九年级英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

After graduating from middle school, many students grow very fast, especially boys. And the teachers have to look up at their faces to show love for them. Why do they grow so fast?

Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes(基因) decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then perhaps you will be tall, too. But if you have questions about how tall you’re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.

But genes don’t decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential(潜力). Getting enough sleep and exercise will help you grow to the right height.

No doubt you’re wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There’s no perfect or right answer. Kids grow about 5 cm a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty（when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up. ）

Don’t be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt(高峰) during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.

You’ll usually begin to notice that you’re growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.

1.What does the underlined word “puberty” mean in Chinese?

A.童年时代 B.婴幼儿时期 C.青春期

2.If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, _______________.

A.you should have enough exercise

B.you should ask doctors for help

C.you can record your growth during puberty

3.Girls’ growth spurt can be _______________.

A.14 B.13 C.15

4.Which is true according to the passage？

A.Girls’ age for starting puberty is usually later than that of boys’.

B.You height never depends on genes.

C.Everyone has a growth spurt during puberty.

5.The passage is mainly about _______________.

A.Height. B.Weight. C.Genes.

It was a cold day, but the students from Prosser Middle School in Chicago were sorting through the waste when they found that their school produces 1,500 pounds every day.

Prosser is just one school that throws out nearly 4,000 meal trays every day. Counting all of Chicago’s public schools, the number comes to nearly a quarter of a million a day. That’s more than 1 million a week and about 5 million a month.　

“None of the trays are being recycled,” said a teacher. “ Everyone agrees that it’s very bad.”

Luckily, concerns about the environment and health have made some US cities take action. Dozens of schools have begun programs to reduce the use of food trays in school.

These schools have also banned (禁止)some fast food, including McDonald’s. Instead, they offer students recyclable trays. They encourage students to sort out lunchroom waste, then wash and recycle milk cartons and trays . So far, the program has helped schools to save a total of 820,000 trays each week.

Jay Stream Middle School in Illinois teaches its students how to collect trays. The school has cut its lunchroom waste by two thirds now that students recycle their used trays instead of breaking them.

Prosser Middle School also sees the benefits of the program. Students have organized about 20 clubs and volunteer activities to cut down on cafeteria garbage. They now recycle 80 percent of the school waste. “ I joined the club,” said Erika Santana, a 16-year-old junior in Prosser, “because I want to make Earth a better place.”

Have you ever tried 3-D printing? A team of seven students from No. 34 Middle School in Zhengzhou, Henan, have won awards for their creative 3-D printing works.

Two of the team's works took home the top prize at the International Youth Innovation Design Competition. It was held in France this summer. One of their works had the theme "China's New Era　 (时代) ". The other work was an ancient Chinese palace. They sent the work as a gift to local officials in Lille, France.

The team members learned how to print in their school's 3-D printing club. They took classes twice a week to learn 3-D printing. To make 3-D printed items, they first draw a blueprint　 (蓝图) . Then, they use a computer to design models of the pieces they need. After that, they use a 3-D printer to print the pieces and assemble (组装) them, as Liu Songyuan, 14, said.

But knowing how to use the tools is just one part of mastering 3-D printing. One also has to have imagination. To show the theme "China's New Era", they printed out items standing for high-speed trains, bike sharing, cashless payment and online shopping. They placed these items around a dragon, which represented China. They made this work within just three hours, winning a national 3-D printing competition in China and later the international competition.

When they got to the international competition, they wanted to present something that stood for traditional Chinese culture. They were inspired (启迪) by a trip to the palace Museum. "When we saw the buildings there, we thought 'That's it!" said Zhang Jiuxing, 14. They took photos of the buildings and did a lot of research to make their 3-D-printed works more realistic　 (逼真的) . "We will continue to learn about this technology and make more creative things, "Zhang added.

1.How many students are there in the team?

A.8. B.2. C.6. D.7.

2.Which country held the International Youth Innovation Design Competition?

A.Russia. B.The UK. C.China. D.France

3.How often did the team members take classes to learn 3-D printing?

A.Twice a week B.Once a week. C.Once a month. D.Three times a week.

4.According to Liu Songyuan, what's the right order to make 3-D-printed items?

① They use a computer to design models of the pieces they need.

② They use a 3-D printer to print the pieces and assemble them.

③ They draw a blueprint.

A.①②③ B.②③① C.③①② D.③②①

5.From the passage we can learn that____________________.

A.if you know how to use the tools, you can master 3-D printing

B.it's still a long way for the students to make creative and realistic 3-D works

C.it's easy for the students to make a 3-D-printed work

D.both of the works stood for China's traditional culture
