From Chinese paper lanterns to Western airships, different cultures found similar solutions to touch the sky. Over 1,800 years ago, smart inventor Zhuge Liang needed to send messages at night. He created special lanterns with bamboo sticks and thin paper. When soldiers lit a small candle under the lantern, warm air filled the paper bag. As the air inside became hotter and lighter than the cool night air, the lantern would shake softly, then slowly fly up to the sky. Today, during festivals, people write their wishes on these “Kongming lanterns” and watch hundreds of them shining like stars in the dark sky. In 1852, a French engineer created the first flying machine that people could control. By the 1900s, German engineers developed Zeppelins. These “sky ships” had gas bags filled with special light gases (hydrogen氢气) and they were lighter than normal air. These huge gas bags needed protection, so workers built metal frames around them. The ships also had strong skeletons (框架) inside to keep their shape, and noisy engines with spinning wheels to push them forward. People could sit in comfortable rooms under the balloon and enjoy a wonderful trip! All inventions follow nature’s law: lighter things rise above heavier ones. From ancient Chinese lanterns to today’s sky adventures, this simple science continues to lift human dreams higher and closer to the sky!

He studied at Southwest Associated University during the war and later went to the United States for further education. In 1948, he earned his doctorate (博士学位) from the University of Chicago and began his brilliant academic career. Together with Li Zhengdao, he put forward the theory of “parity non-conservation in weak interactions” in 1956. For this achievement, they won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957, becoming the first Chinese scientists to receive this honor. He also discovered the “Yang-Baxter Equation”, opening up new research directions in physics and mathematics. Though living abroad for many years, Yang always cared about China. In 1971, he returned to China as soon as China-US relations smoothed over, building a bridge for academic exchanges between China and the world. Later, he worked as a professor at Tsinghua University, devoting himself to cultivating young scientists. He raised money, introduced top scholars, and gave away a large number of books and materials to support China’s scientific and educational development.

It means there is a big problem that people don’t want to talk about. It’s as if there’s an elephant standing in the corner, but everyone pretends (假装) it’s not there. So you might understand why Dutch artist Johannes-Harm Hovinga named his new project “The Elephant in the Room”. For more than 20 days, Hovinga sat in a museum and used a hole punch (打孔器) to make holes in 7,700 pages of the United Nations report on climate change. Every day, Hovinga sat for six hours making holes, only drinking water and taking short breaks to go to the bathroom. He had printed the report on paper of different colors so that there were many colorful circles next to his desk when he made the holes. It was an artistic protest (抗议). He wanted to draw attention to climate change and show that the world’s governments are not doing enough to save the planet. Between June 22 and July 14 in 2023, people could watch Hovinga making holes. Some visitors seemed to have strong feelings as they watched. An art project: The Elephant in the Room Meaning of the name A big problem that people refuse to 1 By whom Dutch artist Johannes-Harm Hovinga When From June 22 to July 14 in 2023 What He printed the 7,700-page United Nations report on climate change on 2 . He spent six hours a day 3 in the report. Why To draw attention to climate change To show that the world’s governments aren’t making enough efforts to 4 What do you think of Hovinga’s project? Why? 5 【答案】1．talk about 2．different colored paper 3．making holes 4．save the planet 5．I think it is a good and smart way to protest because he spent a lot of time making holes in many pages to show that climate change is a big problem.（答案不唯一，合理即可） 【知识点】说明文、环境保护 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了荷兰艺术家Johannes-Harm Hovinga通过名为“房间里的大象”的艺术项目，打孔破坏联合国气候变化报告，以此抗议各国政府对气候变化问题重视不足的故事。 【详解】1．根据文章第1段“It means there is a big problem that people don’t want to talk about.”可知，该项目名字的含义是人们拒绝谈论的大问题。表格中“refuse to”对应“don’t want to”，因此表格第一空应填“talk about”。 2．根据文章第3段“He had printed the report on paper of different colors”可知，他是将报告打印在不同颜色的纸上，因答案不超过3个单词，“paper of different colors”可概括为“different colored paper”。 3．根据文章第3段”Every day, Hovinga sat for six hours making holes”可知，他每天花六个小时在报告上打孔，表格中“spent six hours a day”后接动名词，因此第三空填“making holes”。 4．根据文章第4段“…show that the world’s governments are not doing enough to save the planet.”可知，政府没有足够努力去拯救地球。表格中“efforts to”后接动词原形，因此第四空填“save the planet”。 5．本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一，需结合文章主旨作答。结合文章内容和自己的看法，合理作答即可。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·贵州铜仁·期中）阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。1至4题每题答案不超过3个单词，5题须用完整句子回答。 In hot summers, we often buy bottled water, drink it all up, and then throw away the bottles. It’s said that more than 1 million water bottles are sold every minute around the world. Sales of bottled water are expected to double (翻倍) by 2030. However, using and throwing away so many bottles can cause big problems for society and the environment. The social problems In some rich countries, clean running water is everywhere. But people think bottled water is healthier and more delicious. That’s the opinion driven by bottled water companies. In poor countries, people choose bottled water more often because they don’t have ways to drink safe tap water (自来水). So this can draw people’s attention away from the real problems of public water systems (系统). The environmental problems Most plastics are not recycled and end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场). It can take up to 1,000 years for these bottles to break down in nature. And they can get into the ocean and bring harm to sea animals. The main source of bottled water is groundwater. However, groundwater is rapidly getting less in some areas because of excessive extraction (过度开采) and climate change. And the bottled water industry may make the lower water supply even worse. Here are some tips for you. You should try to save water and use reusable bottles instead of throwing away plastic bottles after drinking them. Main idea Supporting information The present and future * 1 water bottles are sold every minute worldwide. *Sales of bottled water are expected to double by 2030. 2 Most people prefer bottled water to tap water, and this draws people’s attention away from the real problems of public water systems. The environmental problems *It will take a very long time for these bottles to 3 in nature. *The bottles going into the ocean are 4 to sea animals. *The bottled water industry may make the lower water supply even worse. Will you follow the tips in the text? Why? 5 【答案】1．Over 1 million 2．The social problems 3．break down 4．harmful 5．Yes, I will. Because following these tips can help save water and reduce the use of plastic bottles, thus reducing pollution to the environment and helping to protect our planet. 【知识点】说明文、环境保护、环境污染 【导语】本文主要介绍了全球瓶装水的销售现状与未来预期，介绍了瓶装水带来的社会问题和环境问题，并给出了一些节约用水、使用可重复使用瓶子的建议。 【详解】1．根据“It’s said that more than 1 million water bottles are sold every minute around the world.”可知全球每分钟售出超过一百万瓶瓶装水，即over 1 million。故填Over 1 million。 2．根据“Most people prefer bottled water to tap water ...”可知，该部分内容对应原文的“The social problems”段落，围绕瓶装水引发的社会问题展开。故填The social problems。 3．根据“It can take up to 1,000 years for these bottles to break down in nature.”可知这些瓶子在自然界中分解需要长达1000年的时间，break down“分解”，故填break down。 4．根据“And they can get into the ocean and bring harm to sea animals.”可知它们会进入海洋，给海洋动物带来危害，be harmful to“对……有害”，故填harmful。 5．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为Yes, I will. Because following these tips can help save water and reduce the use of plastic bottles, thus reducing pollution to the environment and helping to protect our planet. 主题04 人与社会——语言学习 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·贵州遵义·期中）阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。(前4题答案不超过3个词，最后一题需用完整句子回答。) Chinese humor in English is helping the world understand Chinese culture better. It’s used a lot, especially on social media. This shows that Chinglish, a mix of English and Chinese, is not always regarded as wrong now, but as a fun way to connect with others. A popular example is a post (帖子) by a foreign blogger on a Chinese website. She talked about parting from her boyfriend. Many Chinese people left their ideas in English to comfort her, but their English wasn’t perfect. So some words of kindness turned into “You pretty, he not, u swan, he frog.” But others think it was fine because it was fast and convenient to write shorter words without changing the main meaning. Chinglish even plays a part in the Oxford English Dictionary. Phrases like “add oil”, meaning jiayou in Chinese and “cheer” in English, have already been in the dictionary. Similar examples also include “Long time no see”. Such an act shows the phrases or words are so popular that they can’t be neglected (忽视). Chinglish is now seen in things like video games, where Chinese words are kept instead of being translated. This can be seen from the latest hot game around the world with a rich Chinese culture—Black Myth: Wukong. In it, the Chinese words like yaoguai are no longer translated into English words, but kept as they are in Chinese. And foreign players just accept them and learn them happily as part of Chinese culture. This helps people around the world learn more about China. However, some people also show their worries. They said that Chinglish should not be used in situations like in class or at an important work meeting or discussion. It may cause misunderstanding and make others think you’re impolite. Chinglish Connects the World In the past Mixing English and Chinese used to be a 1 . But now the world accepts it in different ways. A popular example Many Chinese use Chinglish to show their ideas on social media because it is 2 . In the Oxford English Dictionary English dictionaries accept Chinglish words like “add oil” because these words are quite 3 . A 4 opinion Chinglish is not right for some important situations. What do you think of Chinglish? 5 【答案】1．mistake 2．fast and convenient 3．popular 4．different 5．I think Chinglish is a fun way to connect with others and helps spread Chinese culture, but it should be used properly. 【知识点】说明文、语言与文化 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中式英语（Chinglish）如今不再总被视为错误，而是作为一种有趣的交流方式帮助世界更好地理解中国文化，同时介绍了其在社交媒体、词典、电子游戏中的体现以及一些人对它的担忧。 【详解】1．根据文章第1段“This shows that Chinglish, a mix of English and Chinese, is not always regarded as wrong now”可推知，过去中英混合常被视为错误，根据“a”可知，空处应填可数名词单数，“mistake”符合语境。故填mistake。 2．根据文章第2段“But others think it was fine because it was fast and convenient to write shorter words without changing the main meaning.”可知，许多中国人在社交媒体上用中式英语是因为它快捷方便。故填fast and convenient。 3．根据文章第3段“Such an act shows the phrases or words are so popular that they can’t be neglected (忽视).”可知，牛津词典收录中式英语单词是因为它们很受欢迎。故填popular。 4．根据文章第5段 “However, some people also show their worries.”可知，此处指与主流接受观点不同的意见，“A different opinion”意为“一个不同的意见”。故填different。 5．结合文章内容，从积极传播文化和合理使用的角度回答即可。故填I think Chinglish is a fun way to connect with others and helps spread Chinese culture, but it should be used properly. 主题01 人与社会——科普知识 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·贵州黔南·期中）阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。(1至4题每题答案不超过3个单词，5题须用完整句子回答) Frost’s Descent (霜降) is the 18th of the 24 solar terms (节气) in the Chinese lunar calendar. It usually starts around October 23rd and ends around November 6th. It is the last solar term of autumn. This means winter is coming soon. It is called “Frost’s Descent” because this is the time of year when frost starts to appear. During this time, temperatures drop a lot. Because of this, we can see frost begins to form on the ground and plants. Many trees lose their leaves, and some animals start to prepare for their winter sleep. For farmers, it’s a busy season. In northern China, they are finishing the harvest. In the south, they are gathering crops like sweet potatoes and protecting winter crops from the cold. It’s also a great time to go hiking and enjoy the beautiful red maple leaves. What do you like to eat to keep warm in cold weather? Persimmons (柿子) are a popular choice during Frost’s Descent. People believe that eating persimmons can help keep them warm and make their bones stronger. Apples and pears are also good for health. In some places like Fujian and Taiwan, people often eat duck. There is even a saying: “Even nourishing (滋养) all year is not as good as nourishing the body during Frost’s Descent”.

Without it, we’d pretty much be lost at sea. That’s why it is considered as one of the most important inventions. But where does it come from? The compass can date back even to the Warring States Period (475 to 221 BC), when the Chinese discovered the magnetic properties (磁性) of certain stones. But thanks to Shen Kuo, the magnetic compass developed as a tool to guide the direction. Shen Kuo created an improved compass. It was a great improvement over the earlier Chinese navigational tool, the South-Pointing Spoon. While the spoon could only let people know the south direction, Shen Kuo’s compass provided a useful method for making sure of any basic direction. Besides being used for maritime navigation (航海), Shen Kuo also discovered the compass’s use in other activities.

Robinson, an American professor, developed the SQ3R method to help. It has 5 steps. Firstly, “S” stands for “survey”. You need to start reading by looking through the textbook quickly. Focus on the titles and pictures to find out what the textbook is mainly about. This will help you organize the ideas as you read it later. In the second step, “Q” means “questions”. The questions you ask must have something to do with the title. For example, the title goes, “Newton’s First Law (定律) and Second Law”. You may ask, “What are the two laws about?” To dig deeper, you may also ask, “How are the two laws different?” This step will give you a purpose (目的) for reading. 3R stands for the other three steps—“read” “retell” and “review”. In the “read” part, keep your questions in mind and read actively to find out the answers. You can write notes in your own words, and short phrases are better than long sentences. Then, it comes to the “retell” part. Use your own words to answer the questions, without looking back at the textbook. It will help you better understand what’s in the book. Finally, the last step is “review”. You should review your notes to check if you can understand the textbook. If not, pay special attention in class. With the help of the SQ3R method, I believe it will be easier for you to read all the textbooks! The SQ3R Method The SQ3R method is developed by Francis P. Robinson. It can help you 1 . It has 5 steps. Meaning Survey Look through the textbook quickly to get the 2 of the textbook. The titles and pictures can help.

Passage 12 （24-25九年级上·贵州遵义·期中）Many traditional woodcut prints are either black and white or simple in color, but the reduction woodcut (绝版木刻) can show rich colors. The reduction woodcut uses one piece of wood to make a colorful artwork. The artist cuts and prints different layers (层) in order on the same piece of wood. The reduction woodcut became an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Pu’er, Yunnan, in 2009. Leng Guangmian is a reduction woodcut artist. Leng started learning it in 2003. He said that making reduction woodcut prints is just like an adventure. “Every time we cut on the wood and then print, we never know what it will be like in the end. As I see beautiful patterns layer by layer, I get very excited,” added Leng. But finishing such work is not easy. He said that before cutting, he needs to plan for the whole print and choose colors for different layers. A big print usually takes months to finish. Leng wants his artwork to show both great woodcutting skills and the culture and life in Pu’er. “For my works, there are two themes: Tea Horse Road, because Pu’er is one of the starting places of that road; and disappearing villages,” Leng said. “Many old villages in Pu’er need rebuilding, so I want to make people remember their beauty before they are gone.” Leng Guangmian is now getting more people to know about the reduction woodcut. He trains farmers in Pu’er and brings the art into schools. To make students understand and learn the art quickly, he even thought of a new idea of cardboard (纸板) printing. “By using a small cardboard and making it simpler with three to five colors, students can get the beauty of the art,” Leng said. 1．The reduction woodcut has become an intangible cultural heritage for by now. 2．Leng feels when he sees beautiful patterns layer by layer. 3．Leng’s artworks show both and the culture and life in Pu’er. 4．Leng makes more know the reduction woodcut by in Pu’er and bringing it into schools. 5．Do you think Leng’s new idea of cardboard printing is good or not?

Passage 13 （24-25九年级上·贵州·期中）阅读短文, 根据其内容填空和回答问题。 One cannot discuss Chinese music without mentioning the Chinese seven-string zither（七弦琴）, also known as the guqin, one of the four arts﹣along with go, calligraphy and painting. It first appeared over 3, 000 years ago and represents China’s solo musical instrument tradition. At first, the guqin had only five strings, representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Later, in the Zhou dynasty, King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son. King Wu of Zhou added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang. Ambience（环境气氛） was important in playing the Chinese zither. Usually, it was practiced in quiet setting and never for public performance. Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream in the mountains. The sound of the guqin mixed with the echoes（回音） from the mountains, until the musician found himself at one with nature. Playing it in snow was also a favorite pastime for ancient artists, who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world. Also, a night with moonlight was considered ideal for playing the guqin. Wang Wei （701﹣761）, a great poet of the Tang dynasty, liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight. Guqin pieces are usually around three to eight minutes long, with the longest being Guangling Verse, which is 22 minutes long. Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements, Wild Geese Landing on the Sandbank and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute. Nowadays, there are fewer than one thousand well﹣trained guqin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters. The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly reduced to only a hundred works by today. The guqin and its music was added to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity（人类非物质文化遗产） in 2003. 1．Guqin, one of the four arts, has been around for   . 2．People always play the guqin in quiet setting instead of   . 3．Ancient artists enjoyed playing the guqin by a stream, and on a night with moonlight. 4． pieces of famous guqin works are mentioned in Paragraph 5. 5．What can we do to help spread the guqin culture? 【答案】1．over 3, 000 years 2．in public 3．in snow 4．Four. 5．We can learn to play the guqin. 【知识点】说明文、中华文化 【导语】本文介绍了古琴的历史以及现状。 【详解】1．根据第一段“It first appeared over 3, 000 years ago and represents China’s solo musical instrument tradition.”可知，古琴有3000多年的历史。故填over 3, 000 years。 2．根据第三段“Usually, it was practiced in quiet setting and never for public performance. ”可知，通常在安静的背景下演奏它, 而不在公众场合演奏。故填in public。 3．根据第四段“Playing it in snow was also a favorite pastime for ancient artists.”可知，古代艺术家也非常喜欢在雪中演奏古琴。故填in snow。 4．根据第五段“Guqin pieces are usually around three to eight minutes long, with the longest being Guangling Verse, which is 22 minutes long.

The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly reduced to only a hundred works by today. ”可知现在, 只有不到一百位古琴演奏者, 大概不到50位大师。现在几千首古老的古琴曲已经减少到只有一百首。我们应该做什么能传播古琴文化。答案合理即可。故可填We can learn to play the guqin. Passage 14 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）阅读下面短文，根据其内容，完成表格中所缺的信息。 Imagine your brain is like a busy city, with different areas that each have their own jobs to do, such as thinking, dreaming, and even playing your favorite sports or video games. Now, scientists have uncovered something fascinating in this busy city of our brain: special places called “emotional centers.” These areas light up and become active no matter what language we speak, showing us that the way we feel emotions(情感) is something everyone shares, no matter where they’re from. Emotions like happiness, sadness, fear, and excitement are feelings we all experience. But have you ever wondered how our brains process these emotions? Recent research has showed that there are certain places in our brains, which researchers are calling “emotional hubs,” where all these feelings come to life. These hubs work the same way in everyone’s brain, which is an amazing discovery because it suggests that no matter if you’re speaking Chinese, English, or any other language, our brains feel emotions in the same way. Understanding that there are emotional hubs in our brains helps scientists and doctors in many ways. For example, it can improve how we treat emotional and mental health problems. If we know where emotions come from in the brain, doctors can develop better treatments for people who might feel too sad or too worried. This discovery also teaches us something important about being human. It shows that deep down, we’re all quite similar. We all experience joy at a friend’s success, sadness during a sad movie, or fear when we hear a scary story. These emotional hubs in our brains remind us that no matter where we live or what language we speak, we all share the same human experiences. Scientists are excited about this discovery because it opens up new ways for research. They’re interested in looking into how these emotional hubs work and how they connect with other parts of the brain. This could lead to even more fascinating discoveries about how we think, feel, and communicate with the world around us. Understanding Our Brain’s Feelings Discovering the heart of emotion in our brains Scientists have found the special areas in the brain that 1 feelings and they work the same for everyone. The common language of emotion These special areas which 2 “emotional hubs” show that all people feel emotions in a similar way, no matter what language they speak. Why does this 3 ?

It’s one of the most famous murals (壁画) from the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. There are about 45,000 m2 of murals that should be seen there. Without doubt, the beauty of Dunhuang and the Mogao Grottoes is liked by the whole world. However, the question has always been how to show the thousand-year-old treasures to more people but still protect them at the same time. Thus, the “Digital Dunhuang Project (数字敦煌工程)” came into being. The project was put forward around 1990 by Fan Jinshi, the “Daughter of Dunhuang”. She hoped to use digital technology to store the cultural treasures of the grottoes clearly and carefully. The Digital Dunhuang was set up in 2006 and a professional team was built. After eight years, digital images were used to make an 8K movie. By 2022, digital data (数据) of 278 grottoes had been collected. Mogao Grottoes Digital Exhibition Center, which is 15 km from the real site, was built to help people have a better understanding of the Mogao Grottoes before paying a visit to the real grottoes. For example, people can enjoy some movies about murals created with the help of digital data in the center. The new form results in a win-win situation between the protection of murals and the development of tourism.

From Chinese paper lanterns to Western airships, different cultures found similar solutions to touch the sky. Over 1,800 years ago, smart inventor Zhuge Liang needed to send messages at night. He created special lanterns with bamboo sticks and thin paper. When soldiers lit a small candle under the lantern, warm air filled the paper bag. As the air inside became hotter and lighter than the cool night air, the lantern would shake softly, then slowly fly up to the sky. Today, during festivals, people write their wishes on these “Kongming lanterns” and watch hundreds of them shining like stars in the dark sky. In 1852, a French engineer created the first flying machine that people could control. By the 1900s, German engineers developed Zeppelins. These “sky ships” had gas bags filled with special light gases (hydrogen氢气) and they were lighter than normal air. These huge gas bags needed protection, so workers built metal frames around them. The ships also had strong skeletons (框架) inside to keep their shape, and noisy engines with spinning wheels to push them forward. People could sit in comfortable rooms under the balloon and enjoy a wonderful trip! All inventions follow nature’s law: lighter things rise above heavier ones. From ancient Chinese lanterns to today’s sky adventures, this simple science continues to lift human dreams higher and closer to the sky!

His life was filled with remarkable scientific achievements and deep love for his motherland. Born in Hefei, Anhui Province in 1922, Yang developed a strong interest in science at an early age. He studied at Southwest Associated University during the war and later went to the United States for further education. In 1948, he earned his doctorate (博士学位) from the University of Chicago and began his brilliant academic career. Together with Li Zhengdao, he put forward the theory of “parity non-conservation in weak interactions” in 1956. For this achievement, they won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957, becoming the first Chinese scientists to receive this honor. He also discovered the “Yang-Baxter Equation”, opening up new research directions in physics and mathematics. Though living abroad for many years, Yang always cared about China. In 1971, he returned to China as soon as China-US relations smoothed over, building a bridge for academic exchanges between China and the world. Later, he worked as a professor at Tsinghua University, devoting himself to cultivating young scientists. He raised money, introduced top scholars, and gave away a large number of books and materials to support China’s scientific and educational development. Yang Zhenning’s life was a legend of exploring the unknown and loving his country.

It means there is a big problem that people don’t want to talk about. It’s as if there’s an elephant standing in the corner, but everyone pretends (假装) it’s not there. So you might understand why Dutch artist Johannes-Harm Hovinga named his new project “The Elephant in the Room”. For more than 20 days, Hovinga sat in a museum and used a hole punch (打孔器) to make holes in 7,700 pages of the United Nations report on climate change. Every day, Hovinga sat for six hours making holes, only drinking water and taking short breaks to go to the bathroom. He had printed the report on paper of different colors so that there were many colorful circles next to his desk when he made the holes. It was an artistic protest (抗议). He wanted to draw attention to climate change and show that the world’s governments are not doing enough to save the planet. Between June 22 and July 14 in 2023, people could watch Hovinga making holes. Some visitors seemed to have strong feelings as they watched.

It’s said that more than 1 million water bottles are sold every minute around the world. Sales of bottled water are expected to double (翻倍) by 2030. However, using and throwing away so many bottles can cause big problems for society and the environment. The social problems In some rich countries, clean running water is everywhere. But people think bottled water is healthier and more delicious. That’s the opinion driven by bottled water companies. In poor countries, people choose bottled water more often because they don’t have ways to drink safe tap water (自来水). So this can draw people’s attention away from the real problems of public water systems (系统). The environmental problems Most plastics are not recycled and end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场). It can take up to 1,000 years for these bottles to break down in nature. And they can get into the ocean and bring harm to sea animals. The main source of bottled water is groundwater. However, groundwater is rapidly getting less in some areas because of excessive extraction (过度开采) and climate change. And the bottled water industry may make the lower water supply even worse. Here are some tips for you. You should try to save water and use reusable bottles instead of throwing away plastic bottles after drinking them.

It’s used a lot, especially on social media. This shows that Chinglish, a mix of English and Chinese, is not always regarded as wrong now, but as a fun way to connect with others. A popular example is a post (帖子) by a foreign blogger on a Chinese website. She talked about parting from her boyfriend. Many Chinese people left their ideas in English to comfort her, but their English wasn’t perfect. So some words of kindness turned into “You pretty, he not, u swan, he frog.” But others think it was fine because it was fast and convenient to write shorter words without changing the main meaning. Chinglish even plays a part in the Oxford English Dictionary. Phrases like “add oil”, meaning jiayou in Chinese and “cheer” in English, have already been in the dictionary. Similar examples also include “Long time no see”. Such an act shows the phrases or words are so popular that they can’t be neglected (忽视). Chinglish is now seen in things like video games, where Chinese words are kept instead of being translated. This can be seen from the latest hot game around the world with a rich Chinese culture—Black Myth: Wukong. In it, the Chinese words like yaoguai are no longer translated into English words, but kept as they are in Chinese. And foreign players just accept them and learn them happily as part of Chinese culture. This helps people around the world learn more about China. However, some people also show their worries. They said that Chinglish should not be used in situations like in class or at an important work meeting or discussion. It may cause misunderstanding and make others think you’re impolite.

It usually starts around October 23rd and ends around November 6th. It is the last solar term of autumn. This means winter is coming soon. It is called “Frost’s Descent” because this is the time of year when frost starts to appear. During this time, temperatures drop a lot. Because of this, we can see frost begins to form on the ground and plants. Many trees lose their leaves, and some animals start to prepare for their winter sleep. For farmers, it’s a busy season. In northern China, they are finishing the harvest. In the south, they are gathering crops like sweet potatoes and protecting winter crops from the cold. It’s also a great time to go hiking and enjoy the beautiful red maple leaves. What do you like to eat to keep warm in cold weather? Persimmons (柿子) are a popular choice during Frost’s Descent. People believe that eating persimmons can help keep them warm and make their bones stronger. Apples and pears are also good for health. In some places like Fujian and Taiwan, people often eat duck. There is even a saying: “Even nourishing (滋养) all year is not as good as nourishing the body during Frost’s Descent”.

Without it, we’d pretty much be lost at sea. That’s why it is considered as one of the most important inventions. But where does it come from? The compass can date back even to the Warring States Period (475 to 221 BC), when the Chinese discovered the magnetic properties (磁性) of certain stones. But thanks to Shen Kuo, the magnetic compass developed as a tool to guide the direction. Shen Kuo created an improved compass. It was a great improvement over the earlier Chinese navigational tool, the South-Pointing Spoon. While the spoon could only let people know the south direction, Shen Kuo’s compass provided a useful method for making sure of any basic direction. Besides being used for maritime navigation (航海), Shen Kuo also discovered the compass’s use in other activities. Shen Kuo’s work had a lasting influence on Chinese scientific and technological development. The Chinese compass, improved by Shen Kuo and later scientists, played an important role in shaping the world’s search and the understanding of our world’s geography. 1．We can’t be lost at sea because called compass which can give us direction. 2．The magnetic compass has been developed as a tool to guide the direction since Chinese found of certain stones. 3．Not only the South-Pointing Spoon let people know the south direction but also provided a useful method for making sure of any basic direction because of created by Shen Kuo. 4．Shen Kuo’s and later scientists’ hard work made Chinese compass the world’s search. 5．Do you agree Chinese compass influenced the world?

If you want to travel from New York to Beijing, the flight (航班) will take you more than 13 hours. Luckily enough, in the future, the journey might take only two hours. At present, a company (公司) is developing something called ET3, which stands for the “Evacuated Tube Transport (真空管运输) Technology”. How does it work? The tube is only a few meters wide and capsules (密闭舱) move through it. Each capsule can hold up to six people. For international travel, the capsules can reach speeds of about 6,500 kilometers per hour. Then you might wonder, “How is it possible for these capsules to travel at such high speeds?” Because there isn’t any air inside the tube. Moreover, each capsule weighs only 183 kilograms. There are also other good sides of ET3. Since it runs on electricity, it is quite clean. Besides, it is much quieter than airplanes or cars. Lastly, the ET3 system, including the tube and capsules, doesn’t require a large number of building materials. Of course, the ET3 system still has a few problems. On the one hand, people have to spend too much money building and operating (运行) it. On the other hand, great technological improvements are still required to make sure of the normal operation of ET3. Working way Capsules move through a few meters wide 1 .

Villagers do not purposefully make a foot path to the next village. They just go the shortest or easiest way over the fields. Day after day, people go and come the same way, and a path is made. Similarly, the more often we do anything in the same way or at the same time, the more we shall do it that way. At last a habit is formed. Usually it is much easier to form bad habits than good habits. The reason is simple: we are just lazy. For example, it is easier to lie in bed on a cold morning than to get up early. It is easier to put off today’s duties to tomorrow than to do them at the right time. Bad habits are not formed in a day, and it is the same with good habits. The forming of good habits needs time and calls for effort and hard work at first; but every time we do the right thing, it makes doing the same thing next time much easier. It’s really hard to get up early on a cold winter morning for the first time. However, if you keep doing it every day for some time, it will become “a piece of cake” in the end. At last, we form the good habit, which would be hard to break even if we wanted to break it. Get into the habit of early rising, and you will not want to lie in bed like a lazybones. Get into the habit of telling the truth, and you will find it really not easy to tell a lie.

In the United States,two teenage girls set up a mental health camp called “Healing (治愈) Hearts” to help people deal with anxiety. The idea of founding the camp came from Dinah Martinez,17, and her schoolmate Janet Martinez,18. Both girls suffered (受折磨) from anxiety. Dinah Martinez always did well in school. “But then I just started to collapse (崩溃),” Dinah Martinez said. She stopped talking to her friends, stopped going to school for three weeks and stayed at home. Janet Martinez was anxious in elementary school. Things got even worse in junior high. “It was a lot of pressure I put on myself. I would wake up in the morning and it was like my heart was racing,” she said. The girls’ camp idea got support from Girls Leading Our World (GLOW) in the US. The organization awarded them $5,000 to put on the camp for other teenage girls. “The ‘Healing Hearts’ camp was set up to help deal with anxiety, especially for girls in high school because that’s when they are the most vulnerable (脆弱的),”Janet Martinez said. On the first day of the camp,10 girls were there. Experts at the camp talked about anxiety. They helped girls who were experiencing anxiety. The girls learned how to calm themselves when they are anxious. They learned about calming methods like deep breathing and guided meditation (冥想). “It’s good to know that someone else is going through the same thing as me and we can both help each other out,” Dinah Martinez said.

It can sometimes feel like a challenge. Francis P. Robinson, an American professor, developed the SQ3R method to help. It has 5 steps. Firstly, “S” stands for “survey”. You need to start reading by looking through the textbook quickly. Focus on the titles and pictures to find out what the textbook is mainly about. This will help you organize the ideas as you read it later. In the second step, “Q” means “questions”. The questions you ask must have something to do with the title. For example, the title goes, “Newton’s First Law (定律) and Second Law”. You may ask, “What are the two laws about?” To dig deeper, you may also ask, “How are the two laws different?” This step will give you a purpose (目的) for reading. 3R stands for the other three steps—“read” “retell” and “review”. In the “read” part, keep your questions in mind and read actively to find out the answers. You can write notes in your own words, and short phrases are better than long sentences. Then, it comes to the “retell” part. Use your own words to answer the questions, without looking back at the textbook. It will help you better understand what’s in the book. Finally, the last step is “review”. You should review your notes to check if you can understand the textbook. If not, pay special attention in class. With the help of the SQ3R method, I believe it will be easier for you to read all the textbooks! The SQ3R Method The SQ3R method is developed by Francis P. Robinson. It can help you 1 .

More and more people create and share short videos on popular apps like Douyin and Kuaishou to show parts of their lives. Using live streaming is popular among the people aged 18 to 35. Even the teachers give lessons by live streaming. Besides leaving reviews on the screen, viewers (观众) can also communicate directly with the hosts by buying virtual (虚拟的) gifts such as flowers, toys and cars for them online.

What’s more, live streaming allows users to communicate with strangers and express themselves. A 19-year-old college student called Nie Li says she spends three to four hours each week chatting and singing with viewers through one app called Ingkee. “Sometimes I feel lonely and want to talk to people,” she says, “I feel nice when viewers are paying attention to me.” However, as there are more than 80 apps and 300 websites for live streaming in China, the Internet regulator (监管机构) almost can’t monitor (监控) the content (内容) all the time. “We support the use of live streaming.

Some people think using QR codes is convenient for us. We can scan a QR code to get on the bus without using cash. When you’re at a store, you just need to show the QR code on your phone. Then you have paid for your snacks. You don’t need to worry about getting the numbers wrong. Also QR codes help us get lots of information, and it’s all fast and right.

But some people think scanning QR codes feels like a burden now in our everyday life. First, it takes more time. In the past, ordering food at a restaurant was simple—just talk to the waiter!

Today, though Chinese would usually shake hands when meeting friends, people would still make fist-and-palm salutes when they are paying a visit to someone during the traditional Chinese New Year or attending someone’s birthday reception. The fist-and-palm salute is typical Chinese etiquette (礼节) with a history of more than 3,000 years. In ancient times, if people met a stranger, their hands were always ready to hold together. Holding hands together showed that people could feel relaxed. Later it became the etiquette when meeting each other and showing thanks. In modern China, the fist-and-palm salute has been used a lot on traditional occasions. The gesture of the fist-and-palm salute: Firstly, stand straight. If you are a man, let your right hand be a half fist, and then your left hand hold your right hand in front of your chest. Watch each other in the eyes, raise both of your hands to your brow, bent down and shake your hands toward each other gently for three times. Meanwhile, you could say some lucky greeting words such as “gong xi fa cai (Wish you much money)”, “ni hao (Hello)”, “xing hui (Nice to meet you)”, “xin nian kuai le (Happy New Year)” according to different occasions. It’s believed that people considered the left as the important side for men in Chinese history, while for women, the important side is the right. So, if you are a woman, you should make the fist-and-palm salute in the other way—put your right hand on your left hand. At last, please remember when someone makes the fist-and-palm salute to you, you need to do it back as well.    1．The fist-and-palm salute has a history of . 2．In modern China, on traditional occasions Chinese have used to greet a lot. 3．In ancient China, a woman should put on the left one when making the fist-and-palm salute to others. 4．Men’s fist-and-palm salute is women’s. 5．If someone makes the fist-and-palm salute to you, what do you need to do?

It carries countless cultural information and plays an important role in spreading traditional culture. It was once popular in printing history and can date back to the Tang dynasty. The invention is based on the early copy technology during the Tang Dynasty. The stops of woodblock printing are divided into three parts: engraving (雕刻), ink applying, and bookbinding. First, choose a piece of smooth wooden board and engrave the text on the woodblock. Engrave every word and leave a little space. Second, print out the text. Brush the engraved board with ink, and put the paper on the surface of the board. And then put the hand over the back of the paper. The text will “jump onto the paper”. The third step is bookbinding. People turn it into a book through collecting printed paper. At present, the earliest block-printed thing that can be seen is the block-printed Diamond Sutra (《金刚经》) of the Tang dynasty. It was found in Dunhuang and was printed in 868 AD．The printing process is very wonderful. Woodblock printing has many advantages, so it quickly took the place of hand copying. Its biggest advantage is that a woodblock can be used again for printing. Also, it requires less work so it helps people to save more time. The use of woodblock printing is helpful to increase the number of books. Besides, it is a useful tool to push culture development forward. The ancient Chinese culture was engraved through this skill. So many stories can be printed into books and be widely spread. It also pushes the use of paper money, making the exchange of goods faster and easier. 1．The history of woodblock printing to the Tang Dynasty. 2．When engraving, pay attention to and leaving a little space. 3．There are advantages of woodblock printing mentioned in the text. 4．So many stories can be printed into books and be widely spread because of the skill of . 5．Do you like woodblock printing?

Also I was sure that if I had any problems, my parents could always be around me, offering help.

The reduction woodcut uses one piece of wood to make a colorful artwork. The artist cuts and prints different layers (层) in order on the same piece of wood. The reduction woodcut became an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Pu’er, Yunnan, in 2009. Leng Guangmian is a reduction woodcut artist. Leng started learning it in 2003. He said that making reduction woodcut prints is just like an adventure. “Every time we cut on the wood and then print, we never know what it will be like in the end. As I see beautiful patterns layer by layer, I get very excited,” added Leng. But finishing such work is not easy. He said that before cutting, he needs to plan for the whole print and choose colors for different layers. A big print usually takes months to finish. Leng wants his artwork to show both great woodcutting skills and the culture and life in Pu’er. “For my works, there are two themes: Tea Horse Road, because Pu’er is one of the starting places of that road; and disappearing villages,” Leng said. “Many old villages in Pu’er need rebuilding, so I want to make people remember their beauty before they are gone.” Leng Guangmian is now getting more people to know about the reduction woodcut. He trains farmers in Pu’er and brings the art into schools. To make students understand and learn the art quickly, he even thought of a new idea of cardboard (纸板) printing. “By using a small cardboard and making it simpler with three to five colors, students can get the beauty of the art,” Leng said. 1．The reduction woodcut has become an intangible cultural heritage for by now. 2．Leng feels when he sees beautiful patterns layer by layer. 3．Leng’s artworks show both and the culture and life in Pu’er. 4．Leng makes more know the reduction woodcut by in Pu’er and bringing it into schools. 5．Do you think Leng’s new idea of cardboard printing is good or not?

Passage 13 （24-25九年级上·贵州·期中）阅读短文, 根据其内容填空和回答问题。 One cannot discuss Chinese music without mentioning the Chinese seven-string zither（七弦琴）, also known as the guqin, one of the four arts﹣along with go, calligraphy and painting. It first appeared over 3, 000 years ago and represents China’s solo musical instrument tradition. At first, the guqin had only five strings, representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Later, in the Zhou dynasty, King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son. King Wu of Zhou added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang. Ambience（环境气氛） was important in playing the Chinese zither. Usually, it was practiced in quiet setting and never for public performance. Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream in the mountains. The sound of the guqin mixed with the echoes（回音） from the mountains, until the musician found himself at one with nature. Playing it in snow was also a favorite pastime for ancient artists, who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world. Also, a night with moonlight was considered ideal for playing the guqin. Wang Wei （701﹣761）, a great poet of the Tang dynasty, liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight. Guqin pieces are usually around three to eight minutes long, with the longest being Guangling Verse, which is 22 minutes long. Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements, Wild Geese Landing on the Sandbank and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute. Nowadays, there are fewer than one thousand well﹣trained guqin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters. The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly reduced to only a hundred works by today. The guqin and its music was added to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity（人类非物质文化遗产） in 2003. 1．Guqin, one of the four arts, has been around for   . 2．People always play the guqin in quiet setting instead of   . 3．Ancient artists enjoyed playing the guqin by a stream, and on a night with moonlight. 4． pieces of famous guqin works are mentioned in Paragraph 5. 5．What can we do to help spread the guqin culture?

Now, scientists have uncovered something fascinating in this busy city of our brain: special places called “emotional centers.” These areas light up and become active no matter what language we speak, showing us that the way we feel emotions(情感) is something everyone shares, no matter where they’re from. Emotions like happiness, sadness, fear, and excitement are feelings we all experience. But have you ever wondered how our brains process these emotions? Recent research has showed that there are certain places in our brains, which researchers are calling “emotional hubs,” where all these feelings come to life. These hubs work the same way in everyone’s brain, which is an amazing discovery because it suggests that no matter if you’re speaking Chinese, English, or any other language, our brains feel emotions in the same way. Understanding that there are emotional hubs in our brains helps scientists and doctors in many ways. For example, it can improve how we treat emotional and mental health problems. If we know where emotions come from in the brain, doctors can develop better treatments for people who might feel too sad or too worried. This discovery also teaches us something important about being human. It shows that deep down, we’re all quite similar. We all experience joy at a friend’s success, sadness during a sad movie, or fear when we hear a scary story. These emotional hubs in our brains remind us that no matter where we live or what language we speak, we all share the same human experiences. Scientists are excited about this discovery because it opens up new ways for research. They’re interested in looking into how these emotional hubs work and how they connect with other parts of the brain. This could lead to even more fascinating discoveries about how we think, feel, and communicate with the world around us. Understanding Our Brain’s Feelings Discovering the heart of emotion in our brains Scientists have found the special areas in the brain that 1 feelings and they work the same for everyone. The common language of emotion These special areas which 2 “emotional hubs” show that all people feel emotions in a similar way, no matter what language they speak. Why does this 3 ?

There are about 45,000 m2 of murals that should be seen there. Without doubt, the beauty of Dunhuang and the Mogao Grottoes is liked by the whole world. However, the question has always been how to show the thousand-year-old treasures to more people but still protect them at the same time. Thus, the “Digital Dunhuang Project (数字敦煌工程)” came into being. The project was put forward around 1990 by Fan Jinshi, the “Daughter of Dunhuang”. She hoped to use digital technology to store the cultural treasures of the grottoes clearly and carefully. The Digital Dunhuang was set up in 2006 and a professional team was built. After eight years, digital images were used to make an 8K movie. By 2022, digital data (数据) of 278 grottoes had been collected. Mogao Grottoes Digital Exhibition Center, which is 15 km from the real site, was built to help people have a better understanding of the Mogao Grottoes before paying a visit to the real grottoes. For example, people can enjoy some movies about murals created with the help of digital data in the center. The new form results in a win-win situation between the protection of murals and the development of tourism. The Mogao Grottoes are not just old walls with paintings — they are windows to the great art. With the help of digital tools, these amazing murals are being protected well. This way, more people can enjoy these beautiful stories and learn about ancient times in the future.
