专题07 阅读理解2022-2023学年九年级英语上学期期末高分冲刺专练一、阅读单选Do you ever find yourself standing in front of rubbish bins, not sure whether the piece of waste in your hand is recyclable or not? To solve this problem, four Hong Kong high school students have invented a smart rubbish bin that uses AI to sort(分类) the waste. The students named the bin Waste Collection Point.Connected to a computer, the bin uses a camera to tell the kind of the waste it receives and sorts it into plastic, paper, glass, or other kinds. To make sure the bin can sort waste correctly, the team tested every product in the school shop and took at least500 pictures of each one. “To train the AI, we had to take many photos from different angles(角度), so it has a better rate of accuracy,” said one of the students who built the AI system.The idea of the smart bin was born two years ago, when the students were in Grade Ten. At that time, people from the city crowded into their village because of the COVID-19. They left behind a lot of rubbish and caused more pollution.“All the bins were full, and there was even rubbish on the mountain,” the students recalled, “Every weekend, we had to join the villagers in picking up the waste.”The students decided to develop a special recycling bin that would encourage people to protect the environment. Although school ended at 2 pm, the team would continue to work on their invention until 6 or 7 pm at school. Even when their school was closed last year, they would still meet and work together online.“Our bin is now in its third generation(代). Before graduation, we hope it can be widely used in the city.” The students said, “Then it will be easier than ever for people to recycle and protect our environment.”1．According to the first paragraph we know the ________ of Waste Collection Point. A．price B．size C．use2．The underlined words “rate of accuracy” mean “________” in Chinese.A．精准度B．参与度C．知名度3．This chart shows why Waste Collection Point was developed. Which is the missing part?A．the hit of the COVID-19B．villagers’ encouragement C．picking up rubbish around 4．This passage is mainly about ________.A．four young inventors B．a new invention C．the rubbish problem 5．How is this passage organized(组织)? (P=Paragraph)A．B．C．根据语言材料内容选择最佳答案。

阅读理解：国学故事——上善若水。

A 阅读理解“Green Games” became a calling card for the 19th Asian Games, which were held from Sept 23 to Oct 8 in Hangzhou and five other cities in Zhejiang.To make the Games the world’s first waste-free sporting event, green energy sources were used at all 56 competition venues (场馆).Some of the renewable (可再生的) electricity used at the venues was photovoltaic energy (光伏能源), transmitted (传输) from areas such as Qinghai and Gansu. Another source was wind power which was made in areas including the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.A digital management platform was also started to help achieve carbon neutrality (碳中和) during the Asian Games. On the platform, digital technologies were used for managing carbon emissions (排放) from venues in the six cities where the Games were held. The technologies included data collection and emissions reduction (减排) and evaluation.Among all of the Games’ 56 competition venues, just 12 were newly built. The rest were existing facilities (设施) repaired as part of the organizers’ mission of sustainability (持续性).The Shangcheng Sports Centre Stadium, the venue used for soccer events at the Games, was first built in 2019.During the venue’s renovation, its solar-film ceiling and spectator (观众) seating – both of which had been used for 14 years but remained in good condition – were kept after being scientifically assessed (评估). This helped to reduce building costs by nearly 8 million yuan.The race track of Chun’an Jieshou Sports Centre’s velodrome (自行车赛场) was covered with 374 interchangeable components (部件) which can continue to use after the competition ended.Zhejiang also improved public entry to the venues and hosted sports events in them. During the one-year delay (推迟) of the Games due to the pandemic, the venues were put aside but still kept in use. Since May 2022, all of the available venues have received 10 million visits, allowing the public to experience the world-class facilities.These venues will continue to be used for sports and public fitness after the Games. Venue owners and operators have developed post-games plans for 51 venues.1.What kind of renewable energy sources were used at the competition venues?A Solar energy and wind powerB Hydroelectric power and geothermal energyC Biomass and tidal energyD Nuclear power and natural gas2.What was the goal of the 19th Asian Games in terms of waste management?A. To use green energy sources at all competition venuesB. To achieve carbon neutrality during the GamesC. To repair and renovate existing facilitiesD. To reduce building costs for venues3.How many of the competition venues were newly built for the 19th Asian Games?A. 12B. 56C. 51D. The article does not mention it.4.Why did the organizers keep the solar-film ceiling and spectator seating of the Shangcheng Sports Centre Stadium?A. They were newly built and modern.B. They were in good condition.C. They were technologically advanced.D. The article does not mention the reason.5.What will happen to the venues after the Games?A. They will be demolished.B.

The article does not mention it.B 阅读理解On Sept 24, at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, people burst into thunderous (雷鸣般的) cheers after China’s Tong Xin finished a difficult move. For the move, she had to make a 540-degree turn. In the end, she won the women’s taijiquan and taijijian all-round gold (女子太极拳太极剑全能金牌) at the sports event.Tong’s slow but strong actions with her sword (剑) showed perfectly Chinese wushu’s beautiful mix of soft and hard moves. As a sport showing regional (区域的) culture, wushu was included in the Asian Games in 1990. Apart from wushu, many other special sports from different Asian areas were also seen at the sports event, making it a party of folk cultures. Kabaddi (卡巴迪) and sepak takraw (藤球) are two examples.Kabaddi (卡巴迪) is a folk sport from India and has a history of more than 4,000 years. As the athletic form (竞技版) of the game “eagle (老鹰) catching chickens”, kabaddi needs nothing but an area that is 13 meters long and 10 meters wide.Sepak takraw first became popular in Southeast Asia. It is similar to the traditional Chinese game of shuttlecock kicking (踢毽子). Players need to use their feet, head, knees and other parts of their body to move the ball. It is also called “kick volleyball”.Although the Asian Games don’t include as many countries as the Olympic Games, they have even more events, especially the ones born out of the Asian region. This makes it really unique.As Chinese President Xi Jinping said at the event’s opening ceremony (开幕式), “The 19th Asian Games have included many disciplines (项目) with distinctive (有特色的) Asian features. It provides a platform (舞台) to celebrate sports and culture, and showcases Asian culture that is inclusive (包容的), vibrant (充满活力的) and always keen (渴望的) to learn from others.”1.What gold medal did Tong Xin win at the Asian Games?A.

To show the athletes’ sporting spirit.A. abcB. bcdC. bdeD. cdeC，阅读理解Recently, people online have been selling verbal abuse (言语辱骂) “services”. An internet user pays the seller some money to abuse the victim (受害者) through social media. However, this is not right or legal.To know more about this, Teens talked to Xing Junxia, a lawyer at the S&P Law Firm in Beijing.In life, we may say bad words to people we don’t like. If it gets serious, it becomes verbal abuse. “The act of verbal abuse violates (侵犯) the victim’s rights,” Xing said. “These words usually hurt the victim’s right to reputation (名誉权), which can lead to civil liability (民事责任).” The attacker (攻击者) should stop this right away. He or she should also formally (正式地) say sorry to the victim. This is to cut down the influence of the abuse.Xing pointed out that both the attacker and the payer should bear civil liability because they do it together.In more serious situations, the attacker will face administrative penalties (行政处罚). A man in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang, who ran an online verbal abuse “service” and had abused 25 people, was recently caught. Although he knew it was illegal, he believed it was an easy way to make money. In the end, he was fined (处罚) 500 yuan and handed over all of the illegal money he had got.In the most serious situations, Xing said, verbal abuse can make the victim ill. The attacker should then face criminal liability (刑事责任). It means that he or she may spend time in prison (监狱), said Xing.1. If you are abused verbally, you can legally _____.A. ask the attacker for some moneyB. ask the attacker to stop and say sorryC. post the attacker’s acts onlineD. beat the attacker2. Who is at fault in the case of selling verbal abuse “service”?A. Only the attacker.B. Only the payer.C. Both the attacker and the payer.D. The attacker, the payer and the victim.3. The example in Paragraph 5 mainly shows us _____.A. that the payer won’t face a penaltyB. that the attacker is only fined in serious casesC. the reason for “selling” verbal abuseD. the result of running verbal abuse “service”4. What is the main idea of the story?A. Selling services online is illegal.B. Verbal abuse can hurt others physically.C. We should use laws to protect ourselves.D. Verbal abuse is law-breaking.D，阅读理解Do you know about Bee & Flower? It was once a well-known hair care brand in China. Many brands like this have “disappeared” because young people don’t know about them.But recently, some old Chinese brands have made a comeback. It’s a good start, but there’s more to it.In early September, anger over a Chinese makeup brand’s eyebrow pens (眉笔) lit up the internet. Some people thought that they were too expensive as it cost 79 yuan to get three pens. Shortly after, Bee & Flower started to sell three large bottles of hair care products for the same price. It showed that Chinese products could still be cost-effective (划算的).Many Chinese brands took their chance by selling through livestreaming (直播). What’s more, they also helped sell each other’s products. For example, hosts of sports brand Erke washed their hair with Bee & Flower products on Sept 13.Many people can’t stop buying these products. Why? For one thing, they think that the products of these Chinese brands are good to use and don’t cost much. Also, it makes buyers feel proud. They can help these old brands “come back to life” by buying the products. Buyers believe in these brands and will use their money to help them grow.However, livestreaming events should only be a start. How can brands keep people interested? Good products with good prices. The brands shouldn’t take advantage of (利用) people’s trust. They should turn it into a reason to make their products better.1.

Recently, many Chinese young people have turned to trees to help with their stress. Although it sounds strange, there’s a science behind the act of tree-hugging.It can be explained by the “biophilia hypothesis (亲生命假说)”. It was pointed out by US scientist Edward Wilson in 1984. He said that humans are born to love being around other living things. Humans’ love for nature is “in our DNA”. This idea helps to explain why people prefer natural, green views to city views. It’s also one of the reasons why people love cute pets.Some studies have looked into why tree-hugging can help with our health. A study in 2021 reported that the activity can increase oxytocin (催产素). It’s a hormone responsible for feelings. The higher the level of oxytocin is, the calmer and happier you may be. Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can lead to an increase in oxytocin.Another hormone called cortisol (皮质醇) is a marker of stress. The brain produces more cortisol when the person is anxious (焦虑的), angry, or very sad. Hugging trees helps cut cortisol production, which makes us feel better.Although the activity is helpful to us, it’s important to keep in mind that we shouldn’t hurt nature while doing it. Trees often hold valuable ecosystems (生态环境). Many small creatures live on the tree – and they are too small to be seen. You may want to be gentle when hugging trees – just like how you hug a friend!1. Which of the following can be explained by the “biophilia hypothesis”?A. People feel relaxed in parks.B. People like doing exercises.C. People love visiting historical sites.D. People like to live in cities.2. How might people feel with a lower hormone oxytocin?A. They might feel calm and happy.B. They might feel angry and sad.C. They might feel relaxed and scared.D. They might feel happy and sad.3. What is the right relationship between the hormone cortisol and our feelings?A. We feel sadder with a lower level of cortisol.B. We feel angrier with a lower level of cortisol.C. We feel more stressed with a higher level of cortisol.D. We feel much happier with a higher level of cortisol.4. What can we learn from the story?A. Hugs give people energy.B. The “biophilia hypothesis” is partly wrong.C. Tree-hugging is harmful to the environment.D. Hugging trees in the right way helps reduce stress.语法填空Hong Kong actor Tony Leung Chiu-wai received a very important award (奖项) – the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement (终身成就金狮奖) at the 80th Venice Film Festival On Sept 2.

Laozi, a famous Chinese philosopher (哲学家)A Chinese teacher called Zhen Daqian from a high school in Beijing gave further explanation: Laozi tells us the top character is just like water. All life in the world cannot live without water, but water never asks for anything in return. It just keeps giving quietly. Also, water often stays where people don’t like, such us low-lying wetlands and deserted valleys (空旷的山谷). This kind of low profile (低调) makes water the closest to the law of the universe. It seems that we have always taken qualities like bravery and strength as great virtues, but we should not forget what water has taught us.In dealing with people, we can act as water. Do our best to help others without trying to get fame or benefit. At the same time, stay modest (谦虚的). It’s unwise to always talk about the favors you gave to others. Even if no one cares about you in a difficult situation, you need to stay calm. After all, water will not choose where to be, it just flows to where it is needed.We know that the Chinese nation has always valued Laozi’s ideas about water. In 2014, President Xi Jinping mentioned it at the welcome dinner of the 22nd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Beijing. He said APEC members are brought together by the water of the Pacific Ocean and have a shared responsibility to make the Pacific an ocean of peace, friendship and cooperation (合作).1．Which of the following is not the quality of water?A．Low profiles.B．Bravery.C．Giving quietly.D．Never asking for anything in return2．What does the underlined word “disdain” mean?A．like B．hate C．enjoy D．admire3．What is the right way we should act as water in dealing with people?A．Staying proud.B．Helping others for fame and benefit.C．Staying excited in a difficult situation.D．Never talking about the favors you gave to others.4．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A．We Chinese nation has always valued Laozi’s ideas about water.B．The water of the Pacific Ocean is very important.C．All the APEC members should cooperate well with each other.D．All the APEC members should keep the peace of the Pacific Ocean. 5．Which of the following could be the best title for this passage?A．Laozi — A Famous Philosopher in ChinaB．Zhen Daqian—A Chinese TeacherC．Water — The Best VirtueD．Goodness — The Word and The World。

ADifferent countries have different customs in giving presents.In China you must never give a clock to a Chinese person，because the sound of the word for “clock” is similar to the sound of “death”. Also，don't wrap a present in white，black or blue paper，because they are the colors for funerals(葬礼).Don't give a knife，because something sharp can cut a friendship.In Russia if you give flowers as presents, you have to give an odd number of them (one，three，five，etc.) because even numbers of flowers are for funerals.In Germany if you are invited to dinner，flowers are good presents to take to your dinner hostess, but don't take her red roses because it means you are in love with her. Don't take thirteen of anything because it's an unlucky number. Don't take an even number of anything, either. Don't wrap your presents in white, brown, or black paper.( )1.

Women，men and even children can shake hands. Shaking hands also seems simple，but there are some important things to remember. When you shake hands，you must look into the other person's eyes the whole time you're shaking hands.Shake hands strongly. If you give a weak handshake，the other person might think that you're not kind. He / She might also feel that you don't like him / her or you don't want to touch him / her. Shake hands with men and women the same way. If you shake hands with a very old person or a small child，be careful not to hurt them.Some people don't know how long to keep shaking. The most common handshake should have three shakes and then you should let go. Don't worry if Americans shake hands a little longer.Your handshake is like your smile. It's special to you. You need to find a comfortable strong handshake that shows what you are like. Because the handshake allows people to touch，the hand should be warm，clean and dry.Warm：Put your hands into your pockets before you shake hands. This will warm them. Clean：If you know you're going to meet someone，wash your hands so they'll be clean. Dry：Everyone gets nervous and your hands may get wet. It isn't a good feeling for the other person. Again，put your hands into your pockets. This will dry them.( )6. When you stay in the USA，the common way to greet is to ________.A. bowB. kissC. hugD. shake hands( )7.

It is usual to tip waiters, taxi drivers and porters who help carry your bags at a train station, an airport or in a hotel. Waiters expect to get a fifteen percent tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.In England, you can see people standing in line almost everywhere, at the bus stop, in a bank, in the post office, in the doctor's waiting room and so on. So when you are in the UK, make sure to wait in a queue even if there are only two of you. It's a good idea to talk about the weather there. It's a favorite subject of conversations with the British.In Spain, it's a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not usually open until 9:00 p.m.In Saudi Arabia, men kiss one another on the cheek(脸颊).Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite for you to do the same.In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time.

Greetings are casual—a handshake, a smile and a “hello” will do just fine.The British often simply say “hello” when they meet friends. They usually shake hands only when they meet for the first time. Social kissing, often just a peck(轻吻) on the cheek, is common in an informal(非正式的) situation between men and women and also between women who know each other very well.In Japan, the common greeting for both men and women is to bow when they greet someone, instead of giving a handshake or a hug.Hungarians like to greet in a friendly way—kiss each other on both cheeks. The most common way is to kiss from your right to your left. When men meet for the first time, a handshake is the norm.In Albania, men shake hands when greeting one another. A kiss on the cheek may also be common if there is a close relationship. Women may shake hands or kiss each other on both cheeks.In Armenia, by tradition, a woman needs to wait for a man to offer his hand for a handshake.

Do your parents hug you before you go to school? In Western countries, it is quite common to greet close friends or relatives with a hug.You might hug your teammates after winning a basketball game. If one of your friends is having a bad day, you can hug them to cheer them up. Friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time will usually hug each other when meeting.Of course, people in different countries have different opinions when it comes to hugging. After coming to China, I’ve noticed that people are generally more reluctant(不情愿的) to hug than they are in my home country, the US.My Chinese friends told me that hugging is considered to be very intimate(亲密的) in their culture. It usually only happens between people who are really close to each other, like couples. Chinese people don’t usually hug in public, either.But people’s attitudes(态度) towards hugging can also change. I remember watching a video story about a “hugging party” that was held in Shanghai. A local artist held the party, inviting strangers and asking them to hug each other.The Chinese participants(参与者) clearly looked uncomfortable. However, after the party, several of them changed their minds. They decided that hugging doesn t have to be awkward(尴尬的) and can actually be quite nice. So next time you see your mom or dad, give them a hug—see how it makes you feel.()31.What usually happens between good friends when meeting in Western countries?A.Hugging.B.Nodding.C.Shaking hands.D.Smiling.()32.The second paragraph tells us .A.the advantages of hugging each otherB.some situations in which people hug each otherC.the reasons why friends need to hug each otherD.how to cheer up our friends()33.In Chinese culture, hugs usually happen between .A.friendsB.classmatesC.couplesD.relatives()34.What did people do at the “hugging party”?A.They were invited to hug each other.B.They watched a video about hugging.C.They told stories about hugging.D.They listened to music about hugging.

It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sports, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu’s islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano(火山) surfing and land diving.V olcano SurfingOn Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 300 meters into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts(爆发) almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it’s very different. V olcano surfers try to escape from the volcano—without getting hit by flying rocks! It’s fast, fun and dangerous—the perfect extreme sport(极限运动).Land DivingMost people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony(宗教仪式). A man ties tree vines(树藤) to his legs. He then jumps head-first from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head—without breaking the vines. Every spring, island natives (men only) still take part in this amazingactivity.()36.What does the underlined word “those” m ean?A.Visitors.B.Animals.C.Activities.D.Islands.()37.According to the passage, Mount Yasur .A.is no longer activeB.is on Pentecost IslandC.erupts almost every dayD.rises 800 meters into the sky()38.Why have people recently started climbing Mount Yasur?A.Because people can climb it easily.B.Because people can make money.C.Because people can watch snow on it.D.Because people can surf the volcano.

So far I have already had a few friends and had some traditional English food here. But after having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes, I thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food, especially my favorite—huo guo. You can’t imagine how excite d I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen, I seemed to smell huo guo in the air.To my surprise, when I went into the room, I didn’t see any sign of huo guo. Where was it?With many questions in my mind, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with an English girl, I got to know that Chinese huo guo is completely different from hotpot. Chinese huo guo is written in two words—hot pot; and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.Hotpot is made from mutton and onion. On the top are pieces of potatoes. People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot at a low heat. It takes very little effort to prepare. You can oftensee it at parties in the UK because it’s easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.Hotpot doesn’t taste bad.

（1）Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village・As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped・ He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg・ No chains（辛员链）,no cages・ It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason they did not.He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn't try to get away."Well, "the trainer said, “when they are veiy young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's eno ugh to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they can not break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free?"How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes・ But because they were always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn't.Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before?_______ .We should never give up the struggle in lifb.1.What did the writer see in the village?A.Chains.B.

Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first language? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first finger, which they extend or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb（拇扌旨）to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers.A group of scientists studied aboriginal（土著白勺）people in Australia. These people don't have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don't even have words for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.In a similar study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe（部落）in northwestern Brazil dorft have words for numbers such as "one” or u three^・ They are not able to say "five trees99 or u ten trees” but can say "some trees”, “more trees" or “many trees”. Professor Edward Gibson said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count, “But here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but it's not useful in their culture, so they've never picked it up."Although all humans are able to understand quantities（数量），not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting・ Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too.1.The writer begins with the. four questions in order to ___________ ・A.make a surveyB.interest readersC.tell a storyD.solve math problems2.What do we learn fi-om the difference in finger counting between the U.S. and China?A.People from China count much faster than people from the U.S.B.People from China need two hands to count from one to ten.C.People of different cultures may use different ways of finger counting.D.People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.3.Which of the following is true about aboriginal Australians?A.They have only a few words for numbers・B.They have hand movements to stand for numbers.C.They can only count to five on their fingers.D.They can understand different ideas about numbers・4.The study of the Piraha tribe shows that ___________ ・A.people all over the world know how to countB.people of the tribe have words for numbersC.some groups of people are not smart enough to countD.counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe5.What is the main idea of the passage?A.People from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math.B.Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans.C.In some aboriginal cultures, people don't even know how to count.D.Some languages don't have number words because people don't need numbers・（3）I spoke at a middle school in 1995・ When it was over, the headmaster asked me if I would visit a student.

Someday, when I get to the Olympics and win my gold medal, I will show it to you：Last summer I heard from Matthew's parents.

As a foreign teacher here, I'm wondering how it (2) and what are the results. You can spend more money without being effective.One of my biggest questions is: Why do children in the USA stay in school 2-3 hours less each day, have very (3) homework, no weekend classes and still do well in education in comparison to most Chinese students?Now, in my opinion, Chinese students are smart,very intelligent, I know. I teach them. They know how to study hard and for long hours. They know how to stand long classes. Children in the USA wouldn't sit (4) a class of over an hour. 40-50 minutes for most classes at most in the USA.When Chinese students attend university in the USA, their success rate is nearly 100%. Very, very rare does a Chinese child fail in the USA. Why? The answer is the same—they know how to study hard.So, (5) to Chinese children, American children get far less classroom instruction and far less homework at night. Yet there are over 200,000 Chinese college students (6) schools in the U.S. and that number is growing by 25% annually. In 3 years, there will likely be over 400,000 Chinese students studying in the USA.Now, I can reason and reconcile (7) Chinese students want to attend college in the USA. But in my year and a half here, I've met parents (8) children are in middle school and the parents want to send them to the USA. It seems to me that in China, long hours, extra hours and extra days of classes is realized as better education. Schools I've taught at here, (9) adding classes and oftentimes, longer classes. In the West, parents, teachers and students would never permit this. They wouldn't think of sending their children to school on Saturday or Sunday. However, in China, it is very common.I honestly and sincerely don't know the answers to these questions. If Western education is THAT much better, then, shouldn't Western styles of teaching (10) in China?

1David Lee, a professional cobbler, was repairing the heel of a shoe when his hand got hurt in the machine. The accident reportedly resulted in Lee’s thumb getting severed from his hand. “I shouted for someone to ring an ambulance, but I couldn’t see how bad it was. I saw my thumb drop on the floor,” he said. “I had no pain though. I didn’t look as I compressed it with my jumper. I calmly turned the machines in the shop off.I walked straight away, and I knew how bad it was and I just worried that I wouldn’t be able to fix shoes again. I went outside for a cigarette while I waited for the ambulance.”Lee admits that he cried his eyes out when he thought about it, as he thought he was going to lose his shop. He was more concerned about that than his thumb because this is his passion. After being taken to a nearby hospital, he was transferred to the Pulvertaft Hand Centre, at Royal Derby Hospital, where doctors suggested using his big toe to replace the thumb. Lee agreed, saying his main concern was his business. When he was asked about his new thumb, he said, “It feels heavy having a toe where the thumb should be.” Now, after recovering from the injury, Lee is back to cobbling and he’s e ven able to use his toe-thumb to paint shoes, which he says is a hobby of his.1.

Jang Ji-sung, the mother of four, wore a VR headset and gloves that allowed her to see, hear and touch the digitized version of her daughter. Jang was filmed in front of a green screen and formed her hands as though she was holding the girl's face.The documentary aims to reunite sad relatives with lost family members. The two spent some time in a digitized park. The girl interacted with her mother, and told her that she misses her. The mother grew emotional and replied, "I miss you, too." The girl finally tells her mother that she is tired and falls asleep.During the filming, Jang's husband and one of her other children watched from the audience and were also brought to tears. "Maybe it’s a real paradise," Jang said. "I met Nayeon (her daughter), who called me with a smile, for a very short time, but it’s a very happy time. I think I’ve had the dream I’ve always wanted."Dr. Blay Whitby, an expert from the University of Sussex, said that the show raised some concern.

7A doctor is praising a Minnesota state police who stopped her for speeding, but gave her N95 masks instead of a ticket. Dr. Sarosh Ashraf Janjua thanked State Police Brian J Schwartz for his act of kindness during the coronavirus pandemic in a Facebook post.Dr. Janjua, a cardiologist working in the area, explained she was pulled over after driving over the speed limit. Police Schwartz told her it was irresponsible for her to be speeding because it would take up resources if she got into an accident and she would not be able to help her patients.She waited to be slapped with a ticket,but instead,he let her off with a warning — plus five medical masks. They came from a supply that the state had given him for his own protection, according to Janjua. "I burst into tears," she said. "And though it may just have been the cold wind, I think he teared up a little as well, before wishing me well and walking away."Like many of her fellow health care workers and first responders, Dr. Janjua said she had been feeling fear for not having enough protective equipment and worried about what would happen if she fell sick far from home."This complete stranger, who owed me nothing and is more on the front lines than I am, shared his valuable masks with me, without my even asking," she added. "We are going to be OK." The Minnesota State Patrol praised the doctor and the police for their hard work and dedication.1.

ADCD8At some point in our lives during childhood, we have been told to “jump more” in order to grow taller. A couple in China encouraged their 12-year-old son to jump 1,000 times a day. They had also offered him 10 yuan for every 1,000 jumps he did. Why would any parent want their child to jump a thousand times every single day? This kid is 145cm, and the average height for kids of that age is 152cm. As typical Asian parents, they want him to grow taller and they also believed that jumping could help.The boy’s father gave him a jump rope and managed to convince him to start jumping. From that day on, he used the jump rope every day unless he fell sick, and he even jumped up to 3,000 times per day. After one whole year of jumping, the parents rewarded a total of 4,000 yuan. However, the boy not only did not grow taller, but he ended up being the shortest student in his class.It turns out that he had been spending the money that he earned on unhealthy snacks like potato chips! This explained the mystery where he often lost his appetite at the dinner table and the “unexplainable” weight gain. His parents thought he was going through a hard time with study, but he was actually just snacking endlessly.So, this is a clear example of how jumping rope does not help kids grow taller. Parents should really just accept that height is mainly affected by the parents’ genes, and also a healthy, balanced diet.1. Why did the parents ask their kid to do more rope jumping?A To build up his body.B To let his kids lose weight.C To let his kids grow taller.D To give him more pocket money.2. What surprised the parents?A Their kid almost jumped every day.B Their kid fell ill because of jumping rope.C Their kid became taller and taller.D Their kid became the shortest one in his class.3. Why did the boy eat less at the dinner table?A Because he ate too many snacks.B Because he didn’t like the food at home.C Because he wasn’t good at his study.D Because he got hurt while jumping rope.4. What can we learn from the passage?A Exercise is important in the children’s growth.B It’s not right to ask the kids to jump rope.C Parents’ traditional thought turns out to be not correct.D The height of children mainly depends on sleep and diet.CDAC9At just the age of seven, Mikail Akar is already a famous name in the art world. His paintings sell for thousands of dollars around the world, and he has another name “Preschool Picasso”.Mikail was born in Germany. His talent for painting was found by mistake three years ago. His parents bought him a canvas and some paint and let him get creative with them. They had already bought him plenty of toys and cars, so they thought they would give him something different,but they weren’t expecting him to paint a fantastic one. But Mikhail did such a good job with his first canvas that his father thought his wife painted it.Mikail Akar does well in abstract works and he can punch the canvas while he is wearing his father’s boxing gloves. “When I’m older, I want to be a football player,”Akar said.“Painting is quite tiring for me.Sometimes it can take a long time, especially with boxing gloves.”Last month, during a presentation of Akar's new work at a personal gallery in Berlin, one visitor was very surprised to know that the artist was just a child in a primary school. His parents say that they are careful not to push Mikail too hard. He only paints when he wants to, sometimes once a week, other times once every month. His son’s success as a painter has changed their lives, and they now live for art. Akar’s paintings now are popular among buyers from across the world. One of the works sold for $12,000, and the money was given to a charity for children.1. Who found Mikail’s talent?A Mikail Akar himself.B Mikail’s parents.C Mikail’s art teacher.D A famous painter.2.

What can we know from the last paragraph?A Mikail’s parents don’t ask him to do more painting.B A teacher was surprised to see Mikail’s painting.C Mikail’s success has brought the family more happiness.D All the Mikail’s works are given the charity for children.BDCA10Most ninth-grade girls worry about schoolwork, friends and personal life. Lately, however, Valerie Xu has focused on face masks. The 15-year-old from Addison, Texas, says she wanted to do something about the lack of protective equipment for medical workers during the coronavirus pandemic(冠状病毒大流行). So with wisdom and a teenager’s good wish, Xu raised donations, bought more than 10,000 protective masks and delivered them to a Dallas medical center. And she’s gathering more.The idea of donation started with a conversation that Xu had with a family friend, a Florida ER doctor who was forced to wear the same protective mask for several days.“This really amazed me in America,” Xu said. “We’re supposed to be considered therichest country in the world, yet doctors and nurses fighting on the front line cannot get proper protection.”Since Xu wanted to make a local influence, she started a GoFundMe online to buy masks for the UT Southwestern Medical Center, the largest hospital near her home. It has raised more than$3,800.Xu researched vendors in China and picked two suppliers, donating $1,200 of her own money to the cause. She said her activity so far has collected a total of11,200masks.Xu has received grateful messages from medical workers and others.“If there is one thing that I have learned from this experience, it is that people care and are willing to help our community, which is the truth of our American spirit," she said.1. Recently Valerie Xu has cared about _______.A friendsB homeworkC charity workD personal life2. What surprised Valerie Xu?A A Dallas medical center lost lots of masks.B Her family friend didn’t have face masks in hospital.C Her community didn’t have enough face masks.D American medical workers were short of protective equipment.①3.

She made a research on the mask ②③④sellers. she sent text messages to local medical workers.A ①③④B ②③④C ①②④D ①②③4. What has Xu learned from the experience?A People only care about their own community.B God helps those who help themselves.C People care about and help each other when in need.D A man’s will does not depend on the number of his age.CDDC11A mum felt tired because she was the only one to clean up around the house. So she came up with a new game to keep her happy as she goes. She put money under the litter with tape around the house, including toilet rolls and pieces of paper on the floor.When the money wasn’t taken away, she added the prize money. She said that anyone who decided to lend a helping hand could get a small fortune. Unluckily for her family, they don’t join in the litter picking, leaving only their hard-working mum to take back her own money.The mum posted the idea to Facebook with a photo of the toilet roll. It was lying on the bathroom floor, and showed it was there for full seven days. She wrote online, "Needing something to inspire kids and husbands to tidy up around the house? Clearly this game hasn’t worked here yet, maybe one day. For now, I’ll keep raising the prize money, knowing it’s coming back."One said, "My kids would probably pick it up, take out the money, throw it back on the floor and forget about the whole thing." A second replied, "No one will pick them up even if it saves their life." Another mum has used a way to get her child to lend a hand with chores around the house. After she changed her laundry area, she left a large sign to everyone else living in the home that reads,"Put your laundry away, or I'll beat you. Love mum."1.

With no work or money during the lockdown(封锁), Paswan and his daughter were struggling to make ends meet.

人教新目标九年级英语《阅读理解》专项练习题（含答案）One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn (谷仓),they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later, they indeed saw mice running out one after another. Then everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up ,they saw two mice squeezing(挤) out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they cam out of the hole they did not run away immediately .Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite(咬) the tail of the other.Everyone was puzzl ed, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and coul d not see anything and the other was trying to all ow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.After seeing what happened, everyone was speechl ess and l ost in thought. During the meal time the group of people sat d own in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.One serious American official said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.” The others thought for a whil e and said, “That was why!”A smart French said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.”Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense.A Japanese said,“I think the relationship between those two mice was th at of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a whil e and felt this was more reasonable.

After the meal to my great surprise. Iwas tol d that I had eaten a dog. In European countries, it is a very strange idea to eat a dog. My Chinese friends explained that the dog meat is very useful for warming the body during winter and is often eaten in the north of China.In England we call d ogs “man’s best friend”. It would be against the law to eat a d og in England.

In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.About 75% of the worl d's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more mod ern to d eal with the coming problems.

According to her, the best age to start learning the violin is between three and six. She says, “It's the time when you are l earning about the world.” Margaret, who lives in Lond on, likes to take pupils at three and four. However, she has made l ots of exceptions (例外) for five-year-olds. She started teaching the violin in 1972 and she taught her children's five-year-old school friends at first.Margaret's pupils have group l essons. Each group has about twelve pupils and each lesson takes an hour, once half a month. Each pupil also has one individual (一个人的) lesson a week with her. Parents have to attend the classes. It is important that the parents take an active interest in the l essons.In Margaret's opinion, it's important for one to know why music sounds the way it does. Without knowing it, one can't become a great musician at all. So from the earliest lessons, pupils in her class learn to play by ear. They do not even try to read music (读懂乐谱) until they have been playing for several years. Margaret says that her method (方法) is not meant to produce great violinists. She always suggests that pupils who perform very well should leave and study the violin using more traditional methods.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
