He was born in Qufu, a capital of the state of Lu (part of Shandong). He acted as an official (官员) there. But he was perhaps a better thinker than he was an official and he ended up having to leave the state of Lu. He spent 13 years travelling around the other states, spreading his ideas. And he tried to teach people that peace was very important for a healthy society. However, it was not until the rule of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty (156--87 BC) that his ideas were finally put into practice. In his last few years, he returned to Qufu where he spent the rest of his life teaching. His teachings were recorded by his followers in a book called Lunyu. Confucius’ teachings formed the base of Chinese thought. Confucius thought everyone should develop virtues (美德) and always do the right thing. Confucius’ thought is considered to be the necessity of Chinese culture and Eastern thought. To help people understand how to behave towards others, he taught five virtues accepted by all Chinese. They are ren (kindness, charity), yi (fairness), li (ceremony, tradition), zhi (knowledge), and xin (trust). Another virtue is xiao. xiao is the duties a person has to their parents. It means loving, respecting, obeying (服从) and taking care of one’s parents in their old age. xiao forms the base of a peaceful society. And he is the final goal according to his thought. It means social peace. Here’s one of Confucius’ famous sayings, “Do not do to others as You do not wish to be done to You.” Another saying of his is “In the company of two others, I can always find one worthy of being my teacher.”, which means we can always learn something from other people. It is clear that Confucius’ thought will continue to be a necessary part of Chinese culture. And it will continue to do something good to the development of china and even the whole world. 1． 2． 3． 4． 5． B （23-24九年级上·山西运城·期中） Most Chinese parents have great expectations (期望) of their children. When children were born, their parents had planned everything for them. It is common for parents to want their children to be successful. However, many children in China are unhappy. They live a planned life and are forced to fulfill the dreams. According to some studies, whether a child will be successful or not mainly depends on his or her parents’ expectations. However, unrealistic (不切实际的) expectations can be harmful to children. Every child has his or her own thoughts and feelings Parents’ expectations can take children’s freedom (自由) away. Wise parents allow their children to have some freedom. They encourage their children to do things they like to do and never judge them by their grades. My parents’ expectations for me are to be happy, kind and healthy. They never put too much pressure on me, and I live a happy life. However, I have my own dreams. I keep working hard, though my parents do not want me to do so. I will never lose heart because my parents always encourage me when I am in trouble. In a word, I think parents’ expectations are needed. However, parents should not give their children too much pressure. Instead, they should give them enough freedom. Parents must make sure their expectations for their children are realistic so that their children will not lose their self-confidence (自信).   Many children in China are unhappy. Most Chinese parents had 6 everything for them when they were born. Studies show whether a child will be successful or not 7 depends on his or her parents’ expectations. Every child has his or her own thoughts and hobbies. 8 parents allow their children to be free. They encourage their children to do what they want.   My parents 9 me to be happy, kind and healthy. I don’t have too much pressure but I have my own dreams. I never stop working hard. I will never lose heart because my parents always encourage me when I am in trouble. In a word, I think parents should give their children enough 10 instead of too much pressure. C （23-24九年级上·内蒙古赤峰·期中） 根据短文内容， 回答短文后的问题。 Pete hated losing anything. His parents, teachers, and many others said he didn’t know how to lose. If there was a game Pete wasn’t good at, he simply wouldn’t play it. But you could hardly stop him playing the kind of things he was really good at, like table football. A new kid started at Pete’s school, and his name was Albert. Albert was a cracking table football player, and soon they challenged each other to a game. Pete prepared for the match with great seriousness. Albert, on the other hand, walked about the whole time, smiling and telling jokes about all sorts of things. But on the football table, Albert scored goals again and again. However, Albert was paying so little attention to the match that Pete tried to change the scoreboard while Albert was looking elsewhere. Pete made a big thing of his win, but it didn’t seem to matter to Albert. “It’s been fun. We should play again some other time,” said Albert. On that day, people at school talked about Pete’s great victory (胜利). But that night, Pete didn’t feel so happy. The next day Pete saw Albert playing basketball. He lost time after time.

F （23-24九年级上·浙江杭州·期中） Brie Fainblit in California does her homework by candle light whenever the power gets cut off. If there is no water supply, she fills empty bottles at school to wash her hair. She is used to not having what other people have. Mostly, the 19-year-old student doesn’t complain and just accepts it. But she won’t do that for prom (毕业舞会). She wants to be Highland High School’s prom queen and turn heads. After all, every ordinary girl wishes the important moments in their lives to be well remembered. Brie lives with her mother, who is left disabled by an accident, and her aunt, who works two part-time jobs to support them. There is never enough money for new clothes. Usually, Brie finds what she can wear at the local Goodwill, a charity (慈善) organization that provides donations for people in need. But the prom dresses there are too big and too old. So, back in September, with the big day waiting at a distance on the calendar, she decided to make a dress for herself. She got a plan when she saw a can tab (拉环) lying on the ground, shining in the sunlight—she would make her dress out of can tabs, for free. For months, Brie’s aunt, Sylvia Davalos, has asked everyone at her jobs to help. Together with Brie and her friends, they have turned the dining room into a workshop. But who knew that tabs came in so many colors, shapes and sizes, or that some have holes and some don’t? Who knew that many would have sharp edges that would need to be smoothed out, or that it would take many months to get enough perfectly shaped silver tabs for one prom dress? Brie’s mother and aunt haven’t been able to buy her much. But they have tried to make up for it by stressing the importance of creativity. For her dress, using thick black thread (细线), Brie joins tabs together in row after perfect row. The free dress is not finished, but there’s another price to pay: Brie and her mother both have Band-Aids on their fingers. Other girls in Brie’s class will have gone to the mall to pick out their dresses. Some will ride in cars from their homes to the school, where a bus will take them all to the prom. Brie will have no nice car to ride in nor pocket money to spend. But she’ll be a proud Cinderella (灰姑娘) in can tabs, with magic that won’t disappear (消失) forever. 26．What does the underlined phrase “turn heads” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Open empty bottles. B．Complain about things. C．Refuse to attend an event. D．Draw attention from others. 27．Why did Brie Fainblit decide to make her dress out of can tabs? A．Because she wasn’t satisfied with the prom dresses at local stores. B．Because her mother and aunt always encouraged her to have a try. C．Because it cost almost nothing and would make her special at the prom. D．Because she wanted to prove her clothes-making skills and her creativity. 28．Which of the following can be inferred from the story? A．Brie leads an ordinary life just like other girls in her class. B．Lots of time and efforts went into making Brie’s prom dress. C．Brie redesigned an old prom dress from Goodwill with can tabs. D．Brie’s mom used to work in a charity organization called Goodwill. 29．For Brie, what’s the magic that won’t disappear in her life?

Music tells us who we are. Music not only reflects (反映) the social environment it came from but also expresses people’s thinking and values.

It is a way we humans communicate with each other. Through the language, we express our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science does not tell us what it means to be humans. Music does.

I used to be one of them. But now my opinion of beauty has completely changed. I was with my parents and little brothers at the McDonald’s (麦当劳). Since there are only tables with four chairs, I’m always the one to sit at a nearby table by myself. Usually, but not this time. A woman was sitting at a table, two tables away. She was young and pretty, not the traditional beauty, but none of those was why she was so beautiful to me. Her children spread the ice cream all over their clothes, and she just kissed them and that’s all. She didn’t get angry. The love and warmth this woman generated (产生) completely changed my view of beauty. She generated warmth like the sun, and her children were little planets (行星) around her. She made a difference to her children’s lives. Instead of making them feel bad about themselves, she made them feel great about everything. That is true beauty: to make a positive difference to another’s live through warmth and caring. 60．Where did the writer meet the mother? 61．What did the mother look like? 62．After children spread the ice cream all over their clothes, what did the mother do? 63．Why was the mother so beautiful to the writer? 64．In the writer’s opinion, who are the beautiful people?

It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can’t drink or use for watering plants directly. Man can only use the 3 % of the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can’t even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted. Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid a serious water shortage (短缺) later on? Firstly, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making study in this field. Today, in most large cities, water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. Even if every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next? The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it’s already in use in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way to do it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we won’t be in danger of drying up. 65．We can’t use all of the water that comes from rivers and lakes because . 66．Even if every large city , still there would not be enough. 67．Where may we get enough water to use according to this passage? 68． 69． N （23-24九年级上·浙江衢州·期中） One day in ancient Greece, King Hiero asked a crown (王冠) maker to make him a golden crown. At first, he was very happy with it. “It’s a nice crown, isn’t it?” he asked his men. Later, however, he began to wonder whether it was a real golden crown or not. “Is it made completely of gold?” he asked himself. He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out what is true. “This problem seems difficult to solve. What should I do?” thought Archimedes. Archimedes was still thinking about this problem as he filled his bath with water. When he got into the bath, some water ran over. “That’s it!” shouted Archimedes. “I know how to solve the king’s problem!” Archimedes went straight to the palace to see the king. First, he weighed the crown and asked the king for some gold of the same weight. Next, he put two pots (罐) into two big bowls and filled both pots with water. He put the gold into one pot, and some water ran into the bowl. Then he put the crown into the other pot. This time, even more water ran into the bowl. “Look at this,” said Archimedes to King Hiero. “A crown made completely of gold displaces (排出) less water than a crown made of gold and another metal (金属). This crown displaced ________, so I’m certain that it’s not completely made of gold.” “The crown maker tricked me, didn’t he? What a bad man be is!” shouted King Hiero. He then sent the crown maker to prison (监狱). 70．What’s the correct order of the following? ① Archimedes did an experiment. ② The crown maker was sent to prison. ③ King Hiero asked a crown maker to make him a golden crown. ④ Archimedes was asked to discover whether the crown is made of gold.

He was born in Qufu, a capital of the state of Lu (part of Shandong). He acted as an official (官员) there. But he was perhaps a better thinker than he was an official and he ended up having to leave the state of Lu. He spent 13 years travelling around the other states, spreading his ideas. And he tried to teach people that peace was very important for a healthy society. However, it was not until the rule of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty (156--87 BC) that his ideas were finally put into practice. In his last few years, he returned to Qufu where he spent the rest of his life teaching. His teachings were recorded by his followers in a book called Lunyu. Confucius’ teachings formed the base of Chinese thought. Confucius thought everyone should develop virtues (美德) and always do the right thing. Confucius’ thought is considered to be the necessity of Chinese culture and Eastern thought. To help people understand how to behave towards others, he taught five virtues accepted by all Chinese. They are ren (kindness, charity), yi (fairness), li (ceremony, tradition), zhi (knowledge), and xin (trust). Another virtue is xiao. xiao is the duties a person has to their parents. It means loving, respecting, obeying (服从) and taking care of one’s parents in their old age. xiao forms the base of a peaceful society. And he is the final goal according to his thought. It means social peace. Here’s one of Confucius’ famous sayings, “Do not do to others as You do not wish to be done to You.” Another saying of his is “In the company of two others, I can always find one worthy of being my teacher.”, which means we can always learn something from other people. It is clear that Confucius’ thought will continue to be a necessary part of Chinese culture.

When children were born, their parents had planned everything for them. It is common for parents to want their children to be successful. However, many children in China are unhappy. They live a planned life and are forced to fulfill the dreams. According to some studies, whether a child will be successful or not mainly depends on his or her parents’ expectations. However, unrealistic (不切实际的) expectations can be harmful to children. Every child has his or her own thoughts and feelings Parents’ expectations can take children’s freedom (自由) away. Wise parents allow their children to have some freedom. They encourage their children to do things they like to do and never judge them by their grades. My parents’ expectations for me are to be happy, kind and healthy. They never put too much pressure on me, and I live a happy life. However, I have my own dreams.

If there is no water supply, she fills empty bottles at school to wash her hair. She is used to not having what other people have. Mostly, the 19-year-old student doesn’t complain and just accepts it. But she won’t do that for prom (毕业舞会). She wants to be Highland High School’s prom queen and turn heads. After all, every ordinary girl wishes the important moments in their lives to be well remembered. Brie lives with her mother, who is left disabled by an accident, and her aunt, who works two part-time jobs to support them. There is never enough money for new clothes. Usually, Brie finds what she can wear at the local Goodwill, a charity (慈善) organization that provides donations for people in need. But the prom dresses there are too big and too old. So, back in September, with the big day waiting at a distance on the calendar, she decided to make a dress for herself. She got a plan when she saw a can tab (拉环) lying on the ground, shining in the sunlight—she would make her dress out of can tabs, for free. For months, Brie’s aunt, Sylvia Davalos, has asked everyone at her jobs to help. Together with Brie and her friends, they have turned the dining room into a workshop. But who knew that tabs came in so many colors, shapes and sizes, or that some have holes and some don’t? Who knew that many would have sharp edges that would need to be smoothed out, or that it would take many months to get enough perfectly shaped silver tabs for one prom dress? Brie’s mother and aunt haven’t been able to buy her much. But they have tried to make up for it by stressing the importance of creativity. For her dress, using thick black thread (细线), Brie joins tabs together in row after perfect row. The free dress is not finished, but there’s another price to pay: Brie and her mother both have Band-Aids on their fingers. Other girls in Brie’s class will have gone to the mall to pick out their dresses. Some will ride in cars from their homes to the school, where a bus will take them all to the prom. Brie will have no nice car to ride in nor pocket money to spend. But she’ll be a proud Cinderella (灰姑娘) in can tabs, with magic that won’t disappear (消失) forever. 26．What does the underlined phrase “turn heads” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Open empty bottles. B．Complain about things. C．Refuse to attend an event. D．Draw attention from others. 27．Why did Brie Fainblit decide to make her dress out of can tabs? A．Because she wasn’t satisfied with the prom dresses at local stores. B．Because her mother and aunt always encouraged her to have a try. C．Because it cost almost nothing and would make her special at the prom. D．Because she wanted to prove her clothes-making skills and her creativity. 28．Which of the following can be inferred from the story? A．Brie leads an ordinary life just like other girls in her class. B．Lots of time and efforts went into making Brie’s prom dress. C．Brie redesigned an old prom dress from Goodwill with can tabs. D．Brie’s mom used to work in a charity organization called Goodwill. 29．For Brie, what’s the magic that won’t disappear in her life? (write within 20 words) 【答案】 26． D 27．C 28．B 29．Brie’s creativity in solving a problem and the support from her mother and aunt. 【难度】0.4 【导语】本文主要讲述了贫穷的布里用易拉罐拉环制作毕业舞会礼服的故事。 26．词义猜测题。根据“She wants to be Highland High School’s prom queen and turn heads. After all, every ordinary girl wishes the important moments in their lives to be well remembered.”可知她想成为高地高中的舞会皇后，每个普通的女孩都希望自己生命中的重要时刻被好好记住，所以是想吸引人们的注意，所以划线词意为“吸引他人的注意”。故选D。 27．推理判断题。根据“Brie’s mother and aunt haven’t been able to buy her much. But they have tried to make up for it by stressing the importance of creativity”可知布里的母亲和姨妈没能给她买多少东西，但她们试图通过强调创造力的重要性来弥补这一点，可推知，她决定用拉环做她的裙子，是因为这几乎不花任何钱，而且会让她在舞会上变得特别。故选C。 28．推理判断题。根据“For months, Brie’s aunt, Sylvia Davalos, has asked everyone at her jobs to help”以及“Who knew that many would have sharp edges that would need to be smoothed out, or that it would take many months to get enough perfectly shaped silver tabs for one prom dress?”可知几个月来，布里的姨妈一直在请求所有同事的帮助，很多拉环的边缘都很锋利，需要磨平，要花好几个月的时间才能为一件舞会礼服制作出足够完美的拉环，可推知，花了很多时间和精力制作布里的毕业舞会礼服。故选B。 29．根据“But she’ll be a proud Cinderella (灰姑娘) in can tabs, with magic that won’t disappear (消失) forever.”以及上文内容可知她在母亲和阿姨的帮助下用拉环制作毕业舞会礼服，这很有创造力，所以对于布里而言，布里在解决问题方面的创造力以及她母亲和姨妈的支持不会消失。故填Brie’s creativity in solving a problem and the support from her mother and aunt.

I used to be one of them. But now my opinion of beauty has completely changed. I was with my parents and little brothers at the McDonald’s (麦当劳). Since there are only tables with four chairs, I’m always the one to sit at a nearby table by myself. Usually, but not this time. A woman was sitting at a table, two tables away. She was young and pretty, not the traditional beauty, but none of those was why she was so beautiful to me. Her children spread the ice cream all over their clothes, and she just kissed them and that’s all. She didn’t get angry. The love and warmth this woman generated (产生) completely changed my view of beauty. She generated warmth like the sun, and her children were little planets (行星) around her.

M （23-24九年级上·河北沧州·期中） 阅读短文，并按要求完成下面小题。65—66题完成句子；67题简略回答问题；68题找出并写下第一段的主题句；69题将文中划线句子译成汉语。 The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can’t drink or use for watering plants directly. Man can only use the 3 % of the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can’t even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted. Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid a serious water shortage (短缺) later on? Firstly, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making study in this field. Today, in most large cities, water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. Even if every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next? The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it’s already in use in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way to do it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we won’t be in danger of drying up. 65．We can’t use all of the water that comes from rivers and lakes because . 66．Even if every large city , still there would not be enough. 67．Where may we get enough water to use according to this passage? 68． 69． 【答案】 65．some of it has been polluted 66．reused its water 67．In the sea. 68．The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. 69．如今，在大多数大城市，水只被用一次，然后流入大海或河流。 【难度】0.4 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界缺水，缺水原因以及避免缺水的方法。 65．根据第一段“And we can’t even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted.”可知，不能全部利用河流和湖泊的水是因为一些已经被污染。故填some of it has been polluted。 66．根据第二段“Even if every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough.”可知，即使大城市循环用水，水还是不够用。故填reused its water。 67．根据最后一段“The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea.”可知，海洋是最好的答案，即从海洋里能获得足够的水。故填In the sea. 68．第一段主要讲世界不是饿了，而是渴了，即世界缺水，接下来作者通过列举数字来说明为何世界缺水，所以本段的主题句是“The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty.”。故填The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. 69．Today“如今”；in most large cities“在大部分大城市里”；water“水”；is used only once“只被使用一次”；and then“然后”；runs to the sea or rivers“流向海洋或河流”。故填：如今，在大多数大城市，水只被用一次，然后流入大海或河流。 N （23-24九年级上·浙江衢州·期中） One day in ancient Greece, King Hiero asked a crown (王冠) maker to make him a golden crown. At first, he was very happy with it. “It’s a nice crown, isn’t it?” he asked his men. Later, however, he began to wonder whether it was a real golden crown or not. “Is it made completely of gold?” he asked himself. He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out what is true. “This problem seems difficult to solve. What should I do?” thought Archimedes. Archimedes was still thinking about this problem as he filled his bath with water. When he got into the bath, some water ran over. “That’s it!” shouted Archimedes. “I know how to solve the king’s problem!” Archimedes went straight to the palace to see the king. First, he weighed the crown and asked the king for some gold of the same weight. Next, he put two pots (罐) into two big bowls and filled both pots with water. He put the gold into one pot, and some water ran into the bowl. Then he put the crown into the other pot. This time, even more water ran into the bowl. “Look at this,” said Archimedes to King Hiero. “A crown made completely of gold displaces (排出) less water than a crown made of gold and another metal (金属). This crown displaced ________, so I’m certain that it’s not completely made of gold.” “The crown maker tricked me, didn’t he? What a bad man be is!” shouted King Hiero. He then sent the crown maker to prison (监狱). 70．What’s the correct order of the following? ① Archimedes did an experiment. ② The crown maker was sent to prison. ③ King Hiero asked a crown maker to make him a golden crown. ④ Archimedes was asked to discover whether the crown is made of gold. A．③④①② B．③①④② C．①②③④ D．①③④② 71．Which of the following can be put in “________”? A．no water or gold at all B．less water than gold of the same weight C．more water than gold of the same weight D．the same water as gold of the same weight 72．What does the underlined word “trick” mean? A．Believe in. B．Lie to. C．Agree with. D．Care about. 73．What do you think of Archimedes? (within 15 words) 【答案】70．A 71．C 72．B 73．I think he is very clever. 【难度】0.4 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了阿基米德通过浮力测验王冠是否为纯金的故事。 70．细节理解题。通读文章可知，国王先让制作王冠的人给他制作一顶王冠，然后国王想知道王冠是否为纯金，于是请阿基米德检测。接下来阿基米德通过实验检出王冠不是纯金，最后国王很生气将皇冠制作者关到监狱里，正确顺序为③④①②。故选A。 71．推理判断题。根据前文“A crown made completely of gold displaces (排出) less water than a crown made of gold and another metal (金属).”以及后文“so I’m certain that it’s not completely made of gold.”可知，其他金属制成的王冠溢出的水要比纯金制成的王冠要多。故选C。 72．词义猜测题。根据上文可知，制作皇冠的人没有用纯金制作王冠，所以是欺骗了国王。故选B。 73．开放性作答，答案合理即可。文章主要在说阿基米德通过实验来帮国王测王冠是否为纯金，可见阿基米德非常聪明。故填I think he is very clever.
