And every student knows where he or she stands in relation to other students. Like it or not, there is 2 in the classroom. Teachers and schools are always focused（聚焦） on getting the best out of each student. They provide lessons, homework and extra help 3 all students can pass exams and get the education they need. But not all can be top students. Some students are just smarter than others, and some students just work harder than others. So, does ranking 4 matter? A school in Inner Mongolia (内蒙古) thinks it does. They used to give bright red uniforms to the top 100 students in their school. And another school in Xi’an made students with poor grades wear green scarves. Those schools were trying to motivate（激励） students to 5 better by using rewards and punishment. But this kind of motivation can be harmful. In fact, students can also find motivation within themselves.

Her father rushes over and looks closely at the leg. “I’ll kiss it and make it better,” he says. The kiss works. The girl sniffles (抽噎), then jumps up and gets back to playing. Her pain is 7 . Things like this one happen on playgrounds and in homes around the world every day. When a child gets a bump or bruise (淤伤), says better Ulrike Bingel, “Someone will blow the pain away.” Bingel is a doctor at a Germany university. A caring adult seems to have the ability to stop a child’s pain with a puff of air, a kiss or even just a few kind words. 8 , none of these things can repair injured skin. So what’s happening? Doctors call it the placebo effect. It describes what happens when something that should have no effect leads to a(n) 9 positive change in someone’s body. Placebos are a very 10 part of medical research. To prove that a new medicine works, researchers must show that the people who are taking a new drug will be in much better health than those who are taking a placebo. This placebo is usually a pill and it 11 the same as the new medicine but contains no medicine. At times a person may feel better after taking a placebo pill though the pill did not act on any disease. This placebo response isn’t an illusion (幻觉). It comes from the brain. A placebo effect can only influence body processes that the brain can change like a pain. “Placebos can’t fight cancer,” Bingel says. But they can change how 12 someone experiences pain or other illness.” Bingel and his team are working to better understand what brain processes make this happen. 7．A．delivered B．forgotten C．forgiven D．increased 8．A．For example B．Now and then C．Of course D．In the end 9．A．correct B．strange C．real D．easy 10．A．attractive B．important C．natural D．different 11．A．looks B．becomes C．keeps D．thinks 12．A．commonly B．hardly C．slightly D．strongly 【第三套】 （23-24九年级上·上海浦东新·期中）选择最恰当的单词或词组完成短文。 Each of us needs a life coach to help us reach all kinds of personal and professional goals.

(选择最恰当的单词或短语完成短文) I was eleven years old standing outside in just my underwear while I watched the house that I grew up in rapidly burn to the ground. A few minutes 37 I had been sound asleep in my nice, warm bed when a scream woke me up. My Nana’s bedroom was just next to mine and my brother’s. A fire had 38 there and woke her up. Hearing her, my elder brother began to take action. While I stumbled (跌跌撞撞) in the smoke and darkness, he ran from room to room quickly waking everyone up in the house. The house, 39 , was over 50 years old and made of wood. Before we could do anything the fire took it down. I stood there shaking while the fire destroyed my books, clothes and toys. I watched 40 while my Mom cried and my Dad swore. I wondered what was going to happen to us now that we had lost all of our things. As I looked around, though, I realized 41 for the first time: The things that matter are not things but our life. Everything that was important had 42 the fire. Our lives would continue. And that was all that mattered. I still think of that fire in the night that helped me to become who I am today. It showed me for the very first time what is truly important in life.

Because goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen. Successful people 43 how their life should be and set lots of goals. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind (her goal) which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any 44 time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drivers aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas. Which driver do you want to be? Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. 45 people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set — and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must 46 what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life. Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be 47 regularly, and have more power. Like a contract (合同) with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also, when you write your goals in a particular way you are able to make yourself continuously 48 situations that will bring you nearer to your goal. 43．A．imagine B．discuss C．experience D．show 44．A．free B．dull C．fixed D．wasted 45．A．Lucky B．Young C．Ordinary D．Unsuccessful 46．A．practice B．change C．admit D．decide 47．A．improved B．reviewed C．set D．reached 48．A．aware of B．worried about C．familiar with D．used to 【第九套】 （23-24九年级上·上海浦东新·期中）Choose the best answer and complete the passage.

I knew that she had no money, but if I offered (提供) to 57 the lunch, I was afraid I would hurt her. There were many people in the restaurant and all of them were happy. Rose told me to sit and drink coffee by the window. Then she went to 58 in the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, she came out and sat with me. She just paid for one meal and we started to 59 the delicious food together. She told me that the restaurant let people work for a meal if they had no money, or would give them a free meal if they were not able to work. To my surprise, she also explained that the workers who were working there were all volunteers. I 60 remember the beautiful afternoon I shared with Rose. Though we had a meal together only once, it was paid by Rose’s work. The weather was warm and bright, and everyone’s smile was warm and bright too. I’m still thinking that life cannot be easy to us, but we can still do something for our friends and neighbors. The world will be nicer if everybody would like to share happiness with others.

The Letter That Changed a Life A letter changed Levi Strauss’s life. In 1849 gold was discovered in California. Thousands of people rushed to California in 61 of finding gold and becoming wealthy. The people hoping to find gold were foolish and greedy. One of those who headed for California was Levi Strauss. Strauss was different. Strauss was a clever, hard-working man. He was 62 a new start in life. Up to this time, Strauss had worked for his two brothers in New York City. The brothers sold clothes and blankets and other goods. Strauss planned to set up a 63 business to his brothers’ in California. Over the years, Strauss’s business grew. In 1872 he got a letter from one of his customers, a tailor (裁缝) in Nevada. The tailor, Jacob Davis, had an idea for making better work pants. The pockets on work pants often tore. Jacob Davis 64 metal rivets (铆钉) to the pockets. Rivets are pieces of metal used to join things together. The rivets worked well, and the miners liked them. Davis didn’t have enough money to get a patent for his invention. He also needed help making the pants. In his 65 , Davis said that if they worked together, the two of them ‘‘could make a very large amount of money’’.

They decided to use denim cloth because it is a strong cloth that doesn’t tear easily and is long lasting. 66 , the riveted denims were called ‘‘dungarees’’. Dungarees is a word from the Hindi language of India that means “rough cloth”. Because they were tough and durable, dungarees were worn by thousands of farmers, miners, builders, and other workers. Later, dungarees came to be called “jeans”. “Jeans” is a better name for the pants than “dungarees”. 61．A．favour B．hopes C．honour D．charge 62．A．looking at B．looking up C．looking for D．looking after 63．A．different B．general C．familiar D．similar 64．A．added B．preferred C．changed D．returned 65．A．diary B．letter C．book D．invitation 66．A．In addition B．Instead C．At first D．However 【第十二套】 （23-24九年级上·上海黄浦·期中） From the innovative opening ceremony to the athletes’ history-making achievements, the Hangzhou Asian Games drew to a close on Sunday.

Also, we are quickly running out of new land to use for farming and raising animals. The number of fish in our oceans is also decreasing, because of pollution and overfishing. On the other hand, there are plenty of insects available; this is why a United Nations（UN）report 75 using insects as food. Insects are not only more than enough but also good for your health. They contain lots of protein and important nutrients. Locusts, for example, actually contain more iron than beef does. Moreover, raising insects for food is better for the environment than raising other animals, because they 76 less land, food and water. Also, farm animals like cows and pigs give our harmful greenhouse gases into the air after they eat. Insects release greenhouse gases too, but not as much as other animals. 77 they can breakdown the waste and dead bodies of other animals, returning their nutrients to the soil. Insects are already being eaten by many people across the world. Even if it seems 78 , we should keep an open mind.

Doctors call it the placebo effect. It describes what happens when something that should have no effect leads to a(n) 9 positive change in someone’s body. Placebos are a very 10 part of medical research. To prove that a new medicine works, researchers must show that the people who are taking a new drug will be in much better health than those who are taking a placebo. This placebo is usually a pill and it 11 the same as the new medicine but contains no medicine. At times a person may feel better after taking a placebo pill though the pill did not act on any disease. This placebo response isn’t an illusion (幻觉). It comes from the brain. A placebo effect can only influence body processes that the brain can change like a pain. “Placebos can’t fight cancer,” Bingel says. But they can change how 12 someone experiences pain or other illness.” Bingel and his team are working to better understand what brain processes make this happen. 7．A．delivered B．forgotten C．forgiven D．increased 8．A．For example B．Now and then C．Of course D．In the end 9．A．correct B．strange C．real D．easy 10．A．attractive B．important C．natural D．different 11．A．looks B．becomes C．keeps D．thinks 12．A．commonly B．hardly C．slightly D．strongly 【答案】7．B 8．C 9．C 10．B 11．A 12．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了安慰剂对人们疾病或疼痛感知的减轻具有重要作用。 7．句意：她的疼痛被遗忘了。 delivered递送；forgotten忘记；forgiven原谅；increased增加。由“The kiss works.
