Light pollution is when light from streetlamps or buildings makes the night less dark.There are many reasons why this is a problem.Animals sleep less because they think it is still daytime.Birds that fly to warmer countries in the autumn need to see the moon and stars to find their way,but light pollution makes this difficult.Insects and birds in cities often fly towards lights at night,crash into buildings and die. 九年级英语第4页共8页 Light pollution is also bad for us.It can stop us sleeping and give us hcadaches.Also,we don't see the same sky that people in the past did.This means we almost never see one of the greatest sight in the world:the millions of stars in our galaxy,the Milky Way.Hundreds of thousands of people have never seen it in their lives. However,it is not difficult to do a few things to reduce light pollution:we can all turn lights off when we don't need them and we can cover our windows with curtains.If there is less light pollution,we will once again be able to enjoy the beauty of the night sky 49.The lights were tuned off in Geneva on 26 September A.becausc pcople there couldn't slecp well B.so that people could go out of their houscs C.to make it easier for people to see the stars D.because there was a problem with the electricity 50.Why is light pollution bad for some birds?

"BANG!"the door was shut loudly.It was just standing there,with my father standing on one side, and I on the other side. We were both in great anger."Never set foot in this house again!"my father said angrily.With tears in my eyes,I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. I didn't know whether it was because I had grown up or because my dad was getting old.He always put his opinions on me.We were just like two people in two different worlds.It felt like there was an iron door between us that could never be opened. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night,As I walked on,there were fewer and fewer people on the streets.When I finally reached my house,I saw that the light was still on. "Perhaps my dad is throwing away some of his old stamps."I thought."Perhaps he thinks they arc useless."I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. All the lights were off except my father's. Dad was always like this.Maybe he didn't know how to express himself.After shouting at me,he never showed any moments of regret.This was how he always was.He had been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do had become his second nature. The light was still on.With the key in hand,I opened the door nervously.When I opened the door, tears ran down my face.I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist(存在). 53.Why did the writer run out and walk lonely on the street? A.He wanted to make his father feel worried. B.He wanted to think about his career carefully. C.Something unpleasant happened in his family.

D.Relaxed. 55.What does the underlined word"they"in Paragraph 5 refer to? A.The stamps. B.The opinions. C.The streets D.The lights. 56.What is the best title for the passage? A.Love-it's second to none. B.Trust-it creates a better life. C.The importance of communication. D.The relationship among family members. O Have you ever bought a cool-looking toy just because it looked fun,but then realized you never really played with it?Have you only bought a pair of trousers,but then you bought shoes,coats and oven hats,and more and more to match the trousers.This cycle just goes on and on,and you will risk losing 九年级英话第5页共8页 all the money on tons of unnecessary things.This is a phenomenon called the "birdcage effect()". The"birdcage effect"takes place more often than you think.Weeks ago,I was doing some shopping with my friends.One said that she wanted to buy a good writing pen to match the delicate notebook that her sister gave her,so that she would fall in love with taking notes on reading,and therefore love reading,not just reading.Ljoked that she must have fallen for the "birdcage effect", But the friend said with a smile:"Why not use the 'birdcage effect'instead?" For the first time,I heard that the"birdcage effect"can be used in reverse().However,this can't help but remind me of my middle school,and I seem to have used the "birdcage effect".Passing by a bookstore one day,I bought a magazine and saw the call for contributions published in the magazine, so I started writing with eager hands,and then I fell in love with writing. After shopping with my friends that time,I began to proceed to use the"birdcage effect".I bought a small fresh tablecloth to decorate my desk,and a beautiful notebook to record my creative ideas.When everything was ready,I started writing again. But how can we get away from the "birdcage effect"in many things,and even use the"birdcage effect"in the opposite way?Different kinds of "birdcages"unavoidably appear in life,but we can distinguish them.If it is not in line with the actual situation,it is a"negative birdcage",then we must learn to stop losses.If it is a "positive birdcage"that encourages us to develop upward,we can clarify our goals,shop or decorate appropriately,and encourage ourselves to move towards our goals.At this time,we will find that the "birdcage effect"is actually not so terrible! 57.Which are the examples of"birdcage effect"? D Buying a pair of trousers because they fit you very well. 2 Buying a pet dog because you get some tins of dog food for free. 3Buying a tablecloth because it is cheap without knowing how to use it. 4Buying cool-looking toys because you'd like to share them with friends. A.①② B.②③ C.②④ D.③④ 58.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.I thought she showed great interest in writing. B.I thought she would fall in love with reading. C.I thought she bought the pen just to match the notebook. D.I thought she was crazy about buying pens and notebooks. 59.The writer's experience is mentioned in paragraph 3&4 to. A.further describe what "birdcage effect"is B.teach us the ways to refuse "birdcage effect" C.explain why"birdcage effect"often takes place D.show us how to make use of the "birdcage effect" 60.What could be the best title for the passage? A.A Start or a Stop B.A Trap or a Tool C.A Way to Stop Losses D.A Creative New Tool 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共50分） 五、词汇：（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） A)根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。 6l.His lies planted the seeds of_▲_（怀疑）in my mind.. 62.In fact,,the government has taken action to fight▲_（对抗）food waste for many years.. 63.The term“Mid-Autumn'”didn't▲（出现）until the book Rites of Zhou came out,,but it only related to the time and season. 64.Some students who graduated from Nanjing.▲（大学）will share their stories about study and work with us next week. 65.We must know that nothing in the world is more.▲（宝贵的）than lives.. 66.The Internet is so widely used that we can't▲_（想象）what life will be like without it.. 67.It'swise for us students to use English▲_（语v法）as a tool to help us understand and master English. )根据句子意思，用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。 68.More and more people in Nanjing prefer taking the underground to(drive)to work. 69.The city of Qindao has _(success)stopped the spread of COVID-19 in about a week. 70.All the tourists were deeply _(impress)by the great beauty of the view from the top of the mountain. 九年级英语第6页共8页 71.Mary works so hard that she will have no difficulty(enter)the high school. 72.For those who are interested in history,Nanjing Museum is well worth (visit). 73.All the cities in China began to face muchA(strict)rules on e-bikes on July 1st,2023 in order to reduce the accidents. 74.Mr.Zhao has bought a new smartphone.He thinks its camera is(simple)amazing. 75.Great chances never last long,so we must make aA(choose)wisely and quickly. 六、阅读表达（共小题；每小题2分，满分10分） Do you speak a dialect()in daily life?While many Chinese people speak Putonghua,some local dialects are in danger of disappearing.To save them,the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago. This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places.Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone.It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world.There's an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips()and over 5 million videos. According to British linguist Harold Palmer,dialects are a key to store local cultures.Language faithfully shows the history,the beliefs and the biases of an area,he said. Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his worries of the disappearing of dialects."For about over 10 years,in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou,children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect.Meanwhile,young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it,but not very well.If this keeps happening,the dialect might disappear."he said. So how did China make this big library?A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen,said Cao Zhiyun,chief expert on the project.Over five years,more than 350 universities and research groups joined in,along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers.The project is now entering into its second part.This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects. 回答下列5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 76.When did the Chinese government start the project? 77.Where can people learn dialects? 78.What does the British linguist think of dialects? 79.What's Scholar Zhang Hongming worrying about? 80.How can people protect dialects? 七、短文填空。（共10小题：，每小题1分，满分10分） 根据短文内容及所给首字母提示写出所缺单词，使短文意思完整，每空一词。 Sometimes,children can't keep a single bit of information in their mind while they are doing something else.If so,they may have problems with their working memory.It is an important s 81 for children.Here are some t 82 to help improve children's working memory.
