The needle in Chen Yuxi's hand moves so fast that you can hardly follow it. A tiny lotus flower slowly appears on the white silk—first the pink, then the yellow, then a thin line of green. Chen is only sixteen, but she has been holding a needle for eleven years.
Chen grew up in Zhenhu, a small town near Suzhou. In Zhenhu, almost every grandmother can embroider (刺绣). Chen's grandmother was one of them. When Chen was five, she sat beside her grandmother and learned her first stitches (针脚). “At the beginning my lines were crooked (歪斜的) and I wanted to give up,” she says. “Grandma told me that one perfect stitch is better than a hundred careless ones.”
Su embroidery is famous for its smooth silk thread and its bright colours. A small picture may need 100,000 stitches and three months of work. Today machines can copy many designs, but they cannot copy the small differences. Those differences are exactly what make a piece alive.
Last year Chen began making short videos of her work. Some of them have been watched millions of times, and many young people have asked her how to begin. “I'm not a master yet,” she says with a smile. “I'm just passing the needle on.”
1.How long has Chen Yuxi been practising embroidery?
2.How many stitches may a small picture need?
3.Why can't machines take the place of hand embroidery?
4.What does Chen mean by “passing the needle on”?
5.What is the passage mainly about?
【话题】Unit 3 Never give up · 记叙文(苏绣传承)
【答案】1.For eleven years. 2.100,000. 3.They can't copy small differences. 4.She is teaching others embroidery. 5.A young embroidery artist.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了苏州镇湖十六岁的苏绣小传人陈雨曦:她五岁起跟着奶奶学绣,深知“一针不苟”的道理;如今她用短视频让更多年轻人了解并学习苏绣,把针线“传”了下去。
1.第一段最后一句“she has been holding a needle for eleven years”直接给出时间;注意疑问词 How long 问的是时长,答语用 for + 时间段,也可答“Eleven years.”。
2.第三段“A small picture may need 100,000 stitches”直接给出数字;问 How many 答数字即可,数字本身不算单词,不必把 stitches 写入答案。
3.第三段末尾 but they cannot copy the small differences 说明机器复制不了“让作品有生命的小差别”。题干 took the place of 与原文 replace 同义,需用 cannot 转述。
4.“passing the needle on”(把针传下去)是比喻说法。上文提到她拍短视频、许多年轻人来问她怎么入门,可见她是在把这门手艺教给更多人,即传承。推断题要结合上下文,不能只译字面。
5.全文围绕十六岁的苏绣传人陈雨曦展开:学艺、坚持、用短视频传承。主旨题要抓“人物+核心事件”,答语用名词短语概括,不要写成完整句子。
阅读短文,回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过6个单词。
If you are a Grade 9 student, you have probably heard this advice a hundred times: go to bed earlier. But between homework, WeChat and the half-finished video on your phone, nine o'clock easily becomes eleven.
Scientists have found that teenagers need eight to ten hours of sleep, one or two hours more than adults. The reason is not laziness. During the teenage years the body clock shifts (变化), so the brain does not feel sleepy until about eleven at night, and it wants to stay in bed until eight in the morning. School, however, still starts at half past seven.
What happens when sleep is too short? First, memory. Our brain sorts and stores what we learned during the day while we sleep. Cut the night short, and the new words and formulas (公式) have less time to settle. Second, mood. A tired teenager often becomes angry over small things—a lost pen can look like a disaster. Third, growth. Growth hormone is released mainly during deep sleep.
The good news is that sleep can be trained. Put the phone outside the bedroom an hour before bed, keep the same bedtime at weekends, and let morning light into the room. None of these costs money. They only ask you to control yourself a little.
1.How much sleep do teenagers need every night?
2.Why do teenagers feel sleepy late at night?
3.What may happen to a student who often sleeps too little? (Give one example.)
4.What does the underlined word “settle” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
5.What does the writer advise students to do with their phones at night?
【话题】Unit 2 Teenage problems · 科普说明文(睡眠)
【答案】1.Eight to ten hours. 2.Because their body clock shifts. 3.He may become angry easily. 4.Become fixed in the memory. 5.Keep them outside the bedroom.
【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文。文章解释了青少年晚睡并非懒惰,而是生物钟后移所致;接着从记忆、情绪、生长三个方面说明睡眠不足的危害,最后给出可操作的“睡眠训练”建议。
1.第二段第一句“teenagers need eight to ten hours of sleep”直接给出答案;注意与成年人对比的一句只是补充说明,不是答案。
2.第二段 the body clock shifts, so the brain does not feel sleepy until about eleven at night 说明“生物钟后移”导致晚睡。回答 Why 要用 because 从句或不定式,不能只写 body clock。
3.第三段列举三个后果:memory、mood、growth。题干要求“举一例”,答其中任意一点即可,也可答“He may forget things easily.”或“He may grow more slowly.”,但不可照抄长句。
4.settle 本义为“沉淀”,此处指睡眠时大脑把白天所学“固化存牢”。上文 sorts and stores what we learned 与下文语境提示了词义。词义猜测题要从上下文找线索,不要查字面直译。
5.第四段 Put the phone outside the bedroom an hour before bed 是作者的建议;答语用动词原形开头的祈使结构或 keep + 宾语 + 介词短语,注意 phone 要改为复数 them。

Last September, students at a middle school in Nanjing got a new subject: labour (劳动). Twice a week they put away their textbooks and go to work—on the roof of the teaching building.
The roof has been turned into a small farm. Each class has two vegetable beds. Students plant, water and record the growth of their plants in a notebook. In the school kitchen, other groups learn to cook three simple dishes, and in the workshop (工坊) a few students are learning to repair bicycles.
“I could not even wash a bowl last year,” says Li Wei, a Grade 9 student. “Now I can cook tomato and egg soup for my family, and I fixed my own bike last month. My parents were surprised.”
Not every parent liked the idea at first. Some of them worried that the new subject would take up too much study time. But after a term, teachers say the students are calmer and more careful in class. “When you wait three weeks for a seed to come up,” one teacher explains, “you learn something that no exam can teach you—patience.”
1.How often do the students have labour classes?
2.What have the students turned the school roof into?
3.What did Li Wei think of himself last year?
4.Why were some parents worried at first?
5.According to the teacher, what can no exam teach students?
【话题】Unit 1 Know yourself · 说明文(劳动课与动手能力)
【答案】1.Twice a week. 2.A small farm. 3.He could not wash a bowl. 4.It might take up study time. 5.Patience.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了南京某中学开设的劳动课:学生在教学楼楼顶种菜、在食堂学做菜、在工坊学修车;一个学期后,家长由担心转为认可,老师则认为劳动课教会了考试教不会的东西——耐心。
1.第一段 Twice a week they put away their textbooks and go to work 中的 Twice a week 即频率;How often 的答语直接用表示频率的词组即可。
2.第二段首句 The roof has been turned into a small farm 是被动语态,题干改为主动提问,答案取 into 后的名词短语。
3.第三段“I could not even wash a bowl last year”是他对过去自己的评价,even 表示强调。此题需把直接引语转成第三人称陈述,could not 不能丢。
4.第四段 Some of them worried that the new subject would take up too much study time 中 that 从句即担忧的内容;转述时用 might 代替 would,语气更贴切。
5.末段老师的话“you learn something that no exam can teach you—patience”中破折号后的 patience 就是答案。此题考“同义定位”,要抓住破折号、冒号等解释性标点。
阅读短文,回答下列问题,每题答案不超过6个词。
Emma Clark, a fifteen-year-old exchange student from London, has been in Nanjing for three months. Last Saturday her host family took her to a small tea house near the Confucius Temple.
The tea master, Mr Zhou, did not ask her what she wanted to drink. Instead he warmed the cups with hot water, put in the leaves, and poured the water from high above. “Wait three minutes,” he said. “The first cup is for your nose, the second for your tongue, and the third for your heart.”
Emma was surprised that the second cup tasted different from the first—stronger and sweeter. Mr Zhou explained that the leaves open slowly, so each cup has its own taste. “In England we put a tea bag in a mug and drink it in two minutes,” Emma said. “Here, drinking tea is a whole afternoon.”
What interested her most was the talking. Nobody looked at a phone. Her host grandmother told stories about her childhood, and Emma told them about the rain in London. “I came for the tea,” she says now, “but I stayed for the people.” She has bought a small tea set and plans to make tea for her parents every Sunday when she goes home.
1.How long has Emma been in Nanjing?
2.Where did Emma go last Saturday?
3.What surprised Emma about the second cup of tea?
4.What does the writer mention English tea bags for?
5.What did Emma buy before going home?
【话题】Unit 4 Life is beautiful · 记叙文(茶文化体验)
【答案】1.For three months. 2.To a small tea house. 3.It tasted stronger and sweeter. 4.To show the cultural difference. 5.A small tea set.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了英国交换生 Emma 在南京体验中国茶文化的经历:她惊讶于每一泡茶味道不同,更被打动的是茶桌上不看手机、彼此交谈的氛围,最终“为茶而来,为人而留”。
1.第一段 has been in Nanjing for three months 是现在完成时表持续,for three months 即答案;How long 提问必须用 for + 时间段回答。
2.第一段末句 her host family took her to a small tea house near the Confucius Temple 中的地点即答案;“near the Confucius Temple”是补充信息,可省略。
3.第三段 Emma was surprised that the second cup tasted different from the first—stronger and sweeter 中破折号后补充说明了不同之处,转述时补上主语 it。
4.第三段末 Emma 把英国“两分钟一袋茶”与中国“一下午工夫茶”作对比,目的是突出两地茶文化差异。写作意图题要回答 to do sth.,不能只答差异的具体内容。
5.末段 She has bought a small tea set 直接给出;题干用过去时 did 提问,答语只需名词短语。

In Class 3, Lin Xiaoyu was the quietest girl, and almost nobody noticed her. She answered questions in a voice so low that the teacher had to ask her twice, and at lunch she sat at the end of the table with her notebook open.
Last September her class teacher, Ms Fang, asked for a volunteer to look after the plant corner—twelve pots on the windowsill, most of them half dead. Nobody put up a hand. Ms Fang looked at Lin Xiaoyu and said, “You are good at watching. Would you try?”
For four months Lin Xiaoyu did nothing special. She watered the plants, turned the pots towards the light, and wrote down what she saw: the first new leaf of the mint (薄荷), the day small insects attacked the spider plant (吊兰), the slow yellowing of a leaf at the back. When the term ended, her notebook had sixty pages.
In March the school held a science fair. Other students brought models and robots. Lin Xiaoyu brought her notebook and twelve healthy plants. “This is not science,” one boy said. The judge, a biology teacher from another school, did not agree. He read the notebook for ten minutes and then asked her a question: “How did you know the plant at the back was ill before the others?” “Because I looked at it every day,” she said.
Her notebook won second prize. But the bigger change was in Lin Xiaoyu herself. She still speaks quietly, and she still sits at the end of the table. “I used to think quiet was a problem,” she says. “Now I know: some people talk, and some people notice. The class needs both.”
1.What did Ms Fang ask Lin Xiaoyu to do?
2.How many pages did Lin Xiaoyu's notebook have?
3.What does “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
4.Why could Lin Xiaoyu answer the judge's question easily?
5.What can we learn from Lin Xiaoyu's story?
【话题】Unit 1 Know yourself · 记叙文(认识自己的性格优势)
【答案】1.Look after the plant corner. 2.Sixty pages. 3.The plant at the back. 4.She watched the plants every day. 5.Quietness is also a strength.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章写安静的林小雨被老师安排照看班级植物角,她用六十页观察笔记在校园科学展上获奖,也重新认识了自己:安静不是缺点,“有人爱说,有人善于观察”,各有各的价值。
1.第二段 asked for a volunteer to look after the plant corner 直接给出任务;答语用动词原形开头的短语,plant corner 不能写成 plants。
2.第三段末 her notebook had sixty pages 直接给出;数字题要注意 sixty 不要误写成 sixteen 或 sixteenth。
3.第四段末“Because I looked at it every day”中的 it 指前一句“the plant at the back was ill before the others”中提到的那盆植物。指代题要往前找最近的名词,再代人验证。
4.她能答出“哪盆先生病”,是因为她四个月来每天观察记录(第三段 wrote down what she saw)。原因藏在第二、三段的行为描写中,需概括而非照抄。
5.末段点明主题:“有人爱说,有人善于观察,班级两者都需要。”全文说明安静不等于没价值。主旨题可用陈述句概括,也可答“Everyone has his own strength.”。
阅读短文,回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过6个单词。
Su Qing, fifteen, used to check her phone before she got out of bed. She posted a photo every day—her lunch, her new shoes, her cat—and then waited. Forty likes was a good day. Twelve was a bad one, and a bad one could ruin her whole evening.
Last term her mood followed the numbers so closely that her mother noticed. “You are happy when strangers tap a heart,” her mother said, “and sad when they don't. Who is really in charge of your day?” Su Qing had no answer.
In April her phone broke. The shop needed a week to repair it, and for the first two days Su Qing felt she had lost an arm. On the third day she went to the park with her little sister. They flew a kite until the wind died, then ate ice cream on a bench and counted the dogs going past. Nobody took a photo. It was, she says now, one of the best afternoons of the year.
When the phone came back, Su Qing did not delete her account. She simply stopped counting. She posts once a week now, and she never looks at the numbers. “The hearts are nice,” she says, “but they are not the afternoon. I stopped counting and started living.”
1.Why did Su Qing's mood change so often last term?
2.What happened to Su Qing's phone in April?
3.What did Su Qing and her sister do in the park?
4.What does the underlined phrase “in charge of” in Paragraph 2 mean?
5.What would be a good title for the passage?
【话题】Unit 2 Teenage problems · 记叙文(社交媒体与心情)
【答案】1.It followed the number of likes. 2.It stopped working. 3.They flew a kite. 4.Controlling. 5.Life Beyond Likes.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章写十五岁的苏青曾每天发照片等点赞,心情随点赞数起伏;手机送修的一周让她在公园放了风筝、吃了冰淇淋,体会到“没有照片也快乐”;手机修好后她不再盯着数字,“停止计数,开始生活”。
1.第二段 her mood followed the numbers so closely 中 the numbers 指上文点赞数。原因题需把 it 与 the number of likes 关联起来,不能只答 likes。
2.第三段首句 her phone broke 即“手机坏了”;答语可写 It broke. 或 It stopped working.,但不要写成 It was broken(与“被弄坏”含义有别,且未答“发生了什么”)。
3.第三段 They flew a kite until the wind died 直接给出;吃冰淇淋、数狗都是后续活动,答其中一个即可,但 flew a kite 最直接。
4.母亲的话“谁真正掌控你的一天?”中 in charge of 意为“负责、掌控”。上文“陌生人点赞你就高兴”提示词义。猜词题可答 Controlling. 或 In control.。
5.全文写苏青从“为点赞而活”到“停止计数、开始生活”的转变,标题要体现“点赞之外的生活”。也可答“Stop Counting, Start Living.”,但不可写成 Su Qing and Her Phone.(太泛)。

Dear Ms Li,
I am a Grade 9 student in Taizhou. Every evening I sit down at seven o'clock with a careful plan: maths for forty minutes, English for thirty, then physics. But by ten o'clock I have finished almost nothing. I answer one message, then check what my classmates are doing, then suddenly it is nine. I feel tired and angry with myself. What is wrong with me?—Troubled
Dear Troubled,
Nothing is wrong with your plan. The problem is that you are switching (切换) between tasks all the time. Each time you look at your phone, your brain needs about fifteen minutes to go back to where it was. Five messages can eat up a whole evening.
Try this. First, put your phone in a box in another room and study in twenty-five minute blocks, with a five-minute break between them. Second, start with the subject you hate most, while your energy is highest. Third, write down the three most important tasks for tomorrow—not ten, three—before you go to bed.
You will not become a different person in one week. But if you can win one hour a day, you will win seven hours a week.—Ms Li
1.When does the student start studying every evening?
2.What does Ms Li think is the real problem?
3.What should the student do with his phone while studying?
4.Which subject should he start with each evening?
5.How many tasks should he write down before going to bed?
【话题】Unit 2 Teenage problems · 书信体建议专栏(时间管理)
【答案】1.At seven o'clock. 2.Too much task switching. 3.Put it in another room. 4.The one he hates most. 5.Three.
【导语】本文是一则书信体的建议专栏。台州一名九年级学生苦恼于“计划很满、效率很低”,李老师指出真正的问题是频繁切换任务,并给出三条具体建议:远离手机、二十五分钟一个学习块、先做最难的科目并只列三件要事。
1.来信第二段 I sit down at seven o'clock with a careful plan 直接给出时间;答时刻用 at + 时间点。
2.回信第一段 The problem is that you are switching between tasks all the time 明确指出问题所在;答语把从句压缩成名词短语,too much 对应 all the time。
3.回信第二段 First, put your phone in a box in another room ... 是第一条建议;答语用动词原形开头,保留核心动作即可。
4.回信 Second, start with the subject you hate most, while your energy is highest 说明应先做最讨厌的科目;转述时 you hate most 改为 he hates most,或用 the one 指代。
5.回信 Third, write down the three most important tasks for tomorrow—not ten, three 中反复强调 three;此题考“抓强调信息”,答 Three. 即可。

On a spring morning in 2023, a man with glasses floated into the Chinese space station. His name is Gui Haichao, and he was not a pilot. He was a professor from Beihang University in Beijing, and the first Chinese load specialist (载荷专家) to travel into space.
Gui was born in a small town in Yunnan. His parents were farmers. In his middle school, he read a newspaper story about a Chinese astronaut and kept the page for years. “I did not think I could ever go there myself,” he said later. “I only wanted to understand how the stars move.”
That curiosity took him from a village classroom to a lab, and then to a seat in a spaceship. The training was hard: he had to spin in a machine until he could not stand, and practise for months under water. He also had to pass the same medical tests as pilots—something many people thought impossible for a man who wears glasses.
In space he spent most of his time on experiments, from growing plants to testing new materials. But he also gave lessons to students on Earth. “Look out of the window with me,” he said in one class. “The Earth is so beautiful that you will want to take care of it.”
1.What was Gui Haichao's job before he went to space?
2.What does the underlined word “curiosity” in Paragraph 3 mean?
3.What made people think his dream was impossible?
4.What did Gui mainly do aboard the space station?
5.What does Gui want students on Earth to do?
【话题】Unit 3 Never give up · 人物特写(桂海潮)
【答案】1.A university professor. 2.Wanting to know something. 3.He wears glasses. 4.He did science experiments. 5.To take care of the Earth.
【导语】本文是一篇人物特写。文章介绍中国首位进入太空的载荷专家桂海潮:农家子弟、大学教师、戴眼镜的科学家,凭好奇心与苦练走进中国空间站,并在太空为地球上的学生上课,提醒他们爱护地球。
1.第一段 He was a professor from Beihang University 说明他此前的身份;题干问 job,答语用名词短语,冠词 a 不能丢。
2.curiosity 由上文“I only wanted to understand how the stars move”(想知道星星怎么运动)引出,意为“好奇心”。词义线索常藏在上一段的引语里,本题也可答“A strong wish to know.”。
3.第三段 something many people thought impossible for a man who wears glasses 中 who 引导的定语从句即原因;答语用主谓结构,注意第三人称单数。
4.第四段 In space he spent most of his time on experiments 直接给出;mainly 对应 most of his time,答语把名词转成动词短语。
5.末段 The Earth is so beautiful that you will want to take care of it 表达了他的期望;答语用不定式,代词 it 还原为 the Earth 更清楚。
阅读短文,回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过6个单词。
At six in the morning last month, a woman walking her dog near Purple Mountain in Nanjing saw something running towards her: a wild boar (野猪), about one metre long. She stood still, and the animal turned and ran into the trees. Her video was watched two million times in three days.
Such meetings are no longer rare. In the last five years, wild boars have been seen in more than twenty cities in Jiangsu, sometimes in parks, sometimes near schools. There are two reasons. Fewer boars are hunted today, so their number has grown quickly. And cities grow too—new roads and houses are built closer to the hills, the boars' old home.
What should you do if you meet one? Experts give three rules. Do not run, because running makes you look like food. Do not feed it, even if it looks hungry—fed boars lose their fear of people. And keep at least twenty metres away while you walk backwards (向后) slowly.
“The boar is not a bad animal,” says Dr Huang, who studies wild animals in Nanjing. “It is simply looking for food. This place used to be its home. We moved into it, not the other way round.”
1.What did the woman see near Purple Mountain?
2.Why has the number of wild boars grown quickly?
3.Why should you not run away from a boar?
4.How far should you stay from a wild boar?
5.What does the writer want to tell us?
【话题】Unit 4 Life is beautiful · 说明文(人与野生动物相处)
【答案】1.A wild boar. 2.Fewer boars are hunted today. 3.It makes you look like food. 4.At least twenty metres. 5.We should live with wild animals.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章从南京紫金山附近野猪上街的视频说起,说明江苏多地野猪频现的两个原因(猎捕减少使数量回升、城市向山区扩张),给出遇到野猪时的三条自保规则,并借专家的话点明“是人类走进了野猪的家”,主旨是学会与野生动物共处。
1.第一段 a woman ... saw something running towards her: a wild boar 冒号后的内容即答案;答语用名词短语,不必写 about one metre long 这一细节。
2.第二段 Fewer boars are hunted today, so their number has grown quickly 中 so 前为原因;答语保留被动结构 are hunted,today 可省略。
3.第三段 Do not run, because running makes you look like food 中 because 从句即原因;转述时把 running 改为 it,指代“跑”这一动作。
4.第三段 keep at least twenty metres away 直接给出距离;How far 提问答距离,at least 表“至少”,不可漏。
5.全文说明野猪进城是因为“我们住进了它们的家”,结尾借专家之口说野猪不是坏动物。主旨是人与野生动物应共处。答语用陈述句概括,也可答“Respect the animals' living space.”。

Zhou Xiaoqian got her first skateboard at eleven, from a second-hand shop. She could not stand on it for more than two seconds. Now, two years later, she can jump over three steps and land without falling. That trick took her eight months to learn.
“People think the hard part is the jump,” she says. “The hard part is the falling. The first hundred times you fall, you feel everyone is laughing at you.” She keeps a notebook of her falls: 143 in the first year. On one page she wrote, “Today I cried. Tomorrow I try again.”
Her mother was against the sport at first. “I thought of broken arms and bad schoolwork,” she says. But Xiaoqian's marks did not go down; they went up, because she started doing her homework at school so that she could skate in the evening. Now her mother waits at the park with a bottle of water.
Next month Xiaoqian will take part in her first city competition. She is not sure she can win. “But I have already learned the thing the board teaches,” she says. “When you fall, you get up. That is the whole sport—and, I think, the whole life.”
1.When did Zhou Xiaoqian get her first skateboard?
2.How long did it take her to learn the trick?
3.What does she think is the hardest part of skateboarding?
4.Why did Xiaoqian's marks go up?
5.What has skateboarding taught her?
【话题】Unit 3 Never give up · 记叙文(滑板女孩)
【答案】1.At eleven. 2.Eight months. 3.The falling. 4.She did homework at school. 5.To get up after falling.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述十三岁女孩周小茜从二手店买来滑板,第一年摔了143次,凭“今天哭过,明天再试”的劲头练成跳级动作;母亲由反对转为陪伴,她自己则悟出“跌倒就站起来”的人生道理。
1.第一段 got her first skateboard at eleven 直接给出年龄;答年龄用 at + 岁数,也可答 At the age of eleven,但会超过词数限制。
2.第一段末 That trick took her eight months to learn 中 eight months 即答案;题干用 How long did it take,答语只留时间段。
3.第二段 The hard part is the falling 与题干 the hardest part 对应;注意答语用动名词 the falling,不能写成 fall,也可答“Falling again and again.”。
4.第三段 they went up, because she started doing her homework at school 中 because 后为原因;答语用一般过去时,started 可省略。
5.末段 When you fall, you get up. That is the whole sport 是她从滑板中学到的道理;答语用不定式概括,注意 fall 与 get up 的先后关系不能颠倒。
阅读短文,回答下列问题,每题答案不超过6个词。
If you ask a Yangzhou person what the city is famous for, the answer will come before you finish the question: morning tea. Not tea in a cup only, but a whole meal—baozi with soup inside, thin noodles in a rich soup, and small plates of cold dishes arriving one after another.
Morning tea in Yangzhou is not a quick breakfast. Old friends meet at seven and leave at nine. Waiters pour hot water again and again, and nobody hurries anybody. In one old tea house near the Slender West Lake, the owner, Mr Chen, has been making baozi for fifty years. He still makes the soup inside the baozi by hand. This job takes him four hours before the doors open.
“People ask me why I do not open ten shops and make more money,” he says, laughing. “But if I open ten shops, who will hold the dough (面团)? Machines make them fast, not good.”
The best way to see Yangzhou is not by car. Rent a bicycle, or simply walk. The old streets are narrow, the city walls are low, and willow trees hang over the water. Slowly, the city teaches you its own speed.
1.What is Yangzhou best known for?
2.How long does morning tea usually last?
3.How long does Mr Chen spend making the soup?
4.Why does Mr Chen refuse to open more shops?
5.What does the writer suggest visitors do in Yangzhou?
【话题】Unit 4 Life is beautiful · 游记散文(扬州早茶)
【答案】1.Morning tea. 2.About two hours. 3.Four hours. 4.Machines can't make good baozi. 5.Walk or rent a bicycle.
【导语】本文是一篇游记散文。文章写扬州早茶不是匆匆一顿饭,而是一个上午的从容:老友相聚、茶水续了又续、老师傅五十年手工做汤包;最后点出看扬州最好的方式是骑车或步行,让城市教你它的节奏。
1.第一段 the answer will come before you finish the question: morning tea 直接点明;答语用名词短语,不必加 is famous for。
2.第二段 Old friends meet at seven and leave at nine 需要简单计算:七点到九点共两小时;答语用 about two hours 更准确。此题考数字换算。
3.第二段末 This job takes him four hours before the doors open 中 four hours 即答案;this job 指的就是“手工做汤包汤汁”。
4.第三段 Machines make them fast, not good 说明机器只快不好,这正是他不愿开分店的原因;答语需把 fast, not good 转述为 can't make good。
5.末段 Rent a bicycle, or simply walk 是作者的建议;答语用动词原形并列,注意 not by car 是反面提示,不是答案。

On a side street in Nanjing there is a small library with no closing time. It has no librarian at night, only a machine to read your card, and 20,000 books on shelves up to the ceiling.
Liu Yang, fifteen, first came here last winter for a reason with nothing to do with books: his phone was dead and he needed a place to charge it. He sat down in the corner, and a book about the deep sea was lying on the table. He opened it to pass the time. He finished it at two in the morning.
“I had never finished a book in my life,” he says. “At school we read because we have to. That night nobody was watching me, so it was different.” He now comes twice a week and has read forty books.
The night guard, Mr Wang, has noticed something about these readers. “At nine they are on their phones,” he says. “At eleven they are reading. The building is quiet, and quiet is a rare thing for a fifteen-year-old.”
1.What is special about the library?
2.Why did Liu Yang go to the library at first?
3.How many books has Liu Yang read so far?
4.What change has Mr Wang noticed in the readers?
5.What does “quiet is a rare thing” suggest about teenagers?
【话题】Unit 4 Life is beautiful · 记叙文(24小时图书馆)
【答案】1.It never closes. 2.To charge his phone. 3.Forty books. 4.They read instead of using phones. 5.They seldom have quiet time.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍南京一家 24 小时无人图书馆:少年刘洋最初只是为了给手机充电,却在这里读完了人生第一本书,此后每周来两次、读完四十本;夜班保安则发现,深夜的安静让这些孩子放下了手机。
1.第一段 a small library with no closing time 意为“没有关门时间的图书馆”;答语用主谓结构,也可答 It is open all night.。
2.第二段 his phone was dead and he needed a place to charge it 说明最初的目的;答语用不定式表目的,不能写成 Because his phone died.(词数虽够,但未答“去做什么”)。
3.第三段末 has read forty books 直接给出;题干 has read ... so far 与现在完成时对应,答语只保留数量。
4.末段 At nine they are on their phones ... At eleven they are reading 形成对比,说明读者从玩手机转为读书;答语需体现这一转变,instead of 是关键。
5.guard 说“安静对十五岁的人来说是稀罕物”,言下之意是青少年平时被作业、手机、人群填满,很少安静。答语用 seldom 表达“很少”,属推断题。
阅读短文,回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过6个单词。
“Everyone is doing it.” If you have heard this sentence in the school corridor (走廊), you have met peer pressure. Peer pressure is the influence of people of your own age—classmates, friends, the group you sit with at lunch—on what you wear, say and do.
Not all peer pressure is bad. If your deskmate keeps asking you to join the reading club, or your team refuses to let anyone give up halfway, the group is pushing you in a good direction. The difficult kind is quieter. You laugh at a joke about a classmate because everyone else is laughing. You copy homework because the boy beside you says, “It's only once.”
Why is it so hard to say no? Teenagers care about belonging. To a fifteen-year-old, being left out of the group can feel more frightening than a low mark. Scientists say that in the teenage brain, the wish to be accepted is already strong, but the ability to weigh risk is still growing. That is not a weakness. It is simply how a teenage brain works.
But you are not helpless. First, decide before you go: “I don't copy homework.” A decision made at home is easier to keep than one made in a noisy classroom. Second, use a friend. Two people saying no is ten times easier than one. Third, remember that you can leave. “I have to go” is a complete sentence, and you do not owe anyone a reason.
1.What is peer pressure?
2.What example of good peer pressure does the writer give?
3.Why is it hard for teenagers to say no?
4.What does the underlined phrase “left out” in Paragraph 3 mean?
5.What does the writer advise you to do before you go out?
【话题】Unit 2 Teenage problems · 说明文(同伴压力)
【答案】1.Influence from people of your age. 2.Joining a reading club. 3.They want to be accepted. 4.Not accepted by the group. 5.Decide what you will not do.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章先定义“同伴压力”,再区分好坏两种:同桌邀你进读书社是推力,跟着起哄、抄作业是拉力;接着解释青少年大脑“求接纳”先于“控风险”,难以说不并非软弱;最后给出三条对策——先定底线、找个同盟、必要时直接离开。
1.第一段 Peer pressure is the influence of people of your own age 直接给出定义;own 可省,答语六个单词刚好达标。
2.第二段 your deskmate keeps asking you to join the reading club 是正面例子;答语用动名词短语,也可答“Refusing to give up halfway.”。
3.第三段 Teenagers care about belonging 与 the wish to be accepted is already strong 说明青少年渴望被群体接纳,所以难以拒绝。原因题需概括两处信息。
4.being left out of the group 意为“被群体排除在外、被冷落”。上文 belonging(归属感)与下文 accepted 都是词义线索。也可答“Not included in a group.”。
5.第四段 First, decide before you go: “I don't copy homework.” 是第一条建议:出门前先定好底线;答语用动词原形开头,what you will not do 不可简化成 what to do(意思相反)。
阅读短文,回答下列问题,每题答案不超过6个词。
Last month Lin Yao, a Grade 9 student from Suzhou, travelled to Beijing for a robot competition. Her mother offered to book a flight, but Lin chose the train. “Four and a half hours,” she says. “I can read, I can sleep, and I arrive in the middle of the city.”
She left Suzhou North Station at half past eight in the morning. The train reached 350 kilometres an hour, but the water in her cup did not move. At eleven she took out her English notes; at twelve she was asleep. “The train is my moving study,” she says.
What Lin likes most is the small things. At the station she went through security (安检), bought a coffee and got on the train without going outside once. “In some countries you take a bus, then a train, then another bus,” she says. “Here it is one building, one ticket, one bag.”
Her father, who travels for work, puts it differently. “When I was young, Suzhou to Beijing was a night on a hard seat. Now I can have breakfast at home and lunch in Beijing. The distance has not changed. Only the time has.”
1.How long does the train journey from Suzhou to Beijing take?
2.Why did Lin Yao choose the train instead of a plane?
3.What did Lin Yao do at eleven on the train?
4.What does “one building, one ticket, one bag” show?
5.Why does the writer mention Lin Yao's father?
【话题】Unit 4 Life is beautiful · 记叙文(高铁出行)
【答案】1.Four and a half hours. 2.She can read and sleep. 3.She read her English notes. 4.Travelling is very convenient. 5.To show how travel has changed.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章以苏州九年级学生林瑶赴京参赛为线索,写她选择高铁的四个半小时、杯中之水纹丝不动的平稳、站内“一栋楼一张票一个包”的便捷,并以父亲“距离未变、时间变了”的感慨收束,展现中国高铁之变。
1.第一段 Lin 说的“Four and a half hours”即行程时间;答语用“数词 + and a half + 复数名词”,不能写成 Four hours and half。
2.第一段 I can read, I can sleep, and I arrive in the middle of the city 是她的理由;答语取前两点即可,注意 can 后动词用原形。
3.第二段 At eleven she took out her English notes 说明她十一点开始看英语笔记;答语把 took out 转述为 read 更贴合“做什么”。
4.第三段把“公交—火车—公交”的多次换乘与“一栋楼、一张票、一个包”对比,突出换乘便捷;答语用 convenient 概括,属句意归纳题。
5.父亲用“过去一夜硬座、如今早出午至”作今昔对比,作者写他是为了展现出行方式的巨变。写作意图题答 to do sth.,不要只复述父亲的话。

In Grade 7, Xu Jing hated English lessons. She read slowly, spoke even more slowly, and when the teacher asked a question she looked down at her desk until someone else answered.
One day the class had to write about a person they admired. Xu Jing wrote about her grandfather, who repaired clocks in a small shop. She wrote four pages—far more than anyone else—and handed them in without hope.
The essay (短文) came back with a red comment at the end: “You see what other people miss.” Six words. She read them in the hallway, then in the classroom, then again at home. “Nobody had ever told me that I was good at anything in English,” she says. “I thought perhaps the teacher had made a mistake. Then I decided to believe her.”
She began to write in a notebook every night. Two years later she is the editor of the school newspaper, and last Monday she stood in front of the whole school and read an article about her grandfather's clocks. Her voice shook for the first sentence. After that, it did not.
1.Who did Xu Jing write about in her essay?
2.How many words did the teacher write in red?
3.How did Xu Jing feel when she first read the comment?
4.What is Xu Jing now?
5.What can we learn from Xu Jing's story?
【话题】Unit 1 Know yourself · 记叙文(发现自己的长处)
【答案】1.Her grandfather. 2.Six words. 3.She could hardly believe it. 4.The school newspaper editor. 5.Encouragement can change a person.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章写七年级时害怕英语的徐静,因老师在作文末尾写下的六个字“你能看到别人忽略的东西”而开始相信自己,两年后成为校报编辑,并在周一清晨的全校集会上朗读自己写的文章,说明一句真诚的鼓励可以改变一个人。
1.第二段 Xu Jing wrote about her grandfather 直接给出;答语用名词短语,who repaired clocks 是定语,不必写入。
2.第三段 “You see what other people miss.” Six words. 中 Six words 即答案;此题考细节,容易误答成评论内容。
3.第三段 I thought perhaps the teacher had made a mistake 表明她起初不敢相信;答语用 could hardly believe 转述,属推断题。
4.末段 she is the editor of the school newspaper 直接给出身份;答语用名词短语,the 不能省。
5.全文写六个字的评语如何让一个害怕英语的女孩开始写作、最终成为校报编辑并在全校面前发言,主旨即“鼓励能改变一个人”。答语用陈述句概括主题,属主旨题。

Last term, 1,000 Grade 9 students in Jiangsu were asked two questions: What do you mostly do on Sunday afternoon? and How happy do you feel on a scale of one to ten? The answers are shown in the charts below.
The first chart shows that screens take the biggest share of the weekend: forty-one percent of the students spend Sunday afternoon on a phone, a computer or a TV. Sports come second at twenty-eight percent, reading third at nineteen, and housework last at twelve.
The second chart is more interesting. The sports group gave themselves 8.1 points out of ten, and the readers 7.6. Screen users gave themselves only 5.4—lower than the housework group (6.3), although housework is nobody's favourite way to rest.
Why? Doctors explain that running, swimming and ball games change the chemistry of the brain and leave a calm, happy feeling for hours. Screens give fast fun, but the fun stops when the screen goes dark. One student in the survey wrote, “After two hours of games I feel tired, but after two hours of basketball I feel full.”
1.How many students took part in the survey?
2.What percentage of the students spend Sunday afternoon on screens?
3.Which group gave themselves the lowest score?
4.Why do sports leave a happy feeling for hours?
5.What does the writer want to suggest?

【导语】本文是一篇图文说明文。文章呈现江苏 1000 名九年级学生“周日午后主要活动”与“心情自评分”两组图表:屏幕组占比最高(41%)但心情分最低(5.4),运动组占比第二(28%)心情分最高(8.1);接着解释运动改变大脑化学物质、带来持久平静愉悦的原理,引导学生少看屏幕、多运动。
1.首段 1,000 Grade 9 students in Jiangsu were asked 直接给出人数;答数字即可,也可写 One thousand.,但要注意词数。
2.第二段 forty-one percent of the students spend Sunday afternoon on a phone, a computer or a TV 与图表数据一致;答比例用“数词 + percent”,不要只写 41。
3.对比第二个图表:sports 8.1、readers 7.6、housework 6.3、screen users 5.4,最低的是屏幕组;答语用名词短语 the screen users,指一群人时用复数。
4.第四段 running, swimming and ball games change the chemistry of the brain and leave a calm, happy feeling 解释了机制;答语把主语换成 they,chemistry's 所属格用 brain's。
5.全文用数据说明屏幕时间最多、心情分最低,运动组心情最好,作者的倾向是少看屏幕、多运动。答语用祈使句概括,也可答“Choose sports over screens.”。

The needle in Chen Yuxi's hand moves so fast that you can hardly follow it. A tiny lotus flower slowly appears on the white silk—first the pink, then the yellow, then a thin line of green. Chen is only sixteen, but she has been holding a needle for eleven years.
Chen grew up in Zhenhu, a small town near Suzhou. In Zhenhu, almost every grandmother can embroider (刺绣). Chen's grandmother was one of them. When Chen was five, she sat beside her grandmother and learned her first stitches (针脚). “At the beginning my lines were crooked (歪斜的) and I wanted to give up,” she says. “Grandma told me that one perfect stitch is better than a hundred careless ones.”
Su embroidery is famous for its smooth silk thread and its bright colours. A small picture may need 100,000 stitches and three months of work. Today machines can copy many designs, but they cannot copy the small differences. Those differences are exactly what make a piece alive.
Last year Chen began making short videos of her work. Some of them have been watched millions of times, and many young people have asked her how to begin. “I'm not a master yet,” she says with a smile. “I'm just passing the needle on.”
1.How long has Chen Yuxi been practising embroidery?
2.How many stitches may a small picture need?
3.Why can't machines take the place of hand embroidery?
4.What does Chen mean by “passing the needle on”?
5.What is the passage mainly about?

If you are a Grade 9 student, you have probably heard this advice a hundred times: go to bed earlier. But between homework, WeChat and the half-finished video on your phone, nine o'clock easily becomes eleven.
Scientists have found that teenagers need eight to ten hours of sleep, one or two hours more than adults. The reason is not laziness. During the teenage years the body clock shifts (变化), so the brain does not feel sleepy until about eleven at night, and it wants to stay in bed until eight in the morning. School, however, still starts at half past seven.
What happens when sleep is too short? First, memory. Our brain sorts and stores what we learned during the day while we sleep. Cut the night short, and the new words and formulas (公式) have less time to settle. Second, mood. A tired teenager often becomes angry over small things—a lost pen can look like a disaster. Third, growth. Growth hormone is released mainly during deep sleep.
The good news is that sleep can be trained. Put the phone outside the bedroom an hour before bed, keep the same bedtime at weekends, and let morning light into the room. None of these costs money. They only ask you to control yourself a little.
1.How much sleep do teenagers need every night?
2.Why do teenagers feel sleepy late at night?
3.What may happen to a student who often sleeps too little? (Give one example.)
4.What does the underlined word “settle” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
5.What does the writer advise students to do with their phones at night?

Last September, students at a middle school in Nanjing got a new subject: labour (劳动). Twice a week they put away their textbooks and go to work—on the roof of the teaching building.
The roof has been turned into a small farm. Each class has two vegetable beds. Students plant, water and record the growth of their plants in a notebook. In the school kitchen, other groups learn to cook three simple dishes, and in the workshop (工坊) a few students are learning to repair bicycles.
“I could not even wash a bowl last year,” says Li Wei, a Grade 9 student. “Now I can cook tomato and egg soup for my family, and I fixed my own bike last month. My parents were surprised.”
Not every parent liked the idea at first. Some of them worried that the new subject would take up too much study time. But after a term, teachers say the students are calmer and more careful in class. “When you wait three weeks for a seed to come up,” one teacher explains, “you learn something that no exam can teach you—patience.”
1.How often do the students have labour classes?
2.What have the students turned the school roof into?
3.What did Li Wei think of himself last year?
4.Why were some parents worried at first?
5.According to the teacher, what can no exam teach students?

Emma Clark, a fifteen-year-old exchange student from London, has been in Nanjing for three months. Last Saturday her host family took her to a small tea house near the Confucius Temple.
The tea master, Mr Zhou, did not ask her what she wanted to drink. Instead he warmed the cups with hot water, put in the leaves, and poured the water from high above. “Wait three minutes,” he said. “The first cup is for your nose, the second for your tongue, and the third for your heart.”
Emma was surprised that the second cup tasted different from the first—stronger and sweeter. Mr Zhou explained that the leaves open slowly, so each cup has its own taste. “In England we put a tea bag in a mug and drink it in two minutes,” Emma said. “Here, drinking tea is a whole afternoon.”
What interested her most was the talking. Nobody looked at a phone. Her host grandmother told stories about her childhood, and Emma told them about the rain in London. “I came for the tea,” she says now, “but I stayed for the people.” She has bought a small tea set and plans to make tea for her parents every Sunday when she goes home.
1.How long has Emma been in Nanjing?
2.Where did Emma go last Saturday?
3.What surprised Emma about the second cup of tea?
4.What does the writer mention English tea bags for?
5.What did Emma buy before going home?

In Class 3, Lin Xiaoyu was the quietest girl, and almost nobody noticed her. She answered questions in a voice so low that the teacher had to ask her twice, and at lunch she sat at the end of the table with her notebook open.
Last September her class teacher, Ms Fang, asked for a volunteer to look after the plant corner—twelve pots on the windowsill, most of them half dead. Nobody put up a hand. Ms Fang looked at Lin Xiaoyu and said, “You are good at watching. Would you try?”
For four months Lin Xiaoyu did nothing special. She watered the plants, turned the pots towards the light, and wrote down what she saw: the first new leaf of the mint (薄荷), the day small insects attacked the spider plant (吊兰), the slow yellowing of a leaf at the back. When the term ended, her notebook had sixty pages.
In March the school held a science fair. Other students brought models and robots. Lin Xiaoyu brought her notebook and twelve healthy plants. “This is not science,” one boy said. The judge, a biology teacher from another school, did not agree. He read the notebook for ten minutes and then asked her a question: “How did you know the plant at the back was ill before the others?” “Because I looked at it every day,” she said.
Her notebook won second prize. But the bigger change was in Lin Xiaoyu herself. She still speaks quietly, and she still sits at the end of the table. “I used to think quiet was a problem,” she says. “Now I know: some people talk, and some people notice. The class needs both.”
1.What did Ms Fang ask Lin Xiaoyu to do?
2.How many pages did Lin Xiaoyu's notebook have?
3.What does “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
4.Why could Lin Xiaoyu answer the judge's question easily?
5.What can we learn from Lin Xiaoyu's story?

Su Qing, fifteen, used to check her phone before she got out of bed. She posted a photo every day—her lunch, her new shoes, her cat—and then waited. Forty likes was a good day. Twelve was a bad one, and a bad one could ruin her whole evening.
Last term her mood followed the numbers so closely that her mother noticed. “You are happy when strangers tap a heart,” her mother said, “and sad when they don't. Who is really in charge of your day?” Su Qing had no answer.
In April her phone broke. The shop needed a week to repair it, and for the first two days Su Qing felt she had lost an arm. On the third day she went to the park with her little sister. They flew a kite until the wind died, then ate ice cream on a bench and counted the dogs going past. Nobody took a photo. It was, she says now, one of the best afternoons of the year.
When the phone came back, Su Qing did not delete her account. She simply stopped counting. She posts once a week now, and she never looks at the numbers. “The hearts are nice,” she says, “but they are not the afternoon. I stopped counting and started living.”
1.Why did Su Qing's mood change so often last term?
2.What happened to Su Qing's phone in April?
3.What did Su Qing and her sister do in the park?
4.What does the underlined phrase “in charge of” in Paragraph 2 mean?
5.What would be a good title for the passage?

Dear Ms Li,
I am a Grade 9 student in Taizhou. Every evening I sit down at seven o'clock with a careful plan: maths for forty minutes, English for thirty, then physics. But by ten o'clock I have finished almost nothing. I answer one message, then check what my classmates are doing, then suddenly it is nine. I feel tired and angry with myself. What is wrong with me?—Troubled
Dear Troubled,
Nothing is wrong with your plan. The problem is that you are switching (切换) between tasks all the time. Each time you look at your phone, your brain needs about fifteen minutes to go back to where it was. Five messages can eat up a whole evening.
Try this. First, put your phone in a box in another room and study in twenty-five minute blocks, with a five-minute break between them. Second, start with the subject you hate most, while your energy is highest. Third, write down the three most important tasks for tomorrow—not ten, three—before you go to bed.
You will not become a different person in one week. But if you can win one hour a day, you will win seven hours a week.—Ms Li
1.When does the student start studying every evening?
2.What does Ms Li think is the real problem?
3.What should the student do with his phone while studying?
4.Which subject should he start with each evening?
5.How many tasks should he write down before going to bed?

On a spring morning in 2023, a man with glasses floated into the Chinese space station. His name is Gui Haichao, and he was not a pilot. He was a professor from Beihang University in Beijing, and the first Chinese load specialist (载荷专家) to travel into space.
Gui was born in a small town in Yunnan. His parents were farmers. In his middle school, he read a newspaper story about a Chinese astronaut and kept the page for years. “I did not think I could ever go there myself,” he said later. “I only wanted to understand how the stars move.”
That curiosity took him from a village classroom to a lab, and then to a seat in a spaceship. The training was hard: he had to spin in a machine until he could not stand, and practise for months under water. He also had to pass the same medical tests as pilots—something many people thought impossible for a man who wears glasses.
In space he spent most of his time on experiments, from growing plants to testing new materials. But he also gave lessons to students on Earth. “Look out of the window with me,” he said in one class. “The Earth is so beautiful that you will want to take care of it.”
1.What was Gui Haichao's job before he went to space?
2.What does the underlined word “curiosity” in Paragraph 3 mean?
3.What made people think his dream was impossible?
4.What did Gui mainly do aboard the space station?
5.What does Gui want students on Earth to do?

At six in the morning last month, a woman walking her dog near Purple Mountain in Nanjing saw something running towards her: a wild boar (野猪), about one metre long. She stood still, and the animal turned and ran into the trees. Her video was watched two million times in three days.
Such meetings are no longer rare. In the last five years, wild boars have been seen in more than twenty cities in Jiangsu, sometimes in parks, sometimes near schools. There are two reasons. Fewer boars are hunted today, so their number has grown quickly. And cities grow too—new roads and houses are built closer to the hills, the boars' old home.
What should you do if you meet one? Experts give three rules. Do not run, because running makes you look like food. Do not feed it, even if it looks hungry—fed boars lose their fear of people. And keep at least twenty metres away while you walk backwards (向后) slowly.
“The boar is not a bad animal,” says Dr Huang, who studies wild animals in Nanjing. “It is simply looking for food. This place used to be its home. We moved into it, not the other way round.”
1.What did the woman see near Purple Mountain?
2.Why has the number of wild boars grown quickly?
3.Why should you not run away from a boar?
4.How far should you stay from a wild boar?
5.What does the writer want to tell us?

Zhou Xiaoqian got her first skateboard at eleven, from a second-hand shop. She could not stand on it for more than two seconds. Now, two years later, she can jump over three steps and land without falling. That trick took her eight months to learn.
“People think the hard part is the jump,” she says. “The hard part is the falling. The first hundred times you fall, you feel everyone is laughing at you.” She keeps a notebook of her falls: 143 in the first year. On one page she wrote, “Today I cried. Tomorrow I try again.”
Her mother was against the sport at first. “I thought of broken arms and bad schoolwork,” she says. But Xiaoqian's marks did not go down; they went up, because she started doing her homework at school so that she could skate in the evening. Now her mother waits at the park with a bottle of water.
Next month Xiaoqian will take part in her first city competition. She is not sure she can win. “But I have already learned the thing the board teaches,” she says. “When you fall, you get up. That is the whole sport—and, I think, the whole life.”
1.When did Zhou Xiaoqian get her first skateboard?
2.How long did it take her to learn the trick?
3.What does she think is the hardest part of skateboarding?
4.Why did Xiaoqian's marks go up?
5.What has skateboarding taught her?

If you ask a Yangzhou person what the city is famous for, the answer will come before you finish the question: morning tea. Not tea in a cup only, but a whole meal—baozi with soup inside, thin noodles in a rich soup, and small plates of cold dishes arriving one after another.
Morning tea in Yangzhou is not a quick breakfast. Old friends meet at seven and leave at nine. Waiters pour hot water again and again, and nobody hurries anybody. In one old tea house near the Slender West Lake, the owner, Mr Chen, has been making baozi for fifty years. He still makes the soup inside the baozi by hand. This job takes him four hours before the doors open.
“People ask me why I do not open ten shops and make more money,” he says, laughing. “But if I open ten shops, who will hold the dough (面团)? Machines make them fast, not good.”
The best way to see Yangzhou is not by car. Rent a bicycle, or simply walk. The old streets are narrow, the city walls are low, and willow trees hang over the water. Slowly, the city teaches you its own speed.
1.What is Yangzhou best known for?
2.How long does morning tea usually last?
3.How long does Mr Chen spend making the soup?
4.Why does Mr Chen refuse to open more shops?
5.What does the writer suggest visitors do in Yangzhou?

On a side street in Nanjing there is a small library with no closing time. It has no librarian at night, only a machine to read your card, and 20,000 books on shelves up to the ceiling.
Liu Yang, fifteen, first came here last winter for a reason with nothing to do with books: his phone was dead and he needed a place to charge it. He sat down in the corner, and a book about the deep sea was lying on the table. He opened it to pass the time. He finished it at two in the morning.
“I had never finished a book in my life,” he says. “At school we read because we have to. That night nobody was watching me, so it was different.” He now comes twice a week and has read forty books.
The night guard, Mr Wang, has noticed something about these readers. “At nine they are on their phones,” he says. “At eleven they are reading. The building is quiet, and quiet is a rare thing for a fifteen-year-old.”
1.What is special about the library?
2.Why did Liu Yang go to the library at first?
3.How many books has Liu Yang read so far?
4.What change has Mr Wang noticed in the readers?
5.What does “quiet is a rare thing” suggest about teenagers?

“Everyone is doing it.” If you have heard this sentence in the school corridor (走廊), you have met peer pressure. Peer pressure is the influence of people of your own age—classmates, friends, the group you sit with at lunch—on what you wear, say and do.
Not all peer pressure is bad. If your deskmate keeps asking you to join the reading club, or your team refuses to let anyone give up halfway, the group is pushing you in a good direction. The difficult kind is quieter. You laugh at a joke about a classmate because everyone else is laughing. You copy homework because the boy beside you says, “It's only once.”
Why is it so hard to say no? Teenagers care about belonging. To a fifteen-year-old, being left out of the group can feel more frightening than a low mark. Scientists say that in the teenage brain, the wish to be accepted is already strong, but the ability to weigh risk is still growing. That is not a weakness. It is simply how a teenage brain works.
But you are not helpless. First, decide before you go: “I don't copy homework.” A decision made at home is easier to keep than one made in a noisy classroom. Second, use a friend. Two people saying no is ten times easier than one. Third, remember that you can leave. “I have to go” is a complete sentence, and you do not owe anyone a reason.
1.What is peer pressure?
2.What example of good peer pressure does the writer give?
3.Why is it hard for teenagers to say no?
4.What does the underlined phrase “left out” in Paragraph 3 mean?
5.What does the writer advise you to do before you go out?

Last month Lin Yao, a Grade 9 student from Suzhou, travelled to Beijing for a robot competition. Her mother offered to book a flight, but Lin chose the train. “Four and a half hours,” she says. “I can read, I can sleep, and I arrive in the middle of the city.”
She left Suzhou North Station at half past eight in the morning. The train reached 350 kilometres an hour, but the water in her cup did not move. At eleven she took out her English notes; at twelve she was asleep. “The train is my moving study,” she says.
What Lin likes most is the small things. At the station she went through security (安检), bought a coffee and got on the train without going outside once. “In some countries you take a bus, then a train, then another bus,” she says. “Here it is one building, one ticket, one bag.”
Her father, who travels for work, puts it differently. “When I was young, Suzhou to Beijing was a night on a hard seat. Now I can have breakfast at home and lunch in Beijing. The distance has not changed. Only the time has.”
1.How long does the train journey from Suzhou to Beijing take?
2.Why did Lin Yao choose the train instead of a plane?
3.What did Lin Yao do at eleven on the train?
4.What does “one building, one ticket, one bag” show?
5.Why does the writer mention Lin Yao's father?

In Grade 7, Xu Jing hated English lessons. She read slowly, spoke even more slowly, and when the teacher asked a question she looked down at her desk until someone else answered.
One day the class had to write about a person they admired. Xu Jing wrote about her grandfather, who repaired clocks in a small shop. She wrote four pages—far more than anyone else—and handed them in without hope.
The essay (短文) came back with a red comment at the end: “You see what other people miss.” Six words. She read them in the hallway, then in the classroom, then again at home. “Nobody had ever told me that I was good at anything in English,” she says. “I thought perhaps the teacher had made a mistake. Then I decided to believe her.”
She began to write in a notebook every night. Two years later she is the editor of the school newspaper, and last Monday she stood in front of the whole school and read an article about her grandfather's clocks. Her voice shook for the first sentence. After that, it did not.
1.Who did Xu Jing write about in her essay?
2.How many words did the teacher write in red?
3.How did Xu Jing feel when she first read the comment?
4.What is Xu Jing now?
5.What can we learn from Xu Jing's story?

Last term, 1,000 Grade 9 students in Jiangsu were asked two questions: What do you mostly do on Sunday afternoon? and How happy do you feel on a scale of one to ten? The answers are shown in the charts below.
The first chart shows that screens take the biggest share of the weekend: forty-one percent of the students spend Sunday afternoon on a phone, a computer or a TV. Sports come second at twenty-eight percent, reading third at nineteen, and housework last at twelve.
The second chart is more interesting. The sports group gave themselves 8.1 points out of ten, and the readers 7.6. Screen users gave themselves only 5.4—lower than the housework group (6.3), although housework is nobody's favourite way to rest.
Why? Doctors explain that running, swimming and ball games change the chemistry of the brain and leave a calm, happy feeling for hours. Screens give fast fun, but the fun stops when the screen goes dark. One student in the survey wrote, “After two hours of games I feel tired, but after two hours of basketball I feel full.”
1.How many students took part in the survey?
2.What percentage of the students spend Sunday afternoon on screens?
3.Which group gave themselves the lowest score?
4.Why do sports leave a happy feeling for hours?
5.What does the writer want to suggest?
