牛津译林版 英语九年级上册 Unit 3 Teenage problems 阅读理解专练
Most people who’ve never studied a foreign language always ask, “Does it take pains to learn a foreign language ” My answer usually is “You should try and see for yourself.”
In fact, learning a language is no harder than dealing with a new subject in school or learning a new skill to make a living. Sure, it takes work, but it’s also within most people’s abilities. So, in my opinion, learning a new language is actually pretty easy, just like learning to walk, riding a bike or driving a car.
In the real world, many people struggle with learning a new language during the first few months or years, but they give up for all kinds of excuses. Actually what matters isn’t how hard the work is for a limited period of time, but how long you can work at it.
Compare it to losing weight. Exercising 1 hour a day and 3 days a week sounds easy enough. Yet how many people who sign up for yearly gym membership still use theirs after a month The same goes with language learning. Most people put in effort at the beginning, but just don't bother to follow through. As a result, only those carrying it on to the end become thinner.
Besides, you should know how to learn. According to a survey, reading newspapers is particularly good for learning a new language. Newspapers often have pictures with titles and then articles explaining what is happening. If readers can’t make sense of the articles, they can turn to the pictures. Another benefit from reading the newspaper is that besides increasing one’s ability to speak a foreign language, you can learn about what is happening in the world, which provides you with information when you talk with your friends. What’s more, you can find a partner and communicate with him in that language.

As COVID-19 is still spreading in many countries, quickly finding people who have the virus is very important. But COVID-19 is not easy to detect. Many people who catch the virus clearly show signs of being ill, like having a fever or coughing. But many others show no signs at all. These people are “asymptomatic” and they can still pass the virus to others.
Now, scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a famous American college, have developed a method which can quickly detect whether a person has COVID-19 or not just from the way he or she coughs or speaks. The scientists turned to an AI method known as “deep learning”.
In deep learning, computer programs collected a lot of information, analyzed（分析）it and built certain models. The information here was tens of thousands of recordings of coughing and speaking from people who had caught the virus. When the scientists tested their AI models, they found that they could detect 98.5% of the people who caught the virus, including 100% of the asymptomatic people.
Brian Subirana, one of the scientists, says, “We think this shows that the way one person produces sound changes when he or she has COVID-19, even if he or she is asymptomatic.” The scientists now want to turn their models into an app that can run on mobile phones. If they are able to do that, it could allow people to quickly and easily check whether they have caught the virus.
28．From the passage, who are asymptomatic people
A．Those who do not cough at all although they catch the virus
B．Those who have a high fever when they catch the virus.
C．Those who catch the virus but don’t show any signs of being ill
D．Those who catch the virus but won’t pass it to any other one.
29．How does the new method work
A．By analyzing a person’s voice. B．By taking a person’s temperature.
C．By taking a person to the hospital. D．By asking a person some questions.
30．What does the underlined word “they” refer to
A．the viruses B．the scientists C．the AI models D．the asymptomatic people
31．Where will the AI models be used according to Brian
A．Everywhere. B．On computers. C．In hospitals. D．On mobile phones.
32．What can you read from the passage
A．An AI method can help detect the COVID-19 patients accurately.
B．An AI method can help find where the COVID came from.
C．COVID-19 is too easy to detect with the help of an AI robot.
D．COVID-19 can’t be detected even with the help of an AI robot.
Sun Ruifeng, a mother in Beijing, changed some of her plans for her 8-year-old son’s summer vacation. She looked for an English tutoring (辅导) course, but in the end, she changed it to a swimming training class.
Sun’s choice is part of the result of the government’s growing efforts to reduce the academic pressure (学业压力) on young students.
On July 24, 2021, Chinese government introduced a guideline to reduce the academic pressure on primary and junior high school students. It lists requirements in areas such as reducing the amount and the difficulty of homework and improving the quality of education and after-class services provided by schools.
For example, homework for children below the third grade is not allowed, while homework for junior high school students should take no longer than 90 minutes to finish.
According to the guideline, tutoring institutions (机构) cannot teach students content that students haven’t learnt at school. No tutoring courses can be taught on weekends, national holidays or during winter and summer vacations.
The moves aim to guide the educational training industry to focus on improving students’ all-round quality, Chen Xianzhe, a professor at South China Normal University, told Xinhua.
According to Global Times, more than 75 percent of Chinese children who live in cities, from grade 1 to grade 12, take part in tutoring programs.
This has led to many social problems such as students’ falling levels of physical fitness, more mental health problems and huge family costs, said Chu Zhaohui, a senior researcher with the National Institute of Education Sciences.
Many parents showed their support for the new moves. However, there are also some worries. A parent from Shanxi said that although she agreed with the new moves, she worried about what her son would do after school if both parents have no time to be with him.
According to the guideline, primary and middle schools are asked to offer after-school services, including homework tutoring, sports, arts, reading and interest groups.
33．The change of Sun Ruifeng’s choice is a good example to show that ________.
A．the government’s guideline works well
B．Swimming training classes are popular
C．parents only care about children’s health
D．Beijing has few English tutoring courses
34．According to the government’s guideline, which of the following is allowed
A．Grade 2 students can have half an hour of homework every day.
B．Grade 9 students can have one hour of homework every day.
C．Tutoring institutions can give lessons on National Day holiday.
D．Schools can increase the amount and difficulty of homework.
35．From the passage we can know that ________ thinks taking part in too many tutoring programs not only does harm to students’ health but also costs too much.
A．Chen Xianzhe B．Chu Zhaohui
C．Sun Ruifeng D．a parent from Shanxi
36．If both parents have no time to be with children, which may be a good way to solve the problem now
A．One parent gives up the job to be with children.
B．Children stay at home alone or with grandparents.
C．Primary and middle schools offer after-school services.
D．Children go to tutoring institutions to learn extra programs.
37．What is the best title for the passage
A．Taking the pressure off B．Calling for less homework
C．Health or success D．A colorful life, a better future
Jake and Max are twin brothers who have passion（热爱）for volunteering. Their family has always done community services, and at a young age, they asked guests to donate money toward a charity（慈善机构）.

Most people who move to a foreign country may experience a period of time when they feel very homesick and have a lot of stress. This feeling is often called “culture shock”.
Generally speaking, there are four stages that you will experience after you move to a foreign country. The first stage is usually referred to as the “excitement” stage. When arriving in a new environment, you’ll be interested in the new culture-everything will seem exciting.
But it won’t be long before you move from the “excitement” stage to the second stage. It seems that everything is difficult. The language is hard to learn, friends are difficult to make and even simple things like shopping have become challenges. It is at this “stress” stage that you are likely to feel worried and homesick. This is the stage which is referred to as “culture shock”.
However, “culture shock” doesn’t last for very long. If you are one of those who manage to deal with it, you’ll move to the “recovery” stage. At this stage, you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people act in your new environment.
The last stage is the “home” stage. This is the stage when you start to feel at home in the new culture. You start to learn from your new home and to like certain aspects of the new culture better than those of your own culture.
“Culture shock” is common. Everyone in a new situation will go through some forms of it. Continue to be brave! And dealing with “culture shock” will be a piece of cake.
46．According to the text, what makes people experience “culture shock”

I don’t like bullies. Bullies are people who keep saying things or doing things that hurt you. Bullies make you feel scared. They hurt you or embarrass you. Sometimes they take things from you without your permission. Sometimes they break your thing with no reason.
I don’t know why people become bullies. Maybe they think bullying makes them look strong. Maybe they think bullying makes them popular. I think bullies might be jealous of（嫉妒）the people who they bully, or maybe they just feel bad about themselves and want other people to feel bad too. Whatever the reasons, bullying is wrong.
Everyone needs to work together to let bullies know that we won’t allow bullying in our school. We won’t ignore（忽视）bullying. If we ignore bullying, then the bullies will get away with it. If we let bullies continue hurting others, then we are just as bad as them. We all need to let bullies know that they have to stop. We need to tell them we don’t like it. We must help people who are being bullied.

When was the last time that you dialed (拨) a phone number from memory It probably depends on how long you’ve used technology like a cellphone. It seems that teenagers have never had to remember any telephone numbers. Smartphones offer quick and easy ways for keeping information. There is no need to memorize anything. But this isn’t without bad results.
As smartphones develop more and more, users’ heavily depending on them may cause terrible results. “Digital dementia”, is the words used by experts to describe some of these results. Some doctors like Jim, an expert in memory improvement, are taking a closer look at this result. Jim describes digital dementia like this, “... we’re offering our brains to our smart devices.” He continues, “We’re depending on our smartphones so heavily that our smartphones are making us stupid.” As medical studies show the drop in memory and learning skills among smartphone users, a connection is made between symptoms (症状) which are connected with dementia.
The seriousness of overuse becomes clear when you consider just how young smartphone users are becoming. Writer and speaker Simon points out that young minds “Are not ready for it! Their minds cannot deal with the problems”. So, smartphone screens and sounds lead to addiction (成瘾) more often than not. So now parents, teachers and managers should try to deal with the young people with this kind of addiction.
In fact, smartphones aren’t all bad. They’re really easy to use, and the connectivity (连接性) they create cannot be thought wrong. The key is finding out how to make a balance (平衡) between usage and uselessness. We should control our cellphone use, making sure when and where we can use cellphones.
63．Why don’t young kids remember any telephone numbers
A．Because smartphones can keep and offer information.
B．Because teenagers are too lazy to remember information.
C．Because if s hard for teenagers to remember information.
64．What do the underlined words “digital dementia” mean in Paragraph 2
A．数字迷恋 B．数字痴呆 C．数字文盲
65．What may happen if we heavily depend on smartphones according to medical studies
A．Memory will drop. B．Learning skills will improve. C．Kids will be cleverer.
66．We can learn from Paragraph 3 that ________.
A．we should stop young kids from using smartphones B．we should help kids deal with the smartphone addiction C．it’s very dangerous for young kids to use smartphones
67．How does the writer end this passage
A．By saying that smartphones aren’t all bad. B．By saying that smartphones are very helpful. C．By advising controlling our cellphone use.
Do American children still learn handwriting(书写) in school In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One of this year’s studies found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 to 15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day—which really for handwriting is pretty much.
Many adults remember learning that way by copying letters over and over again. Today’s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.
Handwriting involves(涉及) two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency(流畅) — writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school
But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.
But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is seldom done in primary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive(草书), which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board(大学委员会). More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay(article) on the test rather than write in cursive.
68．From Paragraph 1 we can learn _________.
A．a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting
B．most teachers prefer to teach handwriting
C．teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting
D．teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in the teaching job

Playing video games and getting money for it seems like a dream job for many of today’s teenagers. But is it all fun and games
Big business
Pro (professional) gaming is certainly big business, In 2017, there were more than 3,000 gaming competitions and over 10, 000 professional players worldwide. A large number of people watch their competitions online, and successful gamers can get more than 1, 000,00 dollars from prize money and ads. The industry is clearly thriving.
What it takes
Becoming a professional is not just about being good at playing games—it also takes a lot of hard work. Some pro gamers practice for fourteen hours aday. “You need to spend much time and put all your efforts to it,” says ex—gamer George.
Not all fun and games
It can be a difficult job as well. Stress is a big problem for gamers. Tiredness is another, and injuries（受伤）are common. Top player Hai Lam had wrist problems after years of pro gaming. Careers are short, and many gamers retire（退休）before they are 30 and try to find another job.
However, the bad points probably won’t change the dreams of many teenager gamers. And angry parents are still likely to hear the excuse, “But I’m just practicing for my future job!”

The world uses about a thousand million (百万) tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.
Treating waste water is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of waste water around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans.

The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process (加工) more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.
76．How many people have trouble in getting clean water around the world
