With International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers: Should museums be free or should people have to pay for a ticket? Let us know your view. Comments: Museums are not only there for enjoyment; they are education. This is why they must be free. While museums need a huge amount of money to operate, let the wealthy pay for it. The idea of a person or child interested in art not being able to view it because of cost is wrong. Krista Chen (US)— Age 15 Free entry does not attract people or encourage them to appreciate art. Generally, people respect things that are difficult or costly to get. Museums should require regular visitors to pay a fee, but provide free tickets as prizes for high-achieving students who can appreciate them more. Fred Smith (New Zealand)— Age 14 Museums teach people about their past. This is part of our shared culture that should be available to everyone, rich or poor. People should never be asked to pay an entrance fee. Rob Sanchez (Australia)—Age 17 There are no simple answers. Low ticket prices could help museums stay open. But companies and businessmen should also provide museums with more money and other support. They have a social responsibility too. Amber White (UK)—Age 16 I think museums and art galleries should all be free to the public. I do, however, think twice a year the museums should organize money-raising events to help pay for the cost of staying open. Li Mishao (China)—Age 15 1. How many readers support the idea of free museums? A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5. 2. Who suggests museums should regularly hold special events to collect money? A. Krista Chen. B. Fred Smith. C. Rob Sanchez. D. Li Mishao. 3. Why does Fred Smith believe that free tickets should be given to high-achieving students? A. Students will then study harder. B. Museums win attract more visitors. C. Museums can make themselves more famous. D. These students can better appreciate museums. 4. What can we know about the website? A. It’s quite a new website. B. It’s generally for young readers. C. It was started in Australia. D. It mainly discusses scientific topics. B They say that “travel is the best teacher” and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587 — 1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country’s land and geography. Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu’s father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required. But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son’s love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work. So at the age of twenty and with his mother’s support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake. Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, robbed and beaten during his journeys. Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the Southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world. 5. What is the passage mainly about? A. The general details of Xu Xiake’s life story. B. The difficulties Xu Xiake faced in his travels. C. The important discoveries made by Xu Xiake. D. The influence of Xu’s book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake. 6. Which of the following best describes Xu’s mother? A. Strict but interesting. B. Kind but uneducated. C. Helpful and hardworking. D. Supportive and open-minded. 7. What is true about Xu’s book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake? A. It was only made public after Xu died. B. It made Xu very famous during his lifetime. C. It was the first travel book ever written in China. D. It was mainly about the different people of China. 8. What is the correct order for the following events from Xu’s life? a. He went on his first journey. b. His book was finally printed. c. He returned to his hometown for the last time. d. He developed an interest in books about other places. e. He started managing the family farm after his father died. A. a﹣e﹣d﹣c﹣b B. d﹣e﹣a﹣c﹣b C. d﹣e﹣a﹣b﹣c D. e﹣d﹣a﹣b﹣c C While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some students at White Cloud Primary School. They became the world’s first kids to be taught by an electronic teacher. This electronic teacher is not a human-like robot walking around the classroom. Instead, he is a computer-created head that appears, when needed, on students’ computer or phone screens. His name is Bill. Created by technology company Smart Machines. Bill is able to show human-like behavior. He is designed to teach a special program about environmental-friendly power created by the sun and wind. This program, started in 2005, used to be taught by human teachers. Just like human teachers, Bill is able to immediately respond to the student’s questions and opinions about the topic. Thanks to computer cameras, he is also able to see and react to students’ exchange helps get the students attention. More importantly, it allows the program developers to improve Bill’s behavior and knowledge base when needed. The program has been a great success, according to Smart Machines spokesman Robert Frost. Frost says, “What is interesting to me is the children’s reaction to Bill. He really captures their attention.” Frost thinks kids don’t find the experience of being taught by smart machines as strange as older people because they have grown up in a time of computers and smart phones. It is doubtful, however, that human educators will lose their jobs to Bill any time soon. For one, this talking head’s knowledge base is not large. More importantly, even the smartest computer programs can’t guess and react to all the unexpected situations that educators face daily. Bill’s future might be as a “personal tutor”, providing kids with one-on-one help for different subjects and topics. 9. How does the two-way exchange help the program developers? A. It lets them correct students’ mistakes. B. It allows Bill to respond more quickly. C. It helps them know how to improve Bill. D. It helps them study students’ body language. 10. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________. A. kids B. older people C. smart machines D. program developers 11. What is Bill NOT good at doing? A. Attracting students’ attention. B. Understanding body language C. Responding to students questions. D. Dealing with unexpected situations. 12. How might Bill be used in the future according to the last paragraph? A. To work as human classroom teachers. B. To encourage students’ interest in computers C. To give students personal help with different subjects. D. To watch over the behavior of the students in the classroom. D Cai Lun invented paper around 2,000 years ago in China. It is an important invention. Before the invention of paper, people had to remember lots of information or write it on stone, wood, leaves, etc. Today everyone in the world uses paper.

Have you ever thought about why that is so? In the A, B, C, D and F grading system, the first four letters are typically considered passing grades. An F in this system simply stands for “fail”. The word “fail” happens to start with the letter F, which seems to leave out the letter E. The fact of the matter is that any letter can mean “not-passing” or “fail”. Some schools have U grade for “unsatisfactory”, or I grade for “incomplete”. Even with all this said we should also point out that E grade actually has been used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US. The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College. In 1897, they began to use the following grading scale: A: 95~100% (excellent) B: 85~94% (good) C: 76~84% (fair) D: 75% (barely passed) E: below 75% (failed) We can see the inclusion of E instead of F. Gradually the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US. However, many schools decided to drop the E grade and go straight to F. There is no evidence (证据) to really support this, but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”. Why do we have letter grades? Well, part of the reason is that they made grading simpler during a time of great change for schools. As the 20th century began, growing cities and an increase in immigration led to larger school classrooms. Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students. Today, more and more people argue that letter grades don’t fully reflect (反映) students’ learning. However, as teachers try to improve grading methods, many parents continue to favor the letter grades they got as kids. They are familiar (熟悉) and easy for parents to understand. So while they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon. 41. What does an F stand for in the A B, C, D and F grading system? _____________________________ 42. What is one possible explanation for dropping the E grade? _____________________________ 43. What did most teachers think of the letter grading system in the 20th century? _____________________________ 44. Which letter do you want in the A, B, C, D and F grading system? How can you get it? Write 30 words or more. _____________________________ 五、书面表达（满分20分） 45. 辽宁某电台英文频道将开设Welcome to Liaoning栏目，目前面向全市中学生征集“大美辽宁”英文介绍，请你写一篇英语短文，向栏目投稿。 注意：1. 词数：80~100词左右（短文的开头与结尾已给出，不计入总词数）； 2. 在文中不要出现考生和相关人物的真实校名和姓名，否则不予评分。 Anyone coming to Liaoning is sure to have a good time. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Liaoning is waiting for you. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度（上）期末教学质量检测 九年级英语试卷 2025.1 （本试卷共45道题 满分90分 考试时间90分钟） 考生注意：所有试题必须在答题卡指定区域内作答，在本试卷上作答无效 第一部分 选择题（共50分） 一、阅读理解 （共20小题，每小题2分；满分40分） 第一节 阅读下面语言材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Should Museum Entry Be Free?

Have you ever thought about why that is so? In the A, B, C, D and F grading system, the first four letters are typically considered passing grades. An F in this system simply stands for “fail”. The word “fail” happens to start with the letter F, which seems to leave out the letter E. The fact of the matter is that any letter can mean “not-passing” or “fail”. Some schools have U grade for “unsatisfactory”, or I grade for “incomplete”. Even with all this said, we should also point out that E grade actually has been used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US. The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College. In 1897, they began to use the following grading scale: A: 95~100% (excellent) B: 85~94% (good) C: 76~84% (fair) D: 75% (barely passed) E: below 75% (failed) We can see the inclusion of E instead of F. Gradually, the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US. However, many schools decided to drop the E grade and go straight to F. There is no evidence (证据) to really support this, but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”. Why do we have letter grades? Well, part of the reason is that they made grading simpler during a time of great change for schools. As the 20th century began, growing cities and an increase in immigration led to larger school classrooms. Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students. Today, more and more people argue that letter grades don’t fully reflect (反映) students’ learning. However, as teachers try to improve grading methods, many parents continue to favor the letter grades they got as kids. They are familiar (熟悉) and easy for parents to understand. So while they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon. 41. What does an F stand for in the A, B, C, D and F grading system? _____________________________ 42. What is one possible explanation for dropping the E grade? _____________________________ 43. What did most teachers think of the letter grading system in the 20th century? _____________________________ 44. Which letter do you want in the A, B, C, D and F grading system? How can you get it? Write 30 words or more. _____________________________ 【答案】41. It stands for “fail”. 42. Teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”. 43. They thought it was an easy, fair, and clear way to grade students. 44. I want an A because it represents excellence. To get it I will study hard, complete homework on time, and participate actively in class. Consistency and focus are key to achieving top grades. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了字母评分系统中为何没有E等级的历史原因、E等级的使用情况以及字母评分系统存在的意义与现状。 【41题详解】 根据“An F in this system simply stands for ‘fail’.”可知，F代表“fail”，即“不及格”。故填It stands for “fail”. 【42题详解】 根据“....but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for ‘excellent’.”可知，许多学校决定放弃E等级的一种可能的解释是，老师们担心一些学生和家长会把E等级误认为“优秀”。故填Teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”. 【43题详解】 根据“As the 20th century began...Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students.”可知，当时的大多数教师认为，这种新的字母评分系统是一种简单、公平且清晰的学生评分方式。故填They thought it was an easy, fair, and clear way to grade students. 【44题详解】 开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案I want an A because it represents excellence. To get it, I will study hard, complete homework on time, and participate actively in class. Consistency and focus are key to achieving top grades. 五、书面表达（满分20分） 45. 辽宁某电台英文频道将开设Welcome to Liaoning栏目，目前面向全市中学生征集“大美辽宁”英文介绍，请你写一篇英语短文，向栏目投稿。 注意：1. 词数：80~100词左右（短文的开头与结尾已给出，不计入总词数）； 2. 在文中不要出现考生和相关人物的真实校名和姓名，否则不予评分。 Anyone coming to Liaoning is sure to have a good time. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Liaoning is waiting for you. 【答案】例文 Anyone coming to Liaoning is sure to have a good time.
