How do you put on a pair of glasses with only one leg? The answer is: wear them lying down. In his later years, Mao was in the habit of reading lying down. With his reduced vision (视力), he had to wear glasses. But no matter on which side he lay, one of his temples (太阳穴) was always be painfully pressed. So the optician’s (眼镜商店) owner came up with a simple but practical idea: remove one of the glasses’ legs. Had it not been for his love of books, there might not have been two pairs of one-legged glasses. Anyone who has been to Mao’s residence (住处) was shocked by the vast collection of books everywhere. There were books on the bed, dining table, coffee table, even in the hallways and bathrooms. The Fengze Garden in Zhongnanhai, where he used to live, was like a small library, with 36 shelves against the walls. During the war years, it was not easy to get a few books. With each transfer (转移) of troops (部队), Mao was willing to simplify belongings, except for books. He had a large bag specially made for carrying books. No matter how hard it was, he would always keep the bag. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Mao no longer had to hide and read with anyone. Whenever he went out, even if it was only for a day or two, he took some books with him. Although he suffered from eye diseases as an older man, he ignored his doctor’s advice and read secretly. When the medical staff took away his books, his tears came out, “For me, reading is resting. I just love reading books all my life…” 46．Are the old reading glasses of Mao Zedong very special or just normal? 47．How do you put on a pair of glasses with only one leg? 48．During the war years, what was his special bag made for? 49．What did Chairman Mao take with whenever he went out? 50．What’s your idea of reading books? 衡阳市衡山县多校2023-2024学年九年级上学期期末英语试题 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容回答所提问题。 There is not enough oil in the world now. As time goes by, it becomes less and less, so what are we going to do when it runs out? Perhaps we will go back to use horses, carriages and bicycles. In the Second World War, some people didn’t use gas made from Petroleum (石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The cars didn’t go fast, but they ran, so this was better than nothing. However, in the future, we can’t cut down all our trees to make gas; we need our trees for other things, too. Besides different types of gas, we can also use electricity (电) to run our cars, but first we must make the electricity! Some countries have coal and they make electricity with that, but we might not always have coal, either. Other countries have big strong rivers, and they can use the power of water to turn turbines (涡轮机) and make electricity more easily and cheaply. We are also able to get electricity from the ocean tides (潮汐). We put turbines into the mouth of the river. Then the tide comes in; the water turns the turbines and then it goes out; it turns them again. Which of these ways will be used to run our cars in the future? 51．Is there enough oil in the world now? 52．When might people have to go back to use horses and bicycles? 53．What did some people use to make gas in the Second World War? 54．Why we can’t cut down all the trees to make gas in the future? 55．How many ways are suggested to make electricity in the passage? 娄底市双峰县私校联考2023-2024学年九年级上学期期末英语试题 Like many other foreigners, Rosalind Oliver’s first touch of Chinese Tai Chi came from popular kung fu movies. However, she has become a Tai Chi master herself, teaching it to both Chinese and foreigners. Oliver’s journey with Tai Chi began in her early 20s, when her backache was always troubling her and she was turning to an exercise. Then she discovered advertisement classes about Tai Chi by accident and decided to try the “mysterious” eastern sport. Right away Oliver fell in love with the beautiful movement of Tai Chi. To her joy, she found that her back pains disappeared after years of practice. Oliver later met her late husband, who was also her Tai Chi teacher. In the early 1990s, the couple opened their own Tai Chi school in the UK. To further understand Tai Chi, they decided to start a journey to China. However, three years after moving to Shanghai in 2000, her husband died, leaving her alone to work on Tai Chi. The 58-year-old British woman recalled that it was a hard time for her. However, she was thankful to Chinese friends in Shanghai who supported her through the painful process. “They didn’t treat me like a foreigner, but rather like a friend.” Oliver said. In 2005, Oliver set up the Double Dragon Alliance Cultural Center, which acts as a bridge for foreign people to get a better understanding of Chinese culture such as traditional Chinese medicine and Peking Opera. Besides her Tai Chi classes, Oliver now teaches English at Shanghai University. Oliver expressed her deep love for cultural exchange and hoped to spread her work in this area. 56．When did Oliver’s journey with Tai Chi begin? 57．What happened to Oliver’s back after years of practising Tai Chi? 58．Where did Oliver’s couple open their own Tai Chi school? 59．Why did Oliver set up the Double Dragon Alliance Cultural Center? 长沙市岳麓区湖南师大附中博才实验中学2023-2024学年九年级上学期期末英语试题 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成下列任务。 On February 21 each year, UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) holds an International Mother Language Day (IMLD). The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance of the world’s languages. Many of them are disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact. What happens when a language dies out? Something great is lost—not just sounds and marks but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. They keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Kill a language and all these are killed too. Through IMLD, more and more people gradually realize the terrible situation and try to stop it. Many upload (上传) texts, audios (音频) and videos on the website of Google’s 2018 Endangered Languages Project to spread ways of communication. Also, the Myaamia Project makes efforts to save the language of the Miami tribes ( ßi&) by encouraging people to study and communicate with it. These activities have one thing in common—they give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep languages alive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities. They “share the word” to save the world. So, while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling of our mother language. This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.” 60．When is the International Mother Language Day held every year? 61．How do people keep different cultures and traditions? 62．What do the activities like the Myaamia Project have in common? 63．Why should we remember the wise words of Nelson Mandela? 64．Do you want to celebrate the International Mother Language Day? Why or why not? 湘潭市2023-2024学年九年级上学期期末英语试题 阅读下面的短文，根据提示回答问题或翻译句子。 Today some robots are very human-like. ① 他们能行走，跳舞，甚至像我们一样聊天。 It’s fun to watch them perform tasks that were once only done by humans.

There is no way you can get on board without it. Don’t worry. In the near future, people will just need a digital (数字的) ID on their smartphones. On March 11, at a two sessions news conference (两会记者招待会), Premier Li Keqiang said that the government would introduce a digital version (版本) of the national ID cards this year. One aim is to better meet the basic living needs of more than 100 million people who live away from their home provinces. These people have to go to school or work at different places other than their homes. Sometimes to prove that “I am who I am”, they have to run back and forth across provinces to provide ID on the spot. It is a waste of time, money and manpower, noted The Paper. Digital ID cards can allow information to be accessed (获取) by a simple scan (扫描) with a smartphone, said Premier Li. The government would also provide convenience for people who do not use smartphones, especially the elderly. People’s information security and privacy would also be taken note of, said the Premier. In fact, China’s Ministry of Public Security started a pilot trial (初步试验) of digital IDs in 2018. It allowed people in cities including Quzhou, Hangzhou and Fuzhou to apply for digital national IDs on Alipay, reported China National Radio. The digital ID could be used to open bank accounts, check into hotels and buy high-speed railway tickets, among other things. China issued (颁发) its first ID card in 1984. The current ID card is the second-generation version, with an embedded chip (内嵌芯片) and digital encryption (加密). With 18 digits (数字), the ID number is made up of numbers standing for the holder’s birthplace, birth date and gender (性别). 70．When did Premier Li Keqiang tell us the news that China would introduce a digital version of the national ID cards? 71．For the people who live away from their home provinces, what should they do to prove that “They are who they are”? 72．Will the government provide convenience for people who do not use smartphones? 73．What do 18 digits on the ID card stand for? 74．What do you think of digital ID cards? 株洲市渌口区2023-2024学年九年级上学期期末考试英语试题 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 A long time ago in a rich and beautiful country, there lived an unhappy king. He slept badly and didn’t feel like eating. His face was always pale as chalk. He often cried for no reason. This made the queen and his people worried. One day, a doctor was called in to examine the king. But he found nothing wrong with his body. “It’s all in his mind. Neither medicine nor rest can help him. What he needs is the shirt of a happy person to wear. That’ll make him happy.” The prime minister was called to the palace. But when they explained the king’s situation to him, he said, “Although I have a lot of power, it doesn’t make me happy. I’m always worried about losing my power. Many people are trying to take my position.” Then, the king’s banker came to the palace. “Oh, I’m afraid I’m not happy, either,” he said. “I have a lot of wealth, but I’m always worried about losing my money. Someone tries to steal my money every day.” Next, the palace singer came to the king’s room. But this was what he said: “It’s true that I’m famous and everyone loves my songs. But I’m not happy because I’m always worried about being followed by others. I cannot be free!” Finally, the king’s top general was told to go out and find a happy man in three days’ time. 75．What was the matter with the king? 76．What did the doctors advise the king to find? 77．Who came to the palace after the prime minister? 78．Why did fame not make the singer happy? 长沙市开福区青竹湖湘一外国语学校2023-2024学年九年级上学期期末考试英语试题 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Trends (潮流) come and go. Many things that people buy to follow the fashion end up in the rubbish bin. Now, young Chinese people are giving these things a second life. Nowadays, we can see many “stoopers” in big cities like Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. They pick up idle (闲散的) things and reuse them. Chen Jiaorong, 27, is one of them. She has been stooping since June 2022. At that time she found that many people were letting go of things hardly used after the COVID lockdown (封闭管控) in Shanghai. After that, she often “hunted treasures (寻宝)” in her free time. Now, her small apartment holds things redesigned (重新设计) from the idle things she collected, including tables, chairs and clothing. “Some say stooping means collecting rubbish,” Chen said. “But for me, it is about making the best use of things.” That’s why she wanted to share the trend with others. Sometimes Chen also puts eyeball-shaped stickers (小贴纸) on idle things that she doesn’t need and posts pictures of them on social media (社交媒体) for others to find. With a hobby of keeping things since childhood, Huang Xiaohe from the Xishan High School in Kunming also loves stooping. Though the 12-year-old has few chances to go stooping in her city, Huang often looks for idle things around school. Then, she cleans and redesigns them, turning them into fun things at home. The cotton from a found toy bear dresses a cloud lamp, bottles become decorations (装饰) and old facial masks (面膜) are used to make clothes for her Barbie dolls. “I believe that any waste can be turned into treasures,” said Huang. She also added that stooping is an action to fight over-buying. 79．When did Chen Jiaorong start stooping? 80．What does stooping mean for Chen? 81．Does Huang Xiaohe have many chances to go stooping? 82．How does Huang Xiaohe turn idle things into treasures? 83．What will you do to turn waste into treasure? 怀化市八县九校联合调研2023-2024学年九年级上学期期末英语试题 A student stuck a note on his classmate’s back while they were in the classroom at noon one day. The note said “I’m Stupid”. He asked the rest of his classmates not to tell the boy. The other students started laughing at the boy, but wouldn’t say why. Soon, it was time for their afternoon math class. Their teacher wrote a difficult problem on the blackboard. No one was able to solve it except the boy with the note on his back. Ignoring the laughter, he walked toward the blackboard and solved the problem. The teacher asked the class to clap (鼓掌) for him and took the note off his back. She told him, “It seems that you didn’t know about the note your classmate put on your back, but you didn’t seem to care anyway.” Then the teacher looked at the rest of the class and said, “Before I punish you all, let me tell you two things. First, all of you will be labeled (贴标签) at one point or another by other people who don’t want you to succeed. All you have to do is ignore these labels. 4.You have to take every chance you learn, grow and improve.” “ 5.似乎你们中没有人是这个男孩的朋友。Because none of you were kind enough to tell him about the note.

Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar. 4. 在西方国家，人们通常在一月一日庆祝新年。People may go to parties, dress in formal clothes—like tuxedos and evening gowns, and drink champagne at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sun rise. They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise. It is also a common western custom to make a New Year’s promise, called a resolution. New Year’s resolutions usually include promises to try something new or change a bad habit in the new year. Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh. Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.

Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier. The first secret to happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasure, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several friends often live happier and healthier lives. Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. (5) 为别人做好事能让你感到快乐。 You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes. 1—3题回答问题；4—5题英汉互译。 104．Who is Aristotle? 105．What’s the first secret to happiness? 106．How many suggestions are given to help you be happier? 107．Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. 108．为别人做好事能让你感到快乐。 长沙市雅礼集团2023-2024学年九年级上学期期末考试英语试题 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题或将划线部分译成英文或中文。 The oil-paper umbrella has a history of over 1,000 years in China. There are different stories about the umbrella in China. The most popular one is related to Lu Ban. One day, Lu Ban and his younger sister visited the West Lake. It started raining suddenly. The sister said, “Let’s have a competition, before sunrise tomorrow, who comes up with a way to make it possible for people to visit the West Lake even on rainy days will be the winner.” Lu Ban thought it was easy. He collected some tools and materials and spent the whole night building 10 pavilions (凉亭) around the lake. The next morning, when Lu Ban talked about his achievements and felt proud, his sister held something unusual in her hand. It could be opened into a round shape. What is it? After a while, he found 4. the object which is made of silk and bamboo could be opened and closed easily. Lu Ban said “You win. It was light, beautiful and easy to carry. And it can also protect us from rain.” So the umbrella was invented. Later when paper was invented, people used much cheaper paper to replace silk, cutting the cost of umbrellas. To make the umbrella waterproof (防水的), people brushed tung oil across the surface. That was how the oil-paper umbrella was invented. With the passage of time, most people now use modern umbrellas in their daily lives, while oil-paper umbrellas have gone into decline. But in 1990, Dai Gensheng, a local of Jialu Village, founded the Jialu oil-paper umbrella factory in order to protect and pass on the traditional handicraft. So far, the oil-paper umbrellas produced by Dai's company have been exported to 28 countries. In 2020, Dai set up the Jialu oil-paper umbrella experience center for tourists to learn about the traditional techniques and to make oil-paper umbrellas themselves. “We receives nearly 600 tourists a day. And the center also attracts many foreign tourists. 5. 它给人们一个机会去了解中国文化.” said Dai. 109．How long has the oil-paper umbrella been invented? 110．How could people make the umbrella waterproof? 111．Why did Dai Gensheng found the Jialu oil-paper umbrella factory? 112．（英译中） 113．（中译英） 娄底市娄星区2023-2024学年九年级上学期期末英语试题 For thousands of years, people have told stories to pass on values and beliefs.

But have you ever thought of having a special place to study on the train? This will surely be a very unusual experience. The train No. 5609/5610, which runs between Chongqing and Xiushan, is a slow train. In some carriages (车厢), there are no hard seats (硬座) but some desks and chairs next to the windows. They became bright “study carriages” for passengers in need. Some other slow trains also have their own bright “study carriages”, including No. 5619/5620 and No. 5633/5634. Many students from nearby schools often take the trains between school and home at weekends. The trains are their “school buses” and many of them use the travel time to finish their homework. On the train No. Z150, which runs between Guiyang and Beijing, a “book bar” carriage has been welcomed by college students. There are nearly 400 universities and colleges in the cities along the rail line, making No. Z150 the first choice for most students. Since 2015, the train’s dining car has been open at night to provide students with a lending library and some tea. There students enjoy reading books and drinking tea for free. They even start discussions on some topics in groups. These small measures were made to provide a comfortable environment for learners to continue their studies. And they are well welcomed by many passengers. Many students say it’s meaningful to set up such carriages and they’d like to share them with their friends. 119．What do “study carriages” on the train No.5609/5610 look like? 120．Does only the train No.5609/5610 have “study carriages”? 121．Which train has a “book bar” carriage? 122．What can students do on the train No. Z150? 123．What do you think of setting up “study carriages”? 邵阳市2023-2024学年九年级上学期期末英语试题 任务型阅读。阅读下面的短文，按要求完成问题。 In recent years, robots are becoming more and more popular.

He said people changed because the public has seen things like voice-recognition technology, where you talk to a computer. He also said Google self-driving cars make people think about computer intelligence. What will robots be like in the future? All of us don’t know.

His friend Lisa told him that it was called “Little Library”. People built boxes and put books in them. Other people would take books to read and add books they had already read.

How do you put on a pair of glasses with only one leg? The answer is: wear them lying down. In his later years, Mao was in the habit of reading lying down. With his reduced vision (视力), he had to wear glasses. But no matter on which side he lay, one of his temples (太阳穴) was always be painfully pressed. So the optician’s (眼镜商店) owner came up with a simple but practical idea: remove one of the glasses’ legs. Had it not been for his love of books, there might not have been two pairs of one-legged glasses. Anyone who has been to Mao’s residence (住处) was shocked by the vast collection of books everywhere. There were books on the bed, dining table, coffee table, even in the hallways and bathrooms. The Fengze Garden in Zhongnanhai, where he used to live, was like a small library, with 36 shelves against the walls. During the war years, it was not easy to get a few books. With each transfer (转移) of troops (部队), Mao was willing to simplify belongings, except for books. He had a large bag specially made for carrying books. No matter how hard it was, he would always keep the bag. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Mao no longer had to hide and read with anyone. Whenever he went out, even if it was only for a day or two, he took some books with him. Although he suffered from eye diseases as an older man, he ignored his doctor’s advice and read secretly. When the medical staff took away his books, his tears came out, “For me, reading is resting. I just love reading books all my life…” 46．Are the old reading glasses of Mao Zedong very special or just normal? 47．How do you put on a pair of glasses with only one leg? 48．During the war years, what was his special bag made for? 49．What did Chairman Mao take with whenever he went out? 50．What’s your idea of reading books? 【答案】46．They’re special. 47．Wear them lying down. 48．It was made for carrying books./For carrying books. 49．Some books./He took some books with him. 50．I think reading books is very useful.

As time goes by, it becomes less and less, so what are we going to do when it runs out? Perhaps we will go back to use horses, carriages and bicycles. In the Second World War, some people didn’t use gas made from Petroleum (石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The cars didn’t go fast, but they ran, so this was better than nothing. However, in the future, we can’t cut down all our trees to make gas; we need our trees for other things, too. Besides different types of gas, we can also use electricity (电) to run our cars, but first we must make the electricity! Some countries have coal and they make electricity with that, but we might not always have coal, either. Other countries have big strong rivers, and they can use the power of water to turn turbines (涡轮机) and make electricity more easily and cheaply. We are also able to get electricity from the ocean tides (潮汐). We put turbines into the mouth of the river. Then the tide comes in; the water turns the turbines and then it goes out; it turns them again. Which of these ways will be used to run our cars in the future? 51．Is there enough oil in the world now? 52．When might people have to go back to use horses and bicycles? 53．What did some people use to make gas in the Second World War? 54．Why we can’t cut down all the trees to make gas in the future? 55．How many ways are suggested to make electricity in the passage? 【答案】51．No, there isn’t. 52．When they run out of oil. 53．They made gas from wood and plants. 54．Because we need our trees for other things, too. 55．Three/ 3. 【导语】本文讲了世界上没有足够的石油了，人们开始用天然气和电代替石油，作者主要介绍了三种发电方法。 51．根据“There is not enough oil in the world now.”可知，现在世界上没有足够的石油，故填No, there isn’t. 52．根据“As time goes by, it becomes less and less, so what are we going to do when it runs out? Perhaps we will go back to use horses, carriages and bicycles.”可知，当耗尽石油时，也许我们会重新使用马、马车和自行车，故填When they run out of oil. 53．根据“In the Second World War, some people didn’t use gas made from Petroleum (石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead.”可知，在第二次世界大战中，有些人用木材和植物制造天然气，故填They made gas from wood and plants. 54．根据“However, in the future, we can’t cut down all our trees to make gas; we need our trees for other things, too.”可知，在未来，我们不能砍掉我们所有的树来制造天然气，因为我们也需要我们的树来做其他事情，故填Because we need our trees for other things, too. 55．根据“Some countries have coal and they make electricity with that...Other countries have big strong rivers, and they can use the power of water to turn turbines (涡轮机) and make electricity more easily and cheaply.”以及“We are also able to get electricity from the ocean tides (潮汐).”可知，文中提出了3种发电方法，故填Three/ 3. 娄底市双峰县私校联考2023-2024学年九年级上学期期末英语试题 Like many other foreigners, Rosalind Oliver’s first touch of Chinese Tai Chi came from popular kung fu movies. However, she has become a Tai Chi master herself, teaching it to both Chinese and foreigners. Oliver’s journey with Tai Chi began in her early 20s, when her backache was always troubling her and she was turning to an exercise. Then she discovered advertisement classes about Tai Chi by accident and decided to try the “mysterious” eastern sport. Right away Oliver fell in love with the beautiful movement of Tai Chi.

In 2005, Oliver set up the Double Dragon Alliance Cultural Center, which acts as a bridge for foreign people to get a better understanding of Chinese culture such as traditional Chinese medicine and Peking Opera.

The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance of the world’s languages. Many of them are disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact. What happens when a language dies out? Something great is lost—not just sounds and marks but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. They keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Kill a language and all these are killed too. Through IMLD, more and more people gradually realize the terrible situation and try to stop it. Many upload (上传) texts, audios (音频) and videos on the website of Google’s 2018 Endangered Languages Project to spread ways of communication. Also, the Myaamia Project makes efforts to save the language of the Miami tribes ( ßi&) by encouraging people to study and communicate with it. These activities have one thing in common—they give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep languages alive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities. They “share the word” to save the world. So, while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling of our mother language. This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.” 60．When is the International Mother Language Day held every year? 61．How do people keep different cultures and traditions? 62．What do the activities like the Myaamia Project have in common? 63．Why should we remember the wise words of Nelson Mandela? 64．Do you want to celebrate the International Mother Language Day? Why or why not? 【答案】60．On February 21 (each year). 61．Through languages. 62．They give life to those endangered languages. 63．Because we all have a special feeling of our mother language. 64．Yes. Because it’s meaningful. 【导语】本文介绍了国际母语日的意义，以及人们为了拯救濒危语言做出的努力。 60．根据“On February 21 each year, UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) holds an International Mother Language Day (IMLD).”可知是每年的2月21日。故填On February 21 (each year). 61．根据“They keep different cultures and traditions through languages.”可知他们通过语言保持着不同的文化和传统。故填Through languages. 62．根据“These activities have one thing in common—they give life to those endangered languages.”可知这些活动赋予了那些濒临灭绝的语言生命。故填They give life to those endangered languages. 63．根据“We all have a special feeling of our mother language.

There is no way you can get on board without it. Don’t worry. In the near future, people will just need a digital (数字的) ID on their smartphones. On March 11, at a two sessions news conference (两会记者招待会), Premier Li Keqiang said that the government would introduce a digital version (版本) of the national ID cards this year. One aim is to better meet the basic living needs of more than 100 million people who live away from their home provinces. These people have to go to school or work at different places other than their homes. Sometimes to prove that “I am who I am”, they have to run back and forth across provinces to provide ID on the spot. It is a waste of time, money and manpower, noted The Paper. Digital ID cards can allow information to be accessed (获取) by a simple scan (扫描) with a smartphone, said Premier Li. The government would also provide convenience for people who do not use smartphones, especially the elderly. People’s information security and privacy would also be taken note of, said the Premier. In fact, China’s Ministry of Public Security started a pilot trial (初步试验) of digital IDs in 2018. It allowed people in cities including Quzhou, Hangzhou and Fuzhou to apply for digital national IDs on Alipay, reported China National Radio. The digital ID could be used to open bank accounts, check into hotels and buy high-speed railway tickets, among other things. China issued (颁发) its first ID card in 1984. The current ID card is the second-generation version, with an embedded chip (内嵌芯片) and digital encryption (加密). With 18 digits (数字), the ID number is made up of numbers standing for the holder’s birthplace, birth date and gender (性别). 70．When did Premier Li Keqiang tell us the news that China would introduce a digital version of the national ID cards? 71．For the people who live away from their home provinces, what should they do to prove that “They are who they are”? 72．Will the government provide convenience for people who do not use smartphones? 73．What do 18 digits on the ID card stand for? 74．What do you think of digital ID cards? 【答案】70．On March 11. 71．They should provide ID on the spot. 72．Yes. 73．They stand for the holder’s birthplace, birth date and gender. 74．They are convenient. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了政府将在今年的国民身份证中推出数字版本的相关情况。 70．根据第二段“On March 11, at a two sessions news conference (两会记者招待会), Premier Li Keqiang said that the government would introduce a digital version (版本) of the national ID cards this year.”可知，在3月11日，李克强总理告诉我们，中国将推出数字版国民身份证。故填On March 11. 71．根据第二段“These people have to go to school or work at different places other than their homes. Sometimes to prove that “I am who I am”, they have to run back and forth across provinces to provide ID on the spot.”可知，对于那些远离家乡的人来说，他们应该当场提供身份证证明是他们自己。故填They should provide ID on the spot. 72．根据第三段“The government would also provide convenience for people who do not use smartphones”可知，政府还将为不使用智能手机的人提供便利。故填Yes. 73．根据最后一段“With 18 digits (数字), the ID number is made up of numbers standing for the holder’s birthplace, birth date and gender (性别).”可知，身份证上的18位数字代表持有人出生地、出生日期和性别。故填They stand for the holder’s birthplace, birth date and gender. 74．本题答案不唯一。根据“The digital ID could be used to open bank accounts, check into hotels and buy high-speed railway tickets, among other things.”可知，数字身份证可以用于开立银行账户、入住酒店和购买高铁票等。由此可知，数字身份证很方便，故填They are convenient. 株洲市渌口区2023-2024学年九年级上学期期末考试英语试题 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 A long time ago in a rich and beautiful country, there lived an unhappy king.

Many things that people buy to follow the fashion end up in the rubbish bin. Now, young Chinese people are giving these things a second life. Nowadays, we can see many “stoopers” in big cities like Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. They pick up idle (闲散的) things and reuse them. Chen Jiaorong, 27, is one of them. She has been stooping since June 2022. At that time she found that many people were letting go of things hardly used after the COVID lockdown (封闭管控) in Shanghai. After that, she often “hunted treasures (寻宝)” in her free time. Now, her small apartment holds things redesigned (重新设计) from the idle things she collected, including tables, chairs and clothing. “Some say stooping means collecting rubbish,” Chen said. “But for me, it is about making the best use of things.” That’s why she wanted to share the trend with others. Sometimes Chen also puts eyeball-shaped stickers (小贴纸) on idle things that she doesn’t need and posts pictures of them on social media (社交媒体) for others to find. With a hobby of keeping things since childhood, Huang Xiaohe from the Xishan High School in Kunming also loves stooping. Though the 12-year-old has few chances to go stooping in her city, Huang often looks for idle things around school. Then, she cleans and redesigns them, turning them into fun things at home. The cotton from a found toy bear dresses a cloud lamp, bottles become decorations (装饰) and old facial masks (面膜) are used to make clothes for her Barbie dolls. “I believe that any waste can be turned into treasures,” said Huang. She also added that stooping is an action to fight over-buying. 79．When did Chen Jiaorong start stooping? 80．What does stooping mean for Chen? 81．Does Huang Xiaohe have many chances to go stooping? 82．How does Huang Xiaohe turn idle things into treasures? 83．What will you do to turn waste into treasure? 【答案】79．In June 2022. 80．It means making the best use of things. 81．No, she doesn’t. 82．She cleans and redesigns them, turning them into fun things. 83．I will redesign the idle things and turn them into fun things./I will turn the bottle of coke into a flower vase. 【导语】本文主要介绍了陈娇蓉和黄晓鹤如何把废弃物品捡回来循环利用的故事。 79．根据“She has been stooping since June 2022.”可知，陈娇蓉在从2022年6月开始把废弃物品捡回来循环使用。故填In June 2022。 80．根据“But for me, it is about making the best use of things.”可知，对于陈娇蓉来说这意味着“充分利用物品”。故填It means making the best use of things。 81．根据“Though the 12-year-old has few chances to go stooping in her city”可知，12岁的黄晓鹤基本没有有机会去捡废弃物品回来循环使用。故填No, she doesn’t. 82．根据“Then, she cleans and redesigns them, turning them into fun things at home. ”可知，她把校园里的闲散物品清洁干净，重新设计，把它们变成家里有趣的物品。故填She cleans and redesigns them, turning them into fun things。 83．答案不唯一，言之有理即可。故填I will redesign the idle things and turn them into fun things./ I will turn the bottle of coke into a flower vase. 怀化市八县九校联合调研2023-2024学年九年级上学期期末英语试题 A student stuck a note on his classmate’s back while they were in the classroom at noon one day.

Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar. 4. 在西方国家，人们通常在一月一日庆祝新年。People may go to parties, dress in formal clothes—like tuxedos and evening gowns, and drink champagne at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sun rise. They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise. It is also a common western custom to make a New Year’s promise, called a resolution. New Year’s resolutions usually include promises to try something new or change a bad habit in the new year. Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh. Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year. Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. A widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. 5. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck—but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them! 89．When do people in western countries usually celebrate New Year? 90．What do New Year’s resolutions usually include? 91．How many black-eyed do the people in the USA have to eat to get good luck for a whole year? 92．请将文中画线的句子翻译成英语。 93．请将文中画线的句子翻译成汉语。 【答案】89．At midnight on January 1st. 90．Promises to try something new or change a bad habit in the new year. 91．365. 92．In western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on January 1st. 93．一个人吃的葡萄越多，他的好运就越多。 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国传统节日——新年。 89．根据“在西方国家，人们通常在一月一日庆祝新年。”和“During the first minutes”可知，西方国家在一月一日午夜庆祝新年。故答案为At midnight on January 1st. 90．根据“New Year’s resolutions usually include promises to try something new or change a bad habit in the new year.”可知，新年决心通常包括承诺在新的一年里尝试一些新的东西或改变一个坏习惯。故答案为Promises to try something new or change a bad habit in the new year. 91．根据“In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck—but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!”在美国，有些人吃黑眼豌豆是为了好运，但要想一整年都好运，你必须吃365颗！故答案为365. 92．In western countries“在西方国家”为介词短语作状语；people“人们”作主语；usually“通常”为副词，修饰谓语动词celebrate“庆祝”；New Year“新年”作宾语；on January 1st“在一月一日”为介词短语作时间状语。故答案为In western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on January 1st. 93．本文为the more..., the more...句型，意为“越……越……”。grapes“葡萄”；a person“一个人”，此处表示泛指用不定冠词a；eat“吃”，a person作主语，谓语动词要用单三形式；good luck“好运”；the person“那个人”，此处特指上文出现的人，要用定冠词the；will have“将有”，发生在未来一年的事情，要用一般将来时；in the year“在接下来的一年内”，为介词短语作时间状语。故答案为：一个人吃的葡萄越多，那个人的好运就越多。 衡阳市耒阳市广湘初级中学2023-2024学年九年级上学期期末英语试题 任务型阅读 [1]During the May Day holiday this year, Zha Liguo livestreamed (视频直播) five sunrises (日出) and sunsets over Huangshan Mountain in Anhui.

Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier. The first secret to happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasure, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several friends often live happier and healthier lives. Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others.

The sister said, “Let’s have a competition, before sunrise tomorrow, who comes up with a way to make it possible for people to visit the West Lake even on rainy days will be the winner.” Lu Ban thought it was easy.

The next morning, when Lu Ban talked about his achievements and felt proud, his sister held something unusual in her hand. It could be opened into a round shape. What is it? After a while, he found 4. the object which is made of silk and bamboo could be opened and closed easily. Lu Ban said “You win. It was light, beautiful and easy to carry. And it can also protect us from rain.” So the umbrella was invented. Later when paper was invented, people used much cheaper paper to replace silk, cutting the cost of umbrellas. To make the umbrella waterproof (防水的), people brushed tung oil across the surface. That was how the oil-paper umbrella was invented. With the passage of time, most people now use modern umbrellas in their daily lives, while oil-paper umbrellas have gone into decline. But in 1990, Dai Gensheng, a local of Jialu Village, founded the Jialu oil-paper umbrella factory in order to protect and pass on the traditional handicraft. So far, the oil-paper umbrellas produced by Dai's company have been exported to 28 countries.

But have you ever thought of having a special place to study on the train? This will surely be a very unusual experience. The train No. 5609/5610, which runs between Chongqing and Xiushan, is a slow train. In some carriages (车厢), there are no hard seats (硬座) but some desks and chairs next to the windows. They became bright “study carriages” for passengers in need. Some other slow trains also have their own bright “study carriages”, including No. 5619/5620 and No. 5633/5634. Many students from nearby schools often take the trains between school and home at weekends. The trains are their “school buses” and many of them use the travel time to finish their homework. On the train No. Z150, which runs between Guiyang and Beijing, a “book bar” carriage has been welcomed by college students. There are nearly 400 universities and colleges in the cities along the rail line, making No. Z150 the first choice for most students. Since 2015, the train’s dining car has been open at night to provide students with a lending library and some tea. There students enjoy reading books and drinking tea for free. They even start discussions on some topics in groups. These small measures were made to provide a comfortable environment for learners to continue their studies. And they are well welcomed by many passengers.

Robots have many different shapes. Some look like humans, and others look like animals. They can do lots of things, such as helping with the housework, building cars and so on. They will even do more things in the future. A scientist thinks robots will be more intelligent than humans by 2029. His name is Ray Kurzweil. He works for Google in the USA．He is a leading expert on artificial intelligence (AI). Mr. Kurzweil says computers will learn from experiences, just like us. (A) 他还说他们将会讲笑话和故事。His 2029 prediction is a lot sooner than many people thought. In 1999, many experts said it would take hundreds of years for computers to be very intelligent. Now it won’t be long before computer intelligence is one billion times more powerful than the human brain. Mr. Kurzweil joked that many years ago, people thought he was a little crazy. ( B) His thinking has stayed the same but everyone else has changed their thinking. He said his thoughts were not crazy any more. He said the rest of the world was changing its thought. He pointed to examples of high-tech things we use, see or read about every day. These make us think computers are intelligent. He said people changed because the public has seen things like voice-recognition technology, where you talk to a computer. He also said Google self-driving cars make people think about computer intelligence. What will robots be like in the future? All of us don’t know.
