It’s known that green tea is a symbol of Chinese culture. Also, it helps to improve health in so many ways that some people think of it as a kind of medicine. Perhaps that is why the Chinese have been using it for more than 4, 000 years to treat all kinds of medical problems. Today, scientists know that there are catechin, caffeine, vitamin C and theanine in green tea that are good for health.
Catechin is helpful for lowering (降低) cancer (癌症) risk. It protects the body from cancer-causing substances (物质) and slows the growth of cancer. Besides fighting cancer, catechin prevents serious health problems like heart disease.
Caffeine causes the heart to beat faster. That’s why it was once thought that caffeine was not very healthy, but studies suggest that there are also good reasons for drinking caffeine. Specifically, caffeine has to do with a lower risk for Parkinson’s disease and liver (肝脏) disease. Yet, caffeine also has some weaknesses. It can influence sleep and make people nervous, so experts advise teenagers not to have more than 100 ml of caffeine a day. This is about the caffeine of a small cup of coffee.
Vitamin C is something that the human body cannot make enough by itself. So we have to get it through food and drink. The vitamin may play a role in improving physical conditions to colds and the flu. Also, it helps people to get well more quickly from those illnesses.
Theanine is another healthy substance found in tea. It has been shown to lower stress, both mental and physical, and increase mind abilities. It is also used for preventing some brain diseases.
As you can see, green tea has many good values. Drinking it may help you stay healthy. Of course, as with any healthy substance, it is important to check if there are any bad influence as well.

①Japan’s population is rapidly aging, with 28 percent of its people aged 65 or older. This means there aren’t enough young people doing jobs that need physical strength (力量) like building things and farming.
②To encourage older people to work on, technology companies in Japan have developed special suits called exoskeleton (外骨骼). These suits can make it easier to lift and carry heavy objects.
③“We have no choice, elderly people need to stay in the workplace,” says Daigo Orihara at Innophys. This company has made a suit called the Every Muscle Suit. It’s light, weighing less than 4 kg. It doesn’t need any batteries (电池) or motors (发动机). When users put it on like a backpack, they pump (抽气) air into it 30 times with a hand pump. Then, the suit can help them lift up to 25 kg easily. The suit costs about 1000 pounds and is used by food companies to help worker lift big boxes, by old people’s homes to help workers lift people in and out of bed, as well as by food factories and building companies.
④Another company, Panasonic, is also developing different exoskeleton suits. Its most important one—the Atoun Model Y—costs 4200 pounds. It uses motors instead of air to work and can last for 8 hours. It weighs 4.5 kg and can help users lift up to 10 kg.
⑤Similarly, Japanese company JTEKT, part of the Toyota group, also began selling an exoskeleton. It’s used to help older workers and also runs on a motor.
⑥As Japan is facing the problems of fewer and fewer workers, they may need to raise the age when people stop working. This means there will be even more need for exoskeleton to help older people keep working.
5．Why do Japanese technology companies develop exoskeleton
A．To take the place of humans with machines.
B．To compete with other countries in technology.
C．To encourage older people to stay in jobs for longer.
D．To help young workers move heavy objects more easily.
6．What can we know from the passage
A．The Every Muscle Suit needs electricity.
B．The Every Muscle Suit can help users lift up to 25 kg.
C．The Every Muscle Suit is heavier than the Atoun Model Y.
D．The Every Muscle Suit is more expensive than the Atoun Model Y.
7．Which is the best structure of this passage
(①=Para.1 ②=Para.2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤=Para.5 ⑥= Para.6)
A． B． C． D．
8．What’s the best title for the passage
A．The Every Muscle Suit B．Japan’s Technology Companies
C．Reasons for Japan’s Aging Challenge D．Exoskeletons: to Solve Japan’s Aging Challenge
（23-24九年级下·重庆巴南·阶段练习）① Some people decide to stop eating meat and begin to accept a vegan (素食) diet because of health reasons. This way of eating avoids all animal products, including meat, fish, milk, eggs and even honey.
② Making the change can be a challenge for people who often have dairy and meat in their diet, according to Dena Champion, a dietitian, an expert on diet and nutrition (营养学), from Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. She added that starting a vegan diet could change your body in certain ways. It might even offer some health benefits.
③ Reduced body weight. Instead of high-fat proteins (高脂肪蛋白) like bacon and beef, vegans get their protein from plant-based sources such as tofu, beans, soy milk, and so on. “This can lead to losing weight. Considering that two-thirds of Americans are overweight, this can have a positive effect on body shape and health”, says Kailey Proctor, a dietitian at St. Joseph Hospital in California.
④ Improved blood sugar control. Because being overweight is a major risk for developing diabetes (糖尿病), losing weight can lower that risk. There was one study from some experts published in the magazine Nutrients in 2018. The experts chose some overweight people with no history of diabetes to switch to a vegan diet. Then they followed them for 16 weeks. Improvements and better effects are seen in those people in controlling blood sugar levels.
⑤ Reduced cancer risk. There’s also the chance to reduce your risk of developing cancer. “Vegan diets, when planned correctly, are also very high in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. These plant-based foods have been shown to reduce the risk of cancer.” says Proctor. We should always focus on consuming whole, fresh foods as much as possible. It’s important to make sure you’re getting enough nutrients for your health.
9．Which one belongs to a vegan diet
A．Meat, fish, milk. B．Eggs, honey, soy milk.
C．Tofu, beans, milk. D．Tofu, beans, soy milk.
10．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The reason for losing weight. B．The reason for being diabetes.
C．A study of getting too much weight. D．A study of controlling blood sugar.
11．What's the structure of the article (P=Paragraph)

（2024·重庆沙坪坝·一模）①Open AI has introduced a new technology that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to create high-quality videos from text descriptions.
②The company showed a few short, vivid and realistic videos, including mammoths (猛犸象) moving forward in a snowy field and people doing everyday things like reading a book or walking down a city street.
③Open AI calls the new system Sora. “Sora is able to generate complex scenes with different kinds of characters, specific types of motion, and correct and true details of the subject and background based on simple text prompts (提示语),” the ChatGPT makers said.
④The new tool isn’t the first of its kind. Other companies, including Google, Meta and AI start-up Runway, have built their own text-to-video AI models. But AI analysts (分析员) said the length and quality of Sora videos went beyond expectation and was outstanding in all of the models.
⑤Sora will first be available to a small group of artists and filmmakers as well as researchers who will try to find out what can be improved about it.
⑥Mutale Nkonde, an analyst, thinks the idea that anyone can easily turn text into video is exciting. She, however, worries that these tools might be put into some hateful information and it may influence the livelihoods (生计) of people in many industries.
⑦Arvind Narayanan, a professor of computer science, said Sora is likely to become a quick and inexpensive way of creating online misinformation. The high-quality videos it produced would make it even harder for people to distinguish (区分) what is real on the Internet.
⑧Putting watermarks on AI-produced videos and images, as many companies have said they would do, might help, according to Siwei Lyu, the director of the Media Forensic Lab at the University at Buffalo. But in many cases, watermarks could be removed or altered (篡改), he said.
13．The examples in Para.2 are to show that ________.
A．Mammoths moving forward in a snowy field is quite a successful video.
B．Sora can produce highly realistic videos according to text descriptions.
C．People enjoys doing everyday reading and walking down a city street.
D．The new technology can only create short, vivid videos on the Internet.
14．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．Sora is the first technology to create videos from detailed text descriptions.
B．Putting watermarks can help people distinguish the reality on the Internet.
C．Anyone who knows about Sora can use Sora to create a video through text now.
D．An actor may risk losing his job one day because of the new technology Sora.
15．What is the attitude of Arvind Narayanan towards Sora
A．Hopeful B．Worried C．Neutral (中立的) D．Positive
16．The structure of the passage may be ________.
A．
B．
C．

（2024·重庆九龙坡·一模）①Between 245 and 66 million years ago, dinosaurs (恐龙) ruled the land. Some groups of dinosaurs evolved (进化) to be able to fly but, until now, experts thought that they never truly took to the water—apart from having a bit of a paddle (赤脚涉水). However, dinosaur bones that were discovered in Africa have now challenged this theory.
②The bones came from a group of dinosaurs called hadrosaurids (鸭嘴龙类). They first appeared in North America during a period known as the late Cretaceous (白垩纪)—between 100 million and 66 million years ago. They eventually spread into Europe and Asia, which were connected to North America at that time.
③However, scientists were confused by the bones appearing in Africa. Today, because the land has moved over many years, Africa is connected to Asia. But in the Cretaceous period, Africa was a huge island separated from Asia and Europe by sea, and it wasn’t connected to South America. So how did the hadrosaurids get there, across hundreds of miles of water, millions of years, ago
④According to a new scientific study, the bones found—from a skull, an arm and a leg—came from three species (物种), one smaller and two larger. In fact, scientists think the skull belongs to a completely new hadrosaurid species, named Minqaria bata. They say the body structure of Minqaria bata was similar to European hadrosaurids.
⑤The study says the only possible conclusion is that the hadrosaurids must have swum to Africa. Dr Nicholas Longrich, one of the authors, said, “The Cretaceous lasted nearly 100 million years. A lot of strange things will happen in that time—including dinosaurs crossing seas.” Dr Longrich described the hadrosaurids in Africa as the most surprising find of his career. He said a hadrosaurid was the last thing he would have imagined finding in Africa.
17．When did the dinosaurs rule the earth according to the passage
A．Between 265 and 100 million years ago. B．Between 245 and 100 million years ago.
C．Between 245 and 66 million years ago. D．Between 100 and 66 million years ago.
18．Which of the following might be the map of the world in the Cretaceous period
A． B．
C． D．
19．What can we infer from the passage
A．Hadrosaurids evolved to be able to fly.
B．Hadrosaurids were found in Asia for the first time.
C．Hadrosaurids were possibly good at swimming.
D．Hadrosaurids in Africa were the most surprising find.
20．Which group of the following words are the most suitable for the mind map

（23-24九年级下·重庆渝中·阶段练习）
McCormick Place in Chicago is the largest convention center (会议中心) in North America. It’s covered in glass, which is enjoyable for humans but deadly for birds. On Oct 5 last year, nearly 1000 birds were found dead after having collided (碰撞) with the building’s glass walls. Most of them died on the spot because of broken bones in their heads.
One key reason is the glass. The birds get fooled by it. During the day, the birds fly toward it as it reflects (反射) a perfect image of the sky and nearby trees. As night falls, the bright light from glass buildings attracts the birds, who are usually guided by the light of the moon and stars. The recent collision happened between the night of Oct 4 and early next morning last year, when the lights in the building were on for a big event.
Every year, nearly one billion birds collide with glass in the US, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service. In China bird collisions are also common. In the autumn of 2022 and the spring of 2023, the National Anti-bird Collisions Action Alliance (全国防鸟撞行动网络) reported a total of 190 cases (案例) of bird collision, which included several kinds of birds listed as second-class protected wildlife (二级保护野生动物).
These sad stories could have been avoided if action had been taken. Many countries and regions have put forward building design ideas to help keep birds safe. These include using less glass in building walls and adding bird-friendly materials and stickers (贴纸) onto the buildings’ walls. Turning off lights at night also helps avoid bird collisions.
Apart from regulations (规定) for bird-friendly building design, we can also do our part to save birds by putting stickers on the glass windows in our homes and closing the curtains (窗帘) at night.
21．What was not the cause the birds’ death at McCormick Place
A．The lights in the building.
B．The weakness of their head bones.
C．The glass on the building.
D．The perfect images of the sky and nearby trees on the glass.
22．What does Paragraph 3 mainly show
A．Bird collisions with glass are common and serious.
B．Bird collisions with glass happen more often in the US.
C．China will take action to deal with bird collisions.
D．Some bird species are endangered because of collisions.
23．Which of the following is useful for us to prevent bird collisions
A．To train birds to avoid glass buildings.
B．To use hard materials to cover the glass buildings.
C．To keep curtains closed in the daytime.
D．To add stickers on the glass windows.
24．What is the best title for this passage
A．Time to Protect the Endangered Birds B．New Building Design Ideas
C．Stop Building ‘Bird Killers’ D．Say No to the Light Pollution
（2023·重庆九龙坡·一模）①ChatGPT is back in news! Open AI, the company behind die popular chatbot（聊天程序）, has now introduced a powerful new language model: GPT-4.
②On March 14, 2023. GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than GPT-3.5. One of its best new advantages is that it can understand pictures. For example, if you show a picture of a phone using the wrong charger（充电器）, GPT-4 can tell why the picture looks strange or funny.
③_____▲____The new language model can create classic games very quickly. It can also change the tone（语气）and style based on what you ask it to do. GPT-4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests, which may worry teachers. According to CNN, GPT-4 did really well on a law school test, with a score in the top 10 percent of test takers. But GPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent.
④ GPT-4 will also see greater use as a tool to power other apps and services. For example, the language learning app Duoling plan to use GPT-4. Their users can learn languages by talking with AI. Another app, Be My Eyes, will use GPT-4 to help blind people better understand the world around them. The government of Iceland also plans to use GPT-4 to protect the Icelandic language.
⑤ There are still problems with the new language model, however, GPT-4 still can’t get completely correct answers, especially with newer information after September 2021.

（23-24九年级下·重庆开州·阶段练习）①On a clear night, go outside and look for the moon. Do the same thing again a week later, and the moon you see will look different. So why does it always seem to change its shape
②Sometimes, the moon is a bright disk that lights up the night sky. Other times, it is just a white sliver. Sometimes, the moon can be seen during the day. Other times, it can not be seen. These different kinds of visibility (可见度) are called the phases of the moon (月相).
③They appear because the sun, the moon and the Earth are always moving. One thing that almost never changes is that the sun lights one side of the moon.
④A lunar eclipse (月食) is the only time the sun can’t face the moon. This appears when the sun, the moon and the Earth are in a straight line with the Earth in the middle. As the moon travels into the darkness of the Earth’s shadow (影子), it seems as though all or part of it disappears.
⑤Many scientists believe that the moon was once part of the Earth. Millions of years ago, something hit into the Earth and broke off a large part of the planet. Gravity (地球引力) kept this huge block from going away into space, and it became our moon.

（21-22八年级上·浙江·期中）It is often said that dogs are “man’s best friends” But for some children in China, this idea has taken on an even deeper meaning.
Wu Qi, a dog trainer (养师) in Shanghai, started the Paw for Heal (PFH) program in China about eight years ago. The program trains dogs for animal-assisted therapy (动物辅助治疗). These animals help elderly people feel calm and less stressed. They also help people with mental illnesses.
In Shanghai, the dogs have been trained to help kids with autism (自闭症). Artistic children are easily confused or scared by their environments. But when the PFH dogs are around, they feel much calmer.
Pet owners can train their pets to become therapy dogs through PFH. Although this training is difficult (only 20 percent of dogs end up passing the program), it also helps a lot of people.
“She (my dog) makes me happy every day, and I think she can bring happiness to other people in need as well,” pet owner Wang rub said in a report by Sixth Tone.
Animal-assisted therapy is new to China. But Wu has high hopes for the future, as he is now working together with a Scottish (苏格兰的) organization to improve his program.
“Through learning from the European team, China may shorten the time to catch up with Western countries in this field (领域) by several decades.” Wu said in the Sixth Tone report.
33．What does the underlined part in Paragraph I actually refer to
A．Dogs are man’s best friends. B．Dogs can play with kids.
C．Dogs can help sick kids feel better. D．Dogs are smarter than other animals.
34．What does the Paw for Heal program do
A．It trains dog trainers. B．It trains therapy dogs.
C．It takes care of elderly people. D．It cures mental illnesses.
35．How is the Paw for Heal program doing
A．Autistic kids don’t like the PFH dogs.
B．Pet owners don’t want their pets to be trained,
C．Only one-fifth of dogs can pass the program.
D．About 20 percent of dogs end up dying.
36．What do we know about Wu Qi
A．He is the first Chinese person to write for Sixth Tone.
B．He is working for a Scottish university.
C．He does not agree that animals should be used for the therapy.
D．He thinks China needs to improve its animal-assisted therapy.

①Have you ever been on a plane and felt that sudden bump (碰撞), causing your stomach to drop That’s turbulence (气流), and it’s a normal part of air travel. Turbulence can be scary, but here’s something that can reduce your fears.
②Turbulence can be caused by three things: mountains, jet streams, and storms. Air forms waves (波) when it meets with mountains. These “mountain waves” can break up into turbulence. Jet streams, fast moving winds high above the earth, can also cause turbulence. Storms are the most common cause. The fast growth of storm clouds pushes air away, creating waves that can turn into turbulence. Each of these can cause “clear air turbulence”, or CAT, the least noticeable type. It’s hard to predict, and it can happen suddenly.
③Part of the nervousness around turbulence is the fear of the aircraft failing (飞机故障). It’s a natural feeling, especially when you once had the experience of watching a wing bend (弯曲) in a seemingly impossible way. “Before flying, everything on wing bending has been tested. In fact, a little wing bending during turbulence is a good thing, as it shows the plane is able to deal with the stress,” explains Marilyn Smith, an engineer at Georgia Tech.
④If you are a nervous flyer, there are a few ways to plan for and deal with turbulence during the flight.
⑤“Turbulence is the worse at the back of the plane and it’s usually the most serious in the mid-afternoon,” says Heather Poole, a flight attendant (空乘) for 21 years. So, try to take a morning flight and sit at the front of the plane.” She also advises talking to the flight attendants if you are feeling nervous, as they can offer help.
⑥The fear mostly comes from losing a sense of control. Learn more about turbulence and enjoy your flight next time!
37．Which is NOT true according to the passage
A．Turbulence is very common during an air travel.
B．“Clear air turbulence” is hard for people to notice.
C．Storms cause turbulence because of the growth of clouds.
D．Wing bending in turbulence means possibility of aircraft failing.
38．What can we infer from the passage
A．Only in stormy weather do planes meet with turbulence.
B．Flight attendants can help the passengers with fears from turbulence.
C．By learning how turbulence happens and what you can do, you will feel better.
D．You can try to take a morning flight and sit at the front if you are a nervous flyer.
39．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．Turbulence: Its Relation to Weather B．Turbulence: Its Risk to Flight Safety
C．Is It Necessary to Fear Turbulence D．Is It Possible to Get Away from Turbulence
40．If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best
A．①②;③;④⑤⑥ B．①;②③④⑤;⑥
C．①;②③④;⑤⑥ D．①②;③④;⑤⑥
（23-24九年级下·重庆沙坪坝·阶段练习）①When you meet with animals, do you wonder what they’re thinking Seeing a newborn lamb or a cute puppy might stir up (激起) happy feelings in us, but what are they thinking Does the look on their face and how they behave show how they’re feeling-or are they feeling nothing at all
②Humans have different and mixed feelings, but it’s hard to tell what’s going on inside the heads of animals, mainly because they can’t express their feelings in words. Perhaps it’s pets that we think we understand most—as they are the animals we spend a lot of time with and therefore get to know best. Some of us own dogs because they are good companions (陪伴). We might even think they love us, although love could just happen between humans.
③Professor Bard said, “We have a few studies now that actually show that some pet dogs will have the ability to share their owner’s feelings when he—but not a stranger—pretends (假装) to cry.” This kind of ability of pet cats, however, hasn’t been found out yet.
④Other wild animals might have feelings too. Giraffes and whales, for example, are known to experience sadness when someone in their group dies. They are also believed to experience other feelings. Their happiness is now taken into consideration more. And in the UK, a new law means all crustaceans (甲壳纲动物) will be recognized as animals which are able to see or feel things through senses. Research is beginning to show they experience a wide range of feelings.
⑤Writing for BBC Future website, Zaria said, “Wild animals can be positive, selfish or frightened just like any pet would.”
⑥If we understand the deep feeling of the animals, this should make us question the fact of being present of zoos and slaughterhouses (屠宰场) around the world, and rethink those systems.
⑦Although studies show that all animals have feelings, what is not clear is whether they feel the same way as us.
41．The main reason why it’s not easy to understand how animals are feeling is that _________.
A．they think in a different way B．we don’t know anything about them
C．animals can’t speak D．humans don’t really love them or care for them
42．We can infer from the passage that _________.
A．whether animals are big or small, they have feelings
B．dogs and cats may feel the happiness of their owners when they laugh
C．animals have feelings just because we spend much time with them
D．people may kill crabs (螃蟹) without causing their pain in the future
43．What’s the best title of the passage
A．Are Zoos Good for Animals B．Do Animals Have Feelings
C．Should We Treat Animals as Friends D．Can Animals Understand Humans
44．The structure of the passage may be _________.

We are taking less waste from developed countries. From January 2018, China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country. And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made. Anyone who breaks the law will be punished.
China also tries to put waste into good use. One example is the waste electricity factories. They burn waste to make electricity in a green way. No harmful gases or water will get into the environment.
The Chinese government is encouraging people to do waste sorting(分类). Cities like Shanghai, Chongqing and Beijing have their own sorting systems. More will join them soon. As President Xi Jinping said during a visit to Shanghai, waste sorting is a new fashion(时尚). More and more people are forming the habit of separating their waste.

（23-24九年级下·重庆沙坪坝·开学考试）①Have you ever been to the Dead Sea, one of the most famous natural wonders in the world Have you ever thought about why it is called Dead Sea Does it hold life Can people swim there With all these questions in your mind, let’s know something about it!
②The Dead Sea is actually a lake in the Middle East. At four hundred meters below sea level, it’s the lowest point on Earth. It lies between the borders of Jordan, Israel, and the West Bank. It’s about 80 kilometers long, 11 kilometers wide at its widest point, and 377 meters deep at its deepest. The lake is surrounded by hot, dry desert on all sides.
③Since it’s in a hot desert, water evaporates (蒸发) faster than the lake is refilled. And the area is lower than all the land around, the water can never flow back out, it can only evaporate. And that’s what happens—water continually evaporates. In fact, so much water is evaporating from the Dead Sea, it often looks like there’s a cloud of fog hanging over the lake. Anyway, as the water evaporates, it leaves behind the salt and minerals (矿物质). The water in the Dead Sea is almost six times saltier than ocean water!
④Because the Dead Sea is so salty, almost nothing can live there, except for bacteria and one type of algae. Any fish or freshwater animal that gets washed into the lake dies almost immediately. And the shores are covered in thick salt crystals (结晶), so animals can’t even live near the lake either. That’s why it’s called Dead Sea.
⑤Since it’s so salty, why do people go there to cover themselves from head to toe with its mud Actually, those minerals are supposed to be really good for your skin. No wonder lots of spas and health resorts have been built in the area. Though the water in the Dead Sea is so salty, it is totally safe for people. You can even go swimming there if you want, although it’s pretty hard to swim because all that salt makes it much easier to float! It’s really unbelievable.

（23-24九年级下·重庆彭水·阶段练习）Many drivers are not very clear about the roads around islands. Especially, the navigation tells the exit number, which makes it easy to get drivers wrong. However, now you don’t have to worry about these complicated (复杂的) roads anymore. Lane level navigation (车道级导航) based on the Beidou satellite system (北斗系统) will soon be popular around China.
The so called lane level navigation is to use high correctness technology to show the real road pared with past navigation, lane level navigation can provide exact road guidance in some complicated parts to help drivers choose the best lane.
In January of 2023, an online map officially introduced the enhanced version (加强版) of lane level navigation, which helps make good use of the Beidou satellite system more deeply. It greatly improves the speed of receiving information and giving answers and the accuracy of lane level positioning.
In the new version of the online map, the lane level navigation can be used on all kinds of roads. The new version has a function(功能): It can guide clearly where to go in the complicated crossings.
In large cities, overhead bridges (高架桥) are easy to cause driving mistakes. So how does the lane level navigation realize According to the introduction, lane level navigation uses the Beidou satellite system to accurately receive signals (信号). And after careful study, it can realize the positioning accuracy and guidance.
For the driverless industry, this map is a good technology, which makes it safer and more widely used earlier.

（23-24九年级下·重庆渝中·阶段练习）Have you ever walked into a room and realized you couldn’t remember what you were looking for We seem to do this more when we are thinking of a few things at once or doing two things at the same time. Some people call this dual-tasking.
Have you ever crossed the road while chatting to a friend at the same time, or walked across a room while answering a phone That is dual-tasking. Everyone does it and we tend to get better at it as we get older and learn new skills.
But while our brain is a truly amazing computer—more powerful than any real computer, it can only use so much mental energy at one time. Think of your brain as a power station, providing electricity for a number of cities. If some cities need a lot of energy (by having all their lights on), other cities would have less power to work with. There’s only so much electricity to go around.
For young kids, dual-tasking is possible. However, some studies suggest that it can be a little more difficult to younger kids compared with older kids. Why The power station in their brain is a little smaller and is not producing quite the same amount of energy as older kids.
So why do I sometimes forget to say something before I say it
The answer is that you are likely to have been dual-tasking just before speaking. It might be because you were thinking about the words you wanted to say and something else at the same time. Sometimes your brain just can’t do two complicated (复杂的) things at once. You may not have enough mental energy at that moment.
Forgetting things is normal for everyone and can happen when you are doing too many things. When it happens to you, don’t be nervous!
65．According to the writer, our brain is like a/an ________.
A．old man B．light C．little kid D．computer
66．How does the writer lead in the topic
A．By listing numbers. B．By comparing the facts. C．By asking questions. D．By making a survey.
67．The underlined word dual-tasking probably means “________” in the passage.

68．What will be most probably talked about next
A．The ways to communicate with others. B．The ways to deal with forgetting things.
C．The ways to make your brain stronger. D．The ways to have a healthy mind.
（23-24九年级下·重庆沙坪坝·阶段练习）① Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) doctors and Western doctors treat patients in different ways. Western doctors check their patients’ basic physical condition, including weight, blood pressure and temperature. They look for special signs of disease and give the correct treatment. However, TCM doctors examine other things. They are interested in a patient’s physical condition, as well as other sides, such as their spiritual state.
② TCM didn’t use to be supported by most Westerners. However, TCM was included in the new version (版本) of the international classification of Diseases, which was published by the World Health Organization in 2019, Nature magazine reported.
③ This was the first time for TCM to be included in the International Classification of Diseases, which serves as “the international standard for reporting diseases and health conditions”, according to China Daily. Ryan Abbott at the Center for East-West Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, US, said this could be good for TCM.
④ TCM has seen some growth in other countries, with a number of famous people using it. For example, during the Rio 2016 Olympic games, US swimmer Michael Phelps was seen with circular (圆形的) bruises (淤伤) on his body. The bruises were caused by cupping (拔火罐), a traditional Chinese medicinal practice that has been around for more than 2,000 years.
⑤ Besides the above, in 2015, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her discovery of artemisinin (青蒿素), a drug that can treat malaria (疟疾). She said she was inspired by TCM.
⑥ However, TCM still has a long way to go. For example, there is still not enough evidence to show how it works exactly, as well as some other things. It hasn’t been accepted by many people overseas.
⑦ Some say that TCM should be together with modern scientific methods to make it more acceptable to people outside of China. “We need to use modern technology and ways of thinking to explain to the world how TCM works on special diseases and to show that it can treat diseases,” Lu Chuanjian, vice-president of the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine, said.
69．How does the writer begin the passage
A．By listing numbers. B．By giving an example.
C．By comparing the facts. D．By raising questions.
70．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．The Center for East-West Medicine.
B．The international standard
C．The University of California.
D．TCM included in the International Classification of Diseases.
71．What is the purpose of the example of Michael Phelps
A．To show the rising popularity of TCM in other countries.
B．To tell us how serious his bruises were.
C．To spread the traditional Chinese medicinal practice.
D．To show us how dangerous it is to take part in the Olympic Games.

（23-24九年级下·重庆沙坪坝·阶段练习）①We often see space exploration (探索) updates in the news nowadays. This is great for those who want a future like in science fiction movies. On the other hand, some believe space exploration is not necessary because there are a few reasonable disadvantages to it. So, read further to see what the space exploration advantages and disadvantages are.
②It’s true that space exploration technologies are costly and consume many resources (资源). Only sending space exploration satellites (卫星) to space costs at least $40 million each time and can go for as much as $400 million. Analyzing some space exploration facts, we realize that space exploring costs a lot. While the UN says $30 billion could end world hunger, NASA is being offered a lot every year. And this is a good argument for those who are against space exploration.
③While space exploration is highly important for learning about who we are, some are worried about what it can do to humanity. Countries can use their satellites to collect information about other countries they’re fighting against. And this can lead to a worse situation between countries and even wars.
④Another problem that space exploration brings is that it causes a great danger for astronauts. NASA mentions in an article how damaging cosmic radiation (宇宙辐射) is for the human body because it can damage the nervous system both badly and in the long run. Besides, cosmic radiation sickness causes extreme tiredness, sickness, anorexia, and vomiting. From this point of view, space exploration does put our astronauts at great risks. However, preventive measures (预防措施) are taken, and their health is kept in check through intensive training and daily checkups.
⑤Although all the observations mentioned above make great points, space exploration still has more benefits than bad influence. Thanks to space exploration, our technologies have developed a lot. Moreover, by exploring space, we can discover new resources that we could use to better our lives here on the earth. And another thing is certain as well: we couldn’t build a better future for our children without space exploration.
73．What is the purpose of Paragraph 2
A．To advise NASA to spend less money.
B．To raise more money for space exploration.
C．To show space exploration is highly important.
D．To show the disadvantage of space exploration.
74．What does “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．The use of satellites for collecting information.
B．The high cost of space exploration technologies.
C．The space exploration technologies and progress.
D．The importance of space exploration technologies.
75．Which idea would the writer most probably agree with according to the passage
A．Space exploration may waste too much money.
B．Space exploration may help countries win the wars.
C．Space exploration may solve world hunger problems.
D．Space exploration may lead to new discoveries in science.
