专题05 阅读理解（说明文） 主题01 人与自我 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·安康市汉阴县·期中） We had an art festival last week. Students at our school show their favorite things in handmade paper. Let’s see some of them. Ci of the Song Dynasty is very famous. Many great poets lived at that time, such as Su Shi and Li Qingzhao. Their works have been widely read. We can read different topics like love and homesickness through Ci. That is why I love it. Zhang Xiaoli I love Chinese oil-paper umbrellas not because they can protect people from rain or sunlight, but because they show the beauty of Chinese traditional culture. During the early Tang Dynasty, these umbrellas were introduced to Japan and Korea, where they became known as “Tang umbrellas”. Li Hua I like Dian Cha, a tea art from Song Dynasty. People “draw” beautiful pictures on the tea. I like it because it mixes tradition and fun together, which is very creative. Shen Bingying 1．Li Qingzhao was from________. A．Tang Dynasty B．Ming Dynasty C．Song Dynasty D．Qing Dynasty 2．Li Hua loves Chinese oil-paper umbrellas because ________. A．they became known as “Tang umbrellas” B．they were introduced to Japan and Korea C．they can protect people from rain or sunlight D．they can show the beauty of Chinese traditional culture 3．How do the students show their favourite art forms according to this text?

In school, do you rush from one subject to another? When things happen so fast, you may easily get lost in what you are doing or learning. It is important to stop yourself every now and then to think about what you’ve been doing or learning. ②Self-reflection (自我反思) means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind. By being calm and going slowly, you give your brain a chance (机会) to look at the things it has already received. Some people prefer to do the self-reflection only in their mind. Others write notes. Either method works, depending on your own learning habits. Here are some suggestions on self-reflection in your study. ③Write down some notes on the new things that you learned in the unit. Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some connections. Sometimes just stopping to think deeply allows your brain to make connections. ④Next, think about things that you are unsure of. For example, maybe you learned about a certain body system, but you’re not sure how it works together with the other body systems. Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic. ⑤Self-reflection is an essential skill for a successful student. If you have never taken the time to reflect, try it now. 1．Why should we do self-reflection? A．To make our brain more active. B．To have more activities and subjects. C．To make things happen faster and better. D．To have a better understanding of what we learned. 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Self-reflection only needs writing notes.

Workers wash, cut and cook the food first. Then people buy them and only need to heat or cook a little before eating. Why are ready-to-cook meals popular? First, people are busy. Many parents work long hours. They don’t have much time to cook. Ready-to-cook meals save time. Second, they are easy to make. Third, there are many kinds, like braised pork and gongbao chicken. But some people worry about them. They think the meals have too many additives (添加剂) . Others say they lose nutrients (营养) , like vitamins. But experts (专家) say, “If the additives meet the rules, they are safe.” And choosing meals that go bad fast is better for nutrition. How can we choose good ready-to-cook meals? Look at the food list. Pick meals with less additives. Also, check the nutrition paper. Try to avoid meals with too much oil or salt. Ready-to-cook meals help busy people, but they can’t take the place of home-cooked meals. Eating fresh vegetables with them is a good idea! 1．Which is NOT a reason for the popularity of ready-to-cook meals? A．They save time. B．They are easy to make. C．They are very cheap.

Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·榆林市·期中） Note-taking is a skill that can help you succeed in all your schoolwork. It can make you feel more confident when you are studying. Unluckily, most students don’t know how to take notes. Here is some advice. Write down key facts. If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great. You can just copy them. But different teachers have different styles (风格). For example, some teachers may focus on (关注) lots of dates and facts in class but only write the key ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down but may repeat important points. Don’t be afraid to ask. If you miss something or your teacher speaks too fast to follow, ask him or her to repeat it. You can also ask after class. Compare your notes. Comparing your notes with your classmates’ is a great way to learn. It can help you and your classmates correct (纠正) mistakes. Stay organized. Note-taking also requires organization. Keep notes for each subject in a separate (单独的)notebook so you can find everything easily when studying for a test. Good note-taking is one of the most powerful tools for a student. Start using these tips today, and you will see the difference in your next test! 1．How many pieces of advice are given in the passage? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five.

It sits in the heart of the capital city of Beijing. Thanks to skilled workers’ hard work over the past 600 years, all the wooden buildings, even doornails (门钉) are remarkable works that you are sure to enjoy with surprise. Since it was home to 24 Chinese emperors, there lie over 1.8 million pieces of art, mostly from the collection of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. As a result, it’s famous as one of the world’s largest cultural museums. After the last emperor of China left the palace, it later became a museum open to the public in 1925. Since then, the Forbidden City hasn’t been “forbidden” anymore; it is popular with both Chinese and foreign tourists. There are 17 million visitors visiting here every year, especially on national holidays and weekends, which makes it the world’s most visited museum. It is quite easy to travel to the Forbidden City because it is right next to Tian’anmen Square.

Grain Rain, the sixth and final solar term of spring, usually falls in late April. Its name comes from the ancient saying, “Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains”, showing the importance of rainfall during this period for crop growth. Grain Rain is not just about farming, it is also rich in cultural traditions. For example, in southern China, people enjoy drinking spring tea on this day. The tea is full of vitamins and is believed to help people see better and keep bad luck away. Meanwhile, in northern China, people usually eat Toona sinensis. This seasonal vegetable is known for being good for the stomach. Another interesting tradition belongs to coastal fishermen. For thousands of years, they have celebrated the Grain Rain Festival, which marks their first fishing trip of the year. During the festival, they pray for (祈祷) safety at sea and a successful fishing season. Grain Rain is more than a sign of changing seasons. It also shows the close connection between humans and nature in Chinese culture. As spring turns to summer, people follow old customs while working with nature’s rhythm (节奏). This harmony reminds us to respect the Earth’s cycles (循环), just as farmers and fishermen have done for centuries. 1．Why does the writer mention the ancient saying in Paragraph 1? A．To criticize (批评) modern farming. B．To explain the origin of the name of Grain Rain. C．To compare different types of crops. D．To describe the taste of spring tea. 2．How does the writer support the topic sentence of Paragraph 2? A．By making a comparison. B．By using a saying. C．By giving examples.

Passage 8 （25-26九年级上·渭南市韩城市·期中） In science museums, you usually see animal specimens (标本) lying silently. Now they are not quiet anymore. Thanks to AI, visitors to a museum in England can talk to them now. The museum works with an AI company so that it is possible for people and the natural world to communicate with each other. Visitors only need to use their smartphones to scan the QR codes (扫描二维码) next to the specimens to begin talking with them—either by text or voice. The animals will reply as if they’re still alive. This is a new way for people to learn about animals. The museum wants to see how this can help people connect with nature better. “This is just a try at using AI technology in natural science. Will it help people know more about the animal specimens? Will it influence people’s opinions about them? We are not sure,” said Jack Ashby, a worker of the museum. And you don’t have to speak English. The animals are multilingual. So no matter what languages you speak, the animals can talk to you in a way that’s easy for you to understand. The project engineers hope to make people care more about the biodiversity crisis (生物多样性危机). According to the most recent research, wildlife populations dropped by 69% between 1970 and 2018. Let’s hope the new technology will be both fun and helpful. The word “drop” means quickly becoming less. 1．Visitors can talk to the animal specimens by ________.

Passage 9 （25-26九年级上·渭南市高新区·期中） International Pillow (枕头) Fight Day International Pillow Fight Day is held every year around the world—from Amsterdam, Budapest, to New York. It has been celebrated since 2008. Hundreds of people go out with their pillows, hitting each other’s face, back, and chest (胸). People dress up as superheroes and animals, laughing and fighting. The festival used to be a game to release (释放) energy and stress. Nowadays, besides bringing fun, International Pillow Fight Day has become a way to quickly collect pillows for the homeless. In 2014, about 2,000 pillows were collected for the poor in the Bronx and Brooklyn. ★Rules: Bring your own pillows and don’t hit anyone without a pillow or with a camera. ★The Guinness World Record: The latest record of the largest pillow fight was set on May 18th, 2018, in Minnesota, the US, with 7,681 people. 1．When did people first celebrate International Pillow Fight Day?

Passage 10 （25-26九年级上·汉中市南郑区·期中） Chen Yuxuan, a 16-year-old student from Shenzhen Middle School, has won the top prize at the International Youth Science Competition for his invention “Smart Plant Box”. His invention helps plants grow better in cities using solar power and AI technology. Chen’s invention can offer water and nutrients (营养物) to plants on its own based on their needs. It uses special tools to check soil conditions and a small computer to analyze the data (分析数据). The box costs about 500 yuan to make but can increase plant growth by 40%. “I want to help make cities greener,” Chen said. “Many people live in buildings without gardens, but everyone can grow plants with this box.” The young inventor spent two years developing his project. He failed over 20 times before succeeding. His science teacher, Mr. Zhang, said, “Chen doesn’t stop easily when facing problems. He always tries again and often works in the lab until very late to make his invention better.” Besides, Chen’s parents backed his research by turning their balcony into a testing area. Over 1,000 students from 50 countries joined the competition. Chen even won international attention. The judges (评委) spoke highly of Chen’s invention, “It can be widely used in daily life and it is environmentally friendly.” Chen plans to improve his invention and hopes to study environmental science at university. “I believe technology can help solve environmental problems,” he told reporters. 1．What is the main purpose of Chen Yuxuan’s invention?

You might have noticed we are always saying “please” “thank you” “excuse me” and “sorry”. When making a request, you ask someone to do something for you. ______ Sometimes, you might make a request, and that request can be difficult for the other person to do. So it is necessary to make sure that you are being polite when making a request. To do this, you might include some words such as “can” “could” or “please” to soften (使温和) your approach. They may make it look like you are asking a question instead of making a request. For example, if you are in a restaurant and say “I want the bill (账单)” to the waiter, your request is very direct. You might use this kind of language if you are angry or have had very bad service. So you might consider speaking like this: “Can I have the bill, please?” “Could I possibly have the bill, please?” We can also use polite language to ask for permission (准许). For example, just sitting down next to someone without asking might be considered a bit forward (鲁莽的). Then you can ask for permission first, like: “Would it be OK if I sat here?” “Do you mind if I sit here?” 1．What is the best sentence for “______”? A．However, it may sound like a bad idea.

Passage 12 （25-26九年级上·西安市·期中） The Paris 2024 Olympic Games began on July 26th, 2024, in France. China sent 405 players to the Games, competing in 236 events across 30 sports. While Chinese players worked hard to win honor (荣誉) for the country, many “Made in China” products also drew global attention. Ping-pong balls The 35,000 balls, which were used as the official balls, were provided by the Chinese company Double Fish. These balls must go through 15 checks before reaching Paris. They met higher standards (标准) than required internationally in roundness, hardness, weight and so on. Only three to five balls out of every 100 were picked for the Olympic Games. Judo mats The Taishan Sports Industry Group in Shandong Province has long provided judo mats for the Olympics. For the first time, smart chips (智能芯片) were put into these mats. Along with other high technologies, these chips could collect real-time information such as movement strength, speed, and more. This information provided better guidance for players during review. Other products About 80% of the dolls of the mascot (吉祥物) were from Chinese factories, along with other Olympics-related products such as cheering sticks. In the Olympic Village, players could relax on 3,000 sets of lazy sofas produced by a factory in Zhejiang Province. These sofas were filled with recyclable materials* and they were both waterproof** and fireproof. *The expression “recyclable material” means materials that can be processed and used again. **The word “waterproof” means cannot be broken by water. 1．What can we learn about Double Fish Company from Paragraph 2?

Looking great in photos is an art form in itself. And you may always keep your pose before the camera, “Say cheese”. Why do people say cheese? The idea of “cheesing” in photos first appeared around the 1940s. While no one knows exactly who came up with it, most believe the word itself makes you smile. The “ch” sound causes you to show your teeth, and the long “ee” sound parts your lips, making your smile pretty. Back in the 19th century, only a few people smiled in photographs. Everyone else kept their faces expressionless, which was considered polite and dignified at the time. What’s more, it took several minutes for the cameras to shoot the photograph. As you can imagine, it was hard to stay still for that long, let alone hold a smile. However, the trend (趋势) of these expressionless photos didn’t last for long. The invention of new cameras in the 1900s allowed more and more “everyday” moments to be recorded in photos. Therefore, smiling in photographs became the rule, and so did saying “cheese”. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving an example. C．By asking a question. D．By using an old saying. 2．What does the underlined word “dignified” mean? A．Impolite. B．Shy. C．Lively. D．Serious. 3．What mainly increased the popularity of “saying cheese” during photographing? A．The technological progress. B．The beauty of smiling. C．The changing opinions. D．The traditional trend. Passage 14 （25-26九年级上·渭南市高新区·期中） “I don’t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Zhang Hua, a middle school student in Guangzhou. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were at your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children’s eyes? One of the biggest problems is when someone becomes a parent, he or she likes worrying about things. They worry about everything about you from the time you were born. They do a lot for you though something would make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends, food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily. So how can you make things easier on your own? It’s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone them if you stay somewhere late so that your parents won’t call everyone you know to look for you. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility (责任) for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you. Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practicing being parents and need help. Some day, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you know how to get on with your children. 1．The writer thinks one of the biggest problems for parents is to ________.

Middle schools are going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won’t only have high marks. They should not dye (染) their hair, smoke or drink because they are students. The following are some of the new rules. Have you ever copied someone else’s work in an exam? Don’t do that again!

The Chinese believe in the unity of man and nature, a basic way to their philosophy (哲学) of life. Most traditional Chinese festivals build a right order of relationships among humans. They are also celebrated for nature. The ancient Chinese never placed themselves above nature. Zhuangzi, for example, believed “Heaven (天) and earth are parents to all things in the world”. The beauty of nature is to “give birth to all things” and “let all things grow”, while the duty of humans is to “make all things perfect”. Heaven, earth, and humans should be one in unity. Each of the three has its own way. They are necessary to each other, so they should treat each other with kindness. The idea of unity of man and nature has been in the heart of Chinese people. It encourages modern Chinese to take action to protect natural environment. In most provinces of China, some rules have been made to reduce pollution. Many power stations that produce and provide safe and clean electricity have been built. The power is from water, wind, and sunlight. The Chinese, especially the young, like protecting the natural environment. China is now working with all other countries to make the earth a better place to live. 1．What are most traditional Chinese festivals about? A．History. B．Nature. C．Story. D．Sky. 2．What does Zhuangzi think the duty of humans is? A．To give birth to all things. B．To let all things grow. C．To make all things perfect.

A．the sun’s importance B．man’s biggest dream C．nature’s power D．the relationship between man and nature Passage 17 （25-26九年级上·汉中市勉县·期中） Many Canadian kids woke up to the smell of wildfire smoke last summer. Some are wondering: Is it dangerous? How can I protect myself? CBC Kids News talked to two children’s lung (肺部) experts, Tom Kovesi and Dan Hughes, to find out how kids can stay safe. Is wildfire smoke dangerous? For most people, the more time they spend outdoors, the worse they will get, especially if you’re active outside—doing sports and other exercise. ________ “The difference between campfire smoke and wildfire smoke is that wildfire smoke is harder to avoid, Hughes said.” When you’re camping, you typically don’t stay in front of a fire for too long, he said. “And if it’s really smoky, you’d probably sit upwind from the smoke or take a break.” Wildfire smoke, on the other hand, is everywhere. Stay inside to stay safe. Both Kovesi and Hughes agree that the best thing for kids to do is to stay inside when wildfire smoke is in the air. “This is not the time to go jogging, play soccer, or do other sports,” Hughes said. “Those activities require you to breathe harder and deeper, which gives you a greater exposure (暴露) to the smoke.” Other steps you can take. It’s best to close your windows and doors when inside. You can also use an air conditioner (空调), if you have one, to filter (过滤) the air more. Kovesi said that masks can also help lower the risk a little, particularly N95 masks. But they need to be worn correctly. 1．What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1? A．To tell us a story. B．To lead into the topic. C．To describe a fact. D．To ask some questions. 2．What sentence should be put into the “________”? A．Where is campfire smoke from?

What are ultra-processed foods (UPFs)? In short, we can’t re-create them in our kitchen. They are usually made in factories. They have long lists of additives (添加剂) — some we may never have heard of. The study shows that people may be very crazy about such food. We usually can’t stop eating it, or we may feel sad. But why do UPFs make us want to keep eating them all the time? Usually, natural foods are either high in sugar or high in fat. UPFs, however, are usually high in both. It makes us feel happier and want to eat more. It is said that 14 percent of adults and 12 percent of children are crazy about UPFs. However, they cause problems to people’s health around the world. Eating too many UPFs will lead to a poor diet and increase the risks of serious illness. For example, people who love UPFs are more likely to get heart disease and certain cancers. Governments are taking action right now. Some governments put taxes (税) on sugary drinks to make them more expensive, so fewer people will buy them. This idea can be used on the UPFs as well. Besides, in order to let people know the dangers of UPFs, companies should list the additives on their products. Finally, governments are asking companies to use fewer unhealthy additives in UPFs so that the food can be made healthier. 1．Which of the following is ultra-processed food? A． B． C． D． 2．If people eat too many UPFs, they ________.

If in doubt, check out the laws in more detail here: https://www.gov.sg. When using the escalator (自动扶梯) in Singapore, you should stand on the left and walk on the right.

Bottled water is widely available but it’s expensive, tap water can help you save money. Of course, there are some things that you can’t do.

While living in China for the past seven years, I’ve become interested in Chinese culture, especially ancient Chinese poems. I have also known some Chinese poets, such as Li Bai, Du Fu and so on. Today, I will talk about a poem from the Tang Dynasty by the poet He Zhizhang. Here is an English version (版本) of the poem by Xu Yuanchong, a world-famous translator of ancient Chinese poems in both English and French. Let’s take a look at his translation.

My children, whom I meet, do not know who I am. “Where are you from, dear sir?” they ask with beaming eyes. In this short poem, He Zhizhang tells a story about a visit to his birthplace. It’s been many years since the last time he was home, but he could still pick up his local accent (口音). Things did not change much, but the people did. The poet had mixed feelings about it, so he wrote this poem. Personally, this poem connects with me because it brings back memories of my own hometown.

The festival has a history of over 2,000 years. During the Warring States Period (战国时期), there was the Chongyang Festival. The name of the Chongyang Festival first appeared in the Three Kingdoms Period. During the Jin Dynasty, there were customs of enjoying chrysanthemums and drinking chrysanthemum wine on the day. It was not officially (正式地) set as a festival until the Tang Dynasty. Since then, people have spent the festival with all kinds of activities. As September has the clear sky and fresh air, it is a very good time to climb the mountain. Since the Western Han Dynasty, it has been the custom of climbing on the Chongyang Festival.

Our topic for today is Cold Dew (Hanlu). As the 17th solar term in the 24 solar terms of the Chinese lunar calendar, Cold Dew usually comes around October 8th or 9th. It marks an important change in the weather: temperatures drop further compared to White Dew, and the dew on the grass and leaves becomes colder. For ancient Chinese farmers, Cold Dew was an important time for farm work. Crops like late rice and corn needed to be harvested (收割) on time because of the colder and colder nights. At the same time, fruit trees became ripe* during this time, and their bright colors turned the countryside into a warm picture. Cold Dew also has rich cultural meanings. One traditional custom is climbing mountains. People believe that climbing high places during this time can help dispel bad luck and make their bodies stronger. Besides, drinking chrysanthemum wine is popular. Because drinking it is good for health and keeps colds away. These traditions show how Chinese people respected nature and lived in harmony with it. Today, many young people do not know much about the 24 solar terms. However, these terms are an important part of Chinese culture. They carry the wisdom of our ancestors (祖先) and help us understand the changing seasons. By learning about Cold Dew and other solar terms, we can keep this valuable tradition alive. *The word “ripe” means fruit or grain is fully grown and ready to eat. 1．Compared with White Dew, which picture shows the temperature change of Cold Dew?

The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you over, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come “around 3: 00”, that means you can arrive a little bit after 3: 00. But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time. Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you to share, or maybe a CD that you can enjoy together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his or her house. When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his or her parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary.

It is a day to make others smile, and to make sure you have a smile on your face as well. It is said that Harvey Ball, an artist from the USA, created it. It began as a bright yellow circle with two dots (圆点) and a curved (弯曲的) black line. The two dots are eyes and the curved black line is a smiling mouth. Later, Harvey came up with the idea of the smiling face for World Smile Day to make people devote (奉献) one day each year to smiles and kind acts. The theme of the festival is “Do an act of kindness. Help one person smile.” There are a number of things you can do on that day to make people around you smile. You can give a small gift to your friend, offer your seat to people in need on the bus, etc. Or you can surprise someone in your family with a gift, by cooking a meal for them, or doing something special for them.

Passage 15 （25-26九年级上·咸阳市泾阳县·期中） “Life is short, but there is always time enough for courtesy (礼貌).” —— Ralph Waldo Emerson People love being polite. You might have noticed we are always saying “please”, “thank you”, “excuse me”, and “sorry”. In our daily life, we often ask someone to do something for us. ▲ Sometimes, your request can be difficult for the other persons to do. So it is necessary to be polite when making a request. To do this, you might say some words such as “can”, “could”, or “please” to make your expression nicer. They may make it look like you are asking a question instead of making a request. But don’t worry — the listener will understand you. For example, if you are in a restaurant and say “I want the bill (账单)” to the waiter, your request will be considered very directly. You might use this kind of language if you are angry because they have had very bad service. However, if you wish to sound polite, you might consider speaking like this: “Can I have the bill, please?” or “Could I possibly have the bill, please?” We can also use polite language to ask for permission (准许). For example, if you want to sit down next to someone, you can ask for permission first. For example, “Do you mind if I sit here?” In the daily life, if you really need help, being polite is quite necessary. 1．What is the best sentence for “ ▲ ”? A．However, it may not be so polite. B．However, it may sound like a stupid idea. C．However, it may start a fight between two friends. D．However, it may make you fail to show your feelings. 2．What may a person mean if he says “I want the bill” in a restaurant? A．He is not happy with the service. B．He and the waiter are close friends. C．He is trying to make himself sound polite. D．He is considering inviting his friends here. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．“Excuse me” is not a polite word mentioned in the passage. B．It’s not important to be polite when asking someone for easy help. C．Words like “can” and “could” can make a request sound less direct. D．The listener will not understand your request if you use polite language. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．How to Behave in a Restaurant B．Stop Making requests C．Get Along Well with Friends D．Be Polite with Your Words 主题03 人与自然 Passage 16 （25-26九年级上·汉中市洋县·期中） Charles Darwin was a British scientist. He lived from 1809 to 1882. He studied plants and animals and did many experiments (实验). Darwin’s work on insectivorous (食虫的) plants began by accident. In the summer of 1860, he stayed in Hartfield, Sussex on holiday. He often went for long walks in the forest and became interested in the common sundew. Here is one of the pages from his diary. Can plants kill flies? I found some sundew plants with many insects on them. I decided to examine them more carefully. I examined 12 plants and found 31 dead insects, or parts of their bodies. Some leaves caught several insects. The sundew plant caught flies (苍蝇) much more often than other insects. I want to do some experiments. I don’t know what I’ll find out. Experiment 1 I put several items in the center of each leaf. The tentacles on the leaves always moved toward the items. The speed was not always the same. Why? Experiment 2 I found a fly on a sundew leaf. The fly could not get away from it. The fly was on one side of the leaf. The tentacles on that side closed around the fly and killed it.

In school, do you rush from one subject to another? When things happen so fast, you may easily get lost in what you are doing or learning. It is important to stop yourself every now and then to think about what you’ve been doing or learning. ②Self-reflection (自我反思) means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind. By being calm and going slowly, you give your brain a chance (机会) to look at the things it has already received. Some people prefer to do the self-reflection only in their mind. Others write notes. Either method works, depending on your own learning habits. Here are some suggestions on self-reflection in your study. ③Write down some notes on the new things that you learned in the unit. Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some connections. Sometimes just stopping to think deeply allows your brain to make connections. ④Next, think about things that you are unsure of. For example, maybe you learned about a certain body system, but you’re not sure how it works together with the other body systems. Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic. ⑤Self-reflection is an essential skill for a successful student. If you have never taken the time to reflect, try it now. 1．Why should we do self-reflection? A．To make our brain more active. B．To have more activities and subjects.

It can make you feel more confident when you are studying. Unluckily, most students don’t know how to take notes. Here is some advice. Write down key facts. If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great. You can just copy them. But different teachers have different styles (风格). For example, some teachers may focus on (关注) lots of dates and facts in class but only write the key ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down but may repeat important points. Don’t be afraid to ask. If you miss something or your teacher speaks too fast to follow, ask him or her to repeat it. You can also ask after class. Compare your notes. Comparing your notes with your classmates’ is a great way to learn. It can help you and your classmates correct (纠正) mistakes. Stay organized. Note-taking also requires organization. Keep notes for each subject in a separate (单独的)notebook so you can find everything easily when studying for a test. Good note-taking is one of the most powerful tools for a student.

Grain Rain, the sixth and final solar term of spring, usually falls in late April. Its name comes from the ancient saying, “Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains”, showing the importance of rainfall during this period for crop growth. Grain Rain is not just about farming, it is also rich in cultural traditions. For example, in southern China, people enjoy drinking spring tea on this day. The tea is full of vitamins and is believed to help people see better and keep bad luck away. Meanwhile, in northern China, people usually eat Toona sinensis. This seasonal vegetable is known for being good for the stomach. Another interesting tradition belongs to coastal fishermen. For thousands of years, they have celebrated the Grain Rain Festival, which marks their first fishing trip of the year. During the festival, they pray for (祈祷) safety at sea and a successful fishing season. Grain Rain is more than a sign of changing seasons. It also shows the close connection between humans and nature in Chinese culture. As spring turns to summer, people follow old customs while working with nature’s rhythm (节奏). This harmony reminds us to respect the Earth’s cycles (循环), just as farmers and fishermen have done for centuries. 1．Why does the writer mention the ancient saying in Paragraph 1? A．To criticize (批评) modern farming. B．To explain the origin of the name of Grain Rain. C．To compare different types of crops. D．To describe the taste of spring tea. 2．How does the writer support the topic sentence of Paragraph 2? A．By making a comparison. B．By using a saying. C．By giving examples. D．By listing numbers. 3．What can we infer about coastal fishermen? A．They dislike sunny days. B．They prefer farming to fishing. C．They never celebrate any festivals. D．They care about natural cycles. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 【详解】 1．根据文章第一段“Its name comes from the ancient saying, ‘Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains’, showing the importance of rainfall during this period for crop growth.”可知，作者引用古语是为了解释“谷雨”名称的由来。 2．根据文章第二段“For example, in southern China, people enjoy drinking spring tea on this day...This seasonal vegetable is known for being good for the stomach.”可知，作者是通过举例来支持本段的主题句的。 3．根据文章第三段“For thousands of years, they have celebrated the Grain Rain Festival, which marks their first fishing trip of the year”和文章第四段“This harmony reminds us to respect the Earth’s cycles, just as farmers and fishermen have done for centuries”可以推断，沿海渔民重视自然周期。 Passage 8 （25-26九年级上·渭南市韩城市·期中） In science museums, you usually see animal specimens (标本) lying silently. Now they are not quiet anymore. Thanks to AI, visitors to a museum in England can talk to them now. The museum works with an AI company so that it is possible for people and the natural world to communicate with each other. Visitors only need to use their smartphones to scan the QR codes (扫描二维码) next to the specimens to begin talking with them—either by text or voice. The animals will reply as if they’re still alive. This is a new way for people to learn about animals. The museum wants to see how this can help people connect with nature better. “This is just a try at using AI technology in natural science. Will it help people know more about the animal specimens? Will it influence people’s opinions about them? We are not sure,” said Jack Ashby, a worker of the museum. And you don’t have to speak English. The animals are multilingual. So no matter what languages you speak, the animals can talk to you in a way that’s easy for you to understand. The project engineers hope to make people care more about the biodiversity crisis (生物多样性危机). According to the most recent research, wildlife populations dropped by 69% between 1970 and 2018. Let’s hope the new technology will be both fun and helpful. The word “drop” means quickly becoming less. 1．Visitors can talk to the animal specimens by ________. A．touching the specimens B．scanning the QR codes with smartphones C．speaking to museum workers D．watching videos about animals 2．What does the underlined word “multilingual” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Being able to speak many languages. B．Being able to move like real animals. C．Being able to answer difficult questions. D．Being able to sing beautiful songs. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Visitors can talk to specimens in an American museum. B．Visitors can talk with animal specimens either by text or voice. C．AI cannot help people know more about the animal specimens. D．Wildlife populations dropped by 79% between 1970 and 2018. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 【详解】 1．根据文章第二段第二句“Visitors only need to use their smartphones to scan the QR codes (扫描二维码) next to the specimens to begin talking with them—either by text or voice.”可知，游客只需用智能手机扫描二维码即可开始与标本交谈。 2．根据第五段内容“And you don’t have to speak English. The animals are multilingual. So no matter what languages you speak, the animals can talk to you in a way that’s easy for you to understand.”可知，游客不必说英语，无论说什么语言动物都能交流，由此推断multilingual意为“能说多种语言的”。 3．根据第二段“Visitors only need to use their smartphones to scan the QR codes (扫描二维码) next to the specimens to begin talking with them—either by text or voice.”可知，游客可以通过文字或语音与标本交流。 Passage 9 （25-26九年级上·渭南市高新区·期中） International Pillow (枕头) Fight Day International Pillow Fight Day is held every year around the world—from Amsterdam, Budapest, to New York. It has been celebrated since 2008. Hundreds of people go out with their pillows, hitting each other’s face, back, and chest (胸). People dress up as superheroes and animals, laughing and fighting. The festival used to be a game to release (释放) energy and stress. Nowadays, besides bringing fun, International Pillow Fight Day has become a way to quickly collect pillows for the homeless. In 2014, about 2,000 pillows were collected for the poor in the Bronx and Brooklyn. ★Rules: Bring your own pillows and don’t hit anyone without a pillow or with a camera. ★The Guinness World Record: The latest record of the largest pillow fight was set on May 18th, 2018, in Minnesota, the US, with 7,681 people. 1．When did people first celebrate International Pillow Fight Day?

D．International Pillow Fight Day was a game to release energy and stress in the past. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据“It has been celebrated since 2008.”可知，国际枕头大战日自2008年起开始庆祝，所以人们第一次庆祝国际枕头大战日是在2008年。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Nowadays, besides bringing fun, International Pillow Fight Day has become a way to quickly collect pillows for the homeless.”可知，如今，国际枕头大战日除了带来乐趣外，还成为了一种为无家可归者快速收集枕头的方式。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“In 2014, about 2,000 pillows were collected for the poor in the Bronx and Brooklyn.”可知，2014年，人们为布朗克斯区和布鲁克林区的穷人收集了大约2000个枕头，而不是卖给穷人。所以C项“People sold about 2,000 pillows to the poor in 2014.”这一说法错误。故选C。 Passage 10 （25-26九年级上·汉中市南郑区·期中） Chen Yuxuan, a 16-year-old student from Shenzhen Middle School, has won the top prize at the International Youth Science Competition for his invention “Smart Plant Box”.

You might have noticed we are always saying “please” “thank you” “excuse me” and “sorry”. When making a request, you ask someone to do something for you. ______ Sometimes, you might make a request, and that request can be difficult for the other person to do. So it is necessary to make sure that you are being polite when making a request. To do this, you might include some words such as “can” “could” or “please” to soften (使温和) your approach. They may make it look like you are asking a question instead of making a request. For example, if you are in a restaurant and say “I want the bill (账单)” to the waiter, your request is very direct. You might use this kind of language if you are angry or have had very bad service. So you might consider speaking like this: “Can I have the bill, please?” “Could I possibly have the bill, please?” We can also use polite language to ask for permission (准许). For example, just sitting down next to someone without asking might be considered a bit forward (鲁莽的). Then you can ask for permission first, like: “Would it be OK if I sat here?” “Do you mind if I sit here?” 1．What is the best sentence for “______”? A．However, it may sound like a bad idea. B．However, it may not help them in any way. C．However, it may hurt other people’s feelings. D．However, it may start a fight between two friends. 2．The underlined word “approach” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.

D．By showing numbers. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 【详解】 1．推理判断题。根据“…and that request can be difficult for the other person to do. So it is necessary to make sure that you are being polite…”可知，请求有时会给对方带来困难，因此需注意礼貌，避免伤害他人感受。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“…include some words such as ‘can’ ‘could’ or ‘please’ to soften your approach.”可知，加入“can”“could”或“please”等词语可以使你的表达方式更温和，因此“approach”在此意为“方式、方法”。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“For example, just sitting down next to someone without asking might be considered a bit forward. Then you can ask for permission first, like…”可知，作者通过举例说明如何礼貌地征求许可。故选B。 Passage 12 （25-26九年级上·西安市·期中） The Paris 2024 Olympic Games began on July 26th, 2024, in France. China sent 405 players to the Games, competing in 236 events across 30 sports. While Chinese players worked hard to win honor (荣誉) for the country, many “Made in China” products also drew global attention. Ping-pong balls The 35,000 balls, which were used as the official balls, were provided by the Chinese company Double Fish. These balls must go through 15 checks before reaching Paris. They met higher standards (标准) than required internationally in roundness, hardness, weight and so on. Only three to five balls out of every 100 were picked for the Olympic Games. Judo mats The Taishan Sports Industry Group in Shandong Province has long provided judo mats for the Olympics. For the first time, smart chips (智能芯片) were put into these mats. Along with other high technologies, these chips could collect real-time information such as movement strength, speed, and more. This information provided better guidance for players during review. Other products About 80% of the dolls of the mascot (吉祥物) were from Chinese factories, along with other Olympics-related products such as cheering sticks. In the Olympic Village, players could relax on 3,000 sets of lazy sofas produced by a factory in Zhejiang Province. These sofas were filled with recyclable materials* and they were both waterproof** and fireproof. *The expression “recyclable material” means materials that can be processed and used again. **The word “waterproof” means cannot be broken by water. 1．What can we learn about Double Fish Company from Paragraph 2? A．The strict rules for choosing the Olympic ping-pong balls. B．The importance of meeting the Olympic Games’ standards. C．The process of making the ping-pong balls for the Olympics.

Only three to five balls out of every 100 were picked for the Olympic Games.”可知，本段主要介绍了双鱼公司为奥运会挑选乒乓球的严格规则，包括乒乓球在圆度、硬度、重量等方面要达到比国际标准更高的要求，每100个球中只有3到5个能被选为奥运会用球。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Along with other high technologies, these chips could collect real-time information such as movement strength, speed, and more. This information provided better guidance for players during review.”可知，柔道垫放入智能芯片后，这些芯片可以收集运动员的动作力度、速度等实时信息，这些信息在回顾时为运动员提供了更好的指导，即收集信息给运动员建议。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“In the Olympic Village, players could relax on 3,000 sets of lazy sofas produced by a factory in Zhejiang Province. These sofas were filled with recyclable materials* and they were both waterproof** and fireproof.”可知，在奥运村，运动员们可以在浙江省一家工厂生产的3000套懒人沙发上放松，这些沙发填充了可回收材料，它们防水且防火，所以“they”指代的是前文提到的“lazy sofas（懒人沙发）”。故选B。 Passage 13 （25-26九年级上·安康市·期中） What do you usually hear when taking photos? Looking great in photos is an art form in itself. And you may always keep your pose before the camera, “Say cheese”. Why do people say cheese? The idea of “cheesing” in photos first appeared around the 1940s. While no one knows exactly who came up with it, most believe the word itself makes you smile. The “ch” sound causes you to show your teeth, and the long “ee” sound parts your lips, making your smile pretty. Back in the 19th century, only a few people smiled in photographs. Everyone else kept their faces expressionless, which was considered polite and dignified at the time. What’s more, it took several minutes for the cameras to shoot the photograph. As you can imagine, it was hard to stay still for that long, let alone hold a smile. However, the trend (趋势) of these expressionless photos didn’t last for long. The invention of new cameras in the 1900s allowed more and more “everyday” moments to be recorded in photos. Therefore, smiling in photographs became the rule, and so did saying “cheese”. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving an example. C．By asking a question. D．By using an old saying. 2．What does the underlined word “dignified” mean? A．Impolite. B．Shy. C．Lively. D．Serious. 3．What mainly increased the popularity of “saying cheese” during photographing? A．The technological progress. B．The beauty of smiling. C．The changing opinions. D．The traditional trend. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据“What do you usually hear when taking photos?”可知作者通过提问“拍照时你通常听到什么？”来开始这篇文章。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Back in the 19th century, only a few people smiled in photographs. Everyone else kept their faces expressionless, which was considered polite and dignified at the time.”可知在19世纪，只有少数人在照片中微笑，其他人则面无表情，这被认为是礼貌和严肃的，所以dignified的意思是“严肃的”，和serious意义相近。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“The invention of new cameras in the 1900s allowed more and more ‘everyday’ moments to be recorded in photos. Therefore, smiling in photographs became the rule, and so did saying ‘cheese’.”可知20世纪新相机的发明使得越来越多的“日常”时刻可以被记录在照片中，因此拍照时微笑和说“cheese”成为了惯例，即技术进步增加了拍照时说“cheese”的流行度。故选A。 Passage 14 （25-26九年级上·渭南市高新区·期中） “I don’t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Zhang Hua, a middle school student in Guangzhou. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were at your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children’s eyes? One of the biggest problems is when someone becomes a parent, he or she likes worrying about things. They worry about everything about you from the time you were born. They do a lot for you though something would make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends, food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily. So how can you make things easier on your own? It’s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone them if you stay somewhere late so that your parents won’t call everyone you know to look for you. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility (责任) for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you. Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practicing being parents and need help. Some day, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you know how to get on with your children. 1．The writer thinks one of the biggest problems for parents is to ________.

Middle schools are going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won’t only have high marks. They should not dye (染) their hair, smoke or drink because they are students. The following are some of the new rules. Have you ever copied someone else’s work in an exam? Don’t do that again! That’s not something an honest student should do. Do more at school. Good students love animals and tend to other people. April is Bird-Loving Month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate it? You should join! And you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. Be friendly to the people around you. Try to think of others, not only yourself. Be open to new ideas. Do you think people can live on the moon? Maybe you’ll find another earth someday. Don’t look down on new ideas. Everyone’s ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone. Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don’t let it happen to you. If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know. Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for students.

Try to think of others, not only yourself.”可知，好学生喜爱动物并关心他人。此处“tend to”意为“关心”，与D选项“look after”意思相近。 2．根据最后一段“The Internet can be very useful for students. But some things on the Internet aren’t for children, so try to look at web pages that are good for you.”可知，适合儿童的好网页可以帮助他们学习。 3．根据第二段“Have you ever copied someone else’s work in an exam?

The Chinese believe in the unity of man and nature, a basic way to their philosophy (哲学) of life. Most traditional Chinese festivals build a right order of relationships among humans. They are also celebrated for nature. The ancient Chinese never placed themselves above nature. Zhuangzi, for example, believed “Heaven (天) and earth are parents to all things in the world”. The beauty of nature is to “give birth to all things” and “let all things grow”, while the duty of humans is to “make all things perfect”. Heaven, earth, and humans should be one in unity. Each of the three has its own way. They are necessary to each other, so they should treat each other with kindness. The idea of unity of man and nature has been in the heart of Chinese people. It encourages modern Chinese to take action to protect natural environment. In most provinces of China, some rules have been made to reduce pollution. Many power stations that produce and provide safe and clean electricity have been built. The power is from water, wind, and sunlight. The Chinese, especially the young, like protecting the natural environment. China is now working with all other countries to make the earth a better place to live. 1．What are most traditional Chinese festivals about? A．History. B．Nature. C．Story. D．Sky. 2．What does Zhuangzi think the duty of humans is? A．To give birth to all things. B．To let all things grow. C．To make all things perfect. D．To fight with nature. 3．The passage is mainly about ________. A．the sun’s importance B．man’s biggest dream C．nature’s power D．the relationship between man and nature 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 【详解】 1．第一段点明：Most traditional Chinese festivals build a right order of relationships among humans. They are also celebrated for nature，直接说明多数中国传统节日和“自然”相关。 2．第二段给出庄子的观点：while the duty of humans is to “make all things perfect”，明确人类的职责是“make all things perfect”，“孕育万物”是大自然的使命。 3．全文围绕“The unity of man and nature（天人合一）”展开，通篇讲解人与自然的关联。 Passage 17 （25-26九年级上·汉中市勉县·期中） Many Canadian kids woke up to the smell of wildfire smoke last summer. Some are wondering: Is it dangerous? How can I protect myself? CBC Kids News talked to two children’s lung (肺部) experts, Tom Kovesi and Dan Hughes, to find out how kids can stay safe. Is wildfire smoke dangerous? For most people, the more time they spend outdoors, the worse they will get, especially if you’re active outside—doing sports and other exercise. ________ “The difference between campfire smoke and wildfire smoke is that wildfire smoke is harder to avoid, Hughes said.” When you’re camping, you typically don’t stay in front of a fire for too long, he said. “And if it’s really smoky, you’d probably sit upwind from the smoke or take a break.” Wildfire smoke, on the other hand, is everywhere. Stay inside to stay safe. Both Kovesi and Hughes agree that the best thing for kids to do is to stay inside when wildfire smoke is in the air. “This is not the time to go jogging, play soccer, or do other sports,” Hughes said. “Those activities require you to breathe harder and deeper, which gives you a greater exposure (暴露) to the smoke.” Other steps you can take. It’s best to close your windows and doors when inside. You can also use an air conditioner (空调), if you have one, to filter (过滤) the air more. Kovesi said that masks can also help lower the risk a little, particularly N95 masks. But they need to be worn correctly. 1．What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1? A．To tell us a story. B．To lead into the topic. C．To describe a fact. D．To ask some questions. 2．What sentence should be put into the “________”? A．Where is campfire smoke from? B．How is campfire smoke different from wildfire smoke? C．How can we stop wildfire smoke? D．Why is wildfire smoke harder to avoid? 3．Which of the following is the right way to stay safe from wildfire smoke? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 【详解】 1．第一段以“Many Canadian kids woke up to the smell of wildfire smoke last summer.”引出话题，并说明采访专家是为了解答孩子们的疑问，因此作用是引入话题。 2．空白处位于第四段，后文提到“Wildfire smoke is harder to avoid”，对比了篝火烟雾和野火烟雾的不同（野火烟雾无处不在，而篝火烟雾可以避开），因此应填“How is campfire smoke different from wildfire smoke?”。 3．根据文章“Stay inside to stay safe”及“Other steps you can take”部分可知，正确做法包括“stay inside”、“close windows and doors”、“use air conditioner”、“wear N95 masks”。选项A“戴口罩”符合。 主题01 人与自我 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·汉中市南郑区·期中） A recent study in a British medical magazine shows that many kinds of foods we enjoy, such as chips, cookies, and ice cream, are all ultra-processed (超加工的). What are ultra-processed foods (UPFs)? In short, we can’t re-create them in our kitchen. They are usually made in factories. They have long lists of additives (添加剂) — some we may never have heard of. The study shows that people may be very crazy about such food. We usually can’t stop eating it, or we may feel sad. But why do UPFs make us want to keep eating them all the time? Usually, natural foods are either high in sugar or high in fat. UPFs, however, are usually high in both. It makes us feel happier and want to eat more. It is said that 14 percent of adults and 12 percent of children are crazy about UPFs. However, they cause problems to people’s health around the world. Eating too many UPFs will lead to a poor diet and increase the risks of serious illness. For example, people who love UPFs are more likely to get heart disease and certain cancers. Governments are taking action right now. Some governments put taxes (税) on sugary drinks to make them more expensive, so fewer people will buy them. This idea can be used on the UPFs as well. Besides, in order to let people know the dangers of UPFs, companies should list the additives on their products. Finally, governments are asking companies to use fewer unhealthy additives in UPFs so that the food can be made healthier. 1．Which of the following is ultra-processed food? A． B． C． D． 2．If people eat too many UPFs, they ________. A．can solve their diet problems B．will find it easier to lose weight C．can get heart disease more easily D．will naturally prefer natural foods 3．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Only 12 percent of adults are crazy about UPFs. B．Governments are taking action to deal with UPFs. C．UPFs are healthier because they make people happy. D．Taxes on sugary drinks make people buy more of them. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 【详解】 1．根据第一段"many kinds of foods we enjoy, such as chips, cookies, and ice cream, are all ultra-processed"，冰淇淋属于超加工食品。故选D。 2．根据原文第三段“Eating too many UPFs will lead to a poor diet and increase the risks of serious illness. For example, people who love UPFs are more likely to get heart disease and certain cancers.”可知，过量食用超加工食品会增加患严重疾病的风险，且超加工食品爱好者更易得心脏病和部分癌症。 3．根据原文第四段“Governments are taking action right now. Some governments put taxes on sugary drinks…Finally, governments are asking companies to use fewer unhealthy additives in UPFs…”可知，政府正在采取行动应对超加工食品问题。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·咸阳市礼泉县·期中） The Healthy Eating Plate (盘子) shows us four food groups.

The country is famous for cleanliness and order which come from strict expectations about public behaviour (行为). Now, we’ve put together a list of “dos and don’ts”. If in doubt, check out the laws in more detail here: https://www.gov.sg. When using the escalator (自动扶梯) in Singapore, you should stand on the left and walk on the right. Singapore also provides separate cycling and walking paths, so you should make sure you walk on the right paths. Although Singapore has taken up a large number of new technologies into daily life, many areas still see the value of cash (现金). So having cash in hand is essential. For example, some smaller neighbourhood shops may prefer customers to pay cash. In Singapore, the first thing you need to do is get some tap water (自来水). Bottled water is widely available but it’s expensive, tap water can help you save money. Of course, there are some things that you can’t do. In Singapore, for example, the sale and import of chewing gum (口香糖) is not allowed. To keep public transportation clean, Singapore also has strict rules on behaviour while riding. The picture above is a good example. Singapore officials and locals take their rules very seriously, which makes their country clean and enjoyable for people from around the world. 1．Singapore is famous for its ________. A．cleanliness and order B．tap water C．using cash D．no smoking 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2? A．You can stand on both sides while using the escalator.

For example, some smaller neighbourhood shops may prefer customers to pay cash.”结合例子可知，在新加坡一些小商店更喜欢现金，因此essential意为“必需的”，与Necessary同义。 4．文章面向游客，介绍新加坡出行规则，还附政府查询网址，可推断属于旅游网站内容。 Passage 6 （25-26九年级上·咸阳市兴平市·期中） Welcome to Classic Reading. I’m your host, Jordan. While living in China for the past seven years, I’ve become interested in Chinese culture, especially ancient Chinese poems. I have also known some Chinese poets, such as Li Bai, Du Fu and so on. Today, I will talk about a poem from the Tang Dynasty by the poet He Zhizhang. Here is an English version (版本) of the poem by Xu Yuanchong, a world-famous translator of ancient Chinese poems in both English and French. Let’s take a look at his translation. Old, I return to the homeland I left while young. Thinner has grown my hair, though I speak the same tongue. My children, whom I meet, do not know who I am. “Where are you from, dear sir?” they ask with beaming eyes. In this short poem, He Zhizhang tells a story about a visit to his birthplace. It’s been many years since the last time he was home, but he could still pick up his local accent (口音). Things did not change much, but the people did. The poet had mixed feelings about it, so he wrote this poem. Personally, this poem connects with me because it brings back memories of my own hometown. No matter where I live or for how long I’ve been away, my hometown and family will always have a special place in my heart. I hope you can enjoy this poem as much as I do. See you next time! 1．Who translated the poem into English? A．He Zhizhang. B．Li Bai. C．Xu Yuanchong. D．Jordan. 2．What may be the name of the poem mentioned in the text? A．Home-coming.

A．a world-famous translator B．an ancient Chinese poem C．the importance of ancient poems D．the host’s interest in Chinese culture 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 【详解】 1．根据第二段第一句“Here is an English version (版本) of the poem by Xu Yuanchong, a world-famous translator of ancient Chinese poems in both English and French.”可知，这首唐诗是由世界著名翻译家许渊冲翻译成英文的。 2．根据文中给出的译文内容“Old, I return to the homeland I left while young.”（少小离家老大回）以及后文的“My children, whom I meet, do not know who I am.”（儿童相见不相识）等诗句可知，这首古诗是唐代诗人贺知章的经典著作《回乡偶书》，讲述的是作者告老还乡、重回故土时的见闻与感慨。 3．根据第四段第一句“Personally, this poem connects with me because it brings back memories of my own hometown.”可知，主持人喜欢这首诗是因为它能唤起他对自己故乡的美好回忆。 4．通读全文，文章在第一段开头开门见山地指出“Today, I will talk about a poem from the Tang Dynasty by the poet He Zhizhang.”，随后全文紧紧围绕这首唐诗的英文翻译、诗歌含义、历史背景以及读后感悟展开论述。因此，本文主要介绍的是一首中国古代诗歌。 Passage 7 （25-26九年级上·咸阳市三原县·期中） The Internet is useful, but it can also be bad.

In China, nine has the similar pronunciation with the word “forever”, meaning long life. So the Chinese government set the day as the Seniors’ Day in 1989. The festival has a history of over 2,000 years. During the Warring States Period (战国时期), there was the Chongyang Festival. The name of the Chongyang Festival first appeared in the Three Kingdoms Period. During the Jin Dynasty, there were customs of enjoying chrysanthemums and drinking chrysanthemum wine on the day. It was not officially (正式地) set as a festival until the Tang Dynasty. Since then, people have spent the festival with all kinds of activities.

We’ll continue our series on the 24 solar terms (节气). Our topic for today is Cold Dew (Hanlu). As the 17th solar term in the 24 solar terms of the Chinese lunar calendar, Cold Dew usually comes around October 8th or 9th. It marks an important change in the weather: temperatures drop further compared to White Dew, and the dew on the grass and leaves becomes colder. For ancient Chinese farmers, Cold Dew was an important time for farm work. Crops like late rice and corn needed to be harvested (收割) on time because of the colder and colder nights. At the same time, fruit trees became ripe* during this time, and their bright colors turned the countryside into a warm picture. Cold Dew also has rich cultural meanings. One traditional custom is climbing mountains. People believe that climbing high places during this time can help dispel bad luck and make their bodies stronger. Besides, drinking chrysanthemum wine is popular. Because drinking it is good for health and keeps colds away. These traditions show how Chinese people respected nature and lived in harmony with it. Today, many young people do not know much about the 24 solar terms. However, these terms are an important part of Chinese culture. They carry the wisdom of our ancestors (祖先) and help us understand the changing seasons. By learning about Cold Dew and other solar terms, we can keep this valuable tradition alive. *The word “ripe” means fruit or grain is fully grown and ready to eat. 1．Compared with White Dew, which picture shows the temperature change of Cold Dew? A． B． C． D． 2．Why was Cold Dew important for ancient farmers? A．Because it was the best time for farmers to plant new crops. B．Because it allowed farmers to have a break from farm work. C．Because it meant some of the crops began their harvest season. D．Because it meant more rain so farmers didn’t have to water crops. 3．The underlined word “dispel” in Paragraph 3 means “________”. A．drive away B．bring back C．give up D．take place 4．What is the main purpose (目的) of the passage? A．To introduce different kinds of activities of Cold Dew. B．To ask more people to watch Amazing China. C．To explain the cultural meanings of Cold Dew. D．To call on more people to pay attention to our culture. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It marks an important change in the weather: temperatures drop further compared to White Dew, and the dew on the grass and leaves becomes colder.”可知，与白露相比，寒露标志着气温进一步下降，草和叶子上的露水变得更冷。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“For ancient Chinese farmers, Cold Dew was an important time for farm work. Crops like late rice and corn needed to be harvested (收割) on time because of the colder and colder nights.”可知，寒露对古代农民很重要，因为一些作物开始进入收获季节。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“People believe that climbing high places during this time can help dispel bad luck and make their bodies stronger.”以及常识可知，人们认为在这个时候爬高处可以帮助驱走厄运，使身体更强壮，所以“dispel”意为“驱走，赶走”。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Today, many young people do not know much about the 24 solar terms. However, these terms are an important part of Chinese culture. They carry the wisdom of our ancestors (祖先) and help us understand the changing seasons. By learning about Cold Dew and other solar terms, we can keep this valuable tradition alive.”可知，如今，许多年轻人对二十四节气了解不多，然而，这些节气是中国文化的重要组成部分，它们承载着我们祖先的智慧，帮助我们了解季节的变化，通过了解寒露和其他节气，我们可以让这一宝贵的传统得以延续，所以文章的主要目的是呼吁更多人关注我们的文化。故选D。 Passage 10 （25-26九年级上·安康市·期中） In China, there are 24 solar terms in a year. In the traditional Chinese calendar, Qiufen, or Autumn Equinox, is the 16th solar term. It falls on September 23rd this year. Qiufen divides the season into two parts, marking the mid-point of autumn. After this day, the direct sunlight moves to the south. Days will be shorter while nights will be longer in the Northern Hemisphere (半球). For Chinese farmers, the solar term marks the joy of a big harvest (收获). China has huge lands and different climates, but the harvest season for most places happens near Qiufen, according to Xinhua. This is why in 2018, Qiufen was set as China’s Farmers’ Harvest Festival. Some British people also celebrate the harvest around Qiufen. On this day, they sing a song and put baskets of fruit and other crops. In some schools, students and teachers bring food from home for special harvest services. After that, they pack the food and provide it for those in need. 1．What can we know from Paragraph 1? A．Qiufen is the last solar term. B．Qiufen divides the year into two parts. C．After Qiufen, the direct sunlight moves to the south. D．After Qiufen, the day becomes as long as the night in China. 2．Why was Qiufen set as China’s Farmers’ Harvest Festival? A．Because it’s the coolest day.

A．It shows ways to celebrate solar terms. B．It compares China’s festivals with the British festivals. C．It talks about the 24 solar terms in China. D．It introduces some facts and traditions on the Autumn Equinox. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据“After this day, the direct sunlight moves to the south.”可知秋分之后，阳光直射点移向南方。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“China has huge lands and different climates, but the harvest season for most places happens near Qiufen, according to Xinhua. This is why in 2018, Qiufen was set as China’s Farmers’ Harvest Festival.”可知因为大部分地方的收获季节都在秋分附近，所以秋分被定为中国农民丰收节。故选B。 3．主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了中国二十四节气中的秋分，整体围绕秋分的相关事实和传统展开。故选D。 Passage 11 （25-26九年级上·安康市·期中） In Tongren City, Guizhou Province, there is a special embroidery called leaf-vein embroidery (叶脉刺绣).

You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he or she lives. So remember to be polite. The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you over, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come “around 3: 00”, that means you can arrive a little bit after 3: 00. But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time. Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you to share, or maybe a CD that you can enjoy together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his or her house. When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his or her parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr. and Mrs. Smith. This will show them more respect (尊重) and then they may tell you to call them by their first names. Another way to show respect is to call them madam or sir. It is a cool thing to visit a friend’s house. Be polite to your friend and your friend’s parents, and you will be invited again. 1．When should you arrive if you are invited to a friend’s house? A．Almost on time. B．An hour earlier.

It falls on the first Friday of October every year. It is a day to make others smile, and to make sure you have a smile on your face as well.

You can give a small gift to your friend, offer your seat to people in need on the bus, etc. Or you can surprise someone in your family with a gift, by cooking a meal for them, or doing something special for them.

You might have noticed we are always saying “please”, “thank you”, “excuse me”, and “sorry”. In our daily life, we often ask someone to do something for us. ▲ Sometimes, your request can be difficult for the other persons to do. So it is necessary to be polite when making a request. To do this, you might say some words such as “can”, “could”, or “please” to make your expression nicer. They may make it look like you are asking a question instead of making a request. But don’t worry — the listener will understand you. For example, if you are in a restaurant and say “I want the bill (账单)” to the waiter, your request will be considered very directly. You might use this kind of language if you are angry because they have had very bad service. However, if you wish to sound polite, you might consider speaking like this: “Can I have the bill, please?” or “Could I possibly have the bill, please?” We can also use polite language to ask for permission (准许). For example, if you want to sit down next to someone, you can ask for permission first. For example, “Do you mind if I sit here?” In the daily life, if you really need help, being polite is quite necessary. 1．What is the best sentence for “ ▲ ”? A．However, it may not be so polite. B．However, it may sound like a stupid idea. C．However, it may start a fight between two friends. D．However, it may make you fail to show your feelings. 2．What may a person mean if he says “I want the bill” in a restaurant? A．He is not happy with the service. B．He and the waiter are close friends. C．He is trying to make himself sound polite. D．He is considering inviting his friends here. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．“Excuse me” is not a polite word mentioned in the passage. B．It’s not important to be polite when asking someone for easy help. C．Words like “can” and “could” can make a request sound less direct. D．The listener will not understand your request if you use polite language. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．How to Behave in a Restaurant B．Stop Making requests C．Get Along Well with Friends D．Be Polite with Your Words 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．C 4．D 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据“Sometimes, your request can be difficult for the other persons to do. So it is necessary to be polite when making a request.”可知，直接请求可能不够礼貌，空处需补充说明其负面影响。A项“So it is necessary to be polite”符合上下文逻辑。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据“You might use this kind of language if you are angry because they have had very bad service.”可知，直接说“I want the bill”可能暗示对服务不满。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“To do this, you might say some words such as ‘can’, ‘could’… to make your expression nicer”及“ However, if you wish to sound polite, you might consider speaking like this: ‘Can I have the bill, please?’ or ‘Could I possibly have the bill, please?’”可知，使用这些词能使请求更委婉。C项正确。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。全文围绕“礼貌用语”展开，从请求方式到询问许可均强调语言得体性。D项“Be Polite with Your Words”最贴合主旨。故选D。 主题03 人与自然 Passage 16 （25-26九年级上·汉中市洋县·期中） Charles Darwin was a British scientist. He lived from 1809 to 1882. He studied plants and animals and did many experiments (实验). Darwin’s work on insectivorous (食虫的) plants began by accident. In the summer of 1860, he stayed in Hartfield, Sussex on holiday. He often went for long walks in the forest and became interested in the common sundew. Here is one of the pages from his diary. Can plants kill flies? I found some sundew plants with many insects on them. I decided to examine them more carefully. I examined 12 plants and found 31 dead insects, or parts of their bodies. Some leaves caught several insects. The sundew plant caught flies (苍蝇) much more often than other insects. I want to do some experiments. I don’t know what I’ll find out. Experiment 1 I put several items in the center of each leaf. The tentacles on the leaves always moved toward the items. The speed was not always the same. Why? Experiment 2 I found a fly on a sundew leaf. The fly could not get away from it. The fly was on one side of the leaf. The tentacles on that side closed around the fly and killed it. The tentacles on the other side of the leaf never moved! Experiment 3 I put a dead fly in the center of a leaf. The next morning, the leaf was closed. It opened again five days later. There was ________. 1．Darwin made ________ experiments according to the text. A．one B．two C．three D．four 2．Which of the following can be put in the “________” A．no fly B．a dead fly C．a living fly D．a dying fly 3．From the experiments, Darwin learned that ________. A．the sundew plant only ate dead insects B．the sundew plant could finish eating an insect in one day C．sundew tentacles all moved at the same speed D．the sundew plant caught flies much more often than other insects 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 【详解】 1．文本清晰标注Experiment 1、Experiment 2、Experiment 3，一共三组实验。根据实验内容可知Darwin做了三组实验，故选C。 2．实验3 把死苍蝇放在叶片中心，叶片闭合，五天后重新张开，说明植物消化完了苍蝇，因此叶片张开后没有苍蝇了，填no fly。 3．原文日记段落“The sundew plant caught flies (苍蝇) much more often than other insects.”，和D选项表述完全一致。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $函学科网 专题05 主题01人与自我 (25-26九年级上·安康市汉阴县·期中) 【答案】1.C2.D3.D (25-26九年级上·安康市汉阴县·期中) 【答案】1.D2.C3.C (25-26九年级上，咸阳市三原县·期中) 【答案】1.C2.B3.C (25-26九年级上·榆林市·期中) 【答案】1.B2.D3.C www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 阅读理解（说明文) 基础必练 Passage 1 Passage 2 4.B Passage 3 Passage 4 1/8 函学科网 主题02人与社会 (25-26九年级上·商洛市镇安县·期中) 【答案】1.A2.D3.C (25-26九年级上·汉中市洋县·期中) 【答案】1.D2.A3.B (25-26九年级上·商洛市镇安县·期中) 【答案】1.B2.C3.D (25-26九年级上·渭南市韩城市·期中) 【答案】1.B2.A3.B (25-26九年级上·渭南市高新区·期中) www zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 Passage 5 4.D Passage 6 Passage 7 Passage 8 Passage 9 2/8 学科网 【答案】1.D2.B3.C (25-26九年级上·汉中市南郑区·期中) 【答案】1.B2.D3.A (25-26九年级上·榆林市榆阳区·期中) 【答案】1.C2.C3.B （25-26九年级上·西安市·期中) 【答案】1.A2.D3.B (25-26九年级上安康市·期中) 【答案】1.C2.D3.A (25-26九年级上·渭南市高新区·期中) 【答案】1.D2.C3.C www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 Passage 10 4.c Passage 11 Passage 12 Passage 13 Passage 14 4.D 3/8 函学科网 (25-26九年级上·安康市石泉县·期中) 【答案】1.D2.B3.A 主题03人与自然 (25-26九年级上宝鸡市陈仓区·期中) 【答案】1.B2.C3.D (25-26九年级上·汉中市勉县·期中) 【答案】1.B2.B 3.A 主题01人与自我 (25-26九年级上·汉中市南郑区·期中) 【答案】1.D2.C3.B www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 Passage 15 4.C Passage 16 Passage 17 进阶提升】 Passage 1 4/8 学科网 (25-26九年级上·咸阳市礼泉县·期中) 【答案】1.D2.B3.C (25-26九年级上·渭南市高新区·期中) 【答案】1.B2.A3.C (25-26九年级上咸阳市·期中) 【答案】1.C2.D3.B 主题02人与社会 (25-26九年级上·商洛市商南县·期中) 【答案】1.A2.B3.D (25-26九年级上：咸阳市兴平市·期中) www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 Passage 2 Passage 3 Passage 4 Passage 5 4.A Passage 6 5/8 而学科网 【答案】1.C2.A3.D (25-26九年级上·咸阳市三原县·期中) 【答案】1.A2.D3.B (25-26九年级上·榆林市府谷县·期中) 【答案】1.A2.B3.D (25-26九年级上·西安市·期中) 【答案】1.B2.C3.A (25-26九年级上安康市·期中) 【答案】1.C2.B3.D (25-26九年级上·安康市·期中) 【答案】1.B2.D3.C www zxxk com 让教与学更高效 4.B Passage 7 4.C Passage 8 Passage 9 4.D Passage 10 Passage 11 4.A 618 函学科网 (25-26九年级上·商洛市商南县·期中) 【答案】1.A2.B3.C (25-26九年级上·汉中市勉县·期中) 【答案】1.B2.A3.D (25-26九年级上咸阳市·期中) 【答案】1.C2.A3.B (25-26九年级上·咸阳市泾阳县·期中) 【答案】1.A2.A3.C 主题03人与自然 (25-26九年级上·汉中市洋县·期中) www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 Passage 12 Passage 13 Passage 14 4.D Passage 15 4.D Passage 16 718 学科网 【答案】1.C2.A www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 3.D 8/8
