Do fun experiments with the teacher Jason Smith. Come to the lab and get prepared for your new life in high school! Time: 9:00 a.m.—11:00 a. m. on Fridays Biking Club Like biking in the open air? Join us in Biking Club Safety suggestions and biking skills will be given by William White. Your health report is a MUST. Start and end at our school gate. Time: 8:30 a. m.—9:30 a.m. on weekends * For 9th graders(over 14) 1. Who will teach students to cook? A. Romona Kaiser. B. Jason Smith. C. William White. 2. What is a must for students to join Biking Club? A. Biking skills. B. A health report. C. A safety guide. 3. Where can we read the text most probably? A. In a primary school. B. In a middle school. C. In a university. B At 15, I unwillingly joined a mountain-climbing camp in the Rockies. My fear of heights made me freeze, but my parents insisted it would “build character.” On the first morning, our instructor, Sarah, gathered us at the base. “This climb isn’t about speed or strength,” she said. “It’s about listening — to your body, the mountain, and your teammates.” I rolled my eyes, convinced that reaching the summit was the only measure of success. My teammate Jake, a confident athlete, dashed ahead, laughing at my cautious pace. “You’re wasting time!” he yelled. By midday, however, his confidence broke. Jake collapsed on a narrow ledge, trembling from thirst and muscle pain. Meanwhile, I adjusted my equipment, sipped water every 15 minutes, and studied the rock formations. When storm clouds darkened the sky, panic struck me. Sarah’s voice echoed in my mind: “Control what you can. Let go of what you can’t.” The final stretch tested everyone. Jake fell behind, humbled and silent. I focused on three-step rhythms: plant, pull, and breathe. At the summit, wind beat my face as I gazed at the valley below. Jake approached, voice shaky. “I wanted to prove I was the best,” he admitted. “But I forgot to respect the mountain.” That moment reshaped my understanding of growth — it wasn’t about conquering peaks but embracing humility and patience. Years later, as a guide, I teach philosophy at a high school. One student recently asked, “What if I fail?” I smiled. “Failure isn’t falling, it’s refusing to learn why you fell.” Mountains mirror life’s struggles: unpredictable, demanding, yet transformative (能使人改变的). Every struggle and setback carves resilience (适应力)into our stories. The true summit isn’t a physical place — it’s the wisdom we carry back to the world below. 4. What initial attitude did the author have toward the instructor’s advice? A. Enthusiastic. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Confused. 5. Why did Jake fail to climb the mountain? A. He wanted the author to win. B. He lacked proper equipment. C. He rushed without preparation. D. He had to help other climbers. 6. Which of the following words best describes the author? A. Patiently observant. B. Eagerly ambitious. C. Competitively driven. D. Emotionally attached. 7. What lesson does the author learn from this climbing? A. Winning requires fighting bravely. B. Physical strength guarantees success. C. Teamwork outweighs personal goals. D. Success values steady effort over shortcuts. C Long ago, in ancient China, there was a story about the invention of silk. People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into soft and strong cloth. This magical cloth became known as “silk”, and it was so valuable that it was called “China’s Gold”. Following kings’ orders, the Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries. But then, something amazing happened! During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian traveled west as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed by, silk became so important that the trade road from Europe to China got its name — the Silk Road. The Silk Road became a busy highway for traders who carried things across deserts and mountains. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices, gold and silver from the West. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example, Chinese inventions like papermaking were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to China. Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like the Dunhuang Grottoes in China, you can see how art pieces combined Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive. It can not be seen anywhere else. The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends through trade and shared ideas. Today, we remember the Silk Road as one of the greatest examples of cooperation and exchange in history. It shows us how important it is to learn about and respect each other’s traditions, and that different cultures can work together to create amazing things. 8. What was spread from China to the West according to paragraph 3? A. Silk and gold. B. Tea and papermaking. C. Spices and silver. D. New ideas of science. 9. What is the right order of the following facts from the passage? ① Zhang Qian traveled west with silk. ② Art and language were shared along the Silk Road. ③ Traders from China and the West exchanged things ④ The Chinese were ordered to keep the secret of making silk. A. ①→④→③→② B. ①→③→④→② C. ④→①→③→② D. ④→③→②→① 10. What does the underlined word “distinctive” mean in paragraph 4? A. Special. B. Public. C. Popular. D. Strong. 11. What does the story of the Silk Road mainly tell us? A. The change of world trade. B. The introduction of silk cloth. C. The influence of technology in history. D. The importance of cross-cultural communication. D In a very important journey to make space travel better for the environment, scientists have successfully launched LignoSat, the world’s first wooden satellite, aboard a SpaceX rocket. The satellite is going on a trip to bring more things to the International Space Station (ISS), where it will be launched into orbit in the coming month. The pioneering project was developed by Kyoto University scientists and Sumitomo Forestry, which is a big step in finding new ways to be good for the environment when we use technology in space. LignoSat’s purpose is to see whether wood could be a proper material in space. The satellite is set to orbit Earth for six months, staying strong in the tough space environment while scientists watch how well it holds up. Wood, surprisingly strong in space due to the absence of oxygen and water, could offer a solution to a significant problem facing the satellite industry: metal pieces from retired satellites re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. Traditional metal satellites often generate metal particles upon burning up, but LignoSat, designed to break up harmlessly on re-entry, has the potential to avoid this environmental impact altogether. Koji Murata, a professor from Kyoto University who studies forests, said that because wood could last a long time without oxygen, it might be a good material to use for spaceships, reducing environmental harm when the satellite returns to Earth. The satellite was put in a specialized container (容器) by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and flew into space safely, according to a post on the Internet. Sumitomo Forestry’s spokesperson said the satellite’s journey went well and that it would soon arrive at the ISS, where it will then be launched into space. 12. What can be learned about LignoSat? A. It’s made of metal. B. It’s a wooden satellite. C. It looks like a SpaceX rocket. D. It’s near the International Space Station 13. What is the main purpose of LignoSat? A. To make the journey to space faster. B. To discover water sources in space. C. To bring space materials back to Earth. D. To test if wood is suitable for use in space. 14. What benefit does wood offer compared to metal for satellites according to paragraph 3? A. It is more environment-friendly. B. It can be found more easily. C. It provides more strength. D. It is cheaper. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. ISS: Wooden Addition B. LignoSat: Beyond Profit C. First Wooden Satellite: Eco-Space Travel D. SpaceX: Green Satellite Launch 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Plastic pollution is a serious problem, and it’s getting worse. Plastic can stay for a long time.

I didn’t want to do it. I was absolutely terrified. But I thought it could let more people know about my growing business. I was told I would do a two- or three-minute speech. And it would be “no big deal”. From the moment I agreed, I started writing my speech. I would read my speech to my son. He must have heard me repeat that speech a hundred times. I would write and rewrite. I’d wake up in the middle of the night with a great line to add. I wanted to get it right. I wanted to be informative. I wanted to be helpful. I felt like my business depended on this three-minute speech. On the day of the panel, I walked into the event hall. I asked Bill Vadino, the Executive Director, “How many people are coming today?” Without skipping a beat, he said, “Over one hundred people are coming today. They are all so excited for the small-business panel.” He said it as if that would ease my mind. It did not. I regretted I had asked. Then, I heard, “Can everyone please take their seats?” As I sat there looking out over the crowd, I heard Bill proceed to introduce key audience members. He said, “I’d like to thank the mayor (市长) of Kirkland for joining us today. Our local state representatives (州议员) are here. I’d like to welcome the president (总裁) of the Seattle Seahawks and the president of Puget Sound Energy.” What now? Who? The mayor? The president of the Seattle Seahawks? What is happening here? These very important people are going to listen to me? A thirty-six-year-old, single mom with a new small business? What could I possibly have to say that they want to hear? 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Filled with fear, I took my notes and walked to the stage. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the speech, I felt worried, but suddenly a burst of applause (掌声) shocked me. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 丰城九中2024-2025学年高一年级下学期期末考试英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟 试卷总分：150分 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A,B,C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你将有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．What has the speakers’ grandmother been doing all morning?

I looked out at the crowd, and there were some familiar and strange faces. I tried to remember my lines, but my mind went blank for a moment. Then I took a deep breath and started speaking. To my surprise, as I continued, the words began to flow naturally. I talked about my journey as a small business owner, the challenges I faced, and how passion and hard work helped me move forward. I could see people nodding and smiling. After the speech, I felt worried, but suddenly a burst of applause shocked me. I stood there in disbelief. The mayor and other important people were clapping! One of them even came up to me after the event and said, “That was inspiring.” I realized that stepping out of my comfort zone had not only helped my business grow but also given me confidence I never knew I had. From that day on, I learned that sometimes fear is just a barrier we need to break through. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
