九年级上Unit 2一、阅读理解AYou may see some herons in the park using bread or insects as a tool to catch fish.This is just one of the ways in which birds have changed their living habits because of humans.Now,a new study has found that birds that are able to change their behaviors in this way are less likely to die out. These changes may include adding new food to their diet,developing new hunting skills,or living in a new environment.These new behaviors have long been considered advantages in avoiding extinction.To test this on a world level,scientists studied reports of new behaviors among bird species.The study includes more than 3,800 new behaviors among 8,600 species of birds.They concluded that the more new hunting skills the birds master,the larger population we will have.In other words,extinction risk reduces as the number of new skills increases.However,it is stressed that innovation can only protect birds from changes in their living place,but not from over-hunting or harm from other species.It should be noticed that some animals are very dangerous for some birds:snakes can attack little birds; some hungry mice steal birds' eggs.Above all,humans often mean the greatest danger to birds.They always take up too much space,cut down millions of trees and even cause various kinds of pollution.This shows that,unlike what is usually believed,the ability to innovate protects animals from some but not all of the rapid changes in the environment.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

Or if I want to watch a certain television program, I'll set an alarm clock at the right time and put the clock on top of the TV set. I can remember almost anything if I use my clocks.

How could this happen? People used to think that hard work is the only way to success, but now they have understood that smart work can make them succeed, too.Hard workers don't mind working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions, "Why should I suffer( 遭受…苦) ) this?” ” Isn't there a better way to do this?" Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now. Progressing in every field(领域)is the directresult of "try to find a better way" by smart workers.There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an unusual letter fromsomeone who complained that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought.How could empty soapboxes go out of file factory? The engineers checked the producing and packing. The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases( 情况), the packing machine let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon worked out a solution, he put a huge X-ray machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapboxes. After teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted."Sir, we could have solved the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way," a worker said."Really? How?""We can put a huge fan near the packing machine. The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes, leaving the other boxes with soap".See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not only work hard like the engineer, but also think smart likethis worker.秒杀集训营一、词汇辨识1.all the time__________________2.find out______________3.pass the exam_________________4.do well in__________________5.blow away_____________6.think of__________________7.in order to_________________ 8. soap___________ 9.solution____________ 10.engineer___________二、选择题( ) 1.

She couldn't use chopsticks, either. So for the first two or three weeks, she had to take fork and spoon with bet when she went to eat in a restaurant. But now, with the help of her friends, she can use chopsticks very well.Food was a big problem, too. It took her a few weeks to get used to Chinese food. She didn't really like it at first. She thought it was too oily(油腻的). Also, she doesn't eat much rice. She usually eats bread, and her bread is quite different from most bread in China. Chinese bread is usually light and sweet. So she makes her oven bread at home. As a Muslim(穆斯林), she isn't allowed to eat pork.But that isn't really a problem. After she’d been in Wuhan for about a month, shefound out that there were Muslims there, too—and lots of Muslim restaurants! Most ofthem serve Xinjiang food，which is very similar to the food she eats. So now her foodproblems are solved.What still puzzles her now is communication. After she has stayed in Wuhan for half a year, she is just able to speak several Chinese words. Each time she goes to a market to buy things, she finds great difficulty in making herself understood with her broken Chinese. Sometimes her body language helps, but it doesn't always happen. However, she has made friends with a girl who can speak Chinese very well, and she decides to learn from her.秒杀集训营一、词汇辨识1. serve_________2.stay__________3.arrive in_____________4.know about_____________5.make friends with sb_______________6.get used to_________________7.at first________________8. with the help of…_________________9.be able to do_______________ 10.decide to do______________11. solve food problems _______________ 12. find out_____________ 13.be different from____________二、选择题( ) 1.

GoIn 1985 I visited China. I thought many Chinese parents put much pressure on only high school students. But in the following years, I found the pressure came to primary school children, then those of pre-school age, and finally newborn babies and pre-born children.In order to succeed, one or two years before entering kindergarten(幼稚园)they must study English, drawing, singing, and dancing, and the three years of kindergarten are mostly spent to build up an early lead in primary school performance. What if parents let their 3 or 4 years old child enjoy free time onSaturday and Sunday, after five days in nursery?They would be thought to bewasting their kid’s early life. As others do, so must they do.Yet children have not only the right, but the need to play. Kindergartensshould not be a school. There should be no classroom, no lesson, no homework, and especially no exams. Instead, playing should be the first thing for children.They need to play with others and also to play on their own,as playing is good for learning in a lively way. Children can discover numbers while playing games and the alphabet(字母表) through songs. Some Chinese characters can become familiar to them by being used in games, but the problem with kindergartens is very serious. Chinese parents think studying is more important. Children work hard while having less and less time to play. What these parents fail to realize is that they are following the examples of how not to raise a kid.秒杀集训营一、词汇辨识1.mostly____________2.following_____________3.succeed_____________4.yet___________5.right____________6.discover______________7.serious____________8.instead__________9.especially______________ 8.primary school________________二、选择题( ) 1.

GoDuring the 1800s, African Americans worked long days in the fields of the American South. They sang songs that they had brought from Africa while working. One person sang a line. Then a group of workers repeated it. The song’s words told of the hardships(艰苦) that people suffered. They clapped their hands and stomped(跺) their feet to the music.In the 1860s, the music changed greatly. African American music took new forms. It was also influenced by dance music, which had great rhythm(节奏). Banjos(班卓琴) became popular. A blues singer usually sang a line and then played the banjo in reply. By the early 1900s, the guitar had taken the place of the banjo in theblues music.The blues music has many obvious characteristics. One of them is that the musical notesare often “bent”. That is, they are changed slightly to give a song more strength.Lyrics are the words of a song. Blues lyrics describe everyday life. The lyrics are oftenabout the relationships between men and women. They tell about sadness and overwork. Theytell about finding and losing love, having money or being poor, being happy or sad and lonely. They almost always use the rhythms of everyday speech. A group of blues lyrics usually has three lines. The second line repeats the first line. The third line has different words.By the 1940s, large numbers of African Americans moved to Chicago. There, a new kind of “Chicago” blues began. The new music was excellent dance music. Chicago blues led to the birth of a new music style －rock and roll.秒杀集训营一、词汇辨识1.during_________2.line_________3.strength__________4.sadness_________5.lyric_________6.repeat_________7.suffer_________8.relationship_________9.lonely_________ 10.almost_________11.excellent___________ 12.sing songs____________二、选择题( ) 1.This passage is mainly about _________.A. the blues musicB. the life of African AmericansC. the blues lyricsD. the rhythms of different music( ) 2.

GoFor most people, the word "fashion (时尚)" means "clothes". But people may ask the question, "What clothes are in fashion?" And they use the word "fashionable" in the same way:"She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable color. "But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions inholidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs ...and in languages.Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past,you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different fromone of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickl y than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours.New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.秒杀集训营一、词汇辨识1. fashion___________2.mean ___________3. change_____________4. language____________5. hear about_____________6. in the same way________________7. in the past_______________8. be different from__________________ 9. from one country to another_____________________二、选择题( ) 1.

GoIt was midday when I got the call that my grandfather was not well and he was quickly getting worse. My family did not know how long he would stay in the world. I knew I had to get to the hospital to tell him how much I loved him. As I drove to the hospital, I pictured him before I got to tell him how much he meant to me. Trying to fight back the tears, I wanted to stay calm when I saw him.When I got to the hospital, I hurriedly looked for his hospital room. I found him in a semi-conscious state(半清醒状态). On my knees, I said softly, “Hello, Grandpa.”Still feeling shy, I decided not to leave his bedside without letting him know.While I asked about how he was, he told me, “I’ll be fine, Henry.” although we bothknew that wasn’t true. Then he asked me with a smile how I was doing.Hearing what my grandpa said, I was much moved. I made the decision that I hadto show my gratitude for him. As I found all the courage(勇气) I had, I hold his hand tightly. I cried out, “Grandpa, I just want to let you know how much I love you. I hope you already know that yet I just want to make sure.” By this time, the tears were rolling down my face. All those years of love that I had shut and not let him know, become free.Smiling, he said, “I know. Thank you for telling me that.” “All I have on this planet is my family and my love forthem. If there is anything I could ask of you, I want you to be good to your family: your mother, your father, and your brother. That’s all I want of you.”From then on, I began telling people how much I loved them, cared for them, and respected them. I get in touch with, for example, my babysitter, my barber, to show my appreciation. I go down into the city once a week and serve pizza to the homeless. I wake up every morning and list everything I’m thankful to in my life.秒杀集训营一、词汇辨识1.well_____________2.drove_____________3.mean_____________4.shy____________5.decide_____________6.decision__________7.without___________8.while_____________9.although________ 10.move__________11.serve____________ 12.wake up_________ 13.make sure_________二、选择题( ) 1.

九年级上Unit 4一、阅读理解AThere are countless myths to explain how the world came to have a moon to bring light to the night time. But now there is a plan for a man-made moon. It will give us far more light than the natural moon.China is preparing to put a man-made moon in the sky above Chengdu by 2020. It will reflect sunlight back onto the Earth. If it succeeds, three more such objects will be sent out in 2022, according to Wu Chunfeng, a space scientist. Wu said it would be similar to how we get moonlight, but he predicted that the man-made moon would have eight times the brightness of the real one. "This is because the object will be about 500 kilometers above the Earth. That will make it a lot closer to us than the Moon, which is over 380,000 kilometers away," Wu added.If the plan works, the man-made moon will save a lot of power. Scientists predict that Chengdu could save around 1.2 billion yuan on electricity every year if a new moon lights up 50 square kilometers of the city. And in 2022, four man-made moons can take turns to work as they will not always be in the best position relative to the Sun. Together, they can give light to an area of up to 6,400 square kilometers on the Earth for 24 hours. That means its brightness will be seen in most areas in China, reducing the need for streetlights.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
