精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上九年级英语任务型阅读专项练习1American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English.First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans dont say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I dont know.” Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.(3)Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.”Therere also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you a storybook?”All these differences can be confusing(易混淆的) if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French. (4)但是他们的法语和法国的法语不一样。1. This passage is mainly about _.2. What does the word “separately” mean in this passage? It means “_”.A. 含糊地B. 快速地C. 分开地D. 简略地3.

It began in the 11th century, but it has developed greatly in the last century. Lets take a look at the five top inventions.Movable Type（活字印刷）: By using Movable Type, books could be printed cheaply and easily. Bi Sheng invented Movable Type in China in the 11th century.Telephone: The inventor Alexander Graham Bell made the first telephone call in 1876. “Mr. Watson, come here. I want you.” he said to his assistant over the phone line. And with those famous words, the world was about to get much smaller. Airplane: The Wright brothers made the first powered flight in 1903. Air travel has made the faraway places suddenly become a lot closer.Satellites（卫星）: The Soviet Union sent up the worlds first satellite in 1957. This began the Space Age. Satellites have helped scientists study the earth. Much of our knowledge of the world has come from the information recorded by satellites.Internet: When the Internet was created in 1969, only a few people knew about it. But more than 650 million people in the world use it now. The Internet has made information about anything easy to get.Title 1. _The top inventions Movable TypeTelephone Airplane SatellitesInternet 2. _ China /The Soviet Union The U. S.

Your best chance of success is by doing what you really want to do. Ask yourself, “If money were not so important, what kind of work would I do for free?” Then just do what you like to do.2 Think about what you are going to do. You have to start somewhere and it may be quite a real beginning. Whether you are beginning in business or youre dreaming to be a star, you have to start at the bottom. 3. Great ambition（目标）is necessary. An English student called Richard Brason opened a student magazine when he was only 16 years old. But he didnt stop there. He also opened a record business with many shops, and now his company has planes, trains and cars.4. The only people who succeed without hard work are lottery（彩票）winners. You need a “can do” attitude（态度）and you must work step by step, which will help you get what you really want. You are on the right way to win the success.5. If you always say someone is successful, it doesnt mean anything to you. Learn from those who have already succeeded in something, especially where they do the same as you want to do.A. Think big B.

Do you send text messages to your friends and family?Text messaging or “texting”, is becoming very popular. But, scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands. Be careful! Too much texting can cause swelling（肿胀）in our thumbs（拇指）. Our thumbs were not made for pushing small buttons（按钮）, over and over. Scientists call his problem RSI（重复性紧张劳损）. We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many sick people with RSI. She says we need to see how much time we are spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10-15 minutes at once, we could have problems in the future.As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can cause the same problem. So more and more people could find themselves with RSI. Among them, most are university students and teenagers, as they do not know the risks of spending so much time using computers, video games and mobile phones. If we dont do something about this, too many young people could grow up in terrible pain.根据短文内容，回答问题1. What is becoming very popular now? 2. Does the word “once” mean “one time” in the second passage? 3. What kind of people are easier to have the problem of RSI? 4. What can also cause RSI besides texting? 5. Which is easier to cause the problem of RSI, using smaller mobile phones or larger ones? 5Big ocean fish have almost been endangered since the start of business fishing in the 1950s. The scientists found that the number of large fish has dropped by 90 percent in the past fifty years. The study took ten years. The researchers collected records from fishing businesses and governments around the world. The magazine Nature published(发表)the findings. The scientists say the common way called long-line fishing is especially harmful to large fish. This way includes many fishing lines that are connected to one boat. If these lines are joined together, they can reach one hundred kilometers. They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks(钩) to catch fish. Long-line fishing is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry. Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every one hundred hooks. The study says long-line fishing boats now might catch one fish per hundred hooks.The scientists say business fishing can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past. Its not the only worry that the number of large fish is becoming smaller and smaller.Whats worse, they are smaller in size than their ancestors(祖先).根据短文内容完成表格，每空一词。What is happening to ocean fish?Items (项目)SituationsResults1. of ocean fish The number of ocean fish has dropped by 90% in the past fifty years.The number of fish 2.

Some of these belong to a special class of plants called fungi.Fungi may appear almost everywhere. They commonly grow in wet places where they can get food and water easily. Because fungi do not have green leaves to make their own food, fungi must take their food from animals, other plants or water. Some fungi live on dead or rotting wood, while others grow on living trees or in dirt or moss(苔藓). Mushrooms(蘑菇) are the best-known fungi.There are many kinds of mushrooms appearing in all shapes and sizes. For example, cauliflower mushrooms are found in forests from July to October. They can grow to be as heavy as fifty pounds! They grow at the foot of trees. Squirrels bread(松茸) is another kind of wild mushroom. Its appearance and use can explain its name. These fungi look like small golden cakes. Squirrels（松鼠） can easily eat them or carry them off to their hole to eat later. 食品店里的蘑菇是人们精心种植的，可安全食用。People are warned never to touch or taste wild mushrooms, because some of them are deadly.
