（2021·上海嘉定·九年级期末）
Most 15-year-old teenagers are worrying about their math homework and trying to fit in with other kids of their age. But Henry Patterson is busy running a successful online business instead.
Patterson, a teenager from England, began to have this idea when he was nine. One year later,  he started a company called Not Before Tea. He began by selling sweets, but soon turned to household products like wash bags and soft toys. The items he sell feature（以…为特色）characters from a book he wrote called The Adventures of Sherb and Pip.
Patterson’s early school years were difficult, as he showed great difference from his peers（同辈人）. He saw the world differently and was rarely invited to parties or play with. He also had a stammer（口吃），which made him feel even more lonely.
But these things didn’t hold him back. To cheer himself up, Patterson gradually immersed（使…沉浸）himself in designing different animals and writing interesting stories about them. His character started to become popular. He tried very hard to express himself clearly and talk to bigger audience. His business has earned him 65,000 pounds and he won big prize at the National Retail Business Awards for Teenagers.
On top of this, he does his best to keep his schoolwork as a priority（优选项）. He takes his homework with him to events and does it on the train or after a presentation.
Two years ago, he wrote a book called Young and Mighty. It describes his search for success and happiness.

Jin Hee Park is a student at Stanford University in California. She studies hard. "Of course, I came here for the academic (学术)," she says. "But the campus is so beautiful. I walk around just to relax."
Alejandro Vega, a banker in New York City, jogs almost every evening after work in Central Park. "I never get bored. The park is so big. It's a public space, yet it can feel completely private."
Niagara Falls was on Ross Howard's list of places to visit in upstate New York. "There are these wonderful footpaths that make the falls so close to the general public."
In 1857, a design contest was held for a new park in New York City. Frederick Law Olmsted and his partner, Calvert Vaux, won the contest. Central Park was the finished product - the first landscaped public park in the United States. Today, no trip to New York is complete without a visit to this beautiful park.
Later in his life, Olmsted designed landscapes for college campuses, like Stanford University. He also designed footpaths at Niagara Falls to give visitors better views of the falls. In all his work, Olmsted tried to protect the natural beauty of an area.
Today there are new pressures on Niagara Falls: some business want to develop the area, On Goat Island, an island in Niagara Falls State Park, there are now souvenir (纪念品) shops. There may be signs that say "No Littering," but there is still a lot of trash on the island. Most of the animals have disappeared. What would Olmsted think?

（2022·上海徐汇·九年级期末）Choose the best answer（根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）
Fifty years ago I had a young family of three boys. My husband Johnny and I left them with a friend while we made a trip to the cinema.
It was dark and was raining hard. With the headlights shining on the road, we saw something ahead of us. Johnny pulled to a stop and I came out, ran to the grass and grabbed a small, wet, frightened creature. It was freezing cold and so tiny that it fit into the palm of my hand but I still wasn’t sure what it was. It stayed close to me for warmth and comfort. I wrapped it safely in my woolen hat and suggested that my husband turn back and go home. We thought it was a baby rabbit because it had long ears, long hind legs and was greyish brown in color. Once home, we filled a box with old newspaper and a warm towel. We fed it milk and bread and hoped it would survive. We named our new animal Bobsy. We all loved it at first sight.
Our boys were happy with the little animal and it seemed to enjoy all the attention. Sadly though, on the third day with us, it caught its back foot in a door and we quickly realized it was broken. We rushed to the vet, who said, “It’s only a rabbit, I’ll put it to sleep.” Our response was a very decisive, “No way!”
We found another vet and were told that she was a baby hare. We were told we should continue to keep her in her box for a week and her foot would be fine.
After her recovery, Bobsy learned to use the kitty litter tray. She would comb her long ears with her front paws. Her favourite treats were chocolate drops and she was so smart that she would help herself to them straight from the packet. The local paper heard about this and came to our house to take her photo and write a story about her. We had her for seven wonderful years before we moved to New Zealand and we will never forget her.
13．Johnny and his wife saw a little animal ________.
A．on the way to the cinema B．on the way back from the cinema
C．in their house garden D．in their friend’s home
14．When the little animal was found, it was everything EXCEPT ________.
A．cold B．warm C．frightened D．wet
15．On the third day with us, the little animal got hurt because of ________.
A．the attention B．Jonny C．the door D．Bobsy
16．The underlined sentence “No way!” means “________!”
A．We don’t allow you to do so B．We have no choice but to agree with you
C．There is no chance for it to become better D．There is no way for it to go back home
17．The underlined word “this” refers to the fact that ________.
A．the little animal loved chocolate drops best
B．the little animal didn’t get herself hurt any more
C．the little animal got better after staying in a box for a week

18．The writer wrote this passage to ________.
A．give advice on how to keep a pet at home B．record the details of Bobsy for the local paper

The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds.
About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen(职业运动员). They may be sportsmen for only few years, but during that time the best one can earn a lot of money.
For example, a professional football in England earns more than $ 30,000 a year. The stars earn lot more. International golf(高尔夫球) and tennis champions(网球锦标赛) can make more than $ 50,000 in a year. Of course, only few sportsmen can earn as much money as that. It is possible in sports for individuals like golf, tennis and motor-racing. Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: The stars can earn more money from advertising than from sport. An advertisement for sports equipment(运动装备) does not simply say “Buy our thing”. It says “Buy the same shirt and shoes as ...” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or photographs of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.
19．The word “sport” now usually means __________.
A．organized games B．hunting wild animals and birds
C．games played during people’s spare time D．professional games
20．“Professional” sportsman is someone who __________.
A．earns a lot of money B．plays a sport for a number of years

A．less B．more C．no D．a lot of

A．own B．great C．free D．home

A．Many famous sportsmen can earn money besides playing sports games.
B．Professional footballers play football all their lives.
C．If a company uses the photos of a famous sportsman, they will pay for him.
D．The author(作者) tells us three different meanings of the word “sport” in the passage.
24．Which is the best title of this passage？
A．Sport and Money B．Sports Games
C．People’s Spare Time D．Professional Sportsmen

（2022·上海·九年级期末）Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）
Unless we spend money to spot（认出，发现） and prevent asteroids（小行星）now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.
Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids（流星体） that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.
Buy $500 million worth of new telescopes right now, they spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we’ll have a way to change its course.
Is it worth it？ Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: （1） How likely the event is; （2） How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare but if one did fall. It would be the end of the world. “If we don’t take care of these big asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist. “It’s that simple. ”
The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets（队，车队） of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth？ “The world has less fear from doomsday rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them.” said a New York Times article.
25．What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids？
A．They are heavenly bodies different in composition. B．They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.
C．There are more asteroids than meteoroids. D．Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.
26．What do scientists say about the collision, of an asteroid with Earth？
A．It is very unlikely but the danger exists.
B．Such a collision might occur once every 25 years.
C．Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected.
D．It’s still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.
27．What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of asteroids？
A．It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem.
B．It may create more problems than it might solve.
C．It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely.
D．Further research should be done before it is proved applicable.
28．We can conclude from the passage that
A．while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world.
B．asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future.
C．the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime.
D．workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth.
29．Which of the following best describes the author’s tone in this passage？
A．Optimistic. B．Critical. C．Objective. D．Arbitrary（武断的）
30．The best title for the passage is __________.
A．How will the world end？ B．Asteroids and meteoroids in the sky.
C．Nuclear weapons on Earth. D．What if asteroids crash into Earth？

（2018·上海金山·九年级期末）Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)：

I'm very thankful to the cat and it always makes me think of the time I was with him.
Five years ago, when my father was dying, I travelled a thousand miles from home to be with him in his last days. I felt very sad and it was one of the most difficult and painful times in my life. After he passed away, I stayed alone in his flat. There were so many things to deal with. I was lonely and I hated the silence of the flat.
But one evening the silence was broken: I heard crying outside. I opened the door to find a little cat on the steps. He was thin and poor. He looked the way I felt. I brought him inside and gave him a can of fish. He ate it and then almost immediately fell asleep.
The next morning I checked with neighbors and learned that the cat had been left by his owner. His owner had moved out, so the little cat was there all alone, just like I was. As I walked back to the flat, I tried to work out what to do with him. Having something else to take care of seemed like the very last thing I needed. But as soon as I opened the flat door, he ran to me and jumped into my arms. It was clear from that moment that he didn't want to go anywhere. I started calling him Willis in order to remember my father's best friend.
From then on, things grew easier. With Willis in my lap, time seemed to pass much faster.
When the time finally came for me to return home, I had to decide what to do about Willis. There was absolutely no way I would leave without him.
It's been five years since my father died. Over the years, several people have said how nice it was of me to rescue the cat. But I know that we rescued each other. I may have given him a home but he gave me something greater.

There are a number of different places to eat in the Sunshine Shopping Centre.The Northern House is small, but very popular. The noodle soup tastes very good. Everything is clean and the staff are friendly. Prices are good too, but you may have to wait quite a long time as the restaurant is so busy.
The Rome Hut is a new restaurant. It is very smart, but the pizzas here do not taste good. We did not eat our fish as it smelt bad. The waiters looked angry and we thought it was expensive. This restaurant needs to be improved.
The Tokyo Restaurant has been here for many years and the staff bow(鞠躬) to customers when they enter and are very polite. The fish is very fresh and most of the food is delicious. The amount of food you get is quite small but it always looks nice on the plate.
The Golden Dragon is a large Chinese restaurant. It has a lot of different food. The sweet and sour pork is excellent, the Beijing Duck is famous, and the winter melon soup is good. Go there for a really good meal but expect to pay a lot. Prices are high.
The Come in Coffee Shop is very modern. There are many kinds of coffee and if you like sweet things wait until you taste their cakes and cookies! You can also have sandwiches — I enjoyed the egg sandwich a lot. They have modern music playing, but it is often very noisy, so it is quite difficult to have a good conversation.

（2022·上海黄浦·二模）I have been a staff writer for the school newspaper, the Dagligtale, since my first day here at the University of Alberta. I probably won’t work as a journalist after my graduation, but this doesn’t mean my experience in student journalism has been useless. In fact, I have picked up many important skills through this job.
I still remember my first news story. It was about the victory of the school baseball team. I attended the celebration and was told to do some interviews. I was frightened. Talking to strangers was one of my fears. But I gathered my courage and did it. I talked to the students, the players and the team leader. It was something I had never dreamed of doing before. This opportunity gave me confidence and helped me to improve my social skills.
In journalism, everything has to be based on facts. As a student journalist, I have learned to do research and to think critically about what I read. Discovering the facts is important when you are writing for the school newspaper, but in the Information Age, this is also an increasingly useful skill in everyday life.
As a student journalist, I always know that I have a lot to learn. I’m never afraid of asking people for feedback (反馈意见). I have learned how not to take negative (负面的) feedback personally and how to use it to make improvements to myself.
Journalism is a stressful field to work in, but I’m thankful that I have had the opportunity to try my hand at it. It has taught me to be a better storyteller, student and citizen. If you are ever given a chance to write for a campus newspaper or magazine, take it and learn everything you can!
