24、The Internet is full of false information. It is important for us all to avoid being fooled by such information. Here are three examples of Internet hoaxes.

On his website, a man by the name of Tony has asked for money to save the life of a pretty little rabbit named Toby that he saved from under his house. A cat must have attacked the rabbit, the man said, so he took it in. he gave Toby loving care and nursed him back to health. There is a very cruel point, however. If the man doesn’t receive enough money, he will eat poor little Toby. (Don’t worry, though. Remember, it’s just a hoax!)

While the streets of New Orleans, the USA, were still flooded after a terrible hurricane (飓风), a frightening e-mail was sent around the Internet. It included a photograph of a large crocodile(鳄鱼) over five meters long. According to the message, it had been swimming around the flooded city eating people. It was later discovered that the photographs of the crocodile were of one that was caught in the Congo (刚果) years before.

The following e-mail hoax takes in many people. It says that a large British company will pay you to send their e-mail to as many people as possible. For every person that you send the e-mail to, it promises you will receive $5.00; for every person that you send it to that sends it to someone else, you’ll get $3.00; and for every third person that receives it, you will be paid $1.00. To make it even more believable, the sender says that at first he thought it was a hoax, but the company soon sent him $800.00.

【1】The underlined word “hoaxes” means .

A. games B. websites C.  lies   D. stories

【2】The crocodile in the photograph actually lived in________ .

A. New Orleans   B.  the USA   C. Britain D. the Congo

25、   “Keep calm and carry on” — You can see this message written on many T-shirts and other tourist souvenirs (纪念品) in London and the UK. It has become so famous that there are many versions (版本) of it: “keep calm and drink tea”; “keep calm and love dogs”; “keep calm and learn English”. As you can see, you can substitute (替换) the “carry on” part for anything you want, really!

But where does the original phrase come from? Well, it comes from World War Ⅱ. It was a message to calm people down and encourage them during the war when London was being attacked. The idea was to carry on with life as normal, as if there was no war.

Staying calm when you’re in trouble is known as a very British thing to do. British people are famous for keeping a “stiff upper lip”. This means your lips (嘴唇) don’t shake when you are excited or frightened: you stay calm and don’t show people how you are really feeling.

Are British people still like this today? Do they still keep a “stiff upper lip”? Modern Britain is very different from how it was 60 years ago and British people probably show their feelings more than they used to. But if “keep calm and carry on” is still so famous today, then it must be something that British people still think and care about, and something they are still famous for. So next time you are frightened or in danger, just keep calm and carry on!

【1】Where is the original phrase “Keep calm and carry on” from?

A.A tea house in UK.

B.T-shirt and tourist souvenirs.

C.World War Ⅱ.

D.Modern Britain.

【2】According to Para. 1, what message will possibly be given to Grade 9 students who’re facing important exams?

A.Keep calm and work hard.

B.Keep calm and love dogs.

C.Stop crying and eat more.

D.Drink tea and learn English.

【3】What does the underlined phrase in Para. 3 probably mean?

A.唇亡齿寒 B.唇枪舌战 C.泰然自若 D.装腔作势

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A.Britain’s Most Famous Slogan

B.UK — A Great Country

C.The Culture Development in UK

D.The Changes of the British People

26、Assertiveness is the ability to confidently express your opinions, feelings, attitudes, and rights, in a way that doesn't infringe（侵犯）the rights of others.

Many of us are taught that it is not nice to consider our own needs above those of others. If someone says or does something that we don't like, we should just be quiet and try to stay away from that person in the future.

Why is Assertiveness important?

If you don't know how to be assertive, you might experience:

Depression—Anger, a sense of being helpless, hopeless, or of having no control over your life.

Resentment—Anger at others for taking advantage of you.

Frustration —Why did I allow that to happen?

Most people find it easier to be assertive in some situations than in others. This makes perfect sense. It's a lot easier to hold your ground with a stranger than with someone you love. But the more important the relationship is to you, the more important it is to be assertive. Assertive behavior leads to increased respect from others！

But before you decide to act assertively, you have to decide if you can live with the results. Although assertive behavior usually will result in a positive response (积极的回应)，some people might react differently.

How to be effectively（有效地） assertive:

Use "I" statements. Keep the focus on the problem you're having. "I'd like to be able to tell my stories without interruption." instead of "You're always interrupting my stories!”

Use facts, not opinions. "Did you know that shirt has a hole?" instead of "You're not going out looking like THAT, are you?"

Express ownership of your thoughts, feelings, and opinions. "I get angry when he breaks his promises. "instead of "He makes me angry. "

Make clear and direct requirements. Don't invite the person to say no. "Will you please?" instead of "Would you mind…?" or "Why don't you…?"

Keep repeating your point. Use a low level and pleasant voice. Don't try to explain yourself.

【1】The writer probably agrees that— .

A．assertive behavior will bring you bad feelings

B．you should be assertive if you want to get good marks

C．assertiveness is the ability to infringe others' rights

D．you should consider others' response before you act assertively

【2】The expression "hold your ground" probably means “ ”.

A．insist on your point

B．keep your word

C．reach an agreement

D．keep on fighting

【3】Which of the following helps you to be effectively assertive?

A．Explaining yourself in a soft and sweet voice.

B．Making requirements directly and clearly.

C．Using your opinions instead of facts.

D．Expressing ownership of others' thoughts.

27、Let's suppose it is a common day of 2060. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.

Trips to the moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in the 2010's. At a number of scenic spots(风景胜地) on the moon, many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old.

What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill(药片) form, and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants.

Because people in the world today are many more than those about fifty years ago, most of the earth's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer eaten by pests(害虫). The harvest is always good.

Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.

People are now largely vegetarians, and they eat only bread, vegetables, fruit and so on and they don't eat meat or fish. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more. Such would be our life in 2060.

【1】What will be on the moon in 2060 according to the passage?

A．Many green plants.

B．Many wild animals.

C．Many interesting places.

【2】What's the meaning of the underlined word “irrigated”?

B．灌溉

C．淹没

【3】Which of the following is TRUE?

A．People only eat foods in pill form.

B．People don't have plenty of crops.

C．People run the farms by using high technology.

【4】Why do people have to be vegetarians in 2060?

A．Because they want to be healthier.

B．Because vegetables can make the patients well.

C．Because there will be more people and fewer animals.

【5】What attitude(态度) does the writer have about the future life?

A．He feels pretty hopeful about the future.

B．He is not very satisfied with some things of the future.

C．He seems really sad about what is happening in the future.

28、   Henry was a kind, good boy. His father was dead, and his mother was very poor. He had a little sister about 2 years old. He wanted to help his mother because she could not a【1】 earn(挣) enough money to buy food for his little family.
