Life used to be very different then. We didn’t have cell phones when we wanted to talk to our friends. We didn’t have e-mails, either, so we had to write letters. When we traveled from town to town, we used to walk or ride horses or take a cart (手推车). Later we had buses but very few people had cars. Air travel was a luxury (奢侈品) and we used to dream of riding on an airplane but now everyone does. It’s so common. Food is another big difference. There weren’t any supermarkets so we used to grow our own food. We would exchange some with people from other towns to buy the things we didn’t have. We didn’t have a refrigerator (冰箱) so we kept things cool in a special room downstairs. But the biggest difference is electricity. We didn’t have any in our town. At night, we used to light candles when we wanted light and we burned coal (煤) or wood to keep warm. We didn’t have television. In summer, we used to go swimming in the river. Life used to be very different, but we were happy. Love, Grandpa 1．This letter was written by ________.

He thinks that people were polite and nice in the 1930s but they are greedy (贪婪的) in the modern society. But his friend thinks that living conditions have improved a lot and humans are still kind today. So what do you think? ②Just like Aaron Whiteside, nostalgic people think the days in the past were much better than now. People lived more happily with fewer worries in the past. In the old days, people sat around a table together, sharing food and conversations. But now most UK families spend about 20 minutes on supper before hurrying off. Families know less about each other’s lives. There is much more pressure on making a living. ③Besides, people bought fewer things in the past, which was better for the environment and made people more creative. For example, bands from the 1960s, such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, were much better than today’s. Creative expression is now being lost to technology and greed. ④ ▲ . In their opinion, both men and women are able to live how they like now. However, women’s position was quite low in the past because they were expected to stay at home, looking after babies and doing a lot of housework. Most women lived a boring life at that time. ⑤What’s more, it is agreed that children get better education today. That’s because there are more schools and colleges in the modern society. Thanks to technology development, we live in a shared world where we share information, services and culture, and that teaches us new perspectives (视角). 1．Aaron Whiteside and his friend are mentioned as examples to ________. A．explain the importance of being polite and nice B．compare people’s lives in different places C．give useful suggestions on keeping friendship D．show different opinions on life now and then 2．Nostalgic people in Paragraph 2 refer to the people who ________. A．care about money B．miss the past C．care about health D．refuse to change 3．The missing part in the fourth paragraph marked as “ ▲ ” should be ________. A．So, many people prefer to live in the past B．Besides, life in the past was simple C．However, others hold that life now is fairer D．Actually, people now are much more creative 4．The structure of this passage may be ________. A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，以Aaron与朋友对今昔生活的不同看法引入话题，分别阐述了怀旧人群认为过去生活更美好的理由，以及另一群体认为现代生活更优越的理由，呈现了两种对立的观点。 【详解】 1．根据文章第①段“Aaron Whiteside, born in the 1980s, believes that life was better in times gone by. He thinks that people were polite and nice in the 1930s but they are greedy in the modern society. But his friend thinks that living conditions have improved a lot and humans are still kind today.”可推知，二人对过去和现在的生活持有截然不同的看法，作者以二人为例是为了展示人们对今昔生活的不同观点。 2．根据文章第②段“... think the days in the past were much better than now.”可猜测，这类人和Aaron想法一致，都认为过去的日子比现在更好，也就是怀念过去的人。 3．根据文章第④段“In their opinion, both men and women are able to live how they like now. However, women’s position was quite low in the past because they were expected to stay at home, looking after babies and doing a lot of housework.”可推知，本段内容围绕“当下生活更公平”展开，且与前文“过去更好”的观点形成转折，空缺处作为本段总起句，应引出这一相反的观点，故选C。 4．梳理全文逻辑：第①段通过事例引出“过去与现在生活哪个更好”的话题，是全文总起段；第②③段从家庭相处、创造力与环保的角度，论述“过去生活更美好”的观点；第④⑤段从性别平等、教育与科技发展的角度，论述“当下生活更优越”的观点；全文为“总-分”结构，分为两大观点分支，每个分支包含两个论述段落，与选项A的结构图示一致。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·辽宁丹东·期中）Over recent years, letter writing has been replaced by other ways of communicating. Technology has developed so fast that we now expect to be able to see people at any time and get a response immediately. It feels much more natural for us to send text messages and emails than writing letters. It is true that these modern ways of communicating have their own advantages. We can talk to people all over the world even in a few seconds. Communicating with people by sending text messages or emails can help us save time and receive a reply as soon as possible. We can also correct mistakes in our e-mails before sending them. But if we make a mistake in a letter, we have to cross it out or start again. But have you ever thought about what we are losing? Yes, we are forgetting about the art of letter writing. Almost everybody would say that reading a hand-written letter from a friend is enjoyable. When you know someone has spent the time writing a letter for you, especially a birthday letter, there’s something very special in your heart. On the other hand, not only will the person receiving the letter benefit from a lovely envelope (信封), but also the writer himself. When we know we’re doing something that will make our friends very happy, we feel good about ourselves, too. In addition, writing a letter can improve your language skills and you can also learn some new expressions. 1．What is one advantage of modern communication mentioned in the text? A．It helps to improve our handwriting. B．It allows us to correct mistakes easily. C．It makes us feel more special. D．It helps us learn new expressions. 2．According to the text, how might the writer of a letter feel? A．Worried about making mistakes. B．Happy to make his/ her friend happy. C．Stressed about spending too much time. D．Sad about the loss of communication skills. 3．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of letter writing? A．Bringing joy to the receiver. B．Making the writer feel good. C．Helping to save a lot of time. D．Improving language skills. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The Disadvantages of Modern Technology B．The Importance of Writing Letters C．The Art of Letter Writing Should Not Be Forgotten D．How to Improve Your Communication Skills 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了随着科技发展，书信写作被短信和电子邮件等现代通讯方式取代的现象，虽然现代通讯有其便利之处，但书信写作所带来的情感价值和艺术性是不应被遗忘的。 【详解】 1．第二段指出“We can also correct mistakes in our e-mails before sending them.”，说明现代通讯方式的优势之一是可以轻松纠正错误。 2．第五段指出“When we know we’re doing something that will make our friends very happy, we feel good about ourselves, too.”，说明写信的人会因为让朋友开心而感到快乐。 3．第二段指出“Communicating with people by sending text messages or emails can help us save time”是现代通讯方式的优势，而非写信的好处。写信的好处包括给收信人带来快乐（第四段）、让写信人感觉良好（第五段）和提高语言技能（第六段），因此C项“节省时间”不是写信的好处。 4．文章首先指出书信写作被现代科技取代，随后承认现代通讯的优势，但第三段转折提出“我们正在忘记书信写作这门艺术”，随后几段详细阐述了书信写作带来的独特益处，因此文章旨在呼吁人们不要忘记书信写作这门艺术。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·陕西商洛·期末）Mrs. Li is over 80 years old. She has lived in Beijing all her life. A reporter interviewed her yesterday. The following are their questions and answers. Q: What was your life like in the past? Mrs. Li: My family lived in a tiny house on a farm. My father was a postman, and he often worked twelve hours a day outside in the winter cold or in the summer heat. My mum was a farm girl before she met my father. She was a kind and loving mother. She didn’t go out to work. There were five children in my family, and looking after us was more than a full-time job. The food we ate was simple. We could only eat meat once or twice a year. I wasn’t sent to school because my family couldn’t afford the tuition (学费). Q: How has life changed? Mrs. Li: Generally speaking, I think life is better today. For example, families have got smaller than they were in the past. The role of women has changed too. My daughter is really fortunate. She has a good education. I’m happy that she can go to work even after getting married, but sometimes I feel lonely because she can’t come to see me often. Transport and travel are easier today. When I was young, I went everywhere on foot. Now you can take the bus, drive the car or ride the shared bikes. We have televisions today and I really enjoy watching TV. 1．What can we know about Mrs. Li’s parents? A．They lived a rich life. B．They worked in a post office. C．They had three children.

C．Mrs. Li’s daughter has already got married. D．Mrs. Li prefers to go everywhere on foot. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文通过采访记录了80多岁的李奶奶对过去生活和现在生活变化的回忆与看法。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据文章“My family lived in a tiny house on a farm.”可知，李奶奶一家，包括她的父母，都住在农场。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据文章“For example”可知，李奶奶通过举例来支持她的观点；根据文章“When I was young, I went everywhere on foot. Now you can take the bus, drive the car or ride the shared bikes.”可知，这是过去与现在交通方式的不同，李奶奶通过对比事实来支持她的观点。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章“I wasn’t sent to school because my family couldn’t afford the tuition.”和“My daughter is really fortunate. She has a good education.”可知，李奶奶年少时因为贫穷上不起学，现在她的女儿接受了良好的教育，由此可推测她认为女儿是幸运的人，因此“fortunate”意为“幸运的”。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据文章“I’m happy that she can go to work even after getting married...”可知，李奶奶的女儿已经结婚。故选C。 Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·河南许昌·期中） What will happen if everyone keeps picking up at least one piece of litter?

Do you know a firework show that took place in the Himalayas? A famous outdoor brand (品牌商) and a well-known artist held a firework show in the Himalayas on September 19th, 2025. They wanted to mix art with nature. The firework show was in a high area of the Himalayas. The brand said the event was to celebrate nature’s beauty with art. However, many people worried that setting off fireworks in this area might harm the local environment. Some environmental experts (专家) said there were many special wild animals and plants in the Himalayas. The loud sound and bright light of the fireworks could affect these animals and plants. What’s more, the rest parts of the fireworks might make soil and water dirty. As we know, soil and water are very important for the environment. The brand said they did things to reduce environmental impact. For example, they used materials (材料) that could break down naturally and cleaned up after the event. But the public still didn’t believe them. Some people thought no firework show should be held in such an area. Local officials have also started to check the event. They say it’s important to balance (平衡) art activities and environmental protection. This is especially true for the areas like the Himalayas. This event has started a bigger discussion. People are talking about the duty of artists and brands to protect nature when they try to express art. It tells us art is valuable, but we shouldn’t hurt the environment for art. 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By asking questions. B．By listing numbers. C．By giving an example. D．By telling a story. 2．What is the main purpose of the firework show? A．To improve the brand’s new product. B．To mix art with the beauty of nature. C．To show the artist’s latest painting.

B．Reason. C．Policy. D．Development. 5．What may the writer write next? A．Where can we hold the firework show? B．How can we protect the Himalayas? C．What should we do to prevent the event like this? D．How can we mix the art with the environment properly? 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要围绕某户外品牌在喜马拉雅举办烟花秀引发环保争议事件展开，此事引发人们思考要平衡艺术活动与自然保护。 【详解】 1．根据第一段开头“Do you know Himalayas? Do you know a firework show...”可知，作者用两个问句开启全文，是通过提问的方式开篇。 2．根据第一段“They wanted to mix art with nature.”和第二段“The brand said the event was to celebrate nature’s beauty with art.”可知，这场烟花秀的主要目的是将艺术与自然之美融合。 3．根据第三段“could affect these animals and plants... might make soil and water dirty”可知，本段主要讲述这场烟花秀带来的有害影响。 4．根据第四段品牌方使用可自然降解材料、活动后清理现场的举措，目的是减少活动对环境的影响，impact 和 effect 同义，意为“影响、作用”。 5．根据文章最后一句“It tells us art is valuable, but we shouldn’t hurt the environment for art.”可知，文章核心讨论如何平衡艺术活动与环保，因此下文最可能写如何合理地将艺术与自然环境相结合。 Passage 6 （25-26九年级上·河南南阳·期中）Balloons (气球) are a symbol of celebration. People love to release (释放) colorful balloons for special events, such as festivals and ceremonies. Colorful balloons may look pretty, but they can bring about some serious problems. After balloons are released, they can end up hundreds of kilometers away from where they were released, causing great harm to the environment and wildlife. Popular helium (氦) balloons can travel up to 800km before they fall to earth. This means they can fly almost everywhere, including oceans, mountains and farmlands. Well, in our daily life, there are mainly two kinds of balloons. One is latex (乳胶) balloons. In fact, it will take them six months to four years to decompose (分解) and they can cause pollution before they do. The other is mylar balloons. They are a kind of plastic balloons which cannot be decomposed and almost stay in the environment forever. Besides the balloons themselves, the ribbons (丝带), which are used for tying balloons, are also made of plastic. All of these materials, if littered, can add to the amount of plastic waste in our environment. At the same time, it can result in the injury or death of animals. Balloons may break up into smaller pieces over time. Sea animals often mistake them for food, and if eaten, those small pieces can make them hard to breathe and then cause them to die. Besides, they can also easily get themselves caught in balloon ribbons. Even worse, it has been found that some birds are collecting balloon pieces, thinking that they’re food, and even feeding them to their babies. So, don’t release balloons any more so as to reduce the pollution and protect animals. Every small step we take can make the world better, healthier and cleaner. 1．Paragraph 2 mainly tells us that ________. A．helium balloons can fly very far away B．releasing balloons can produce rubbish C．balloons are very important in our daily life D．balloons can have a bad influence on a wide area 2．What’s the biggest difference between mylar balloons and latex balloons? A．Mylar balloons can’t be decomposed over time. B．Mylar balloons can be used for the second time. C．Mylar balloons’ pieces won’t turn into plastic waste. D．Mylar balloons’ pieces could cause the death of animals. 3．What does the underlined word “them” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Mylar balloons. B．Latex balloons. C．Balloon ribbons. D．All kinds of balloons. 4．Which of the following is not a result caused by released balloons? A．Adding to plastic waste in the environment. B．Causing injury or death to sea animals. C．Helping birds find more food for their babies. D．Making sea animals hard to breathe after eating balloon pieces. 5．What is the passage written for? A．To introduce two different kinds of balloons. B．To explain how balloons travel far away. C．To advise people not to release balloons to protect the environment and animals. D．To suggest using other eco-friendly items instead of balloons for celebrations. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文介绍了释放气球对环境和野生动物造成的危害，并呼吁人们停止释放气球以保护环境。 【详解】 1．第二段提到“After balloons are released, they can end up hundreds of kilometers away...causing great harm to the environment and wildlife...they can fly almost everywhere, including oceans, mountains and farmlands.”  强调的是气球会影响广阔的区域（到处飞行，造成危害）。 2．原文第三段“latex balloons...will take them six months to four years to decompose...mylar balloons...cannot be decomposed and almost stay in the environment forever.”指出，这两种气球最大的区别是：乳胶气球可以分解，密拉气球不能分解。 3．划线词them出现在句子“One is latex balloons. In fact, it will take them six months to four years to decompose”（它们需要6个月到4年才能分解）。them指代的是前文提到的latex balloons。 4．原文第四段“Sea animals often mistake them for food...make them hard to breathe...cause them to die...birds are collecting balloon pieces, thinking that they’re food, and even feeding them to their babies.”  指出，鸟类把气球碎片当食物喂给幼鸟，但这不是“帮助”鸟类找到食物，而是伤害它们。C不属于气球带来的危害，是错误表述。 5．文章开头指出气球的问题，中间详细说明危害，结尾呼吁“don’t release balloons any more so as to reduce the pollution and protect animals.” 说明作者写这篇文章的目的是建议人们不要释放气球以保护环境和动物。 主题03 人与自我——实践品质与工匠精神 Passage 7 （25-26九年级上·福建莆田·期末） 505 ratings (评分) 260+ bought in the past month Price: 1500 Model name: Rnabot CH-03 Ways to connect: Wireless (无线的) Special point: Clear night vision (夜视) About this robot:▶CH-03 is a robot that helps you stay in touch with your pets.

It’s small and can move around in your house”，直接说明它是“可移动的机器人”。 2．文中提到“CH-03 saves videos on a memory card... You can download videos on your phone”，说明它能保存宠物视频。其他选项（陪宠物玩、检查健康、做饭）均未提及，因此选 “Save videos of your pets”。 3．产品信息顶部明确写着“260+ bought in the past month”，即过去一个月购买数量超过260台，因此“260 or more”符合题意。 4．文中“What’s in the box”部分列出包含：CH-03机器人×1、USB充电器×1、32GB内存卡×1、说明书×1。故选A充电器。 5．全文介绍一款智能机器人，涉及无线连接、夜视、视频存储等科技功能，属于科技产品范畴，因此应归为报纸的 “Technology” 版面。 Passage 8 （25-26九年级上·江西九江·期末）Nowadays, self-driving cars are no longer just a dream. They use special cameras and tools to “see” the road and run on their own without human control. People hold different opinions about this new technology. Self-driving cars have many advantages. First of all, they can make driving much safer. He Xia, an AI expert, notes that over 90% of the world’s traffic deaths come from human mistakes such as not paying attention or being tired, and self-driving technology can greatly cut down these. Some self-driving taxis in the US have traveled millions of miles, with an accident rate 96% lower than that of human drivers. Besides, they can help people who can’t drive, like old people or those who have trouble walking, to travel freely. In some Chinese cities, self-driving buses connect living areas and subway stations, solving people’s “last mile” travel problems. They also make it possible to reduce traffic problems by choosing the best routes on their own. However, there are still some problems to solve. Professor Wang Baohui points out that checking tools and proper information use are the main problems for self-driving cars. For example, the technology is not yet perfect—it may not work well in bad weather like heavy rain or snow. What’s more, these cars are very expensive now, so not everyone can afford them. There are also problems about law: if an accident happens, who should be responsible? This is a question that requires governments to set clear rules. In my opinion, it should not be forgotten that self-driving technology has helped with driving safety and become easy to use. But the present technology and law problems also need to be taken seriously. With the common efforts of technology researchers, governments and companies, the technology will be improved and rules will be made more complete. For now, we should view its development wisely and give it time to get better. 1．What do self-driving cars use to “see” the road? A．Human eyes. B．Special cameras and tools. C．Mobile phones. D．Traffic lights. 2．What does the underlined word these in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Accidents caused by self-driving technology failures. B．Accidents caused by human mistakes. C．Accidents happening to taxis in the US. D．Accidents caused by bad weather. 3．What can we infer from paragraph 3? A．Self-driving technology will never be perfect. B．Bad weather has no influence on self-driving cars. C．The high cost of self-driving cars makes them less popular. D．Governments have made complete rules for self-driving accidents. 4．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards self-driving technology? A．He or she is positive and careful. B．He or she fully supports it. C．He or she is completely against it. D．He or she cares nothing about it. 5．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了自动驾驶汽车技术的发展现状、优势、面临的挑战以及作者的看法。 1．细节理解题。根据“They use special cameras and tools to ‘see’ the road and run on their own without human control.”可知，自动驾驶汽车使用特殊的相机和工具“看路”。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“over 90% of the world’s traffic deaths come from human mistakes such as not paying attention or being tired.”可知，代词通常指代前文最近提到的复数名词或概念，这里 “these” 明确指代前句的 “human mistakes” 导致的交通死亡事故。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“these cars are very expensive now, so not everyone can afford them.”可知，“昂贵”和“并非人人都能负担”可以合理推断出“使其不那么普及”。这是最符合逻辑的推断。故选C。 4．观点态度题。根据“helped with...”, “need to be taken seriously”, “will be improved”, “view its development wisely”可知，作者的态度是积极而谨慎的。故选A。 5．篇章结构题。综合全文可知，第一段：总起，引出自动驾驶汽车这一话题，说明人们对该技术看法不一； 第二、三段：分述，讲自动驾驶汽车的诸多优势，及其目前存在的待解决问题；第四段：总结，表明作者对该技术的理性态度，展望其未来发展。因此，本文属于“总分总”结构。选项D结构图符合。故选D。 Passage 9 （25-26九年级上·福建厦门·期中）Which is more important to our lives, the internet or the washing machine? Many of us might answer, “The internet!” The internet helps us gather information. It allows us to see our friends in real time. However, Ha-Joon Chang, a professor at Cambridge University, doesn’t agree. He believes the washing machine has changed the world more than the internet. That sounds strange, but Chang is not alone. Many experts have called the washing machine the greatest invention of the 20th century. Why? Let’s be honest: How many of us love to do the laundry? It seems the cycle of washing, drying and ironing never ends. It’s so tiring and boring! However, before the washing machine was invented, women often had to spend lots of time washing clothes. Many of them suffered from back pain. The washing machine freed women from the laundry. Many women found they had enough time to enter the labor market. As a result, the social status of women began to change. Today, most women can make an independent living. They don’t have to rely on men any longer. To better understand the influence of washing machines, we can look at societies without them. In many African countries, doing the laundry takes women six hours a day. Women there hardly have time to work or start a business. It is hard for them to find a way out of poverty. Perhaps things will be a lot different if they have washing machines. We often take the washing machine for granted. But these machines do play an important role in our lives. They have greatly changed the world. 1．According to the author, Professor Ha-Joon Chang thinks ________. A．the internet is the greatest invention of the 20th century B．the washing machine is the greatest invention of the 20th century C．the internet has changed the world more than the washing machine D．the washing machine has changed the world more than the internet 2．The underlined phrase “do the laundry” (in paragraph 3) probably means “________”. A．wash dishes B．do shopping C．wash clothes D．wash vegetables 3．According to the article, the washing machine allows women to ________. A．become rich B．wash more clothes C．improve their communities D．have enough time to work 4．By mentioning African countries in paragraph 5, the author mainly wanted to ________. A．suggest people give women in Africa some washing machines B．explain why people often take the washing machine for granted C．help people better understand the influence of washing machines D．show it is boring to do the washing, drying and ironing all the time 5．Which of the following statements is NOT true? A．In the past, women often had to rely on men. B．Many African countries do not have washing machines. C．The washing machine was invented during the 20th century. D．African women usually spend 30 hours doing the laundry every week. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，探讨了互联网和洗衣机哪个对生活更重要的话题。作者通过引用剑桥大学教授Ha-Joon Chang的观点，指出洗衣机对世界的影响比互联网更大，并详细阐述了洗衣机如何改变了女性的社会地位和生活方式，同时通过非洲国家的例子进一步说明了洗衣机的重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“He believes the washing machine has changed the world more than the internet.”可知，Ha-Joon Chang教授认为洗衣机对世界的影响比互联网更大。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“How many of us love to do the laundry? It seems the cycle of washing, drying and ironing never ends.”以及后文提到的“before the washing machine was invented, women often had to spend lots of time washing clothes”可知，“do the laundry”指的是洗衣服的过程，即“wash clothes”。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Many women found they had enough time to enter the labor market.”可知，洗衣机让女性有足够的时间进入劳动力市场，即有足够的时间去工作。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“To better understand the influence of washing machines, we can look at societies without them.”以及后文对非洲国家没有洗衣机的情况下女性生活状况的描述，可知作者提到非洲国家主要是为了帮助人们更好地理解洗衣机的影响。故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“In many African countries, doing the laundry takes women six hours a day.”可知，在许多非洲国家，女性每天要花6个小时洗衣服，那么一周就是42个小时，而不是30个小时，D选项表述错误。故选D。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 阅读理解（应用文&议论文） 主题01 人与社会——家乡和社会变迁 Passage 1 （26-27九年级上·湖北黄冈·阶段检测）How long have you been away from home?

Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·安徽宿州·阶段检测）A Letter to My Grandson Dear Joe, I’m writing you a letter to tell you about what the world used to be like when I was young. Life used to be very different then. We didn’t have cell phones when we wanted to talk to our friends. We didn’t have e-mails, either, so we had to write letters. When we traveled from town to town, we used to walk or ride horses or take a cart (手推车). Later we had buses but very few people had cars. Air travel was a luxury (奢侈品) and we used to dream of riding on an airplane but now everyone does. It’s so common. Food is another big difference. There weren’t any supermarkets so we used to grow our own food. We would exchange some with people from other towns to buy the things we didn’t have. We didn’t have a refrigerator (冰箱) so we kept things cool in a special room downstairs. But the biggest difference is electricity. We didn’t have any in our town. At night, we used to light candles when we wanted light and we burned coal (煤) or wood to keep warm. We didn’t have television. In summer, we used to go swimming in the river. Life used to be very different, but we were happy. Love, Grandpa 1．This letter was written by ________.

He thinks that people were polite and nice in the 1930s but they are greedy (贪婪的) in the modern society. But his friend thinks that living conditions have improved a lot and humans are still kind today. So what do you think? ②Just like Aaron Whiteside, nostalgic people think the days in the past were much better than now. People lived more happily with fewer worries in the past. In the old days, people sat around a table together, sharing food and conversations. But now most UK families spend about 20 minutes on supper before hurrying off. Families know less about each other’s lives. There is much more pressure on making a living. ③Besides, people bought fewer things in the past, which was better for the environment and made people more creative. For example, bands from the 1960s, such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, were much better than today’s. Creative expression is now being lost to technology and greed. ④ ▲ . In their opinion, both men and women are able to live how they like now. However, women’s position was quite low in the past because they were expected to stay at home, looking after babies and doing a lot of housework. Most women lived a boring life at that time. ⑤What’s more, it is agreed that children get better education today. That’s because there are more schools and colleges in the modern society. Thanks to technology development, we live in a shared world where we share information, services and culture, and that teaches us new perspectives (视角). 1．Aaron Whiteside and his friend are mentioned as examples to ________. A．explain the importance of being polite and nice B．compare people’s lives in different places C．give useful suggestions on keeping friendship D．show different opinions on life now and then 2．Nostalgic people in Paragraph 2 refer to the people who ________. A．care about money B．miss the past C．care about health D．refuse to change 3．The missing part in the fourth paragraph marked as “ ▲ ” should be ________. A．So, many people prefer to live in the past B．Besides, life in the past was simple C．However, others hold that life now is fairer D．Actually, people now are much more creative 4．The structure of this passage may be ________. A． B． C． D． Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·辽宁丹东·期中）Over recent years, letter writing has been replaced by other ways of communicating. Technology has developed so fast that we now expect to be able to see people at any time and get a response immediately. It feels much more natural for us to send text messages and emails than writing letters. It is true that these modern ways of communicating have their own advantages. We can talk to people all over the world even in a few seconds. Communicating with people by sending text messages or emails can help us save time and receive a reply as soon as possible. We can also correct mistakes in our e-mails before sending them. But if we make a mistake in a letter, we have to cross it out or start again. But have you ever thought about what we are losing? Yes, we are forgetting about the art of letter writing. Almost everybody would say that reading a hand-written letter from a friend is enjoyable. When you know someone has spent the time writing a letter for you, especially a birthday letter, there’s something very special in your heart. On the other hand, not only will the person receiving the letter benefit from a lovely envelope (信封), but also the writer himself. When we know we’re doing something that will make our friends very happy, we feel good about ourselves, too. In addition, writing a letter can improve your language skills and you can also learn some new expressions. 1．What is one advantage of modern communication mentioned in the text? A．It helps to improve our handwriting. B．It allows us to correct mistakes easily. C．It makes us feel more special. D．It helps us learn new expressions. 2．According to the text, how might the writer of a letter feel? A．Worried about making mistakes. B．Happy to make his/ her friend happy. C．Stressed about spending too much time. D．Sad about the loss of communication skills. 3．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of letter writing? A．Bringing joy to the receiver. B．Making the writer feel good. C．Helping to save a lot of time. D．Improving language skills. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The Disadvantages of Modern Technology B．The Importance of Writing Letters C．The Art of Letter Writing Should Not Be Forgotten D．How to Improve Your Communication Skills Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·陕西商洛·期末）Mrs. Li is over 80 years old. She has lived in Beijing all her life. A reporter interviewed her yesterday. The following are their questions and answers. Q: What was your life like in the past? Mrs. Li: My family lived in a tiny house on a farm. My father was a postman, and he often worked twelve hours a day outside in the winter cold or in the summer heat. My mum was a farm girl before she met my father. She was a kind and loving mother. She didn’t go out to work. There were five children in my family, and looking after us was more than a full-time job. The food we ate was simple. We could only eat meat once or twice a year. I wasn’t sent to school because my family couldn’t afford the tuition (学费). Q: How has life changed? Mrs. Li: Generally speaking, I think life is better today. For example, families have got smaller than they were in the past. The role of women has changed too. My daughter is really fortunate. She has a good education. I’m happy that she can go to work even after getting married, but sometimes I feel lonely because she can’t come to see me often. Transport and travel are easier today. When I was young, I went everywhere on foot. Now you can take the bus, drive the car or ride the shared bikes.

Do you know a firework show that took place in the Himalayas? A famous outdoor brand (品牌商) and a well-known artist held a firework show in the Himalayas on September 19th, 2025. They wanted to mix art with nature. The firework show was in a high area of the Himalayas. The brand said the event was to celebrate nature’s beauty with art. However, many people worried that setting off fireworks in this area might harm the local environment. Some environmental experts (专家) said there were many special wild animals and plants in the Himalayas. The loud sound and bright light of the fireworks could affect these animals and plants. What’s more, the rest parts of the fireworks might make soil and water dirty. As we know, soil and water are very important for the environment. The brand said they did things to reduce environmental impact. For example, they used materials (材料) that could break down naturally and cleaned up after the event. But the public still didn’t believe them. Some people thought no firework show should be held in such an area. Local officials have also started to check the event. They say it’s important to balance (平衡) art activities and environmental protection. This is especially true for the areas like the Himalayas. This event has started a bigger discussion. People are talking about the duty of artists and brands to protect nature when they try to express art. It tells us art is valuable, but we shouldn’t hurt the environment for art. 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By asking questions. B．By listing numbers. C．By giving an example. D．By telling a story. 2．What is the main purpose of the firework show? A．To improve the brand’s new product. B．To mix art with the beauty of nature. C．To show the artist’s latest painting. D．To pay attention to environmental protection. 3．Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.

B．Reason. C．Policy. D．Development. 5．What may the writer write next? A．Where can we hold the firework show? B．How can we protect the Himalayas? C．What should we do to prevent the event like this? D．How can we mix the art with the environment properly? Passage 6 （25-26九年级上·河南南阳·期中）Balloons (气球) are a symbol of celebration. People love to release (释放) colorful balloons for special events, such as festivals and ceremonies. Colorful balloons may look pretty, but they can bring about some serious problems. After balloons are released, they can end up hundreds of kilometers away from where they were released, causing great harm to the environment and wildlife. Popular helium (氦) balloons can travel up to 800km before they fall to earth. This means they can fly almost everywhere, including oceans, mountains and farmlands. Well, in our daily life, there are mainly two kinds of balloons. One is latex (乳胶) balloons. In fact, it will take them six months to four years to decompose (分解) and they can cause pollution before they do. The other is mylar balloons. They are a kind of plastic balloons which cannot be decomposed and almost stay in the environment forever. Besides the balloons themselves, the ribbons (丝带), which are used for tying balloons, are also made of plastic. All of these materials, if littered, can add to the amount of plastic waste in our environment. At the same time, it can result in the injury or death of animals. Balloons may break up into smaller pieces over time. Sea animals often mistake them for food, and if eaten, those small pieces can make them hard to breathe and then cause them to die. Besides, they can also easily get themselves caught in balloon ribbons. Even worse, it has been found that some birds are collecting balloon pieces, thinking that they’re food, and even feeding them to their babies. So, don’t release balloons any more so as to reduce the pollution and protect animals. Every small step we take can make the world better, healthier and cleaner. 1．Paragraph 2 mainly tells us that ________. A．helium balloons can fly very far away B．releasing balloons can produce rubbish C．balloons are very important in our daily life D．balloons can have a bad influence on a wide area 2．What’s the biggest difference between mylar balloons and latex balloons? A．Mylar balloons can’t be decomposed over time. B．Mylar balloons can be used for the second time. C．Mylar balloons’ pieces won’t turn into plastic waste. D．Mylar balloons’ pieces could cause the death of animals. 3．What does the underlined word “them” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Mylar balloons. B．Latex balloons. C．Balloon ribbons. D．All kinds of balloons. 4．Which of the following is not a result caused by released balloons? A．Adding to plastic waste in the environment. B．Causing injury or death to sea animals. C．Helping birds find more food for their babies. D．Making sea animals hard to breathe after eating balloon pieces. 5．What is the passage written for? A．To introduce two different kinds of balloons. B．To explain how balloons travel far away. C．To advise people not to release balloons to protect the environment and animals. D．To suggest using other eco-friendly items instead of balloons for celebrations. 主题03 人与自我——实践品质与工匠精神 Passage 7 （25-26九年级上·福建莆田·期末） 505 ratings (评分) 260+ bought in the past month Price: 1500 Model name: Rnabot CH-03 Ways to connect: Wireless (无线的) Special point: Clear night vision (夜视) About this robot:▶CH-03 is a robot that helps you stay in touch with your pets.

Passage 8 （25-26九年级上·江西九江·期末）Nowadays, self-driving cars are no longer just a dream. They use special cameras and tools to “see” the road and run on their own without human control. People hold different opinions about this new technology. Self-driving cars have many advantages. First of all, they can make driving much safer. He Xia, an AI expert, notes that over 90% of the world’s traffic deaths come from human mistakes such as not paying attention or being tired, and self-driving technology can greatly cut down these. Some self-driving taxis in the US have traveled millions of miles, with an accident rate 96% lower than that of human drivers. Besides, they can help people who can’t drive, like old people or those who have trouble walking, to travel freely. In some Chinese cities, self-driving buses connect living areas and subway stations, solving people’s “last mile” travel problems. They also make it possible to reduce traffic problems by choosing the best routes on their own. However, there are still some problems to solve. Professor Wang Baohui points out that checking tools and proper information use are the main problems for self-driving cars. For example, the technology is not yet perfect—it may not work well in bad weather like heavy rain or snow. What’s more, these cars are very expensive now, so not everyone can afford them. There are also problems about law: if an accident happens, who should be responsible? This is a question that requires governments to set clear rules. In my opinion, it should not be forgotten that self-driving technology has helped with driving safety and become easy to use. But the present technology and law problems also need to be taken seriously. With the common efforts of technology researchers, governments and companies, the technology will be improved and rules will be made more complete. For now, we should view its development wisely and give it time to get better. 1．What do self-driving cars use to “see” the road? A．Human eyes. B．Special cameras and tools. C．Mobile phones. D．Traffic lights. 2．What does the underlined word these in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Accidents caused by self-driving technology failures. B．Accidents caused by human mistakes. C．Accidents happening to taxis in the US. D．Accidents caused by bad weather. 3．What can we infer from paragraph 3? A．Self-driving technology will never be perfect. B．Bad weather has no influence on self-driving cars. C．The high cost of self-driving cars makes them less popular. D．Governments have made complete rules for self-driving accidents. 4．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards self-driving technology? A．He or she is positive and careful. B．He or she fully supports it. C．He or she is completely against it. D．He or she cares nothing about it. 5．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． Passage 9 （25-26九年级上·福建厦门·期中）Which is more important to our lives, the internet or the washing machine? Many of us might answer, “The internet!” The internet helps us gather information. It allows us to see our friends in real time. However, Ha-Joon Chang, a professor at Cambridge University, doesn’t agree. He believes the washing machine has changed the world more than the internet. That sounds strange, but Chang is not alone. Many experts have called the washing machine the greatest invention of the 20th century. Why? Let’s be honest: How many of us love to do the laundry? It seems the cycle of washing, drying and ironing never ends. It’s so tiring and boring! However, before the washing machine was invented, women often had to spend lots of time washing clothes. Many of them suffered from back pain. The washing machine freed women from the laundry. Many women found they had enough time to enter the labor market. As a result, the social status of women began to change. Today, most women can make an independent living. They don’t have to rely on men any longer. To better understand the influence of washing machines, we can look at societies without them. In many African countries, doing the laundry takes women six hours a day. Women there hardly have time to work or start a business. It is hard for them to find a way out of poverty. Perhaps things will be a lot different if they have washing machines. We often take the washing machine for granted. But these machines do play an important role in our lives. They have greatly changed the world. 1．According to the author, Professor Ha-Joon Chang thinks ________.
