When she was just five years old, she watched the Olympics for the first time with her parents. Of course, her favorite part was the gymnastics competition. It was right then and there that Samantha had a dream. “I’m going to be an Olympian!” she shouted with excitement. “Dream BIG, Samantha! If you have a strong will, you can achieve ANYTHING.” her parents added. ▲ In order not to forget her big plan to be the very best, she even had her mum help her hang the word DREAM up in her room. Samantha trained very hard and soon found she was great at all of the events except the balance beam (平衡木). “I couldn’t do it, mum!” “My dear, you have to have the bad days to enjoy the good days. Come on!” Again, Samantha kept fighting. That meant it was time to continue to try at that terrible balance beam. With her coach’s help and her parents’ support, Samantha felt unbeatable. Four years later, when it was time to get her big chance as an Olympian, Samantha made a couple of mistakes. “I’m so mad I didn’t win.” Samantha cried. Her mum looked at her, “We don’t love you for you win. We love you because you are Samantha.” Samantha kept practicing and dreaming. After another four years, the day came. The day she had dreamed about since she was five years old. SHE MADE THE OLYMPIC TEAM! She was ready to be the very best and tried her best to practice hard. However, something terrible happened. Samantha hurt her ankle (脚踝) before the competition! 九年级英语 第 6 页 共 10 页 And then she remembered her parents’ words. I have to have the bad days to enjoy the good days. I’m not loved because I win. I’m loved because I’m me. Maybe the very best me today means supporting my teammates. “Dream BIG!” Samantha cheered on her teammates. “You can achieve everything if you set your mind to.” AND THEY DID! 51．Which of the following sentence can be put in “ ▲ ” ?

A．The Way to Success B．The Unbeatable Love C．Little Girl Dream Big D．The Advantages of Gymnastics C Years ago, Maja Matarić, a computer scientist, wanted to create a robot to help her in working with children. For effective human interaction (互动), the robot needed a face. However, she didn’t want it to look too much like a human because she thought that would make people scared. Some scientists think that when robots look nearly, but not quite, human, they can scare people away. Their skin may not move naturally, their eyes might not light up when they laugh, and their smiles could look fake (假的). That makes them seem alive but not quite natural, just like a zombie (僵尸). Dave Hanson feels differently. His company designs robots with faces made of a special rubbery (有弹性的) fake skin. The skin can crease (皱起) like human skin . Hanson’s robots are also able to copy expressions(表情 ). With camera eyes, the robot can know whether you’re happy or puzzled by watching your smiling mouth or a crease in your forehead. It then show you similar facial expressions. While people might find robot faces scary at first, Hanson believes that they can soon get used to it. He thinks if robots are going to work closely with humans, they should look as much like us as possible, as our faces are an important part of the way we communicate. 九年级英语 第 7 页 共 10 页 Matarić, however, argues that robot faces don’t need to look a lot like us. Her research shows that people can enjoy interacting with robots whether or not they look human. Our brains are wired (生来就会)to hunt for faces, so we can easily find them even in simple shapes, such as two circles on top of a robot’s body. ▲ If a robot turns its head or eyes toward something, it gives humans a clue that the machine will move in that direction. Matarić’s team designed their robot, Bandit, with a simple face. On its face you can see big eyes, wiggling (扭动的 ) eyebrows and red lips that can make different shapes. Moving just the eyebrows and lips lets Bandit express many feelings: surprise, calm, happiness, even anger. Matarić says that as robots play a bigger role in our lives, we would become more used to different robot faces. 56. Why didn’t Maja Matarić want the robot to look too much like a human? A. Because she was afraid people would not like to interact with it. B. Because she disliked working with robots with scary faces. C. Because she thought people would get scared by its face. D. Because she thought designing a robot with a face requires much effort. 57. Paragraphs 3 to 5 mainly show that having human-like faces may make it easier for robots to __________. A.read humans’ feelings B. crease like humans C.attract more people D. communicate with humans 58. What does the underlined word “copy” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A . explain B. control C. explore D. follow 59.Which sentence may be the best to fill in the “ ▲ ”? A. However, whether robots look like humans matters a lot in daily communication. B. Since humans are born with special abilities, we can find robots without a face in a short time. C. Even so, having some kind of face can help a robot communicate better. D. Anyway, having a face in a simple shape makes robots look like humans. 60. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Should robots have human-like faces? B. What face will you give your robot? C. Is it necessary for robots to act like humans? D. Do we need to design more human-like robots? D ①As someone who’s been studying English for many years now, you might think you know the English language pretty well. But if you heard a British person say by accident, “A Billy left some bees and honey in my sherbet (冰冻果露 ) last night,” would you understand what they meant? Probably not, and many native speakers may not know what this person was saying either. ②The example above was a sentence that a London taxi driver might say to another member of his or her tribe. In fact, the sentence would be, “A customer left some money in my cab last night.” ③So, what exactly is meant by “tribe”? A recent article on the BBC Culture website pointed out that nearly all of us are a part of a tribe. This is a group that defines (定义) who we are and even how we speak. And with each tribe comes its own “secret language”, as the BBC called it. If you work in a certain industry-education, for example, you may use slang words (俚语 ) and 九年级英语 第 8 页 共 10 页 acronyms (首字母缩略词) that only other people who work in that industry would understand. Or if you live in a certain city, you might use a slang word to describe a landmark in the city, which only locals would understand. ④These so-called secret languages each have their own fascinating history. In the US, for example, the underground “ballroom” (舞厅 ) tribe of 1970s and 80s New York City and its language were showed in the 2018 FX show Pose. ⑤These secret words don’t always stay within their tribes, however. Words from many tribes, especially musical cultures such as rap and hip-hop, often enter people’s everyday vocabulary. For example, the phrase “to have beef” — meaning “to be in a conflict (冲突) ” —was made popular by US rappers. Today, it’s widely used by native English speakers all over the world. ⑥As BBC reporter Susie Dent wrote, “We are all surrounded by amazing secret languages, full of history and stories and in-jokes. And one thing is certain: our tribal conversations will never run out.” 61. The example at the beginning of the text is mainly used ________. A. to compare the local language with the standard language B. to explain what is the exact meaning of tribes in London C. to teach readers how to communicate with London taxi drivers D. to show the languages of tribes are often difficult to understand 62. Why are the underground “ballroom” tribe mentioned ? A. To show their special way of dancing. B. to prove secret languages have their own history. C. To introduce the following popular TV show Pose. D. To stress the importance of tribes . 63. What can we know about “secret languages”? A. They mostly came from musical cultures. B. Some words from them are popular in everyday conversation. C. They first started in London in the 1980s. D. They have failed to become popular among young people. 64. What is Dent’s attitude towards the future of secret languages? A. Confident. B. Worried. C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful. 65. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A.①②③/④⑤/⑥ B.①/②③④⑤/⑥ C.①②/③④⑤/⑥ D.①②/③④/⑤⑥ 第 II卷 非选择题（共 69分） 六、任务型（本题共 10小题，每小题 1分，满分 10分） Have you ever wished you could grow up fast so you could use your own money? Earning money isn’t just for adults; teenagers can get in on the action too. Money allows you to choose what you like. Perhaps you want to buy a better birthday present for your grandfather, then the extra money you make helps. Money gives you independence (独立 ). When you make your own money, you don’t have to depend on someone else. 100 yuan that you make by yourself feels a lot better than 160 yuan from your parents. Moreover, making money is a learning process (过程). By working for your own money, you’ll learn the skills necessary to succeed in the real world more actively.
