First, a map is useless, unless it tells you which direction is north. An arrow(←,↑,→,↓) pointing up(north) is usually in the top right corner of the map (seeⒶ). Every map should also have a scale (比例尺). A scale tells you what a distance on the map stands for in the real world. For example, this scale (seeⒷ) shows that 1 centimeter(cm) on the map stands for 1,000 centimeters, or 10 meters, in the real world. A map should also have a key that explains signs used on the map (see C). For example, a school is often shown by a square with a flag on top. The sign for a hospital is usually an H in a blue square. Green trees are used to show a park or a large area of land covered with trees. 16. What is the most important thing that a map must show you? A. Centimeters. B. A flag. C. South. D. North. 17. What does a map scale tell you about? A. Arrows. B. Distance. C. Places. D. Roads. 18. What sign may be used to show a forest? A. An open book. B. Green trees. C. A square with a flag on top. D. A capital H in a blue square.

Sometimes our minds and our eyes make mistakes and get confused (困惑的). This may be because we are looking at an optical illusion. Here optical means “related to sight”—the way we see things. An illusion is something that looks different from the way it really is. In short, an optical illusion is a trick that our eyes play on us. Look at these optical illusions and compare what you see with what your classmates see. The way we see things is often personal, so not everyone will see things the same way. 1. Are the lines straight? At a first look, most people say “No”. But if you compare the lines against object with a ruler, you’ll see otherwise. The small circles in the square help create the illusion. 2. Is it white? Square 1 is clearly gray. But what about Square 2? Is it white? Is it light gray? You may not believe it, but Squares 1 and 2 are exactly the same color. Your eyes see the colors. but your brain notices the shadow (阴影) made by the apple. It therefore decides that the square in the shadow is a lighter color than it really is. 3. Are the circles moving? If you look closely at this picture, the circles may appear to move. Of course, this is impossible. How can a picture move? When we see circle-in-circle shapes, like in car wheels, they are usually moving. Our brains are used to seeing these shapes move. When our eyes see this shape, our mind decides that the image is moving. Other scientists believe the illusion of movement is caused by the movements of our eyes as we look at the different colors and patterns of the picture. 22. What is the main purpose of the reading? A. To describe how human eyes work. B. to give examples of everyday optical illusions. C. to tell us there are optical illusions in our daily life. D. to explain what optical illusions are and give some examples. 23. What causes optical illusion 1? A. The size of the squares. B. The color of the lines. C. The circles inside the squares. D. The lines against object with a straight line. 24. What causes optical illusion 2? A The shadow in the image. B. The color of the apple. C. The position of the square. D. The number of squares in the picture. 25. Which of these is an optical illusion? A. Thinking of a picture in your mind. B. Hearing a voice in your head that isn’t there. C. Seeing water on a road when it’s not really there. D. Looking up at a strange cloud and noticing its shape. Recently, two cute cats have won many hearts on the Internet. One of them holds a strong gaze (注视), as if thinking about life’s deepest questions carefully, ____26____. According to their owners, the cat on the left, Bo Zai, was watching two other cats fighting, while Guang Dang, the cat on the right, was requesting snacks from her owner. In fact, these two cute cats have never met in real life. So, ____27____, why have Bo Zai and Guang Dang become the focus of public attention? In videos shared online, Bo Zai asks and Guang Dang answers in a funny way. The two cats are sometimes mother and daughter, sometimes teacher and student, and sometimes a couple. In this way, ____28____. Some college students, in particular, express their anxiety (焦虑) by making such cat dialogue videos to recreate situations where they feel pressured. Soon, they find comfort in the comments (评论) on the videos, ____29____. This shows the power of the Internet in creating shared emotional experiences. These cats have become more than just cute animals; they’re a source of connection and catharsis (宣泄) in our digital age. It’s clear that the popularity of these cats reflects our need for emotional release. Perhaps in the future, ___30___, continuing to spread warmth and comfort in the online world. A. people share their little things in life B. while the other appears worried and confused C. among all the famous cute cats on the Internet D. more such heartwarming animal stories will appear E. as many others say they are going through the same thing F. people can express their true feelings that they can’t express in real life 第Ⅱ卷（共50分） Ⅳ.词汇运用（本题10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 阅读下面短文，根据上下文、音标、汉语和所给提示，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内词语的适当形式。 Life is really like a book. Imagine you’re reading a book and you reach ____31____ last page. What do you do? You turn the page, right? Well, life works in a similar way. Sometimes, we reach a point where things aren’t going well, like a bad chapter in a book. But instead ____32____ giving up, we can turn the page and start a new chapter. It’s not always easy, though. Life throws ____33____ (难题) at us, much like a test at school. We should be ready for them and learn from them. If we make a mistake, like choosing the wrong path, we have to ____34____ (accept/refuse) it and move forward. We can’t do it ____35____ (/ə’ləʊn/). We need the help of friends and family, just like classmates and teachers helping each other. They can offer us advice and support, like a friend who listens to us and gives us a hug. We also need to be brave and try new things, like picking up a new sport ____36____ learning a new skill. At times, we might fail, like losing a game, but that’s okay. We can learn from our mistakes and try ____37____ (再一次). And most importantly, we need to let go of the past, like throwing away old clothes that no longer fit. ____38____ (hold) onto bad memories and feelings only makes us down. We need to forgive (原谅) ourselves and others, just as we would forgive a friend for his mistake. So, when you reach a point where things are tough, remember that you can always turn the page and start a ____39____ chapter. Be ready for the challenge, ask for help, try new things, and let go of the past. Believe in ____40____. You can do it! V.阅读表达（本题12小题，共20分） In small towns, people are used to saying hello to their neighbors in stores, on the streets and in front of their homes. In today’s city life, people may feel uncomfortable talking to neighbors they do not know well in line at the supermarket. But greeting your neighbors is actually good for you, especially if you say hello to six people, according to a recent survey. Saying hello to people increases well-being (幸福感), but six is the magic number. The well-being score increases from zero to six and then there are no further increases. These results are part of the Gallup National Health and Well-Being Index which studies overall well-being and is calculated (计算) on a scale of 0 to 100. The survey was carried out from May 30th to June 6th, 2023 and was based on the answers from 4,556 Americans. It covered social well-being, physical well-being, community well-being and more. People who said they didn’t say hello to anyone in their neighborhood scored 51.5. People who greeted six neighbors had a score of 64.1. You might think that saying hello to neighbors is only about social well-being, but that actually isn’t the case. In fact, regular greetings also improve a person’s physical well-being and community well-being. ________You will be more likely to speak to people if you think your community is safe. Your physical well-being can improve if you are getting out and walking around your neighborhood. “We don’t require that you know the person well; just stop and talk to him,” said Dan Witters, the survey’s director. “But the more people to whom you say hello, the greater the probability is that you’re actually going to start a conversation with them.” While this is just a survey for now, saying hello regularly is a good way to improve your own well-being. 1-4小题，根据短文内容，完成思维导图。（每空不超过两个词） Topic: The connection between saying hello to neighbors and well-being. 1 : From May 30th to June 6th, 2023. Object (研究对象): 2 Result: People who regularly say hello to their neighbors have 3 (higher/lower) well-being than those who don’t. People should be 4 to greet their neighbors. 41. ________ 42. ________ 43. ________ 44. ________ 45. Which sentence can be put in ________? A. That’s because all of these are connected. B. It’s best to greet your neighbors in the morning. C. You can even make friends by greeting neighbors. D. Different neighbors can greet you in different ways. 46. 用英语回答问题: How can we improve our own well-being? ___________________________________________________________ Walk like a penguin Walk like a penguin. Sounds funny, right? But think about it Penguins are experts at walking on snow and ice. Maybe we could learn something from them. Slips and falls happen when we try to walk on slippery surfaces, and the way we typically walk with one leg in front of us and one leg behind us is naturally unstable (不稳的). Our weight pushes our feet outward along the surface of the ice. By keeping our center of gravity (重心) directly above one foot, we use our own weight to pin (固定) down our foot, preventing slips and falls. Keeping our arms out ________ improves our balance, but it also means we can catch ourselves if we do fall—just like a penguin. Let’s have a try. 1. Walk in a flat-footed manner. 2. Wear footwear that provides traction (抓地力). 3. Point the feet out slightly. 4. Walk slowly. 5. Use your arms for balance. 6. Carry only what you can. But what should you do if you have taken all the safety tips and you still feel yourself start to fall? Try to tuck your chin (收下巴) so that your back, not your head, will hit the ground first. Also try to twist or roll on your side to help spread the impact (冲击力) of the fall, which can reduce the chances of injury. Plan ahead! Pay attention and slow down for a safe winter season! 47. 选择：Which is “Point the feet out slightly.”? A. B. C. D. 48. 填空：在________处填上短语。 49. 从文中找出与所给句子意思相近的句子。 Our weight causes our feet to push outward along the surface of the ice. _________________________ 50. 英译汉：Pay attention and slow down for a safe winter season! _________________________ 用英语回答问题： 51. Why should we extend our arms when walking on slippery ice? _________________________ 52 Do you want to try the way a penguin walks on slippery surfaces? Why or why not? _________________________ Ⅵ.书面表达（共20分） 53. 根据连环画创编小故事。 要求：30词左右。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2024-2025学年度第一学期期末学业水平质量检测 九年级 英语 试题 （考试时间：100分钟；满分：90分） 所有题目均在答题卡上作答，在试题上作答无效。 第Ⅰ卷（共40分） Ⅰ.单项选择（本题5小题，每小题1分，共5分） 从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 【1题答案】 【答案】B 【2题答案】 【答案】C 【3题答案】 【答案】D 【4题答案】 【答案】A 【5题答案】 【答案】B Ⅱ.完形填空（本题10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 【6~15题答案】 【答案】6.
