Passage1
Heritage (遗产) is traditional customs, history and beliefs. We use the word “heritage” in many different ways. People talk about their family heritage, city heritage and national heritage.
Today, heritage is changing. The Internet connects people around the world. In many ways this is a good thing, because we can learn about the heritage of other countries, and we can show our own heritage to the world. However, some people worry that traditional heritage is disappearing. In many ways, countries are becoming more and more alike(相似的). In most countries around the world, you can find KFC, Nike shoes, Starbucks coffee, American movies and so on. Some people think this is a good change, and others don't like it. You can decide whether or not it's a good thing.
However, everyone wants to protect traditional heritage, and sometimes this is hard. For example, when a new KFC opens in your city, a traditional restaurant might have to close.
That is why heritage protection is so important. Heritage protection is a simple thought. It means keeping your country's or your city's heritage alive. People do this in many ways. The biggest part of heritage protection is probably preserving (保护)old buildings. Some suggestions of heritage protection are making sure your kids speak your traditional language, and teaching knowledge about heritage to them.

Passage3
Walking around the city, you will see girls wearing hanfu on the underground or people wearing T-shirt with Chinese characters in the streets. A new trend (潮流) is getting popular in China. It's guochao or China-Chic. Guochao adds traditional Chinese culture into products, and it shows the rise of China's native fashion.
Guochao got people's attention in 2018. Before that, the market was controlled by foreign companies. There were few Chinese brands.

It quickly caught people’ s attention at home and abroad. And it created amazing sales.
Later, many Chinese brands, from food, drinks and clothing to mobile phones and cars, started to add Chinese culture into their products. Even the film and music industries made every effort to add Chinese styles.
These brands got what they wanted. Young people gradually shifted their attention from Western culture to guochao. They accepted it with pleasure. What's more, they started to develop an interest in traditional Chinese art and literature. Now they wear traditional clothes, practice Chinese calligraphy (书法) and play Chinese musical instruments. Some of them are working together to spread Chinese culture to people around the world.

Passage8
We' re sitting too much and it's dangerous. Most Americans spend more than seven hours sitting every day, and the more you sit, the weaker your body will be.Fortunately, there are simple changes you can make during the day anywhere, even at the workplace, to improve your health.
●Park a few blocks away from the office each morning and walk to work.
This allows you to start off your mornings actively and be ready to take on the work. If you take the bus, get off one stop earlier to take some light exercise before 8a. m.
●Get up and move around the office once every 60~90 minutes.
When you' re busy with work, it's easy to forget the time. Set the alarm to remind you to get up and take a walk around the office. You can use this time to fill up your water bottle or go to the bathroom.
●Ask questions and discuss questions face to face.
Go to your co-worker's office to discuss questions face to face, rather than send an e-mail every time you have a question. This gives you a good excuse to move.

Passage9
DIY which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK.
English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK——“An Englishman’ s home is his castle”. Huge numbers of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful“castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economy becoming worse at present, many people cannot afford a big house. They are looking at how they can make their house better with less money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture. People need to get together pieces of furniture with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can't understand the instructions.Sometimes the instructions are very simple but the furniture itself is difficult to build.One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best ideas, many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don't care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.
Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY. All in all, it is a very good and suitable thing for many people.

That year, I was a Junior 2 student. Falling off the stairs hurt me in the head.Almost everyone thought I was dead. But they were wrong. However, it was difficult to get back to normal (正常的) life. I had to leave school and learn everything,walking, talking, and yes, maths.
To help me with that task, Mrs. Pillar volunteered to come to the hospital and later to my house once a week. We began with basic maths skills. As time passed by, I made progress.
I remembered very vividly how she came to my home on Sundays, sat with me at the kitchen table, and threw different coins on the table. She asked me to show her 38cents, 17 cents, 63 cents. It was challenging, but she also made it fun.
After a year and a half, I had progressed a lot, both in body and mind, to return to school. Seven years later, I graduated from the University of Texas at the top of my class.

Now it was my turn to help her. Mrs. Pillar lay in bed, unable to speak and knew anybody around. I pulled some coins out of my pocket, dropped them on her bed, and asked her to show me 12 cents.

She made progress every day and was moved out of ICU(重症监护室) and finally out of hospital.
One day, I called to wish her a Happy New Year. She spoke into the phone excitedly, “Happy New Year to you and your family, Michael. Thank you for everything you' ve done for me.” I quickly said, “Thank you for everything you' ve done for me.”

Passage11
When I was in high school, I worked part-time helping Dad sell fruits and vegetables at a market. One day, as I was preparing the fruits, a little boy came by with his mom and sister. He was about eight years old, and the girl, five or six. They were looking at the fruits in front of me. I heard the kids say to their mom(in French),“They' re good!” I knew it was French because I could speak and understand it.
Then I noticed how the mom was picking the fruits. At first I thought she was really looking at the fruits because she was facing them. But then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out. And she often asked her son if it looked okay, but looked above where his face was. Putting what I saw together, I was sure she was blind.
Both of the kids continued to help their mom pick out the fruits. The son made sure the fruits were not obviously bad, and the daughter handed them to her mom. The woman then felt each one and smiled, and the daughter would put them into their basket. The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out.
Their smile and gentle manners moved me in a way that never happened before.It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help. Most kids that age would be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves, instead of helping their mom pick out fruits as the two kids did.
It was great to witness the moment, but not so great because I didn't tell the mom how beautiful her children were in their language. This is what I regret to this day.

Passage12
On Monday,I stopped my car in front of my daughter Juliet's middle school. She jumped in the front seat, feeling down. She asked me to help her study for her science test.
“Dad, I need to memorize a unit about the Reproductive Cycle of Plants. And I can hardly make it.”
“You know memorizing seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in tests if you work on trying to understand the material.”
Juliet was open to my advice. It was Monday afternoon and we had two nights to study before the test on Wednesday. I suggested a plan. “Tomorrow night, you are going to teach the material to me. Tonight, read the unit. Prepare to teach.”
Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I was determined to do it.Studies show teaching somebody else is a very useful way to learn. Even if you don't do the teaching, the act of preparing to teach leads to more learning than just trying your best to memorize the material.
On Tuesday afternoon, Juliet sat down with her Science book facing me said,“Okay Dad, let's study.” I wanted her to teach me. But false starts happened. I couldn't be too hard on her. So instead we started with me asking her some simple questions. She knew some but not other. When she didn't know the answers, I encouraged her to check the book.
She started checking things that didn't make sense. And she was actively seeking to test her understanding. I was happy to see it. She wasn't memorizing. She was trying to make sense of things, which was exactly what I had hoped she would do.

Passage13
Everyone has a beautiful memory about school which is hard to forget. Among many things, relationships are the hardest to leave behind. Some schools try to stop students’ puppy love(早恋) in different ways. Anything about“love” relationship is not allowed. For example, a middle school in Fujian, forbids (禁止) boys and girls to sit together for meals and forbids boys to look at girls for a long time;a middle school in Luohe, Henan Province sets rules that boys and girls should meet in bright places with at least 5 other classmates, and if they meet in private, they will be asked to go home with parents for more than a week and even advised to leave school; a middle school in Jinan, Shandong Province forbids everyone to send food and gifts to or receive them from the opposite sex (异性). It also forbids students to help the opposite sex with bags and coats and requires a“44 cm” distance between boys and girls.
Some students are not satisfied with such rules. “Why should we have strict places for different sexes to eat It's not using bathrooms!” Some people who care about the intelligence development of the students say that they should be more creative with fewer rules. For this, I'd like to say that middle school students are going through puberty (青春期). It's normal for them to have some feelings for the opposite sex.

Passage14
For years, it has been said that newspapers are at death's door. Every year brings more news of closing. But why is the situation so terrible for newspapers
Newspapers have a long history. The first newspaper was printed in the 1600s.Their most successful period is in the early 20th century.
With the appearance of radio and TV, however, newspaper circulation began to fall. By the mid-20th century, radio and TV had become so popular that people no longer had to depend on newspapers for news. That was especially true for breaking news.
Afternoon ewspapers were the first to suffer. After work, more and more people turned on TV instead of opening a newspaper. That was because TV could provide news happening a short time ago. It's true that newspapers couldn't compete with TV on speed, but they could provide in-depth reports that TV news could not.
But newspapers suffered another heavier blow in the 1990s. With the appearance of the Internet, tons of information became free. Many newspaper readers realized that they could read news on the Internet. There seemed to be little reason to pay for a newspaper subscription(订阅).
So what does the future hold Will newspapers die Maybe not. Many newspapers are now making changes. Some are going digital. Some are going farther and taking the industry to places it has never been to. After all, people still want the news. And many agree that newspapers are still an important source of in-depth news,analysis and opinions. If newspapers disappear completely, there will be nothing to take their place.

Passage15
Fan Shenghua, 59, is one of the inheritors(传承人) of the Longjing tea roasting technique. His palms tell you everything - they' re thick, rough, and full of calluses (手茧);a reminder of more than 40 years of hard work.
“You have to touch the leaves with your hands to see how much water should be removed(除去),” Fan said. “If too much is removed, the leaves will break into pieces;if not enough is removed, the tea will taste bitter(苦涩的).”
This traditional technique dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It not only ensures(保证) the quality of the tea, but is also an important part of Chinese tea culture. “Longjing tea leaves are famous for their color, taste and shape. Only by hand can we make the best of them. It's like making a work of art,” Fan said.
These days, however, more people are using machines to do the job. “It’ s easier,but the quality is not as good,” Fan said. “Machine-made tea floats(漂浮) longer in water and tastes bitter.”
In March this year, when President Xi Jinping visited Hangzhou, he watched Fan roast tea leaves. Fan changed the strength and movement of his hands as he felt the tea leaves roast. Xi later said, “The things made by two palms cannot be replaced by modern technology.”
Fan is now taking apprentices(学徒). His son, a 27-year-old college graduate, is one of them. “It's a tradition. We need to pass it down,” said the father.

Passage16
Picnics on a beach, boating on a lake, or a riverside walk —— people are naturally attracted to water. Research now shows that activities like these are important for our health and well-being.
The physical and mental health benefits of spending time in green spaces —— such as parks, gardens, or woods —— are already well-known. However, for around a decade (十年), evidence has been growing that blue spaces —— such as rivers, lakes and the sea are also good for our health in a variety of ways.
Whether people enjoy water sports or a simple walk on the beach, studies have showed that those who live near to blue spaces are more likely to be physically active.Regular visits to blue spaces have also been shown to improve mental health. One study has found that although people are generally happier in natural environments,they are the happiest in blue spaces. And as people tend to enjoy activities together in blue spaces, they are also good for our social health. Another important point is that blue spaces can create healthier environments, cooling the temperature in cities and cleaning the air.
With all these benefits, could doctors prescribe (开处方) time in blue spaces for their patients This is actually happening in the UK, where doctors can now refer(推荐) patients with mental health problems to a“blue prescribing” program. Over several weeks participants spend time in blue spaces taking part in activities such as bird-watching, canoeing, walking, and having picnics. The results have been very positive, with participants saying that being in a blue space helps them to relax and to feel less stressed. Surf treatment is also growing in popularity around the world as a way to treat mental health problems and has been shown to reduce depression and anxiety.
However, you don't need to go surfing to enjoy blue spaces —— Just looking at the sea or listening to the sound of water is known to be relaxing. And a research has shown that spending around two hours a week in a blue space is enough to bring health benefits.
( )1. According to the passage, which of the following would be suggested for health benefits

B. To call on us to create more blue spaces.
C. To introduce the benefits of green and blue spaces.
D. To compare the advantages of blue spaces and green spaces.

Passage19
We' ve all been there. You' re working on a big project that needs to be finished quickly, and somebody suddenly interrupts( 打 断 ) you and stops your work. For example, they show you photos of their vacation, or they tell you about their weekend.While those interruptions can be annoying, a new research from the University of Cincinnati says that they could have some real benefits as well.
Researchers surveyed 111 people twice a day for three weeks, asking them questions about their experiences at the office that day. The survey asked them if they had been interrupted at work, how mentally tired they were, and how satisfied they were with their job.
The study found that while interruptions can have a negative influence on a worker’ s productivity, the social aspect of stopping work to talk to a coworker can help them feel more like they belong. That is to say, they feel comfortable or welcome in the situation or place.The lead study Harshad Puranik said that this feeling of belonging in the workplace can increase a worker's job satisfaction, which is a feeling of happiness because one's wants or needs have been met, even if the work itself is being negatively affected by the interruption.
If you still don't want to be interrupted at work, there are some things you can do.For example, you can get to the office before anybody else arrives, so you have time to work alone, turn your phone off, or just tell people that you are too busy to talk.

Passage20
We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. However, there's always something staring at us right under our nose but we don't see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst.
When do we realize that we need to change diets When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking When our lungs have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult.
Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power not because the world says so but because we realize it's for our own good.
Happy people don't just accept change; they embrace (拥抱) it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.
Jane always tells everyone that she doesn't have the courage to be around groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!
Self-improvement may not be everybody's favorite word, but if we look at things in a different way, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved. Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we' re beginning to take things light and become happy.

It was a hot summer day and I had just pulled into the gas station to fill up my car.After filling it up, I started to walk inside to pay. That is when I noticed them. Two elderly women were standing back from their car. There was shock and fear on their faces. I looked and saw what they saw: five yellow jackets(小黄蜂) building a nest around their gas cap. I suddenly felt scared. I shared the ladies' fear.
Yellow jackets have never been friends of mine. Several times these wasps(黄蜂)have attacked me while l was cutting the grass, stinging(蛰) me each time I ran over their nests. The worst time, however, was when I was a young boy, a friend of mine and I were playing in my backyard. I must have stepped on one of their nests again because before I knew it, both of us were being chased and stung by the yellow jackets while we ran away screaming(尖叫). I ran to my mom with tears in my eyes.She ran a cold bath and put us both in it to ease(减轻) the pain before giving us medicine to help us feel better.
Still,I knew I couldn't let fear stop me now. I reached into my pocket for a paper,tore out the nest and stepped on it while the wasps buzzed around me. Both of the ladies thanked me for what I did.
You can't let the fear of being stung —— either physically or emotionally(情感上的)—— keep you from doing what is right. We need to love each other and chan专项-九年级-《必刷分层阅读理解》强化训练

Passage1
Heritage (遗产) is traditional customs, history and beliefs. We use the word “heritage” in many different ways. People talk about their family heritage, city heritage and national heritage.
Today, heritage is changing. The Internet connects people around the world. In many ways this is a good thing, because we can learn about the heritage of other countries, and we can show our own heritage to the world. However, some people worry that traditional heritage is disappearing. In many ways, countries are becoming more and more alike(相似的). In most countries around the world, you can find KFC, Nike shoes, Starbucks coffee, American movies and so on. Some people think this is a good change, and others don't like it. You can decide whether or not it's a good thing.
However, everyone wants to protect traditional heritage, and sometimes this is hard. For example, when a new KFC opens in your city, a traditional restaurant might have to close.
That is why heritage protection is so important. Heritage protection is a simple thought. It means keeping your country's or your city's heritage alive. People do this in many ways. The biggest part of heritage protection is probably preserving (保护)old buildings. Some suggestions of heritage protection are making sure your kids speak your traditional language, and teaching knowledge about heritage to them.
The world is changing. No matter how it changes, never forget the heritage of our parents and grandparents.

It quickly caught people’ s attention at home and abroad. And it created amazing sales.
Later, many Chinese brands, from food, drinks and clothing to mobile phones and cars, started to add Chinese culture into their products. Even the film and music industries made every effort to add Chinese styles.
These brands got what they wanted. Young people gradually shifted their attention from Western culture to guochao. They accepted it with pleasure. What's more, they started to develop an interest in traditional Chinese art and literature. Now they wear traditional clothes, practice Chinese calligraphy (书法) and play Chinese musical instruments. Some of them are working together to spread Chinese culture to people around the world.

DIY which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK.
English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK——“An Englishman’ s home is his castle”. Huge numbers of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful“castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economy becoming worse at present, many people cannot afford a big house. They are looking at how they can make their house better with less money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture. People need to get together pieces of furniture with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can't understand the instructions.Sometimes the instructions are very simple but the furniture itself is difficult to build.One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best ideas, many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don't care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.
Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY. All in all, it is a very good and suitable thing for many people.

Passage10
That year, I was a Junior 2 student. Falling off the stairs hurt me in the head.Almost everyone thought I was dead. But they were wrong. However, it was difficult to get back to normal (正常的) life. I had to leave school and learn everything,walking, talking, and yes, maths.
To help me with that task, Mrs. Pillar volunteered to come to the hospital and later to my house once a week. We began with basic maths skills. As time passed by, I made progress.
I remembered very vividly how she came to my home on Sundays, sat with me at the kitchen table, and threw different coins on the table. She asked me to show her 38cents, 17 cents, 63 cents. It was challenging, but she also made it fun.
After a year and a half, I had progressed a lot, both in body and mind, to return to school. Seven years later, I graduated from the University of Texas at the top of my class.
As years went by,I always kept in touch with Mrs. Pillar. Unluckily, one day my parents told me that Mrs. Pillar had been in hospital because she suffered a stroke(中风).
Now it was my turn to help her. Mrs. Pillar lay in bed, unable to speak and knew anybody around. I pulled some coins out of my pocket, dropped them on her bed, and asked her to show me 12 cents. The nurse thought that my action was very strange until one day Mrs. Pillar smiled happily as I began working with her—— just as she had worked with me years before. She made progress every day and was moved out of ICU(重症监护室) and finally out of hospital.
One day, I called to wish her a Happy New Year. She spoke into the phone excitedly, “Happy New Year to you and your family, Michael. Thank you for everything you' ve done for me.” I quickly said, “Thank you for everything you' ve done for me.”

Passage11
When I was in high school, I worked part-time helping Dad sell fruits and vegetables at a market. One day, as I was preparing the fruits, a little boy came by with his mom and sister. He was about eight years old, and the girl, five or six. They were looking at the fruits in front of me. I heard the kids say to their mom(in French),“They' re good!” I knew it was French because I could speak and understand it.
Then I noticed how the mom was picking the fruits. At first I thought she was really looking at the fruits because she was facing them. But then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out. And she often asked her son if it looked okay, but looked above where his face was. Putting what I saw together, I was sure she was blind.
Both of the kids continued to help their mom pick out the fruits. The son made sure the fruits were not obviously bad, and the daughter handed them to her mom. The woman then felt each one and smiled, and the daughter would put them into their basket. The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out.
Their smile and gentle manners moved me in a way that never happened before.It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help. Most kids that age would be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves, instead of helping their mom pick out fruits as the two kids did.
It was great to witness the moment, but not so great because I didn't tell the mom how beautiful her children were in their language. This is what I regret to this day.

Passage12
On Monday,I stopped my car in front of my daughter Juliet's middle school. She jumped in the front seat, feeling down. She asked me to help her study for her science test.
“Dad, I need to memorize a unit about the Reproductive Cycle of Plants. And I can hardly make it.”
“You know memorizing seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in tests if you work on trying to understand the material.”
Juliet was open to my advice. It was Monday afternoon and we had two nights to study before the test on Wednesday. I suggested a plan. “Tomorrow night, you are going to teach the material to me. Tonight, read the unit. Prepare to teach.”
Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I was determined to do it.Studies show teaching somebody else is a very useful way to learn. Even if you don't do the teaching, the act of preparing to teach leads to more learning than just trying your best to memorize the material.
On Tuesday afternoon, Juliet sat down with her Science book facing me said,“Okay Dad, let's study.” I wanted her to teach me. But false starts happened. I couldn't be too hard on her. So instead we started with me asking her some simple questions. She knew some but not other. When she didn't know the answers, I encouraged her to check the book.
She started checking things that didn't make sense. And she was actively seeking to test her understanding. I was happy to see it. She wasn't memorizing. She was trying to make sense of things, which was exactly what I had hoped she would do.

C. Because she knew nothing about planting. D. Because she couldn't follow her teacher.

( )3. The underlined word“it” in paragraph 5 refers to“ ”.
A. making her check the book B. using simple questions to test her
C. encouraging her to read the unit D. asking her to teach me the unit
( )4. When I asked Juliet some simple questions, what happened
A. She could answer all the questions. B. She could answer some of the questions.
C. She could answer none. D. She was happy to answer.
( )5. Which can be the best title for the passage
A. A Creative Father. B. An Unexpected Test.

Passage13
Everyone has a beautiful memory about school which is hard to forget. Among many things, relationships are the hardest to leave behind. Some schools try to stop students’ puppy love(早恋) in different ways. Anything about“love” relationship is not allowed. For example, a middle school in Fujian, forbids (禁止) boys and girls to sit together for meals and forbids boys to look at girls for a long time;a middle school in Luohe, Henan Province sets rules that boys and girls should meet in bright places with at least 5 other classmates, and if they meet in private, they will be asked to go home with parents for more than a week and even advised to leave school; a middle school in Jinan, Shandong Province forbids everyone to send food and gifts to or receive them from the opposite sex (异性). It also forbids students to help the opposite sex with bags and coats and requires a“44 cm” distance between boys and girls.
Some students are not satisfied with such rules. “Why should we have strict places for different sexes to eat It's not using bathrooms!” Some people who care about the intelligence development of the students say that they should be more creative with fewer rules. For this, I'd like to say that middle school students are going through puberty (青春期). It's normal for them to have some feelings for the opposite sex. Schools should provide correct guidance and education instead of giving simple and cruel rules and asking the students to follow.

( )5. The writer thinks .

Passage14
For years, it has been said that newspapers are at death's door. Every year brings more news of closing. But why is the situation so terrible for newspapers
Newspapers have a long history. The first newspaper was printed in the 1600s.Their most successful period is in the early 20th century.
With the appearance of radio and TV, however, newspaper circulation began to fall. By the mid-20th century, radio and TV had become so popular that people no longer had to depend on newspapers for news. That was especially true for breaking news.
Afternoon ewspapers were the first to suffer. After work, more and more people turned on TV instead of opening a newspaper. That was because TV could provide news happening a short time ago. It's true that newspapers couldn't compete with TV on speed, but they could provide in-depth reports that TV news could not.
But newspapers suffered another heavier blow in the 1990s. With the appearance of the Internet, tons of information became free. Many newspaper readers realized that they could read news on the Internet. There seemed to be little reason to pay for a newspaper subscription(订阅).
So what does the future hold Will newspapers die Maybe not. Many newspapers are now making changes. Some are going digital. Some are going farther and taking the industry to places it has never been to. After all, people still want the news. And many agree that newspapers are still an important source of in-depth news,analysis and opinions. If newspapers disappear completely, there will be nothing to take their place.
( )1. According to the passage, in which year was the first newspaper most likely to be printed
A. In 1611. B. In 1689. C. In 1711. D. In 1789.
( )2. The reason which doesn't cause newspaper circulation to fall is .
A. the appearance of radio B. the latest news on TV
C. the convenience of the Internet D. the changes of newspapers
( )3. What does the underlined word“circulation” mean in Para.3
A.循环. B.购买力. C.发行量 D.流通
( )4. What can you infer from the passage
A. People no longer depend on newspaper for news.
B. People get news on TV faster than in newspapers.
C. Newspapers are still important, they will not disappear.
D. All newspaper readers read news on the Internet in the 1990s.
【答案】1-4ADCC

Passage15
Fan Shenghua, 59, is one of the inheritors(传承人) of the Longjing tea roasting technique. His palms tell you everything - they' re thick, rough, and full of calluses (手茧);a reminder of more than 40 years of hard work.
“You have to touch the leaves with your hands to see how much water should be removed(除去),” Fan said. “If too much is removed, the leaves will break into pieces;if not enough is removed, the tea will taste bitter(苦涩的).”
This traditional technique dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It not only ensures(保证) the quality of the tea, but is also an important part of Chinese tea culture. “Longjing tea leaves are famous for their color, taste and shape. Only by hand can we make the best of them. It's like making a work of art,” Fan said.
These days, however, more people are using machines to do the job. “It’ s easier,but the quality is not as good,” Fan said. “Machine-made tea floats(漂浮) longer in water and tastes bitter.”
In March this year, when President Xi Jinping visited Hangzhou, he watched Fan roast tea leaves. Fan changed the strength and movement of his hands as he felt the tea leaves roast. Xi later said, “The things made by two palms cannot be replaced by modern technology.”
Fan is now taking apprentices(学徒). His son, a 27-year-old college graduate, is one of them. “It's a tradition. We need to pass it down,” said the father.
( )1. Fan's hands look the following EXCEPT .
A. thick B. rough C. full of calluses D. reminder
( )2. The underlined words in Paragraph3 refer to .
A. Picking tea leaves B. A traditional way of drinking tea
C. Using machines to heat tea leaves D. Roasting tea leaves by hand
( )3. According to Fan, what will happen to tea leaves if they have been removed too much water
A. They will go bad quickly. B. They will have a bitter taste.
C. They will break into pieces. D. They will lose their fresh taste.
( )4. In Fan's opinion, roasting tea leaves with machines means that .
A. it makes tea leaves lighter B. the quality of the tea isn't so good
C. it doesn't save any energy D. it costs less money
( )5. What do we know from the last paragraph
Fan will open his own school.
B. Fan's son studied tea culture in college.
C. Fan's son is learning how to roast tea leaves by hand.
D. Fan is making this technique popular worldwide.

Passage16
Picnics on a beach, boating on a lake, or a riverside walk —— people are naturally attracted to water. Research now shows that activities like these are important for our health and well-being.
The physical and mental health benefits of spending time in green spaces —— such as parks, gardens, or woods —— are already well-known. However, for around a decade (十年), evidence has been growing that blue spaces —— such as rivers, lakes and the sea are also good for our health in a variety of ways.
Whether people enjoy water sports or a simple walk on the beach, studies have showed that those who live near to blue spaces are more likely to be physically active.Regular visits to blue spaces have also been shown to improve mental health. One study has found that although people are generally happier in natural environments,they are the happiest in blue spaces. And as people tend to enjoy activities together in blue spaces, they are also good for our social health. Another important point is that blue spaces can create healthier environments, cooling the temperature in cities and cleaning the air.
With all these benefits, could doctors prescribe (开处方) time in blue spaces for their patients This is actually happening in the UK, where doctors can now refer(推荐) patients with mental health problems to a“blue prescribing” program. Over several weeks participants spend time in blue spaces taking part in activities such as bird-watching, canoeing, walking, and having picnics. The results have been very positive, with participants saying that being in a blue space helps them to relax and to feel less stressed. Surf treatment is also growing in popularity around the world as a way to treat mental health problems and has been shown to reduce depression and anxiety.
However, you don't need to go surfing to enjoy blue spaces —— Just looking at the sea or listening to the sound of water is known to be relaxing. And a research has shown that spending around two hours a week in a blue space is enough to bring health benefits.
( )1. According to the passage, which of the following would be suggested for health benefits
A. Listening to light music. B. Watering flowers in gardens.
C. Putting up a tent on the grass. D. Walking by a river or watching birds there.
( )2. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A. “Blue prescribing” is in use and results well in the UK.
B. Surf treatment is much more popular than“blue prescribing”.
C. Doctors prefer“blue prescribing” to surf treatment in the-UK.
D. Patients in the“blue prescribing” program get special medical care.
( )3. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage
A. To advise us to enjoy blue spaces more.
B. To call on us to create more blue spaces.
C. To introduce the benefits of green and blue spaces.
D. To compare the advantages of blue spaces and green spaces.
【答案】1-3 DAA

Passage19
We' ve all been there. You' re working on a big project that needs to be finished quickly, and somebody suddenly interrupts( 打 断 ) you and stops your work. For example, they show you photos of their vacation, or they tell you about their weekend.While those interruptions can be annoying, a new research from the University of Cincinnati says that they could have some real benefits as well.
Researchers surveyed 111 people twice a day for three weeks, asking them questions about their experiences at the office that day. The survey asked them if they had been interrupted at work, how mentally tired they were, and how satisfied they were with their job.
The study found that while interruptions can have a negative influence on a worker’ s productivity, the social aspect of stopping work to talk to a coworker can help them feel more like they belong. That is to say, they feel comfortable or welcome in the situation or place.The lead study Harshad Puranik said that this feeling of belonging in the workplace can increase a worker's job satisfaction, which is a feeling of happiness because one's wants or needs have been met, even if the work itself is being negatively affected by the interruption.
If you still don't want to be interrupted at work, there are some things you can do.For example, you can get to the office before anybody else arrives, so you have time to work alone, turn your phone off, or just tell people that you are too busy to talk.
( )1. Researchers surveyed people by asking questions times a week.

When do we realize that we need to change diets When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking When our lungs have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult.
Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power not because the world says so but because we realize it's for our own good.
Happy people don't just accept change; they embrace (拥抱) it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.
Jane always tells everyone that she doesn't have the courage to be around groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!
Self-improvement may not be everybody's favorite word, but if we look at things in a different way, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved. Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we' re beginning to take things light and become happy.
