This adds to her earlier success in 2018, when she became the first Chinese woman to win the 100-km race at the UTMB. The UTMB is one of the world’s most well-known trail running (越野跑) events, taking place every year in the beautiful Mont-Blanc area, covering parts of France, Italy, and Switzerland. This year, Yao completed a 57-km course with a top elevation (海拔) of 3,500 meters.“I started off a bit slow, but after 20 km, I felt stronger, especially on the downhills. It’s all about pacing (步调)--knowing when to save energy and when to push hard,”Yao explained. Yao’s love for running began in her childhood in the countryside of Guizhou. Her school was four km from home, and she walked the distance four times a day. Growing up in the mountains gave her a toughness that later helped her as a runner. At 16, she joined her city’s sports school, starting her formal training. In 2019, Yao was recommended to join the Hubei provincial team as a professional marathon runner. She was later accepted into the sports department of Central China Normal University in 2020. Balancing professional training with her studies, Yao trains in Yunnan, running about 30 kilometers a day. In her free time, she takes online courses. Though she doesn’t have much time to explore the campus (校园), Yao said,“When I have time, I will fully enjoy it.” ( )49.What did Yao Miao achieve in 2018? A.She was accepted into a sports university.

Nine in 10 school leavers in major East Asian cities are nearsighted, according to the BBC. Experts say books and video games are not to blame (负责任). East Asian students, they say, aren’t getting enough sunlight. People become nearsighted because their eyeballs grow out of shape and light entering their eyes cannot focus correctly. The body can produce a chemical called dopamine (多巴胺) to stop eyeballs from changing shape. And guess what scientists have just discovered? Sunlight can help our bodies produce more dopamine, reported AFP. According to the study, primary school students in Singapore spend only 30 minutes outdoors every day. But in Australia, kids spend three hours a day outside. As a result, fewer children in Australia are nearsighted—only 10 percent, compared with 90 percent in Singapore. “Children in East Asia basically go to school,go home and stay inside. They study and they watch television,”Ian Morgan of the Australian National University told AFP. But being a bookworm or a couch potato does not directly harm the eyes, added Morgan.“As long as they get outside, it doesn’t seem to matter how much study they do,”he explained.“There are some kids who study hard and get outside and play hard and they are generally fine. The ones who are at big risk are the ones who study hard and don’t get outside. As a result of huge educational pressures and the construction (构成) of a child’s day, the amount of time they spend outside in bright light is minimized.” Experts suggest children should stay outside for two to three hours every day. This can include time spent in the playground and walking to and from school. ( )53.What is the main reason for nearsighted students in East Asia, according to experts? A.Too much reading B.Being short of sunlight C.Genetic reasons D.Playing games a lot ( )54.What can we learn from Paragraph Two? A.Dopamine is a chemical that causes eyeballs to grow out of shape. B.Dopamine can stop light entering the eyes from focusing correctly. C.Spending time in the sun helps get more dopamine in the body. D.The more dopamine a person has in their body, the better eyesight he or she has. ( )55.According to Morgan, what kind of people are easy to get nearsightedness? A.Those who like watching TV. B.Those who take exercise regularly. C.Those who study hard and play hard outdoors. D.Those who stay indoors studying all day. ( )56.What’s the best title of this passage? A.Eyes need to see the sun B.The most nearsighted students in the world C.People become nearsighted D.Books and video games are not to blame. (D) In Flanders, a small town in Belgium, lived a little boy called Nello. He became an orphan (孤儿) at the age of two. Then he lived with his grandpa in a small house. Life was harder for them. Their life depended on Nello’s grandpa. Every morning, the old man would collect fresh milk from one house to another. He then had to load (装载) the milk on a cart and sent it to the city. Growing up a little older, Nello would try to help his grandpa to travel from Flanders to the city. One day, as Nello and his grandpa were going home from the city they saw a large dog lying on the side of the road. The dog was motionless. “What happened?” asked Nello. “Is the dog dead?” His grandpa touched the nose of the dog with his hand and examined the body of the dog. He then said to Nello, “The dog is seriously ill. We have to take him to a vet (兽医), or he will die.” With the words, his grandpa put the dog on the cart and the two went home. The fact was that the dog was abandoned (抛弃) by his master because of his serious illness. Seeing the dying dog, Nello was heart-broken. The kind hearted boy took good care of him. Even though Nello and his grandpa did not have enough to eat, he would still feed the dog with milk and bread. Day by day, the dog began to stand on his feet and became stronger and stronger. “We should give him a name,” said Nello one day to his grandpa. “That’s a good idea,” replied his grandpa. “What name do you want to give him? How about Patrasche?” said Nello. “Patrasche is a beautiful name,” said his grandpa. From then on, Patrasche became a member of the family. One day, as Nello and his grandpa loaded the cart with milk and were ready to start their journey to the city, Patrasche stood in front of the cart. “Out of the way, Patrasche,” said Nello. “We’ll be late.” But Patrasche refused to move. He was simply staring at Grandpa and wagging(摇摆) his tail. “What does he want to do?” asked Nello. His grandpa smiled and said. “I believe our Patrasche wants to help pull the cart.” Hearing Grandpa’s words, Patrasche was wagging his tail even harder. Patrasche had been badly treated by his master all his life. Never had anyone treated him nicely as Nello and his grandpa. Patrasche was thankful for the kindness he received, so he wanted to help, Grandpa tied a stripe on Patrasche, and he started to pull the cart right away. From then on, people in town would see such a scene a large dog was pulling a cart loaded with milk with the grandpa pushing behind and Nello helping at the side.

Quite simply because no one tells us how to face the failure. In fact, failure can become experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail. Most parents work hard to prevent failure or protect their children. One way is to lower standards. Nearly 60% of the parents choose this way: When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect” even though it doesn’t stand still. The other way is to blame (责怪) others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid. There’s a problem with the two ways. It will make children unprepared for the real life if they don’t meet enough failure. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, and no one can win all the time. The young should be allowed to experience failure. Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both gown-ups and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it. 84.How many ways do most parents choose to prevent failure and protect their children? 85.What will happen if a child doesn’t meet enough failure? 86.Are you afraid to fail? Why or why not? 八、书面表达。(满分15分) 初三第一学期过半，你们班Simon给你留下了深刻印象，根据表格内容，介绍一下他，并给出你的建议。 姓名 Simon, 九年级，属虎 品质 1. 自信，他不害怕在众人面前做演讲； 2. 乐于助人， 还帮助缺课同学辅导功课。 3.有爱心，关心失去父母的孩子。 喜好 最喜欢红色， 因为红色....； 对的你影响 学英语遇到困难时，从不灰心 他的烦恼 1.花太多时间在作业上，无暇顾及爱好； 2.考前焦虑紧张，父母严厉，对考试太在意 你的建议 1. 。。。。。。； 2.。。。。。。 要求：1. 必须包含所给要点，可以适当发挥；2. 语言通顺， 意思连贯， 条理清楚， 书写规范； 3. 词数90左右，短文开头已经写好，不计入总词数。 Simon is my best friend._______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 参考答案： 一、听力 1-5BCBBC 6-10 BCCAA 11-15 ACACB 16-20 CACBC 二、单选 DBDDC, CDBCD 三、完形填空 ABDBC, ABDCD, ACABC 四、阅读理解 CBD, DCBB, BCDA, DCAB 七选五 FECAG 五、词汇（略） 六、短文填空 74.weight 75.put 76.third 77.the 78.heavier 79.got 80.us 81.for 82.that 83.using 七、阅读表达 84.Two /2. 85.They will be unprepared for the real life 86.No. Because I can grow and learn from failure.
