Some colors can make people feel relaxed, and some colors can make people feel nervous. Now, this kind of knowledge is being used in many places. For example, school walls are always painted green because green makes students feel relaxed. It is also good for the students' eyes. Some books are also green or light blue for the same reason. Restaurant owners not only have to know how to make food, but also have to know how to make money. Here are some things they've learned from scientific studies. The color red makes people hungry. Many fast food restaurants have red furniture or walls. Soft colors like pink and light blue make people feel relaxed, so they spend more time eating. Loud music may be nice at first, but it soon makes people want to leave. Hard seats also make customers want to eat quickly and leave.

He was a geologist and loved to go on long walks to find stones to add to his collection at the university. More often than not, we followed him.One day, we left early and this time, our uncle gave us two backpacks. "You can help me carry the samples（样本）," he explained.Sure, why not? The whole day, we walked around the countryside, and every now and then, our uncle put stones in our bags. We were a bit surprised that sometimes he also took some stones out from our bags, but thought he had just found better samples.We reached the house in the late afternoon. The backpacks were so heavy that we were really tired out when we put them on the ground. Yet our uncle's backpack was half-empty."Why did you give us so many stones?" we asked. "I didn't. You did, "he said, waiting for a while before continuing." You did not know it, but I made you go through a little attitude（态度） test today.""What do you mean an attitude test?" we wanted to know."It is something someone once did to me. You see, I listened to every word you said. And whenever you complained（抱怨） about anyone or anything, I added a stone to your bags. And whenever you talked about something in an attitude of positive thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks." We did. They were full. "I hope you remember this little attitude test. You see, your negative（负面的） thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in a backpack. The more negative thoughts you have, the heavier your mind is. So look at those bags and start paying attention to what you say and how you say things."This little lesson was one of the most important I ever had.

Why go to a store? Buy it on the Internet! Need it now? Why wait? Ask to receive it the next day! Each day, more and more people try on-line shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.People are surprised to hear this." They think, I don't need to drive, and the business doesn't need to build a store, so there will be less pollution," says Nuria Prost, an environmental scientist. "But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution."In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by33percent between 1986 and 1997."Online shopping could have similarly harmful results," says Nevil Cohen, a researcher of environmental science. Part of the problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy pro ducts such as televisions, computers, chairs and tables. These products need to be packed in lots of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask to receive them the next day, online businesses often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more oil than cars and produce more carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）. When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane.Online product returns are also a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes for free if they are wrong size. This doubles the packing materials and number of airline trips required to sell one pair of shoes."If people want to protect the environment, they need to think before they shop," says Prost. "People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?" Online stores can also ask customers to pay money for returns. This may make people shop more carefully." Online shopping is fast and easy, "says Prost," but we can't forget the harmful result it has caused to the environment."（1）The passage begins with several questions to .A. introduce the main topicB. describe online shoppingC. show the writer's opinionD. list advantages of shopping（2）What is the passage mainly about?A. The Internet is not good to the environment.B. Online shopping causes more air pollution.C. Online shopping is bad for the environment.D. Stop online shopping to protect the environment.（3）Which of the following is to show that online shopping is wasteful?A. Large products need more packing materials.B. Paper use increased by 33 percent about ten years.C. Businesses need to build a store to sell the products.D. Online shopping costs less than shopping in a store.（4）What is probably the best title of the passage?A. A Good Deal to MakeB. A Different Lifestyle to KeepC. A Cleaner Way to ShopD. A New Business to Start（5）Which of the following shows the structure（结构）of the passage?（P=Paragraph）A.B.C.D.7．阅读理解Bradford City MattersWelcome to the winter edition（版） of City Matters."Don't Drop It; Stop It!"Put rubbish in your wheelie bin（有轮大垃圾筒）.You must put your rubbish in your wheelie bin to keep your environment clean.

We see it any place we go and, in fact, almost all of us carry some piece of technology with us every time we leave the house. What I always forget, though, is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others.There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices （设备）lying around in it. Whenever I am at home, I am almost always using at least one electronic device. If you walked into my living room on any given day, you would find that, first, I have the television on. At the same time, I usually have my laptop resting on my knee, or I will be using my mobile phone. Even when I'm not at home I am always using my phone, and at work or in cafés, I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on my laptop.I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much better spent if I were to take up a little online volunteering.The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world. From using your language skills to do translations, to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work, there is so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world. The United Nations, in fact, has a huge page with "Volunteers Recruited" on its website.This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff members. Many organizations only require you to work an hour a week﹣some even less. And the support provided by online volunteers can really help make a difference to those in need.（1）From Paragraph 2, we can know that the writer .A. is a computer engineerB. works in a caféC. uses technology a lotD. likes modern music（2）The underlined word" Recruited" in Paragraph 4 means" ".A. OrderedB. VisitedC. WantedD. Warned （3）In the writer's opinion, people should spend more time with technology.A. working on computer programsB. keeping the Internet safeC. inventing electronic productsD. helping people in need（4）What can be the best title for the passage？A. Online VolunteeringB. Internet OrganizationsC. Website DesignD. Online Translation9．阅读理解Public holidays in the United StatesDates Official Names RemarksJanuary 1New Year'sDay It celebrates the beginning of the year.

My mother was one of those people.My father died when I was one year-old. While I was growing up, we led a very hard life, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Bach night, she seated me on her lap and, spoke the words that would change my life," Kemmons, you are sure to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it."At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said that I would never walk again. Every might my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me whatever those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I walked on my own to school!When the Great Depression broke out, my mother lost her job. Then I left school to support the two of us. At that moment I decided never to be poor again.Over the years, I experienced a lot of business success. But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was very angry, that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for an ordinary American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel （汽车旅馆） for families that would never charge extra money for children. Many people did not believe me at that time.Not surprisingly, mom was my strongest supporter. As in any business, I experienced a lot of difficulties. But with my mom's words in my heart, I never doubted I would succeed. Fifteen years later, I had the largest hotel system in the world- Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $I billion a year.You may not have started out life in the best situations. But if you find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.（1）What Kemmons's mom often told him during his childhood was .A. boringB. tiringC. encouragingD. interesting（2）What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself?A. His mom's support.B. His wife's suggestion.C. The poor condition of his family.D. His terrible experience in the hotel.（3）Which of the following best describes Kemmons's mother?A. Serious and hard- working.B. Loving and supportive.C. Strict and humorous.D. Careful and strong-willed.（4）What led to Kemmons's success according to the passage? Why?（请用约40词回答）. 11．阅读理解Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap （代沟）.Don't argue （争辩） with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!（1）According to the passage who have a communication problem?A. parents and other peopleB. only school kids and their parentsC. teachers and their studentsD. parents and children of all ages（2）How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap?A. 5.B. 4.C. 3.D. 2.（3）The underlined word "bridge" in the passage means "___________".A. 建立B. 消除C. 通过D. 到达（4）If the values of your parents are different from those of yours, you'd better ___________.A. argue with themB. keep away from themC. agree with them all the timeD. tell your parents what you care about（5）The best title for the passage is ___________.A. How to bridge the generation gapB. How to deal with family problemsC. How to be good parentsD. How to be a good child12．阅读理解The word, "photography", was first used in 1839. It comes from the Greek words that mean "to write with light". But photography could only give people static pictures. So scientists were trying hard to find ways to make pictures that can move. They made lots of experiments, but failed again and again. It was Eadweard Muybridge who finally succeeded. He was the first photographer to try this successfully. But how did he make it? It was an interesting story.Back in 1872, people didn't know exactly（确切地）whether all four of a horse's hooves （蹄）left the ground at the same time when it was running. A gentleman called Leland Stanford made a bet with his friend about it. Most people believed that a horse always had one hoof on the ground, or it would fall over. But Stanford didn't think so.At that time, it was hard to know who could win the bet, because a horse's legs move so fast that it is impossible to tell just by looking. So they needed a way to record the movement of a running horse. Then Stanford offered $ 25,000 to the famous photographer, Muybridge, to help find the answer. In the beginning, Muybridge failed to get clear images, but he didn't give up. He continued to improve his cameras. In 1878, after many experiments, he managed to get a sequence（连续） of 12 photos. One of them clearly showed that all four of the horse's hooves were off the ground at the same time. And when the photos moved fast, people could see a horse running.Though Edison is usually considered as the person who created the first movie in 1889, it was the work of Eadweard Muybridge and the bet that led to Edison's invention.（1）The underlined word "static" in Paragraph 1 most probably means .A. prettyB. darkC. movingD. still（2）What did Leland Stanford make a bet with his friend about?A. Whose horse ran faster.B. Whether a horse would fall over while running.C. Whether it was possible for scientists to make moving pictures.D. Whether a horse's hooves all left the ground at the same time while running.（3）Muybridge finally found the exact answer to the bet in .A. 1839B. 1872C. 1878D. 1889（4）The passage mainly tells us .A. that Thomas Edison created the first movieB. that Eadweard Muybridge created the first static picturesC. how photography helped people know more about animalsD. how Eadweard Muybridge got pictures of motion（移动） successfully13．阅读理解Bill: My favourite book is The Chronicles of Narnia : The Lion, the Witch（女巫）and the Wardrobe（魔衣柜） by C.S, Lewis. It's about four children who find a magical（神奇的）land inside a wardrobe.

One way to get rid of the polluted car is to design a car that does not pollute.That's what several of the large car factories have been trying to do.But to build a clean car is easier said than done.Progress in this field has been slow.Another way is to take the place of the car engine（发动机）by something else.Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars.Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.To prevent the world from being polluted by car,we'll have to make some changes.Americans，for example,have to cut down on the number of their total cars.They are encouraged to travel and to go to work by bicycle.Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean.But this change doesn't come easily—a large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down.Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.Althoughcars have led us to a better life,they have also brought us new problems.（1）Some large car factories in the US are trying to build a new kind of car which_______.A.is clean in itselfB.is used to clean streetsC.is easier to makeD.does not pollute the air（2）If the number of cars cuts down,the most serious problem to American workers is to_______.A.have no work to doB.improve their environmentC.go to work by bikeD.make their factories richer（3）The writer wants to tell us that_______.A.riding a bike is the only way outB.the number of cars must be cut downC.people wouldn't live without carsD.cars bring us not only a better life but also serious problems（4）Which fact does the passage provide？A.About one sixth of American workers are working in car factories.B.The best way to get rid of air pollution is to change the car engine by something else.C.It isn't easy to change the way of life in the US.D.In the US bikes will surely take the place of cars in the future.（5）Which is the best title（标题）for the passage?A.A New Way to Get Rid of Polluted AirB.Cars and Polluted AirC.Many Serious Problems in the USD.Changes in Car Production2.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

九年级英语下册阅读理解10篇【一】If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs. Maybe you feel proud of yourselves? But what do other people think about your generation(代)?Some adults think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phones so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends and family.Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life on their own. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents”. They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and after-school activities such as dancing , drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them，today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. More young people volunteer to help their neighborhoods. There are also brave young people such as MalalaYousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights of going to school in poor areas.So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud.1.Which of the following is an oh-oh?2. A girl who is good-looking.3. B. A girl who is smart.4. C. A boy who was born in 2004.5.The oh-ohs are thought as the "face-down generation” because they___________.6. A. use their phones too much7. B. need to study hard in school8. C. are more creative than their parents9.What does the underline word “spoilt” mean in the third paragraph?A. 独立的B. 溺爱的C. 顺从的4. What do "helicopter parents” do for their children?A. They help their children to face all the challenges.B. They keep their children away from after-school activities.C. They guide and plan everything for them.5.What does the passage tell us?A. Young people should be better educated.B. The neighborhoods should care about teenagers.C. The oh-ohs should be hopeful about the future.【二】Penguins always live close to ocean waters since they spend three quarters of their lifetime there. They come onto land only to lay eggs and look after their chicks. Each spring, the penguins will return to the same place to lay their eggs.The largest penguins stand to 1.1 m tall and can weigh more than 41 kg. The penguin’s body is good for swimming. So they are the birds who can’t fly, but are fantastic swimmers. They have great eyesight which helps them catch fish in the darkness of the ocean. Besides, some penguins sleep standing up.How do penguins live in such cold ocean waters?They have special glands (腺).Penguins drink salty seawater and eat food full of salt. Most animals (including humans) would become ill after eating so much salt. But penguins have special glands (腺) which are above their eyes. These glands can put salt out of their insides and send it through their nose. All they have to do is to sneeze or shake their heads, and salty water will be taken out. They sometimes look like they have runny noses. They wear the great winter coat.Each penguin feather (皮毛) keeps the birds warm and dry in more than one way. The part at the bottom holds in body heat, while the part at the top prevents the water from touching them.They have strong feet.Since penguins can’t fly, they depend on their pink feet to get them to places. Their feet have nails (指甲) that help the birds in climbing the rock where they often build their nests with rocks and stones to lay their eggs. The birds also use their nails to push themselves forward on snow and ice. Along with their small wings, they use their feet to move themselves when they are swimming in cold waters.1.Penguins come onto land to lay their eggs ________.A. in springB. in summerC. in autumn2.

It takes penguins half of their lifetime to live in the water.B. Penguins’ feather can prevent the water from touching them.C. Penguins have runny noses because they are ill.5.What is the main idea of this passage?A. The knowledge about penguins.B. The place where penguins live.C. The ways that penguins keep warm.【三】After touring the Mogao Grottoes(莫高窟) yesterday, we got up early this morning and headed outto the Mingsha Sand Dunes(沙丘). We were very surprised when we saw them in front of us through the car window — they towered like mountains! Later, I read in my guidebook that some of the dunes are up to 250 meters in height. Amazing!The name “Mingsha” means “singing sand,” because when the wind blows over the sand it sounds like a musical instrument being played. We didn’t hear anything that sounded like a musical instrument while we were there, however. What we did hear were the sounds of camels right inside the gates — there were hundreds of them all sitting there with their handlers. We decided to take a camel ride, and were soon glad we did, as it was the most wonderful experience of our lives.The camels were calm and gentle(温和的) and the ride was actually quite comfortable. With their wide feet, they easily climbed up a sandy dune. At the top of the dune we saw mile upon mile of dunes stretch(绵延) out before us.We stopped at one large dune with wooden steps on it, and we went sledding(滑雪橇). It reminded me of when I was a kid sledding in the snow, but this was down a hill of warm sand. It was so fun that we tried it over and over again, until we were too tired to walk up the dune.Finally, hot and tired, we decided to leave the dunes so that we could eat some cold spicy(香辣的) noodles. It was a perfect ending to a day we’ll never forget.1. They went to the Mingsha Sand Dunes _______.A. by carB. on footC. by bus2.

B. the Mingsha Dunes is a right place to ride camels and go sledding17. C. they’ll never forget the day because it’s hot and they were tired【四】It’s a breathtaking picture. The sun, the moon and other planets (without Earth) of our solar system(太阳系) stand side by side as a loving family.Taken by Wang Zhipu, a 17-year-old Chinese boy, it won the top prize in the Young Competition category(组别) at the 2021 Astronomy Photographer of the Year, the world’s biggest astrophotography(天文摄影) competition.Wang loved stargazing when he was a little kid. In Grade 8, he got his first telescope(文望远镜). That was when he became a die-hard fan of astrophotography. “Astrophotography needs lots of time and effort. You may need to take hundreds or even thousands of photos, then edit(编辑) them to make one picture,” said Wang.In 2019, Wang started to take pictures of Saturn(土星) and Jupiter(木星). He got up early in the morning to get the best shots. In 2020, he got pictures of all the planets in the solar system.“I tried three times to photograph Mercury(水星). The first two tries were not satisfactory because they were not clear enough,” said Wang. The last time he took more than 10,000 pictures of Mercury and chose thousands of them to edit.“I couldn’t believe that I could win the top prize,” Wang said. “That was certainly a great honor and it encourages me to take better pictures in the future!”1. What does the word “it” refer to(指代) in Paragraph 2?A. The breathtaking picture.B. Our solar system.C. A loving family.2. What does the underlined word “stargazing” mean in Chinese?A. 收集星星B. 仰望星空C. 拍摄星球3.

He took the picture when the sun, the moon and other planets stood side by side.B. He took more than 10,000 pictures of Mercury and chose thousands of them to edit.C. He believed that he could win the top prize because he had tried three times.5. What is the best title of the passage?A. A breathtaking pictureB. A die-hard fan of telescopeC. A Chinese boy won the top prize【五】When Wang Haiyan was young, her favorite toys weren’t Barbie dolls. Instead, she started learning to make shadow puppets(皮影) from her father at 13. Now 43, Wang has spent 30 years practicing and spreading the art.Shadow puppetry is a form of theater that uses puppets made from leather(皮) or paper, accompanied(伴随) by music and singing. Invented during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC— AD 24), it tells us about folklore(民间传说) and historical stories,passing down culture and customs over thousands of years.Shadow puppetry is all about creating the puppets and performing with them. Wang’s hometown of Hua County, Shaanxi, is known as the birthplace of the folk art.Puppet-makers must follow 24 steps to make the puppets, including washing the leather, carving(雕刻), and painting, according to Wang. Carving is the most difficult part. “We have a special carving technique — moving the leather under the knife,” Wang said. “You have to hold the knife still in your right hand and only move the leather in your left hand.”It took Wang three years to master this skill. She used a brick(砖块) to strengthen her left hand while practicing. It takes about 3,000 carves to make a shadow puppet. “The complicated(复杂的) steps make it hard to hand down the folk art,” she said.But Wang has found a way to do so. In 2016, she made shadow puppets based on the cartoon series HuyaoXiaohongniang(《狐妖小红娘》) and gave a livestreaming performance. She used colors like blue and purple that are hardly seen in shadow puppetry and added more sticks to the puppets to make the performance livelier.1. What does the second paragraph explain?A. Why Wang is interested in shadow puppetry.B. When shadow puppetry became popular.C. What shadow puppetry is.2. Which is the hardest step in making a puppet?A. Washing the leather.B. Carving the leather.C. Painting the leather.3. According to Wang, why is it difficult to spread shadow puppetry?A. It’s difficult to learn to make puppets.B. This art is only known in a small county.C. It requires people of great strength to perform the art.4. What is the last paragraph about?A. The difficulties in performing this art online.B. Improvements in making puppets.C. The efforts Wang made to spread this art.5. What do we know from the passage?A. Wang spent 13 years learning to carve puppets.B. Wang enjoys getting young people interested in this art.C. Wang has set up a company to make and sell shadow puppets.【六】The first people to go into space only went for short trips to see what it was like. Today, astronauts can spend weeks or even months living and working in space. We all know that living in space is very different from living on earth. So, what’s astronauts’ daily life like?Brushing teethAstronauts brush their teeth in the normal way as we do, but there is a difference! On the International Space Station (ISS), there is no weight pulling things downwards like on earth, so everything including the water and toothpaste floats(漂浮) around. The toothpaste(牙膏) which astronauts use can be swallowed after they brush their teeth and the mouth is then cleaned with a wet paper napkin. The astronauts have to do it with their mouths as closed as possible to prevent the toothpaste floating out!EatingNutrition(营养) plays an important role in keeping the health of the astronauts. However, not all the food can be taken to space. For example, American astronaut John Young took a sandwich into space in 1965. If its tiny pieces had got into space plane’s electronics, it could have caused considerable malfunction(故障). So, astronauts’ food is specially prepared. The food trays(盘子) are prepared on the ground for each astronaut and sent to the ISS before he/she arrives. Red food trays contain foods from Russia and blue ones contain food from American/European countries.ExerciseThe absence of weight leads to health problems such as bone and muscle loss. So, on the ISS there is a running machine and a special exercise bicycle. Astronauts have to do at least 2 hours of exercise every day to keep in good shape. There are also some pulleys(滑轮) and ropes. All these help them maintain the condition of their bones and muscles.1. Astronauts brush their teeth differently than we do mainly because _______.A. water is not enoughB. everything in space becomes lighterC. there is no weight in space2. The underlined word “swallow” probably means “_______”.A. 蒸发B. 吞咽C. 扔弃3. Why does the author mention the case of John Young in Paragraph 3?A. To describe the use of different food trays.B. To explain why not all food can go into space.C. To introduce how astronauts’ food is prepared.4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the last paragraph?A. Space environment has an influence on astronauts’ health.B. Astronauts exercise no more than two hours a day.C. The space station has no room for astronauts to exercise.5. What’s the best tittle of the passage?A. The problems in space.B. The life in space.C. The challenges in space.【七】Classic books never go out of fashion. The Outsider first came out in 1967. But even though the book is old, it is still worth reading. The book is written by US writer S.E. Hinton.The book tells the story of a 14-year-old boy called Ponyboy Curtis. He struggles with (挣扎于)right and wrong in a society where he believes he is an outsider. The story took place in Oklahoma, US, in 1965.In the book, the children are divided into two groups. One includes Curtis and Greasers, which are mostly made up of poor kids. They have longer hair and often smoke at a young age. The other group is called the Socs, which is made up of rich children. They wear expensive clothes and drive high-tech cars. Those two groups do not get along well. The book only shows us two weeks of the boy’s life. But unexpected things happen and change the boy’s life forever.I was touched by the friendship among the boys. When any of them had a problem, the others would help. Although they are not well-educated, they are kind and brave. For example, when Johnny was hurt and in hospital, his friends visited him almost every day. They brought him food and told him interesting stories. I always dreamed of having kind and strong friendships like this.This book shows the beautiful personalities in those ordinary people. I advise that teenagers read this book and I hope they can enjoy it.1. What does the writer mean by saying “Classic books never go out of fashion.”?A. Books about fashion are always popular.B. Good books are worth reading all the time.C. Students should read some fashionable books.2. The story in the book took place ________.A. in 1965B. in 1967C. more than 14 years ago3. The writer divided the boys into two groups according to ________.A. their families’ wealthB. their looksC. their studies4. The writer always dreamed about ________ in his life.A. healthB. knowledgeC. friendship5. The writer wrote this text to ________.A. tell us his early lifeB.introduce a book to teenagersC. explain what classic is【八】Dogs have always been considered people’s best friends. However, as miniature pigs (小型猪) are becoming popular, will they win over people’s love?Since little is known about pigs’ social skills and their communicative behavior towards humans, experts decided to make a study to compare dogs and pigs. This experiment required solving a problem. Each animal was presented at first with a problem he could solve. In this case, it was a box with food that could be easily opened. Then, they were presented with the same box, which is the unsolvable problem.What did the researchers find out? When the box in the room was empty, both the pigs and the dogs turned to people for help. However, when opening the box with food inside became a challenge, dogs turned to people earlier and for longer periods of time. Pigs, on the other hand, were faster solving the problem and turned to people less often for help.So while pigs, behavior proved to be similar to dogs towards people, pigs were more independent when they had to solve a problem. Another interesting finding is that only dogs looked up at people’s faces when they didn’t expect to receive any food at all.According to The Science Times, pigs make great pets. Similar to dogs, they are social animals that like to live in groups. Miniature pigs are also known to be highly intelligent and clean. What’s more, they get along well with cats and can live long lives of up to 20 years.Still, there’s something important to consider. Pig owners should make sure that their pet pig will receive loving care. Pigs like to play with toys and can learn tricks. They also need exercise, or they can become too obese. No matter how big or small pigs are, they are still pigs and they require special attention.It seems both dogs and pigs can make friendly and social pets. However, according to science, the bond (纽带) between dogs and humans is still the strongest.1. What can be the purpose of the study?A. To see if pigs are as smart as dogs.B. To see if pigs get used to human society.C. To see if pigs are better friends with humans than dogs.2. When pigs and dogs faced the same challenge in the study, _________.A. only pigs went to ask people for helpB. dogs needed less help from people than pigsC. pigs were better at dealing with the challenge than dogs3. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?A. Pig’s friendly behaviors.B.Reasons to keep a pet pig.C.Great abilities of pigs.4. The underlined word “obese” can be replaced by _________.A. fatB. stupidC. sleepy5. What is the best title for the passage?A. Advice on how to keep a pet pigB. Things to consider while keeping a petC. Are miniature pigs people’s new best friends?【九】Stephen CurryMy favorite basketball player is Stephen Curry.Physically, Curry looks younger than most other men. His baby face makes him look even cuter.Curry is gentle and good-tempered. Basketball matches are often so intense that there can be some conflicts(冲突) between the players. But when Curry meets conflicts, he always stays calm.At the same time, Curry is so hard-working that he practices basketball every day to improve his skills. Also, he is very determined(坚定的). He tries to be himself and never be easily influenced by others.Stephen Curry is the person I respect the most. He has inspired me a lot. I will work harder, trying to become a good person like him.Wang Kailin, 15, BeijingThe Kite RunnerMy favorite book is The Kite Runner.This story is mainly about Amir and Hasan’s friendship. Hasan is a good kite runner. When he went to catch a kite, a bad boy named Assef humiliated(羞辱) Hasan. Amir saw the bullying(欺侮), but he didn’t help Hasan because he was afraid. Later, feeling too sorry for Hasan, Amir drove away Hasan and his dad. Amir then went to America. Many years later, Amir’s uncle asked him to go back to Afghanistan and save Hasan’s son, Strabo. Later, Amir showed a great encouragement and tried his best to make up his mistakes. He went to Kabul and looked for Strabo. Finally, Amir got the salvation(拯救) of his own soul(灵魂).I was deeply moved by this story. We should try our best to run for the “kite”. The author also tells us to love peace and life.Wu Yulin, 14, GuangDong1.According to the first passage, Wang Kailin thinks Curry is _______.A. cute and good at physicsB. gentle but determinedC. bad-tempered but hard-working2.

Amir went back to Afghanistan and saved Hasan’s son.5. What’s Wu Yulin’s main purpose of writing the last Paragraph(段落)?A. To introduce a topic.B. To give examples.C. To express feelings.【十】Recently, the term “carbon neutral(碳中和)” has been used frequently at some important meetings in many countries. Many countries have put forward the goal of striving(奋斗目标) to be carbon neutral. China is expected to be carbon neutral by 2060. So, as middle school students, what can we do to protect the environment and live a low carbon life? Here are some suggestions for you.Travel in a green way. Now more Chinese people have cars of their own. It has brought us a lot of benefits but has created some serious problems as well. So we’d better do more walking, cycling and less driving. By doing so, we can save energy and reduce pollution.Cut down white pollution. We should reduce the pollution of plastic bags. When you go to the supermarket, bring your own shopping bags.Save water. Lack(缺乏) of water resources will affect the ecological environment(生态环境). So please turn off the tap after using it.Sort(分类) the rubbish. Doing garbage classification(垃圾分类) in a right way can turn waste into wealth.Plant more trees. Planting more trees means cutting down and reducing the carbon footprint(碳足迹) and spreading of greenhouse gases(气体). For example, the trees planted in China are playing an important role. A report published in Nature shows that CO2 absorption(吸收) in two new forest areas in China is more than we thought. The two areas are located in China’s southwestern and northeastern provinces. They make up over 35 percent of China’s carbon sinks(碳汇). The main natural carbon sinks are trees and other plants.Use both sides of the paper. The paper production process uses a lot of trees.Now is the time that we should take up our responsibility to protect our environment from being polluted. Let’s join our hands and take actions immediately.1.How many suggestions does the writer give in the passage to be carbon neutral?A. 5.B. 6.C. 7.2. In order to protect the environment and live a low carbon life, we can _______.①walk, cycle more and drive less ①use plastic bags while shopping①use only one side of the paper ①turn off the water after using it①do garbage classification in a right wayA. ①①①①①B. ①①①①C. ①①①3. China’s carbon sinks are mainly located in the _______.A. southeast and northeastB. southwest and northeastC. southeast and northwest4. The purpose of the passage is _______.A. to call us to cut down white pollutionB. to give advice on how to protect the environmentC. to advise us to travel in a green way5. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Live a low carbon life.B. Sort the rubbish.C. Travel in a green way.参考答案【一】CABCC【二】AACBA【三】ACBBA 【四】ABCBC【五】CBACB【六】CBBAB 【七】BAACB【八】CCBAC【九】BBBCC 【十】BCBBA第11页共11页。
