2026-2027学年译林版英语九年级上册第一次月考之阅读理解C篇 10篇 学生版 1C Like most teachers, on the first day of school, Mrs. Black told her students she was kind and she loved them all the same. But that was impossible because in the front row was a little boy named Teddy. With dirty clothes, Teddy could be unpleasant. At the school where Mrs. Black taught, she was required to receive each child’s past record and she put Teddy’s off until last. However, when she received it, she was quite surprised. Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work well and has good manners.” His second grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a serious illness.” His third grade teacher wrote, “His mother’s death has been hard on him. Teddy doesn’t show much interest in school and sometimes sleeps in class.” By now, Mrs. Black realized the problem and she was ashamed (羞愧的) of herself. On the very day, she gave up teaching reading and writing. Instead she began to teach children. Mrs. Black paid special attention to Teddy. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class. Six years later, she received a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. Four years after that, she got another letter, saying that he would soon graduate from college with the highest honor (荣誉). Then four more years passed and yet another letter came. This time, Teddy said he was going to be married and invited Mrs. Black to his wedding. At the wedding, Teddy whispered in Mrs. Black’s ear, “Thank you Mrs. Black for believing in me. Thank you so much for making me feel important and showing me that I could make a difference.” Mrs. Black, with tears in eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.” 1. What does the underlined sentence “On the very day, she gave up teaching reading and writing. Instead she began to teach children.” in Paragraph 6 mean? A. Mrs. Black didn’t teach children reading and writing any more. B. Mrs. Black paid special attention only to Teddy and took good care of him. C. Mrs. Black gave up her job as a teacher and helped people look after kids. D. Mrs. Black not only taught students knowledge but also cared about them. 2. Which is the right order of the following events? a. Mrs. Black received Teddy’s past records and felt quite surprised. b. Teddy’s mum died of illness and he showed little interest in school. c. Teddy was going to get married and invited Mrs. Black to his wedding. d. Mrs. Black paid special attention to Teddy and Teddy made great progress. A. d-b-a-c B. b-a-c-d C. b-a-d-c D. d-a-b-c 3. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Special Wedding. B. The Best Teacher Ever C. A Wonderful School D. Important Past Records 2C Jo was the first to wake. She remembered her mother’s promise, and, putting her hand under her pillow(枕头), drew out a little red-covered book. She loved it. She woke Meg up and asked her to see what was under her pillow. A green-covered book appeared. Then Beth and Amy woke, to find their little books also. “Girls,” said Meg seriously, “Mother wants us to read and love these books, and we must begin at once. I shall read a little every morning, for I know it will do me good.” And then they opened the new books and read. The rooms were very quiet, and the winter sunshine shone in to touch the serious faces with a Christmas greeting. “Where is Mother?” asked Meg, as she ran down to thank her for their gifts, half an hour later. “Some poor men come for help, and Mrs. March went straight off to see what was needed,” replied Hannah,who was considered more as a friend than a servant. “She will be back soon, so we must get everything ready,” said Meg, looking over the presents which were collected in a basket, ready to be given to their mother at the proper time. “Why,where is Amy’s bottle of cologne(古龙香水)?” she wondered. “She took it out a minute ago,” replied Jo. “There’s Mother. Hide the basket, quick!” cried Jo, as door opened, and steps sounded in the hall. Amy hurried in, and looked rather ashamed(羞愧的)when she saw her sisters all waiting for her. “Where have you been, and what are you hiding behind you?” asked Meg, surprised to see that lazy Amy had been out so early. “You see, I felt ashamed of my present, so I ran round the corner and changed the little bottle for a big one and I gave all my money for it; and I’m truly trying not to be selfish any more.” Another bang of the street door sent the girls to the table. “Merry Christmas, Marmee! Thank you for our books; we love them,” they said together. “Merry Christmas, little daughters! I’m glad you like the books. But I want to say one word before we sit down. Not far from here lies a poor woman with a little new-born baby. They were suffering hunger and cold. My girls, will you give them your breakfast as a Christmas present?” They were all unusually hungry, having waited for nearly an hour, and for a minute no one spoke; only a minute, for Jo said, “I’m so glad you came before we began!” (From Little Women) ( ) 1. Why did Amy go out early in the morning? A. To buy a present for her mother. B. To send her present to her mother. C. To change her present for a better one. D. To see what the poor family needed. ( ) 2. Which words can describe the girls best? A. Lazy and unselfish. B. Loving and unselfish. C. Lazy and kind. D. Loving and clever. ( ) 3. What does Jo mean by saying “I’m so glad you came before we began” in the last paragraph? A. They could have breakfast together. B. They could send the food to the poor family. C. They were too hungry to wait for their mother any longer. D. It was not too late for breakfast. 3C Mr and Mrs March lived together with their four daughters. Amy was very shy. Beth loved being at home. Meg looked very pretty. Jo was tall and thin and she was a tomboy. Their home was always busy and full of noise and people. Next to them lived old Mr Laurence and his grandson, Laurie. They lived in a very large and comfortable house. But it was a house without life. One day, Jo saw Laurie standing at an upstairs window in his house and looking down at their garden. Jo’s sisters were playing in the snow there. They were throwing snowballs and having a lot of fun. But Laurie’s face was very sad. “Poor boy!” Jo thought. “He’s all alone. He needs some friends.” She couldn’t stop thinking about him. She wanted to go and see him, but how could she go to his house without an invitation? Then one snowy afternoon, she saw Laurie’s grandpa go out. This gave her an idea. She took a broom from the kitchen. “What are you going to do, Jo?” asked her sister Meg. “To clear the garden path,” answered Jo. When Laurie saw Jo from the window, a big smile changed his pale, sad face. Jo laughed and shouted, “How are you? Are you ill?” Laurie opened the window and said, “I’m better now, thank you. I had a bad cold and had to stay inside for a week.” “I’m sorry,” said Jo, “Are you bored?” “Yes, very,” he replied. “Don’t your friends come to visit you?” “No. But I don’t want to see anybody. Boys are noisy and they give me a headache.” “Girls are quiet.” “I don’t know any girls.” “You know us.” “That’s true! Can you come and visit me?” cried Laurie. “I’m not quiet, but I’d like to come,” replied Jo, “I must ask Mother first.” She ran back into her house. A few minutes later, she returned and rang the bell on the door of Laurie’s house. A servant took her upstairs. “Here I am!” she said brightly. “Mother sends her love and my sisters gave me this blancmange for you.” “That looks delicious,” Laurie said. He was very happy to see Jo. Jo looked around. There were lots of books on the shelves. “A nice room!” she said, “I can read to you if you like.” “No let’s talk,” replied Laurie. “All right,” said Jo, “I can talk for hours. My sisters say I never know when to stop.” “You have three sisters. Amy, Beth and Meg,” Laurie continued. “How do you know that?” Jo was surprised. “You call each other’s names when you are in the garden. Sometimes I can see you all around the table with your mother. She has a very kind face. I like looking at her. I haven’t got a mother.” Jo felt sad when she heard this. “Why don’t you come and visit us?” she said, “It isn’t good for you to stay in this house all the time.” “Thank you, I’d like to come very much,” said Laurie. “We know all our neighbours except you,” Jo said. “I’m glad we’re friends now.” She told him about all the interesting things in her life. She said, “Besides plays, I also love books.” Laurie loved books too, and offered to show her the library in the house. The library was a wonderful room. Jo loved it. “Wow!” she said, “All those books!” Laurie said, “A person needs more than books.” Just then the bell rang and a servant came in… 1. From the first paragraph, we know . A.

I moved him, he thought. Maybe this time I can get him over. Pull, hands, he thought. Hold up, legs. Last for me, head. Last for me. You never went. This time I’ll pull him over. But when he put all of his effort on, starting it well out before the fish came alongside and pulling with all his strength, the fish pulled part way over and then righted himself and swam away. “Fish,” the old man said. “Fish, you are going to have to die anyway. Do you have to kill me too?” That way nothing is achieved, he thought. His mouth was too dry to speak but he could not reach for the water now. I must get him alongside this time, he thought. I am not good for many more turns. Yes, you are, he told himself. You’re good for ever. On the next turn, he nearly had him. But again the fish righted himself and swam slowly away. You are killing me, fish, the old man thought. But you have a right to. Never have I seen a greater, or more beautiful, or a calmer thing than you, brother. Come on and kill me. I do not care who kills who. Now you are getting confused in the head, he thought. You must keep your head clear. Keep your head clear and know how to suffer like a man. Or a fish, he thought. “Clear up, head,” he said in a voice he could hardly hear. “Clear up.” Twice more it was the same on the turns. I’ll try it again, the old man promised, although his hands were not strong now and he could only see well in lights. He tried it again and it was the same. So he thought, and he felt himself going before he started; I will try it once again. The old man dropped the line and put his foot on it and lifted the harpoon (鱼叉) as high as he could and drove it down with all his strength, and more strength he had just summoned (使出) into the fish’s side just behind the great chest fin that rose high in the air to the height of the man’s chest. He felt the iron go in and he leaned on it and drove it further and then pushed all his weight after it. Then the fish came alive, with his death in him, and rose high out of the water showing all his great length and width and all his power and his beauty. He seemed to hang in the air above the old man in the boat. Then he fell into the water with a crash that sent spray over the old man and over all of the boat. 1. Why did the old man keep talking to himself while fighting against the fish? A. To keep encouraging himself. B. To save himself from great stress. C. To remind himself of the hidden danger. D. To prevent himself from feeling tired. 2. Which of the following statements is true about the fisherman? A. The fisherman seemed to be playing a cat and mouse game with the fish. B. The fisherman showed respect for the fish in the fight against him. C. The fisherman has been fighting with the fish for long, which made him nervous. D. The fisherman, experienced as he was in fishing, nearly got killed on several chances. 3. Which of the following words best describes the old man? A. brave B. strong-willed C. ambitious (有野心) D. cheerful 5C Chief of police, Otchumyelov, and one of his officers, Yeldyrin, are walking in the village square when they hear a man crying out that he has been bitten. A moment later, they hear a dog crying in fear. A dog is shouting and jumping, followed by Hryukin, the local goldsmith. Hryukin catches the dog to stop it from running away. The dog is afraid, and Hryukin is angry about his bleeding finger. Soon, many villagers gather around Hryukin and the dog. Hryukin tells Otchumyelov that he was minding his own business when, for no reason, the dog bit him. Hryukin shows his finger and is worried that he won’t be able to work because of his injury (受伤). “The dog’s owner should pay me!” Hryukin says. Otchumyelov agrees and adds that the dog must be put down as well. “Who owns this dog?” he asks the villagers. When someone answers that the owner is the powerful General Zhigalov, Otchumyelov becomes nervous and suddenly suggests a different possibility: This dog may be innocent (无罪的). “How could this tiny dog reach your finger if you were minding your own business?” Otchumyelov asks Hryukin. Someone answers that he saw Hryukin anger the dog by sticking a cigarette in its face. Hryukin starts to deny this, but he is stopped by Yeldyrin. Yeldyrin says that the dog isn’t General Zhigalov’s. Very quickly, Otchumyelov agrees. He points out that the general would never have a dog like this one. But just as Otchumyelov decides they must kill the dog, Yeldyrin remembers seeing a similar dog on the general’s land. Depending on who he believes to be the dog’s owner, Otchumyelov has a different answer for whether the dog should live or die. Finally, the general’s cook arrives on the scene with the truth. The cook says that this dog isn’t General Zhigalov’s but instead belongs to the general’s brother, another powerful man. After hearing this, Otchumyelov quickly praises the dog and laughs about the whole accident. As the cook leaves to return the dog to its owner, Otchumyelov threatens to hurt Hryukin for making a scene. The villagers laugh at the goldsmith and his injured finger. —Adapted from A Chameleon 1.

The tiny dog couldn’t reach his finger. 2. What does the underlined word “deny” mean? A. To say that something is boring. B. To say that something must be done. C. To say that something is not true. D. To say that something is not important. 3. What can we mainly learn from the passage? A. Otchumyelov does his best to keep Hryukin safe. B. Otchumyelov is one of General Zhigalov’s best friends. C. As a policeman, Otchumyelov is always careful with his work. D. How Otchumyelov deals with the dog depends on who is the dog’s owner. 6C You might have seen beautiful rainbows in the sky before. They form when sunlight falls on water drops in the air. But in fact, moonlight can also create rainbows in the same way. They are called “moonbows”. They are similar to rainbows, but they are created by moonlight instead of direct sunlight. Moonbows are rarer than rainbows. Different weather and astronomical (天文学的) conditions have to be just right for moonbows to be created. The moon has to be very low in the sky — only 42 degrees from the horizon (地平线). The moon period has to be a full moon or nearly full. The sky must be very dark for a moonbow to be watched clearly — any bright light can obscure it. Water drops must appear in the air in the opposite direction of the moon. Moonbows appear on the opposite side of the moon and usually look white to the human eye. This is because their colors are not bright enough to be noticed by the human eye. It is possible, however, to view the colors in a moon bow using long exposure (长时间曝光) photography. Moonbows more often appear in some locations around the world. Most of these locations usually have waterfalls, which create thin fog in the air. Some of these locations are the Yosemite National Park in California and Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in Kentucky, US; Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe; and Waimea in Hawaii, US. Moonbows do really happen. So at a certain time and a certain place, when a moonbow happens to appear, you can’t miss it if you’re right there. 1. According to the first two paragraphs, moonbows are . A. created by sunlight B. much easier to find C. seen during the day D. more difficult to form 2. What does the underlined word “obscure” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. cover. B. drop. C. connect. D. produce. 3. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Conditions of moonbows. B. Background of moonbows. C. Locations of moonbows. D. Development of moonbows. 7C People think differently, but how does this happen? To find out the answer, Dr. Guilford, a famous psychologist, carried out a study on creativity (创造力) in the 1970s, known as The Nine-Dot Puzzle (九点谜题). In the research, Guilford asked participators (参与者) to connect all nine dots with at most four straight lines, without lifting pencils from the paper. As a result, only 20% managed to solve the puzzle. The following survey showed that all failed participators had looked for ways in the virtual (虚拟的) box, which is formed with virtual lines. But the winners could break out of the virtual box and continued their lines in the open space around the dots. The results of Guilford’s research led him to an idea: creativity needs you to go outside the box. The idea was widely spread soon. Overnight, it seemed that there were creativity experts everywhere, teaching people how to think outside the box. The idea was so popular that no one thought of checking the facts until two different research teams, did another study. To check if Guilford’s idea is correct, the participators were divided (分) into two groups. The first group was given the same instructions as those in Guilford’s study. The second group was told they could draw outside the virtual box. Most people think that at least 60% of the second group could solve the puzzle easily. Guess what? Less than 25% solved the puzzle. It was nearly the same as the result of Guilford’s study. The result made everyone surprised, but it was the truth. Let’s look more closely at the surprising result. Solving this problem needs people to think outside the box. However, direct and clear instructions—“think outside the box” did not help participators solve the puzzle more easily. In some ways, the idea that thinking outside the box makes people more creative can be improper. 1. Which of the following can solve The Nine-Dot Puzzle? A. B. C. D. 2. Most people thought that in Guilford’s study, more participators would solve the puzzle if . A. they could find out the imagined box more quickly B. they were given some more time to complete the puzzle C they were told to draw the lines outside the imagined box D. they could discuss the ways together with other participators 3. The passage probably tells us that . A. the popular ideas among most people are true B. the “facts” accepted by many people may not be facts C. being good at going outside the box means creativity D. practising solving puzzles does help to think differently 8C What subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can't sleep well the day before a math. Some students can’t sleep well the day before a math exam.Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself.But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful. “For people who are worried about math, posture (姿势)makes a big difference,” Erik Peper from San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. That's right - sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams. Scientists tested 125 college students.They asked them to do a simple math quiz while sitting in a slumped-over (趴倒的) position, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight. Slumping over is a defensive(防御的)posture. It can cause negative(消极的) memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Peper said. Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily get some help from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported. Good posture isn’t just helpful for taking math exams. Athletes, musicians and public speakers can all benefit(得到好处) from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall, It can help you feel more confident and active and focus better. 1. According to the passage, how do some students feel when they face math? A. Cool and calm B. Sleepy C. Stressed D.Relaxed 2. How many students found it easier to do the math quiz when sitting straight? A.125 B.70 C.56 D.60 3.What do we know from the passage? A.Sitting up straight can help people feel better B.Good posture is just helpful for taking math exams. C. Right posture can help students remember faster. D.Slumping over can sometimes have a good influence. 4. What is the passage mainly about? A. Who usually Slumps over. B. How to relax in an exam. C. The benefits of positive postures. D. A good way to have math tests. 5. In which part of a newspaper can you read the text? A. Travel B. Sports news C.Science D.Advertisement 9C Every month, Julia and her cousins would go for the big family meal at their grandparents' house. They would always wait excitedly for the moment their grandfather would give them a few coins. Then all the children would run off to buy sweets. One day, he gathered the children.

Beth loved being at home. Meg looked very pretty. Jo was tall and thin and she was a tomboy. Their home was always busy and full of noise and people. Next to them lived old Mr Laurence and his grandson, Laurie. They lived in a very large and comfortable house. But it was a house without life. One day, Jo saw Laurie standing at an upstairs window in his house and looking down at their garden. Jo’s sisters were playing in the snow there. They were throwing snowballs and having a lot of fun. But Laurie’s face was very sad. “Poor boy!” Jo thought. “He’s all alone. He needs some friends.” She couldn’t stop thinking about him. She wanted to go and see him, but how could she go to his house without an invitation? Then one snowy afternoon, she saw Laurie’s grandpa go out. This gave her an idea. She took a broom from the kitchen. “What are you going to do, Jo?” asked her sister Meg. “To clear the garden path,” answered Jo. When Laurie saw Jo from the window, a big smile changed his pale, sad face. Jo laughed and shouted, “How are you? Are you ill?” Laurie opened the window and said, “I’m better now, thank you. I had a bad cold and had to stay inside for a week.” “I’m sorry,” said Jo, “Are you bored?” “Yes, very,” he replied. “Don’t your friends come to visit you?” “No. But I don’t want to see anybody. Boys are noisy and they give me a headache.” “Girls are quiet.” “I don’t know any girls.” “You know us.” “That’s true! Can you come and visit me?” cried Laurie. “I’m not quiet, but I’d like to come,” replied Jo, “I must ask Mother first.” She ran back into her house. A few minutes later, she returned and rang the bell on the door of Laurie’s house. A servant took her upstairs. “Here I am!” she said brightly. “Mother sends her love and my sisters gave me this blancmange for you.” “That looks delicious,” Laurie said. He was very happy to see Jo. Jo looked around. There were lots of books on the shelves. “A nice room!” she said, “I can read to you if you like.” “No let’s talk,” replied Laurie. “All right,” said Jo, “I can talk for hours. My sisters say I never know when to stop.” “You have three sisters. Amy, Beth and Meg,” Laurie continued. “How do you know that?” Jo was surprised. “You call each other’s names when you are in the garden. Sometimes I can see you all around the table with your mother. She has a very kind face. I like looking at her. I haven’t got a mother.” Jo felt sad when she heard this. “Why don’t you come and visit us?” she said, “It isn’t good for you to stay in this house all the time.” “Thank you, I’d like to come very much,” said Laurie. “We know all our neighbours except you,” Jo said. “I’m glad we’re friends now.” She told him about all the interesting things in her life. She said, “Besides plays, I also love books.” Laurie loved books too, and offered to show her the library in the house. The library was a wonderful room. Jo loved it. “Wow!” she said, “All those books!” Laurie said, “A person needs more than books.” Just then the bell rang and a servant came in… 1. From the first paragraph, we know ________. A.

I moved him, he thought. Maybe this time I can get him over. Pull, hands, he thought. Hold up, legs. Last for me, head. Last for me. You never went. This time I’ll pull him over. But when he put all of his effort on, starting it well out before the fish came alongside and pulling with all his strength, the fish pulled part way over and then righted himself and swam away. “Fish,” the old man said. “Fish, you are going to have to die anyway. Do you have to kill me too?” That way nothing is achieved, he thought. His mouth was too dry to speak but he could not reach for the water now. I must get him alongside this time, he thought. I am not good for many more turns. Yes, you are, he told himself. You’re good for ever. On the next turn, he nearly had him. But again the fish righted himself and swam slowly away. You are killing me, fish, the old man thought. But you have a right to. Never have I seen a greater, or more beautiful, or a calmer thing than you, brother. Come on and kill me. I do not care who kills who. Now you are getting confused in the head, he thought. You must keep your head clear. Keep your head clear and know how to suffer like a man. Or a fish, he thought. “Clear up, head,” he said in a voice he could hardly hear. “Clear up.” Twice more it was the same on the turns. I’ll try it again, the old man promised, although his hands were not strong now and he could only see well in lights. He tried it again and it was the same. So he thought, and he felt himself going before he started; I will try it once again. The old man dropped the line and put his foot on it and lifted the harpoon (鱼叉) as high as he could and drove it down with all his strength, and more strength he had just summoned (使出) into the fish’s side just behind the great chest fin that rose high in the air to the height of the man’s chest. He felt the iron go in and he leaned on it and drove it further and then pushed all his weight after it. Then the fish came alive, with his death in him, and rose high out of the water showing all his great length and width and all his power and his beauty. He seemed to hang in the air above the old man in the boat. Then he fell into the water with a crash that sent spray over the old man and over all of the boat. 1.

A moment later, they hear a dog crying in fear. A dog is shouting and jumping, followed by Hryukin, the local goldsmith. Hryukin catches the dog to stop it from running away. The dog is afraid, and Hryukin is angry about his bleeding finger. Soon, many villagers gather around Hryukin and the dog. Hryukin tells Otchumyelov that he was minding his own business when, for no reason, the dog bit him. Hryukin shows his finger and is worried that he won’t be able to work because of his injury (受伤). “The dog’s owner should pay me!” Hryukin says. Otchumyelov agrees and adds that the dog must be put down as well. “Who owns this dog?” he asks the villagers. When someone answers that the owner is the powerful General Zhigalov, Otchumyelov becomes nervous and suddenly suggests a different possibility: This dog may be innocent (无罪的). “How could this tiny dog reach your finger if you were minding your own business?” Otchumyelov asks Hryukin. Someone answers that he saw Hryukin anger the dog by sticking a cigarette in its face. Hryukin starts to deny this, but he is stopped by Yeldyrin. Yeldyrin says that the dog isn’t General Zhigalov’s. Very quickly, Otchumyelov agrees. He points out that the general would never have a dog like this one. But just as Otchumyelov decides they must kill the dog, Yeldyrin remembers seeing a similar dog on the general’s land. Depending on who he believes to be the dog’s owner, Otchumyelov has a different answer for whether the dog should live or die. Finally, the general’s cook arrives on the scene with the truth. The cook says that this dog isn’t General Zhigalov’s but instead belongs to the general’s brother, another powerful man. After hearing this, Otchumyelov quickly praises the dog and laughs about the whole accident. As the cook leaves to return the dog to its owner, Otchumyelov threatens to hurt Hryukin for making a scene. The villagers laugh at the goldsmith and his injured finger. —Adapted from A Chameleon 1.

They form when sunlight falls on water drops in the air. But in fact, moonlight can also create rainbows in the same way. They are called “moonbows”. They are similar to rainbows, but they are created by moonlight instead of direct sunlight. Moonbows are rarer than rainbows. Different weather and astronomical (天文学的) conditions have to be just right for moonbows to be created. The moon has to be very low in the sky — only 42 degrees from the horizon (地平线). The moon period has to be a full moon or nearly full. The sky must be very dark for a moonbow to be watched clearly — any bright light can obscure it. Water drops must appear in the air in the opposite direction of the moon. Moonbows appear on the opposite side of the moon and usually look white to the human eye. This is because their colors are not bright enough to be noticed by the human eye. It is possible, however, to view the colors in a moon bow using long exposure (长时间曝光) photography. Moonbows more often appear in some locations around the world. Most of these locations usually have waterfalls, which create thin fog in the air. Some of these locations are the Yosemite National Park in California and Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in Kentucky, US; Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe; and Waimea in Hawaii, US. Moonbows do really happen. So at a certain time and a certain place, when a moonbow happens to appear, you can’t miss it if you’re right there. 1. According to the first two paragraphs, moonbows are ________. A. created by sunlight B. much easier to find C. seen during the day D. more difficult to form 2. What does the underlined word “obscure” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. cover. B. drop. C. connect. D. produce. 3. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Conditions of moonbows. B. Background of moonbows. C. Locations of moonbows. D. Development of moonbows. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了什么是月虹、月虹的形成条件以及月虹发生的地点等。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Moonbows are rarer than rainbows. Different weather and astronomical (天文学的) conditions have to be just right for moonbows to be created.”可知，月虹比彩虹更难得，天气和天文条件必须正好，月虹才会出现。故选D。 【2题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“The sky must be very dark for a moonbow to be watched clearly — any bright light can obscure it.”可知，天空必须非常暗，我们才能看清楚月虹，任何亮光都会遮住它，可推测obscure意为“遮住”，与cover意思相近。故选A。 【3题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Moonbows more often appear in some locations around the world.”可知，第五段主要介绍月虹在某些地点更常发生。故选C。 7C People think differently, but how does this happen? To find out the answer, Dr. Guilford, a famous psychologist, carried out a study on creativity (创造力) in the 1970s, known as The Nine-Dot Puzzle (九点谜题). In the research, Guilford asked participators (参与者) to connect all nine dots with at most four straight lines, without lifting pencils from the paper. As a result, only 20% managed to solve the puzzle. The following survey showed that all failed participators had looked for ways in the virtual (虚拟的) box, which is formed with virtual lines. But the winners could break out of the virtual box and continued their lines in the open space around the dots. The results of Guilford’s research led him to an idea: creativity needs you to go outside the box. The idea was widely spread soon. Overnight, it seemed that there were creativity experts everywhere, teaching people how to think outside the box. The idea was so popular that no one thought of checking the facts until two different research teams, did another study. To check if Guilford’s idea is correct, the participators were divided (分) into two groups. The first group was given the same instructions as those in Guilford’s study. The second group was told they could draw outside the virtual box. Most people think that at least 60% of the second group could solve the puzzle easily. Guess what? Less than 25% solved the puzzle. It was nearly the same as the result of Guilford’s study. The result made everyone surprised, but it was the truth. Let’s look more closely at the surprising result. Solving this problem needs people to think outside the box. However, direct and clear instructions—“think outside the box” did not help participators solve the puzzle more easily. In some ways, the idea that thinking outside the box makes people more creative can be improper. 1. Which of the following can solve The Nine-Dot Puzzle? A. B. C. D. 2. Most people thought that in Guilford’s study, more participators would solve the puzzle if ________. A. they could find out the imagined box more quickly B. they were given some more time to complete the puzzle C they were told to draw the lines outside the imagined box D. they could discuss the ways together with other participators 3. The passage probably tells us that ________. A. the popular ideas among most people are true B. the “facts” accepted by many people may not be facts C. being good at going outside the box means creativity D. practising solving puzzles does help to think differently 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了20世纪70年代，一位名叫Guilford的心理学家进行了一项著名的关于创造力的研究，名为“九点谜题”，这让Guilford得出了一个笼统的结论：创造力需要你跳出框框。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In the research, Guilford asked participators (参与者) to connect all nine dots with at most four straight lines, without lifting pencils from the paper.”可知，要求参与者在不从纸上拿起铅笔的情况下，用最多四条直线连接所有九个点，结合选项，图D符合。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The second group was told they could draw outside the virtual box. Most people think that at least 60% of the second group could solve the puzzle easily.”可知，人们预期如果参与者被告知可以在想象的边界之外画线，会有更多人解决这个谜题。故选C。 【3题详解】 主旨大意题。文章讨论了广泛认为的“超越框架思维”提升创造力的观点，并指出这一观点在解决九点谜题时并没有带来更好的问题解决能力。最后得出结论，广为接受的观点并不总是正确的。故选B。 8C What subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can't sleep well the day before a math. Some students can’t sleep well the day before a math exam.Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself.But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful. “For people who are worried about math, posture (姿势)makes a big difference,” Erik Peper from San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. That's right - sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams. Scientists tested 125 college students.They asked them to do a simple math quiz while sitting in a slumped-over (趴倒的) position, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight. Slumping over is a defensive(防御的)posture. It can cause negative(消极的) memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Peper said. Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily get some help from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported. Good posture isn’t just helpful for taking math exams. Athletes, musicians and public speakers can all benefit(得到好处) from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall, It can help you feel more confident and active and focus better. 1. According to the passage, how do some students feel when they face math? A. Cool and calm B. Sleepy C. Stressed D.Relaxed 2. How many students found it easier to do the math quiz when sitting straight? A.125 B.70 C.56 D.60 3.What do we know from the passage? A.Sitting up straight can help people feel better. B.Good posture is just helpful for taking math exams. C. Right posture can help students remember faster. D.Slumping over can sometimes have a good influence. 4. What is the passage mainly about? A. Who usually Slumps over. B. How to relax in an exam. C. The benefits of positive postures. D. A good way to have math tests. 5. In which part of a newspaper can you read the text? A. Travel B. Sports news C.Science D.Advertisement CBACC 9C Every month, Julia and her cousins would go for the big family meal at their grandparents' house.
