Unit 12 Life is full of the unexpected 阅读理解和短文综合填空 专题练 2024--2025学年初中英语人教版九年级全册
一、阅读理解
Zhang Ming, a college graduate from Shandong, created a 9-page"WeChat guide"(微信指南) to parents. With drawings and simple words, the step-by-step guide explains how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls. "My parents are getting old. They need an easy way to learn how to use technology,"Zhang said.
Zhang’s experience is common nowadays. In the world, 40% of parents learn about new technology, including computers, mobile, Internet and social media(社交媒体), from their children, according to a survey from the International Communication Association. Parents teach their kids almost everything when they are young. Now for the first time, the teachers become the students and the students become the teachers.
The change of roles comes from the rapid development of society and technology, according to Zhou Xiaohong, a professor from Nanjing University. Zhou said the Internet and other forms of media give children more ways to get information. So, it’s possible that children know more than their parents do these days.
According to the China Internet Network Information Center, in China, 56. 7% of Internet users and 67.2% of social media users are under the age of 30. Young people usually act as a link between their family and the new environment. But when they teach their parents new technologies, parents can connect to the new world by themselves.
In Zhang Ming’s eyes, teaching his parents about WeChat brings him closer to his parents. "People can communicate more by using new technology. Why should we keep our parents out "said Zhang.

二、任务型阅读
English is the first language of several countries.However,it has many differences.British,American,and South African English are all spoken differently.In many English language courses,the British and American differences are taught.One is not more correct than the other,but there are important differences between the two.
Probably the biggest difference between American and British English is the vocabulary.Different words and expressions are used to talk about the same thing.For example,in the United States,people throw their garbage into the trash can.In England,people throw their rubbish into the dustbin.In Britain,people take a lift to the fifth floor.In America,people take an elevator.
American and British grammar can be also different.For example,speakers of British English will ask “What did you do at the weekend?”,but Americans usually say “on the weekend.” In the United States people usually say “I've gotten a new car.”,but in the UK they will say “I've just got a new car.”
The pronunciation in American and British English is also different,even when the spelling is the same.The word “tomato”—pronounced “tomahto” in British English—is a classic example of this.
Vocabulary,grammar,and pronunciation are three ways English is different in different parts of the world.Learning all these is not easy,so English learners should just know that they are always there.
