25.They say the place may be polluted if some factories (build) in the future.
【答案】are built
【详解】句意:他们说,如果将来建一些工厂,这个地方可能会被污染。主语“some factories”与动词“build”之间是被动关系,且“if”引导的条件状语从句遵循“主将从现”的原则,所以此处需用一般现在时的被动语态(be done);主语“some factories”是复数,be动词需用are;build的过去分词为built。故填are built。

四、完成句子
32.If he doesn’t study hard, he won’t make progress.
He won’t make progress he hard.

If you careful, you’ll make more mistakes.
【答案】 aren’t more
【详解】句意:小心点,否则你会犯更多的错误。此题要求改为条件状语从句,时态遵循“主将从现”原则,结合题干可知,表示为“如果你不更小心,你会犯更多的错误”。be careful“小心”,主语是you,be动词用are,其否定式为aren’t;“更小心”more careful。故填aren’t;more。
34.You’d better turn up the radio. (改为否定句)
You’d turn up the radio.
【答案】 better not
【详解】句意:你最好把收音机开大。因句中含有情态动词had better,变为否定句要在情态动词后加not,即had better not do sth.。故填better;not。
35.He will stay at home. It rains tomorrow.(用if合并为一句)
He stay at home if it tomorrow.
【答案】 will rains
【详解】句意:他将待在家。明天下雨。改为含有“if”的主从复合句。由于“if”如果,遵循主将从现。所以第一空是will,第二空前主语是“it”,所以是动词三单rains。故填will;rains。

he quiet, he will have to leave the reading room.
【答案】 Unless keeps
【详解】句意:如果他不保持安静,他将不得不离开阅览室。分析句子可知,前一句为后一句的否定条件,可以用unless“除非”引导条件状语从句,从句时态用一般现在时,keep quiet“保持安静”,主语是第三人称单数,谓语动词用三单keeps。故填Unless;keeps。
37.Tony was reading a comic book when his mother came home. (对画线部分提问)
What Tony when his mother came home?
【答案】 was doing
【详解】句意:托尼的妈妈回家时,他正在看一本漫画书。对划线部分提问就是把陈述句变为特殊疑问句。句子的划线部分是“reading a comic book”,是干什么,所以特殊疑问词用what,动词用was doing,一般疑问句将was提前。故填was;doing。
38.you, start, now, if, you, will, dinner, before, it, finish
.
【答案】If you start now, you will finish it before dinner
【详解】分析句子可知,本句是含有if的条件状语从句。if“如果”;you作从句主语;start作从句谓语;now作状语;you作主句主语;will finish作主句谓语;it作宾语;before dinner“晚餐前”,放句末。故填If you start now, you will finish it before dinner“如果你现在开始,你会在晚饭前完成的”。
五、阅读理解
Choose the best answer(根据以下内容,选择最恰当答案)
Touch is one of the most important of our five senses. It is one of the first senses we develop. One of the most commonly accepted forms of touch among people is also one of the first experiences we have in the world—a hug!
There is no better way to understand the importance of hugs than to lose them. For those who have experienced the loss of hugs, you will know how important they are to share.
A recent research has shown that when people hug, the brain releases the chemical(化学物质) which increases our willingness to trust and reduces fear. It has also shown that hugs are great for your heart.
In 1995, a pair of newly born twins was being cared for in hospital. While one of the twins seemed quite healthy, her sister was not. After trying different medical treatments, the nurse on duty, Gayle Kasparian, placed the twins in bed together. The twins immediately snuggled(依偎) up to each other. As one placed her arm around the other, the weak baby became better gradually(逐渐地). How great the power of a hug is!
The need for hugs doesn’t disappear as we grow older, though it seems we are less willing to give them. Research on people of all ages has proven that a hug is necessary for physical and emotional health.
Without hugs we can become sad. A hug provides safety and gentleness. A hug provides us with social contact, a sense of health and a feeling of importance and belonging.

A.touch is the most important sense B.hug is one of human’s five senses

【导语】本文讲了拥抱可以帮助有困难的人,作者举了一个双胞胎的例子,说明拥抱的伟大力量,告诉人们拥抱的重要性。
39.细节理解题。根据“One of the most commonly accepted forms of touch among people is also one of the first experiences we have in the world—a hug!”人们最常接受的触摸形式之一也是我们在世界上第一次经历的体验——一个拥抱。可知,作者认为拥抱是触摸的一种形式,故选D。
40.词义猜测题。根据“There is no better way to understand the importance of hugs than to lose them. For those who have experienced the loss of hugs, you will know how important they are to share.”没有比失去拥抱更好的方式来理解拥抱的重要性。对于那些经历过失去拥抱的人,你会知道分享是多么重要。可知they指的是hugs“拥抱”,故选C。
41.细节理解题。根据“A recent research has shown… It has also shown that hugs are great for your heart.”可知,最近的研究表明拥抱对于人的心脏有好处,故选B。
42.推理判断题。根据文章第4段的最后一句“How great the power of a hug is!”可知,作者通过双胞胎的故事想要告诉我们拥抱的力量是巨大的,故选B。
43.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的句子“A hug provides safety and gentleness. A hug provides us with social contact, a sense of health and a feeling of importance and belonging.”一个拥抱提供了安全和温和,一个拥抱为我们提供了与社会接触、健康、重要的感觉和归属感。可知没有提到D选项“一种力量”,故选D。
44.最佳标题题。根据最后一段句子“Without hugs we can become sad. A hug provides safety and gentleness. A hug provides us with social contact, a sense of health and a feeling of importance and belonging.”没有拥抱,我们会变得悲伤。一个拥抱提供了安全和温和,一个拥抱为我们提供了与社会接触、健康、重要的感觉和归属感。可知文章主要是告诉人们拥抱的重要性。故选A。
六、完形填空
Intelligent animalsScientists used to believe that animals could not think, but now we know that animals can understand information and use it. 45 , if we repeat words such as Down or Sit to dogs, they’ll begin to understand them and follow the instruction. Some kinds of dogs can understand more than one hundred words!
Some dogs have jobs. Working dogs are 46 good at learning words because they have to listen carefully to instructions. Border collies, a kind of dog, are often used to move sheep. Farmers use special words to tell the dogs what to do. They say Find when they want the dog to go and look for the sheep, and then Walk when they want the dog to move towards the sheep. The dogs also need to understand the word Stop. They can also understand if they have done a job well and 47 whether the command is from their own farmer.
Dogs are not the only creatures that can learn words. An orca (killer whale) called Wilkie has been taught to repeat the words Hello and Bye-bye and can count to three. She produces the sounds by pushing air through her blowhole, but amazingly, she can 48 the sound of a human voice. If she listens to children, she sounds like a child when she repeats the words. In the wild, orcas live in groups and the young orcas make the similar sounds to the sounds the adult orcas make. So, each group of orcas 49 from other groups.
Parrots are famous for repeating words, and an African Grey parrot called Alex could understand the English words for one hundred and fifty different things—like water, banana and grape. He knew some colours and shapes, and he could count various items. He could even understand the word none or zero. People once thought it was 50 to say someone had a brain like a bird, but now it seems birds and other animals are smarter than we thought.

50.A.strange B.puzzling C.calm D.rude
【答案】45.B 46.A 47.C 48.D 49.A 50.D
【导语】本文主要介绍了动物界中有些动物可以听得懂人类的指令。
45.句意:举个例子,如果我们对狗重复“下来”或“坐下”等词语,它们就会开始理解并遵循指令。
As a result结果;For example举个例子;In fact事实上;What’s more另外。根据上文“Scientists used to believe that animals could not think, but now we know that animals can understand information and use it.”可知,此处举出小狗的实例说明动物可以理解并使用信息。故选B。
46.句意:工作犬特别擅长学习词汇,因为它们必须仔细聆听指令。
especially特别地;obviously显而易见地;truly真实地;recently最近。此处应用副词especially修饰形容词good,强调特别擅长。故选A。
47.句意:它们还会知道自己的工作是否做得好,并识别命令是否来自自己的农夫。
wonder想知道;hestate犹豫;recognize识别;guess猜测。根据“whether the command is from their own farmer”可知此处指小狗能识别主人的指令。故选C。
48.句意:她通过将空气推入气孔来发出声音,但令人惊讶的是,她可以模仿人的声音。
follow跟随;create创造;operate操作;copy复制,模仿。根据下文“If she listens to children, she sounds like a child when she repeats the words.”可知,虎鲸会模仿人类的声音。故选D。
49.句意:因此,每群虎鲸的交流方式都与其他群组不同。
communicates in a different way以不同的方式交流;stays in a distance保持距离;moves quickly away快速离开;protects their children保护它们的孩子。根据上文“In the wild, orcas live in groups and the young orcas make the similar sounds to the sounds the adult orcas make.”可知,同个群体的虎鲸幼体发出的声音与成年虎鲸相似,由此可知不同群体的交流方式不同。故选A。
50.句意:人们曾经认为说某人拥有像鸟一样的脑袋是不礼貌的,但现在看来鸟类和其他动物比我们想象的更聪明。
strange奇怪的;puzzling令人不解的;calm冷静的;rude不礼貌的。根据“once thought”和“smarter than we thought”可知,鸟儿比我们想象中聪明,所以之前人们的看法是认为鸟儿不聪明,因此说人的脑袋和鸟儿一样,是不礼貌的说法。故选D。
七、短文填空
Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words(在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺,每空格限填一词,首字母已给):
Storing data(数据) has become more convenient. Thirty years ago, people had to depend on floppy disks(软磁盘). N 51 , all we have to do is hit the “Save” button on our screens. The files will then be stored in the “cloud.” It seems that we will never run out of space. Isn’t that great?
In fact, however, the storage space we now have is not c 52 enough. Every day, 4. 5 billion internet users create a LARGE amount of data. By 2025, the amount of data worldwide will have r 53 175 zettabytes (1 ZB=1012 GB). Clearly, we can’t cover every piece of land on the planet with data centers. So where can we store all of this data?
Fortunately, some researchers have been working on new storage technologies. One of these technologies is DNA storage. DNA storage sounds futurist, but in some ways, it’s just the opposite. B 54 computers were invented, nature had been using DNA to store information.
In 2012, researchers at Harvard University wrote a book, 11 pictures and a computer program into human DNA.Each gram of DNA can hold 2.2 petabytes (PB.of information (1 ZB =1,048,576 PB.If DNA is kept in the right condition, it can keep the stored information s 55 for a million years.
There are still p 56 with using DNA for data storage. For example, it takes lots of time to write into and read from DNA.Scientists are trying to i 57 this technology. We will have to wait to see how their efforts pay off in the future.

【答案】例文
How to Spend Grade Nine
We have been here in Grade Nine, one of the most important years for us students, for nearly two months. Some of us feel good, while some do not. How should we spend this year?
First of all, it’s important to be confident. We should believe that nothing is impossible. Don’t lose heart, or you can achieve nothing. Secondly, hard work is essential. If we work hard enough, we are sure to make progress. We should also learn to be careful because carelessness leads to low marks. Thirdly, we should plan our time well and keep a balance between work and play. Finally, it’s crucial to know how to manage stress effectively. When we’re upset, we can chat with friends or teachers, play sports, or do fun stuff to relax. Keeping your worries to yourself can make them worse.
Spend the year wisely. It is you who shape your life and future!

五、阅读理解
Choose the best answer(根据以下内容,选择最恰当答案)
Touch is one of the most important of our five senses. It is one of the first senses we develop. One of the most commonly accepted forms of touch among people is also one of the first experiences we have in the world—a hug!
There is no better way to understand the importance of hugs than to lose them. For those who have experienced the loss of hugs, you will know how important they are to share.
A recent research has shown that when people hug, the brain releases the chemical(化学物质) which increases our willingness to trust and reduces fear. It has also shown that hugs are great for your heart.
In 1995, a pair of newly born twins was being cared for in hospital. While one of the twins seemed quite healthy, her sister was not. After trying different medical treatments, the nurse on duty, Gayle Kasparian, placed the twins in bed together. The twins immediately snuggled(依偎) up to each other. As one placed her arm around the other, the weak baby became better gradually(逐渐地). How great the power of a hug is!
The need for hugs doesn’t disappear as we grow older, though it seems we are less willing to give them. Research on people of all ages has proven that a hug is necessary for physical and emotional health.
Without hugs we can become sad. A hug provides safety and gentleness. A hug provides us with social contact, a sense of health and a feeling of importance and belonging.
39.The writer believes that ________.
A.touch is the most important sense B.hug is one of human’s five senses
C.touch is the first developed sense D.hug is one of the forms of touch
40.In the sentence “For those who have experienced the loss of hugs, you will know how important they are to share.” The underlined word “they” refers to ________.
A.touches B.people C.hugs D.experiences
41.A recent research has shown that ________.
A.hugs can release a kind of chemical B.hug is good for people’s heart
C.hug increases people’s fear D.hug reduces the feeling of trust
42.The story of the twins tells us ________.
A.twins should be placed in bed together B.the power of a hug is great
C.twins should be looked after together D.medical treatments are important
43.A hug provides all the following except ________.
A.a sense of social contact B.a sense of health
C.a sense of belonging D.a sense of power
44.The best title of the passage can be ________.
A.The Great Importance of Hugs B.The Different Ways of Hugs
C.The Traditional Cultures of Hugs D.The Interesting Stories of Hugs
六、完形填空
Intelligent animalsScientists used to believe that animals could not think, but now we know that animals can understand information and use it. 45 , if we repeat words such as Down or Sit to dogs, they’ll begin to understand them and follow the instruction. Some kinds of dogs can understand more than one hundred words!
Some dogs have jobs. Working dogs are 46 good at learning words because they have to listen carefully to instructions. Border collies, a kind of dog, are often used to move sheep. Farmers use special words to tell the dogs what to do. They say Find when they want the dog to go and look for the sheep, and then Walk when they want the dog to move towards the sheep. The dogs also need to understand the word Stop. They can also understand if they have done a job well and 47 whether the command is from their own farmer.
Dogs are not the only creatures that can learn words. An orca (killer whale) called Wilkie has been taught to repeat the words Hello and Bye-bye and can count to three. She produces the sounds by pushing air through her blowhole, but amazingly, she can 48 the sound of a human voice. If she listens to children, she sounds like a child when she repeats the words. In the wild, orcas live in groups and the young orcas make the similar sounds to the sounds the adult orcas make. So, each group of orcas 49 from other groups.
Parrots are famous for repeating words, and an African Grey parrot called Alex could understand the English words for one hundred and fifty different things—like water, banana and grape. He knew some colours and shapes, and he could count various items. He could even understand the word none or zero. People once thought it was 50 to say someone had a brain like a bird, but now it seems birds and other animals are smarter than we thought.
An orca in the deep ocean
45.A.As a result B.For example C.In fact D.What’s more
46.A.especially B.obviously C.truly D.recently
47.A.wonder B.hesitate C.recognize D.guess
48.A.follow B.create C.operate D.copy
49.A.communicates in a different way B.stays in a distance
C.moves quickly away D.protects their children
50.A.strange B.puzzling C.calm D.rude
七、短文填空
Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words(在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺,每空格限填一词,首字母已给):
Storing data(数据) has become more convenient. Thirty years ago, people had to depend on floppy disks(软磁盘). N 51 , all we have to do is hit the “Save” button on our screens. The files will then be stored in the “cloud.” It seems that we will never run out of space. Isn’t that great?
In fact, however, the storage space we now have is not c 52 enough. Every day, 4. 5 billion internet users create a LARGE amount of data. By 2025, the amount of data worldwide will have r 53 175 zettabytes (1 ZB=1012 GB). Clearly, we can’t cover every piece of land on the planet with data centers. So where can we store all of this data?
Fortunately, some researchers have been working on new storage technologies. One of these technologies is DNA storage. DNA storage sounds futurist, but in some ways, it’s just the opposite. B 54 computers were invented, nature had been using DNA to store information.
In 2012, researchers at Harvard University wrote a book, 11 pictures and a computer program into human DNA.Each gram of DNA can hold 2.2 petabytes (PB.of information (1 ZB =1,048,576 PB.If DNA is kept in the right condition, it can keep the stored information s 55 for a million years.
There are still p 56 with using DNA for data storage. For example, it takes lots of time to write into and read from DNA.Scientists are trying to i 57 this technology. We will have to wait to see how their efforts pay off in the future.
