22、One day last summer, watching the boys and girls trying to catch butterflies, I remembered something happened when I was young. When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that stopped me forever from wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.
We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening the mockingbirds(模仿鸟) would come and rest in the trees and sings. 【1】 I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician.
【2】 At first, the bird flew about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.
I had left the cage out, and on the second day my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. 【3】
Certainly the mother knew better than I about how to feed her baby.
The following morning when I went to see how my bird was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! 【4】
Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist(鸟学家), happened to be visiting my father at the time. Hearing me crying over the death of my bird, he explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poisonous(有毒的)berries(干果). 【5】 ”
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.
A. I had taken good care of my little bird.
B. I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage.
C. I was pleased to see this.
D. No musician can sing more beautiful than the birds.
E. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in cage.

A: Yes, I agree! Let's ask Jim and Kate to go together. 【4】 ?
B: Yes. I can tell them about it on WeChat. 【5】 ?
A: At 9 o'clock tomorrow morning at the school gate.
B: OK. See you then.
24、 I live in Mentone, a quiet, simple, peaceful place, where the rich never come. I met Theophile Magnan, a retired, rich, old man from Lyons yesterday, in the Hotel des Anglais. Theophile looked sad and dreamy, and didn’t talk with anybody else, which brought me back to the past.
A long time ago, Francois Millet, Claude, Carl and I were young artists—very young artists—in fact.
Yes, Francois Millet, the great French artist, was my friend.
Millet wasn’t any greater than we were at that time. He wasn’t known, even in his own village.
We were all poor though we had stocks(存货) and stocks of as good pictures as anybody in Europe painted. Once a person ever offered four francs (法郎) for Millet’s “Angelus”, which he meant to sell for eight.
It was a fact in human history that a great artist would never be accepted until after he was starved and dead. His pictures climbed to high prices after his death.
Then we made a decision that one of us must die, to save the others and himself.
Millet was chosen, chosen to die.
During the next three months Millet painted with all his power, enlarged his stock all he could, not pictures, no! sketches, studies, parts of studies, fragments of studies, of course, with his cipher(暗号) on them.
They were the things to be sold.
Carl went to Paris to start the work of building up Millet’s name. Claude and I went to sell Millet’s small pictures and to build up his name as well.
We made Millet a master. I always said to my customer, “I am a fool to sell a picture of Francois Millet’s at all, for he is not going to live three months, and when he dies, his pictures can’t be had for love or money.”
Claude and I took care to spread that little fact as far as we could.
Carl made friends with the reporters, and got Millet’s condition reported to England and all over the Europe, and America, and everywhere.
The sad end came at last, Millet died, not really. He became Theophile Magnan.
The pictures went up. There’s a man in Paris today who owns seventy Millet pictures. He paid us two million francs for them. Do you still remember the “Angelus”? Carl sold it for twenty-two hundred francs.
We are no longer artists and Millet dead.
【1】Why did the four friends decide to choose one of them to die?
A.They wanted to be rich. B.They wanted to be famous.
C.They wanted to save money. D.They wanted to be respected.
【2】Which of these is a fact based on the passage?
A.The story was written in memory of Millet.
B.Millet was still alive but had a new name.
C.Millet lived a wealthy life at first.
D.Millet failed to make a famous artist.
【3】What made the four friends’ plan succeed?
A.That they didn’t want to be artists any longer.
B.That Millet’s pictures were sold at very high prices.
C.That people had pity on these poor artists.
D.People’s wish to own valuable art works at low prices.
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、 “If you don't behave, I'll call the police” is a lie that parents might use to get their young children to behave. A new psychological(心理学的) study led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore suggests that it is connected with harmful effects when the children become adults.
The research team asked 379 Singaporean young adults whether their parents lied to them when they were children, how much they lie to their parents as adults, and how well they respond(响应) adulthood challenges.
The first questionnaire asked these young adults to recall if their parents told them lies about eating, leaving or staying, spending money and so on. Some examples of such lies are “If you don't come with me now, I will leave you here by yourself” and “I don’t bring money with me today, we can come back another day”. The second questionnaire included questions that could show how often they lie to their parents as adults. Lastly, these young adults filled in two other questionnaires that asked them about their psychosocial problems and tendency (趋势) to behave selfishly and impulsively(冲动地).
Adults who reported being lied to more as children were more likely to report lying to their parents in their adulthood. They also said they faced greater difficulty in meeting psychological and social challenges.
Lead author Setoh Peipei from NTU Singapore's School of Social Sciences said, “Parenting by lying
can seem to save time, especially when the real reasons behind why parents want children to do something are difficult to explain. When parents tell children that ‘honesty is the best policy’, but display dishonesty by lying, such behavior can send negative (消极的) messages to their children. Parents' dishonesty may finally erode trust and encourage dishonesty in children.”
“Our research suggests that parenting by lying is a practice that has negative influence on children when they grow up. Parents should be aware of these possible risks and consider other ways to replace lying, such as knowing children's feelings, giving information so children know what to expect, offering choices and solving problems together, to encourage children to have good behavior, ”said lead author Setoh Peipe.
But the study has its limitations. Some limitations of the study include depending on what young adults report about their parents' lying. “Future research can explore using many informants(提供信息的人), such as parents, to report on the same thing.” suggested Setoh.
【1】What did the research team do during the study?
A.They turned to 379 Singaporean children.
B.They looked for questionnaires on the Internet.
C.They collected answers to some sets of questions.
D.They asked the young adults parents for information.
【2】What does the underlined word “erode” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.建立 B.增进 C.毁坏 D.恢复
【3】Which of the following might Setoh Peipei agree with?
A.Parents can sometimes tell harmless lies to their kids.
B.Parents had better explain to their kids why they’ve lied.
C.Parents who like lying are more likely to behave selfishly.
D.Parents should use positive ways instead of lying during parenting.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.Parents' lying to children can influence them negatively.
B.Parents lie to children to save themselves some trouble.
C.Children's behavior can be affected by their parents.
D.Children may lie more if their parents often lie.
