Once mom took me shopping in Zonykins, a famous clothes store. I 25 a pair of pants, but they were too expensive. “What about these, Emily?” Mom pointed to a pair with a big yellow tag that said Slightly Damaged. “We could easily mend this little hole in the knee. And they’re half the 26 .” To my joy, I discovered the pants fit perfectly. We took them home with great excitement. After we did some mending, nobody could 27 the hole had ever been there. But that is where the happy part of this story ends and the opposite of it begins. That day, I was standing in the lunch line when a girl who hardly knew me said loudly, ''Look! Zonykins is slightly damaged.” I didn’t know what she was talking about. I just knew it wasn’t anything nice. “What’s your problem?” I asked. “I’m not the one with the problem!” She 28 , pointing at my pants. “You’re the one who’s ‘slightly damaged!’” I looked down and saw the yellow tag, hanging there and showing up at the worst time! Trying to hold back my anger, I managed to take three deep breaths, and remembered the tips about dealing with teasing: • Turn a deaf ear or just walk away. • 29 acting too upset. • Find a friend to be near. I made up my mind about what to do. As soon as I’d gotten my food, I 30 went over to where my friend Mareya was sitting and joined her, acting as if it was no big deal. The next day, I continued to pay no attention to the 31 words in the lunchroom, and by the end of the week, all the trouble had gone away. I know what I did is right. I broke free from the teasers’ 32 by not acting upset, and they stopped finding it fun to tease me. So just remember to keep your head up high when being teased! 25．A．kept B．wore C．picked D．bought 26．A．size B．work C．time D．price 27．A．tell B．decide C．explain D．remember 28．A．refused B．laughed C．ordered D．repeated 29．A．Try B．Allow C．Avoid D．Imagine 30．A．calmly B．helplessly C．excitedly D．nervously 31．A．weak B．mean C．simple D．surprising 32．A．guidance B．protection C．promise D．influence 北京市东城区二中教育集团2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中 二、完形填空 As the teacher called my name, I knew what lay ahead. She looked at me directly and made me to the whiteboard to perform a division (除法) problem. Division was my weakest subject. I repeatedly put the numbers in the 13 places, or forgot to add in the zeros. I worriedly 14 myself out of my seat. With every slow step I took, I grew more nervous. My stomach ached, and my whole body shook with 15 . The teacher read the problem aloud. Unsure of myself, I looked at the girl beside me, and tried to 16 what she was writing, but she went faster than I could understand, writing down what seemed to be foreign symbols. My eyes fixed on the chicken scratch I had tried. Impossible to understand. Why me? Why couldn’t I work out the problem that seemed easy to all other kids? These questions filled my head. As the other girl finished and danced back to her seat, I wrote some random(胡乱的) numbers on the board, and 17 back to mine. The teacher read over our work. “Now, class, Susie did this problem absolutely correctly.” “As for Tara,” the teacher said jokingly, “I don’t even know what she did.” The class burst into laughs, and I felt my face turn red as I tried to sink as low as possible into my seat, hoping to prevent them from 18 me at all. But this memory is one I remember, surprisingly, in a positive way. It made me 19 , and gave me persistence. When I get a poor grade in school, or am put down by somebody, I think of that moment and every single one of those 20 that I asked myself. The terrible ache in my stomach comes back and gives me the motivation to answer all of those whys and try hard until perfection, or as close as I can get. 13．A．proper B．incorrect C．special D．unimportant 14．A．lifted B．dropped C．repaired D．knocked 15．A．tiredness B．excitement C．shyness D．fear 16．A．accept B．explain C．copy D．describe 17．A．rushed B．looked C．talked D．thought 18．A．changing B．inviting C．seeing D．teaching 19．A．healthier B．stronger C．cleverer D．happier 20．A．ways B．words C．hows D．whys 北京市回民学校2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 二、完形填空 My Understanding of Money I used to walk around the store with my parents constantly begging for something. I remember the sight of all the colorful bags of chips and candy that I asked my parents to buy for me. I cannot remember a time when I didn't beg for something at the store. When I was about twelve years old, my dad always 13 my begging and told me with a frustrated(使人挫败的)face, "You can waste all the money as you want when you have a job." I listened, but I never really heard the    14 he was trying to get across to me. Since I wanted so many things and my parents were not going to buy them for me, I decided to make money as a   15 myself. I remember the feeling of getting new money in my pocket, then throwing it out within the next week. A few years later, I was a freshman in high school and did not feel like looking for a new job. One day, I saw people handing out flyers（传单）at school. I wasn't 16 at first because I thought I was fine making money by babysitting. But once I 17 thought about the money I could make, I applied to work as a lifeguard advertised on the flyer. After a few months' training, I could finally start the job. But the more money I made, the less I wanted to spend. As the work and pay increased, so did my responsibility with money. Instead of    18 my money on useless things, I started saving up. I finally realized that money meant so much more to me because I was the one 19 for it. Now, I have 5,000 dollars in my bank account, and I limit myself to what I buy. My life has permanently(持久地)been influenced because I know the   20 of money. It is more than what I can spend. 13．A．met B．changed C．forgot D．refused 14．A．reply B．story C．message D．news 15．A．babysitter B．advertiser C．safeguard D．salesgirl 16．A．involved B．interested C．accepted D．pleased 17．A．proudly B．slowly C．seriously D．secretly 18．A．cutting B．raising C．receiving D．wasting 19．A．working B．saving C．longing D．begging 20．A．limit B．value C．power D．supply 北京市汇文中学教育集团2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中考试英语试题 二、完形填空 阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 A Good-luck Dumpling When I was in my middle age, something terrible happened to me.

Whoever eats it will be blessed (有福的).” While making the good-luck dumpling, my mother secretly made a(n) 15 on it. She pretended nothing had happened, but the trick didn’t escape my eyes. After Mother boiled the dumplings all by herself, she put the good-luck dumpling on top of the others in a bowl on purpose and pushed the bowl to me. Feeling loved, I looked at her in 16 eyes. I had thought it would give her a lovely surprise if she ate the good-luck dumpling. So, when she went to the kitchen, I put the dumpling into her bowl. Obviously, when Mother returned, she didn’t 17 it and went on eating with her eyes on me all the time. “Ouch!” suddenly she cried out. The coin had hurt her teeth. “Oh, Granny is blessed”, my wife 18 . “I...how come?” Mother was 19 . Just at that moment, the coin fell out of her mouth.

He was good at other subjects, and he couldn’t 13 seeing a big “C” on his test paper. After the break, the spelling teacher Ms. Kaur came in and said that the Spelling Bee Contest was going to be held. Some students were excited because they were good at spellings, but others wore 14 expressions. So did Jake. He certainly was not taking part in it. He was still worrying about his test. Jake wanted to score well in spelling tests too, but he couldn’t focus on spellings. He sat there thinking about what to do. Finally, he got a good idea. It seemed the best thing to do was to 15 something in spellings. He knew it took courage to take part in something he was bad at, but it was a window of opportunity. The next day, when he told Ms. Kaur about his decision, she was surprised. “I am proud of you, Jake. You set a/an 16 for those who are bad at some subjects, but never work for them.” From that day on, Jake started working for the contest. He was buried in the spelling books, feeling sleepy now and then. He felt sure he would sleep with the boring spellings. But he went on working. Soon the day for the first 17 of the contest came. It was his turn. He walked onto the stage. He was nervous. Ms. Kaur nodded her head encouragingly. She asked him the word. Jake wanted to 18 right there. He knew the word! “E-N-O-R-M-I-T-Y,” he answered. Unexpectedly, Jake entered the next round and worked even harder. In the final Jake felt his heart 19 loudly. But when he heard his word, he was no more nervous. “C-O-U-N-C-I-L,” he answered correctly. He made it for the subject in which he got bad grades! Opportunities come and go. The secret of success is to be 20 when an opportunity comes. When it comes, you must take it and go on, and never give up. 13．A．help B．mind C．stand D．remember 14．A．bored B．excited C．pleased D．confused 15．A．avoid B．achieve C．admire D．accept 16．A．goal B．instruction C．plan D．example 17．A．time B．word C．round D．scene 18．A．hide B．run C．sit D．dance 19．A．singing B．beating C．hitting D．aching 20．A．ready B．happy C．patient D．curious 北京市陈经纶中学2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 二、完形填空 阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 Gus White was driving home from work when he noticed a pair of dogs in the flash of his headlights.

A few days later my dad told me that hospital tests didn’t turn out well. My sister had 13 problems. We made several trips to a well-known hearing center, but the 14 didn’t work, so my family began learning sign language. I should correct myself when I say “my family”, because I didn’t want to sit down every night and learn sign after sign. I did my own things. My parents spent hours with my sister 15 her and themselves by playing sign language games. Years passed. The summer before ninth grade, as my parents had to work, it was up to me to take care of my sister. This meant getting her to summer school in the morning, cooking for her and playing with her. One day my mother asked me to sign something, and I failed. My mom was almost in tears（眼泪）. She was so 16 that I didn’t care enough about my sister. This 17 me, realizing how selfish（自私的）I had been. I needed to talk to her. But I couldn’t even sign 18 phrases like: “Where are you going?” “What time will you be home?” “What do you want to eat?” and other questions I wanted to ask but didn’t know how. My family and I started attending sign language classes at my sister’s school. We sat down as a family watching sign language movies and playing sign language games. Today I can 19 very well with my sister. It brings a smile to my face when my sister signs something to me about one of my friends, and they can’t understand. I realized it was no fun not knowing what my family was saying. So if you have a family member with special needs, don’t put him or her aside. This person should be the first thing on your mind. With me, signing now comes before school, friends and sports, because it is the 20 of my family. 13．A．hearing B．speaking C．reading D．writing 14．A．suggestions B．treatments C．conversations D．explanations 15．A．encouraging B．controlling C．teaching D．correcting 16．A．nervous B．happy C．calm D．sad 17．A．worried B．moved C．warmed D．hit 18．A．meaningful B．useful C．simple D．short 19．A．play B．communicate C．study D．practice 20．A．language B．prize C．treasure D．symbol 2023北京大兴初三（上）期中 二、完形填空(每小题1分,共8分) 阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选择最佳选项。 In the sixth grade, I joined the band program to learn to play the clarinet.

Even though she looked forward to the new term, she would miss spending her summer vacation 13 . It was so satisfying to see how her drawings could bring life to her storytelling! Unfortunately, Jenna’s parents didn’t understand how much she wanted to be a comic illustrator（插画家）. When she talked about her dream job with her parents, she expected them to 14 her choice of becoming a comic illustrator. Instead, they explained that drawing comics was a hobby, not a career （职业）. Jenna couldn’t stop thinking about that unpleasant conversation, so she turned to her elder brother, James. She wanted her brother to help her make their parents 15 that drawing comics is an art form and that it can even be a great career. But as she spoke, the look on her brother’s face told her that he agreed with their parents. Jenna politely listened to her brother and then she walked back to her room 16 . At school a few weeks later, Miss Bridwell noticed that Jenna wasn’t herself. Jenna told Miss Bridwell that she was 17 because her parents didn’t support （支持）her in becoming a comic illustrator. Pointing to the bookshelf in the front of the room, Miss Bridwell began, “When I was probably about your age, my dad once said writing was not a career. I was just straight forward with my dad. I simply told him the truth. I explained that I enjoyed writing, and that I wanted to get better and to write. I guess my 18 came through, and he believed me. ” Miss Bridwell’s story 19 Jenna a lot, so she decided to discuss her ideas with her parents again.

Lily and Toby followed their two other teammates, David and Marcus, into the big hall. They laid out all their equipment on the table because the rules said the robot could not be assembled (组装) before the competition. They needed to build and program a robot that could make its way around an obstacle (障碍) course. It was said that judges often gave a surprise 13 change that would require the students to change their robotic design at the last minute. “Teams, it is now time for the new rule,” the host announced. “Some rocks will be placed on the course. You will have to make your robot remove them from the course.” “We can build an arm to pick up the rocks and 14 them on the side,” said David right away. “But that would take too much time,” Marcus replied. The team stood in 15 , each trying to think up new ideas. Toby thought hard about the design they had already planned out. Then he realized something special about their design — the secret box. “How about we create a door in the front of the 16 space in the center of the robot? We can add a sensor (传感器) to the door. So when our robot goes along and comes across those rocks, it will open the door and pick them up,” he explained. The team thought about it. “Actually, that might work. The fact that the robot is 17 these things rather than just moving them might give us extra points,” Lily said. The four set to work, 18 but quickly assembling their pre-designed robot, then adding the door with the extra parts they had brought. It was hard, and time was running out. As the buzzer (计时器) rang, Toby placed the last part on the robot. It was time for Toby’s team to compete. They set their robot on the course and watched it make its way and meet the first rock. It stopped for a second, and the members of the team 19 their breath. Then the machine opened its door and slid (滑行) across the small rock. When it passed over the rock, the rock disappeared — 20 in the robot’s secret box. The team cheered, knowing they were one step closer to the championship. 13．A．speed B．team C．time D．rule 14．A．design B．change C．place D．break 15．A．silence B．disbelief C．anger D．loneliness 16．A．empty B．natural C．bright D．common 17．A．pushing B．jumping C．collecting D．searching 18．A．directly B．carefully C．bravely D．freely 19．A．stole B．saved C．got D．held 20．A．separated B．hidden C．dropped D．cleaned 北京市第二中学2022-2023学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 Jake was sitting all alone in the classroom during the break, thinking about the “C” he had received in his spelling test. “I knew I was getting it when I was taking the test, but I just can’t help feeling unlucky to be bad at spellings,”thought Jake. He was good at other subjects, and he couldn’t 13 seeing a big “C” on his test paper. After the break, the spelling teacher Ms. Kaur came in and said that the Spelling Bee Contest was going to be held. Some students were excited because they were good at spellings, but others wore 14 expressions. So did Jake. He certainly was not taking part in it. He was still worrying about his test. Jake wanted to score well in spelling tests too, but he couldn’t focus on spellings. He sat there thinking about what to do. Finally, he got a good idea. It seemed the best thing to do was to 15 something in spellings. He knew it took courage to take part in something he was bad at, but it was a window of opportunity. The next day, when he told Ms. Kaur about his decision, she was surprised. “I am proud of you, Jake. You set a/an 16 for those who are bad at some subjects, but never work for them.” From that day on, Jake started working for the contest. He was buried in the spelling books, feeling sleepy now and then. He felt sure he would sleep with the boring spellings. But he went on working. Soon the day for the first 17 of the contest came. It was his turn. He walked onto the stage. He was nervous. Ms. Kaur nodded her head encouragingly. She asked him the word. Jake wanted to 18 right there. He knew the word! “E-N-O-R-M-I-T-Y,” he answered. Unexpectedly, Jake entered the next round and worked even harder. In the final Jake felt his heart 19 loudly. But when he heard his word, he was no more nervous. “C-O-U-N-C-I-L,” he answered correctly. He made it for the subject in which he got bad grades! Opportunities come and go. The secret of success is to be 20 when an opportunity comes. When it comes, you must take it and go on, and never give up. 13．A．help B．mind C．stand D．remember 14．A．bored B．excited C．pleased D．confused 15．A．avoid B．achieve C．admire D．accept 16．A．goal B．instruction C．plan D．example 17．A．time B．word C．round D．scene 18．A．hide B．run C．sit D．dance 19．A．singing B．beating C．hitting D．Aching 20．A．ready B．happy C．patient D．curious 北京市第九中学2022-2023学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 二、完形填空 I was cooking the other day when a report broke announcing(宣布) NASA(美国国家航空航天局) was thinking about going back to manned space missions(载人航天任务). Upon hearing this, I shouted like the 13-year-olds. Why was this news so important to me? It’s simple: I still want to be an astronaut although I have 13 . I remember one morning when I was about thirteen: I was sitting with my family when I came across one little article about NASA on the paper. It said that they were 14 about the idea of carrying on a manned mission to Mars in 2018. “Hey mom, would you let me go to Mars?” I asked, as if I were asking to sleep over a friend’s house that night. “Yeah, sure.” my mother replied not even looking up from the paper. I was completely serious, though, and I didn’t think she realized she had just given me 15 to go to space. There was just one problem for me and my astronaut 16 : I was really bad at maths. And I cried sadly, knowing no one would let me be an astronaut if I couldn’t solve for X or Y. I remembered trying to find my maths teacher and 17 my astronaut plan. He told me I needed to consider other choices, but I didn’t have anything else: my plan was to become an astronaut, and then come back to Earth and write a best-selling book about my travels. My book would be adapted into a movie, and I’d play myself I thought of this as the three A’s: astronaut, author and actress. I never accepted that my dream was 18 . I’ve spent countless hours standing outside, staring up at the stars and wondering what’s out there. That’s why I got so excited when NASA announced they were 19 back into space.

My baseball glove was always close by: either under my desk or my chair at school. My biggest dream was to play big-league baseball like my favorite star, Billy Hawkins. My favorite 13 of the school day was the time when I could take out my glove and play catch. My teacher, Ms. Welles, told me to leave my glove at home, but I was lost without my glove. During break, I stood around with sad eyes and drooping shoulders, and in class I was always quiet. She also told me that I could do better in my studies if I concentrated on(集中精力于……) them. It was true. One day, Ms. Welles introduced a special guest to the class—Billy Hawkins! I was 14 ! Billy said, “If you want to be a ball player, it’s important to study bard in school.” “What does school have to do with baseball?” I asked. “I’ll show you by giving you a baseball 15 .” said Billy. “Here’re three questions. Each student who answers all the three questions correctly will win two tickets to a Leopards game!” I was sure I could answer the questions. The first question was, “How do you 16 a player’s batting average (击球率)?” I wasn’t sure how to do the math on it. For the second question, Billy handed out an article about baseball. It 17 several words I didn’t understand. The third question was which team had won the World Champion when George Bush became President. 18 I knew about the World Champion winners, I didn’t know much about Presidents. Nobody got all the three answers right. Luckily, we would have another chance the following week. That week, we all helped each other. The students who were good with numbers taught the others how to work out the averages. The 19 readers helped with the difficult words, and the best history students helped with important dates and names. When we took the second baseball test, we answered all the questions correctly, and the whole class won the tickets! That afternoon at the stadium, I asked my hero to 20 on my souvenir (纪念品) baseball. It read, “Keep working hard in school. See you in the big leagues!

But that is where the happy part of this story ends and the opposite of it begins. That day, I was standing in the lunch line when a girl who hardly knew me said loudly, ''Look! Zonykins is slightly damaged.” I didn’t know what she was talking about. I just knew it wasn’t anything nice. “What’s your problem?” I asked. “I’m not the one with the problem!” She 28 , pointing at my pants. “You’re the one who’s ‘slightly damaged!’” I looked down and saw the yellow tag, hanging there and showing up at the worst time! Trying to hold back my anger, I managed to take three deep breaths, and remembered the tips about dealing with teasing: • Turn a deaf ear or just walk away. • 29 acting too upset. • Find a friend to be near. I made up my mind about what to do. As soon as I’d gotten my food, I 30 went over to where my friend Mareya was sitting and joined her, acting as if it was no big deal. The next day, I continued to pay no attention to the 31 words in the lunchroom, and by the end of the week, all the trouble had gone away. I know what I did is right.

Unsure of myself, I looked at the girl beside me, and tried to 16 what she was writing, but she went faster than I could understand, writing down what seemed to be foreign symbols. My eyes fixed on the chicken scratch I had tried. Impossible to understand. Why me? Why couldn’t I work out the problem that seemed easy to all other kids? These questions filled my head.

The next day, when he told Ms. Kaur about his decision, she was surprised. “I am proud of you, Jake. You set a/an 16 for those who are bad at some subjects, but never work for them.” From that day on, Jake started working for the contest. He was buried in the spelling books, feeling sleepy now and then. He felt sure he would sleep with the boring spellings. But he went on working. Soon the day for the first 17 of the contest came. It was his turn. He walked onto the stage. He was nervous. Ms. Kaur nodded her head encouragingly. She asked him the word. Jake wanted to 18 right there. He knew the word! “E-N-O-R-M-I-T-Y,” he answered. Unexpectedly, Jake entered the next round and worked even harder. In the final Jake felt his heart 19 loudly. But when he heard his word, he was no more nervous. “C-O-U-N-C-I-L,” he answered correctly. He made it for the subject in which he got bad grades! Opportunities come and go. The secret of success is to be 20 when an opportunity comes. When it comes, you must take it and go on, and never give up. 13．A．help B．mind C．stand D．remember 14．A．bored B．excited C．pleased D．confused 15．A．avoid B．achieve C．admire D．accept 16．A．goal B．instruction C．plan D．example 17．A．time B．word C．round D．scene 18．A．hide B．run C．sit D．dance 19．A．singing B．beating C．hitting D．aching 20．A．ready B．happy C．patient D．curious 【答案】 13．C 14．A 15．B 16．D 17．C 18．D 19．B 20．A 【导语】 本文主要讲了主人公一开始在单词拼写方面成绩不够好，为了突破自己，他决定通过比赛，让自己在拼写方面有所收获，终于功夫不负苦心人，他成功了。 【详解】 13．句意：他在其他科目上都很好，他不能忍受看到他的试卷上一个大大的“C”。 help帮助；mind介意；stand忍受；remember记住。根据“He was good at other subjects”可知，他无法忍受看到他的试卷上一个大大的“C”。故选C。 14．句意：一些学生很兴奋，因为他们擅长拼写，但其他学生则表现出厌烦的表情。 bored厌烦的；excited兴奋的；pleased满意的；confused困惑的。根据“but”可知，此句和上句是转折关系，其他学生则表现出厌烦的表情。故选A。 15．句意：似乎最好的办法是在拼写方面有所收获。 avoid避免；achieve获得；admire羡慕；accept接受。根据“He knew it took courage to take part in something he was bad at, but it was a window of opportunity.”可知，要想在拼写方面有所进步，就要在拼写上面有收获。故选B。 16．句意：你为那些在某些科目上表现不好，却从不为它们努力的人树立了榜样。 goal目标；instruction指示；plan计划；example榜样。根据上文内容和“who are bad at some subjects, but never work for them”可知，他为其他人树立了一个好榜样。故选D。 17．句意：不久，第一轮比赛的日子就到了。 time时间；word单词；round轮；scene场景。根据“It was his turn.

A few days later my dad told me that hospital tests didn’t turn out well. My sister had 13 problems. We made several trips to a well-known hearing center, but the 14 didn’t work, so my family began learning sign language. I should correct myself when I say “my family”, because I didn’t want to sit down every night and learn sign after sign. I did my own things. My parents spent hours with my sister 15 her and themselves by playing sign language games. Years passed. The summer before ninth grade, as my parents had to work, it was up to me to take care of my sister. This meant getting her to summer school in the morning, cooking for her and playing with her. One day my mother asked me to sign something, and I failed. My mom was almost in tears（眼泪）. She was so 16 that I didn’t care enough about my sister. This 17 me, realizing how selfish（自私的）I had been. I needed to talk to her. But I couldn’t even sign 18 phrases like: “Where are you going?” “What time will you be home?” “What do you want to eat?” and other questions I wanted to ask but didn’t know how. My family and I started attending sign language classes at my sister’s school. We sat down as a family watching sign language movies and playing sign language games. Today I can 19 very well with my sister. It brings a smile to my face when my sister signs something to me about one of my friends, and they can’t understand. I realized it was no fun not knowing what my family was saying. So if you have a family member with special needs, don’t put him or her aside. This person should be the first thing on your mind. With me, signing now comes before school, friends and sports, because it is the 20 of my family. 13．A．hearing B．speaking C．reading D．writing 14．A．suggestions B．treatments C．conversations D．explanations 15．A．encouraging B．controlling C．teaching D．correcting 16．A．nervous B．happy C．calm D．sad 17．A．worried B．moved C．warmed D．hit 18．A．meaningful B．useful C．simple D．short 19．A．play B．communicate C．study D．practice 20．A．language B．prize C．treasure D．symbol 【答案】 13．A 14．B 15．C 16．D 17．D 18．C 19．B 20．A 【导语】 本文是记叙文。讲述了妹妹有听力障碍，但是我没有努力去帮助她，也没有尽力去学习手语。在一次照顾妹妹的过程中发现自己根本没有办法和妹妹交流，于是我意识到自己的问题，开始学习手语，学习如何照顾妹妹，从中找到了乐趣。 【详解】 13．句意：我妹妹有听力问题。 hearing听；speaking说；reading读；writing写。根据下文“We made several trips to a well-known hearing center”可知我们去听力中心做治疗，说明妹妹听力方面有问题。故选A。 14．句意：但是治疗没有效果。 suggestions建议；treatments治疗；conversations对话；explanations解释。根据前文“We made several trips to a well-known hearing center”，可知我们去一个著名的听力中心进行治疗，说明横线上应该为“治疗”。故选B。 15．句意：我父母花了几个小时和我妹妹一起玩手语游戏，教她也教他们自己。 encouraging鼓励；controlling控制；teaching教；correcting改正。根据“so my family began learning sign language. ”可知家人开始学习手语，父母和妹妹玩手语游戏，是为了帮助妹妹和他们自己学会手语。故选C。 16．句意：她很伤心因为我对妹妹不够关心。 nervous紧张；happy快乐；calm镇定；sad伤心。根据“One day my mother asked me to sign something, and I failed.

Lily and Toby followed their two other teammates, David and Marcus, into the big hall. They laid out all their equipment on the table because the rules said the robot could not be assembled (组装) before the competition. They needed to build and program a robot that could make its way around an obstacle (障碍) course. It was said that judges often gave a surprise 13 change that would require the students to change their robotic design at the last minute. “Teams, it is now time for the new rule,” the host announced. “Some rocks will be placed on the course. You will have to make your robot remove them from the course.” “We can build an arm to pick up the rocks and 14 them on the side,” said David right away. “But that would take too much time,” Marcus replied. The team stood in 15 , each trying to think up new ideas. Toby thought hard about the design they had already planned out. Then he realized something special about their design — the secret box. “How about we create a door in the front of the 16 space in the center of the robot? We can add a sensor (传感器) to the door. So when our robot goes along and comes across those rocks, it will open the door and pick them up,” he explained. The team thought about it. “Actually, that might work. The fact that the robot is 17 these things rather than just moving them might give us extra points,” Lily said. The four set to work, 18 but quickly assembling their pre-designed robot, then adding the door with the extra parts they had brought. It was hard, and time was running out. As the buzzer (计时器) rang, Toby placed the last part on the robot. It was time for Toby’s team to compete. They set their robot on the course and watched it make its way and meet the first rock. It stopped for a second, and the members of the team 19 their breath. Then the machine opened its door and slid (滑行) across the small rock. When it passed over the rock, the rock disappeared — 20 in the robot’s secret box. The team cheered, knowing they were one step closer to the championship. 13．A．speed B．team C．time D．rule 14．A．design B．change C．place D．break 15．A．silence B．disbelief C．anger D．loneliness 16．A．empty B．natural C．bright D．common 17．A．pushing B．jumping C．collecting D．searching 18．A．directly B．carefully C．bravely D．freely 19．A．stole B．saved C．got D．held 20．A．separated B．hidden C．dropped D．cleaned 【答案】 13．D 14．C 15．A 16．A 17．C 18．B 19．D 20．B 【导语】 本文主要讲述了Lily和Toby以及其他两位成员参加机器人比赛的故事。 【详解】 13．句意：据说，评委经常会出人意料地修改规则，要求学生在最后一刻改变他们的机器人设计。 speed速度；team团队；time时间；rule规则。根据“Teams, it is now time for the new rule”可知，评委会修改比赛规则，故选D。 14．句意：我们可以做一个手臂来捡起石头并把它们放在一边。 design设计；change改变；place放置；break打破。根据“You will have to make your robot remove them from the course.”可知，规则是移动石头，所以此处指把石头放在一边，故选C。 15．句意：团队成员静静地站着，每个人都在努力想出新的点子。 silence沉默；disbelief怀疑；anger愤怒；loneliness孤单。根据“each trying to think up new ideas”可知，团队的成员都在那思考，所以是静静地站在那，故选A。 16．句意：我们在机器人中间的空处前面造一扇门怎么样？ empty空的；natural自然的；bright明亮的；common普通的。根据“So when our robot goes along and comes across those rocks, it will open the door and pick them up”可知，需要机器人将这些石头捡起来再放在这个“空的”地方，故选A。 17．句意：事实上，机器人正在收集这些东西，而不是仅仅移动它们，这可能会给我们加分。 pushing推动；jumping跳跃；collecting收集；searching寻找。根据“The fact that the robot is…these things rather than just moving them might give us extra points”可知，机器人将这些石头收集到秘密小盒子，而胜过移动石头这种方法，故选C。 18．句意：四个人开始工作，小心而迅速地组装他们预先设计好的机器人，然后用他们带来的额外部件把门装上。 directly直接地；carefully小心地；bravely勇敢地；freely自由地。根据“but quickly assembling their pre-designed robot”可知，小心地组装这些机器人，故选B。 19．句意：它停了一秒钟，队员们都屏住了呼吸。 stole偷；saved拯救；got得到；held保持。根据“their breath”可知，此处指屏住呼吸，英文表达为hold one’s health，故选D。 20．句意：当它越过石头时，石头消失了——藏在机器人的秘密盒子里。 separated分离；hidden隐藏；dropped跌落；cleaned打扫。根据“the rock disappeared”及“in the robot’s secret box.”可知，石头藏在机器人的秘密盒子里，故选B。 北京市第二中学2022-2023学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 二、完形填空 Jake was sitting all alone in the classroom during the break, thinking about the “C” he had received in his spelling test. “I knew I was getting it when I was taking the test, but I just can’t help feeling unlucky to be bad at spellings,”thought Jake.

My baseball glove was always close by: either under my desk or my chair at school. My biggest dream was to play big-league baseball like my favorite star, Billy Hawkins. My favorite 13 of the school day was the time when I could take out my glove and play catch. My teacher, Ms. Welles, told me to leave my glove at home, but I was lost without my glove. During break, I stood around with sad eyes and drooping shoulders, and in class I was always quiet. She also told me that I could do better in my studies if I concentrated on(集中精力于……) them. It was true. One day, Ms. Welles introduced a special guest to the class—Billy Hawkins! I was 14 ! Billy said, “If you want to be a ball player, it’s important to study bard in school.” “What does school have to do with baseball?” I asked. “I’ll show you by giving you a baseball 15 .” said Billy. “Here’re three questions. Each student who answers all the three questions correctly will win two tickets to a Leopards game!” I was sure I could answer the questions. The first question was, “How do you 16 a player’s batting average (击球率)?” I wasn’t sure how to do the math on it. For the second question, Billy handed out an article about baseball. It 17 several words I didn’t understand. The third question was which team had won the World Champion when George Bush became President. 18 I knew about the World Champion winners, I didn’t know much about Presidents. Nobody got all the three answers right. Luckily, we would have another chance the following week. That week, we all helped each other. The students who were good with numbers taught the others how to work out the averages. The 19 readers helped with the difficult words, and the best history students helped with important dates and names. When we took the second baseball test, we answered all the questions correctly, and the whole class won the tickets! That afternoon at the stadium, I asked my hero to 20 on my souvenir (纪念品) baseball. It read, “Keep working hard in school. See you in the big leagues!
