己对消防员职业的看法、理由，合理作答即可。 Passage3 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 Choosing a career (事业) is a big choice, but it doesn’t have to be scary. Some people already know what they want to do, while others need more time. The key is to find work that matches your interests and skills—you’ll be happier doing what you love. Think about what excites you most. Do you like solving problems and working with numbers? You might want to work in technology or engineering. If you are willing to help people, try fields like healthcare or teaching. However, it’s not only about what you like—your skills matter too. Are you great at talking to people and understanding their needs? Or are you better at solving puzzles and using technology? Some people are amazing at maths and science, while others are born with creativity and communication. You don’t just want a job you’re good at. You also want one that you enjoy. When you join love and skills together, your work becomes less of a “job” and more of something you really enjoy. Moreover, when you love what you do, it’s easier to feel happier at the end of the day. But it’s also important to think about the job market and chances. If you live in a place full of technology companies, jobs in programming or engineering may be more suitable. One more thing: your career path isn’t set in stone. People change careers all the time! It’s okay if you start one job and then decide you want to try something new. What’s important is to keep learning and growing along the way. 1．According to the passage, what is the key to finding a satisfying job? 2．If Mike likes solving problems and working with numbers, what work might he do? 3．What does the underlined phrase “set in stone” in Paragraph 4 mean? 4．No matter what job you do, what is important in the writer’s mind? 5．What do you want to be? Why do you think you can do it well? 【答案】1．The key is to find work that matches your interests and skills. 2．He might be an engineer/a computer programmer./He might work in technology or engineering. 3．It means unchanged/keeping the same./People don’t change careers all the time. 4．It is important to keep learning and growing along the way. 5．I want to be a teacher, because I am good with kids, and I like to help others. 【导语】本文主要讲述了职业选择的相关建议，包括选择职业需结合兴趣与技能、考虑就业市场，同时说明职业道路并非固定不变等内容。 【详解】1．根据“The key is to find work that matches your interests and skills—you’ll be happier doing what you love.”可知，关键是找到匹配你兴趣和技能的工作。故填The key is to find work that matches your interests and skills. 2．根据“Do you like solving problems and working with numbers? You might want to work in technology or engineering.”可知，喜欢解决问题和与数字打交道，可能是从事技术或工程领域的工作。故填He might be an engineer/a computer programmer./He might work in technology or engineering. 3．根据“People change careers all the time!”可知，人们一直都在更换职业！因此你的职业路径并不是固定不变的，划线单词表示“固定不变，一直不更换职业”。故填It means unchanged/keeping the same./People don’t change careers all the time. 4．根据“What’s important is to keep learning and growing along the way.”可知，重要的是在这个过程中持续学习和成长。故填It is important to keep learning and growing along the way. 5．本题是开放性试题，答案言之有理即可，参考答案为I want to be a teacher, because I am good with kids, and I like to help others.

But what made him different was his strong love for reading poetry (诗) and books. In early February, Zhu made headlines by winning a silver medal (银牌) in the yearly Chinese Poetry Competition hosted by China Central Television. Born in a village in Jingning county Gansu province, Zhu only had a middle school education. His love for reading was encouraged by his Chinese language teacher who has published (发表) many articles in magazines. “I also wanted to publish stories, so started to read, and borrowed books from friends and classmates,” he told China Daily. Although Zhu later regretted putting an early end to his schooling, he did not stop his poetic journey. He worked at different construction sites (建筑工地) in more than 10 cities. Whenever he arrives in a city, he first visits the bookstores and libraries there. He would take a notebook with him in order to write down paragraphs from the books and recite (背诵) them. He started reading poems from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and poems written by Chairman Mao Zedong because he found them rhythmic (有韵律的) and easy to remember. Over the years, he has read thousands of poems and can recite more than 1,000 of them. Reading poetry helps Zhu stay calm and he never complains (抱怨) about hard work. “Whenever I face any difficulty, I think of Chairman Mao’s quotation (语录) : Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it’,” he told China Daily.

Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holder. A report shows that whenever the unemployment rate (失业率) increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point: Work is helpful to our health. Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel not only unhappy but also worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work, people come into contact with each other. If people take part in some activities, they can find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work sometimes means the loss of everything. It affects man in spirit and makes him easy to get ill. Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment (充实感). Work makes one feel his value in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words. From the above we can know that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．Who can live longer, hard-working people or idle people? 2．What does the writer want to tell us in the first paragraph? 3．How do people feel when they don’t have anything to do? 4．How can we find friendship and warmth in our daily life? 5．What do you think hard work can bring us? (自拟一句作答) 【答案】1．Hard-working people. 2．Work is helpful to health. 3．Not only unhappy but also worried./Unhappy and worried. 4．By taking part in some activities. 5．A sense of fulfillment/achievement/... 【导语】本文讲述的是工作能够给人们带来充实感和成就感，也比不工作的人要更健康。 【详解】1．根据“Scientists find that hard-working people can live longer than idle (不工作的) people.”可知努力工作的人们要比不工作的人的寿命更长。故填Hard-working people. 2．根据“Work is helpful to our health.”以及第一段内容可知第一段主要介绍了工作对我们的健康有好处。故填Work is helpful to health. 3．根据“people feel not only unhappy but also worried when they have nothing to do”可知人们在无所事事时不仅感到不快乐，而且感到担忧。故填Not only unhappy but also worried./Unhappy and worried. 4．根据“If people take part in some activities, they can find friendship and warmth”可知如果人们参加一些活动，他们会发现友谊和温暖。故填By taking part in some activities. 5．开放性试题，言之有理即可。例如：根据“Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment”可知工作给人一种充实感。故填A sense of fulfillment/achievement/...

It is necessary for him to learn how to be modest.” So one day, he came to Su Shi’s house with a book. The book was shown to Su Shi and the old man said, “Though I have read the book many times, there are still some difficult words that I can’t understand. You are a person with rich knowledge so I come to you for help.” Su Shi took the book from the old man’s hand happily. He thought he would understand the words.

Passage5 （25-26九年级上·江苏宿迁·阶段检测）Can you cook by yourself? Do you like the homework of making a meal? These days, primary and middle school students are required to take the Practical Activity Class (实践活动课) at least one class hour every week. The topic of cooking was discussed mostly by parents and students. Learning practical skills plays an important role in shaping a person’s character for sure. Some schools and students have already practiced their practical activities. Gu Quan, 13 years old, from No. 18 Middle School, used to be a lazy boy. In his own words, he hardly ever did any housework. But things have changed since No. 18 Middle School made housework part of its students’ homework. Doing the dishes, cooking and making the bed…All of these tasks have become part of Gu Quan’s daily life. At the beginning of each month, every student gets a list of housework to do every weekend. Their parents help them keep a record of their performance. The tasks are common and simple in daily life, such as sweeping the floor, washing cups and cooking food.

Franklin was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on 17 January, 1706. He was a man of many talents. From a young age, Franklin’s great love of learning set him apart (分开，分离) from many others. As one of 17 children, Franklin had only two years of education. While working in his brother’s print shop, he taught himself by reading a lot. He often borrowed books from booksellers and stayed up late so that he could return them early. Curious about the world around him, Franklin once became interested in studying storms. He followed the storms and did many tests. Then he found out that storms moved from one place to another. His findings helped people predict the weather at that time. What’s more, Franklin had a great love for science, so his countless inventions came as no surprise. Even in his late seventies, he invented a type of special glasses to help him see better. As a lifelong learner, Franklin saw learning as an exciting and endless journey. This is his greatest gift to the world. 1．What set Franklin apart from many others from a young age? 2．Why did he often stay up late to read books? 3．How did his findings of storms help people at that time? 4．When did he invent a type of special glasses to help him see better? 5．What is learning in Franklin’s eyes? 【答案】1．His great love of learning. 2．In order to return them early./ To return them early. / He wanted to return them early. 3．They helped people predict the weather. / By predicting the weather. 4．In his late seventies. 5．An exciting and endless journey. 【导语】本文介绍了美国开国元勋本杰明·富兰克林的生平、学习经历、科学成就与发明，展现了他作为终身学习者的特质。 【详解】1．文中第二段提到“From a young age, Franklin’s great love of learning set him apart from many others.”，直接说明了让富兰克林与众不同的特质。 2．文中第二段提到“He often borrowed books from booksellers and stayed up late so that he could return them early.”，直接说明了他熬夜读书的原因。 3．文中第三段提到“His findings helped people predict the weather at that time.”，直接说明了他的发现对当时人们的帮助。 4．文中第四段提到“Even in his late seventies, he invented a type of special glasses to help him see better.”，直接说明了他发明特殊眼镜的时间。 5．文中最后一段提到“As a lifelong learner, Franklin saw learning as an exciting and endless journey.”，直接说明了富兰克林眼中的学习。 Passage7 （25-26九年级上·江苏盐城·阶段检测） One day, a son asked his father, “What is my life worth?” His father gave him a stone and said, “If you want to know, take this to the market.

A composer thinks of a musical idea and writes it on paper for others to read. Instead of writing words, a composer uses musical notation (记号). Other people can read the notes and play them. When they do, they’re playing music that came from the composer’s imagination. Beethoven was a famous German composer. He was born in 1770 in Bonn and began learning the piano when he was only four. He also learned to play the violin. Beethoven visited Vienna, which was a very musical city, in 1787.Two other famous composers lived in Vienna at that time. Wolfgang Mozart and Joseph Haydn met Beethoven and gave his music high praise. Beethoven made friends in Vienna and returned there in 1792.He studied music with Haydn and lived in Vienna for the rest of his life. Beethoven was known as a great pianist, but he wanted to compose his own music. He always seemed to have musical ideas in his head. His notebooks show how hard he worked to get the music just right. He often wrote and then revised his music by scratching it out (勾划), so it is possible for us to see how he was thinking about the music. During the late 1790s, Beethoven began to lose his hearing. At first it was difficult for him to hear people and talk with them. Even when he became completely deaf, he did not stop creating music, however. He heard music in his mind even though he couldn’t hear it with his ears. Most people have heard of Beethoven’s Symphony (交响乐) No.5, but they may not know he wrote it when he was growing deaf. A symphony is a long piece of music for orchestra (交响乐团). Symphony No.5 starts like this: ta-ta-ta-TUM. Beethoven used this pattern over and over in his symphony. Try saying it aloud two times: ta-ta-ta-TUM, ta-ta-ta-TUM. 1．When did Beethoven start learning music? 2．Which city influenced Beethoven most in his musical career? 3．What is Beethoven known as? 4．During the late 1790s,what difficulty did Beethoven face? 5．Why did Beethoven make greater achievements after losing his hearing? 【答案】1．When he was only four. 2．Vienna. 3．A great pianist. 4．He began to lose hearing. 5．Because he had a strong will./Because he didn’t stop creating music. 【导语】本文主要介绍了贝多芬的事迹。 【详解】1．根据“He was born in 1770 in Bonn and began learning the piano when he was only four.”可知，贝多芬在四岁的时候开始学习音乐。故填When he was only four. 2．根据“Beethoven visited Vienna, which was a very musical city, in 1787.…He studied music with Haydn and lived in Vienna for the rest of his life.”可知，维也纳对贝多芬的音乐生涯影响最大。故填Vienna. 3．根据“Beethoven was known as a great pianist, but he wanted to compose his own music.”可知，贝多芬被认为是一个伟大的钢琴家。故填A great pianist. 4．根据“During the late 1790s, Beethoven began to lose his hearing.”可知，18世纪90年代后期，贝多芬开始失聪。故填He began to lose hearing. 5．根据“At first it was difficult for him to hear people and talk with them. Even when he became completely deaf, he did not stop creating music, however. He heard music in his mind even though he couldn’t hear it with his ears.”可知，贝多芬在失聪后靠他强大的意志依旧没有停止创作，因此取得了伟大成绩。故填Because he had a strong will./Because he didn’t stop creating music.

Passage 12 （25-26九年级上·北京东城·期末）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Growing up, Anna Brooks often received letters. Her mother used to write her letters. So, when she found herself feeling disconnected while living in a big city, Anna decided to mirror her mother’s habit of writing letters—but it happened in a way she had never expected. “To get through the difficult time, I began writing letters to people I saw around the city,” explains Anna, founder of warmletters.com. “That small act grew into something much bigger: I shared the story online and invited others to ask for letters if they needed encouragement. Over nine months, I wrote more than 400 letters to strangers all across the world.” Today, fewer people write letters because technology such as texting, video calls, and emails is often considered more efficient (高效的). But Anna points out that the care and thought behind letters make them especially meaningful. “A handwritten letter symbolizes something you can touch in a digital world. It means that someone cleared space, took time, and was fully present to show up for someone else.” So what makes letter-writing so magical? Psychotherapist (心理治疗师) Ellie Rowland says, “The short-form nature of texts and DMs (direct messages) can make it hard to understand the nuances (细微含义) of what the other person is saying. Letter writing provides you with time and space to choose what you want to say. It can also lead to lower stress and more self-awareness.” Warmletters.com allows you to connect with people you’ve never met. Every month, several lucky people are chosen to receive handwritten letters of hope and encouragement. They are often people in need of support, such as someone caring for a sick family member or a person who has lost their home in a fire. Writing to a stranger can bring hope for the sender as well as the receiver. “Turning your focus from your own worries to helping someone else is what makes the greatest difference,” Anna shares. “Every time I sat down to write a letter, I stepped away from my heavy, dark feelings, and poured light, love, and encouragement into someone else’s day.” 1．What habit did Anna learn from her mother? 2．Why do fewer people write letters today? 3．What kind of people can receive letters from warmletters.com? 4．Would you like to be a letter writer like Anna? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.) 【答案】1．Anna learned the habit of writing letters from her mother. 2．Because technology such as texting, video calls, and emails is often considered more efficient. 3．People in need of support. 4．No, I wouldn’t. First, I prefer to communicate with others through faster ways like texting or video calls, which save time and allow for instant responses. Second, I am not very good at expressing my feelings in writing. 【导语】本文主要介绍了Anna受母亲影响养成写信习惯，在如今少有人写信的时代通过写信传递希望与鼓励，以及写信带来的意义等内容。 【详解】1．根据“Her mother used to write her letters. So, when she found herself feeling disconnected while living in a big city, Anna decided to mirror her mother’s habit of writing letters”可知，安娜从她母亲那里学到了写信的习惯。故填Anna learned the habit of writing letters from her mother. 2．根据“Today, fewer people write letters because technology such as texting, video calls, and emails is often considered more efficient (高效的).”可知，如今少有人写信是因为短信、视频通话和电子邮件等技术通常被认为更高效。故填Because technology such as texting, video calls, and emails is often considered more efficient. 3．根据“Every month, several lucky people are chosen to receive handwritten letters of hope and encouragement. They are often people in need of support, such as someone caring for a sick family member or a person who has lost their home in a fire.”可知，需要支持的人可以从warmletters.com收到信件。故填People in need of support. 4．开放性试题，言之有理即可。故填No, I wouldn’t. First, I prefer to communicate with others through faster ways like texting or video calls, which save time and allow for instant responses. Second, I am not very good at expressing my feelings in writing. Passage13 （25-26九年级上·北京东城·期中） Goodall Lives On What makes humans special? For a long time, people believed humans were different from all animals. They thought only humans could make tools and have real conversations. Then came Jane Goodall. As a child, Jane loved watching animals in her garden. She would sit for hours observing (观察) how birds built nests and squirrels collected food. This early love for nature stayed with her. At the age of 23, she went to Africa for the first time to realize her dream. Though she never went to university, she learnt much about animals from books. With help from scientist Louis Leakey, Jane began studying chimpanzees (黑猩猩) in Gombe forest. Her study method was different from that of other scientists—she gave the chimpanzees names like David Greybeard and Flo, treating them as individuals (个体). For months, the chimpanzees ran away when they saw her. But Jane stayed patient, watching from a distance (距离) every day. Jane’s patience brought amazing discoveries. She discovered that humans aren’t the only animals who use tools. She saw David Greybeard use a grass stem to catch termites (白蚁)—the first proof that animals could make and use tools. She also discovered that chimpanzees feel emotions and have families, having seen them hug when sad, hold hands, or have their mothers teach them to find food. Later Jane realized that studying animals wasn’t enough to protect them. She saw forests getting smaller and chimpanzees becoming fewer. So she started traveling worldwide, speaking to governments, schools, and communities. She told everyone that we must protect forests and the animals living in them. In 1991, Jane created Roots & Shoots to help young people make a difference. Students in this program clean up parks, plant trees, and help animals in their communities. One group in Tanzania built a safe place for birds. Another in Canada raised money to protect bear habitats (栖息地). Though Jane passed away recently, her work continues. She taught us that every person—including you and me—can help make our world better. As she often said: “Every day, each of us can make a difference.” 1．When did Jane go to Africa for the first time? 2．How was Jane’s way of studying chimpanzees different from that of other scientists? 3．What were Jane’s discoveries about chimpanzees? 4．Why do people see Jane Goodall as a great scientist? Please list two reasons based on the passage. 【答案】1．At the age of 23. 2．She gave the chimpanzees names and treated them as individuals. 3．She discovered that humans aren’t the only animals who use tools and that chimpanzees feel emotions and have families. 4．One reason is that she made amazing discoveries about chimpanzees, such as that they use tools and have emotions and families. Another reason is that she worked hard to protect forests and animals, traveling worldwide to speak to people about the importance of conservation. 【导语】本文主要讲述了珍·古道尔（Jane Goodall）对黑猩猩的研究以及她为保护动物和森林所做出的努力，展现了她的科学精神和对世界的积极影响。 【详解】1．根据第一段“At the age of 23, she went to Africa for the first time to realize her dream.”可知，珍23岁时第一次去非洲。故填At the age of 23. 2．根据第二段“Her study method was different from that of other scientists—she gave the chimpanzees names like David Greybeard and Flo, treating them as individuals (个体).”可知，珍研究黑猩猩的方式与其他科学家不同，她给黑猩猩取名字，把它们当作个体对待。故填She gave the chimpanzees names and treated them as individuals. 3．根据第三段“She discovered that humans aren’t the only animals who use tools. She saw David Greybeard use a grass stem to catch termites (白蚁)—the first proof that animals could make and use tools. She also discovered that chimpanzees feel emotions and have families, having seen them hug when sad, hold hands, or have their mothers teach them to find food.”可知，珍发现人类不是唯一使用工具的动物，她还发现黑猩猩有情感和家庭。故填She discovered that humans aren’t the only animals who use tools and that chimpanzees feel emotions and have families. 4．这是一个开放性问题，答案因人而异。但可以根据文章内容来回答。故填One reason is that she made amazing discoveries about chimpanzees, such as that they use tools and have emotions and families. Another reason is that she worked hard to protect forests and animals, traveling worldwide to speak to people about the importance of conservation. ( 1 / 13 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
