Most of us would say,“Yes!” But why do we find them cute? About 100 years ago, scientists listed the cute features of human babies. These included a large head,round cheeks, big eyes and more. Many baby animals have similar features. When we see a cute baby or animal, our brain produces some special chemicals. These chemicals make us feel happy. Besides， our brain creates the “cute response（可爱回应）.”This feeling makes us want to protect the baby or animal. In 2009， scientists in the U．S． did a study． They asked 122 young people to rate（评分）the cuteness of human babies. What did the scientists find? Well, the cuter these people rated the baby,the more they wanted to care for that baby. However, not everyone feels cuteness in the same way. In another study, scientists used computers to create some pictures of baby faces. These babies looked similar but had small differences in their features. The scientists then showed these pictures to a group of people. Who could better find out the differences? Well, women did a little better than men. And women between the ages of 19 and 26 did the best. Interestingly， when we see a really cute baby or animal， we may want to squeeze（挤压）or bite it. This is called “cuteness aggression（可爱侵略性）.”Do we want to hurt the baby or animal？ Not at all! In fact, our brain doesn't want our cute response to be too strong. As a result, it creates the feeling of aggression to try to fit in. 九年级英语 第 4 页 （共 8 页） 26.Which of the following babies may be the cutest baby according to the passage? A.A baby with a large head, small eyes and a big nose. B.A baby with a large head,big eyes, square cheeks and long legs. C.A baby with big eyes, a small head and straight hair. D.A baby with a large head, round cheeks, big eyes and a small mouth. 27.Which statement is TRUE according to the article? A.All people have the same feeling when it comes to cuteness. B. Our brain creates chemicals that make us happy when we see cute things. C.Men always notice small differences in baby faces better than women. D. To study more, scientists used a computer to make some quite different baby faces. 28.What is the relationship between the "cute response" and “cuteness aggression"? A.There is no connection at all. B.Aggression is the brain's way of balancing the cute response. C.They happen in different parts of the brain. D.Only humans experience cute response while animals show aggression. 29.Which is the best title for the passage? A.How to Make Yourself Cuter B. The Happiness of Cuteness Response C.Male-Female Differences in Cuteness Feeling D.The Science Behind Why We Find Things Cute C One of the most amazing natural wonders in the world is the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis. This dazzling light show can be seen in the night sky near the north and south poles,painting the darkness with shining lines of green, pink, purple, and sometimes even red. But what causes this magical phenomenon, and where can you see it? The Northern Lights are a result of activity on the Sun. The Sun always sends out tiny energy particles （粒子）called solar wind. When these particles come to Earth，they meet Earth＇s magnetic field（磁 场）and move toward the North and South Poles. There， they hit gases in the air， mainly oxygen and nitrogen, and make them light up. The most common color is green, which comes from oxygen. Nitrogen produces purple or pink colors. The colors you see depend on which gas gets hit and how high up in the sky this happens. The best places to see the Northern Lights are in countries close to the Arctic Circle（北极圈），such as Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Canada, and Alaska. They are easiest to see during the winter months when nights are long and dark. Clear skies and locations far from city lights increase the chances of a good view. Some people even plan special trips just to witness this great view,waiting patiently in the cold for the lights to appear. For centuries, people have been attracted by the Northern Lights. Ancient cultures believed they were spirits dancing in the sky or messages from the gods. Today, scientists study them to understand more about space weather and how solar activity influences Earth. But for most of us, the Northern Lights remain a beautiful mystery-a reminder of how amazing our planet and space truly are. If you ever get the chance to see them, it will surely be an unforgettable experience. 九年级英语 第 5 页（共 8 页） 30.What's the main cause of the Northern Lights? A.Ice shining in the sky. B.Tiny pieces from the Sun hitting Earth's air. C.City lights near cold places. D.Lightning in the Arctic Circle. 31.Which is the best place to watch the Northern Lights? A.Hot places near the equator. B.Big cities with lots of lights. C. Cold countries near the North Pole. D.Beaches with warm weather. 32.What does the writer mean by "a beautiful mystery" in the last paragraph? A.We know everything about them now. B.They're pretty, but they hold secrets. C.They're amazing, like spirits dancing in the sky. D.They're the messages from the gods. D What happens when street dance meets Chinese martial arts（武术）？We recently found an impressive answer in two dancing boys. Earlier this month, Song Haoming, 10, and Fu Junxi, 14, made history at Juste Debout 2025 in Paris. Juste Debout is the world's biggest street dance competition. In the finals,they danced Hip- Hop（嘻哈）.They beat stronger adult dancers to enter thefinal four. Few had expected them to get this far. Song and Fu are very different. Pan Limin, the leader of CHUC's youth street dance team,said the two boys were like fire and water. "Song is full of energy-always laughing and playful-just like fire," he said."Fu is quiet, just like water.” In their dance， the pair wowed the audience with their cool Drunken Fist（醉拳）and Tai Chi moves. These martial arts elements （元素） added lots of energy to their performance.＂The kids made up the moves themselves," said Ms. Jia, Fu's mother. “Their hard work paid off, and you could feel the excitement there." Chinese elements have been used in street dance before.“Back in 2018, we used traditional culture in our dance called Yellow,River,” said Mr. Zhang, who works at CHUC. "We won the Lotus Award, China's top dance prize." The use of Chinese elements allows for more possibilities to explore the art of street dance. Apart from Song and Fu, three other children took part in this year's Juste Debout event. They also did well in their group, the Junior Dance Tour."All five of our children made it to the final eight in their groups," said Pan. “But there are many more talented kids in our country. They just need a chance to show themselves.” 33.Why was it unexpected that they entered the final four? A.Because they were the youngest among all the dancers. B.Because they amazingly beat the older, more powerful dancers. C. Because they used some foreign dance styles. D.Because they didn't take part in any international competitions before. 九年级英语 第 6 页（共 8 页） 34．Which of the following might be the judges＇ response（裁判的反应）to their show？ A.They preferred modern street dance. B. They were impressed by the cultural mix. C.They thought the boys were too young. D.They wanted more difficult moves. 35.Why does the author mention the Lotus Award? A.To explain how to win competitions. B. To list all dance awards in China. C. To show this was the first Chinese dance prize. D.To prove mixing Chinese culture has worked before. 36.What might help Song and Fu succeed according to the passage? A.Natural talent and good luck. B. Creativity and hard work. C.Bravery and cleverness. D.Excellent teacher and hard training. 四、还原句子（共 4 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 6 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I am from Beijing. Every Spring Festival, I go to the Baiyun Temple for its Miaohui, or temple fair（庙会）.It＇s a fun event. My favorite activity is “da jin qian yan.＂ People throw coins at a large wooden coin. At the center of this coin, there is a bell. They say hitting it brings good luck. This Miaohui is only one of many in China. 37 It had to do with religion（宗教）.Long ago，Buddhism and Taoism（佛教和道教）both wanted to attract more people. They built temples （庙宇）to do so. As more visitors came， shops opened near the temples. 38 This is how Miaohui began. Later, cultural activities were held at Miaohui. These included god worship and folk performances. The most famous was Xingxiang. People put Buddha statues on floats and paraded them. 39 People would go to Miaohui to buy and sell goods. This was the most popular during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. People also went to Miaohui to celebrate Chinese New Year and some other holidays. Today,people have mnore to enjoy at Miaohui. For example, Longfusi Miaohui shows folk crafts （技艺）and organizes different cultural events， such as Beijing opera． 40 These activities help people experience traditional Chinese culture in a fun way.

Lucas: (Reading on his phone.) Have you heard? China's skill of building wooden arch bridges （ 拱桥）is now on the list of UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage（非物质文化遗产）. Sara:Really? Are these bridges still there? Lucas: (Searching on his phone.) Yes, there are more than 100 of them. Most are in Zhejiang and Fujian. Sara: But if they are very old bridges, how can they still be there? I mean, shouldn't they be falling down or even long gone? Lucas： Well， I think it＇s because of the skill of their “mortise and tenon” structure（榫卯 结构）.Ancient people built these bridges without using nails （钉子）. Basically， builders use mortise and tenon joints to fit two sets of beamns （梁） together. The longer beams are as long as the main body of the bridge. Mortises are cut into their ends. The shorter beams have tenons at their ends. The tenons are carefully fit into the mortises. Then the beams form a solid arch to support the bridge. Sara: That sounds like a very difficult skill. Lucas: It certainly is. And when designing a wooden arch bridge, designers have to think about a lot of things, such as traffic flow and fengshui. They must also find out about the area's land and soil. Sara: It's a lot more than just gettingfrom one place to another. Lucas: Exactly! In fact, the skill has been passed down since the Song Dynasty. But modern technology has made it seem out of date. Sara: I hope more people will see it as it's now on the UNESCO.list. Lucas: Me too! It would be sad if we lost this ancient wisdom. 41.What is the most amazingand challenging skill in building these ancient bridges? 42.What things do builders have to consider when designing these bridges? Please name two things. 43.When did people first use this skill to build things? 44.As a Chinese teenager,how would you help protect this skill? 九年级英语第 8 页 （共 8 页） 六、综合填空（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The first Lion King movie came out in 1994.
