Hu Yifan, a 28-year-ld girl, is a “queen f chess” in China. Peple arund the wrld are impressed by the great chess player.
Hu started t play chess at 5 years ld in 1999. At that time, her parents tk Hu t try different mind games at a training center. “With the special shapes (形状), I was interested in the chess and wanted t take it up,” said Hu.
After playing fr tw years as a hbby, Hu met her cach, a great master Tng Yuanming and began a kind f new training. “Chess is a mind game full f changes. S I shuld learn skills frm thers and keep practising chess in my daily life,” Hu said.
Luckily, what she did was sn rewarded (回报). At 13, she became China’s yungest Natinal Wmen’s Champin and then became the yungest chess champin in the wrld at 16.
Althugh she was well-knwn all ver the wrld, she still wanted t keep imprving. Having fcused n internatinal chess fr a lng time, Hu then wanted t study in the cllege. She went t Peking University in 2012. Several years later, she went n t study in the University f Oxfrd. “I must knw mre,” she said. “I wuld like t pen my eyes t see the whle wrld.”

The late president f Suth Africa, Nelsn Mandela. nce said, “If yu talk t a man in a language he understands, that ges t his head. If yu talk t a man in his wn language, that ges t his heart.”
Mandela understd that ur mther language is a very intimate (亲近的) thing t us. Fr peple wh speak an ancient tngue as their mther language, it helps them keep their traditins. Their language is their main cnnectin with their ancestrs. And it is als hw they imagine the future.
S it’s a serius thing that a language disappears. Over the last century, mre than 400 languages have died ut. Sme languages are nw spken nly by a few dzen peple, like Yagan in Chile. Africa and Suth Africa are als places where many languages are dying.
Why are we humans speaking fewer languages than we nce did? The answer has t d with glbalizatin. With greater trade and cmmunicatin, the planet has becme smaller. It’s becme mre useful t speak sme languages—English is the bvius example—than thers. The effect has been t kill certain languages, usually nes spken by less ppulus and pwerful peples.
But there are peple and rganizatins all ver the wrld that aren’t prepared t accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages. Thrugh effrts bth large and small, they are getting peple t speak and read in certain languages, and t pass them n. Each year n Feb 21,The United Natins als hlds Internatinal Mther Language Day in the hpe that the public pay mre attentin t dying languages.
This wrk is imprtant. As US writer Rita Mae Brwn wrte, “Language is the rad map f a culture. It tells where its peple cme frm and where they are ging”.

Over the past billins f years, many animals and plants have lived n this beautiful planet. But abut 99.9 percent f them died ut. This is because they culdn’t adapt t (适应) where they lived. T survive, living things must change ver time. This is called evlutin (进化).
When reading this article, please remember that every ne f us is a lucky dg. We evlve, and we survive! After years f evlutin, nw we have the abilities t live in the wrld and enjy it. Just like humans, ther animals n Earth als evlve great abilities. Fr example, giraffes live n the grassland f Africa. T adapt t life there, they have evlved lnger necks t reach the high trees, as well as lnger legs t run away frm lins and cheetahs (猎豹).
Hwever, evlutin als gives giraffes a strange habit: They nly sleep fr abut 30 minutes a day and less than 5 minutes a time, and they sleep standing! Why are they s wakeful? Well, that’s because they are s tall. They need lnger time getting ff the grund and run. Because f this special sleep style, they wn’t becme easy meals fr thers.
As yu see, evlutin isn’t always perfect. It helps animals t live, but it smetimes als gives them what they dn’t really want. Dn’t feel srry. It’s part f natural selectin (选择). In rder t survive, all f this is necessary.
（2022春·江苏无锡·九年级校联考期中）If yu are feeling that life cannt be any wrse fr yu, it can be challenging t think psitive (积极). When stressed, depressed, upset r therwise in a negative state f mind because yu are aware that misfrtune (不幸) keeps happening. It is imprtant t change thse negative thughts t smething psitive. If nt, yu will nly attract mre misfrtune.
It is ften very hard t think psitive when s many things are negative, but be sure that smene, smewhere is wrse ff than yu.
Yu can chse t think differently by beginning with the smallest f steps. If yu start ne small, psitive thing and appreciate (感激) it during the curse f yur day, yu will begin t mve int a mre psitive situatin and peple will start shwing up in yur life. With appreciatin, yu will find that ver time, yu will change yur utlk and chse t be happy, regardless f the events arund yu.
Here are a few cmmn examples fr yu t practice. Begin and end each day with a “Thank yu fr this wnderful day!” When yu see the rise f gas prices, say “I am s glad t have a car in which t get arund.” When yur bss is t hard n yu, say “I am grateful fr my jb as I knw that many dn’t have ne.” If yu are having health prblems, be grateful fr what des wrk: “I really d appreciate it that my eyes see, my ears hear, my muth tastes, my legs walk. my arms lift and my mind thinks and everything else wrks.”
Write dwn whatever yu’re grateful fr each day. In mments when yu’re feeling really dwn, read alud what yu wrte. This will certainly help uplift yur spirits. If yu practice this regularly, yu will find yur list getting lnger and lnger.
The key is t mve yurself int a psitive thught and keep it there lng enugh t make it a mment f appreciatin. The mre yu appreciate, the happier yu’ll be.

Have yu ever visited Lngmen Grttes（石窟）r Yungang Grttes? Arund 1, 800 years ag, Chinese artists made statues in muntains. Over the years, these statues have gne thrugh earthquakes, flds and wars.

Over many centuries, these grtt statues slwly crrde（侵蚀）because f the acidic cntent （酸性物含量）f air, water and s n. But when they are pen t the public, the crrsin prcess speeds up.
Accrding t a study, the carbn dixide that visitrs breathe ut has made the air mre acidic. Als, visitrs bring in micrrganisms（微生物）. Even their bdy heat can increase the grttes’ temperature.
Bad behaviur can cause harm t the grtt statues as well. T many visitrs tuch the grtt statues and cause their surfaces t change clur.
When we visit the grttes, we can ften see a sign saying, “N Flash!”r “N Phts!” This is because the strng light can be bad fr the statues, especially thse with clur. The light can easily make them lse clur.
T prtect thse ancient cultural treasures, recently China has asked the wrkers wh take care f thse grttes nt t allw t many visitrs t cme every day. And t keep a balance between prtecting relies and educating the public, sme grtt sites have als created their wn digital（数字的）museums.

●A family meal
Fr thse wh live within less than an hur’s travelling distance frm their parents, a weekly get tgether arund the dinner table is really nt t much t ask.

In sme areas, it’s difficult t find peple wh can make repairs, and fixing things can be quite expensive. Als, sme small bjects are s inexpensive that it’s ften easier t just buy a new ne.
In 2009, Martine Pstma frm the Netherlands decided there must be a better way. Her slutin was Repair Cafes: places where peple can take brken items. There they will find tls, resurces and vlunteer experts wh are ready t help with repairs.
Pstma’s first Repair Cafe pened n Oct. 18, 2009, in Amsterdam, and was a huge success. News f the cafe spread, and peple began asking hw they culd start their wn.

Hw t d it? T buy a RTW air ticket that uses ne airline alliance (联盟) can save yu a lt f mney. Any air line is pssible, but knwing hw the RTW bking system wrks will make yur trip cheaper. Fr example, the Star Alliance ffers a RTW ticket with 15 stps at mst.

Then accept that yu will be in sme places where the weather isn’t suitable fr sightseeing.
Where t g? The classic (and cheapest) RTW tickets are thse between a few big cities, fr example Lndn—Bangkk—Singapre—Sydney—LA．If yu want t fly t mre unusual places (Baku—Kinshasa—Paramarib, anyne?), prices will climb. The price f the ticket is based n the ttal distance cvered r the number f cuntries visited.
If the cst matters t yu, spend mre time in less expensive cuntries. Yur daily utgings will be far higher in Eurpe and Nrth America than in Suth-East Asia. Indnesia and India are very cheap.

If yu d nt take ne f yur bked flights (say, by chance, yu decide t travel by land frm Bangkk t Singapre rather than fly it) yur airline is likely t cancel all the fllwing flights.

（2022春·江苏无锡·九年级校联考期中）Many f us have had this experience: we lie dwn in a bed ther than ur wn, perhaps at a friend’s huse r in a htel rm, and find it difficult t fall asleep.
Why des it happen?
A new study shws ne reasn is what the scientists call “first night effect”. They believe that ne side f the brain acts as a “night watch” t warn us abut pssible dangers. It prevented us frm getting t sleep n the first night in a new envirnment.
Fr the study, 35 yung vlunteers were tld t sleep in a lab fr several days as researchers watched their brain activities.
Accrding t the researchers, n their first night, the left brains were mre active than the right brains and peple had a hard time sleeping. Hwever, left-brain activity reduced as days went by, falling even t the pint f cmplete calm. In this prcess, the vlunteers gt better and better sleep experience.
The findings suggest that the different rhythms f the sides f the brain influence ur sleep. When the tw sides wrk differently, the balance between them is brken. S, the brain can’t relax and is sensitive (敏感的) t anything strange arund.
“At sme level, the brain is cntinuing t wrk ,even thugh yu dn’t realize it,” US prfessr Jerme Siege tld Smithsnian Magazine. “If smething unusual happens, yu can be alert (警惕的).”
Mre surprisingly, this is like the way sme animals sleep. Whales, dlphins, and many birds can sleep with half f their brain while the ther half stays awake, with ne eye staying pen.
The researchers think that it is the result f evlutin (进化) and wrks t prtect us in pssibly dangerus envirnments.
If yu have ever had first night effects, researchers advise yu t bring yur wn pillw r sleep in a rm similar t yur bedrm next time yu sleep away frm hme.

Despite their different features, these rivers and canals cntinue t nurish (滋养) the Chinese peple physically and culturally. They bring fertile (肥沃的) sil and enugh irrigatin (灌溉) water, which makes many areas “a land f fish and rice”. Cnnecting China as a whle, the water netwrk runs thrugh gegraphical bundaries (界限) and prvides peple with cnvenient transprtatin, expanding trade and prmting ecnmic grwth. These rivers are immrtalized (使名垂千古) in Chinese culture, as can be fund in Chinese petry, art, literature, and flklre.
Just as Chinese President Xi Jinping said, “Lucid waters and lush muntains are invaluable assets (绿水青山就是金山银山).”
T prtect these bdies f water, many measures have been taken in recent years. Fr example, in August the Ministry f Water Resurces annunced plans t bring back 700,000 hectares (公顷) f degraded natural frest and treat almst 1.4 millin hectares f land suffering frm desertificatin (沙漠化) by 2025.
Thrugh these gvernment measures, ur rivers have seen many psitive changes—birds flying abve the wetlands and farmers happily harvesting n irrigated lands.

ANIMAL BODY LANGUAGE
Human beings are nt the nly nes wh cmmunicate. Animals use bdy language t tell each ther hw they feel and what they think. Here is a quick lk at hw sme f ur animal friends send messages t us and t each ther.
Dgs use sunds, bdy mvements, and their tails t cmmunicate. When a dg is happy, its ears will stand up and its eyes will be wide pen. The dg will start barking, mving its tail, and running arund in circles r jumping up and dwn t shw yu that it wants t play. A dg that is afraid will lie n its back and clse its eyes. The dg may shw its teeth and lwer its bdy s that it is clse t the grund. The dg may als shake, and it will put its tail between its legs. When a dg is angry, its main bdy language is shwing its teeth and grwling. The dg will try making itself lk as big as pssible. The tail will stand straight ut frm the bdy.
Elephants als use nises and bdy language t express themselves. An elephant’s sense f smell is highly develped: An elephant can smell hw anther elephant is feeling and even tell if it is sick. The elephant’s nse, r trunk, is als used t make nises and t welcme ther elephants. Different nises have a variety f meanings: they can mean “I am hungry”, “I am angry”, r “Gd t see yu!” An elephant’s bdy language includes ear signals and gestures. If an elephant spreads its ears, it means “Watch ut!” T shw friendship, elephants will tuch each ther with their trunks and stand clse t each ther, putting their heads tgether.
Dlphins are scial animals. They live in grups and lve shwing each ther their feelings. An angry dlphin will smetimes hit its tail n the surface f the water. The mvement and nise let ther dlphins knw that smething is wrng. If a dlphin wants t send a message ver a lng distance, r if it wants t shw hw strng it is, it will jump high ut f the water and land n its side, making a lud nise. A dlphin’s favurite activity is leaping int the air while playing with its friends. When dlphins are tired and need t rest, they will swim in small grups clse t the surface.

Over the past billins f years, many animals and plants have lived n this beautiful planet. But abut 99.9 percent f them died ut. This is because they culdn’t adapt t (适应) where they lived. T survive, living things must change ver time. This is called evlutin (进化).
When reading this article, please remember that every ne f us is a lucky dg. We evlve, and we survive! After years f evlutin, nw we have the abilities t live in the wrld and enjy it.

Hwever, evlutin als gives giraffes a strange habit: They nly sleep fr abut 30 minutes a day and less than 5 minutes a time, and they sleep standing! Why are they s wakeful? Well, that’s because they are s tall. They need lnger time getting ff the grund and run. Because f this special sleep style, they wn’t becme easy meals fr thers.
As yu see, evlutin isn’t always perfect. It helps animals t live, but it smetimes als gives them what they dn’t really want. Dn’t feel srry. It’s part f natural selectin (选择). In rder t survive, all f this is necessary.

25．根据“As yu see, evlutin isn’t always perfect. It helps animals t live, but it smetimes als gives them what they dn’t really want.”可知进化并不总是完美的。它有助于动物生存，但有时也会给它们真正不想要的东西，也就是不能满足它们的需求，satisfy意为“满足”，can后跟动词原形。故填satisfy。

Write dwn whatever yu’re grateful fr each day. In mments when yu’re feeling really dwn, read alud what yu wrte. This will certainly help uplift yur spirits. If yu practice this regularly, yu will find yur list getting lnger and lnger.

30．根据“It is imprtant t change thse negative thughts t smething psitive”可知，把消极的想法转变为积极的想法是非常重要的。此空位于形容词后，应用名词imprtance表示“重要性”。故填imprtance。

（2022春·江苏无锡·九年级校联考期中）Travelling arund the wrld is great. But bking a rund-the-wrld (RTW) trip can be hard. Here is smething that helps t get yu started.
Hw t d it? T buy a RTW air ticket that uses ne airline alliance (联盟) can save yu a lt f mney. Any air line is pssible, but knwing hw the RTW bking system wrks will make yur trip cheaper. Fr example, the Star Alliance ffers a RTW ticket with 15 stps at mst.
There are rules: yu must fllw ne directin (east r west); end yur trip in the cuntry where yu start; and it will be better if yu bk all f yur flights befre leaving, thugh yu can change them later (which may prduce extra charges).
When t g? The weather will never be ideal in all f yur stps. S, make it clear what yu want t d mst and research cnditins there. If a Himalaya hike is yur mst imprtant aim, d nt land in Nepal windy seasn; if yu want t swim with whale sharks ff the cast f Western Australia, be there between April and July. Then accept that yu will be in sme places where the weather isn’t suitable fr sightseeing.
Where t g? The classic (and cheapest) RTW tickets are thse between a few big cities, fr example Lndn—Bangkk—Singapre—Sydney—LA．If yu want t fly t mre unusual places (Baku—Kinshasa—Paramarib, anyne?), prices will climb. The price f the ticket is based n the ttal distance cvered r the number f cuntries visited.
If the cst matters t yu, spend mre time in less expensive cuntries. Yur daily utgings will be far higher in Eurpe and Nrth America than in Suth-East Asia. Indnesia and India are very cheap.
Pay attentin: Turn t an expert (专家) befre yu bk: yu may have a way in mind but an experienced RTW flight bker will knw which way wrks best and csts least—it culd mean big savings.
If yu d nt take ne f yur bked flights (say, by chance, yu decide t travel by land frm Bangkk t Singapre rather than fly it) yur airline is likely t cancel all the fllwing flights.

（2022春·江苏无锡·九年级校联考期中）Many f us have had this experience: we lie dwn in a bed ther than ur wn, perhaps at a friend’s huse r in a htel rm, and find it difficult t fall asleep.
Why des it happen?
A new study shws ne reasn is what the scientists call “first night effect”. They believe that ne side f the brain acts as a “night watch” t warn us abut pssible dangers. It prevented us frm getting t sleep n the first night in a new envirnment.
Fr the study, 35 yung vlunteers were tld t sleep in a lab fr several days as researchers watched their brain activities.
Accrding t the researchers, n their first night, the left brains were mre active than the right brains and peple had a hard time sleeping. Hwever, left-brain activity reduced as days went by, falling even t the pint f cmplete calm. In this prcess, the vlunteers gt better and better sleep experience.
The findings suggest that the different rhythms f the sides f the brain influence ur sleep. When the tw sides wrk differently, the balance between them is brken. S, the brain can’t relax and is sensitive (敏感的) t anything strange arund.
“At sme level, the brain is cntinuing t wrk ,even thugh yu dn’t realize it,” US prfessr Jerme Siege tld Smithsnian Magazine. “If smething unusual happens, yu can be alert (警惕的).”
Mre surprisingly, this is like the way sme animals sleep. Whales, dlphins, and many birds can sleep with half f their brain while the ther half stays awake, with ne eye staying pen.
The researchers think that it is the result f evlutin (进化) and wrks t prtect us in pssibly dangerus envirnments.
If yu have ever had first night effects, researchers advise yu t bring yur wn pillw r sleep in a rm similar t yur bedrm next time yu sleep away frm hme.
【答案】96．awake 97．imprves 98．less 99．caused 100．Advice/Suggestins
【导语】本文主要讲述了什么是“第一晚效应”以及科研人员给出的建议。
96．根据“Whales, dlphins, and many birds can sleep with half f their brain while the ther half stays awake, with ne eye staying pen.”可知，人和动物一样，“第一晚效应”迫使我们保持清醒，因为大脑的一边对可能的危险保持警觉，因此awake“清醒的”符合句意，故填awake。
97．根据“In this prcess, the vlunteers gt better and better sleep experience.”可知，在这个过程中，志愿者的睡眠质量越来越好，也就是说睡眠质量改善了，结合“peple’s sleep experience ”，是第三人称单数，动词用三单形式，imprves“改善”符合句意，故填imprves。
98．根据“Accrding t the researchers, n their first night, the left brains were mre active than the right brains and peple had a hard time sleeping.”可知，在第一个晚上，左脑比右脑更活跃，也就是说右脑没有左脑活跃，结合“active than”，less符合句意，故填less。
99．根据“The researchers think that it is the result f evlutin(进化)and wrks t prtect us in pssibly dangerus envirnments.”可知，研究人员认为，这是进化的结果，结合“by evlutin”，需要一个过去分词，caused“引起”符合句意，故填caused。
100．根据“If yu have ever had first night effects, researchers advise yu t bring yur wn pillw r sleep in a rm similar t yur bedrm next time yu sleep away frm hme.”可知，此段主要阐述了科研人员给出的建议，结合“The explanatins t the findings”，首字母要大写，Advice/Suggestins符合句意，故填Advice/Suggestins。
（2022秋·江苏南京·九年级南京市科利华中学校考期中）Rivers are the lifebld f human civilizatins. As ne f the lngest-lasting civilizatins, China has a large number f rivers. A ttal f 45,203 rivers with a drainage area (流域面积) f mre than 50 square kilmeters run acrss the cuntry, accrding t the Natinal Bureau f Statistics.
The mst famus nes are the Yangtze and Yellw Rivers. As the lngest river in Asia and third lngest in the wrld, the Yangtze River has a length f 6,300 kilmeters. It riginates frm the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (高原) and flws thrugh 11 prvincial-level administrative regins (省级行政区) befre ending in the East China Sea. Secnd t the Yangtze River is the Yellw River, with a length f 5,464 kilmeters as it flws frm the west t the east f China.
Apart frm its big number f natural rivers, China als has a lt f beautiful man-made rivers. The Grand Canal is ne example. With a histry f mre than 2,500 years, the Grand Canal stretches (延伸) nearly 3,200 kilmeters and cnnects the nrth and suth f China.
Despite their different features, these rivers and canals cntinue t nurish (滋养) the Chinese peple physically and culturally. They bring fertile (肥沃的) sil and enugh irrigatin (灌溉) water, which makes many areas “a land f fish and rice”. Cnnecting China as a whle, the water netwrk runs thrugh gegraphical bundaries (界限) and prvides peple with cnvenient transprtatin, expanding trade and prmting ecnmic grwth. These rivers are immrtalized (使名垂千古) in Chinese culture, as can be fund in Chinese petry, art, literature, and flklre.
Just as Chinese President Xi Jinping said, “Lucid waters and lush muntains are invaluable assets (绿水青山就是金山银山).”
T prtect these bdies f water, many measures have been taken in recent years. Fr example, in August the Ministry f Water Resurces annunced plans t bring back 700,000 hectares (公顷) f degraded natural frest and treat almst 1.4 millin hectares f land suffering frm desertificatin (沙漠化) by 2025.

106．根据“the Grand Canal stretches (延伸) nearly 3,200 kilmeters and cnnects the nrth and suth f China.”可知，大运河绵延近3200公里，连接了中国的南北。cnnect“连接”，和主语之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语，故填Cnnecting。
107．根据“They bring fertile (肥沃的) sil and enugh irrigatin (灌溉) water, which makes many areas “a land f fish and rice”.”可知，因为它们带来了肥沃的土壤和充足的灌溉水，所以使许多地区成为了“鱼米之乡”，because f“因为”，故填because。
