The stories of Li Bai and Gao Shi come to life before our eyes. In the movie, Li is a poetry genius (诗歌天才). Gao is a common man. Gao stammers (口吃) when he is young. He also has problems with reading. When he sees words, there seem to be a group of tadpoles swimming around on the paper. However, even so, I still like Gao. A girl named Pei Shier wins a fight over him. This makes Gao see that he needed to work harder on his skills. He doesn’t make it to the military examination (武考). Then he chooses to read the classics and poems again to get ready for the imperial examination, or keju. It shows us that Gao always takes a positive attitude (积极的态度) to different problems. And it also turns out that luck likes those who work hard. In the end, Gao becomes a great military leader and leads his team to win a big fight.

Poverty, hard work, and even the fact that Father March was away with the Union armies could not down the spirits of Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, and Merimee. The March sisters tried to be good but had their share of faults. Pretty Meg was often displeased with the schoolchildren she taught; boyish Jo was easy to become angry; golden-haired schoolgirl Amy liked to show up; but Beth, who kept the house, was loving and gentle always. The happy days passed and darkness came when a telegram arrived for Mrs. March. “Your husband is very ill,” it said, “come at once.” The girls tried to be brave when their mother left for the front. They waited and prayed. Little Beth got scarlet fever (猩红热) when she was taking care of a sick neighbor. She became very ill but began to recover by the time Merimee was back. When Father came home from the front and at that joyful Christmas dinner they were once more all together. Three years later the March girls had grown into young womanhood. Meg became Mrs. Brooke, and after a few family troubles got used to her new state happily. Jo had found pleasure in her literary efforts. Amy had grown into a young lady with a talent for design and an even greater one for society. But Beth had never fully regained her health, and her family watched her with love and anxiety. Amy was asked to go and stay in Europe with a relative of the Marches’. Jo went to New York and became successful in her writing and had the satisfaction of seeing her work published there. But at home the bitterest blow was yet to fall. Beth had known for some time that she couldn’t live much longer to be with her family, and in the springtime she died. News came from Europe that Amy and Laurie, the grandson of a wealthy neighbor, had planned to be married soon. Now Jo became ever more successful in her writing and got married to Professor Bhaer, and soon afterwards founded a school for boys. And so the little women had grown up and lived happily with their children, enjoying the harvest of love and goodness that they had devoted all their lives to. 32. The members of the March family were Father March, Mrs. March and their ________. A four daughters B. five daughters C. son and four daughters D. son and five daughters 33. Who was the most successful in career (事业) among the March girls? A. Jo. B. Beth. C. Amy. D. Meg. 34. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The March Family. B. The March Parents. C. The March Girls. D. The March Relatives. 35. It can be inferred from the passage that the March family had ________. A. both happiness and sadness B. wealthy neighbors C. more girls than boys D. a lot of rich relatives D 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项来补全短文。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In modern times, people often take aspirin (阿司匹林) when having a headache.

Those students think the schooling has nothing to do with their lives, such as the kind of work they will do in the future. How can teenage students become more engaged（参与）with their studies? Geoff Mulgan, social commentator and TED speaker, believes the solution（解决方法）is to make learning more relevant. He studied the way of people’s learning in schools around the world, from Australia to Paraguay. His research suggested that a new model of schooling was needed— a model that connects what students are learning to their own plans for their future. “What kind of school would have teenagers fighting to get in, not fighting to stay out?” wondered Mulgan. His answer is the one in which students can learn things by doing. Mulgan helped create the Studio School, a system of publicly funded（资助）schools for 14-to 19-year olds in the U.K. Unlike traditional education, Studio Schools connect knowledge learning with practical training for future jobs. About 80 percent of the courses are done not through sitting in classrooms but through real-life, practical projects which include working at local businesses. Mulgan says that many teenagers “I learn best in teams, and they learn best by doing things for real.” This different method is also improved by more personalized（个性化）instruction and support. Studio Schools are smaller than traditional schools — usually around 300 learners — to make sure that every student feels valued. Each student has a “personal coach” who helps him or her develop a plan to meet their learning goals. By having more clear goals, students become more confident of doing well at school. Reports have shown hopeful results. Many traditional school students who were not getting good grades improved greatly after they moved to a Studio School. Mulgan says Studio Schools are based on a simple idea that turns education on its head. They think teamwork and practical projects are very important while learning. This simple idea is spreading. From just one school in 2010, Studio Schools had grown to more than 40 by 2014. Engaging learners ___61___ Some students don’t do well at school and they aren’t engaged with their studies ___62___ they think their schooling isn’t connected with their future lives. Solution By researching ____63____ people around the world learn, Mulgan believes students need a new model of schooling. It should connect learning to their own ____64____ plans. ● Studio Schools, ___65___ from the traditional ones, make it possible to connect knowledge learning with practical training. ● Instead of sitting in classroom, students in Studio Schools finish most courses through practical projects, ____66____ working at local businesses. ● With around ____67____ learners, Studio Schools provide personal plans for students to meet their learning needs. ● Having clearer goals in mind, the confident students make great ___68___ in their schoolwork. Results ● According to a simple idea that teamwork and practical projects really matter, Studio Schools had grown from only one in 2010 to ___69___ 40 by 2014. ● From the picture, we can see that students in Studio Schools always wear a _____70_____ face while studying there. 七、书面表达（共1题；满分15分） 71. 学生喜欢在家还是在电影院看电影？为此在学校做了调查。请你据此选择一种方式，写一篇短文在校英语社团主题活动中进行交流，并谈谈你的选择和理由。 watching films in the cinema (64%) ·enjoy huge screens ·feel excellent sound ·transport you to the film (身临其境) ·... watching films at home (36%) ·spend less money ·have more choices ·be free ·... 要求： 1. 内容必须包括某种看电影方式的所有信息，并对省略部分进行适当扩充； 2. 语意通顺，意思连贯，条理清楚，书写规范； 3. 文章不少于90词，开头已给出，不计入总词数； 4. 文中不得出现真实的姓名、校名等信息。 Recently, I’ve done a survey about whether students like to watch films at home or in the cinema. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2023—2024学年第一学期九年级英语期中试卷 本试卷共8页，满分120分。考试用时100分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必用0.5毫米黑色水笔将自己的姓名、考试号填写在试卷、答题卷上相应位置。 2. 选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卷上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净，再选涂其他答案。答案答在试卷上无效。 3. 非选择题必须用0.5毫米黑色水笔作答，答案必须写在答题卷各题目指定区域内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新答案； 不得使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 祝同学们考出优异成绩！ 一、听力部分（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） 第一部分 听对话回答问题 本部分共有10道小题，每小题你将听到一段对话，每段对话读两遍。在听每段对话前，你将有5秒钟的时间阅读题目；听完每段对话后你将有5秒钟的时间选出你认为最合适的答案。听到“嘀”的信号时，进入下一小题。 1.
