It ____11____ during the first week of the term. On that day, every child was given a (an) ____12____ for which they would be responsible (负责任的) for the rest of that school year. Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children looked forward to getting one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher would ____13____ which children had been the most responsible during the last year. Rita was a kind and quiet girl, and during the last year Rita had ____14____ the teacher’s instructions perfectly. So all the children knew she was the perfect ____15____ to be given the best job of all. But this term there was a big surprise. Each child received one of the ____16____ jobs, like preparing the books, telling the time, or cleaning the blackboard. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box with some sand and one ant. And even though the teacher ____17____ that this ant was a very special ant, Rita could not help feeling down. “Why was I given such an unimportant task?” Rita said to her teacher ____18____. “If you can take good care of the ant, maybe you will get a secret reward,” the teacher explained.

Then Rita started studying everything about her little ant’s living space and behavior carefully. She ____21____ the little box to make it perfect for the ant. Rita gave the ant the best food, and it ended up growing quite a bit bigger than ____22____ had expected. One day a man came into the classroom and said, “Congratulations! Your class has been chosen to a journey to the rainforest, where we will study all kinds of insects. Just ____23____ your class has best cared for the little ant given to you.” That day the class was filled with ____24____ and celebration. Without doubt, Rita was most pleased with this.

B Interview with Cartoonist Adrienne Hedger During the past few years, cartoonist (漫画家) Adrienne Hedger has provided the world with her humor. We caught up with her for an interview. And here are some highlights from it. About cartooning Drawing cartoons had been a hobby forever. I’d make cards for friends and family with my drawings. But mostly writing was my job until one of my friends who worked for the American Girl magazine wanted me to do drawings. I did the art and that was the first time that I had ever seen my drawings in a book. It’s really fun. I record all my ideas and the things I see in my own life. I see everything in comics. The very first time I saw my husband, my thought was, “I know exactly how I would draw that guy because he had this really square face.” I prefer to see everything as a cartoon. About her favorite cartoon It’s really about my family. Early on, Claire dropped a roll of toilet paper into the toilet. It was a clean toilet, and we had to get the paper out and dry it off. I did a cartoon about that and that one was funny. We could not believe what happened. I really enjoy making a cartoon about a personal family moment. ________ I have a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old, both girls. They often are fine. But the one thing that they do not like is how I draw their clothing. Clearly, it’s not attractive. I just draw T-shirts with long sleeves (袖子) and long trousers. And there are a lot of complaints about that. I created one cartoon recently where my younger daughter Claire wrote a sentence for homework and then fell off the chair. She was very tired. And there’s another one where she holds onto my leg and wants me to take her into the kitchen to get a snack. Those are really my favorite ones for some reason. My older daughter Kate doesn’t pay that much attention. I spend my whole life watching them and cartooning about them. And the older they get, the less they care. Kate said, “If I see you drawing anyone rolling their eyes (翻白眼), I know it’s a cartoon about me.” 31. According to the article, Adrienne Hedger was a (n) ________ before becoming a cartoonist. A. interviewer B. housewife C. writer D. publisher 32. Claire and Kate complain much about their mother’s drawings because ________. A. they are too busy to finish their homework B. they are tired of being the models for her creations C. they are not satisfied with their clothing in her cartoons D. they are not willing to pay much attention to her cartoons 33. What’s Kate’s attitude (态度) towards her mother’s cartoons? A. She finds them really interesting. B. She doesn’t care a lot about them. C. She actively offers suggestions about them. D. She doesn’t like them and never watches them. 34. Which of the following would be the best subtitle (小标题) in ________ ? A. About getting along with her daughters B. About drawing cartoons of her daughters C. About watching cartoons with her daughters D. About getting her daughters to enjoy cartoons 35. What can be inferred (推断) about how Adrienne Hedger feels about drawing cartoons? A. She enjoys making cartoons, especially family ones. B. She was unwilling to draw cartoons at the very first. C. She is proud of her cartoons and believes they are perfect. D. She likes drawing cartoons on family members, especially her husband. C We decided not to tell the kids. Marla knew that once our three daughters understood that their mother had been given 1000 days to live, they’d start counting. They would not be able to enjoy school, friends, their teams, or birthday parties. They’d be watching too closely how she looked, moved, acted, ate, or didn’t. Marla wanted her daughters to stay children: happy, relaxed, and confident that tomorrow would look like yesterday. In 2009, Marla’s doctor called to tell her that she had early-stage cancer. After several medical operations, she needed eight rounds of chemotherapy (化疗) to clear the cancer found in her body. Our kids were 8, 9, and 11 at the time, and they understood that their mother was under treatment, but we never told them the news we soon learned from hospital: Marla had the most serious cancer cell, and she had little chance to stay alive. Her doctor directly told her, “Go to live your next 1,000 days in the best way you know how.” Though she was badly ill, Marla went on running long distances, for her own mental (心理的) fitness, and more importantly, so her kids would see her strong. I knew these miles were a wonder. Marla survived a little more than 3,500 days instead of 1,000. In her lifetime, she celebrated 25 anniversaries (周年纪念日), 57 children’s birthdays, three college acceptances, and two high-school graduations. But the next numbers make me sad: Zero college graduations. Zero weddings. Zero grandchildren. Marla said to me at the hospital, “No glory (辉煌的) days for us. We almost had the kids out of the house, and now you’re alone. I’m so sorry.” I replied, “Sorry about what? You lived life to the fullest and made life worth living. I admired your power and courage. You already outran science. Thank you for taking me on your magic journey. Rest easy, my one and only girlfriend.” 36. If the children were told about Marla’s illness, they would ________. A. remain active B. study harder C. stay out with friends D. live with worries 37. How did Marla face her illness? A. She continued sports activities. B. She accepted it angrily. C. She avoided social life. D. She refused medical treatment. 38. What do the numbers show in Paragraph 5? A. Their valuable memories. B. Seriousness of her illness. C. A mixed feeling of joy and sadness. D. Importance of family celebrations. 39. What does the underlined word “outran” mean in the last paragraph? A. 相信 B. 依赖 C. 超过 D. 证实 40. What does Marla’s story tell us? A. Life is not roses. B. The fullest life matters most. C. Love can beat illness. D. Happiness takes long time. D ①Do you like blueberries? If so, the next time you’re about to eat these delicious berries, take a good look at them. ________ ②For the most part, blueberries aren’t blue. If you carefully take off the skin of one blueberry, you’ll see that the fruit inside is white. If you rub (摩擦) the inside of the skin on a white piece of paper, you’ll see a reddish-purple color. And if you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, the blue color disappears and the berry looks almost black. But the moment you pick one, it does look blue. What’s going on? ________ ③Well, there are two ways to create colors. The first is through pigments (色素). Pigments show the color of the light they don’t take in. The most common pigment in plants is chlorophyll (叶绿素), a green pigment. Plant leaves appear green because chlorophyll doesn’t take in green light. It sends it out instead while taking in blue and red light. Plants prefer to take in blue light because it has more energy than any other light. In fact, there aren’t any “true blue” pigments in the plant world. ________ ④The second way to make color is through “structural color (结构光)”. This happens when the surface makes some colors of light look different. Have you ever seen the rainbow colors on a CD? These colors show up because of the tiny spaces between the CD’s thin layers (层). These spaces only allow certain colors to reach our eyes. ________ ⑤Blueberries also create “structural color” in their own way. The berries look black when they’re ripe (成熟的), but the plants build a thin layer of wax (蜡) on their outside. This layer is only 0.4% of a centimeter thick, but it gives the berries their blue look. The blue color helps the plants because birds are attracted to the rare color. They eat the berries and spread the seeds (种子) far and wide. ⑥Now your bowl of blueberries suddenly looks a lot more interesting. The fruit is beautiful, but its beauty is only skin deep! 41. According to the article, after you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, it almost looks ________. A. blue B. white C. black D. reddish-purple 42. Which of the following pictures correctly shows why a leaf looks green to us? A. B. C. D. 43. Blueberries appear blue in the same way that ________. A. a CD appears colorful B. a tree leaf appears green C. they appear black when ripe D. a fallen leaf appears yellow 44. The sentence “Then ask yourself: Are blueberries really blue?” should be put ________. A. at the end of Paragraph 1 B. at the end of Paragraph 2 C. at the end of Paragraph 3 D. at the end of Paragraph 4 45. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A. ①/②③/④⑤⑥ B. ①/②/③④/⑤⑥ C. ①②/③④/⑤⑥ D. ①/②/③④⑤/⑥ 第二部分 非选择题（65分） 五、任务型阅读 （本题共10小题；每题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，并根据所读内容，在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。（注意：每个空格只填一个单词） Are Home Robots a Good Idea? As science and technology develop so fast, there are many types of home robots on the market today. More and more people like them and want to own one. Amazon’s Astro is the favourite on the robot market. It can do many tasks, such as carrying drinks and playing music. The robot can also be controlled when the owner is not at home. It can be used to check on pets and people, or whether the oven (烤箱) is left on. Other home robots can be used to do housework and more. Do you think home robots are a good idea? Emily I’d like to have a home robot! Home robots can help out with housework. This makes people free enough to do the things they enjoy. The robots can also help people guard against any possible danger in homes. For example, it can remind the owner when there is a water leak (漏水) or a broken window. It can keep an eye on pets or young children. What’s more, the robots can stay and chat with people. They can also help people stay in touch. In this way, they can make people feel less lonely. In general, home robots can provide people with what is needed. Lucas I don’t think it’s good to have home robots! Doing housework is a good way for us to stay active and healthy. If home robots do everything for us, we will become lazy. Even worse, we will be unable to do certain tasks. If the robot breaks down, we may not be able to clean our home or cook for ourselves. Lots of people already depend on phones for navigation (导航) and can’t read maps. Also, many home robots, like Astro, have cameras and microphones. They can record lots of information about us, including our conversations. As a result, our private information can’t be protected. Just as the saying goes, every coin has two sides. Home robots can bring us a lot of convenience (便利) and make our life easier. But if we depend on them too much, we may be troubled with it as well. That’s a problem worth thinking about. Title: Are Home Robots a Good Idea? The introduction to home robots With the fast ____46____ of science and technology, there are many types of home robots on the market today. These robots are becoming more ____47____. A (n) ____48____ Astro, a home robot, can do many tasks: *carrying drinks and playing music *checking on pets, people and electrical appliances (电器) Different ideas about having home robots. Emily: Yes Emily: ____49____ *Home robots can do housework. Then people will have much ____50____ to do what they enjoy. *Home robots can make people feel ____51____ because they can be used to check on their home. *Home robots can stop people from feeling lonely. *In general, home robots can ____52____ people’s needs. *If home robots do everything for us, we will become lazy. *People will depend on home robots and lose the ____53____ to do certain tasks. *Lots of information about people can be ____54____ by home robots and people’s privacy can’t be protected. Conclusion: Home robots can help us live more ____55____, but we shouldn’t depend on them too much. 六、短文填空 （本题共10小题；每题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个恰当的单词或者括号内单词的正确形式（每空不限填一词）。 The Spring Festival is the oldest festival in China.

We caught up with her for an interview. And here are some highlights from it. About cartooning Drawing cartoons had been a hobby forever. I’d make cards for friends and family with my drawings. But mostly writing was my job until one of my friends who worked for the American Girl magazine wanted me to do drawings. I did the art and that was the first time that I had ever seen my drawings in a book. It’s really fun. I record all my ideas and the things I see in my own life. I see everything in comics. The very first time I saw my husband, my thought was, “I know exactly how I would draw that guy because he had this really square face.” I prefer to see everything as a cartoon. About her favorite cartoon It’s really about my family. Early on, Claire dropped a roll of toilet paper into the toilet. It was a clean toilet, and we had to get the paper out and dry it off. I did a cartoon about that and that one was funny. We could not believe what happened. I really enjoy making a cartoon about a personal family moment. ________ I have a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old, both girls. They often are fine. But the one thing that they do not like is how I draw their clothing. Clearly, it’s not attractive. I just draw T-shirts with long sleeves (袖子) and long trousers. And there are a lot of complaints about that. I created one cartoon recently where my younger daughter Claire wrote a sentence for homework and then fell off the chair. She was very tired. And there’s another one where she holds onto my leg and wants me to take her into the kitchen to get a snack. Those are really my favorite ones for some reason. My older daughter Kate doesn’t pay that much attention. I spend my whole life watching them and cartooning about them. And the older they get, the less they care. Kate said, “If I see you drawing anyone rolling their eyes (翻白眼), I know it’s a cartoon about me.” 31. According to the article, Adrienne Hedger was a (n) ________ before becoming a cartoonist. A. interviewer B. housewife C. writer D. publisher 32. Claire and Kate complain much about their mother’s drawings because ________. A. they are too busy to finish their homework B. they are tired of being the models for her creations C. they are not satisfied with their clothing in her cartoons D. they are not willing to pay much attention to her cartoons 33. What’s Kate’s attitude (态度) towards her mother’s cartoons? A. She finds them really interesting. B. She doesn’t care a lot about them. C. She actively offers suggestions about them. D. She doesn’t like them and never watches them. 34. Which of the following would be the best subtitle (小标题) in ________ ? A. About getting along with her daughters B. About drawing cartoons of her daughters C. About watching cartoons with her daughters D. About getting her daughters to enjoy cartoons 35. What can be inferred (推断) about how Adrienne Hedger feels about drawing cartoons? A. She enjoys making cartoons, especially family ones. B. She was unwilling to draw cartoons at the very first. C. She is proud of her cartoons and believes they are perfect. D. She likes drawing cartoons on family members, especially her husband. 【答案】31. C 32. C 33. B 34. B 35.

Marla knew that once our three daughters understood that their mother had been given 1,000 days to live, they’d start counting. They would not be able to enjoy school, friends, their teams, or birthday parties. They’d be watching too closely how she looked, moved, acted, ate, or didn’t. Marla wanted her daughters to stay children: happy, relaxed, and confident that tomorrow would look like yesterday. In 2009, Marla’s doctor called to tell her that she had early-stage cancer. After several medical operations, she needed eight rounds of chemotherapy (化疗) to clear the cancer found in her body. Our kids were 8, 9, and 11 at the time, and they understood that their mother was under treatment, but we never told them the news we soon learned from hospital: Marla had the most serious cancer cell, and she had little chance to stay alive. Her doctor directly told her, “Go to live your next 1,000 days in the best way you know how.” Though she was badly ill, Marla went on running long distances, for her own mental (心理的) fitness, and more importantly, so her kids would see her strong. I knew these miles were a wonder. Marla survived a little more than 3,500 days instead of 1,000. In her lifetime, she celebrated 25 anniversaries (周年纪念日), 57 children’s birthdays, three college acceptances, and two high-school graduations. But the next numbers make me sad: Zero college graduations. Zero weddings. Zero grandchildren. Marla said to me at the hospital, “No glory (辉煌的) days for us. We almost had the kids out of the house, and now you’re alone. I’m so sorry.” I replied, “Sorry about what? You lived life to the fullest and made life worth living. I admired your power and courage. You already outran science. Thank you for taking me on your magic journey. Rest easy, my one and only girlfriend.” 36. If the children were told about Marla’s illness, they would ________. A. remain active B. study harder C. stay out with friends D. live with worries 37. How did Marla face her illness? A She continued sports activities. B. She accepted it angrily. C. She avoided social life. D. She refused medical treatment. 38. What do the numbers show in Paragraph 5? A. Their valuable memories. B. Seriousness of her illness. C. A mixed feeling of joy and sadness. D. Importance of family celebrations. 39. What does the underlined word “outran” mean in the last paragraph? A. 相信 B. 依赖 C. 超过 D. 证实 40. What does Marla’s story tell us? A. Life is not roses. B. The fullest life matters most. C. Love can beat illness. D. Happiness takes long time. 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. C 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了Marla在得知自己患有严重癌症后，选择不将病情告诉孩子们，而是坚强地面对生活，希望孩子们能无忧无虑地成长。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They would not be able to enjoy school, friends, their teams, or birthday parties. They’d be watching too closely how she looked, moved, acted, ate, or didn’t.”可知，如果孩子们被告知Marla的病情，他们会担心。故选D。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Though she was badly ill, Marla went on running long distances”可知，在知道自己患有癌症后，她继续体育活动。故选A。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Marla survived a little more than 3,500 days instead of 1,000. In her lifetime, she celebrated 25 anniversaries ( 周年纪念日), 57 children’s birthdays, three college acceptances, and two high-school graduations. But the next numbers make me sad: Zero college graduations. Zero weddings. Zero grandchildren.”可知，这些数字既代表了Marla见证的喜悦时刻，也代表了她的遗憾。故选C。 【39题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Marla survived a little more than 3,500 days instead of 1,000.”和“You already outran science.”可知，Marla活了3500多天，而不是1000天，这已经超越科学了，划线单词意为“超过”。故选C。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，Marla在得知自己患有严重癌症后，坚强地面对生活，在经历了多次手术和化疗，但她依然坚持长跑，以保持良好的心态。最终，Marla的生命远超过了医生预测的1000天，文章强调了Marla坚强勇敢地生活，活出了自己的精彩，因此Marla的故事告诉我们充实的人生最重要。故选B。 D ①Do you like blueberries? If so, the next time you’re about to eat these delicious berries, take a good look at them. ________ ②For the most part, blueberries aren’t blue. If you carefully take off the skin of one blueberry, you’ll see that the fruit inside is white. If you rub (摩擦) the inside of the skin on a white piece of paper, you’ll see a reddish-purple color. And if you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, the blue color disappears and the berry looks almost black. But the moment you pick one, it does look blue. What’s going on? ________ ③Well, there are two ways to create colors. The first is through pigments (色素). Pigments show the color of the light they don’t take in. The most common pigment in plants is chlorophyll (叶绿素), a green pigment. Plant leaves appear green because chlorophyll doesn’t take in green light. It sends it out instead while taking in blue and red light. Plants prefer to take in blue light because it has more energy than any other light. In fact, there aren’t any “true blue” pigments in the plant world. ________ ④The second way to make color is through “structural color (结构光)”. This happens when the surface makes some colors of light look different. Have you ever seen the rainbow colors on a CD? These colors show up because of the tiny spaces between the CD’s thin layers (层). These spaces only allow certain colors to reach our eyes. ________ ⑤Blueberries also create “structural color” in their own way. The berries look black when they’re ripe (成熟的), but the plants build a thin layer of wax (蜡) on their outside. This layer is only 0.4% of a centimeter thick, but it gives the berries their blue look. The blue color helps the plants because birds are attracted to the rare color. They eat the berries and spread the seeds (种子) far and wide. ⑥Now your bowl of blueberries suddenly looks a lot more interesting. The fruit is beautiful, but its beauty is only skin deep! 41. According to the article, after you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, it almost looks ________. A. blue B. white C. black D. reddish-purple 42. Which of the following pictures correctly shows why a leaf looks green to us? A. B. C. D. 43. Blueberries appear blue in the same way that ________. A a CD appears colorful B. a tree leaf appears green C. they appear black when ripe D. a fallen leaf appears yellow 44. The sentence “Then ask yourself: Are blueberries really blue?” should be put ________. A. at the end of Paragraph 1 B. at the end of Paragraph 2 C. at the end of Paragraph 3 D. at the end of Paragraph 4 45. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A. ①/②③/④⑤⑥ B. ①/②/③④/⑤⑥ C. ①②/③④/⑤⑥ D. ①/②/③④⑤/⑥ 【答案】41. C 42. B 43. A 44. A 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍蓝莓呈蓝色的原因。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“And if you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, the blue color disappears and the berry looks almost black.”可知，轻轻擦拭蓝莓的外部后，它几乎看起来是黑色的。故选C。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Plant leaves appear green because chlorophyll doesn’t take in green light. It sends it out instead while taking in blue and red light.”可知，植物叶子呈绿色是因为叶片中含有叶绿素，而叶绿素主要吸收红光和蓝光，不吸收绿光，故而绿光被反射回来，使得叶片呈绿色，可推知，B项符合。故选B。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The second way to make color is through ‘structural color (结构光)’…Have you ever seen the rainbow colors on a CD? These colors show up because of the tiny spaces between the CD’s thin layers (层).”以及“Blueberries also create “structural color” in their own way.”可知，蓝莓呈现蓝色，就像CD呈现彩色一样，两者都是通过“结构光”制造颜色。故选A。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Do you like blueberries? If so, the next time you’re about to eat these delicious berries, take a good look at them.”及下文“For the most part, blueberries aren’t blue.”可知，此处承上启下，引出蓝色这一话题。故选A。 【45题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段主要讲述吃蓝莓时，看到蓝莓的颜色是蓝色；第二段主要讲述剥开蓝莓或者轻轻擦拭蓝莓的外部，这时看到的颜色都不是蓝色的；第三段到第五段讲述创造颜色的两种方法和蓝莓创造颜色的方法；最后一段总结全文。故选D。 第二部分 非选择题（65分） 五、任务型阅读 （本题共10小题；每题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，并根据所读内容，在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。（注意：每个空格只填一个单词） Are Home Robots a Good Idea?

I believe it will make our school life more colorful and provide a good chance for us to enjoy the beauty of English. As for the activities, I’d like to recommend Telling good Chinese stories in English. In my opinion, it will not only make ourselves understand our culture better but also improve our English speaking and writing. More importantly, we can help to spread Chinese culture through the activity. Grade 9 students can get prepared during the winter holiday. It’s necessary to choose a good Chinese story first. If we don’t know how to tell the story in English clearly, we can email teachers for help. We can also practise it in front of our parents or friends. Maybe they have some good ideas. I think it’ll be very meaningful if we can tell good Chinese stories in English at the English Festival. I hope my advice is worth taking. Yours sincerely, Liu Qing 范文2 Dear Editor, I’m happy to hear that we will have an English Festival next term. I’m sure it is an important chance for us students to improve our learning skills and show our talents. I’d like to recommend an activitity named English chorus competition for the festival. By practising singing together, we can not only improve our English pronunciation but also make our English study more enjoyable. What’s more, we can learn about teamwork and become closer to each other. During the winter vacation, Grade Nine students can learn the songs at home with the help of the Internet at the beginning. Later, the whole class can gather together at school and practise singing once a week. In my opinion, it is meaningful for us to take part in the English chorus competition. I hope my advice would be helpful to you.
