B As part of my career exploration project, I interviewed Li Yangyang, an ancient book restorer ( 修 复 者 ) in Wuhan. Li Yangyang has been working in this field for eight years and now has his own studio. When asked how he entered this field, Li explained that it was an unexpected career path. The course Li attended during college was international business. In 2017, after graduating from college, he saw a company looking for ancient book restorers. It offered training for people without experience. He was curious, so he applied for the job. Restoring ancient books, Li explained, is far more challenging than it looks. A project usually has more than 20 steps, such as taking photos for records, taking apart books, cleaning, binding and more. Some books are so wet that the pages stick together. Even the first step—flattening the pages—can take a whole day. One wrong move could break the page. “It’s important for us to have a good sense of beauty,” Li added. Restoration isn’t just about “fixing” the book. The size and the colour of the new pages must match the restored ancient book. Beginners need to stay calm and respect the work. “Never work when impatient,” he warned. “Once, I almost broke a book because I was too angry.” When it came to the future, Li felt hopeful about the field’s growth. With China attaching more importance to cultural heritage (遗产 ), ancient book restoration is growing fast. Since February, he has shared videos on Xiaohongshu and Douyin to show people what this work is 九年级英语 第 5页 共 10页 about. Most of his followers are young people. This shows that more young people are interested in this field now. 31. What did Li Yangyang study in college? A. Art history. B. Chinese culture. C. International business. D. Ancient book restoration. 32. Why does Li Yangyang say restoring ancient books is difficult? A. Because the books are too old. B. Because the first step takes much time. C. Because it requires a lot of steps. D. Because the pages are always broken. 33. What’s the correct order of the following events about Li Yangyang? a. He nearly broke a book when angry. b. He saw a company hiring restorers. c. He was curious about ancient book restoration. d. He shared videos on apps since February. e. He began restoration work after training. A. b-a-c-d-e B. b-c-e-a-d C. c-e-d-a-b D. c-d-b-a-e 34. Why does Li Yangyang share videos on social media? A. To make money by selling more ancient books. B. To show his restoration studio for ancient books. C. To find more people to help restore ancient books. D. To let people know about ancient book restoration. 35. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Li Yangyang’s personal life during college. B. The future of ancient book restoration. C. The skills needed for ancient book restoration. D. Li Yangyang’s career as an ancient book restorer. C Ever since Rami Ahmed started sixth grade, he’s felt unnoticed. Having no friends to spend time with, Rami spends his afternoons in an art museum where his mom works. He waits for his mom to finish work there. When a painting disappears, Rami’s mom is a suspect. So is Rami! With the help of a turtle (海龟) named Agatha, a ghost named Blue and a classmate named Veda, Rami must race to clear his mom’s name and his own. It turns out that there is no so-called thief and that the thief and the motive (动机) are not what they seemed. The story above is from Jasmine Warga’s latest book A Strange Thing Happened in Cherry Hall. Jasmine Warga is the writer of the Newbery Honor (纽伯瑞荣誉奖) book Other Words for Home. A Strange Thing Happened in Cherry Hall is her first mystery. And it is a success as soon as it comes out. Now it gets more and more readers. 九年级英语 第 6页 共 10页 TFK Kid reporter Milo Bhushan read A Strange Thing Happened in Cherry Hall and interviewed its writer. When he spoke with Warga, she said she has the same feeling as Rami. “As a kid, ▲ ,” she says, “but I was scared about being seen in the wrong ways.” Warga wants her readers to know that people like Rami and her should be seen. “And sometimes,” she says, “you have to be brave in order to be seen.” A Strange Thing Happened in Cherry Hall is a charming novel. The characters have to solve the mystery of a stolen painting. But each of them also solves the personal mystery of how to be seen by others. As Warga puts it, “finding out who you are and where you belong (归属) in the world is also a mystery. Now I wish we all had a wise and observant (善于观察的) turtle named Agatha to help us find it out!” 36. How many characters are mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. 4. B. 5. C. 6. D. 7. 37. What can we know about A Strange Thing Happened in Cherry Hall? ①It’s a mystery novel. ②It’s Warga’s first book. ③It’s very popular and successful. ④Rami’s mom is the only suspect.

I really wanted other people to see me 39. From the passage, we can find the answer to the question “__________”. A. How old is Rami? B. What’s Rami’s mom like? C. Why did Warga write the novel? D. Where did Milo interview Warga? 40. What does Warga want her readers to learn from the book? A. Everyone should be brave to show themselves. B. Everyone should stop themselves from being suspects. C. Everyone can easily find out where they belong. D. Everyone can be seen without wisdom and carefulness. D As the sun rises over the Tiaozini Wetlands in Jiangsu Province, China, thousands of birds fill the sky. This place is a World Heritage Site and one of the most important homes for migratory birds (候鸟) in the world. They find food and rest here during their long journeys. Years ago, the government faced two choices: build factories for profit or protect the wetlands. At last, it chose nature over the city’s GDP growth! They spent millions to save the land, and in 2019, their hard work paid off—Tiaozini became 九年级英语 第 7页 共 10页 China’s first coastal wetland World Heritage Site. Now, Tiaozini is full of food for birds. People also have made special places for birds to rest and repaired parts of the wetlands. For these reasons, more birds are coming. Now, there are 414 kinds of birds here. As many bird species (物种) live here, the number is twice now compared to 10 years ago! Some are very rare, and they include 64 endangered bird species. The wetlands don’t just help birds, they help local people too! Birdwatchers and photographers visit every year, bringing money to the area. The government created eco-friendly (环保的) tours and even a zero-carbon (no pollution) tourism zone. Now, fishing villages have become green tourism spots, and families make 10,000 yuan more per year. Tiaozini shows us that protecting nature and making money can go together. The wetlands are now part of the local culture. People are proud of the birds and work together to protect them. This place is not just a success story. It is also a plan for the future. It reminds us that protecting nature is the best way forward. Every small effort can help create a world where humans and nature live together happily. 41. What does the underlined word “profit” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Creating jobs. B. Making money. C. Improving technology. D. Developing resources. 42. The writer uses numbers in Paragraph 3 to ____________. A. prove people’s efforts to protect birds are successful B. describe how local people repair parts of the wetlands C. describe how Tiaozini provides different foods for birds D. prove some birds in the Tiaozini Wetlands are very rare 43. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. The wetlands help protect birds. B. The wetlands help local people. C. The villages become tourism spots. D. The wetlands bring much money. 44. What does the writer think of Tiaozini’s development? A. It is a special case. B. It is a future choice. C. It is an air castle. D. It is an unexpected success. 45. In which part of a newspaper can we read the passage? A. Health and Sports. B. Science and Study. C. Travel and Culture. D. Humans and Earth. 第二部分 非选择题（共 55分） 四、任务型阅读：阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后的表格。（每空一词）（共 10 小题，每小题 1.5分，计 15 分） 九年级英语 第 8页 共 10页 Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a hot topic in our daily lives. Its growing use in our lives has led to different ideas about it. Some people believe that AI is a great tool that can make our lives better. AI acts as a smart helper across many fields, including healthcare, education, robotics and more. In education, if students have trouble with math problems, AI can help them solve problems step by step, which helps them learn better. AI can also do with some boring and repeating tasks, such as collecting and entering data (数据). By giving these jobs to AI, humans can devote more of their time to interesting and creative projects. With the help of AI, people can reduce mistakes. It’s especially important in healthcare, where AI can be very careful to operate on patients. Most importantly, by doing dangerous work for people, such as controlling animals, dealing with bombs and doing tasks in deep water, high places or outer space, AI can keep workers away from harm. However, others think that AI comes with risks, especially if used improperly. One risk is that students may use AI to cheat (欺骗) on their homework more easily. If students depend too much on AI for answers, they may not learn how to think in different ways or solve problems on their own. Another problem with AI is the spread of information which is not true. AI can sometimes produce things that look real, which makes it hard for people to know what is true, and what is not. In my opinion, AI will keep developing. By using it wisely, we can build a future where technology makes life better, fairer and safer for all. As AI grows smarter, let’s grow wiser too! Is Artificial Intelligence Good for Society? Introduction More and more people use AI, but they think about it 46 . 47 of AI ●In education, AI can 48 students’ learning by helping them solve problems step by step. ●AI can do with some boring and repeating tasks, allowing humans to 49 more of their time on interesting and creative activities. ●AI is able to help people make 50 mistakes.

Risks of AI ● AI makes it easier for students to cheat on their homework, preventing students from thinking in different ways or solving problems 53 . ●AI can also 54 information which is not true, making it hard for people to know which things are true.

In just two days, they built a dam (坝) that the Czech government had planned for seven years 56 never started. Their work saved 1.2 million dollars. People all over the world 57 (impress) by these hard-working animals. But if you know more about beavers, you may not find the news 58 (surprise). Beavers are like natural engineers. Using strong teeth, beavers cut sticks 59 (build) dams and homes. They also add grass, rocks and wet earth to make them stronger. But why do they build dams? Scientists say it’s for 60 (safe). On land, beavers move slowly and they may be in danger. Their dams create ponds (池塘) that protect them from other animals like bears. Beaver ponds are not only comfortable homes for these animals 61 (them), but also create wetland ecosystems (生态系统 ) that support many plants and animals. These wetlands store water 62 heavy rains, reducing floods. In dry seasons, they keep rivers flowing. Scientists also found that wetland plants near beaver dams even help fight climate change. 63 , beavers sometimes cause problems, like flooding roads or chewing (咀嚼) trees. But instead of driving them away, people now find ways to live 64 (peace) with them. For example, building special paths can guide beavers to safer areas. Beavers remind us that every living thing plays 65 important role in nature. By working with these hard-working engineers, we can protect our environment better. 六、书面表达（25分） 学校报刊英文版正在开展以“Kindness as Our Virtue”为主题的征文活动。请你用英语 写一篇短文投稿，谈谈你对善的看法．．．．．．，曾经行善的经历．．．．．．．以及你的感受．．．．。 参考词汇：virtue（美德） 征文要点：1.

I think we should be kind to others because it can not only help others but also keep us happy. In fact, helping others is helping ourselves. When I started middle school, my friend Peter often failed the math exam. He was so sad that he wanted to give up. When I knew this, I encouraged him and gave him some advice. Every day we did homework together and I helped him when he was in trouble. Little by little, he became interested in math. With my help, he improved a lot and did better and better in the math exam. The rose’s in her hand, the flavor in mine. I was very happy and proud for what I did. No matter what difficulties I meet, I will stick to helping those who need help.
