In China, there are 24 solar terms（节气）in a year. And there are six of them in winter. They are beginning of winter, light snow, heavy snow, winter solstice（冬至）, lesser cold(小寒）and greater cold.

Beginning of winter usually falls on November 7th or 8th. After beginning of winter, most parts of the country can start to expect cold weather. On this day, after a year of hard work, people are happy to have a rest and spend time with family. The northern China celebrates beginning of winter as the “Small Spring Festival”. People usually have dumplings and mutton soup on that day.

Light snow usually falls on November 22nd or 23rd and heavy snow usually falls on December 7th or 8th. When winter solstice comes, it brings the shortest days of the year and the longest nights. Many places around the country can expect the coldest weather yet. People often start counting “nine cold periods” starting from winter solstice. Every cold period has nine days. People believe that after 81 cold days, spring will come.

Greater cold comes after lesser cold. The field is covered with snow. And all Chinese are ready to welcome the Spring Festival after it. Of course, a new round of solar terms will start.

1.From the passage, we know that there are six solar terms in winter.

2.People in northern China usually have dumplings and mutton soup on beginning of winter.

3.Heavy snow comes before light snow.

4.All Chinese are ready to celebrate the Spring Festival after greater cold.

5.The passage tells us how people celebrate the Spring Festival.

On the morning of July 14, 1960, Jane Goodall arrived at Lake Tanganyika in the Gombe National Park. Then around 5 p.m., Jane went into the forest to find her first chimpanzee.

As a young woman, Jane Goodall was following her childhood dream of studying chimpanzees in Africa. After many months of difficult works, she made three important discoveries: chimpanzees ate meat; they used tools to get food; and they also made tools.

Every evening, Jane wrote her findings in her journal. She began to publish articles in magazines. After a while, Jane was accepted by a university. Her work was also making her famous. There was a documentary (纪录片) film, Miss Goodall and the Wild Chimpanzees (1963), and then My Friends the Wild Chimpanzees (1969), the first of many books. During the 1970s, Gombe became a dangerous place to work. It was on the border of four different countries and there was fighting among them. Many foreigners left, but Jane stayed to continue her work and noted that chimpanzees could also be violent.

A different problem occurred in Gombe in the 1980s. The forests were getting smaller and there was no enough space for chimpanzees because of the increasing human population. As a result, there were only about a hundred chimpanzees living in Gombe by the end of the 1980s. Jane realized something needed to be done, so she made a plan with the local community to grow more trees.

At the beginning of the 1990s, Jane left Gombe. She set up sanctuaries (庇护所) for chimpanzees which had been caught because of the trade in chimpanzee meat. She also started giving speeches. She has very little spare time but still spends part of every year in the forest in Gombe, watching her chimpanzees.

1.What are the Jane Goodall's discoveries about chimpanzees?

A.Chimpanzees only ate meat. B.Chimpanzees got their food by using tools.

C.Chimpanzees couldn't make tools. D.Chimpanzees ate meat with the tools they made.

2.Gombe became a dangerous place to work during the 1970s because________.

A.there was fighting among people who live there B.chimpanzees were dangerous, so many foreigners left

C.chimpanzees were dangerous and few people lived there D.it was on the border of four countries

3.Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

A.The forests were getting smaller in the 1980s.

B.More than one hundred chimpanzees lived in Gombe by the end of the 1980s.

C.Jane Goodall made a plan with local community to plant trees.

D.Jane Goodall set up sanctuaries for chimpanzees in the 1990s.

九年级英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

My father was born in a small town in the US. He wanted to get out and begin a new adventure. He began that adventure by traveling to different cities in the US before going on to other countries. He took his wife and three daughters with him and went wherever the road took him.

It's easy to feel lonely when you're on the road. As my mother said repeatedly ,“We made lots of new friends on our trip—most of them were workers who fix cars, since we often spent hours in repair shops during the journey."

Getting along sometimes seemed impossible. There were always a lot of arguments, especially among us back-seat passengers about who had to sit in the middle. But even if it was hard, we did learn a lot about forgiveness. When in the Philippines, we drove to Quezon City one day. It should have been a one-hour drive but was nearly three, thanks to bad roads and worse traffic.“Did you put our suitcases (行李箱) in the car?" My father asked my mother as we arrived. "No," she said. "I thought you did." That

was how a seven-hour car trip turned into a 16-hour car trip, which was mostly spent in silence. In situations like that, we had to learn to let go of our anger. We were stuck (困在) in a rolling box with the same people for the rest of the journey. Even if I sometimes felt like opening the car door and pushing one of my sisters out, I kept my feelings to myself.

This is why road trips were like moving universities to us. We earned our PhDs(博士学位) in how to get along with other people just by traveling in that old car.

1.Who did the writer’s family make many friends with on their trip?

A.Other travelers. B.Shop owners. C.Car repair workers. D.Tour guides.

2.What does the underlined word "forgiveness" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.原谅 B.放弃 C.坚持 D.遗忘

3.What do we know about their trip in the Philippines?

A.They took a train to Quezon City.

B.The writer's mother lost their suitcases.

C.One of the writer's sisters was pushed out of the car.

D.They spent more time driving than they planned.

4.What word would the writer use to describe these trips?

A.Adventurous. B.Educational. C.Boring. D.Surprising.
