It is well-known to us that saving food is very important. Food provides us with our daily energy, and good food makes us feel good.
However, in our life, we can see people throw away the clean food to dustbins or people order too much food in restaurants without packing the leftovers home. Wasting food not only wastes a lot of money but also pollutes the environment.
As teenagers, we should develop good habits to avoid wasting food. When you order food at a restaurant, don't order too much. Remember to finish your food. If you can finish all of it, you should take home what is left. What’s more, you can also make posters to call on others to save food. Everyone can help to prevent food waste.2023年春学期九年级英语期中考试

Powered by a lithium battery, it can swim, turn, float and dive like a real shark by moving its mechanical fins（鳍）. The mouth and gills（鳃）can also open and close like a shark's. Thebiomimetic shark is made of sensors（传感器）, multi-joint fins, batteries, and systems which enable it to avoid what's in the way in all directions."The robot can reach a depth of 10 meters and work for as long as 10 hours, "said Fang Xuelin, a senior researcher in charge of the robot shark program."The shark can be remotely controlled and can also swim based on preset programs or its own sensors, "he said.
"We have built multiple kinds of robot fishes.…he robotic whale shark is the largest mechanical fish we have made so far, "Fang added. "Our robots are to serve three purposes—to perform in aquariums for entertainment, spread knowledge about the sea and aquatic（水生的）animals among youngsters, and carry out scientific tasks such as hydrological surveys, underwater photography and environmental inspection.

If you walk through a park in the morning or in the evening, you might see a lot of people doing these slow and beautiful movements— Carry the tiger over the mountain and White crane spreads its wings. In fact, they are doing Taichi.
Taichi is an ancient martial art (武术). It is a common kind of exercise in China. More than 100 million people in over 150 countries practice Taichi at present. Recently UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) has added Taichi to its Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录). Many taichi fans were happy to hear of it. “This will make taichi more popular around the world. Hopefully, more people will become healthier by practicing it.” said Chen Bin. He is a Taichi master from the village of Chenjiagou, Henan Province. This village is the birthplace of Chen-style Taichi.
It’s true that doing Taichi is good for our health. It can make us walk and move more freely, and it can also make us stronger. During slow movements, we can focus on our hands and feet. We can control them better. Slow movements also help us to take deep and long breaths.
Taichi also focuses on the harmony (和谐) between yin (阴) and yang (阳). It shows how the ancient Chinese people saw the world. The world is full of yin and yang: dark and light, soft and hard, female and male. But they don’t oppose (对立) each other absolutely (绝对地). As we see in the picture, a white spot is in the black area and a black spot is in the white area. After a dark night, the sun will rise. Leaves fall in autumn but grow in spring. Everything keeps changing — that is how we should see the world.Taichi carries traditional Chinese philosophy (哲学), such as being in harmony with nature and using softness to beat hardness. It has become a symbol of Chinese culture.

( )30．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage

Dr. Dolittle lived in a small town called Puddleby. Everyone in the town knew him. The dog and children ran after him.
He lived in a small house, but he had a large garden. He kept many animals in his garden. His favourite animals were Dab-Dab, a duck; Jip, a dog; Gub-Gub, a baby pig and Polynesia, a parrot. He also kept some fish, rabbits, cats, a squirrel, a cow and a baby cow, a horse, chickens and so on.
Dr. Dolittle didn’t have many patients. Most people didn’t like all of his animals, so when they were ill, they went to a doctor in another town.“But you don’t have any money,” his sister told him. “You need patients.” “I have a patient,” Dr. Dolittle answered. “The cat’s-meat-man. He’s the man who sells me meat for the cat.” “He doesn’t pay you enough to live on,” his sister told him. “Then I’ll sell everything I have,” he said.
And he did. He sold most of his furniture. He also sold most of his clothes. Then he had enough money to buy food for himself and his animals.
One day, the cat’s-meat-man said to him, “Why don’t you stop being a doctor for people and become a doctor for animals instead I’m sure that you know a lot about animals-more than most vets. You wrote a wonderful book about cats. I’d send all the people with sick dogs or cats to you.”
When the cat’s-meat-man left, Polynesia, the parrot, flew onto the table. “He’s right, Doctor,” Polynesia said, “You should become an animal doctor.”
“There are a lot of vets,” Dr. Dolittle said.
“Perhaps there are a lot of vets, But you’d be the best vet of all. I’m not the only animal that can talk. All the animals can talk. Each kind of animal has its own language. I’ll teach you mine if you like.”
“Yes, please,” Dr. Dolittle said. He opened a drawer (抽屉) and took out a notebook and pencil. “Will you teach me the parrot’s ABCs first ” he asked.
Polynesia agreed to teach Dr. Dolittle parrot language. Later that day, Jip came into the room. Polynesia said, “He’s talking to you, Doctor.”
“I don’t think he is,” Dr. Dolittle said. “He’s just scratching (挠) himself.” “Dogs talk with their ears, their noses, and their tails,” Polynesia told him. They don’t always make a noise. Do you see how he is moving his nose now ”
“Yes.”
“He is telling us that it has stopped raining, and he wants to ask you a question.”
Every day, Dr. Dolittle learned the languages of the animals. When people found out he was now an animal doctor, they brought their sick pets to him.
One day, a horse said to him, “You’re a much better animal doctor than the vet. You knew I couldn’t see well, and you made glasses for me.”
The horse was very pleased. He could see very well. He told all his friends how clever Dr. Dolittle was, and they told all their friends. Soon, many animals came to see him. He had a different door for each animal, and he wrote the name of each kind of animal above each door. HORSES, COWS, ...
Before long, every animal that lived in or near the town became the doctor’s patient. He was very happy, and he liked his life very much.

You don’t know me unless you read a book called The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Huck’s my name, Huckleberry Finn. That book ends like this: my best friend, Tom Sawyer, and I found $12,000 in gold in a cave. We became rich. We got $6,000 each.
My mother died long ago and then my dad, Pap, disappeared. He was always drunk and he often beat me. Then a kind old lady called Widow Douglas took me into her home to live. She gave me a bed to sleep in and bought new clothes for me. She read stories to me and taught me how to eat at a table. She sent me to school every day.
I hated those new clothes. I missed my old life. I put on my old clothes and ran away and was free and happy, but Tom Sawyer found me and said that if I wanted to join his club, I would have to return to live with the widow. For this reason, I returned to live with her.
The months passed and winter came. The weather got cold. One morning I woke up and there was snow on the ground. On my way to school I saw some footprints outside the widow’s house. My heart jumped. Pap!
“He’s heard about my money,” I thought. “And he wants it! ”
When I lit my candle and went up to my room that night, there sat Pap—his own self! I expected to be scared of him now, but I wasn’t. I stood looking at him; he set there—looking at me.
Pap was nearly fifty years old. His black hair was long and uncombed and dirty. He had allowed hair to grow on his face, which was ghostly white. Just looking at the ugly white skin made me feel sick. His clothes —dirty and torn. His feet showed through large holes in his shoes. His hat was on the floor—an old black hat with a large hole in it.
