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 1 . 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. 2 , 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) 3 positive change in someone’s body. Placebos are a very 4 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 5 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 6 someone experiences pain or other illness.” Bingel and his team are working to better understand what brain processes make this happen. 1．A．delivered B．forgotten C．forgiven D．increased 2．A．For example B．Now and then C．Of course D．In the end 3．A．correct B．strange C．real D．easy 4．A．attractive B．important C．natural D．different 5．A．looks B．becomes C．keeps D．thinks 6．A．commonly B．hardly C．slightly D．strongly （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.

The victories 3 the first time in Asian Games history that athletes from one country had won both 100m titles and showed China’s recent progress in the 100m. 4 for a rival (对手) Chinese swimming star Zhang Yufei had every reason to smile in Hangzhou, after winning six gold medals. But she shed tears when 23-year-old Rikako Ikee took the bronze medal in the women’s 50m butterfly. Japan’s Ikee had amazed the world by grabbing six gold medals at Jakarta 2018, before a serious disease which was likely to end her promising career appeared. 5 , the brave Japanese star started a courageous battle against the illness and made a victorious return to the pool.

It might sound disgusting, but insects have actually been part of 1 diets in many parts of the world. In Thailand, fried crickets are a popular snack. In Ghana, eating termites helps people get the protein they need. And in Mexico, ant eggs fried in butter are thought to be delicious. Moreover, eating insects could be the 2 to world hunger. Many people around the world don’t have enough food to eat. Meanwhile, the earth’s population keeps growing. It is said that it will reach 9,000,000,000 by the year 2050. 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 3 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 4 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. 5 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 6 , we should keep an open mind.

(选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文) Before the pandemic, it was common to greet others with a hug or a shake of the hand. That’s now being   1 by some people with an elbow or fist bump (碰手肘或者拳头). In the past, men bowed-bending forward at the body and lowering the head as if to say, “I’m not all that important”. Bowing is elegant (优雅的) and unlike elbow bumps, can totally avoid 2 . So, what do you think? Should bowing make a comeback? Yes, it’s a humble, graceful greeting. Bowing provides a practical and graceful solution to the problem of how to greet one another in the midst of a pandemic. Bumping elbows might not spread coronavirus but it doesn’t have the elegance of a bow. It can be awkward not knowing how to greet someone, so a bow can sort this out. It means that people know 3 what to do without colliding(碰撞) somewhere between a hug and a handshake. A bow is a gesture of humility(谦逊), which is a sign of strength. The Victorian writer, Charles Spurgeon, wrote that the humility of a bow leads to feeling invincible(无敌的). 4 , in these serious times, it could be fun pretending to be in a novel by a Victorian writer. No, it’s 5 to greet people in this way. Physical touch reduces anxiety, stress and even pain. The pandemic has highlighted(突出) how much people want to hug their friends and family. Can you imagine bowing to a grandmother? In the past, bowing was common in the UK when people at the 6 —such as royalty(皇室) and the rich—were considered more important than those lower down—such as children and the working classes. Society should not go back to a way of doing things that highlights inequality between groups. There are better ways to greet, such as the Southeast Asian way of saying “Namaste(合十礼)”, with palms together, pointing upwards in gratitude. 1．A．changed B．replaced C．exchanged D．turned 2．A．contact B．connection C．relation D．link 3．A．even B．early C．exactly D．especially 4．A．Besides B．But C．Instead D．Still 5．A．out of hand B．in use C．out of date D．in business 6．A．center B．bottom C．palace D．top （22-23九年级上·上海徐汇·期中） I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, credit cards, success...I wanted it and worked 1 it like everyone else, all of us are separately(独自) looking for the same thing. However, one year it all fell apart through a series of unhappy events. I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $56. I 2 some places which I could rent for the cheapest possible amount. I came upon a poor house four miles up a winding mountain road over the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was abandoned(被遗弃的), full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it, and cleared a country to camp in. The locals knew nothing about me, but 3 , they started teaching me the art of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began 4 around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a different American Dream—not the one person but the neighbor’s friendship. What I have believed in, all those things I thought were not 5 in this place. Up on the mountain, my most valuable things were my relationship with my neighbors. Four years later, I moved back into town. I saw many people having a really hard time, losing their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to take in a handful of people. There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places. We would all be in 6 if we didn’t stay together. Now the American Dream I believe in is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get for myself: it’s about how we can all get by together. 1．A．towards B．opposite C．before D．behind 2．A．crossed through B．left away C．walked around D．searched for 3．A．unhappily B．certainly C．slowly D．faithfully 4．A．turning B．looking C．showing D．sticking 5．A．exciting B．real C．necessary D．interesting 6．A．conversation B．shelters C．economy D．efforts （23-24九年级上·上海浦东新·期中）Are you at the top, in the middle, or at the bottom in your class? Teachers and schools are not 1 to rank（把……分等级）students in this way, but it’s hard not to. 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. When you’re trying to “be the best that you 6 be,” ranking is unimportant. 1．A．imagined B．allowed C．refused D．planned 2．A．pain B．fun C．competition D．friendship 3．A．so that B．what’s more C．because D．whether 4．A．just B．only C．exactly D．really 5．A．perform B．think C．serve D．play 6．A．must B．should C．can D．need （22-23九年级上·上海·期中）Choose the best words or expressions and complete the passage Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a change in number. Human beings are born with this ability. 1 , experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest (巢) has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will notice. However, if you remove two, the bird generally leaves. This means that the bird 2 the difference between two and three. Another interesting experiment showed a bird's 3 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow (乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 4 until the man left the tower. The man had an idea. He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they weren't successful in fooling the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was 5 with three men and then with four men. It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they finally managed to take a photo. How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old 6 notice if something is taken away from a small group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are often very confused. It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human ability is not much better than a crow's. 1．A．Importantly B．Surprisingly C．Disappointedly D．Fortunately 2．A．went out B．found out C．looked out D．turned out 3．A．forgetful B．friendly C．amazing D．silly 4．A．escape B．return C．fly D．sing 5．A．noticed B．mentioned C．repeated D．produced 6．A．never B．rarely C．properly D．usually （23-24九年级上·上海青浦·期中）Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短文)   Why is setting goals important? 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 1 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 2 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. 3 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 4 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 5 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 6 situations that will bring you nearer to your goal. 1．A．imagine B．discuss C．experience D．show 2．A．free B．dull C．fixed D．wasted 3．A．Lucky B．Young C．Ordinary D．Unsuccessful 4．A．practice B．change C．admit D．decide 5．A．improved B．reviewed C．set D．reached 6．A．aware of B．worried about C．familiar with D．used to （23-24九年级上·上海闵行·期中）Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage. (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 1 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 2 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, 3 , 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 4 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 5 for the first time: The things that matter are not things but our life. Everything that was important had 6 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. It helped me to learn that love we share is far more important than the things we possess (拥有). Love others. Help everyone. Let the love inside of you make this world a warmer place. Let your soul shine brightly. 1．A．later B．earlier C．ahead D．forward 2．A．gone off B．broken down C．gone out D．broken out 3．A．therefore B．besides C．meanwhile D．however 4．A．helplessly B．unluckily C．uselessly D．importantly 5．A．nothing B．anything C．something D．everything 6．A．failed B．survived C．escaped D．passed （19-20九年级上·上海黄浦·期中）B．Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短文) People often remember what they were doing when they heard the news of important events in history. In the United States, 1 , many people remember what they were doing on April 4, 1968. This was one of the most important events in modern American history. On this day, Dr Martin Luther King was killed in the city of Memphis in America. Although some people may not remember who murdered him, they remember what they were doing when they heard about it. Everyday activities can seem important. Robert Allen is now over 40. He was just a student at that time, but he remembers what he was doing when he heard the news. “It was a bright, sunny day,” Robert remembers. “We were having fun in the playground when the bell rang. Our teacher asked us to 2 what we were doing and listen. He told us the news: “Dr Martin Luther King died just ten minutes ago! We couldn’t believe it!” School closed for the day, and Robert and his friends walked home together in silence. Dr Martin Luther King’s murder 3 about thirty years ago, before many Americans were born. However, in more recent times, most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center in New York was destroyed by terrorists. The date --- September 11, 2001 --- has special 4 to most Americans. Not all events in history are as 5 as the above, of course. Many Americans also say they remember what they were doing when man first walked on the moon on July 20, 1969. In more recent history, most Chinese remember what they were doing when Yang Liwei became the first Chinese astronaut in space. Yang went into space on October 15, 2003.

One dog has show himself to be 2 good at both finding his way around and getting food. Every morning Rusty, the dog goes down to his local railway station.

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 1 . 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. 2 , 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) 3 positive change in someone’s body. Placebos are a very 4 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 5 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 6 someone experiences pain or other illness.” Bingel and his team are working to better understand what brain processes make this happen. 1．A．delivered B．forgotten C．forgiven D．increased 2．A．For example B．Now and then C．Of course D．In the end 3．A．correct B．strange C．real D．easy 4．A．attractive B．important C．natural D．different 5．A．looks B．becomes C．keeps D．thinks 6．A．commonly B．hardly C．slightly D．strongly 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．A 6．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。 1．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.

Many people around the world don’t have enough food to eat. Meanwhile, the earth’s population keeps growing. It is said that it will reach 9,000,000,000 by the year 2050. 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 3 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 4 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. 5 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 6 , we should keep an open mind.

(选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文) Before the pandemic, it was common to greet others with a hug or a shake of the hand. That’s now being   1 by some people with an elbow or fist bump (碰手肘或者拳头). In the past, men bowed-bending forward at the body and lowering the head as if to say, “I’m not all that important”. Bowing is elegant (优雅的) and unlike elbow bumps, can totally avoid 2 . So, what do you think? Should bowing make a comeback? Yes, it’s a humble, graceful greeting. Bowing provides a practical and graceful solution to the problem of how to greet one another in the midst of a pandemic. Bumping elbows might not spread coronavirus but it doesn’t have the elegance of a bow. It can be awkward not knowing how to greet someone, so a bow can sort this out. It means that people know 3 what to do without colliding(碰撞) somewhere between a hug and a handshake. A bow is a gesture of humility(谦逊), which is a sign of strength. The Victorian writer, Charles Spurgeon, wrote that the humility of a bow leads to feeling invincible(无敌的). 4 , in these serious times, it could be fun pretending to be in a novel by a Victorian writer. No, it’s 5 to greet people in this way. Physical touch reduces anxiety, stress and even pain. The pandemic has highlighted(突出) how much people want to hug their friends and family. Can you imagine bowing to a grandmother? In the past, bowing was common in the UK when people at the 6 —such as royalty(皇室) and the rich—were considered more important than those lower down—such as children and the working classes. Society should not go back to a way of doing things that highlights inequality between groups. There are better ways to greet, such as the Southeast Asian way of saying “Namaste(合十礼)”, with palms together, pointing upwards in gratitude. 1．A．changed B．replaced C．exchanged D．turned 2．A．contact B．connection C．relation D．link 3．A．even B．early C．exactly D．especially 4．A．Besides B．But C．Instead D．Still 5．A．out of hand B．in use C．out of date D．in business 6．A．center B．bottom C．palace D．top 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 5．C 6．D 【导语】本文介绍了流行病前后问候打招呼方式是否需要改变，对于以前的“鞠躬”这种方式进行了讨论，“鞠躬”是谦逊的表现，但又是一种过时且体现阶级分化的表现。 1．句意：现在正在被一些人替换成了碰手肘或者拳头。 changed改变；replaced替代；exchanged交换；turned转变。根据前文以及本句“Before the pandemic, it was common to greet others with a hug or a shake of the hand.

No, it’s...to greet people in this way.”可知，前文说鞠躬这种方式的好处，后面表示否定，谈论不好的地方，故选C。 6．句意：在过去的英国，当人们处在高位，比如皇室或者富有的人，鞠躬，是很普遍的，比那些处在低级的小孩或者工人阶级更重要。 center中心；bottom底部；palace宫殿；top顶端。根据语境“ In the past, bowing was common in the UK when people at the...such as royalty(皇室) and the rich...”可知，皇室和富有的人应该是“高级的”人，处在上层次的人物，故选D。 （22-23九年级上·上海徐汇·期中） I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, credit cards, success...I wanted it and worked 1 it like everyone else, all of us are separately(独自) looking for the same thing.

I came upon a poor house four miles up a winding mountain road over the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was abandoned(被遗弃的), full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it, and cleared a country to camp in. The locals knew nothing about me, but 3 , they started teaching me the art of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began 4 around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a different American Dream—not the one person but the neighbor’s friendship. What I have believed in, all those things I thought were not 5 in this place. Up on the mountain, my most valuable things were my relationship with my neighbors. Four years later, I moved back into town. I saw many people having a really hard time, losing their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to take in a handful of people. There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places. We would all be in 6 if we didn’t stay together.

Teachers and schools are not 1 to rank（把……分等级）students in this way, but it’s hard not to. 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.

It is the ability to recognize a change in number. Human beings are born with this ability. 1 , experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest (巢) has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will notice. However, if you remove two, the bird generally leaves. This means that the bird 2 the difference between two and three. Another interesting experiment showed a bird's 3 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow (乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 4 until the man left the tower. The man had an idea. He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they weren't successful in fooling the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was 5 with three men and then with four men. It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they finally managed to take a photo. How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old 6 notice if something is taken away from a small group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are often very confused.

It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they finally managed to take a photo.”可见该实验进行反复检测调整，故填“repeated”，故选C。 1．句意：例如，14个月大的婴儿很少注意到是否有东西从一个小群体中被拿走。 考查副词。never从不；rarely很少, 不常；properly正确地，恰当地；usually通常地。首尾呼应。根据上文，“How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good...”得知人类对数字的意识不是很好，又由“...But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are often very confused...”得出“rarely”“很少发现”更符合句意。故选B。 【点睛】完型填空，考查学生们在具体语境中运用语言的能力，综合性较强。做题时，应先通读短文，了解大意；然后根据上下文语境的提示做题，先易后难，注意辨析选项中的单词的意思和用法，并注意空前后的搭配；最后应再读一遍短文，检查答案。例如第1小题，句意：令人惊讶地是，实验表明许多动物也是。考查副词。Importantly重要的是Surprisingly出人意料地；Disappointedly失望地；Fortunately幸运地。根据上下文句意，由“Human beings are born with this ability...”到“experiments show that many animals are, too...”可看出空格前后句意上表达出递进关系。应填Surprisingly。故选B。 （23-24九年级上·上海青浦·期中）Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短文)   Why is setting goals important?

Successful people 1 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 2 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. 3 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 4 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.
