冀教版九年级英语阅读理解试题(含答案详解)My husband Shane and I were hanging out on the street one evening. I was talking but he was looking over at someone.He walked over to a young girl who was crying. As he talked to her, I could see from his body language that he was trying to calm (使平静) her down. When I joined them, I realized that she had been homeless for some time. She told Shane that all she wanted was to go to her sister’s house in another city.Some people would have handed her some money, wished her lunch or maybe allowed her to make a call. Shane did much more. He said, “Kelly, I can’t leave her here like this. Sometimes people need someone not only to help them but to believe they’re telling the truth.”I was a bit cold, so we had an idea to take her home. When I asked her if she’d like to go home with us, she thanked me about a million times with tears in her eyes.We went home and I gave her some clean clothes to wear and told her she could use the shower. We ate something. Finally, she told us her story.In the morning, she was finally able to get a hold of her sister, so she had a place to go to. Shane drove her to the bus station and bought her a ticket.Sometimes what people need is not just money, but people who will trust, listen to and understand them.1 Kelly knew Shane was making the girl be quiet because she .A．heard what they said B．saw his body language C．asked Shane what he said D．was doing the same thing2.

My mum was proud of herself as she got it for a good price. The night before Thanksgiving, Mum got the turkey out of the fridge. Early the next morning, my sister and I helped her put some butter and salt on the turkey, and then Mum put it in the oven. It looked like it would be delicious. My sister and I were excited.But soon, we noticed something was wrong. The oven was not heating up. Dad checked it closely. Then he said in a low voice. “ It'sbroken!”Mum’s heart nearly stopped. She didn't want her dinner to be a failure. We didn't know what to do. How were we going to feed everyone without the turkey? Mum looked worried.Finally, Dad had an idea, and we all agreed with his suggestion to order pizza instead. After all, Thanksgiving is about giving thanks and spending time with your family. If we did not have turkey, it was different but there was nothing awful about it.That evening, we shared a delicious pizza .We had a great time, talking, eating and playing games, Thanksgiving without turkey can still be fun!(选自北师大版八年级下册)2 I love autumn!Hello Jenny,I love fall!

So to help save the planet and save money, our family has decided torecycle everything. We collect used things, such as paper and bottles, and put them into different bins. After they are treated in the recycling place they can be used again. This will help reduce a lot of waste. Were also going to grow our own vegetables and we already keep hens. Soon, we can eat our own eggs for breakfast.In a year, a family like ours uses about 4,800 kwh for watching television, taking showers, using the dishwasher and the washing machine, and more. This is a lot. To produce this much energy, a lot of pollution is created. This pollution can cause health problems and global warming.Because of all this, we decided to do something to save electricity. We watch less TV and use low energy light bulbs now. We stopped using the dishwasher. Mum also tries to save energy while cooking.What's more, we try to use our car less to cut down on air pollution.

They found that classrooms were quieter when children took off their shoes. It provided a quieter environment where pupils were more willing to focus on study than those with shoes on.Children are much more willing to sit on the floor and relax if they have no shoes on, "said Professor Stephen. Heppel, a lead researcher.The last place a child would sit to read is an upright chair. And we've found that 95%o of them really don't read on a chair at home, " Heppel added. " When they go on holidays, they read lying down.Professor Heppel hopes to bring the shoeless policy to all U. K. schools. He says relaxing conditions at school make children feel as if they're at home. He believes all the teachers will be glad to adopt the habit .《英语画刊》初三九年级第四单元11 What Could Be Wrong?Dear SueThere is a problem between me and my good friend.
