(2022·重庆·模拟预测)After being a soldier for three years, I started school at Greenville College in my hometown of Illinois. I’d been away from high school for several years, but my high school headmaster, Mr.
Gardner, invited me to a Valentine’s Day dance party at school. The thought of seeing my former teachers was exciting. So, I agreed.
When Friday came, I cleaned up, dressed up and drove to the high school gym. While I was chatting with my teachers, the band started playing and a young girl stood up to sing. When I looked at her, I was crazy — I had never seen such a beautiful girl!
I asked Mr. Gardner who she was, and he answered, “That’s Mary Riley, Robin Riley’s daughter.” I was shocked. They lived just around the corner from me. I walked across the gym floor to introduce myself, “Hi, I’m Jeffery Joseph.”
“I know who you are,” was her not-too-friendly response.
“Would you like to dance ” I asked. “No! I’m working,” she shouted back.
“Can I call you next week for a movie date ” I asked. “No,” was her response.
For the next month I phoned, trying to set up a date. She always had the same answer: No. Then one rainy afternoon in March as I was driving home after basketball practice, I saw Mary, walking with no umbrella, no raincoat, no hat. I asked if she needed a ride, half expecting her to say no. Instead, she stepped over the roadside and sat down on the seat next to me.

(2024·重庆九龙坡·一模)One day, two boys were fighting badly over a toy and they were angry with each other. Their father saw this, pulled them apart, and said, “Do you know how hunters used to catch monkeys ” “No.” The two boys replied confusedly.
“They would place a glass jar (罐子) with a small neck on the ground. Then, inside the jar, they would put the monkeys’ favorite food.” The father said, “The hunters would step back, hiding somewhere, waiting for monkeys to come over.” As the children listened carefully, the father went on, “When a monkey found the jar, it would reach inside, take the food, and try to pull it out. But here was the clever part: the small neck of the jar stopped the monkey from getting its hand out without giving up the food. No matter how hard the monkey pulled, it couldn’t free its hand without letting go of the food.”

(23-24九年级下·重庆渝中·阶段练习)The earth gives us special and important things that we need . We call these things natural resources. Air, sunlight, water, wood, and land are all natural resources.
Living things need clean air to breathe and clean water to drink. Plants need sunlight and land to grow, and we need plants for food. When plants breathe, they clean the air around them. We use the wood from plants and trees to make a lot of things, like paper, some houses, and furniture.
We shouldn’t hurt our natural resources because we can’t usually make more of them. Smoke from cars and factories makes the air dirty. If the air is dirty, people can get sick and plants can’t grow. If we cut down trees, we should plant new ones.
Trash is very bad for our natural resources. Sometimes people throw trash into water but we can’t drink dirty water, and plants can’t grow near it. Trash goes to places called landfills, and it stays there forever. Some landfills are dirty and they smell bad. People can’t use that land, and farmers can’t grow food on it.
We can all take care of the Earth’s resources. Here are some ideas:
★Use things until you can’t use them anymore.
★Don’t throw things away. Reuse them. Refill plastic drink bottles. Make toys from old things.
★Reduce the natural resources you use.
★Take your own bags to the store.

(23-24九年级下·重庆沙坪坝·阶段练习)Most runners think about speed and the distance they cover. But Cathy Wang, a running lover in Chongqing is focused on the image (图像) she will run today. She has been running for 10 years since 2014 and she felt like trying something different 2 years ago. “I’m using the streets of Chongqing as my painting paper and my footprint is my paintbrush.”
Cathy is not alone. Around the world, billions of people record their daily walks, runs, with location tracking (位置跟踪) APP which depends on GPS. They call it GPS art or run art. People run their design (设计) in one continuous line which shows different things, like a smiling face or a flower they like. Gary Cordery, a bicyclist in Britain, keeps watching people doing GPS art around the world. Last year she found that most of it was about people’s favorite animals.
“Sit down before you go out and study something on a map and think I’m going to run a marathon (马拉松) today, but in the shape of a polar bear or something else. I think it’s a good way to enjoy myself,” said Cathy.
Over the past 2 years, Cathy, has done one GPS art once a month. It might take two hours to create the design to make sure that it doesn’t go through any walls or highways. “GPS helps,” says Cathy. It’s getting better, telling which side of the street she is on, but she’s not a perfectionist. “I know what I want it to look like, but how it turns out at the end, I’ll never know until I finish it.

(23-24九年级下·重庆沙坪坝·开学考试)If you’ve ever walked through fog (雾), you might have noticed that your skin and hair get wet. This is because fog is made of tiny water drops. Scientists are helping people collect these drops to make drinking water.
In some towns, there is no fresh water. People there have to use trucks to carry fresh water. It is expensive.
Since rain falls to the ground, it can easily be collected into tanks (冰箱). But the water drops that make up fog don’t hit the ground. Instead, they float (漂浮) in the air. To turn fog into water, you have to catch the water drops.
A fog catcher is made of nets with two posts. The nets are usually set up on a hilltop. As fog passes by, the nets catch the water drops. The drops run down the nets and into channels. The channels lead the water into large tanks where it can be stored. A fog catcher can collect 10,000 liters of water a day. Scientists have helped set up fog
catchers for towns in Chile, Nepal and Mexico.
Fog catchers are a great way for people in small and lonely towns to have their own fresh water. Centuries before scientists created fog-catching nets, nature was making fog into water on its own. As fog passed through the mountains, large leaves got the drops just like the nets do. People learned to drink the water collected on the leaves. Thanks to modern fog catchers, enough water can be made for a whole town!
53.What does the world “It” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Trucks’ carrying. B.Rain collecting. C.Fog catching. D.Water collecting.

(23-24九年级下·重庆沙坪坝·开学考试)For those who have never been to Harbin, there’s almost an endless list of things to do. Here are several activities that have to be included.
Turning water into ice
One can’t go to the Ice-Snow World without stopping by the Sun Island Snow Expo. After all, the first one is for enjoying illuminated (照亮的) ice at night, and the second one is for playing with snow in the daytime. Tourists from the south might be surprised by the bright sunshine reflected in the snow, so don’t forget the sunglasses.
This is also a good place to throw water and watch it turn into ice very quickly. Find a safe place with no one nearby, and enjoy the magic moment.
Snow tubing (雪地滑轮胎) on the Songhua River
In winter, the Songhua River turns into “thousands of miles of ice” and becomes a natural ice-skating park. The frozen river offers opportunities for many different winter activities. But make sure the ice is solid before stomping (跺脚) in the snow.
Speeding down Yabuli Ski Resort (胜地)

(23-24九年级下·重庆沙坪坝·阶段练习)In China, the year 2024 is known as long nian in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar. Over a long period of time, it has been called the Year of the Dragon in English. But actually, there are a lot of differences between the Chinese long and the Western dragon.
The Chinese long is made up of parts of some gentle animals, such as a rabbit’s eyes and an ox’s ears. In Chinese mythology, long is able to fly. In addition, it can also spray (喷洒) water from its mouth to create rain.
However, in Western culture, a dragon breathes fire and has the body of a snake and big wings of a bat. What’s more, you will find most of the Western dragons in dark colors because they usually stand for evil (邪恶). As a result, normally at the end of the stories, the evil dragon will be beaten by the superheroes.
What makes such differences In fact, they have something to do with the cultural differences. In Chinese Confucian (儒家的) ideas, kindness and harmony (和谐) are very important. It is our duty to help each other and live a peaceful life. Western culture, on the other hand, prefers individual heroism (个人英雄主义). Whenever something terrible happens, there will be a superhero who is brave enough to stand out, fight against the enemy on his own, and, of course, save the whole world.
In recent years, Chinese have tried to translate long in another way. For example, Zhejiang’s Loong Air has already written long as Loong. One of the reasons is that Loong sounds the same as the Chinese character long. Besides, the letters “oo” in the word Loong look like the two big eyes of the animal, which makes it easier to memorize this word.
Anyway, no matter how long is translated, there is one thing for sure: the Chinese long is different from the Western dragon, and it is a symbol of good luck.
Wish you and your family the best in the Year of Loong!
73.Which of the following is the picture of a Western dragon
A. B. C. D.
74.According to the Chinese Confucian ideas, what might be the reason for long to spray water
A.To fight against the evil dragon. B.To help the farmers in the dry weather.
C.To show its power and ability. D.To make itself the superhero in this world.
75.What makes Loong the new translation of the Chinese character long
①its pronunciation ②its spelling
③its historical background ④its cultural meaning
A.①② B.③④ C.①③ D.②④
76.In which part of a magazine may we find this passage
