《2025年阅读与训练听读训练七年级英语上册译林版》

C
Dear class,
Today, I'm going to talk about my hobby. Some people play sport and others build models, but my hobby is collecting stamps. I love stamps because they are very beautiful. They can also teach me a lot about different countries.
I have this hobby thanks to my grandpa. He is a stamp collector, and he has thousands of stamps. Some of them are valuable, so he always keeps them with great care. When Grandpa wants to enjoy his stamps, he will even wear white gloves! I sometimes help him take old stamps from envelopes(信封) and postcards. He likes to tell me interesting stories about the different stamps. It is almost like a History lesson.

Let me show you a very wonderful stamp of the Great Wall. It is my favourite because it was my first one. My grandpa bought it for me. "They built it thousands of years ago, and they built it to keep the enemies away," he told me. My grandpa also shared many other interesting stories about the Great Wall with me. Thanks to this stamp, I became interested in Chinese history, and I started to collect stamps. Now I have over a hundred of them, and I am learning more and more about countries around the world.
Thank you for listening!

答案： 9.C 10.A 11.B
解析：
9. 根据文中第三段“Thanks to this stamp, I became interested in Chinese history, and I started to collect stamps.”及第一段“They can also teach me a lot about different countries.”可知，作者开始喜欢集邮是因为能从邮票中学到很多。
10. 第二段提到“so he always keeps them with great care. When Grandpa wants to enjoy his stamps, he will even wear white gloves!”，可推测“valuable”意为“珍贵的，重要的”，与“Important”意思相近。
11. 文章主要讲述作者的集邮爱好，以及邮票背后的故事，尤其是爷爷通过邮票讲的故事，“Stamps have stories to tell”能概括主旨。
