He had to work hard to do things that were easy for others. Every time his classmates tried to help, he would say, “Thanks, but I can do it myself.” He learned to use the four fingers to do different things. When Darrius was 10, he told his father that he liked piano music very much. “It’s too bad that you can’t play,” his father said. But the boy took that as a challenge (挑战), “I will show people that I can,” he said to himself. Months later, a neighbour gave him an old piano when she moved away. He taught himself to play the piano and practised for hours a day. Darrius’s favourite piano music is River Flows in You by Yiruma, a Korean musician. It took Darrius a year to learn it. “I have to come up with my own way with only 4 fingers,” he said. When he succeeded, he felt so proud. Later he was lucky enough to play the music together with Yiruma at a famous concert hall! Yiruma encouraged Darrius to follow his dream of playing his own music. Darrius has made it. And his music is popular today. “I may have a disability,” he says, “but I don’t let it hold me back from anything.” 38. What did Darrius take as a challenge at the age of 10? A. Writing his music. B. Playing the piano. C. Giving a concert. D. Visiting a hall. 39. How long did it take Darrius to learn to play River Flows in You? A. A year. B. A month. C. A day. D. An hour. 40. Who encouraged Darrius to follow his dream? A. His classmate. B. His father. C. A neighbour. D. A musician. 41. What does the underlined word “disability” mean in Chinese? A. 骨骼 B. 体魄 C. 残疾 D. 身材 42. What can we learn about Darrius from the text? A. He has a strong will. B. He bought himself a piano. C. He gave up his dream. D. He only plays others’ music. 【答案】38. B 39. A 40. D 41. C 42. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了天生只有四根手指的Darrius实现了弹钢琴的梦想的故事。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When Darrius was 10, he told his father that he liked piano music very much. ‘It’s too bad that you can’t play,’ his father said. But the boy took that as a challenge (挑战)”可知，Darrius十岁时把弹钢琴视为一项挑战。故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Darrius’s favourite piano music is River Flows in You by Yiruma, a Korean musician. It took Darrius a year to learn it.”可知，Darrius花了一年的时间学会弹奏《你的心河》。故选A。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Darrius’s favourite piano music is River Flows in You by Yiruma, a Korean musician...Yiruma encouraged Darrius to follow his dream of playing his own music.”可知，音乐家Yiruma鼓励Darrius去追寻他的梦想。故选D。 【41题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段“‘I may have a disability,’ he says, ‘but I don’t let it hold me back from anything.’”可知，disability是Darrius拥有的一种东西，他不会让这种东西阻碍他做任何事；结合第一段“Darrius was born with three fingers on his right hand and one on his left hand.”可知，Darrius生来只有四根手指，这是一种残疾。由此猜测，disability意为“残疾”。故选C。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，虽然Darrius天生只有四根手指，但是在困难面前他从不退缩，不仅自学钢琴，而且最终获得了成功。由此推知，他有坚强的意志。故选A。 C For those online shopping lovers, Nov. 11 is the best time of the year, because it is China’s Singles’ Day (光棍节), we will see many as big as 50% discounts (打折)—even bigger than that.

And they have finally done it. The “octobot” is the world’s first soft robot. It is not like the scary, metal robots in movies like Star Wars. Instead, it is made of soft material, and looks just like an octopus (章鱼). Octobot is also the first soft robot that controls itself without batteries (电池) or wires, according to its researchers at Harvard University in the US. The hope is that one day, soft robots like this will help humans do difficult medical surgery (外科手术) and save lives in earthquakes and storms. Scientists have been trying for years to make soft robots that are safe around humans, but this is the first time it has happened. It means that humans won’t be in danger of being hurt if the robot accidentally touches you too hard. The octobot gets power from a chemical reaction (化学反应). It pushes gas through the robot’s body and makes its legs dance. “Humans ourselves, we’re very soft and soft robots are made of materials that are safe for us,” said one of the octobot researchers. “Soft robots and soft material technologies are needed if we expect them to help us in the home or in natural environments.” They may not all look like an octopus in the future, though. Scientists have studied jellyfish (水母) and even cockroaches (蟑螂) in their research so far. 48. What does the underline word “them” refer to? A. Scientists. B. Soft robots and soft material technologies. C. Metal robot. D. Octopus. 49. According to the passage, the octobot _________.

B. Different robots in movies. C. Octobot, a soft robot. D. Animal-shaped robots. 【答案】48. B 49. D 50. B 51. B 52. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了世界上第一个软体机器人——“octobot”。 【48题详解】 词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Soft robots and soft material technologies are needed if we expect them to help us in the home or in natural environments.”可知，软体机器人和软材料技术是被需要的，如果我们希望它们在家里或自然环境中帮助我们的话。由此推知，them指上文提到的Soft robots and soft material technologies“软体机器人和软材料技术”。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“The octobot gets power from a chemical reaction (化学反应).”可知，“octobot”通过化学反应获得能量，因此它是通过化学反应进行工作的。故选D。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“soft robots are made of materials that are safe for us”可知，研究人员认为“octobot”的材质对于人类来讲非常安全。故选B。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists have been trying to make soft and friendly robots for years.

That would be more true today. ____53____ Technology is out of date almost by the time you buy it. We get plenty of information every day. Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” In fact, there is more information in a newspaper than he would have experienced in his whole life. Why are we afraid of change? ____54____ After all, who knows what new dangers might appear? However, change is also the only way of development. Nobody can stop it in life. Luckily, our brains become stronger when meeting the unknown. ____55____ To be more imaginative and creative, you should look for and find environments you have no experience with. ____56____ For example, try a new restaurant, or go to a play or a concert you normally wouldn’t attend. Small changes can help you gradually get used to uncertainty (不确定). So when bigger things happen, you’ll be more fully prepared for them. People who fear change often stick to a certain lifestyle. They believe they can control the future by doing so. ____57____ If you can move from just accepting it to actively finding it out and dealing with it, you will be successful. A. People are thirsty for knowledge. B. That’s because our brains want to protect us. C. But change comes whether you ask for it or not. D. We live in a world that is changing every minute. E. You can learn how to face the changes in daily life. F. Dealing with the unexpected needs imagination and creativity. G. What should we do when change happens? 【答案】53. D 54. B 55. F 56. E 57.

I was not good at math in the beginning. Months ago, my teacher asked me to help my classmate Mike with his math because he wanted to give it up after he failed some exams. Before helping him I felt a little nervous, so I went over the textbook again and again, and did lots of exercises. To my surprise, I could even work out some difficult problems that I couldn’t understand before. Every day I helped Mike go over what he had learned, and I also helped him with his homework. During the weekends we did exercises together. With my help, Mike made great progress in math. Later he even enjoyed learning it. From this experience, not only did I help him out of his trouble, but also I improved my own math. I have realized that it’s really good to help others. Helping others is helping ourselves. 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材：本文是一篇材料作文； ②时态：主要是一般过去时； ③提示：写作提示已给出，考生应注意不要漏写帮助他人后，你有什么感觉，适当发挥，使上下文连贯。 [写作步骤] 第一步，说明帮助了谁； 第二步，具体阐述你在何时何地帮助了他，为什么帮助他以及如何帮助他； 第三步，谈谈帮助他人后，你有什么感觉。 [亮点词汇] ①help sb. with sth.在某方面帮助某人 ②nervous紧张的 ③go over复习 ④work out解决，算出 ⑤make great progress取得巨大的进步 [高分句型] ①Months ago, my teacher asked me to help my classmate Mike with his math because he wanted to give it up after he failed some exams.（because引导的原因状语从句，after引导的时间状语从句） ②I have realized that it’s really good to help others.（that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023-2024学年第一学期期中质量检测 九年级 英语试卷 一、听力理解（本大题共20小题，每小题1分，共20分） A)请听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。听完每段对话后，你都将有10秒钟的时间回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。（每小题1分） 1.

Octobot is also the first soft robot that controls itself without batteries (电池) or wires, according to its researchers at Harvard University in the US.

Scientists have been trying for years to make soft robots that are safe around humans, but this is the first time it has happened. It means that humans won’t be in danger of being hurt if the robot accidentally touches you too hard. The octobot gets power from a chemical reaction (化学反应).
