So after coming to America, the use of the two words bring me a lot of 51 . For example, if I am asked, “Haven’t you had lunch yet?” and I have not had lunch yet, then in Chinese I usually say “Yes, I haven’t.” But in English, I have to say, “No, I haven’t.” Because of this, my friends often get the 52 meaning from what I want to give them. One weekend night, my roommate Mark brought his children into the room. They made some noise while playing. I did not 53 the noise since I was just watching TV. The next morning, I met Mark.

You have a “can” of soup which means the soup is in a round-shaped holder. You can do the “can-can” which is a dance from 1920s. And you might get “canned” if you do a poor job at work. It means you might lose your job. How about “fly”? You can “fly” an airplane or you can hit a “fly” that is on your food in your house. Or, you can “fly by the seat of your pants” which means you don’t make a plan before taking action. And, you know that the “fly” of a zipper (拉链) is the top part of the zipper. There are hundreds of words that are multi-meaning words. The word “set” has more meanings than any other word in the English language. When you have time, why don’t you try to think of all the ways the word “set” is used? If you look at the title of this book Can a Fly, Fly? … you know that the answer is “Yes” because you have seen an insect named “fly” go up in the air and move around through the air…which is what “fly” means. Can a Fly, Fly? Of course, it can! ( )66. What does “multi-” mean in “multi-meaning”? A. Only one. B. More than one. C. Fewer than one. ( ) 67. What might Jack do if he is often late for work and fails to finish his work? A. Do the can-can. B. Get canned. C. Be on the ball。 ( ) 68.

How many examples of multi-meaning are given in the passage? A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. ( ) 70. Why does the writer write the passage? A. To share an experience in learning English. B. To give some examples about learning English. C. To make an introduction about multi-meaning words. B a Huawei has created a cool new phone called the Mate XT.

These taxis strictly follow the rules of the road and lower the number of car accidents. d Farming in China has become smarter!

However,this low-key man had become China's wealthiest person for three years in a row, thanks to one of 1 products that almost everyone can buy it—bottled water. Zhong’s success is a story of perseverance(毅力) and hard work. As a young man,Zhong had to leave school and raise his family by 2 as a builder for ten years. In 1977 and 1978,he took the 3 college entrance exams (高考). After leaving school, Zhong worked as a reporter for Zhejiang Daily.Later,he moved to Hainan Island to work for himself.

This means the total water the AI uses during its lifetime. AI systems need data centers, which have servers (服务器) that keep and manage information. 2 Engineers use cold water to cool them down. Data centers run all day and night, so they use lots of water. The Washington Post says that for each 100-word email, ChatGPT 4 uses about 519 milliliters(毫升) of water. 3 In one year, ChatGPT 4 uses over 435 million liters of water just to write emails. This is enough water for a normal US family to use for over 1,000 years! Data centers also need a lot of electricity(电). Writing a 100-word email uses 0.14 kilowatt-hours of electricity. This could power 14 LED lights for an hour. Every year in the US, ChatGPT 4 uses over 120,000 megawatt(瓦 )—hours of electricity to help write work emails. 4 Before the chatbot is used, it already has a "carbon footprint." Training ChatGPT 3 made about 502 tons of carbon. This is the same as what 112 cars would make in a year. Also, building data centers sends CO2 into the air. 5 Microsoft uses cold metal plates with cold water to cool equipment, saving water. Natural energy helps too. For example, Tencent’s data center in Tianjin uses solar power(太阳能). These efforts can help reduce the environmental harm caused by AI. A. When servers work, they get hot. B. That’s a bit more than one water bottle. C. Companies are now trying to make AI greener. D. But they have a big influence on the environment. E. With the chatbot, people’s life becomes more convenient. F. This is enough power for all homes in Washington D.C. for 20 days. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. B. 完成图表 根据短文内容，完成图表中所缺信息。（共 5小题；每小题 1分，计 5分） When we wake up, how many of us think of what we want to do today? Almost all of us. How many of us think of improving on what we do or focus on personal growth and development? Not many. As Josh Waitzkin, a talented chess player, said in his book The Art of Learning., “We focus so much on the results that the details of the learning process are lost on us.” Why is the process of learning so important? If we are getting the result, why do we have to learn or do things in a better way? My point: Life is a marathon, not a sprint(短跑). You have to keep running. You have to build the foundation(地基) of the house strong enough so that it could bear every earthquake or storm. And believer me, bad days come. That foundation is the process of learning. Learning is more important than the results. And those who understand this always win. Many of us, me included, do not realize the importance of this process. When I used to correct my mistakes, instead of 第 9 页 共 10 页 understanding the cause of the problem, I was more interested in just copying the right answers from teachers. The next time a similar question appeared, I made mistakes again. I didn’t learn anything from the first time and ended up spending even more time later on the same thing. My dancing teacher always reminded me to improve my postures (姿势). He said that I could go on with one hour of dancing and go home and feel happy about exercising. But all of that would mean nothing if I didn’t improve my postures. Only then the body would accept changes and the right muscles (肌肉) would work; or the purpose of dancing would be meaningless. If we don’t do something properly—it could be worse than not doing it at all. But if we focus on the learning process, we could be faster and better for any future problems. 6.____________ 7.___________ 8.___________ 9.___________ 10.__________ Topic: The learning process ___6____ the result. 第 10 页 共 10 页 五、书面表达（计 15分） 在成都数字学校“名师导学·在线答疑”初三英语课堂上，Meimei 学习到了“3×(me+ing)”介绍节日的英语小技 巧，请结合图表内容，帮助 Meimei 在学校英语课堂上进行分享。 “3×(me+ing)” Name Dragon Head-raising Day Time (lunar month 农历) Theme Thank the dragon for the harvest（收获） doing eating feeling 1....; 2.... 注意：1.行文需包含所有要点； 2. 注意使用宾语从句； 3. 字数：80 词左右。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 成都七中万达学校2024-2025学年度（上）期中教学质量测评 九年级英语 参考答案 A卷（100分） 1-5 AACBB 6-10 BCDAE 11-15 BABCA 16-20 ACBAC 21-25 ABBCA 26.
