九年级英语培优能力提升练习卷四一．阅读理解A词数343 建议阅读时间7分钟A NEW semester might be the best time to make new friends, but it can be hard to get through that first conversation. That’s when small talk can help you “break the ice”. As The Huffington Post put it, there are many “ways to change small talk into a meaningful moment between two people”. Below are four useful tips. Take a look.Search for common interests.Talking about shared interests, such as sports and popular talent shows, is the easiest way to make a connection (关系) with someone. According to Susan Krauss Whitbourne, a professor of psychology (心理学) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, it’s a good way to start a conversation. “Find common interests with the people with whom you communicate by using th e right amount of information about yourself and empathy (同感),” she wrote in Psychology Today magazine.Welcome the silence.No one likes an awkward (令人尴尬的) pause (停顿) – but most silent moments between topics aren’t as long as you think they are. In fact, sometimes pauses are needed in order to continue a conversation, according to Bernardo J. Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Remember that if you say something, the other person may need time to understan d it,” he told Real Simple magazine. “Think of silence as a time of change.”Keep it positive (积极的).Conversations are just as much about an exchange (交换) of energy as an exchange of information. To make great small talk, you should keep things light, fun, and positive. You should be cheerful (开朗的), ready to offer a compliment, and able to laugh over things that aren’t that interesting. Those qualities will make the other person want to keep talking to you, according to The Huffington Post.Take it as a learning experience.Every time you meet someone new, it’s a good chance to learn something. “People from other places, including countries other than your own, can give you new points of view,” Whitbourne wrote. “You can [learn more about] other regions (地区), cultures and nations … making you a more interesting person to talk to as well.”1.What is the article mainly about?A. Topics for students to have conversations about.B. Tips on how to make friends at the start of a new semester.C. Tips on how to share your hobbies with friends.D. Tips on how to make conversation when making new friends.2. Which tip mentions what to do if the other person is talking about something you find boring?A. Search for common interests.B. Welcome the silence.C. Keep it positive.D. Take it as a learning experience.3. When there is silence between conversation topics, you should ______.A. start a new topic right awayB. end the conversation at onceC. take it as something naturalD. keep it going for as long as possible4. From the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that the author suggests ________.A. we keep an open mindB. we keep asking for informationC. we impress the other personD. we never cut in when the other person is talkingB词数360 建议阅读时间7分钟IT’S a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for only seven seconds.It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t recognize you or any of their friends – every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.υBut don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago, the BBC reported.In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank (水缸) to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.Researchers used computer software to monitor (监控) the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food.ϖThis suggested that they could remember their past experiences.In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory.An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively (有攻击性地) in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild.“If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back t o。

Does any one want to join this meaningful event？” asked Miss Mak. Tom was interested in raising money for homeless children, but he was not brave enough to talk to the strangers, so he kept quiet in his seat.“Tom, you haven’t sold flags before，” said Miss Mak suddenly. “Would you like to have a try？”Tom was hesitant, but he finally nodded.On the flag day, Tom and Angela sold flags in a busy street. “Ex­cuse me. Could y­o­u pl­ea­se buy...？” said Angela softly to the first person she met. The man smiled and put a f ive­dollar coin into Angela’s collection bag. Then she said thanks and put a flag under his shoulder. “I did it！” said Angela happily. “It’s your turn now.”Feeling nervous, Tom began to shake. Soon, he saw a young lady walking towards him. The lady was smiling and holding a few coins in her hand. She asked, “Are you selling flags for Fund for the Homeless Children？”Tom’s face became red and said yes. Then the lady made the donation and Tom gave her a flag. “You made it！” laughed Angela.In the next couple of hours, Angela and Tom sold flags quickly and bravely.

They are far better compared to traditional bookstores as they offer much broader kinds of books. Another advantage of shopping online is that you can also read the book reviews as well as readers’ reviews to get an idea whether the book is worth buying.Online bookstores offer great discounts(折扣) to regular customers which is a big attraction for book lovers.For book lovers, the most important thing is to get books on time. Therefore, you need to find a reliable(可靠的) online bookstore that will be able to provide fast deliveries(送货).Here are some tips to use when choosing an online bookstore. Some online bookstores are popular for fiction books; some are for non-fiction books or novels, etc. Understanding their specialization will help you get the right kind of books in time. Check whether you will be buying the books from a third-party seller or directly from the website. Although the website could be reputable(声誉好的)，third-party sellers advertised on their site may not have a good reputation. Never jump at stores that offer super cheap prices, as books sold at such low prices could be in very bad condition.Most of the popular online bookstores offer useful tools. One tool is a wish list tool on its website. You can update(更新) the list of books you wish to buy in the future. The bookstore will know what you want and will e-mail you immediately when the book of your choice is available。

I was looking for a public经典教育telephone to tell my American friend Danny that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.“Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”“Well, that’s nice,” he said, “Are you getting married? But aren’t you too young?”“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied, “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell him I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there is a phone box?”“Oh,” he said, “there i s a phone downstairs.”When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.“Don’t worry,” he said to me, “I had so many difficulties at first.

He will say“Thank you” to a student if he has just answered the question. At 8 ,the husband will thanks his wife if she brings him a cup of tea.

ABetty│June 30，2024Hey! What do you think are the biggest changes in your life in the first half of 2024? Feel free to comment(评论) below!Grace│June 30，2024I used to feel lonely, especially when I had a serious illness. I missed my friends and my family very much. However, things are different now because I have a newborn sister this year! She is so lovely. I really enjoy helping my mom take care of her.Alfred│July 1，2024I took up cooking this March. It's not as boring as I used to think. And it's not difficult to learn. Now I can make a good meal for my family in one hour all by myself.Jane│July 4，2024I used to stay at home most of the time, but now I love traveling. I've taken lots of short trips with my parents near our home. Camping in the mountains is my favorite.James│July 7，2024I get better sleep this year. I used to go to bed at 12: 00 am, and sometimes at 1: 00 am after finishing my homework. Now I fall asleep before 10: 00 pm. And I have time to read a few pages of my favorite novel before that. What an enjoyable thing it is!1. What did Betty want to know?A. People's wishes for the new year.B. People's changes in the first half of 2024.C. People's living habits.D. People's favorite jobs.2. What can Alfred do this year?A. Get enough sleep.B. Visit his friends more.C. Make delicious dishes.D. Take a lot of short trips.3. What can we learn from the text?A. Grace hates looking after her baby sister.B. Alfred found cooking interesting at first.C. Jane often travels abroad with her parents.D. James loves reading before going to bed.4. Where may we read this text?A. On the Internet.B. In a storybook.C. In a dictionary.D. In a sports magazine.BAs a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains(窗帘)seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the dark would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the “enemy(敌人)” would not discover me.Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school.Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get on the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places.On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.One of the processes(过程)of growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears.Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.5. The writer had ____ kind(s) of fears when she was a child.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. four6. What would scare the writer at night?A. Streetlights and car lights.B. Strange sights and sounds.C. Walking up and down the room.D. Wild animals and enemies.7. What would the writer do when she went to some other places?A. She would follow others closely.B. She would take a bus by herself.C. She would walk away without others.D. She would make sure that she wouldn't take a wrong bus.8. Which of the following would be possibly TRUE when the writer was a child?A. She always got poor grades.B. She was always the leader of others.C. She thought being popular among people was important.D. She was hated by others because she always walked ahead of others.CMrs. Li is over 80 years old. She has lived in Beijing all her life. A reporter interviewed her yesterday. The following are their questions and answers.Q What was your life like in the past?A My family lived in a tiny house. My father was a postman, and he often worked for twelve hours a day outside in the winter cold or in the summer heat. My mom was a farm girl before she met my father. She was a kind and loving mother. She didn't go out to work. There were five children in my family, and looking after us was more than a full-time job.The food we ate was simple. We could only eat meat once or twice a year. Iwasn't sent to school because my family couldn't afford(负担得起) the tuition(学费).Q How has life changed?A Families have got smaller than they were in the past. The role of women has changed too. My daughter is really lucky. She has a good education. I'm happy that she can go to work even after getting married, but sometimes I feel lonely because she can't come to see me often.Transport and travel are easier today. When I was young, I went everywhere on foot. Now you can take the bus, drive the car or ride the shared bikes. What I don't like is that there's so much more traffic. It's so difficult to cross the road. And, of course, we have televisions today and I really enjoy watching TV. But I hate some of the shows because they are too noisy for me.Generally speaking, I think life is better today. We eat better and we live longer.9. What do we know about Mrs. Li's parents?A. They often ate delicious food.B. They both worked hard for the family.C. They had no sons.D. They lived on a farm.10. What does Mrs. Li think of her daughter?A. Happy.B. Lonely.C. Lucky.D. Rich.11. When Mrs. Li was young, she usually ____if she wanted to go somewhere.A. walkedB. drove the carC. rode the bikeD. took the bus12. Which one is TRUE according to the passage?A. Mrs. Li's daughter often visits her.B. Mrs. Li prefers the life in the past.C. All the TV shows are enjoyable for Mrs. Li.D. Mrs. Li can't cross the road easily now.D①Aaron Whiteside, born in the 1980s, believes that life was better in times gone by. He thinks that people were polite and nice in the 1930s but they are greedy(贪婪的) in modern society. But his friend thinks that living conditions have improved a lot and humans are still kind today. So what do you think?②Just like Aaron Whiteside, nostalgic people think people lived more happily with less in the past. In the old days, people sat around a table together, sharing food and conversations. But now most UK families spend about 20 minutes on supper before hurrying off. Families know less about each other's lives. There is much more pressure on making a living.③Besides, people bought fewer things in the past, which was better for the environment and made people more creative. For example, bands from the 1960s, such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, were much better than today's. Creative expression is now being lost to technology and greed.④__▲__. In their opinion, both men and women are able to live how they like now. However, women's position was quite low in the past because they were expected to stay at home, looking after babies and doing a lot of housework. Most women led a boring life at that time.⑤What's more, it is agreed that children get better education today. That's because there are more schools and colleges in modern society. Thanks to technology development, we live in a shared world where we share information, services and culture, and that teaches us new perspectives (视角).13. Aaron Whiteside and his friend are mentioned as examples to ____.A. explain the importance of being polite and niceB. compare people's lives in different placesC. give useful suggestions on keeping friendshipD. show different opinions on life now and then14. The underlined word “nostalgic” in Para. 2 probably means “people who ____”.A. long for moneyB. miss the pastC. care about healthD. refuse to change15. Which of the following can be put in the__▲__ in Para. 4?A. So, many people prefer to live in the pastB. Additionally, life in the past was simpleC. However, others hold that life now is fairerD. Actually, people now are much more creative16. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?第二节阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。

一、选择题1．I’m ________ of my father and he is ________ of me.A．the pride; proud B．the proud; the prideC．the proud; pride D．pride; the proud A解析：A【详解】句意：我是我父亲的骄傲，他也为我感到骄傲。

考查形容词短语和名词短语。

the pride of…名词短语，……的骄傲；be proud of…形容词短语，为……感到骄傲。

sb. be the pride of sb.=sb. be proud of sb.，所以第一空使用名词pride，be the pride of my father是我父亲的骄傲；第二空使用形容词，be proud of me为我感到骄傲。

故选A。

2．—You’d better______ smoking. It’s bad for your health.A．put up B．give upC．make up D．stay up B解析：B【详解】句意：-你最好放弃吸烟，它对你的健康是有害的。

put up张贴；搭建；give up放弃；make up编造，弥补；stay up熬夜。

根据句意It’s bad for your health可知，应该“放弃吸烟”，故应选B。

3．He will come on time it rains heavily.A．so that B．even though C．and D．because B解析：B【详解】句意：即使下大雨他也会按时来。

so that以至于…；为的是…；even though即使；and和，而且；because因为。

根据句意可知，空前后是转折的关系，故这里用even though引导让步状语从句，选B。

4．---Mike is ___________ that everyone like listening to the jokes he tells.---Yes. He can always bring us much fun.A．a such humorous man B．so a humorous manC．such a humorous man D．a so humorous man C解析：C【详解】句意：---迈克是这么一位幽默的人，大家都喜欢听他讲的笑话。

They sold their second-hand books, put on talent shows and asked for donations (捐赠), even going door-to-door for them. One donated more than half the cost!After two years of hard work, the group paid for the solar panels, which now provide one-fourth of the school's electricity needs—saving the neighborhood thousands of dollars. “My favorite part about this project was that one person could start something small and then the project could grow and have a big influence on the community，” Claire said. “There are always going to be hard parts. When there's achallenge (挑战) presented to you, you can learn from it and use it as a chance to overcome it. ”70.
