（23-24九年级·上海·一模）Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答下列问题):
If you wake up with a cough and a sore throat, you can go to the doctor. But when the soil is sick, it is not able to tell anyone! This is the concept that made the EPA take action. They formed a group of professional soil doctors to monitor the health of dirt.
Healthy soil is essential because it allows plants and animals to grow well. Healthy soil also prevent poisonous chemicals, holds water and gives some wastes time to be destroyed. But its ability to do these things is not unlimited. That’s when a soil doctor is needed.
As the world’s economies and certain industries grow, so does soil pollution. Sources of this pollution include waste from factories and farms and household garbage as well as agricultural waste. Water often carries poisonous chemical from this waste into the fields where they work their way into the soil. These chemicals can cause plants to produce food that is harmful or prevents crops from growing at all.
People need to be on the lookout for soil pollution to protect themselves and others. In 1984 in Taoyuan County, a chemical company let out wastewater into a rice field. In order to keep people from eating the poisonous rice, all of the crops had to be destroyed.
In situations where soil is polluted, the first step soil doctors take is to stop the farming of the land. The EPA then treats the soil so that it can be used again. Some types of treatment take place onsite in the field and some are offsite. Eventually, crops can be planted again in the soil, but it could be years before that happens.
Soil doctors can treat “sick” soil, but they prefer to prevent soil pollution. They try to manage the risk of pollution by testing dirt regularly. Soil doctors play an important role in preventing poisonous chemicals from harming plants, animals and people. But ordinary people can do their part by _____________________.
1．What action did the EPA take to help soil
2．When does soil need to see a doctor
3．What usually causes the soil pollution
4．Without the help of soil doctors, what may happen
5．Soil treatment is time consuming, isn’t it
6．What responsibility should ordinary people take for keeping soil healthy Complete the sentence in the last paragraph.

One day on the street, Mr. Wilson met a young man, who asked him, “Do you remember me ” Mr. Wilson said, “No.” Then the young man told him he was his student and now he was a teacher as well. Mr. Wilson asked the young man at what time he decided to be a teacher.
The young man then told him the following story:
When I was a little boy, I used to be very quiet. At that time my parents were busy with their work. I had to live with my grandparents. It seemed that nobody cared much about me.
One day, a friend of mine, Martin, came in with a nice new watch. It was shiny brightly in the Sun and I knew I wanted it. I took it out of Martin’s pocket.
Shortly later, Martin noticed that his watch was missing and immediately told you about it. You told the class that whoever took it, he should return it. I didn’t give it back. You closed the door and told us all to stand up and form a circle. You were going to search our pockets. However, you asked us to close our eyes because you would only look for his watch if we all had our eyes closed.
You searched my pocket and found the watch there. You kept searching everyone’s pockets and when you were done, you said, “We have the watch.” You never said who took the watch to save my dignity (尊严) forever. But it was the greatest shame of my life. You never said anything. You never shouted at me or took me aside to give me a lesson. I received your message clearly.
“Do you remember this story, Mr. Wilson ” The old man answered, “Yes. I remember the situation with the missing watch. I was looking for it in everyone’s pocket. I didn’t remember you because I closed my eyes, too. You know, young man, I gave knowledge and I also did what a teacher would do for students.”

（23-24九年级·上海长宁·一模）根据以下内容回答问题。
A lot of students from different countries are talking about how schools and parents connect now. Here is a part of their talks.
In my school, parent-school communication is mostly done through emails. This lets parents know what is happening at their child’s school. To improve parent-teacher communication, Parent Breakfasts are organized at the beginning of the school year, and it enables parents to meet the head teacher and subject teachers of their child this year. Parent Evenings also take place each term to let parents know their child’s progress in school. There is not a parent committee ( 委员会) at my school but parents can be part of the Friends group. They can help organize school events. Peter from America At my school, parents and teachers keep in touch in many ways. One of them is the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA). The PTA is a voluntary organization that brings parents and teachers together to discuss and deal with problems with school education. The PTA usually meets once or twice a term and lets parents know their children’s teachers better. Another way of communication is through parent-teacher meetings. They let parents and teachers meet face-to-face to discuss a student’s progress and performance. Lily from China
Communications go both ways here, allowing both the school and parents to discuss concerns or ask questions. These meetings are planned one-on-one for privacy. They serve to avoid making students or parents feel
uncomfortable if the school needs to talk about certain problems, such as a student’s performance. While meetings can be planned at any time, the most common are the end-of-term reports. Each term has 8-10 weeks for students to attend school. Their teachers use the information collected to provide feedback to families in about 10-15 minutes. Students often attend these meetings, too. Jack from Australia
13．Parent-School communication is mostly done through emails in Peter’s school, is it
14．What activities are organized in Peter’s school to improve parent-teacher communication
15．How often does the PTA bring parents and teachers together
16．Why are some meetings planned for one-on-one for privacy
17．What does the underlined word “feedback” probably mean in Jack’s article
18．Which way of the parent-teacher communication do you like best Please give reason(s).

SIT WITH US
You’re at your new school. It’s lunchtime, but you don’t have anyone to sit with. You want to join someone at their table, but you’re not sure if they’re friendly. What do you do One student’s solution was to create an app.
Natalie Hampton from California, USA, knows what it feels like to be alone at a new school. She found it difficult to make new friends and had to search for a new table at lunch every day. If she , she felt . But if she asked to join someone and got rejected[1], she felt embarrassed. Her solution was to create a lunch-planning app to help students like her find people to have lunch with.
The app—called Sit With Us—is simple. If a student is having lunch in the afternoon, they can create an invitation. Other students can open the app and accept that invitation. They can then use the app to decide when and where to meet. This allows students to make plans online instead of face-to-face. This is the reason it works so well: it reduces the risk[2] of rejection, and the embarrassment that goes along with it.
Natalie is pleased with the way people are responding to her app-especially those who suffer from bullying[3]. Soon after the launch[4] o f her app, she won an award for it. She also appeared in many news stories.
Natalie was even asked to speak at a United Nations Youth Assembly[5]. In her talk, Natalie wanted people to know that you don’t have to do something big to change lives. Sometimes, a simple thing—like having a friend to enjoy lunch with—can make all the difference.

（23-24九年级·上海嘉定·一模）It was over two months before Christmas when 9-year-old Mary told her father that she wanted a new bike. Her old Barbi bike was too old and it often needed repairing. As Christmas came nearer, her dream for a bike seemed to disappear, for she didn’t mention it again.
Then much to our surprise, on December 24th, she said that she really wanted a bike as the Christmas present more than anything else. We didn’t know what to do. It was too late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing presents for our children, parents and also friends till midnight. So there was no time to buy the “right bike” for our little girl. Thinking that we might in this way make our child unhappy on Christmas, we felt guilty and sad.
Suddenly my husband came up with an idea. “What if I make a little bike out of the clay and write a note that she could trade in (交换) the model bike for a real one after Christmas ” So he spent the next five hours working on a small clay bike. On Christmas morning, we were very excited and waited for Mary to open the little box with the beautiful red and white bike and the note. She opened the box and read the note loudly. She looked at me and said, “So, does this mean I can trade in this beautiful bike that Daddy made for me. I prefer to keep it rather than get a real one.” At that moment we thought we would have moved the God to buy her every bike on earth.

（23-24九年级·上海浦东新·一模）Inadequate drinking water and sanitation, indoor air pollution and poor living conditions, and accidents injuries and poisonings: these are just three of the causes of the nearly 3 million deaths suffered every year by children under age five due to environmental dangers.
1.3 million children under five in developing countries died from diseases caused by unsafe water supply, sanitation and hygiene each year. According to a publication by WHO, 60% of the 2.2 million deaths a year in children under five caused by acute respiratory infections (急性呼吸道感染) are associated with indoor air
pollution, the lack of adequate heating and/or other unhealthy living conditions. Accidental injuries—including road traffic accidents, drowning, burns and poisonings—are the cause of over 400,000 deaths per year in children under five.
Yet, until recently, no specific efforts had been made to deal with the environmental dangers which specifically affect children. Children are not “little adults”: they are in a constant process of growth and development, and they are easily affected by the harmful substances in their environments.
Research suggests that over 40% of the global burden of disease due to environmental risk factors may fall on children under five, even though they make up about 10% of the world’s population. The WHO will focus on the main environmental threats to children’s health and development, and on a range of measures to reduce environmental impacts on children as well as children’s exposure to lead, mercury, poisons and other chemicals.
In Bangladesh and India, for example, arsenic (砷) in drinking water is a lasting problem. In some countries, concern exists about exposure to lead and any by exposure to waste sites. WHO plans on launching pilot projects to help countries assess (评估) and improve children’s environmental health in the near future.
The environment if places besides the home—above all schools, and workplaces—can be made safer for children. Schools are of particular significance, as a healthy and safe school environment can help protect children from health danger, abuse and exclusion and can foster learning.
“A commitment to child health means that dangers should be reduced in all places where children spend significant parts of their day, including the roads and forms of transport they use to get to and from these places,” said an official of WHO’s Department responsible for Environmental Health.

44．Specific efforts have been made to deal with the environmental dangers which have effect on children, have they
45．What will the WHO focus on to help the children
46．Environmental threats to children include arsenic in drinking water, and waste sites.

（23-24九年级·上海浦东新·一模）Liu Yiran, 18, remembers clearly how her schoolmates bullied (欺凌) her.
Liu went to a high school mainly for Chinese students in southern California, US. On March 30 last year, about ten of her schoolmates took her to a park nearby their school. There, they forced Liu to take off her clothes, hit her and burnt her with cigarettes. It went on for more than five hours, and it was all because of disagreements over a dinner bill, their hometowns and a boy, reported the Los Angeles Times.
When this reached the public, people were shocked. And now the bullies will get punishments from US laws. Three of the bullies, who are 19, were sent to prison on Feb 17. Zhai Yunyao, the main bully, faces 13 years in prison. Yang Yuhan will get 10 years and Zhang Xinlei will get six years.
The three students were “deeply shocked” after learning this. They thought they were just playing a trick on Liu and would only get punished by their school.
This just shows how ignorant (无知) Chinese students are about US laws and bullying, wrote China Daily.
In China, bullying will only be punished by law when it causes very serious physical harm. However, there is other bullying, such as lighter physical or even emotional harm. But people don’t pay enough attention to school bullying, taking it only as small fights between students, according to TangJun, from Renmin University of China.
Thus, education about bullying is important, said legaldaily. com, as well as more specific laws and anti-bullying (反欺凌) school programs. “Don’t think school bullying is uncommon, and then it may be solved,” it wrote.

Dear Jordan, I learned from the Internet that you are a young activist (活动家). What you did was so inspiring! Now I want to go out and do something to make a change in my community and become an activist myself! So I wonder: What does it take to be an activist How did you start Can I become one Yours, Carolina
Dear Carolina, Anyone can become an activist if there’s an issue they feel strongly about. I started speaking up about disabilities because I know what it was like to have one and to be treated differently because of it. When I was little, I wondered why toy figures didn’t look like me. So at the age of ten, I wrote to ask a big company to do something about this problem. I spoke about it on the news, and I even did a TED Talk about it. After more than a year of using my voice, I got to work with a design team on a Barbie doll that uses a prosthetic leg (假肢). That experience showed me that the more I spoke up, the more changes I might be able to make. Sometimes, being an activist means stepping up and speaking up in a more public way than you normally would. Taking risks is a big part of being an activist. Your age doesn’t matter. I know so many kids who are fighting for change. Mari Copeny, 13, is making sure people have safe drinking water. Haven Coleman and Taylor Richardson are both teenagers. Haven is raising awareness of climate change, and Taylor is making sure that girls around the world are involved in STEAM education. If you really care about an issue, learn as much as you can about it and find creative ways to speak up. Maybe it’s writing a letter to the editor of your local paper. Maybe it’s creating a club at your school or in your neighborhood. You can work with other kids to unite your voices so as to be able to make a change. You don’t have to do something as big as creating a new toy or speaking in front of a crowd. If you help even one person learn and change, you’ve made a big difference! Yours, Jordan Reeves
55．Carolina wrote a letter to Jordan, didn’t she
56．What did Carolina want to do
57．Why did Jordan Reeves start speaking up about disabilities
58．What did Jordan learn from producing a new toy
59．Why does Jordan list the examples of Mari Copeny, Haven Coleman and Taylor Richardson
60．What change would you like to make most in your school or community How do you plan to make it
