In the play Shakespeare not only speaks highly of love and friendship, but also mirrors the social background of that time. Antonio had a friend named Bassanio who spent money without limitation. As a result, he ran out of his property in a short time. Bassanio fell in love with Portia, but he was required to pay a large amount of money. So he went to Antonio for help. Antonio is also a wealthy Venetian merchant but he didn’t have so much cash. Antonio went to Shylock, a moneylender, for help. Having been scolded (责备) by Antonio for being cruel and greedy, Shylock hated him, however, he agreed to lend him the money on condition that Antonio would allow him to take a pound of his flesh if he could not repay him within three months. At last Antonio agreed to the contract (契约). With the money Antonio had borrowed from Shylock, Bassanio married Portia, but unluckily, Antonio lost all his ships at sea. He was not able to pay back to Shylock, and the Jew went to court of Venice to carry out his deal. To save Antonio’s life, Portia pretended to be a famous lawyer. According to the contract, she agreed to Shylock’s request, but insisted a pound of meat must be cut by just a pound of flesh, no more and no less. At the same time, he was not allowed to let any of Antonio’s blood drop. The wise judge announced that according to the law if anyone tried to kill a citizen of Venice, everything he owned should be taken away from him. Shylock said that he would rather die if all his money and goods were taken away. Finally, Antonio gave up his part of Shylock’s money on condition that Shylock should leave the money to his own daughter and her husband upon his death. The cruel moneylender had to agree. ——Taken from The Merchant of Venice 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。（每题答案不超过8个词） 76．What does Shakespeare speak highly of in the play? 77．According to the play, why did Bassanio run out of property? 78．What does the underlined word “him” in the second paragraph refer to? 79．How did Portia save Antonio’s life? 80．Among all the characters, who impresses you most and why?

Tomorrow I’ll go to Bristol. In ten days we’ll have the best ship and crew (船员) in England. Hawkins will come as the cabin-boy. You, Livesey, will be the ship’s doctor. I can be the captain. We will have a good journey, and easily find the treasure. Then we’ll have enough money to live happily ever after.” “Of course. I’ll come with you,” said the doctor. “But we must be careful. The men who attacked the inn know about this map. They are dangerous and they also want the treasure. None of us must say a word to anyone about what we’ve found.” For safety, I stayed at the Hall. The squire was in Bristol getting a ship, and Dr Livesey was in London finishing work. I spent hours looking at the map. I learnt every detail by heart! Some weeks later the squire sent a letter: he had a ship called the Hispaniola, and a crew. He seemed very pleased with his work. I travelled to Bristol with Tom Redruth, one of the squire’s servants. We met the squire and Dr Livesey. I couldn’t believe that I was really going to sea, to search for treasure on an unknown island. Long John Silver was the ship’s cook and he knew many of the crew. The squire said he had one leg. Now, to tell you the truth, I was afraid that Long John Silver was the same one-legged sailor that the captain talked to me about in the inn. But, as soon as I saw him, I felt relieved (宽心的). Silver had an intelligent, smiling face, and was very different from the captain, Black Dog and blind Pew. “Mr Silver, sir?” I asked, holding out the note. “Oh! I see, Hawkins,” he said, looking at it, “You’re our new cabin-boy. Pleased to meet you.” Just then, a customer got up suddenly and left. I saw that he was missing two fingers. “Stop him!” I cried. “It’s Black Dog!”... —Taken from Treasure Island 76．How did the squire and Dr Livesey feel when they saw these papers? 77．Why did Hawkins spend hours looking at the map? 78．What did the squire do before they went to sea? 79．Why did Hawkins go to sea with the squire and Dr Livesey? 80．What do you think of Hawkins?

The next day he called Tom. “Well, Tom,” he said, “I’m going to make you free, so pack your things, and get ready to leave for Kentucky soon.” He was upset when he saw the sudden light of joy in Tom’s face.

You are a good master, but I’m happy because I am a free man.” “I understand, Tom. You’ll be free in about a month,” said St Clare. “Do you think that with your work you can earn the clothes and food and the life that I give you every day?” “No, I don’t, Master is too good, but I prefer to have poor clothes, a poor house, poor everything, but to know that they are mine and not Master’s.” One day, St Clare went into town alone. While St Clare was walking into town, he saw some drunks fighting, and he tried to stop them. One of the men had a knife. When St Clare tried to take it from him, the drunk killed him. St Clare’s death made things very dangerous for the slaves. While he was living, they belonged to him, and he treated them kindly.

Miss Ophelia treated Tom with respect and kindness, so Tom decided to ask her to help him. “I will speak for you, Tom, and do my best,” said Miss Ophelia, “but there isn’t much hope.” “Absolutely not,” was Marie’s answer. “I can sell Tom at the highest price and make a lot of money.

For folk artist Wang De, it is also the busiest, best time for him to show his craft (手艺) creating molten (熔化的) iron fireworks. Wang, who is a blackmith (铁匠) of the 500-year-old art of dashuhua, which means “creating tree flowers”, lives in Yuxian County in the city of Zhangjiakou, North China’s Hebei Province. To create molten iron fireworks, scrap iron (铁屑) is melted to 1,600℃ and thrown against a cold wall to blinding effect.    Wang, 58, and his assistants put on over a dozen dashuhua shows for local people and tourists as part of the Spring Festival activities each year. The folk artist hopes the tradition can bring more visitors to his hometown of Zhangjiakou, which caught international attention. Dashuhua is a traditional form of fireworks show that takes place during certain festivals. In ancient times, this was a show that only those people with wealth and high social positions could afford. There are only four people left in China who have mastered (掌握) the ancient practice, and three of them are not young, according to local media reports. Because of the risk of the show, it’s easy for dashuhua artists to get hurt when they are giving shows. And the high-risk tradition is still only kept for the brave. During a show a few years ago, Wang got serious burns on his leg and it took two months to recover (恢复). Both Wang’s father and grandfather were blacksmiths. “I learned the craft from my father. When I was young, I thought it was exciting. But years later I also felt it was my duty (责任) to pass it on to the next generation (代),” he says. 62．What does dashuhua mean? 63．During which festival do Wang and his assistants give dashuhua shows every year? 64．Who could afford dashuhua shows in ancient times? 65．Are dashuhua shows very dangerous? 66．How do you think Wang will pass his craft on to the next generation from the last paragraph? 江苏省扬州市梅岭中学教育集团2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 A few years ago, a friend gave me a restaurant gift card, and I picked a sunny Sunday afternoon to use it.

I reached into my wallet to get enough cash to cover the rest. 1 saw two bills(钞票) inside. The first would cover the rest of the check. The second would cover the check and give the waitress a nice tip. I reached down to pick the first one. At that moment, my mind flashed back to 30 years ago. I was working as a busboy (餐厅勤杂工) in a restaurant much like the one we were in. It was long hours of hard work for low pay. I remembered seeing the waitresses worrying about how they were going to pay the rent. I remembered the pain in their eyes and the sadness in their faces at the end of the day. I blinked (眨眼睛) and was back in the present again, with my fingers touching the smaller bill in my wallet. I smiled, pushed it back down and picked out the larger bill. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the hardworking waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart. We are all one family in this world. Do your best to be kind.

It was very hot and unpleasant inside the fort. I had a plan and I needed to leave the fort. First I ran down to the white rocks and looked for Ben Gunn’s boat. I soon found it under some bushes. As soon as it was dark, I got into the boat and rowed out to the Hispaniola. I found the rope that connected the ship to the anchor and cut through it with my knife until the ship was free. As I did this, I could hear the angry voices of Israel Hands and another mutineer in a cabin above me. The ship began to move away in the night air. By then I was so tired that I fell asleep in the boat when I awoke I found myself at the southwest end of Treasure Island. I moved slowly to the next bay, and suddenly I saw the Hispaniola in front of me. The wind and the currents were moving the ship. I couldn’t see anyone on it. As soon as I was close enough, I grabbed a rope and climbed onboard. I soon saw two pirates lying on the deck at the back of the ship. One was dead. The other, Israel Hands, was injured and calling for rum. I drank the water and give Hands the rum. As he drank it, the color returned to his cheeks. “I’m taking over this ship, Mr Hands,” I said. “You will treat me as your captain.” “I imagine,” said Hands, “you want to get ashore. Now you need my help. Give me some food and drink, and something to tie up my wound. Then I’ll tell you how to sail the ship. That’s fair, isn’t it?” “I want to get to North Inlet.” Hands agreed to help me. We soon arrived at the North Inlet. Hands was very good at guiding me in and I followed his instructions perfectly.

Everyone had weapons (武器) except me. There was a rope around me and I followed Silver, who held the other end of the rope. He took out his map and said. “There are three tall trees in the right place. The treasure must be there! Go ahead!” Then he turned to me, “Jim, don’t dream to escape!” Just then, a high shaking voice began to sing, “Fifteen men on the dead man’s chest...” The pirates all began trembling (颤抖). The colour went from their six faces, and they looked at each other like frightened children. “It sounds like Flint!” Someone cried. “No!” Silver managed to shout out the words, “There’s no ghost!” Then the voice came again, “Fifteen men on the dead man’s chest...” “Those were Flint's last words before he died,” cried one of the pirates. “I’m here to get the treasure,” shouted Silver, “and I was never afraid of Flint in his life and I’ll face him dead!” His words calmed the others. “Yes, that’s right,” one of them said. The high shaking voice disappeared on the sea. All the men were happy again and began to walk on. We reached the first tall tree, but it was the wrong one. So was the second. The third was not far away. The pirates hurried to get their hands on the seven hundred thousand pounds in gold which lay somewhere under the tree. Silver turned his eyes on me with a deadly look. I could read his thoughts — he hoped to take the treasure, kill every honest man on the island and sail away. “Go ahead, all together, boys!” Silver shouted and the men began to run. But no more than ten metres farther, they stopped. Before us was a large hole, not a new hole, because grass grew on the bottom. There was no treasure — the seven hundred thousand pounds had gone!

In 2022, India had more than 1. 412 billion people, which was very close to China’s population of 1. 426 billion people. India’s population is expected to grow to almost 1. 43 billion by the middle of the year, surpassing China’s. One of the main reasons for this rapid growth is that many babies are born in India every year, more than in any other country, Time magazine noted. Having a big population can be good for the economy（经济）because more people can work and earn（赚钱）money, which can lead to economic growth, the Associated Press noted. More companies from other countries and regions may come to India because of this. However, having a big population can also be challenging because there might not be enough resources（资源）like food, healthcare and education for everyone. CNN stated that it could also be hard for people to find jobs because so many people are looking for work. According to a 2021 report from the World Bank, India’s labor force participation rate（劳动力参与率）,  which is the proportion（比例） of the active labor force in the working-age population, is 46 percent-the lowest in Asia. Despite these challenges, India is still a country with many opportunities for growth. Many companies are choosing to set up factories in India to make things like mobile phones and semiconductors（半导体）. Morgan Stanley, the investment bank, said that India will have unprecedented（前所未有的）economic growth and become the world’s third-biggest economy by 2027. 81．How big will the India’s population be by the middle of this year? 82．Why is India’s population increasing quickly? 83．What is the labor force participation rate? 84．What is Morgan Stanley’s prediction about India’s future economy? 85．What do you think of the large population in India? 江苏省徐州市2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中考试英语试题 阅读短文，回答短文后的问题。每小题不超过6个单词。 Another rich man in Venice was Shylock. He became rich by lending money to others and making them pay interest. While Antonio thought it wrong to make people pay interest. He said the rich should help the poor.

The Scotia had not run into something: something had run into it, and a cutting or sharp object rather than a blunt (不锋利的) one. The blow seemed so slight that nobody on board would have worried but for the shout of the hold-workers who rushed up on to the deck (甲板) . “We’re sinking (下沉)! We’re sinking!” At first the passengers were quite afraid but Captain Anderson quickly reassured (宽慰) them. In fact, the danger could not come at once. The Scotia, divided into seven parts, was sure to resist any leak with impunity. Captain Anderson headed at once for the hold. He noticed that the fifth part had flooded; and the speed of the flooding proved that the hole was a quite big one. Very luckily, the boilers were not in this compartment, for the fires would have gone out at once. Captain Anderson had the engines stopped at once, while one of the sailors dived to assess the damage (损坏). Shortly afterwards, the existence of a two-metre hole in the hull was confirmed. Such damage could not be repaired and the Scotia, its wheels half underwater, had to continue its journey in the same state. It was 300 miles from Cape Clear, and was three days late when it sailed into the company docks, having greatly worried Liverpool. The engineers then carried out an inspection (检查) of the Scotia, which was in dry dock. They couldn’t believe their eyes. Two and a half meters below the water-line appeared a neat hole in the form of an isosceles triangle (等腰三角形). The break in the board was perfectly clean, and could not have been cut with greater precision. 76．Where did the story take place, in the ocean or on land? 77．How did the passengers feel at first? 78．Which part of the boat was flooded according to the story? 79．Who carried out the inspection of the Scotia? 80．What do you think of Captain Anderson? 江苏省扬州市邗江区第三共同体2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 A teenager with autism swims toward victory Chen Xingrong won five medals, including a gold, at the 11th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 8th National Special Olympics Games.

In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. Later oil paper umbrellas were introduced to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However, as steel-ribbed umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo and Tung oil. They need to take more than 70 steps to make, including making bamboo ribs, pesting paper and painting patterns (图案). It takes at least a week to make such an umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List of China. A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to introduce the art. 回答下面问题，每题答案不超过10个单词。 76．How many Asian countries were Chinese oil paper umbrellas introduced to? 77．Which place in China is known for making oil paper umbrellas? 78．How long does it take to make an oil paper umbrella? 79．Why did Liu Weixue learn this traditional art? 80．What do you think of Liu Weixue? 江苏省盐城市东台市第四联盟2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 China’s first female pilots for the J-11 B fighter jet(战斗机) have recently completed their first flight. “We have proved that female pilots can do the same things as men, and we can operate heavy fighter jets.” Yan Zhongyue, a 24-year-old girl, one of the five female pilots from Xi’an Flying College of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force, told Global Times proudly. The five female pilots, at an average(平均) age of 23, have had strict training and tests. During the flight, they flew and had to perform stunts to test their tactical(战术的) skills. Besides hard physical training and training of tactical skills in the air, the female pilots were taught how to team with other pilots to perform complex moves in battles. Although female pilots are weak in physical strength compared with men, they have their own advantages. They’re often more careful, patient, and better able to deal with stress. “Flying these jets is not about arm wrestling(扳手腕). What matters most is decision-making and control of the jets,” Yan said. “With stronger endurance(持久力) and tolerance(忍耐力), women would be better fitting for long-hour fighting.” 根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过6个单词。 86．How many female pilots have recently completed their flight? 87．How old is Yan Zhongyue? 88．Why did the female pilots have to perform stunts during the flight? 89．Compared with men, do female pilots have their own advantages? 90．According to Yan, what is the most important to flying fighter jets? 江苏省淮安市盱眙县2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中检测英语试题 根据短文的内容，回答问题。（每题答案不超过八个单词） The Grand Canal, also known as the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, is the longest and oldest canal in the world, stretching over 1,100 miles between Beijing and Hangzhou.

Antonio had a friend named Bassanio who spent money without limitation. As a result, he ran out of his property in a short time. Bassanio fell in love with Portia, but he was required to pay a large amount of money. So he went to Antonio for help. Antonio is also a wealthy Venetian merchant but he didn’t have so much cash. Antonio went to Shylock, a moneylender, for help. Having been scolded (责备) by Antonio for being cruel and greedy, Shylock hated him, however, he agreed to lend him the money on condition that Antonio would allow him to take a pound of his flesh if he could not repay him within three months. At last Antonio agreed to the contract (契约). With the money Antonio had borrowed from Shylock, Bassanio married Portia, but unluckily, Antonio lost all his ships at sea. He was not able to pay back to Shylock, and the Jew went to court of Venice to carry out his deal. To save Antonio’s life, Portia pretended to be a famous lawyer. According to the contract, she agreed to Shylock’s request, but insisted a pound of meat must be cut by just a pound of flesh, no more and no less.

For folk artist Wang De, it is also the busiest, best time for him to show his craft (手艺) creating molten (熔化的) iron fireworks. Wang, who is a blackmith (铁匠) of the 500-year-old art of dashuhua, which means “creating tree flowers”, lives in Yuxian County in the city of Zhangjiakou, North China’s Hebei Province. To create molten iron fireworks, scrap iron (铁屑) is melted to 1,600℃ and thrown against a cold wall to blinding effect.    Wang, 58, and his assistants put on over a dozen dashuhua shows for local people and tourists as part of the Spring Festival activities each year. The folk artist hopes the tradition can bring more visitors to his hometown of Zhangjiakou, which caught international attention. Dashuhua is a traditional form of fireworks show that takes place during certain festivals. In ancient times, this was a show that only those people with wealth and high social positions could afford. There are only four people left in China who have mastered (掌握) the ancient practice, and three of them are not young, according to local media reports. Because of the risk of the show, it’s easy for dashuhua artists to get hurt when they are giving shows. And the high-risk tradition is still only kept for the brave. During a show a few years ago, Wang got serious burns on his leg and it took two months to recover (恢复). Both Wang’s father and grandfather were blacksmiths. “I learned the craft from my father. When I was young, I thought it was exciting. But years later I also felt it was my duty (责任) to pass it on to the next generation (代),” he says. 62．What does dashuhua mean? 63．During which festival do Wang and his assistants give dashuhua shows every year? 64．Who could afford dashuhua shows in ancient times? 65．Are dashuhua shows very dangerous? 66．How do you think Wang will pass his craft on to the next generation from the last paragraph? 【答案】62．(It means) Creating tree flowers. 63．(During) The Spring Festival. 64．The people with wealth and high social positions. 65．Yes. /Yes, they are. 66．By teaching young people (his craft)./ By teaching young people how to create dashuhua./ By asking young people to learn from him. 【导语】本文主要介绍了“打树花”表演艺人王德的故事。 62．根据“Wang, who is a blackmith (铁匠) of the 500-year-old art of dashuhua, which means ‘creating tree flowers’ ”可知“dashuhua”就是创造树花的意思，故填(It means) Creating tree flowers. 63．根据“Wang, 58, and his assistants put on over a dozen dashuhua shows for local people and tourists as part of the Spring Festival activities each year.”可知春节期间他们打树花表演，故填(During) The Spring Festival. 64．根据“In ancient times, this was a show that only those people with wealth and high social positions could afford. ”可知在古代这是那些有钱、社会地位高的人才能负担得起的秀，故填The people with wealth and high social positions. 65．根据“Because of the risk of the show, it’s easy for dashuhua artists to get hurt when they are giving shows.”可知打树花很危险，此处要进行肯定回答。故填Yes. /Yes, they are. 66．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为By teaching young people (his craft)./ By teaching young people how to create dashuhua./ By asking young people to learn from him. 江苏省扬州市梅岭中学教育集团2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 A few years ago, a friend gave me a restaurant gift card, and I picked a sunny Sunday afternoon to use it.

In 2022, India had more than 1. 412 billion people, which was very close to China’s population of 1. 426 billion people. India’s population is expected to grow to almost 1. 43 billion by the middle of the year, surpassing China’s. One of the main reasons for this rapid growth is that many babies are born in India every year, more than in any other country, Time magazine noted. Having a big population can be good for the economy（经济）because more people can work and earn（赚钱）money, which can lead to economic growth, the Associated Press noted. More companies from other countries and regions may come to India because of this. However, having a big population can also be challenging because there might not be enough resources（资源）like food, healthcare and education for everyone. CNN stated that it could also be hard for people to find jobs because so many people are looking for work. According to a 2021 report from the World Bank, India’s labor force participation rate（劳动力参与率）,  which is the proportion（比例） of the active labor force in the working-age population, is 46 percent-the lowest in Asia. Despite these challenges, India is still a country with many opportunities for growth. Many companies are choosing to set up factories in India to make things like mobile phones and semiconductors（半导体）. Morgan Stanley, the investment bank, said that India will have unprecedented（前所未有的）economic growth and become the world’s third-biggest economy by 2027. 81．How big will the India’s population be by the middle of this year? 82．Why is India’s population increasing quickly? 83．What is the labor force participation rate? 84．What is Morgan Stanley’s prediction about India’s future economy? 85．What do you think of the large population in India? 【答案】81．Almost 1. 43 billion. 82．Many babies are born in India every year. 83．It is the proportion of the active labor force in the working-age population. 84．India will have unprecedented economic growth and will become the world’s third-biggest economy by 2027. 85．It is good for the economy./It may be a big problem in the future. 【导语】本文主要介绍了印度的人口增长，及其带来的好处与坏处。 81．根据第一段“India’s population is expected to grow to almost 1. 43 billion by the middle of the year, surpassing China’s.”可知，印度的人口预计将增长到近14.3亿，故填Almost 1. 43 billion. 82．根据第二段“One of the main reasons for this rapid growth is that many babies are born in India every year”可知，这种快速增长的主要原因之一是印度每年都有许多婴儿出生，故填Many babies are born in India every year. 83．根据“India’s labor force participation rate, which is the proportion of the active labor force in the working-age population”可知，劳动力参与率就是是劳动年龄人口中活跃劳动力的比例，故填It is the proportion of the active labor force in the working-age population. 84．根据“Morgan Stanley, the investment bank, said that India will have unprecedented economic growth and become the world’s third-biggest economy by 2027.”可知，印度将实现前所未有的经济增长，到2027年讲成为世界第三大经济体，故填India will have unprecedented economic growth and will become the world’s third-biggest economy by 2027. 85．根据“Having a big population can be good for the economy”和“However, having a big population can also be challenging because there might not be enough resources like food, healthcare and education for everyone.”可知，人口众多可能对经济有利，但也可能因为没有足够的资源，如食物、医疗保健和教育供每个人使用而成为未来的一个大问题，故填It is good for the economy./It may be a big problem in the future. 江苏省徐州市2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中考试英语试题 阅读短文，回答短文后的问题。每小题不超过6个单词。 Another rich man in Venice was Shylock. He became rich by lending money to others and making them pay interest. While Antonio thought it wrong to make people pay interest. He said the rich should help the poor. Shylock was very angry about this because many people went to borrow money from Antonio instead of borrowing from him. This meant that Shylock earned less money. When Bassanio visited Shylock, he asked Shylock to lend him three thousand gold coins and said he would pay it back in three months. “How do I know you can pay it back?” asked Shylock. “My friend Antonio will help me. If I do not pay you in three months, he will do it for me,” Bassanio said. Shylock turned to smile. Perhaps this would be a chance. So Shylock went to visit Antonio at once. When seeing him, Shylock couldn’t help thinking how much he hated him. However, he did not show his hatred. He tried to be friendly. “It’s three thousand gold coins for three months, isn’t it?” Antonio and Bassanio agreed. “What interest will you pay?” Shylock asked. Before long, Antonio and Shylock were arguing about interest. Antonio called Shylock some bad names. Bassanio was worried and stopped Antonio. Antonio said sorry to Shylock. “If you lend us this money,” pleased Antonio, “I will not call you bad names.” Shylock pretended to be surprised. “Come with me to the judge,” said Shylock, “so that he can write the contract. I will lend you the money for three months. You will pay no interest. Just for fun, however, let’s agree that if you do not pay me on time, you will give me one pound of your flesh from wherever I choose to take it!” Antonio agreed. He was certain that he was able to pay back the money on time. “My ships come back a whole month before we have to pay the money.” 61．Why did many people borrow money from Antonio instead of borrowing from Shylock? 62．How much money did Bassanio want to borrow from Shylock? 63．What does the underlined word “hatred” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? 64．In how many months would Antonio’s ships come back as planned? 65．What was Shylock like in Antonio’s opinion, according to the passage? 【答案】61．They needn’t pay interest to Antonio./They paid interest to Shylock. 62．3,000 gold coins./Three thousand gold coins. 63．厌恶/讨厌/憎恶 64．2/2 months/In 2 months. 65． He was greedy./Greedy./He was a bad man./A bad man. 【导语】本文主要讲述了夏洛克利用放高利贷的形式赚钱，安东尼奥认为这样做是不对的，他认为富人应该帮助穷人，所以人们最后都不找夏洛克借钱了，因此夏洛克很生气，然后他利用心机要伤害安东尼奥的事情。 61．根据文章第一段中的“Another rich man in Venice was Shylock. He became rich by lending money to others and making them pay interest. While Antonio thought it wrong to make people pay interest. He said the rich should help the poor. Shylock was very angry about this because many people went to borrow money from Antonio instead of borrowing from him.”可知，许多人从安东尼奥而不是夏洛克借钱是因为他们不需要付安东尼奥利息。故填They needn’t pay interest to Antonio./They paid interest to Shylock. 62．根据文章第二段第一句“When Bassanio visited Shylock, he asked Shylock to lend him three thousand gold coins and said he would pay it back in three months.”可知，巴萨尼奥向夏洛克借三千金币。故填3,000 gold coins./Three thousand gold coins. 63．根据前文“When seeing him, Shylock couldn’t help thinking how much he hated him.”可知，“hatred”的汉语意思是厌恶/ 讨厌/ 憎恶。故填：厌恶/讨厌/憎恶。 64．根据文章第二段中的“If I do not pay you in three months, he will do it for me”以及最后一段中的“My ships come back a whole month before we have to pay the money.”可知，安东尼奥的船要过两个个月才能按计划返回。故填2/2 months/In 2 months. 65．根据文章中的“While Antonio thought it wrong to make people pay interest. He said the rich should help the poor.”以及“Antonio called Shylock some bad names.”可知，安东尼奥觉得夏洛克是个贪婪的/坏的人。故填He was greedy./Greedy. /He was a bad man./A bad man. 江苏省扬州市树人学校2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中考试英语试题 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容回答问题，答案不超过10个词。 At seventeen minutes past four in the afternoon, while the passengers were in the main hall taking their lunch, a slight blow was felt on the Scotia (斯科舍号船), on the quarter a little behind the port wheel. The Scotia had not run into something: something had run into it, and a cutting or sharp object rather than a blunt (不锋利的) one. The blow seemed so slight that nobody on board would have worried but for the shout of the hold-workers who rushed up on to the deck (甲板) . “We’re sinking (下沉)! We’re sinking!” At first the passengers were quite afraid but Captain Anderson quickly reassured (宽慰) them. In fact, the danger could not come at once. The Scotia, divided into seven parts, was sure to resist any leak with impunity. Captain Anderson headed at once for the hold. He noticed that the fifth part had flooded; and the speed of the flooding proved that the hole was a quite big one. Very luckily, the boilers were not in this compartment, for the fires would have gone out at once. Captain Anderson had the engines stopped at once, while one of the sailors dived to assess the damage (损坏). Shortly afterwards, the existence of a two-metre hole in the hull was confirmed. Such damage could not be repaired and the Scotia, its wheels half underwater, had to continue its journey in the same state. It was 300 miles from Cape Clear, and was three days late when it sailed into the company docks, having greatly worried Liverpool. The engineers then carried out an inspection (检查) of the Scotia, which was in dry dock. They couldn’t believe their eyes. Two and a half meters below the water-line appeared a neat hole in the form of an isosceles triangle (等腰三角形). The break in the board was perfectly clean, and could not have been cut with greater precision. 76．Where did the story take place, in the ocean or on land? 77．How did the passengers feel at first? 78．Which part of the boat was flooded according to the story? 79．Who carried out the inspection of the Scotia? 80．What do you think of Captain Anderson? 【答案】76．In the ocean. 77．They felt quite afraid at first. 78．The fifth part. 79．The engineers. 80．He is brave enough to face danger. 【导语】本文是名著《海底两万里》节选，讲述了斯科舍号船在海上遇险的故事。 76．根据“a slight blow was felt on the Scotia (斯科舍号船), on the quarter a little behind the port wheel.”可知，斯科舍号船在港口方向盘后面的四分之一处受到轻微撞击，因此这个故事发生在海洋。故填In the ocean. 77．根据“At first the passengers were quite afraid”可知，起初，乘客们很害怕。故填They felt quite afraid at first. 78．根据“He noticed that the fifth part had flooded;”可知，是船的第五部分被淹了。故填The fifth part. 79．根据“The engineers then carried out an inspection (检查) of the Scotia, which was in dry dock.”可知，工程师们对斯科舍号进行了检查。故填The engineers. 80．开放性作答，言之有理即可。根据全文可知，在斯科舍号船受到撞击后安德森船长很快让乘客们放心且立即停止了发动机并查找原因，因此安德森船长有足够的勇气面对危险。故填He is brave enough to face danger. 江苏省扬州市邗江区第三共同体2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 A teenager with autism swims toward victory Chen Xingrong won five medals, including a gold, at the 11th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 8th National Special Olympics Games.

It has a history of over 1,000 years in China. In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. Later oil paper umbrellas were introduced to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However, as steel-ribbed umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo and Tung oil. They need to take more than 70 steps to make, including making bamboo ribs, pesting paper and painting patterns (图案). It takes at least a week to make such an umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List of China. A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students.
