The music starts and my mind focuses on one thing: my figure skating(花样滑冰) routine. Dressed in my shining blue dress and 13 across the ice, I feel free. I started figure skating again in 2018 after the Pyeong Chang Winter Olympic Games. However, relearning figure skating at an older age is not 14 . Balancing on those 1.5 mm wide steel blades(冰刀) and stepping onto the clear ice for the first time in years, feelings of excitement and panic overwhelmed (充满) me at the same time. I did not remember any of the 15 or spins that I had learned as a child. To make my anxiety worse, kids much younger than me were doing double or triple rotation jumps(旋转与跳跃) and difficult spin variations. I felt so out of place. Did I really 16 here?"You have as much right to be here as anyone else, "my Olympian coach encouraged me. I was very grateful that I had found a coach that treated me the same as her other students who competed internationally. Every day at practice, she 17 me beyond my limits. The ice is as unforgiving as life. During the course of learning new jumps and spins, falls are unavoidable. Whenever I learn a move, I commit to practicing and falling for hours on end, and there would still be a large chance that I could not finish it. Many times I have asked myself, "Was it really worth it? So many hours of practice, and so much 18 spent on coaching and skates, for what?"Despite these pains, every time I feel the wind rushing past my face as I glide across the ice,I am reminded of the reason that I started skating: this is the 19 thing I will get to flying. The pain is temporary, but the joy of landing that jump I have worked on for months is something I would not 20 for the world. Fall down seven times, get up eight! 13.

A chemist doing experiments? A geologist out studying rocks? When most people think about science, they imagine characters making discoveries or finding cures(治疗方法) for new diseases. However, these leave out an extremely important part of the scientific process: communicating-- - sharing the results of that work. Imagine if someone discovered something important about a disease. Other scientists need to understand the work well enough to use these new developments to make even more discoveries in the future. The public, too, needs to understand how these discoveries might influence their lives. But none of this will be possible if the work is not shared. Being a scientist goes far beyond the moment of discovery. Without clear communication, scientists would not be able to use the work that has already been done. So how do scientists tell others about the work that they have done? How do they make sure that everything that they share is as clear and correct as possible? Researchers publish their work in scientific journals (期刊). These journals can be read by other researchers around the world. It is very important for these journals, and for the scientists who read them, to make sure that the research included is as correct as possible. In order to do that, articles given to scientific journals before publication first go through a process called peer review. Other scientists who do research in areas related to the work in an article are asked to read through it. Scientists also provide feedback to the writers. They bring up new questions the writer may not have considered, recognize limitations to the results being described, and also make sure that no mistakes were made during the process. Frontiers for Young Minds is a scientific journal written for and reviewed by young people. All of the articles in it are based on works already published in a peer reviewed scientific journal. However, while scientists are good at making sure that articles are understandable for other scientists, there are no better experts to make sure that something can be understood by young people than the young people themselves. By working together with an expert, young reviewers read the article to see if any part of the article is hard to understand, make it clear why the experiment was done in the way it was done and check whether the figures(数据) clearly explain the point of the article. Basically, these young reviewers learn to think like scientists. It is never too early to start! Ask questions, learn new things, and don't forget the importance of communicating your findings. 27. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. What is required to be a good scientist. B. Who should understand a scientist's job. C. Why sharing the results of scientific work is important. D. How scientists make sure their work is clear and correct. 28. From the passage we can know that . A. scientists are good at working together with others B. young people usually enjoy reading scientific journals C. in peer review, other scientists bring up questions to readers D. young reviewers help make articles in Frontiers for Young Minds more readable 29. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? A. To introduce how scientists do their jobs. B. To offer practical advice on how to ask scientific questions. C. To explain the effects of peer review on scientific journals. D. To encourage young people to think and excommunicate like scientists. 九年级英语 第5页(共8页) D “You’ ll get square eyes!” my mother used to say as I sat for hour after hour glued to the TV. I didn't pay any attention. Past-forward many years and now I'm the parent. My 5-year-old lives in a world where screens aren't fixed pieces of furniture. You can't even avoid them by going outside. Screens are not only in our pockets; they' re everywhere. The concerns have grown with the screens. In the past ten years, we have heard that they will damage our mental health. Many of us feel more distracted(分心的) by them, feeling guiltier and more tired as a result. The apps and websites we can use on our phones have also caused widespread concern. Big tech companies are also good at making use of our need for social acceptance, catching us on likes and follower counts. Social media has created a culture of mass narcissism (自恋), which has led many to worry about the emotional stresses on teenagers. A quick online search brings up lots of papers linking screen use or social media with harmful effects on mental health, including anxiety and depression. Such statements are alarming. They are also widely believed, thanks to popular books like iGen by Jean Twenge, which claims that digital technology has destroyed a generation. Yet, Amy Orben at the University of Oxford, who studies the influence of digital technology and social media in particular on mental health, holds different views. She claims that the studying data can be used to tell different stories. She also pointed out the weakness in several large studies that showed correlations(相关性) between the use of devices with screens and depression in users. Twenge stands by her own finding, pointing in turn to what she considers downsides in Orben's research methods. For David Max, at Royal College of Child Health in London, the effect of screen time and social media use on mental health remains speculative. “We cannot regard social media completely as good or bad,” says Davie. “We don't know whether in many cases social media is not responsible,” he says. The growth of mobile phone use has changed our lives. I can download movies, write articles, communicate with my family and broadcast to the world all at the push of a button. Rather than place limits, we should take a look at our use of screens and ask how they fit with the activities and lifestyle. Every new technology with widespread influence has given rise to new fears. So, the best way may simply be to ask yourself what level of screen use makes you and those around you happy and try to stick to it. If you find you are unable to stop, don't be anxious —— and certainly don't feel guilty. Nobody knows anything worth getting scared about. 30. According to the passage, people give likes and count followers to . A. share one's lifestyles B. show respect for others C. search for social acceptance D. reduce emotional stresses 31. The underlined word“speculative” probably means“ ”. A. questionable B. negative C. important D. deep 32. What can be learned from the passage? A. Teenagers are more influenced by screen use both physically and mentally. B. Big tech companies help to produce many research papers on mental health. C. Twenge mainly introduces the overall benefits of digital technology in her books. D. Orben believes it is too early to think screen use responsible for hurting a generation. 九年级英语 第6页(共8页) 33. The passage is written to . A. encourage readers to reduce the time of screen use B. share different opinions on the effects of screen use C. lessen people's concerns and worries about the use of screens D. explain why screen use may have some negative effects on people 第二部分 本部分共 6 题 ，共20 分。 根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读短文并回答问题(第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分) If you ask any 12-year-old what their favorite time of the day is, they’ ll tell you it’ s lunch! But for Jason, it’ s a bit different. He can’ t wait to get home and start working on his candle-making business. Jason began creating candles because the candles he bought gave his mom headaches. He was only eight years old at the time. He thought there must be a way to make a safe and all-natural candle. So, he set out to find a cleaner and more natural way to make a candle that his mom could enjoy. He was very interested in the process and the chemistry behind making the candles. Later, he found a kind of wax(蜡) that is chemical-free. He also found natural oils to add scent(香味). With the support of his mom, he started an online store in 2020. His online orders began picking up. In the fall of 2022, he opened a store at a local shopping centre. Now people can buy his candles both online and at the store. The store also sells soaps which are made by Vicky, Jason's little sister. She was inspired(鼓舞) by her brother to make her own handmade products. Jason started his business to save money for his college education. But running a business is about more than making money for Jason. He also gave some money to the community. The community spent the money supporting the local homeless shelter(救助站) and helping the kids who needed a little help with college. “My future goal is to help people around the world,” he says. His mother is proud of her son and loves to spend time with him as his business grows. She says it is really inspiring to see how his mind works. Jason has a big goal and an even bigger heart. With all the problems that seem to stop many of us from moving forward, Jason has chosen to find a solution that works, not only for himself, but as an inspiration to others. 34. Why did Jason begin creating candles? 35. Where can people buy Jason's candles? 36. How did Jason deal with the money he made? 37. What do you think of Jason?
