He handed me the rod(鱼杆)and taught me how to throw my line into the water.The sun warmed us. We sat and talked. “I remember when I coul d sit here and watch the fish swimming in the water,” he said. “Sometimes, they’d jump out and land beside me. I didn’t even need a fishing rod then.”“We have to be patient,” he continued. “The fish may come or may not. It doesn’t matter. We are out in the sun. It’s a beautiful day. If it rained, we couldn’t be here. We’re lucky to have the warmth of the sun.”He leaned(倚靠)back against a tree. “Yes, it’s a great day,” he said.I watched our bobbers(浮子). No fish pull ed them under the water that day. It didn’t matter. I was with Grandpa. I felt grown up. Just being with him was special.He was well liked by everyone. He had worked hard all his life for what little he had, but he could still find time to laugh. I wanted to be like him when I grew up.He was an amazing man.

Without snakes, perhaps we would find mice everywhere, Most of us, however, woul d rather see a mouse than a snake, The poison argument( 毒性的争论)is a strong one, Some snakes are poisonous, and this causes people’s death , However, the poisonous snakes are only a small number. We can’t say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones. And what d o we do with the people who really like snakes? They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them. These people learn about them, find them out, and watch them carefully, Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded, They are abl e to put asid e differences and welcome the snake as a friend.Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes d o something good in the circle of life.They would prefer to be left alone, and that is what we should d o, If you’re lucky, you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime, That would be fine with most of us.15.How d oes the writer d escribe the appearance of snakes?A.Something even without legs.B.Something not popular among people.C.A person who is neutral.D.A person who cares about nothing.16.Which of the foll owing shows that most peopl e dislike snakes?A.They wel come snakes as their best friends.B.They would rather see a mouse than a snake.C.They wonder why snakes can cause great fear.D.They learn about snakes and watch them carefully.17.Although some snakes are poisonous, _______.A.they cause many people’s deathB.they control the population of miceC.they are not dangerous to peopl eD.they are only a small number18.The last paragraph seems to tell us that the writer _______.A.dislikes snakesB.has the best luckC.l oves snakesD.prefers to be l eft al oneThe Westwood Mid dl e School has d ecid ed to hol d a blood drive (献血活动), and you can help.Help with The Blood DriveThe School is holding a bl ood drive for teachers, parents, and town people.

This is exactly what happened with Du Haotian, a student from Shaanxi province. The potato chips Du is making are called guoba, usually made of millet rice(小米), but here Du chose col ored potatoes as the ingredients(原料).Zhenba, in the south of Shaanxi, has been trying to sell high-quality(质量)potatoes. But the sales are at a l ow l evel. Du, a stud ent of Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, together with his team, introduced col orful potatoes and mad e them into crispy, fried potato snacks. After trying again and again, it gradually turned into a popular snack at Du’sunive rsity. At the end of last year, Du’s team set up their own factory in the village to plant and produce the snacks locally. At the beginning of this year, the production line was put into use.However, whil e helping the local community, Du was under pressure to graduate. Although he was supposed to graduate in June 2020, Du offered to put off graduation for one year. Du said the production line project was still on the way and he wanted to live up to the expectations of the villagers. “A lot of my friends a nd teachers told me not to do that. But if the factory is built but does not run well, it woul d be against my original intention(初心).” Finally, Du’s teacher supported him.Recently, Du’s potato snacks took part in a college food competition. His product w as once in the first place with the support of many local villagers, which touched Du. “Rural revitalization(乡村振兴)depends on industrial revitalization. I want to make an effort with my hard work in this process.”22.What’s Du’s guoba made of?A.millet rice B.crispy corn C.sweet potatoes D.col orful potatoes23.How did Du’s team help potato sal es in Zhenba?A.They planted high-quality potatoes.

Well, some people can’t recognize this many because of colorblindness. If someone iscol orblind, that means he can’t see as many col ors as others –or, in rare cases, can’t see col ors at all.Thankfully, special glasses have already been made to help fix some types ofcol orblindness. Now, according to a recent research, scientists have brought this solution one step further. Karepov and Ellenbogen, engineers from Israel have found a way to apply this technology to contact lenses (隐形眼镜). This method is so creative because it can solve many different kinds of visual (视力的) problems.People are able to see color because of how the eye is structured. At the back of our eyes, there’re three different kinds of cells that absorb (吸收) light waves. When light waves are absorbed, the cells send a message to the brain for the image to be processed.If something is wrong with these cells, this can cause probl ems when the brain processes the image. One of the most common types of colorblindness is red-greencol orblindness. People who have this specific type of visual imperfection have difficulty telling apart the col ors red and green.“It would influence simple daily routines such as telling the col ors of traffic lights,” Karepov explained. He also stressed the importance of using this finding to create special contact lenses instead of relying on col or-correcting glasses.Whet her you prefer to wear glasses or contacts, it’s nice to know that people who are col orblind will soon be able to choose between the two, as well.31.The writer leads in the topic by _______ at the beginning of the passage.A.describing a fact B.listing a numberC.asking a question D.giving an example32.The second paragraph mainly tells us about _______ colorblindness.A.the main cause of B.the different kinds ofC.a simpl e tool to find D.a new method to fix33.The und erlined word “imperfection” in Parag raph 4 is cl osest in meaning to _______.A.experience B.weakness C.language D.examination34.The overall tone (总基调) of the passage is _______.A.personal and d oubtful B.sad but humorousC.scientific and promising D.informative but meaninglessOne of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. Peopl e d o this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to d o this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.1.” What’s the matter?” “I went to a party last night, so I…”2.”I feel so tired these days.” “I think you’d better…”3.”Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…”You can see from the above three examples that the context helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So “guessing” is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.35.This passage tells us mainly about ________.A.the importance of “guessing” in learning a foreign language.B.how to guess what one is going to talk about.C.Some examples of right guessing.D.how important it is to guess all the time.36.From the context, we can see maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 1 is ________.A.…so I didn’t have a good time.”B.…so I went to bed very late.”C.…so I felt unhappy.”D.…so I got up very early.”37.Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.A.“I think you’d better have a good rest and take good care of yourself.”B.“I think you’d better have something to drink.”C.“I think you’d better get some help from your friends.”D.“I think you’d better to be more careful.”38.From the passage we can infer that guessing is ________ in l earning a foreign language.A.the only wayB.more important in spoken English than in written English.C.more important than any other wayD.more important in written English than in spoken EnglishMr. Smith is fifty years old.

Since many foreign tourists have known little about, here is some information about it.An end and new beginningBy the time of Shuangjiang. most of the harvesting (丰收) work is already completed in northern China .Farmers are now able to enjoy a period of rest.But in the south .the harvest is still in its best time, as farmers have to take home the sweet potatoes before they are destroyed by the coming frost.Across the country, after year of farming, now it is time to pl ow the fields and prepare the soil for next year.Enjoy the flaming red mapl e leaves (枫叶)Autumn might be the most col orful season in China with the leaves turning fromgol den yell ow to red.

These imports also include solid waste, such as plastics, paper and metals. They mainly come from countries like the United States, the United Kingd om and Japan.These goods will no l onger be imported next year. China will ban(禁止) all imports of solid waste starting from Jan 1, 2021, said the Ministry of Ecol ogy and Environment(MEE).Why d oes China import this waste? In 1980, China’s economy(经济) was gradually taking off because of the reform and opening-up policy(改革开放政策). The country’s factories didn’t have enough raw materials(原材料) at that time. Therefore, China began importing solid waste. After being processed, it can be turned into materials that are used to make other products.For years, China has been the worl d’s largest importer of solid waste, with about 45 million tons arriving each year. Countries that send this waste to China pay about $25(163 yuan) to $50 per ton for recycling, China News Agency reported.Although the waste has helped develop China’s economy, it has brought more risks than benefits. Waste that can’t be used is either burned or buried(填埋). The water used to wash the waste is all owed to fl ow into nearby rivers. This has polluted the air, soil and water, posing a risk to public health, China Daily reported.China has made some efforts to ban waste since 2017. From 2017 to 2019, imports of solid waste fell by 68 percent, dropping from 42 million to 13 million tons, Xinhua reported.What about China’s waste?China can produce enough raw materials to support its economy now. However, it is also producing a rapidly-increasing amount of waste.In 2019, the government worked out a guideline for the creation of zero solid waste programs. These programs have been carried out in 11 cities and five districts(区域), including Shenzhen in Guangdong province and Weihai in Shandong province.50.After Jan 1, 2021, what will no l onger be all owed in China?A.Importing plastic products from abroad.B.Buying solid waste from abroad.C.Selling metals to other countries.D.Producing solid waste.51.What d o we know from Paragraphs 3 and 4?A.Many factories used to use solid waste to make products.B.About 45 million tons of waste are processed worl dwide each year.C.China has made a l ot of money by importing waste.D.It costs very littl e money to recycl e solid waste.52.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A.How solid waste has helped China’s devel opment.B.What we can do to protect ourselves from waste.C.What risks solid waste brought to China.D.How solid waste should be dealt with.53.According to the last paragraph, which word d escribes China’s efforts to ban waste?A.wasteful B.effective(有效的) C.chall enging D.expensiveBeijing Opera, also called Peking Opera, is our national opera. It came into being (形成) after 1790 and has a history of over 200 years. Its music and singing came from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei. The Guangxu Emperor (帝王) and Empress Dowager Cixi were also crazy about Beijing Opera and helped d evelop the art form.There are four main rol es in Beijing Opera: Sheng, Dan, Jing, Chou. Sheng is the leading male (男性) actor. For example, a Wusheng is a soldier or fighter. A Xiaosheng is a young man.A Laosheng is an old man with beard (胡子). Dan is the female (女性) role. Jing, mostly mal e,is the face painted rol e and Chou is the comedy (喜剧) actor or cl own (小丑).Beijing Opera is full of famous stories, beautiful facial paintings, wond erful gestures and fighting. Some of the stories are from history books, but most are from famous novels. The people in the stories usually can’t agree with each other. They become angry, unhappy, sad and l onely. Sometimes they are afraid and worried. Then they find a way to make peace with (与……讲和) each other. Everyone is usually happy in the end.Beijing Opera is an important part of Chinese culture. In China it used to be popular with old people while young people didn’t like it very muc h. However, more young people arebecoming interested in it nowadays.

If so, you are not alone. We all have things we want to do or achieve. These are part of our “bucket lists”. A bucket is a list of things that someone wants to experience in his or her lifetimes. These things can be big or small. Have you ever thought about what is on your bucket list?Lindsay, 15, created her bucket list when she was 14. She has given her list serious thought. “I’ve always wanted to travel into space,” she says. “I don’t really want to be an astronaut. But I do want to go to space as a tourist. I want to see the Earth from above.” Other things on her list include being on TV, seeing her favorite band in concert, learning how to speak Portuguese, and living in a foreign country. “I’ve always wanted to live in Brazil. As part of my bucket list, I want to attend Carnival in the capital of Brazil,” she says.Jose, 16, recently created a list of things he wants to achieve. It changes sometimes he adds and takes away things because he wants to keep the number of the things at seven. One thing has stayed at number one, though: he wants to visit a movie set. He would like to see the Harry Potter of The Hobbit movie sets. Other things on the list include being on TV, meeting his favorite sports star, living in a foreign country, skateboarding down a mountain, attending the World Cup, and backpacking across Europe.

But the number one thing on her list is to see her favorite band in concert. She also wants to go on a trip and to visit a movie set. Her favorite movies are the Hunger Games and Star Wars.

Many sports players have them, too. In the US, tattoos are very popular. Forty percent of Americans aged between 26 and 40 have a tattoo, and 60 percent of customers in US tattoo parlors are women. These people are often professional people like doctor, teachers and lawyers.However, tattoos are not modern. In fact, they are very old in human history. For example, archaeologists found a human in ice from 5,000 years ago. He had 57 tattoos on his back, ankles, legs, knees and feet. Tattoos were used for many different reasons. In ancient Egypt, people got tattoos because they were “beautiful”. But in ancient Rome, tattoos were negative and put on criminals and prisoners. In India, tattoos were religious.In the 16th and 17th century, European sailors arrived on the islands of Polynesia. They saw tattoos for the first time. The people on the islands had tattoos on their shoulders, chests, backs and legs. Often the tattoos were of animals or natural features like a river or a mountain. The European sailors liked them and made their own tattoos, so the idea traveled to Europe. Tattoos in Polynesia are still important today. They show information about a person’s history, their island or their job.So is there a connection between traditional tattoos and fashionable tattoos? And can you call tattoos a fashion? Chris Rainier is an expert in tattoos and his book Ancient Marks has photos of tattoos from all over the world. He thinks people in modern societies often have tattoos becausethey are a connection to the traditional world. But tattoos aren’t a fashion like clothes or a haircut because you can’t put them on and take them off again like a jacket or a hat. They are permanent and for life.12. When were tattoos brought to Europe?A. 5,000 years ago.B. 60 years ago.C. Until recently.D. In the 16th and 17th century.【答案】D13. What does the underlined word “parlors” mean?A. School.B. Stores.C. Hospitals.D. Theaters.【答案】B14. What’s the writer’s opinion about tattoos?A. Tattoos are religious in modern societies.B. Tattoos connect tradition with fashion.C. Tattoos are a fashion among famous people.D. Tattoos show information about a person’s hobby.【答案】B15. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Tattoos' History.B. Tattoos in Polynesia.C. Tattoos on a Human in Ice.D. Tattoos in Fashion and for Life.【答案】D。

AA farmer had a brother in town who was a gardener, and his brother had a garden full of the finest fruit trees. So his skill and his beautiful trees were famous everywhere. One day the farmer went into the town to visit his brother, and was surprised at the trees that grew quite well."Look, my brother," said the gardener. "I will give you an apple tree, the best from my garden, and you, and your children, and your children's children will enjoy it."Then the gardener called his workmen and ordered them to take up the tree and carry it to his brother's farm. They did so, and the next morning the farmer began to wonder where he should plant it."If I plant it on the hill," he said to himself, "the wind might catch it and shake down the delicious fruit before it is ripe. If I plant it close to the road, passersby will see it and take away the apples--but if I plant it too near the door of my house, my children may pick the fruit." So, after he had thought the matter over, he planted the tree behind his barn (谷仓).Time passed, but the tree had no fruit the first year, nor the second-then the farmer called his brother.

With the theme of" ▲ ", people from across the city got together to share their homemade food and discuss the family stories. They also set up a mobile neighbors' library to share books.Sarah from the United States said she had a great time with her neighbors as she experienced the art of Chinese paper cutting for the first time. Masha from Russia, who is studying Chinese at the Ocean University of China, described the event as a great chance to make friends with her Chinese neighbors and learn about the local culture with them. She tried her best at Chinese handwriting and also had great fun learning how to make dumplings. "I love eating dumplings but I never knew how to make them before, "she said." Now I can come to my neighbors' homes and learn in their kitchens."Neighbor Day grew from the needs of the people.

As a result, I always liked sleeping with my back facing the wall because it made me a little comfortable.—Gerard, not so afraid of the dark anymore, but still sleeps with his back facing the wallStrange as it probably sounds, I was scared of shadows(影子).Not the shadows themselves, but what they formed(形成).Because I was near-sighted(近视的), the shadows I saw formed into the scariest things I saw in my mind.—Jean, no longer afraid of shadows I was afraid of the old woman who lived alone right in front of us. Very large trees covered the front part of her small house.

I'm not going to say luck, talent, and Circumstances(境遇)don't Come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are Born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then make it more practical. And, vesides that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10, 000 hours studying and practising. To vecome great at certain things, it'll require even more time, which most people won't put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you give up before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were Born with some unusual talent, But thinking that way does you no good, andthere's a huge Chance that you're wrong anyway.No matter what you do, if you want to Become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction(入迷), and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Hard work won't guarantee(保证)you the level of success you may want, But it will guarantee that you will Become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.(1)Paragraph 1 mainly talks about __________.A. the reasons for successB. the meaning of successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success(2)The underlined word" that" refers to __________.A. putting in more timeB. succeeding in lifeC. Being good at somethingD. setting a practical goal(3)Successful people suggest doing what one loves Because __________.A. work makes him feel painB. he is likely to enjoy his workC. he gives up his work easilyD. it takes a lot of time to succeed(4)What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain that luck or talent leads to success.B. To tell us that one cannot succeed without time and practice.C. To show us that having a goal is the main reason to success.D. To describe that successful people like to show their great skills.5.阅读理解We often hear stories of animals rescuing people. But now someone has managed to return the favor.The event took place on a snowy January morning. Thomas Smith was walking his dog, Jack, in the park. "As I was walking, I just saw Jack running into the ice towards the ducks in the middle, and then he fell into the water and couldn't climb out," said Smith. He realized he had no choice but to try and save his dog. "Someone else told me the lake was only one meter deep, but it was at least twice that. I had to break my way through the 6-cm ice. Finally, I got Jack by the neck and pulled him out. I didn't think I had ever felt so cold by the time we got back to dry land. And when we got there, everyone was asking if Jack was okay—no one was particularly worried about me!"A neighbor, Julie Brown, saw it all happen. "The dog went onto an icy lake. All of a sudden, it started to go under. There were crowds of people around, and they were all shouting and screaming. Before I knew it, the owner (Smith) was in the water forcing his way through the ice, I couldn't imagine how cold it was. Everyone was very nervous, but he was as cool as acucumber-he just crawled back out, put the dog on its lead, and went home.Many regard him as a hero, but Mr. Smith is quite laid—back about it, "Most dog owners are the same as me.

They stood in a circle, with 30 more stones lying on top to form a ring of rocks. There was also an inner circle built with similar stones. The stones set up in a trilithon(巨石牌坊) pattern.A trilithon is made of two stone pillars with a stab of rock laid across the top. The stones weigh up to 20 tons each. People wonder how the huge rocks were placed that way.Historians agree that Stonehenge was built in three different stages. The first stage took place about 5, 000 years ago. At that time, a large circular earth wall was made. Historians believe the wall was dug and cut with tools made form anglers(鹿角)of red deer. The earth wall was about 98m in diameter(直径) a 5-meter-tall stone was placed near the center. Then, they had to transport the large blue stones (up to 4 tons) 384 kilometers to Stonehenge. Experts think they might be moved across ice and snow. The ground in winter in this area is usually full of ice and snow, making it easier to move the rocks. The next task was to stand the stones up. The most difficult task was putting the top stones in place. Each one of these tasks took a lot of planning and a lot of strength, but the workers of Stonehenge were excellent builders.Why was the monument built? Some scientists think it's a burial ground. There are over 400 graves (burial sits) nearby. A man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470 BC). Others think Stonehenge was built by early astronomers. Scientists believe that when a person stands in the center of the monument, the changing of seasons can be seen. Certain stones mark the location of the rising and setting moon in midwinter. Other stones mark the rising and setting sun in midsummer. The ancient people held religious ceremonies on these days. These ceremonies probably asked the gods to bring good weather for crops and to protect the people from bad weather.Stonehenge is an engineering success. Thousands of years later, it still stands. As a calendar,Stonehenge is very accurate. It shows that early people had a deep understanding of the movements to the sun and the moon. They didn't have machines or computers, but Stonehenge shows people could do many things using only their muscles and their brains.(1)he first building stage of Stonehenge was ________.A. to dig and cut the earth wallB. to move the blue stones across the iceC. to stand the stones upD. to put the top stones in place(2)Which evidence(证据) is given to support the idea that Stonehenge was a burial ground?A. Stonehenge was made of stones.B. It is a place for celebrating ceremonies.C. The passing of seasons can be seen there.D. Two gold earrings were found in a grave.(3)The underlined word "accurate" in the last paragraph probably means "________".A. correctB. strangeC. hugeD. heavy(4)Stonehenge was probably NOT originally built for ________.A. touristsB. religious reasonsC. a burial groundD. telling the seasons8.阅读理解Our monthly talks start at 19: 30 on the first Thursday of each month except August.

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.

九年级英语阅读理解30题:激烈的竞争挑战1<背景文章>In modern society, competition is everywhere. Whether it is in the workplace or in academic fields, people are facing intense competition.In the workplace, the number of job seekers often far exceeds the number of available positions. Companies are constantly looking for the most talented and efficient employees. With the development of globalization and the rapid progress of technology, the requirements for employees are getting higher and higher. People need to have a wide range of knowledge, excellent skills, and strong adaptability to survive in this competitive environment. For example, in the IT industry, new technologies emerge in an endless stream. Programmers need to keep learning new programming languages and algorithms to keep up with the pace of the industry.In academic fields, students also face fierce competition. There are a large number of students competing for limited educational resources. In order to enter a good university or get a scholarship, students have to study hard, get high scores in various exams, and participate in various extracurricular activities to enrich their resumes. The competition among students not only comes from classmates in the same school but also fromstudents all over the world.The intense competition has a great impact on people's psychology and life. On the one hand, it brings a lot of pressure. People may feel anxious, worried, and even lose confidence because of the fear of failure. On the other hand, it also has a positive impact. It can stimulate people's potential, make people more self - disciplined, and improve their ability to solve problems.To deal with the competition, people need to adopt some strategies. First of all, people should have a correct attitude towards competition. Competition is not the end, but a means to promote personal growth. Secondly, people should continuously improve their own abilities. They can participate in training courses, read books, and communicate with others to expand their knowledge and skills. Finally, people should also pay attention to their physical and mental health. Appropriate rest and relaxation can help people relieve stress and better face competition.1. What is the main idea of this article?A. The importance of competition in modern society.B. The phenomenon, reasons, impacts and coping strategies of intense competition in different fields.C. The negative impacts of competition on people.D. How to succeed in competition.答案:B。
