AFive of the most beautiful villagesSidi Bou Said in TunisiaThis village seems to disappear into the sky. All the houses are painted white and the skies are clear. It's not surprising that the life here is very relaxing, and it is also home to plenty of cafes and art galleries.Wengen in SwitzerlandDo you ever wonder how the world was before cars were invented? The village called Wengen might just help you realize your dreams. Cars have been banned from this area for close to 100 years, and everything looks like it was taken right out of Heidi. The locals have kept their Swiss culture undamaged.Shirakawa-go in JapanThis village is certainly known for its unusual houses with triangular roofs which seem to resemble hands joined in prayer. It's designed to keep snow from piling up on top of houses. These houses are the symbol of the area but there aren't many of them left anymore.Eze in FranceFrance in itself is pretty, but its most attractive village is Eze. This community seems to be frozen in time. This village is the perfect melting pot of cultures because of its closeness to Nice. During the Middle Ages, it was desired by invaders(侵略者),and while this was a cause of sadness for the local people in thepast, today the village enjoys its rich heritage(遗产).The architecture here is so diverse.Bibury in EnglandLocated on the River Coln in the West of England, Bibury was described as "the most beautiful village in England”.Honey-colored 17th-century stone cottages, the Church of St.Mary and a still-working 1902 farm are some of the ancient village’s must-sees. The most photographed spot is Arlington Row, which is a collection of 14th-century stone buildings.21.Where can visitors enjoy paintings?A.In Sidi Bou Said.B.In Shirakawa-go.C.In Wengen.D.In Eze.22. What's the similarity between Wengen and Bibury?A. They both sit by a long river.B. They both have an ancient view.C. They are home to many inventions.D. They are located in the same country.23. What do we know about Eze?A. Its people look sad.B. It forbids cars to enter.C. Its architecture is modern.D. It was attacked in the past.BIt is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to explain about his efforts to give his students a better future.Mr Koziatek is part of something pioneering. He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not about books and tests and rote memorization(死记硬背),but something practical. As Koziatek knows, there is learning in just about everything. Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a desk. They can also learn geometry by putting together a bicycle.But he's also found a kind of prejudice. Working with your hands is seen as almost a mark of inferiority(低等).Schools in the family of vocational(职业的) education “have that opinion...that it's for kids who can't make it academically,”he says.On one hand, that viewpoint is a logical product of America's evolution. Manufacturing(制造业)is not the economic engine that it once was. The job security that the US economy once offered to high school graduates has largely disappeared. More education is the new way. We want more for our kids, and rightfully so.But the headlong push into bachelor's degrees for all—and the devaluing of anything less—misses an important point: That's not the only thing the American economy needs. Yes, a bachelor’s degree opens more doors.But even now, 54 percent of the jobs in the country are middle-skill jobs, such as construction and high-skill manufacturing, according to the National Skills Coalition. But only 44 percent of workers are adequately trained. There is a gap in working-class jobs, but the workers who need those jobs most aren't equipped to do them. Koziatek's Manchester School of Technology (High School) is trying to fill that gap.Koziatek's school is a wake-up call. When education becomes one-size-fits-all, it risks overlooking a nation's diversity of gifts.24. What's the characteristic of Mr. Koziatek’s school?A. Paying attention to practical learning.B. Letting students do many tests.C. Encouraging students to read books.D. Forcing students to learn by rote.25. What does the underlined phrase "that viewpoint” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Vocational education is for academically challenged students.B. Vocational education is undoubtedly a good choice.C. Not all students can be admitted to college.D. Not all students can do physical work.26. How are people reacting to the disappearance of manufacturing?A. They lower their expectations.B. They try to improve their skills.C. They turn to the government.D. They continue their education.27. What does the author think of the school's goal?A. It needs lots of effort.B. It is worth achieving.C. It is unpractical.D. It is adventurous.CWhen I was eleven, my parents gave me the first book I ever owned—“The Tales of Edgar Allan Poe”.I distinctly remember opening it, reading the first lines of "The Cask of Amontillado,”and remarking to myself, "So this is what reading is!”My delight was unbounded. Little did I know at the time that I was at the beginning of a lifelong journey.So, if I read my first real book at the advanced age of 11, what was I reading before then? In a word, readers: relatively plotless, repetitive if well-intentioned attempts to teach children to recognize letters and their sounds and to build their vocabularies. Being a dutiful boy, I went through the motions and I learned what words were. But I had no idea what writing was. Until Poe. In Poe's stories, the sentences were more complex and stylish than anything I had ever read before.Poe, in short, was a start. My parents gave me that first book, but then I went off on my own. I liked science, which led me to discover Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. Other writers followed quickly one after another: Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke. But I didn't limit myself to science fiction. Other titles that deeply impressed me early on, and which I have carried on my life's journey, include: “The Yearling," “Shane”“Ivanhoe,"“Of Mice and Men," "To Kill a Mocking bird," and “The Good Earth”.It went on from there. I became that kid who, long after his parents told him to turn the lights off, hid under the covers with a flashlight and a book, his greatest fear of being discovered and having his flashlight taken away. I realize that myparents must have known I was defying (违背) them. But in their wisdom they pretended to be ignorant of it. And so I owe my start as a reader to my parents.28. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A. The author's good memories.B. The author's childhood before 11.C. The author's parents' reading habits.D. The author's affection for his first book.29. What was the influence of plotless reading on the author?A.He didn't accumulate enough vocabularies.B. He didn't know what real writing was.C. He couldn't read complex sentences.D. He couldn't write a good article.30. What is the attitude of the author's parents to his reading under the covers?A.Indifferent.B. Tolerant.C. Anxious.D. Objective.31. What is the best title for the text?A. How I wrote a good bookB. How I found my favorite booksC. How I learned from my parentsD. How I became a reader of booksDAt one recently-opened restaurant in Japan, diners are warned that they very well might not get what they ordered—but surprisingly, it seems few customers are complaining.That's because waiters at the restaurant, which is called“The Restaurant of Order Mistakes, all have dementia and Alzheimer's(痴呆和阿尔茨海默症). The founders of the unique dining spot hope that eating there will help change opinions about dementia and teach customers to be more patient with those who suffer from it.Yahoo! Japan first reported that the restaurant opened in Tokyo's Toyosu district on June 2 and closed after June 4, but will re-open around World Alzheimer's Day in September. The restaurant’s name is a twist on the title of a 1924 story by Kenji Miyazawa called The Restaurant of Many Orders.The restaurant idea was originally thought of by a few like-minded people, including the owners of Maggie's Tokyo. The founders hope to spread a message about inclusivity(包容), and teach people to be more understanding toward elders with dementia. The restaurant also serves to point out that dementia and Alzheimer's sufferers can still be functioning members of society. It's also a fun way to celebrate human mistakes.It doesn't all run smoothly, though. The restaurant readily warns that waiters may bring customers the wrong order. They also may forget to bring drinks or other items.Mizuho Kudo, a Japanese food editor, tweeted(发推特) about her stop at the restaurant. She ordered a hamburger steak but was given gyoza dumplings instead, but everything turned out to be unexpectedly delicious and she said she "laughed a lot”during the meal. She also noted that the waiter were full of smiles and seemed to be having a lot of fun, laughing and excitedly attending to their customers with delicious food. Her tweet about the experience has been liked over 160,000 times, and many commenters seemed impressed by the idea.32. In what way is the restaurant special?A. Its waiters all suffer from a brain disease.B. It only provides traditional foods.C. Its service is the best in Japan.D. It opens only in September.33. What’s one purpose of the restaurant?A. To show dementia sufferers can still contribute to society.B. To raise money for people suffering from mental illness.C. To educate the young to understand the elders.D. To show people a new type of restaurant.34. What did Mizuho Kudo do after having a meal in the restaurant?A. She brought her friends to the restaurant.B. She opened a similar restaurant.C. She volunteered to work in the restaurant.D. She shared her experience with others.35. How did Mizuho Kudo feel about her experience in the restaurant?A．Surprising. B. Unusual.C．Pleasant. D. Necessary.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The fist-and-palm salute is typical Chinese etiquette (礼仪) with a history of more than 3,000 years.The gesture of the fist-and-palm salute: Firstly, stand straight. If you are a man, let your right hand be a half fist, and then your left hand hold your right hand in front of your chest (胸膛). Watch each other in the eyes, raise both of your hands to your brow, bent down and shake your hands toward each other gently for three times. Meanwhile, you could say some lucky greeting words such as “gong xi fa cai (Wish you much money)”, “ni hao (Hello)”, “xing hui (Nice to meet you)”, “xin nian kuai le (Happy New Year)” according to different occasions (场合).It’s believed that people considered the left as the important side for men in Chinese history, while for women, the important side is the right. So, if you are a woman, you should make the fist-and-palm salute in the other way—put your right hand on your left hand. At last, please remember when someone makes the fist-and-palm salute to you, you need to do it back as well.3. How many years of history does the fist-and-palm salute have?A．2,000 years.

But now it has become a popular outdoor activity. While rock climbing may sail be necessary for mountain climbing, most people just climb low mountains for fun.If you have even done rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing both need practice. What most people don't know is that rock climbing is one of the sports that depend on your body and mind（意志）.To climb successfully, one must use wonderful skills. One of the important rules is to always have three parts of your body on the rock face. Another important rule is that your arms only hold you close to the rock face while your legs are pushing you up, the closer you are to the rock face, the easier it is to climb.Rock climbing is a wonderful sport. Once you start to learn how to climb, you'll find more fun. People who like games such as chess playing or problem — solving may love rock climbing, because they are nearly the same in the way of thinking. For anyone who wants to get into beautiful shape, rock climbing is a fun and good way. Anyone who enjoys a difficult game and loves the outdoors should think of taking rock climbing as a new hobby.(1) When did rock climbing become a sport?A. In 1900.B. Early in the 1900s.C. In the middle of the 1900s.D. Late in the 1900s.(2) The chess players may like rock climbing because.A. they'd like to get into beautiful shapeB. it is more interesting than chess playingC. It is like chess playing in the way of thinkingD. they really like to do sports(3) Who should think of taking rock climbing as a new hobby?A. People who enjoy indoor activities.B. People who enjoy music.C. People who enjoy a difficult game and love the outdoors.D. People who love dancing.(4) What does rock climbing depend on?A. It depends on your brain.B. It depends on your hobby.C. It depends on your interests.D. It depends on your body and mind.(5) What can we learn from the passage?A. Rock climbing is a kind of indoor and outdoor activity.B. Rock climbing is a very easy sport.C. When you climb, your arms push you up.D. The closer you are to the rock face, the more difficult it is to climb.30、I have a rule for travel: Never carry a map. I prefer to ask for direction.Foreign visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don't have names. In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop."In the countryside of the American Midwest, usually there are not many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat. In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile."People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map. They measure distance by means of time, not miles. "How far away is the post office? " you ask, "Oh, " they answer, "it's about five minutes from here." You say, "Yes, but how many mils away is it? " They don't know.People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because hardly any visitors understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, "Follow me." Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.Sometimes a person doesn't know the answer to your question. What happens in this situation? A New Yorker might say, "Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers, "I don't know." People in Yucatan think that "I don't know" is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!One thing will help you everywhere—in Japan, in the US, in Greece, in Mexico, or any other place.

ASusan was doing her homework in her room when her father came in. “Do you need help?” Dad asked. “It's almost bedtime.” “No, thanks,” Susan replied. “All I have to do is to paint a rose.” However, when she was about to finish, she dropped the brush on the picture! There was a blob (污点) in the middle of her picture.“No, no, no!” Susan cried. “My rose!” The picture looked like a mess! “Oh, relax.” Dad said. “That blob in the middle can be anything. Maybe a spot (斑点) on a bird or a cat. Just be creative.”“Yes, that's right!” said Susan. “Thanks, Dad. You just saved the day!” She picked up her paintbrush again, and soon the blob on her picture became a spot on a cute little butterfly. She then added more butterflies to her picture.The next afternoon came the art class. Mr. King, the art teacher, asked the students to take a look at all the pictures. Most pictures looked great, but when a picture of a rose with butterflies flying around appeared, the classroom were surprised.“I don't get it,” Tom said, “I thought we should draw a rose, not butterflies.” “What's wrong with the butterflies?” Mary asked. “The butterflies are a fantastic idea,” said Mr. King.“Fantastic?” the class asked, shocked. “Yeah!

Finally, you will see some chemicals at the bottom of the glasses.CDid you know that vocabulary (词汇) is more important than grammar? If you have good vocabulary, you can communicate successfully, even if the grammar is not completely perfect.However, one common problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can't remember it at that moment. Does this often happen to you? The reason for this difficulty is that most students try to learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not work if you don't have a very good memory.The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words successfully is to learn new words and use them at once. You can do this with a very simple exercise. Every time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than just reading a definition (释义). You should write the word, the definition in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create.Imagine you just learn the word “generous”, write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective). definition- giving or willing to give freely. Example one, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner, you're very generous. Example two, my example: My brother is generous because he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. It's best if your example sentences are true to your life, because this creates a personal connection with the new word. The next day, read your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence using the new word. It's helpful for you to remember it. These two simple steps, writing the word and using it at once, help you remember and use new words. Do you have a vocabulary notebook? If not, start now.23. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The problem.B. The new word.C. The conversation.D. The dictionary.24. What's the correct order of the following steps of taking vocabulary notes?①Make your own example sentence.②Write the word, its English definition or translation.③Copy an example sentence from the article or dictionary.④Read your notebook again and add one more example sentence.A.②③①④B.②③④①C.③④②①D.③②①④25. How can we make the best example sentences according to the writer?A. By asking for help from friends.B. By explaining words' definitions.C. By connecting them with our life.D. By adding words from the article.26. What's the best title for the passage?A. Tips for Translating WordsB. Advice on Using GrammarC. Abilities of Creating ExamplesD. Ways of Learning New WordsDThe Shenzhou-15 astronauts Fei Junlong, Deng Qingming and Zhang Lu sent their Spring Festival greetings fromChina's Tiangong space station in a video on New Year's Eve.The astronauts showed their own calligraphy(书法) in blue clothes.

重庆市第八中学校2024-2025学年九年级上学期开学考试英语试题一、完形填空Girls who love to laugh and those who follow rules often have 1 good luck. Zheng Qinwen, a 21-year-old girl, is such a good example. When her friends were enjoying the 2 milk tea and desserts, Zheng spent 360 3 a year sticking to a strict diet.Zheng has been training very hard for more than ten years. She is always the first one to get to the training place first and the last 4 .This month, Zheng surprised the whole world with her excellent performance. She won the Olympic tennis singles gold medal, which is the first time for an Asian tennis player. It seems that all her hard work finally paid 5 in Paris.At the moment of scoring the winning goal, Zheng dropped her racket and fell happily on the ground. 6 unforgettable experience winning the gold medal was! She raised her arms high and cheered, listening to the loud cheers all around. “ 7 the match was almost over, my hands were shaking, but I paid much attention and tried my-best to hit the next ball,” Zheng told the reporters, “When I won, I felt like I dealt with the pressure properly and did 8 than I ever thought I could. Nothing can describe my feelings right now. It’s unreal. I was hoping to get a medal for China and I made 9 .”People used to call her "Fire" because she was very crazy about what she liked. But now, Zheng has learned to control herself and be patient too. She's like a mix of “water” and “fire” when playing matches. This new way of playing has made her even more successful, and her fans now are used to 10 her “Queen Wen.”1．A．a B．/C．the2．A．later B．late C．latest3．A．day B．days C．day's4．A．to leave B．leave C．left5．A．for B．on C．off6．A．What B．What an C．How7．A．After B．During C．When8．A．well B．better C．best9．A．it B．this C．that10．A．call B．be called C．callingA woman in Yunnan was hurt by a black bear recently in the mountains when collecting bamboo shoots.It was no normal bear—it was an Asian black bear, a very 11 kind. Between 1950 and 2023, Asian black bears caused 765 human deaths, according to a study in the journal PLOs Biology. This makes it one of the most dangerous large animals.However, bears, 12 the most dangerous black bears, do not often hurt people, US scientist Lynn Rogers told the North American Bear Center. “The 13 why black bears hurt people is that people are too close,” he said. “Almost all recorded bear attacks (袭击) in the wild have resulted from humans surprising the bear. For example, hunters (猎人) typically aren’t making any noise, but they are at the highest risk of being attacked 14 they suddenly appear in front of bears.”According to China Science Communication (CSC), an attack 15 also happen when people scare baby bears from a place nearby. When black bears are taking care of 16 babies, mother bears can be very dangerous.Also, people may find that bears and humans are more likely to meet in recent years. More people near bears means less space for these animals to live in. Bears go to look 17 food near villages, and this leads to more “meetings” with humans which may bring harm or even cause death, said CSC．So, what should you do when there’s a bear right in front of you? Play dead? It could work, the bear may not 18 you as a danger.There are better ways. If you see a bear before it notices you, don’t get closer or keep watching it. Just walk away 19 in the other direction. If a bear sees you first, don’t run—it might run after you. Instead, move back slowly in the opposite direction and wait for the bear to 20 .11．A．shy B．dangerous C．direct D．patient12．A．beside B．besides C．including D．include 13．A．reason B．relative C．request D．review 14．A．so B．until C．although D．because 15．A．must B．had better C．can D．have to 16．A．his B．our C．their D．its 17．A．for B．at C．after D．on 18．A．repeat B．treat C．connect D．suggest 19．A．widely B．exactly C．privately D．silently 20．A．go up B．go out C．go away D．go down二、阅读理解Fold a Paper PlaneTest your plane by flying it out with your partner to see which one flies the farthest. 21．How many steps are there if you want to fold a paper plane?A．Five.B．Six.C．Seven.D．Eight.22．The best kind of paper to use is _________.A．dirty paper B．A4 paper C．soft paper D．notebook paper 23．The last step is to ________.A．fold a piece of paper in half B．fold the top two corners downC．fold the wings down D．spread out the wingsOverthinking is natural but can cause problemsImagine you are going to give a speech the next day. The night before, you spend a lot of time thinking about the possible mistakes you might make and whether you’re prepared enough. Or maybe everyone will laugh at you if you lose. Well, you might be overthinking.Overthinking means thinking about the same thing again and again, leading you to see things in the worst possible way. This is because our brains are always looking for dangers so that they can make plans to deal with those dangers and keep us safe. Those dangers in mind may come from past experiences or the “what ifs” we imagine could happen in the future.Some people believe that overthinking may be helpful because it helps us look at a problem from every possible direction and get ready for what might happen. However, research suggests that overthinking can make us stressed, worried and unhappy.What’s more, overthinking might create problems with how you get along with others. As you think the worst, make incorrect guesses, or worry about every little thing others do and say, you might misunderstand what they mean.So, instead of sitting and thinking about a problem again and again, you can pay attention to something else instead of the problem itself. Your brain might find better ways to solve the problem while you’re doing something fun, like gardening, watching a comedy or even sleeping.Also, when you find yourself overthinking, challenge these thoughts. Ask yourself if they will be sure to happen and think about other possibilities. It can be hard at first, but the following ways can help you know whether you are overthinking.24．Overthinking can make us have the following feelings EXCEPT (除了) being ________.A．stressed B．worried C．unhappy D．excited25．If you are a person who is always overthinking, what might you think if you lose a basketball game?A．My teachers will not like me and the classmates will laugh at me.B．I believe I will do better next time if I practice harder.C．Although I lost the game, I will treat myself to something delicious.D．I will talk with my coach (教练) to find out why I lost the game.26．How does the writer support his idea in Paragraph 5?A．By listing numbers.B．By giving examples.C．By raising questions.D．By showing pictures.27．If there is another paragraph after the passage, it may be about ________.A．what problems overthinking may cause B．what good things overthinking may bring C．how you can know you are overthinking D．why people are always overthinkingDoing exercise is very important for a happy and healthy life. So people all over the world have invented many kinds of exercise so far. Baduanjin, a kind of Chinese traditional sport, is just one of them. The traditional Chinese exercise was invented over eight hundred years ago.At first, it was used as one kind of basic exercise for Shaolin Wushu. Compared with other sports, such as ball games and swimming, Baduanjin is slow and gentle, and usually accompanied (伴随) by soft and relaxing music, so it has been considered as a sport for the elderly. But lately,as an official video of Baduanjin got popular on the Internet, it has also become a new favorite for young people.As the name shows, Baduanjin is made up of eight groups of movements in total. At the same time, people may feel like they are wearing a dress made of soft silk after doing the exercise, so it’s also called “Eight Pieces of Silk”.Many young people come to realize the beauty of the sport. Baduanjin is easy to learn and requires no tools and little space. So it’s perfect for office workers, as they often feel a pain in their neck and shoulders, which is caused by long hours of sitting. For example, the first movement “Two hands supporting the sky” is helpful to the headache, backache and so on. The fifth movement “Shaking the head and tail” helps you to lower the stress and relax your back and neck.“I’ve been doing Baduanjin for a month, which makes me sleep better. I think Baduanjin is really helpful.” a young netizen (网民) wrote below the video. Besides him, many people said Baduanjin could help them get relaxed.Sun Yuxuan, a college student, has also noticed the rising popularity of Baduanjin. The 21-year-old girl has been teaching other students to practice it for over three years. They started with 12 members in 2021 and the group has 85 members now. “Every member in the group is very active. I didn’t expect that it could attract so many young people. I guess that’s because they know it is really good for our health,” she said.28．Which of the following is NOT the good points of Baduanjin?A．It is easy to learn.B．It requires no tools and little space.C．It is good for our health.D．It is a quick and silent sport.29．If you often have a headache, which of the following movement of Baduanjin is better for you to practice?A．B．C．D．30．The underlined word “it” (in Para. 6) refers to_________.A．the group B．every member C．the sport D．three years 31．The writer writes the article to_________.A．introduce many kinds of exercise B．ask us to teach others to practice Baduanjin C．spread the popularity of Baduanjin D．ask us not to practice BaduanjinMy mother comes from a traditional family, and she looks just like many grandmothers. She worked as a government officer her whole life. In short, she didn’t do crazy things. But that all changed a few years ago. I still remember the year when she turned 80. She surprised my brother and me with what she described as “independence”.One day she told us that she had booked a seven-night trip to Italy. Alone. Because she had never been there before, and that was one of her dreams. Of course, that was ridiculous. There was no way my brother and I could allow that. A weak, little old lady walking around the strange streets of Italy on her own, not speaking a word of Italian, with no knowledge of the laws and customs of the land—it was out of the question!She paid no attention to us. She told us she had to go instead of staying at home, watching TV all day long. She wanted to change a new environment and meet new people. She needed to experience something new.We had to send her to the airport, and of course in the next several days, my brother and I waited nervously, hoping that God could return our mother to us safely. Finally, the day came when she walked out of the airport, with her eyes shining. We felt she seemed as if she were in her thirties again. She told us it had been a wonderful success. As it turned out, she had hardly spent any time alone after asking a taxi driver to show her around the country for some days. He took her to all kinds of places—the markets, churches and restaurants. He introduced her to a blanket (毛毯) seller. “A lovely man,” and she bought some blankets. The seller took her address andpromised to mail the blankets home. The seller and my mother clearly built a friendship and she told him to drop by if he were ever in Canada. My mother laughed happily when she told this story. However, we thought she was cheated.To our great surprise, her blankets did arrive some weeks later, along with a lovely note from the seller Leonardo. To our even greater surprise, the following year Leonardo himself arrived, who was a handsome young man. My mother was busy showing him around those days and they did build a stronger friendship. The mouths of my brother and I fell open in surprise.Her character of independence shows she totally understands that life is to be lived. It reminded me of the line from the movie The Shawshank Redemption (肖申克的救赎): “Get busy living or get busy dying.”32．Why did the writer’s mother go to Italy?A．To prepare herself to enter the world of the old.B．To tell the writer and her brother she was crazy.C．To make the writer and her brother surprised.D．To make her life meaningful and realize her dream.33．In which of the following sentences can we fill the underlined word “ridiculous”?A．It is really __________ to camp outside, with shining stars in the sky.B．The fat old man looked _________ in a pink skirt and a green T-shirt.C．You must be _________ after getting such good grades.D．I am a little _________ because I have to give a book report next Monday.34．Which of the following word best describes the mother’s trip to Italy?A．Traditional.B．Boring.C．Colorful.D．Inexpensive. 35．What might be the correct order of what happened in the story?a. My brother and I sent her to the airport and waited nervously.b. The blankets and a lovely note arrived some weeks later.c. My mother told us she had booked a seven-night trip to Italy.d. She walked out of the airport, with her eyes shining.e.

This theory was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his book, Outliers: The Story of Success, which has been taken to mean that enough practice will make anyone an expert. In the book, Gladwell says that “ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness”. He gives the examples of the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates. Although they all seemed to have lots of natural talent, they also clearly put in over 10,000 hours of practice before they became successful.① ▲ For example, his work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson, who argued that Gladwell misunderstood his research in some ways. Firstly, Ericsson said that 10,000 hours was an average (平均的) number. Some people, for example, needed far fewer than 10,000 hours, and others needed many more. More importantly, Ericsson said that the quality (质量) of practice was also of great importance.①So what are the other reasons that help people become experts?①Many people say that natural talent has a large influence on becoming an expert, which can be often found in sports. For example, many baseball players in America can see the ball much sooner than others do. So no matter how much a “normal” person practises, it is very hard for them to be as good as someone who has natural talent or physical advantages and who also practices.①And how about other reasons that help create an expert? Many say IQ, personality, attitude (态度) and starting age are decisive reasons, too.①In conclusion, practice may not make perfect, but practice of high quality may lead to important improvement. Here are some suggestions on how to practise effectively (高效的): be motivated (if somebody is motivated, he or she wants to do something, especially something that needs hard work), make exact and practical goals, work outside your comfort zone (区域), continue to try, ask for others’ opinions, and of course, get lots of rest! For those who want to become an expert in something, remember that being motivated is the key-enjoy what you do and follow what you love.36．Which sentence can be put in ▲ ?A．Plenty of people agreed with Gladwell and what he said in the book.B．However, Gladwell’s theory has been said by some people to be too simple.C．A great number of people had done some research after Gladwell.D．However, Gladwell’s idea was said to be totally wrong by many. 37．What can we infer from the passage?A．If you practise hard enough you are sure to be an expert.B．Natural talent has a large influence on becoming an expert.C．Only practising a lot was not enough to be an expert.D．Ten thousand hours will create greatness for sure.38．What can be the best title for the text?A．A New Scientific DiscoveryB．Does Practice Really Make Perfect?C．Advantages and Disadvantages of PracticeD．The More You Practise, The More Success You Will Get39．Finish the structure according to the passage.A．①1,000 hours; ①time; ①Suggestions; ①ReasonsB．①1,000 hours; ①quality; ①Reasons; ①SuggestionsC．①10,000 hours; ①quality; ①Suggestions; ①ReasonsD．①10,000 hours; ①quality; ①Reasons; ①Suggestions三、补全对话阅读下面对话，从7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成此对话。
