Keeping eye contact during a conversation gives the impression that you are friendly and that you are paying attention to the other person. OK Gesture It can be used to mean “okay” or “all right.” In some parts of Europe, however, the same signal is used to express you are nothing. In some South American countries, the symbol is actually a rude action. C D Nod In most cases, nodding the head up and down often means agreement, but not for the Greeks. Nodding one’s head up and down for them actually means “no”, especially nodding your head slightly upward. Thumbs up This widely recognized sign of agreement is actually used as a rudeness in Bangladesh. But in U.K., when you are standing on the street and thumb up, which means “get me a ride”. 21．Tony wants to express friendliness while talking with others. may help him. 22．Alice is in the street of Britain now, and she needs a ride to visit Big Ben. may help her. 23．Paul wants to refuse the help from his Greek friend. may help him. （二）阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 B Because of a lack of trained lifeguards to watch over swimming pools, a team of scientists from Germany has developed an underwater robot to help lifeguards in rescuing (救援) swimmers in emergencies. According to scientists, there are some typical postures that you can use to recognize when someone is in danger. The robot has been tested in a variety of settings including indoor pools and open water. If swimmers’ movements are consistent with drowning (溺亡), the information of the drowning person will be sent out, which is stored in a docking station on the pool floor, and it will be released by a signal from the monitoring cameras. Once the robot receives the signal and reaches its destination, it will carry the endangered person to the surface. What’s more, the robot is designed with a set of moving parts to keep the lifeless person from sliding down as the robot surfaces. When the robot is tested at lakes and other outdoor settings, drones (无人机) took on the task of the monitoring cameras. For rescues in swimming lakes where the visibility is limited, the underwater vehicle must be equipped with acoustic sensors (声音传感器). Sound wave echoes can be used to determine people’s positions so precisely that the robot can autonomously head for the target person and pick them up. When the robot is informed of an emergency (紧急情况), a signal will warn the team immediately. “The current system is 90 centimeters long, 50 centimeters high, and 50 centimeters wide and looks like an underwater submersible that might be used for exploring ship wrecks. The central innovation (创新)of the system is the side folding wings that fix lifeless people on a stretcher without injuring them. To bring them to the surface of the water, balloons are filled with a total of 15 to 20 kilos of buoyancy (浮力). The research team are still doing research on the robot, aiming to make future versions smaller, lighter and less expensive. At present, a patent has already been filed for the aquatic robot. In modified versions, it can take on further tasks—such as offshore and dam wall (坝墙)inspections or being used to monitor the health of fish in fish farms. 24．Why did German scientists invent an underwater robot? A．To help lifeguards to rescue. B．To prevent swimmers practicing. C．To check if there are emergencies. D．To watch over the swimming pools. 25．The expression “be released” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”. A．be sent out B．be controlled C．be taken up D．be delivered 26．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．A Robot to Build Dam Walls B．A Robot to Prevent Drowning C．A Robot to Protect Lifeguards D．A Robot to Improve Swimmers’ Skills C As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, do people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it. In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder（文件夹）. Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location（位置）better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory（交互记忆）”. According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing. 27．What can we learn about the first experiment? A．Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer. B．The two groups remembered the information equally well. C．The first group did not try to remember the information. D．The second group did not understand the information. 28．In transactive memory, people ________. A．keep the information in mind B．change the quantity of information C．organize information like a computer D．remember how to find the information 29．What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research? A．We are using memory differently. B．We are becoming more intelligent. C．We have poorer memories than before. D．We need a better way to access information. D In 1883, an imaginative engineer named John Roebling decided to build a spectacular(壮观的)bridge connecting New York with Long Island. However, bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was a pipe dream. It was not practical. It had never been done before. But Roebling refused to listen to them. He thought about the bridge day and night and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. After much discussion and persuasion he convinced (说服) his son Washington, who was a promising engineer himself, that the bridge in fact could be built. Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be done. With great excitement, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge. The project started well, but several months after it began, a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was so seriously injured that he was never able to walk, talk or even move again. "We told them so", "Crazy men and their crazy dreams", "It's foolish to chase (追求) wild visions", the critics said and most thought the project should be ended since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge can be built. In spite of his handicap Washington still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever. Washington's wife tried to inspire and pass on her husband's enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted by the task. As he lay in his hospital room, an idea suddenly hit him. All he could do was to move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this finger and tapping (轻叩) it on his wife's arm, he slowly developed a code (代码) to communicate with her. Then he used this way to tell his wife what the engineers should do. It seemed crazy but the project was under way again. For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute (致敬) to the great success of one man's spirit and his determination not to be defeated by circumstances (境遇). 30．The underlined word "daunted"  (para.6) is closest in meaning to "__________". A．unpleasant B．amazed C．scared D．determined 31．Which of the following shows the correct order of the events that happened in the story? a. Roebling convinced his son. b. Washington found a new way to communicate. c. They hired the crew. d. The bridge was completed. e. Roebling wanted to build a bridge. f. There was a tragic accident. A．e, a, c, f, d, b B．e, a, c, f, b, d C．e, f, a, b, c, d D．e, a, f, b, c, d 32．What can we learn about Washington's wife? A．She was devoted to her husband. B．She knew sign language very well. C．She developed a code to communicate with her husband. D．She helped her husband design the plan. 33．What does the story tell us? A．Success will come with the passing of time. B．Struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. C．The people who make a difference in our life should be remembered forever. D．Even the most distant dream can be realized with a never-say-die attitude. 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The Future Is Far Away! Alyssa Carson is a teenager and she already has a big dream for her future. If her dream comes true, she’ll fly into space. But she doesn’t want to orbit（环绕……运行）the earth on the space station or go to the moon. Alyssa wants to travel to Mars, the red planet. So, is this just a dream? No. Alyssa made the decision when she was three years old because the idea was exciting and “no one’s been there!” After that she read lots of books on Mars and attended her first space camp when she was seven. Since then, she’s learned a lot about travelling to other planets. It’s an expensive trip which requires many years of training. This is a problem for Alyssa’s family, but her parents try to support her because she has been trying her best to make her dream come true. Alyssa believes we are the Mars generation and that the mission（飞行任务） to Mars will help us get to know the planet better. More than 100, 000 people have already applied（申请）for a journey to Mars. If they pass the tests, like Alyssa, they will start a training program. She has a certificate（证书）in scuba diving and is already working on her pilot’s license. Both these things, as well as a certificate in skydiving are important for an astronaut’s training. And it’s necessary to speak several languages if you want to be an astronaut. Alyssa speaks Spanish, French, Chinese and some Turkish, so this should be enough! Only a few people can go on the first Mars mission. The flight to Mars won’t be easy. They will spend hundreds of days together in a very tight space! So, if you were an astronaut on Mars, what would life be like? You would live in an extremely small space called a “pod” and you would wear a space suit all the time. If you made a phone call home, it would take half an hour for the sound to reach the earth! Also, if you got ill, there wouldn’t be any hospitals. Life wouldn’t be as easy, that’s for sure! But it would be really exciting. 34．Where does Alyssa want to travel? 35．Why do Alyssa’s parents support her? 36．What are the important things for an astronaut’s training? 37．What do you think of Alyssa? Why do you think so? （List two reasons） 五、文段表达（10分） 从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据所给的中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出真实的校名和姓名。 38．你还记得Tom Sawyer和Becky受困于山洞的故事吗？以下图片描述了他们成功自救的过程。请根据关键词提示续写故事。 要求： 1. 80词左右；可适当发挥； 2. 故事内容合理、完整；句子及篇章结构准确、连贯； 3. 不得透露学校、姓名等个人信息，否则不予评分。 Tom and Becky had been trapped in the cave for a long time. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 39．在八年级学习生活已经结束，你们是新初三的学生了。请同学们写一篇自我介绍，把自己介绍给新初三的老师们。假定你是李华，请你用英语写一篇短文。内容包括： 性格 爱好 耐心、活跃，喜欢和人打交道；人生格言（自拟1-2句话） 颜色 心情 黄色：想起温暖晴朗的日子；当希望成功的时候：红色：身心需要力量；当做决定遇到困难时 梦想 职业 （自拟1-2句话） 注意： （1） 词数80词左右； （2） 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； （3）文中不能出现真实姓名及学校名称； ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 押题密卷 第3页（共8页） 押题密卷 第4页（共8页） 第1页（共8页） 第2页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 北京卷 2024-2025学年九年级上学期英语新课标（核心素养）优秀生开学检测试题 考生须知： 1. 本试卷共两部分，五道大题，38道小题，满分60分，考试时间90分钟。 2. 在试卷和草稿纸上准确填写姓名、准考证号、考场号和座位号。 3. 试题答案一律填涂或书写在答题卡上，在试卷上作答无效。 4. 在答题卡上，选择题用2B 铅笔作答，其他试题用黑色字迹签字笔作答。 5. 考试结束， 请将本试卷、答题卡和草稿纸一并交回。 第一部分 一、单项填空（每题0.5分，共6分） 从下面各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 1．—She didn’t go to school late yesterday, did she? —________, though it rained hard yesterday.

OK Gesture It can be used to mean “okay” or “all right.” In some parts of Europe, however, the same signal is used to express you are nothing. In some South American countries, the symbol is actually a rude action. C D Nod In most cases, nodding the head up and down often means agreement, but not for the Greeks. Nodding one’s head up and down for them actually means “no”, especially nodding your head slightly upward. Thumbs up This widely recognized sign of agreement is actually used as a rudeness in Bangladesh. But in U.K., when you are standing on the street and thumb up, which means “get me a ride”. 21．Tony wants to express friendliness while talking with others. may help him. 22．Alice is in the street of Britain now, and she needs a ride to visit Big Ben. may help her. 23．Paul wants to refuse the help from his Greek friend. may help him. 【答案】21．A 22．D 23．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四种体态语言的有关情况。作者告诉我们，不同国家或地区对于体态语言的理解也是不同的，甚至最基本的点头和摇头的意义在不同的地区意思也可能完全相反。 21．细节理解题。根据“Keeping eye contact during a conversation gives the impression that you are friendly and that you are paying attention to the other person.”可知，在与他人谈话时，保持眼神交流给人的印象是你很友好，表示你在关注对方。如果托尼想在与他人交谈时表达友好，就可以保持眼神交流。故选A。 22．细节理解题。根据“But in U.K., when you are standing on the street and thumb up, which means ‘get me a ride’.”可知，但在英国，当你站在街上竖起大拇指时，意思是“让我搭车”。所以爱丽丝要搭车去参观大本钟，她就可以站在街上竖起大拇指。故选D。 23．细节理解题。根据“In most cases, nodding the head up and down often means agreement, but not for the Greeks.”可知，对希腊人来说上下点头通常表示不同意。因此，保罗可以上下点头来拒绝他的希腊朋友的帮助。故选C。 （二）阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 B Because of a lack of trained lifeguards to watch over swimming pools, a team of scientists from Germany has developed an underwater robot to help lifeguards in rescuing (救援) swimmers in emergencies. According to scientists, there are some typical postures that you can use to recognize when someone is in danger. The robot has been tested in a variety of settings including indoor pools and open water. If swimmers’ movements are consistent with drowning (溺亡), the information of the drowning person will be sent out, which is stored in a docking station on the pool floor, and it will be released by a signal from the monitoring cameras. Once the robot receives the signal and reaches its destination, it will carry the endangered person to the surface. What’s more, the robot is designed with a set of moving parts to keep the lifeless person from sliding down as the robot surfaces. When the robot is tested at lakes and other outdoor settings, drones (无人机) took on the task of the monitoring cameras. For rescues in swimming lakes where the visibility is limited, the underwater vehicle must be equipped with acoustic sensors (声音传感器). Sound wave echoes can be used to determine people’s positions so precisely that the robot can autonomously head for the target person and pick them up. When the robot is informed of an emergency (紧急情况), a signal will warn the team immediately. “The current system is 90 centimeters long, 50 centimeters high, and 50 centimeters wide and looks like an underwater submersible that might be used for exploring ship wrecks. The central innovation (创新)of the system is the side folding wings that fix lifeless people on a stretcher without injuring them. To bring them to the surface of the water, balloons are filled with a total of 15 to 20 kilos of buoyancy (浮力). The research team are still doing research on the robot, aiming to make future versions smaller, lighter and less expensive. At present, a patent has already been filed for the aquatic robot. In modified versions, it can take on further tasks—such as offshore and dam wall (坝墙)inspections or being used to monitor the health of fish in fish farms. 24．Why did German scientists invent an underwater robot? A．To help lifeguards to rescue. B．To prevent swimmers practicing. C．To check if there are emergencies. D．To watch over the swimming pools. 25．The expression “be released” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”. A．be sent out B．be controlled C．be taken up D．be delivered 26．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．A Robot to Build Dam Walls B．A Robot to Prevent Drowning C．A Robot to Protect Lifeguards D．A Robot to Improve Swimmers’ Skills 【答案】24．A 25．A 26．B 【导语】本文介绍的是防溺水机器人。 24．细节理解题。根据“a team of scientists from Germany has developed an underwater robot to help lifeguards in rescuing (救援) swimmers in emergencies.”可知，为了帮助救生员营救。故选A。 25．词义猜测题。根据“If swimmers’ movements are consistent with drowning (溺亡), the information of the drowning person will be sent out, which is stored in a docking station on the pool floor, and it will be released by a signal from the monitoring cameras.”可知，如果游泳者的动作与溺水一致，溺水者的信息将被发送出去，这些信息存储在游泳池地板上的一个坞站中，并通过监控摄像头的信号发布。因此划线单词的意思是“发出”，与send out一致。故选A。 26．最佳标题题。根据“Because of a lack of trained lifeguards to watch over swimming pools, a team of scientists from Germany has developed an underwater robot to help lifeguards in rescuing (救援) swimmers in emergencies.”以及通读全文可知，本文讲述的是一款防溺水机器人。故选B。 C As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, do people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it. In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder（文件夹）. Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location（位置）better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory（交互记忆）”. According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing. 27．What can we learn about the first experiment? A．Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer. B．The two groups remembered the information equally well. C．The first group did not try to remember the information. D．The second group did not understand the information. 28．In transactive memory, people ________. A．keep the information in mind B．change the quantity of information C．organize information like a computer D．remember how to find the information 29．What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research? A．We are using memory differently. B．We are becoming more intelligent. C．We have poorer memories than before. D．We need a better way to access information. 【答案】27．C 28．D 29．A 【解析】本文是议论文。文章主要讲的是互联网给人类的记忆带来的影响。 27．细节理解题。根据第二段“People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.”可知，第一组没有尝试记住信息。故选C。 28． 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called 'transactive memory'”可知，在交互记忆里，人们记得怎样找到信息。故选D。 29．推理判断题。根据最后一段“but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing”可知，互联网对人们的记忆产生的影响是它改变了我们使用记忆力的方式。故选A。 D In 1883, an imaginative engineer named John Roebling decided to build a spectacular(壮观的)bridge connecting New York with Long Island. However, bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was a pipe dream. It was not practical. It had never been done before. But Roebling refused to listen to them. He thought about the bridge day and night and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. After much discussion and persuasion he convinced (说服) his son Washington, who was a promising engineer himself, that the bridge in fact could be built. Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be done. With great excitement, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge. The project started well, but several months after it began, a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was so seriously injured that he was never able to walk, talk or even move again. "We told them so", "Crazy men and their crazy dreams", "It's foolish to chase (追求) wild visions", the critics said and most thought the project should be ended since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge can be built. In spite of his handicap Washington still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever. Washington's wife tried to inspire and pass on her husband's enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted by the task. As he lay in his hospital room, an idea suddenly hit him. All he could do was to move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this finger and tapping (轻叩) it on his wife's arm, he slowly developed a code (代码) to communicate with her. Then he used this way to tell his wife what the engineers should do. It seemed crazy but the project was under way again. For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute (致敬) to the great success of one man's spirit and his determination not to be defeated by circumstances (境遇). 30．The underlined word "daunted"  (para.6) is closest in meaning to "__________". A．unpleasant B．amazed C．scared D．determined 31．Which of the following shows the correct order of the events that happened in the story? a. Roebling convinced his son. b. Washington found a new way to communicate. c. They hired the crew. d. The bridge was completed. e. Roebling wanted to build a bridge. f. There was a tragic accident. A．e, a, c, f, d, b B．e, a, c, f, b, d C．e, f, a, b, c, d D．e, a, f, b, c, d 32．What can we learn about Washington's wife? A．She was devoted to her husband. B．She knew sign language very well. C．She developed a code to communicate with her husband. D．She helped her husband design the plan. 33．What does the story tell us? A．Success will come with the passing of time. B．Struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. C．The people who make a difference in our life should be remembered forever. D．Even the most distant dream can be realized with a never-say-die attitude. 【答案】30．C 31．B 32．A 33．D 【分析】本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述华盛顿和他的父亲打算建一个许多人认为不可能的桥，在建造过程中出了意外，华盛顿的父亲去世，而华盛顿也不能够走路、说话甚至移动，最后在妻子的帮助下，最后这个大桥终于建成。通过这个故事告诉我们，只要我们有永不言弃的态度，任何遥远的梦想都能实现。 30．词义猜测题。根据It's foolish to chase (追求) wild visions", the critics said and most thought the project should be ended since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge can be built“评论家们说：追求不切实际的幻想是愚蠢的。大多数人认为这个项目应该结束，因为只有罗布林知道如何建造这座桥”以及Washington's wife tried to inspire and pass on her husband's enthusiasm to some of his friends“华盛顿的妻子试图激发他并且向他的一些朋友传递他的热忱”可知，专家都认为这是不可能的事情，所以他的朋友听说后都会感到恐惧，故选C。 31．细节理解题。根据In 1883, an imaginative engineer named John Roebling decided to build a spectacular(壮观的)bridge connecting New York with Long Island“在1883年，一个叫做约翰罗布林的有想象力的工程师决定建立一个连接纽约和长岛的大桥”；After much discussion and persuasion he convinced (说服) his son Washington, who was a promising engineer himself, that the bridge in fact could be built“在许多次讨论和劝说后，他成功说服他的儿子华盛顿，他的儿子是一个有前途的工程师，这个大桥事实上可以被建造”；With great excitement, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge“带着兴奋的心情，他们雇佣了他们的员工并且开始建造他们梦想的大桥”；The project started well, but several months after it began, a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling“这个工程开始很好，但是开始后几个月，一个悲剧性的事故夺去了约翰罗布林的生命”；As he lay in his hospital room, an idea suddenly hit him. All he could do was to move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it“当他躺在医院的房间里，他突然想起一个主意，他所能做的就是移动一根手指，并且决定充分利用它”；For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed“在十三年的时间里，华盛顿在他的妻子的胳膊上敲打他的指令，直到这个大桥最终建成”可知，顺序为e，a，c，f，b，d，故选B。 32．推理判断题。根据Washington's wife tried to inspire and pass on her husband's enthusiasm to some of his friends“华盛顿的妻子试图激发他并且向他的一些朋友传递他的热忱”以及For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed“在十三年的时间里，华盛顿在他的妻子的胳膊上敲打他的指令，直到这个大桥最终建成”可知，虽然华盛顿不能动弹，但是他的妻子不离不弃，帮助他完成这个项目，所以他的妻子坚贞不渝，将她自己投入到他的丈夫的事业中，故选A。 33．推理判断题。根据全文可知，华盛顿和他的父亲修一座大桥，后来出了事故，他的父亲去世了，而他躺在病床上，专家们都认为这是不可能的任务。但是他花了13年的时间，通过敲他妻子的胳膊发出指令，随后修成了这做大桥，所以告诉我们只要有永不言败的态度，一切梦想都会实现。故选D。 【点睛】解答词义猜测题时，可以使用如下技巧：1、根据上下文来猜测词义；2、通过同义词或近义词来猜测词义；3、通过构词法来猜测词义；4、通过定义或释义来猜测词义；5、通过句法功能来猜测词义；6、通过转折和因果关系来猜测词义；7. 通过生活常识来猜测词义。对于这类题采取“代入法”也非常有效，即将备选答案逐一代入文中，哪一个选项能使句子的意思通顺、连贯，且与上下文的内容一致，哪一个选项就是该题的正确答案 例如第30题。根据It's foolish to chase (追求) wild visions", the critics said and most thought the project should be ended since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge can be built“评论家们说：追求不切实际的幻想是愚蠢的。大多数人认为这个项目应该结束，因为只有罗布林知道如何建造这座桥”以及Washington's wife tried to inspire and pass on her husband's enthusiasm to some of his friends“华盛顿的妻子试图激发他并且向他的一些朋友传递他的热忱”可知，专家都认为这是不可能的事情，所以他的朋友听说后都会感到恐惧，故选C。 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The Future Is Far Away! Alyssa Carson is a teenager and she already has a big dream for her future. If her dream comes true, she’ll fly into space. But she doesn’t want to orbit（环绕……运行）the earth on the space station or go to the moon. Alyssa wants to travel to Mars, the red planet. So, is this just a dream? No. Alyssa made the decision when she was three years old because the idea was exciting and “no one’s been there!” After that she read lots of books on Mars and attended her first space camp when she was seven. Since then, she’s learned a lot about travelling to other planets. It’s an expensive trip which requires many years of training. This is a problem for Alyssa’s family, but her parents try to support her because she has been trying her best to make her dream come true. Alyssa believes we are the Mars generation and that the mission（飞行任务） to Mars will help us get to know the planet better. More than 100, 000 people have already applied（申请）for a journey to Mars. If they pass the tests, like Alyssa, they will start a training program. She has a certificate（证书）in scuba diving and is already working on her pilot’s license. Both these things, as well as a certificate in skydiving are important for an astronaut’s training. And it’s necessary to speak several languages if you want to be an astronaut. Alyssa speaks Spanish, French, Chinese and some Turkish, so this should be enough! Only a few people can go on the first Mars mission. The flight to Mars won’t be easy. They will spend hundreds of days together in a very tight space! So, if you were an astronaut on Mars, what would life be like? You would live in an extremely small space called a “pod” and you would wear a space suit all the time. If you made a phone call home, it would take half an hour for the sound to reach the earth! Also, if you got ill, there wouldn’t be any hospitals. Life wouldn’t be as easy, that’s for sure! But it would be really exciting. 34．Where does Alyssa want to travel? 35．Why do Alyssa’s parents support her? 36．What are the important things for an astronaut’s training? 37．What do you think of Alyssa? Why do you think so? （List two reasons） 【答案】 34． She wants to travel to Mars. 35． Because she has been trying her best to make her dream come true. 36． A certificate in scuba diving, pilot’s license and a certificate in skydiving. 37．She is a very hard-working person. Because she read lots of books on Mars and can speak several languages. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了艾莉莎•卡森为实现自己的太空梦而努力的故事。 34．根据第一段“Alyssa wants to travel to Mars, the red planet.（艾莉莎想去火星旅行，那颗红色的星球。）”可知，艾莉莎想去火星旅行。故填She wants to travel to Mars. 35．根据第二段“This is a problem for Alyssa’s family, but her parents try to support her because she has been trying her best to make her dream come true.（这对艾莉莎的家庭来说是一个问题，但她的父母试图支持她，因为她一直在努力实现自己的梦想。）”可知，是因为艾莉莎一直在努力实现自己的梦想，所以她的父母才支持她。故填Because she has been trying her best to make her dream come true. 36．根据第三段“She has a certificate in scuba diving and is already working on her pilot’s license. Both these things as well as a certificate in skydiving are important for an astronaut’s training.（她有水肺潜水证书，并且正在攻读飞行员执照。这两件事以及跳伞证书对宇航员的训练都很重要。）”可知，水肺潜水证书，飞行员执照和跳伞证书对宇航员的训练很重要。故填A certificate in scuba diving, pilot’s license and a certificate in skydiving. 37．根据第二段“After that she read lots of books on Mars and attended her first space camp when she was seven.（在那之后，她读了很多关于火星的书，并在七岁时参加了她的第一次太空夏令营。）”以及第三段“She has a certificate in scuba diving and is already working on her pilot’s license. Both these things, as well as a certificate in skydiving are important for an astronaut’s training. And it’s necessary to speak several languages if you want to be an astronaut. Alyssa speaks Spanish, French, Chinese and some Turkish, so this should be enough!（她有水肺潜水证书，并且正在攻读飞行员执照。这两件事，以及跳伞证书对宇航员的训练都很重要。如果你想成为一名宇航员，说几种语言是必要的。艾莉莎会说西班牙语、法语、中文和一些土耳其语，所以这应该足够了!）可知，艾莉莎是一个很努力的人。故填She is a very hard-working person. Because she read lots of books on Mars and can speak several languages. 五、文段表达（10分） 从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据所给的中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出真实的校名和姓名。 38．你还记得Tom Sawyer和Becky受困于山洞的故事吗？以下图片描述了他们成功自救的过程。请根据关键词提示续写故事。 要求： 1. 80词左右；可适当发挥； 2. 故事内容合理、完整；句子及篇章结构准确、连贯； 3. 不得透露学校、姓名等个人信息，否则不予评分。 Tom and Becky had been trapped in the cave for a long time. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Tom and Becky had been trapped in the cave for a long time.

Before the competition, I nervously waited for the gun. When someone 16 the gun, I was off, swimming towards the distant buoy (浮标) that marked my turn. I finished the half-mile swim and ran towards my bike. I was dripping 17 , trying to get on it. Once on my bike, I experienced a particular excitement of 18 . I went through the transition zone (转换区) again and switched to my running shoes. At the start of the run part of the triathlon, my legs already felt like they were made of cement (水泥) . For me, the real competition began during the run, because now I could see each 19 as a goal. No matter my position in the field, each racer was either following me or being followed. The run part of the race boiled down to pain tolerance. “Shut up, legs”, one of my favorite sayings, kept me from thinking about the 20 feeling. Then I crossed the finish line. I took a breath and then began a celebration with the other finishers. The sense of achievement was there for all of us. Looking back, I remember the small boy on that day in Montauk who thought he couldn’t do it. Now, that same boy is not only a huge fan, but also a training partner. 13．A．showed B．paid C．worked D．made 14．A．afford B．improve C．benefit D．achieve 15．A．changed B．turned C．went D．carried 16．A．started B．jumped C．fired D．showed 17．A．hot B．dry C．wet D．cold 18．A．cycling B．running C．traveling D．swimming 19．A．competitor B．person C．partner D．cycler 20．A．exciting B．disappointing C．satisfying D．burning 三、阅读理解（每题2分，共26分） （一） A A B Eye Contact Eye contact is the act of looking into someone’s eyes. Keeping eye contact during a conversation gives the impression that you are friendly and that you are paying attention to the other person. OK Gesture It can be used to mean “okay” or “all right.” In some parts of Europe, however, the same signal is used to express you are nothing. In some South American countries, the symbol is actually a rude action. C D Nod In most cases, nodding the head up and down often means agreement, but not for the Greeks. Nodding one’s head up and down for them actually means “no”, especially nodding your head slightly upward. Thumbs up This widely recognized sign of agreement is actually used as a rudeness in Bangladesh. But in U.K., when you are standing on the street and thumb up, which means “get me a ride”. 21．Tony wants to express friendliness while talking with others. may help him. 22．Alice is in the street of Britain now, and she needs a ride to visit Big Ben. may help her. 23．Paul wants to refuse the help from his Greek friend. may help him. （二）阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 B Because of a lack of trained lifeguards to watch over swimming pools, a team of scientists from Germany has developed an underwater robot to help lifeguards in rescuing (救援) swimmers in emergencies. According to scientists, there are some typical postures that you can use to recognize when someone is in danger. The robot has been tested in a variety of settings including indoor pools and open water. If swimmers’ movements are consistent with drowning (溺亡), the information of the drowning person will be sent out, which is stored in a docking station on the pool floor, and it will be released by a signal from the monitoring cameras. Once the robot receives the signal and reaches its destination, it will carry the endangered person to the surface. What’s more, the robot is designed with a set of moving parts to keep the lifeless person from sliding down as the robot surfaces. When the robot is tested at lakes and other outdoor settings, drones (无人机) took on the task of the monitoring cameras. For rescues in swimming lakes where the visibility is limited, the underwater vehicle must be equipped with acoustic sensors (声音传感器). Sound wave echoes can be used to determine people’s positions so precisely that the robot can autonomously head for the target person and pick them up. When the robot is informed of an emergency (紧急情况), a signal will warn the team immediately. “The current system is 90 centimeters long, 50 centimeters high, and 50 centimeters wide and looks like an underwater submersible that might be used for exploring ship wrecks. The central innovation (创新)of the system is the side folding wings that fix lifeless people on a stretcher without injuring them. To bring them to the surface of the water, balloons are filled with a total of 15 to 20 kilos of buoyancy (浮力). The research team are still doing research on the robot, aiming to make future versions smaller, lighter and less expensive. At present, a patent has already been filed for the aquatic robot. In modified versions, it can take on further tasks—such as offshore and dam wall (坝墙)inspections or being used to monitor the health of fish in fish farms. 24．Why did German scientists invent an underwater robot? A．To help lifeguards to rescue. B．To prevent swimmers practicing. C．To check if there are emergencies. D．To watch over the swimming pools. 25．The expression “be released” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”. A．be sent out B．be controlled C．be taken up D．be delivered 26．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．A Robot to Build Dam Walls B．A Robot to Prevent Drowning C．A Robot to Protect Lifeguards D．A Robot to Improve Swimmers’ Skills C As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, do people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it. In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder（文件夹）. Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location（位置）better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory（交互记忆）”. According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing. 27．What can we learn about the first experiment? A．Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer. B．The two groups remembered the information equally well. C．The first group did not try to remember the information. D．The second group did not understand the information. 28．In transactive memory, people ________. A．keep the information in mind B．change the quantity of information C．organize information like a computer D．remember how to find the information 29．What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research? A．We are using memory differently. B．We are becoming more intelligent. C．We have poorer memories than before. D．We need a better way to access information. D In 1883, an imaginative engineer named John Roebling decided to build a spectacular(壮观的)bridge connecting New York with Long Island. However, bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was a pipe dream. It was not practical. It had never been done before. But Roebling refused to listen to them. He thought about the bridge day and night and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. After much discussion and persuasion he convinced (说服) his son Washington, who was a promising engineer himself, that the bridge in fact could be built. Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be done. With great excitement, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge. The project started well, but several months after it began, a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was so seriously injured that he was never able to walk, talk or even move again. "We told them so", "Crazy men and their crazy dreams", "It's foolish to chase (追求) wild visions", the critics said and most thought the project should be ended since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge can be built. In spite of his handicap Washington still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever. Washington's wife tried to inspire and pass on her husband's enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted by the task. As he lay in his hospital room, an idea suddenly hit him. All he could do was to move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this finger and tapping (轻叩) it on his wife's arm, he slowly developed a code (代码) to communicate with her. Then he used this way to tell his wife what the engineers should do. It seemed crazy but the project was under way again. For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute (致敬) to the great success of one man's spirit and his determination not to be defeated by circumstances (境遇). 30．The underlined word "daunted"  (para.6) is closest in meaning to "__________". A．unpleasant B．amazed C．scared D．determined 31．Which of the following shows the correct order of the events that happened in the story? a. Roebling convinced his son. b. Washington found a new way to communicate. c. They hired the crew. d. The bridge was completed. e. Roebling wanted to build a bridge. f. There was a tragic accident. A．e, a, c, f, d, b B．e, a, c, f, b, d C．e, f, a, b, c, d D．e, a, f, b, c, d 32．What can we learn about Washington's wife? A．She was devoted to her husband. B．She knew sign language very well. C．She developed a code to communicate with her husband. D．She helped her husband design the plan. 33．What does the story tell us? A．Success will come with the passing of time. B．Struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. C．The people who make a difference in our life should be remembered forever. D．Even the most distant dream can be realized with a never-say-die attitude. 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The Future Is Far Away! Alyssa Carson is a teenager and she already has a big dream for her future. If her dream comes true, she’ll fly into space. But she doesn’t want to orbit（环绕……运行）the earth on the space station or go to the moon. Alyssa wants to travel to Mars, the red planet. So, is this just a dream? No. Alyssa made the decision when she was three years old because the idea was exciting and “no one’s been there!” After that she read lots of books on Mars and attended her first space camp when she was seven. Since then, she’s learned a lot about travelling to other planets. It’s an expensive trip which requires many years of training. This is a problem for Alyssa’s family, but her parents try to support her because she has been trying her best to make her dream come true. Alyssa believes we are the Mars generation and that the mission（飞行任务） to Mars will help us get to know the planet better. More than 100, 000 people have already applied（申请）for a journey to Mars. If they pass the tests, like Alyssa, they will start a training program. She has a certificate（证书）in scuba diving and is already working on her pilot’s license. Both these things, as well as a certificate in skydiving are important for an astronaut’s training. And it’s necessary to speak several languages if you want to be an astronaut. Alyssa speaks Spanish, French, Chinese and some Turkish, so this should be enough! Only a few people can go on the first Mars mission. The flight to Mars won’t be easy. They will spend hundreds of days together in a very tight space! So, if you were an astronaut on Mars, what would life be like? You would live in an extremely small space called a “pod” and you would wear a space suit all the time. If you made a phone call home, it would take half an hour for the sound to reach the earth! Also, if you got ill, there wouldn’t be any hospitals. Life wouldn’t be as easy, that’s for sure! But it would be really exciting. 34．Where does Alyssa want to travel? 35．Why do Alyssa’s parents support her? 36．What are the important things for an astronaut’s training? 37．What do you think of Alyssa? Why do you think so? （List two reasons） 五、文段表达（10分） 从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据所给的中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出真实的校名和姓名。 38．你还记得Tom Sawyer和Becky受困于山洞的故事吗？以下图片描述了他们成功自救的过程。请根据关键词提示续写故事。 要求： 1. 80词左右；可适当发挥； 2. 故事内容合理、完整；句子及篇章结构准确、连贯； 3. 不得透露学校、姓名等个人信息，否则不予评分。 Tom and Becky had been trapped in the cave for a long time. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 39．在八年级学习生活已经结束，你们是新初三的学生了。请同学们写一篇自我介绍，把自己介绍给新初三的老师们。假定你是李华，请你用英语写一篇短文。内容包括： 性格 爱好 耐心、活跃，喜欢和人打交道；人生格言（自拟1-2句话） 颜色 心情 黄色：想起温暖晴朗的日子；当希望成功的时候：红色：身心需要力量；当做决定遇到困难时 梦想 职业 （自拟1-2句话） 注意： （1） 词数80词左右； （2） 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； （3）文中不能出现真实姓名及学校名称； _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
