Now I always stick to working them out. In the future, I plan to take part in more volunteer work and keep working hard for my goals just like her. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年九年级上册英语单元自测·常州专用 （解析版） Unit 4 Life is beautiful 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：90分钟，满分：90分） 第I卷 选择题部分 （满分56分） 一、单项选择 （共10小题，每题1分，共10分） 从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。 1.

I had only been in China for a week when Rui, my new Chinese friend, asked me, “Have you ever had hot pot?” “No, what is it?” I answered. “It’s good. You’ll like it. See you tonight at 7?” And so it was decided. The hot pot restaurant was popular in the city. We found a table at the far end of a room. Soon, a large hot pot arrived. The hot pot itself had two sides. On one side was a cloudy white broth (肉汤). The broth on the other side was covered with bright red oil. “Is that red pepper oil?” I asked. “Yes,” Rui answered. “You should try it. If you like spicy (辛辣的) food, you’ll really enjoy it.” Rui picked up a thin slice of lamb with his chopsticks and then put it in the red broth. In seconds, it was cooked, and he put it on my small plate. “If it’s too spicy, you can use this other broth—it’s not spicy at all because it doesn’t have any peppers in it.” Rui pointed to the cloudy white broth on the other side of the pot. “No,” I said, “this is fine.” But it was more than fine: It was spicy, mouth-numbing, and amazing. I ate and ate until the restaurant was almost closed. I just couldn’t get enough of it. For hundreds of years, millions of Chinese people have felt the same way: They just can’t get enough hot pot. It has always been their favourite food. What makes Sichuan hot pot different from other hot pots is the use of huajiao. It is said that the spicy food helps people get through Sichuan’s hot and wet weather. Nearly as famous as the Sichuan hot pot is the Beijing hot pot. The Beijing hot pot uses lamb and many of the same ingredients (配料) as the Sichuan hot pot, but has a lighter taste. The Northeast Chinese hot pot usually contains pork and pickled cabbage, while the Guangdong hot pot uses a chicken or a fish broth, and is known for its wide range of ingredients. In fact, while lamb hot pot is quite popular, almost any kind of ingredient can be found in hot pot cooking. There are as many kinds of hot pots as there are cooks. In China, people like to joke that there is no problem that a hot pot can’t solve. The fire from a hot pot can melt just about any icy disagreement and warm just about any heart. Over a hot pot, people can talk and share not just food, but friendship. While the food may soon be forgotten, these friendships stay with us forever. Even today, when I think of hot pot, my friend Rui’s face immediately comes to mind, and I remember all the good times I spent with him. 26. What does the underlined word “it” in the passage mean? A. Expecting to try hot pot next week. B. Seeing an old friend in Changchun. C. Going out to eat hot pot at 7 that evening. D. Recommending a well-known restaurant. 27. What kind of pot did the writer try according to the passage? 28. What does “There are as many kinds of hot pots as there are cooks.” probably mean? A. People can make hot pots as they want. B. Making hot pots is easy for most cooks. C. Hot pots come in different types in China. D. Each cook has different ways to cook hot pots. 29. What is the best title for this passage? A. Spicy Food Tastes Great B. Tastes Change, Friendships Remain C. Hot Pots Fix Everything D. Stomachs Satisfied, Hearts Warmed 【答案】26. C 27. A 28. C 29. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙兼科普类文章，以作者在长春初次和朋友吃鸳鸯四川火锅的亲身经历切入，介绍 国内不同地域火锅的风味差别，点明火锅既能带来味觉享受，也能维系、升温人与人之间的友情。 26.定位前文对话：朋友 Rui 邀约“See you tonight at 7?”，后文“And so it was decided.”里的 it 指代当晚七点出门吃火锅这件事，对应 C 选项。 27.原文写明火锅分两侧，一边是乳白色清汤、一边是红油辣汤，也就是鸳鸯锅，匹配 A 图的鸳鸯锅样式；B为分格锅、C 是四宫格锅、D 是老北京铜锅，均不符合。 28.句子字面含义：有多少位做火锅的厨师，就有多少种火锅。结合前文“almost any kind of ingredient can be found in hot pot cooking”，说明国内火锅品类十分多样。 A 侧重食客随意制作，偏离原意；B 强调做火锅难度低，原文未提及；D 侧重每位厨师烹饪手法不一样，句子核心落脚点是火锅品类数量；C 点明中国火锅种类丰富，契合主旨。 29.文章两层核心：一是火锅美味填饱肚子；二是吃火锅能消解矛盾、温暖人心、留存长久的友情。A 只片面概括辣味食物；B 重心放在“口味变化”，文中没有口味转变的相关叙述；C 表述过于绝对，原文只是趣味调侃火锅大多能化解问题；D“胃部得到满足，内心被暖意包裹”，兼顾美食体验与情感价值，完整概括主旨。 C I (Robinson) showed him a pallet and a blanket and he fell quickly asleep. When waking up in the morning, he greeted me, down on his knees, with hands on his head. At first, we communicated primarily by body language. Soon my new servant showed himself much better at learning my language than I was at learning his. I studied him, and soon he could say his name, “Master”, “Yes” and “No”, and the names for various items. How good it was to hear a man’s voice again! It took Friday some time to grow used to the idea of hunting with a gun. I had to shoot several animals and birds before he stopped running away. For the next three years, I taught Friday how to use all my tools. Friday was quick to help with the farming and feeding. He worked hard and was obedient (服从). One day, I took Friday to the highest point of the island where all the nearby islands could be seen. Suddenly, Friday began to jump up and down. He seemed quite excited at the sight of his own country. I began to think again about escape. Perhaps together we could leave for his country. But what then? Would Friday still be my friend, or would his people kill me and eat me? I took Friday to the other side of the island and showed him my big canoe, though it was quite old. “Could you imagine sailing to your country on it, Friday? Can it be a success?” I asked him. “Oh, yes,” he answered. “It can carry a lot of food and drink.” But a moment later, Friday looked very upset. “Are you angry with me?” he asked. “What have I done? Why do you want to send me away?” “But I thought you wanted to go home,” I said. “Yes. But you must come with me. Kill me if you want, but don’t send me away from you!” He insisted (坚 持) that he would not leave me. 30．From the underlined sentence, we can infer Robinson lived a ________ life on the island. A．lonely B．comfortable C．dangerous D．challenging 31．Which of the sentences is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A．Friday was clever enough to learn skills from Robinson. B．Without Robinson’s help, Friday couldn’t know how to use the gun correctly. C．They happened to see Friday’ country from a hill on the island. D．Thinking about the life in Friday’ country, Robinson felt excited. 32．The underlined word “canoe” is similar to________ . A．cave B．tree C．boat D．gun 33．According to the dialogue between them, Friday impressed us with his________ . A．humor B．sincerity C．wisdom D．confidence 【答案】30．A 31．D 32．C 33．B 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《鲁滨逊漂流记》，主要讲述了鲁滨逊和他的仆人星期五在岛上的生活，包括星期五学习语言、帮助鲁滨逊干活，以及鲁滨逊考虑带星期五回他的国家时，星期五坚定表示不愿离开鲁滨逊的故事。 30．推理判断题。根据“How good it was to hear a man’s voice again!”，可推断出鲁滨逊之前在岛上很少听到 人的声音，生活很孤独。故选 A。 31．细节理解题。根据“He seemed quite excited at the sight of his own country. I began to think again about escape. Perhaps together we could...his people kill me and eat me?”可知，鲁滨逊想到去星期五的国家时，心里是担忧的，并非兴奋。故选 D。 32．词句猜测题。根据“Could you imagine sailing to your country on it, Friday? Can it be a success?”并结合“sailing”，可推测 canoe 和 boat 意思相近。故选 C。 33．推理判断题。根据“‘Yes. But you must come with me. Kill me if you want, but don’t send me away from you!’ ”可知，星期五坚决不愿离开鲁滨逊，体现出他的真诚。故选 B。 D No one knows when the first kite was made. The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel (隧道) into the king’s palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length of its string (线). In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up. Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country. Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the Western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightning was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau (气象局) used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented (试验) with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903. 34. Why did Han Xin want to dig a tunnel? A. To pull down the palace. B. To fight against the king. C. To search for the king’s treasure. D. To find out the length of the kite string. 35. One of the purposes of flying kites in Japan is ________. A. to give thanks for a good harvest in summer B. to express good wishes to the first-born daughter C. to celebrate the beginning of a new year D. to hold kite festivals all over the country 36. What would be the best title for the text? A. The History of Kites B. The Experiments of Kites C. The Invention of a Kite D. The First Record of a Kite 【答案】34. B 35. C 36. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍风筝的最早文字记载、风筝在中国古代、日本以及西方国家的不同 用途与相关历史故事。 34.第一段指出：“Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel (隧道) into the king’s palace.”，“bring down a king”意为推翻君主，对应和君主对抗。 35. 第二段第四句指出：“Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year.”，直接说明日本放风筝的用途之一是庆祝新年，为原文直接信息。 36. 文章首段讲中国古代风筝用于军事，第二段讲日本传统民俗用途，第三段讲西方科学实验用途，分别介绍不同地区、不同时代风筝的应用，完整讲述风筝的发展历史，因此最佳标题为风筝的历史。 四、还原信息(共4小题，每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文，从短文中所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 How to Find Your Life Purpose as a Teenager Finding your own life purpose is one of the most important tasks during teenage years. A clear purpose can give you energy when you feel tired from heavy schoolwork. Many students only focus on high scores and perfect grades. __37__ Good grades are important, but they cannot be the whole goal of your life. A real life purpose is something bigger than your own exam results. You can get inspiration from nature first. Different plants teach us to develop different good qualities. Pine trees teach us confidence; bamboo teaches us flexibility. __38__ They help us think clearly about what kind of person we want to become in the future. You can also learn from national role models. Fan Jinshi chose relic protection as her life purpose, and Zhang Guimei chose education for poor girls. __39__ They did not pick easy jobs, but they stuck to their goals firmly for their whole lives. __40__ You do not need to choose a great lifelong career right now. You can start with small daily things: helping classmates with difficult subjects, joining community volunteer activities or caring for elderly neighbours nearby. These small acts can slowly show you your true interest. It is never too late to look for your own life purpose. Take your time to watch, learn and try new things, and you will finally find your own meaningful life goal. A. Their stories show us the power of sticking to one lifelong purpose. B.

I had only been in China for a week when Rui, my new Chinese friend, asked me, “Have you ever had hot pot?” “No, what is it?” I answered. “It’s good. You’ll like it. See you tonight at 7?” And so it was decided. The hot pot restaurant was popular in the city. We found a table at the far end of a room. Soon, a large hot pot arrived. The hot pot itself had two sides. On one side was a cloudy white broth (肉汤). The broth on the other side was covered with bright red oil. “Is that red pepper oil?” I asked. “Yes,” Rui answered. “You should try it. If you like spicy (辛辣的) food, you’ll really enjoy it.” Rui picked up a thin slice of lamb with his chopsticks and then put it in the red broth. In seconds, it was cooked, and he put it on my small plate. “If it’s too spicy, you can use this other broth—it’s not spicy at all because it doesn’t have any peppers in it.” Rui pointed to the cloudy white broth on the other side of the pot. “No,” I said, “this is fine.” But it was more than fine: It was spicy, mouth-numbing, and amazing. I ate and ate until the restaurant was almost closed. I just couldn’t get enough of it. For hundreds of years, millions of Chinese people have felt the same way: They just can’t get enough hot pot. It has always been their favourite food. What makes Sichuan hot pot different from other hot pots is the use of huajiao. It is said that the spicy food helps people get through Sichuan’s hot and wet weather. Nearly as famous as the Sichuan hot pot is the Beijing hot pot. The Beijing hot pot uses lamb and many of the same ingredients (配料) as the Sichuan hot pot, but has a lighter taste. The Northeast Chinese hot pot usually contains pork and pickled cabbage, while the Guangdong hot pot uses a chicken or a fish broth, and is known for its wide range of ingredients. In fact, while lamb hot pot is quite popular, almost any kind of ingredient can be found in hot pot cooking. There are as many kinds of hot pots as there are cooks. In China, people like to joke that there is no problem that a hot pot can’t solve. The fire from a hot pot can melt just about any icy disagreement and warm just about any heart. Over a hot pot, people can talk and share not just food, but friendship. While the food may soon be forgotten, these friendships stay with us forever. Even today, when I think of hot pot, my friend Rui’s face immediately comes to mind, and I remember all the good times I spent with him. 26. What does the underlined word “it” in the passage mean? A. Expecting to try hot pot next week. B. Seeing an old friend in Changchun. C. Going out to eat hot pot at 7 that evening. D. Recommending a well-known restaurant. 27. What kind of pot did the writer try according to the passage? 28. What does “There are as many kinds of hot pots as there are cooks.” probably mean? A. People can make hot pots as they want. B. Making hot pots is easy for most cooks. C. Hot pots come in different types in China. D. Each cook has different ways to cook hot pots. 29. What is the best title for this passage? A. Spicy Food Tastes Great B. Tastes Change, Friendships Remain C. Hot Pots Fix Everything D. Stomachs Satisfied, Hearts Warmed C I (Robinson) showed him a pallet and a blanket and he fell quickly asleep. When waking up in the morning, he greeted me, down on his knees, with hands on his head. At first, we communicated primarily by body language. Soon my new servant showed himself much better at learning my language than I was at learning his. I studied him, and soon he could say his name, “Master”, “Yes” and “No”, and the names for various items. How good it was to hear a man’s voice again! It took Friday some time to grow used to the idea of hunting with a gun. I had to shoot several animals and birds before he stopped running away. For the next three years, I taught Friday how to use all my tools. Friday was quick to help with the farming and feeding. He worked hard and was obedient (服从). One day, I took Friday to the highest point of the island where all the nearby islands could be seen. Suddenly, Friday began to jump up and down. He seemed quite excited at the sight of his own country. I began to think again about escape. Perhaps together we could leave for his country. But what then? Would Friday still be my friend, or would his people kill me and eat me? I took Friday to the other side of the island and showed him my big canoe, though it was quite old. “Could you imagine sailing to your country on it, Friday? Can it be a success?” I asked him. “Oh, yes,” he answered. “It can carry a lot of food and drink.” But a moment later, Friday looked very upset. “Are you angry with me?” he asked. “What have I done? Why do you want to send me away?” “But I thought you wanted to go home,” I said. “Yes. But you must come with me. Kill me if you want, but don’t send me away from you!” He insisted (坚 持) that he would not leave me. 30．From the underlined sentence, we can infer Robinson lived a ________ life on the island. A．lonely B．comfortable C．dangerous D．challenging 31．Which of the sentences is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A．Friday was clever enough to learn skills from Robinson. B．Without Robinson’s help, Friday couldn’t know how to use the gun correctly. C．They happened to see Friday’ country from a hill on the island. D．Thinking about the life in Friday’ country, Robinson felt excited. 32．The underlined word “canoe” is similar to________ . A．cave B．tree C．boat D．gun 33．According to the dialogue between them, Friday impressed us with his________ . A．humor B．sincerity C．wisdom D．confidence D No one knows when the first kite was made. The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel (隧道) into the king’s palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length of its string (线). In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up. Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country. Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the Western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightning was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau (气象局) used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented (试验) with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903. 34. Why did Han Xin want to dig a tunnel? A. To pull down the palace. B. To fight against the king. C. To search for the king’s treasure. D. To find out the length of the kite string. 35. One of the purposes of flying kites in Japan is ________. A. to give thanks for a good harvest in summer B. to express good wishes to the first-born daughter C. to celebrate the beginning of a new year D. to hold kite festivals all over the country 36. What would be the best title for the text? A. The History of Kites B. The Experiments of Kites C. The Invention of a Kite D. The First Record of a Kite 四、还原信息(共4小题，每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文，从短文中所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 How to Find Your Life Purpose as a Teenager Finding your own life purpose is one of the most important tasks during teenage years. A clear purpose can give you energy when you feel tired from heavy schoolwork. Many students only focus on high scores and perfect grades. __37__ Good grades are important, but they cannot be the whole goal of your life. A real life purpose is something bigger than your own exam results. You can get inspiration from nature first. Different plants teach us to develop different good qualities. Pine trees teach us confidence; bamboo teaches us flexibility. __38__ They help us think clearly about what kind of person we want to become in the future. You can also learn from national role models. Fan Jinshi chose relic protection as her life purpose, and Zhang Guimei chose education for poor girls. __39__ They did not pick easy jobs, but they stuck to their goals firmly for their whole lives. __40__ You do not need to choose a great lifelong career right now. You can start with small daily things: helping classmates with difficult subjects, joining community volunteer activities or caring for elderly neighbours nearby. These small acts can slowly show you your true interest. It is never too late to look for your own life purpose. Take your time to watch, learn and try new things, and you will finally find your own meaningful life goal. A. Their stories show us the power of sticking to one lifelong purpose. B. Many teenagers think good marks are the only thing they need to chase. C. Learning life lessons from plants helps us shape our personal spirits. D.

I had only been in China for a week when Rui, my new Chinese friend, asked me, “Have you ever had hot pot?” “No, what is it?” I answered. “It’s good. You’ll like it. See you tonight at 7?” And so it was decided. The hot pot restaurant was popular in the city. We found a table at the far end of a room. Soon, a large hot pot arrived. The hot pot itself had two sides. On one side was a cloudy white broth (肉汤). The broth on the other side was covered with bright red oil. “Is that red pepper oil?” I asked. “Yes,” Rui answered. “You should try it. If you like spicy (辛辣的) food, you’ll really enjoy it.” Rui picked up a thin slice of lamb with his chopsticks and then put it in the red broth. In seconds, it was cooked, and he put it on my small plate. “If it’s too spicy, you can use this other broth—it’s not spicy at all because it doesn’t have any peppers in it.” Rui pointed to the cloudy white broth on the other side of the pot. “No,” I said, “this is fine.” But it was more than fine: It was spicy, mouth-numbing, and amazing. I ate and ate until the restaurant was almost closed. I just couldn’t get enough of it. For hundreds of years, millions of Chinese people have felt the same way: They just can’t get enough hot pot. It has always been their favourite food. What makes Sichuan hot pot different from other hot pots is the use of huajiao. It is said that the spicy food helps people get through Sichuan’s hot and wet weather. Nearly as famous as the Sichuan hot pot is the Beijing hot pot. The Beijing hot pot uses lamb and many of the same ingredients (配料) as the Sichuan hot pot, but has a lighter taste. The Northeast Chinese hot pot usually contains pork and pickled cabbage, while the Guangdong hot pot uses a chicken or a fish broth, and is known for its wide range of ingredients. In fact, while lamb hot pot is quite popular, almost any kind of ingredient can be found in hot pot cooking. There are as many kinds of hot pots as there are cooks. In China, people like to joke that there is no problem that a hot pot can’t solve. The fire from a hot pot can melt just about any icy disagreement and warm just about any heart. Over a hot pot, people can talk and share not just food, but friendship. While the food may soon be forgotten, these friendships stay with us forever. Even today, when I think of hot pot, my friend Rui’s face immediately comes to mind, and I remember all the good times I spent with him. 26. What does the underlined word “it” in the passage mean? A. Expecting to try hot pot next week. B. Seeing an old friend in Changchun. C. Going out to eat hot pot at 7 that evening. D. Recommending a well-known restaurant. 27. What kind of pot did the writer try according to the passage? 28. What does “There are as many kinds of hot pots as there are cooks.” probably mean? A. People can make hot pots as they want. B. Making hot pots is easy for most cooks. C. Hot pots come in different types in China. D. Each cook has different ways to cook hot pots. 29. What is the best title for this passage? A. Spicy Food Tastes Great B. Tastes Change, Friendships Remain C. Hot Pots Fix Everything D. Stomachs Satisfied, Hearts Warmed C I (Robinson) showed him a pallet and a blanket and he fell quickly asleep. When waking up in the morning, he greeted me, down on his knees, with hands on his head. At first, we communicated primarily by body language. Soon my new servant showed himself much better at learning my language than I was at learning his. I studied him, and soon he could say his name, “Master”, “Yes” and “No”, and the names for various items. How good it was to hear a man’s voice again! It took Friday some time to grow used to the idea of hunting with a gun. I had to shoot several animals and birds before he stopped running away. For the next three years, I taught Friday how to use all my tools. Friday was quick to help with the farming and feeding. He worked hard and was obedient (服从). One day, I took Friday to the highest point of the island where all the nearby islands could be seen. Suddenly, Friday began to jump up and down. He seemed quite excited at the sight of his own country. I began to think again about escape. Perhaps together we could leave for his country. But what then? Would Friday still be my friend, or would his people kill me and eat me? I took Friday to the other side of the island and showed him my big canoe, though it was quite old. “Could you imagine sailing to your country on it, Friday? Can it be a success?” I asked him. “Oh, yes,” he answered. “It can carry a lot of food and drink.” But a moment later, Friday looked very upset. “Are you angry with me?” he asked. “What have I done? Why do you want to send me away?” “But I thought you wanted to go home,” I said. “Yes. But you must come with me. Kill me if you want, but don’t send me away from you!” He insisted (坚 持) that he would not leave me. 30．From the underlined sentence, we can infer Robinson lived a ________ life on the island. A．lonely B．comfortable C．dangerous D．challenging 31．Which of the sentences is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A．Friday was clever enough to learn skills from Robinson. B．Without Robinson’s help, Friday couldn’t know how to use the gun correctly. C．They happened to see Friday’ country from a hill on the island. D．Thinking about the life in Friday’ country, Robinson felt excited. 32．The underlined word “canoe” is similar to________ . A．cave B．tree C．boat D．gun 33．According to the dialogue between them, Friday impressed us with his________ . A．humor B．sincerity C．wisdom D．confidence D No one knows when the first kite was made. The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel (隧道) into the king’s palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length of its string (线). In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up. Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country. Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the Western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightning was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau (气象局) used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented (试验) with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903. 34. Why did Han Xin want to dig a tunnel? A. To pull down the palace. B. To fight against the king. C. To search for the king’s treasure. D. To find out the length of the kite string. 35. One of the purposes of flying kites in Japan is ________. A. to give thanks for a good harvest in summer B. to express good wishes to the first-born daughter C. to celebrate the beginning of a new year D. to hold kite festivals all over the country 36. What would be the best title for the text? A. The History of Kites B. The Experiments of Kites C. The Invention of a Kite D. The First Record of a Kite 四、还原信息(共4小题，每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文，从短文中所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 How to Find Your Life Purpose as a Teenager Finding your own life purpose is one of the most important tasks during teenage years.
