1、I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It is not enough to just get good grades at school. 61Children these days depend on their parents too much. They are always asking, 62“你能给我拿一下这个吗?”or “Could you help me with that?” Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. 63It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbors’son got into a good college but during his first year,64他不知道怎样照顾自己.As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped.65.The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.

24、 Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us develop more slowly but then become lifelong feelings, reaching deeply into both families. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be happier if we accept their hospitality(友好) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they treat us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts(主人), will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily life. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.
We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for only business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
【1】This passage is probably from________.
A.a novel B.a magazine C.a letter D.a diary
【2】The underlined words generous with our time probably mean ________.
A.strict with time B.careful with time
C.thankful to time D.glad to spend time
【3】The passage is about________.
A.the way Americans treat visitors
B.the way Chinese treat visitors
C.the differences between Americans and Chinese
D.the differences between American culture and Chinese culture
【4】From the passage, we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we’ll probably be ________.
A.welcomed at the airport B.offered a ride to his home
C.treated hospitably at his home D.invited to dinner in a restaurant
【5】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.Friendship between Americans usually reach deeply into their families.
B.Friendships between American usually last for all their lives.
C.Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
D.Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
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

27、A TV series in England,Away from it all,has surprised everyone by becoming a success with young people across the country. Its success is surprising because the series is about the relaxing lifestyles of people who live in the country. There is none of the action that we usually see on TV today. There are also no stressful moments, busy offices or crowded cities. Away from it all is set in the peaceful English countryside and tells simple stories about people’s kindness.
The director of the TV series says that its success is a sign of teenagers suffering from stress. They say that watching Away from it all helps teenagers forget about the pressures of exams and homework, and the troubles that fill the world today. They also say that it’s a good sign of today’s young people turning to happier TV series as it shows they want a happier and healthier world.
Although the series’ success might have a good side, many teachers and parents are worried, however. They say that some of their students and children spend more time before TV and are using Away from it all as an excuse for not finishing homework. Some children have even refused to learn for exams because they say that they can only get personal happiness by avoiding stressful situations.
And what do the experts say? Paula Ray, a doctor of education, says that TV can influence children’s lifestyles. But she says that if a child reacts strongly, it’ s likely that there are other reasons for his change in behaviour. She says that there is nothing wrong with watching Away from it all but suggests that parents should let their children know TV is not the same as real life.

28、注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格里只填一个单词。
What should you take in with you when you take an exam? Pen, pencil, eraser, ruler…, and don’t forget a bottle of water!
A【1】to a study at the British Psychological ( 心理学的) Society Annual Conference held in London, students who bring water into exams may improve their grades by up to 10 percent.
Scientists did a study on 447 students. The students were studying for different degrees (学历) at the University of East London. Only 25 percent of them entered the exam hall with
s【2】to drink.
Scientists then compared their exam r【3】with their normal schoolwork grades. They found that all those who had brought drinks with them got b【4】grades by between 2 and 10 percent.
It is unclear why drinking water i【5】exam results. But s【6】say having enough water in our bodies and not feeling t【7】could have a helpful effect on our brains. D【8】water may also cut down on anxiety ( 焦虑), which has a bad effect on exam performances, according to Chris Pawson, PhD, of the University of East London.
“Whatever the explanation, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated (含水的)with water during exams,” he said.
So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, t【9】bringing a bottle of water with you.Who knows – it may help you p【10】 the exam!
