I remembered a narrow road, old houses and a small school with broken windows. But when we arrived, I could not believe my eyes. The road was wide and clean. New houses stood along it, and a small park had taken the place of the old rubbish dump. "What happened?" I asked. My uncle laughed. "The railway came in 2019," he said. "Now people can sell their fruit in the city in the morning." We visited the school. It has a new building and a computer room. The children were reading in a bright library. In the evening, we sat outside and talked. My father said, "The village has changed, but the stars are the same." I looked up. He was right. Some things change, and some things stay. ( B ) 5.

In the 1960s, China had a serious food problem. Yuan decided to develop a new kind of rice. He worked in the fields every day, under the sun and in the rain. Many people thought he was wasting his time. But he kept trying. In 1973, his team succeeded. The new rice produced about 20% more than ordinary rice. Later, it was grown in many countries. Yuan did not stop. In his 80s, he was still working on "sea rice" — rice that can grow in salty water. He once said, "I have two dreams: to enjoy the cool under the rice plants, and to see rice grow all over the world." Yuan died in 2021. Millions of people came to say goodbye. He is remembered as the "father of hybrid rice". ( A ) 9. What problem did China have in the 1960s? A. A food shortage. B. Water pollution. C. Too many people. D. No farmland. ( C ) 10. When did his team succeed? A. In 1930. B. In 1960. C. In 1973. D. In 2021. ( A ) 11. What did Yuan work on in his 80s? A. Sea rice. B. Fruit. C. Wheat. D. Flowers. ( B ) 12. How do people remember Yuan Longping? A. As a singer. B. As the father of hybrid rice. C. As a writer. D. As a doctor. D Some students like to study alone. Others study in groups. Which is better? Studying alone has some advantages. You can work at your own speed. If you do not understand something, you can stop and think. There is no one to disturb you. But studying in groups has advantages too. When you explain an idea to others, you understand it better. You can also learn from your classmates' mistakes. And when you feel tired, friends can encourage you. The problem with groups is that they can become a chat. If nobody stays on task, two hours pass and nothing is done. So what is the best way? I think it depends on the subject. For maths, working alone first and then checking answers with a friend works well. For history or English, a group discussion can be very useful. The key is not "alone or together". The key is "active or passive". If you are thinking, asking and explaining, you are learning — whether you are alone or with others. ( B ) 13. What is an advantage of studying alone? A. Friends can help you. B. You work at your own speed. C. You can chat freely. D. It is always faster. ( B ) 14. What problem can study groups have? A. Too much noise. B. They become a chat. C. There are no books. D. There are too many people. ( B ) 15. According to the writer, what is the key? A. Alone or together. B. Active or passive. C. Maths or English. D. Morning or evening. ( B ) 16. What does the writer suggest for maths? A. Study in a group first. B. Work alone, then check with a friend. C. Never study alone. D. Ask the teacher at once. E When I was in Grade Eight, I had a history teacher named Mr Zhao. He never asked us to memorize dates. Instead, he told stories. One day, he drew a long line on the blackboard. "This is a timeline," he said. "Every event has a place on it." Then he asked us to put the events in order. We argued, laughed and made mistakes. But by the end of the class, we remembered the order. Another day, he gave us a strange task. "Make a story with these five names," he said. The stories were crazy — a queen on a bicycle, a soldier eating noodles. But I still remember those names today. Mr Zhao said, "Your brain does not like lists. It likes stories, pictures and surprises." Last year, I met him in the street. He asked, "Do you still remember the Tang Dynasty?" I did — because I remembered his story about a poet who lost his hat. ( B ) 17. What did Mr Zhao never ask students to do? A. Tell stories. B. Memorize dates. C. Draw lines. D. Work in groups. ( B ) 18. What did the class do with the timeline? A. They copied it. B. They put events in order. C. They cleaned it. D. They took a photo of it. ( C ) 19. What does the brain like, according to Mr Zhao? A. Lists. B. Numbers. C. Stories and pictures. D. Long texts. ( B ) 20. Why does the writer still remember the Tang Dynasty? A. He read a book. B. He remembered a story. C. He wrote it down. D. He saw a film. F Sleep is not a waste of time. While you sleep, your brain is busy. Scientists have found that the brain sorts information during sleep. Everything you learn in the day is "filed" at night. If you do not sleep enough, the filing does not happen, and you forget. In one experiment, students learned a list of words. Half of them slept for eight hours; the other half stayed awake. The next day, the sleeping group remembered 20% more. Sleep also helps you solve problems. Many scientists say they found answers in their dreams. When you stop thinking hard, your brain connects ideas in new ways. How much sleep do teenagers need? About nine hours. But many students sleep only six or seven. They drink coffee to stay awake, and then they cannot sleep at night. So before an exam, do not study all night. Close your book, go to bed, and let your brain do its work. ( B ) 21. What does the brain do during sleep? A. Nothing. B. It sorts information. C. It eats energy. D. It stops working. ( B ) 22. In the experiment, how much more did the sleeping group remember? A. 10%. B. 20%. C. 50%. D. 80%. ( C ) 23. How much sleep do teenagers need? A. Six hours. B. Seven hours. C. About nine hours. D. Twelve hours. ( C ) 24. What is the writer's advice before an exam? A. Drink coffee. B. Study all night. C. Sleep well. D. Skip breakfast.

H Every Saturday morning, I go to the community library. I am a volunteer there. My job is simple: I help children find books and read with them. At first, I thought it would be boring. I was wrong. There is a boy named Xiaoyu. He is eight and very shy. He did not speak for three weeks. Then one day, he pointed at a book about dinosaurs and said, "This one." We read it together. He asked me why dinosaurs disappeared. I did not know the answer, so we looked it up. Now he asks a question every week. Last month, the library held a reading day. Xiaoyu stood in front of thirty people and told a story. His voice was soft, but he finished it. Everyone clapped. Afterwards, he ran to me and said, "I was not afraid!" I have volunteered for a year. I have learned that helping others is not about giving time. It is about being there. ( B ) 29. How often does the writer volunteer? A. Every day. B. Every Saturday. C. Every Sunday. D. Once a month. ( B ) 30. What is the writer's job at the library? A. Clean the library. B. Help children find and read books. C. Teach maths. D. Sell books. ( B ) 31. What did Xiaoyu do last month? A. He sang a song. B. He told a story. C. He wrote a book. D. He asked a question. ( B ) 32. What has the writer learned? A. Reading is boring. B. Helping others is about being there. C. Children are all shy. D. Libraries are quiet. I Your memory is not one thing. Scientists describe three kinds. The first is working memory. It holds information for a few seconds — like a phone number you just heard. Most people can hold only about seven items at once. That is why long lists are hard to remember. The second is short-term memory. It keeps information for minutes or hours. If you read a page and then close the book, what you remember is short-term. The third is long-term memory. It can last for years. How does information get there? Through repetition and meaning. If you use a new word five times in real conversations, it moves into long-term memory. This is why "cramming" does not work well. You can remember a lot for one day, but most of it disappears. Spreading your study over a week works much better. So the next time you study, do not ask "How much can I remember tonight?" Ask "How can I use this again tomorrow?" ( A ) 33. How long does working memory hold information? A. A few seconds. B. Hours. C. Years. D. Forever. ( B ) 34. How many items can most people hold at once? A. Three. B. About seven. C. Twenty. D. Fifty. ( B ) 35. How does information move into long-term memory? A. By sleeping. B. Through repetition and meaning. C. By reading fast. D. By listening. ( B ) 36. What does the writer say about cramming? A. It works very well. B. Most of it disappears. C. It is the best way. D. It saves time. J Many students now take photos of the blackboard instead of writing notes. Is that a good idea? It is certainly fast. You do not miss anything, and your hand does not get tired. But fast is not the same as useful. When you write notes by hand, your brain has to choose what is important. You cannot write every word, so you decide, shorten and connect. That thinking is part of learning. When you take a photo, you decide nothing. The information stays in your phone, not in your head. And how often do you look at those photos again? For most students, the answer is "almost never". Some studies show that students who write notes by hand understand better than those who type or photograph them. This does not mean phones are bad. A photo can help you remember a difficult diagram. But it should not replace thinking. So use your phone for what it is good at — and use your pen for what it is good at. ( B ) 37. What do many students do now? A. They write notes. B. They photograph the blackboard. C. They read books. D. They ask questions. ( B ) 38. What happens when you write notes by hand? A. You copy every word. B. You choose what is important. C. You get tired quickly. D. You learn nothing. ( B ) 39. What do some studies show? A. Typing is better. B. Handwriting helps understanding. C. Photos are the best. D. Phones are always bad. ( B ) 40. What is the writer's view on phones? A. Never use them. B. They help with diagrams but should not replace thinking. C. They are useless. D. They are better than pens. 初中英语期中复习专题练 第 页 共 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 人教版九年级上册英语期中复习专题练-07阅读理解 学生版 人教版 · 九年级上册 · Unit 1–4 英语期中复习专题练 第 7 专题　阅读理解 学生版 题　量 建议用时 适用范围 10 篇 50 分钟 人教版九年级上册 Unit 1–4 姓　名：____________　　班　级：____________　　得　分：____________ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Study Skills Workshop Do you want to learn better and faster?
