Peter liked Mary and was always close to her. They, more 16 than frightened, watched the spaceship land and saw a door open. When nobody came out, they went to the spaceship and looked into it. In the centre of the floor there was a pile of food. Peter followed Mary into the spaceship and didn’t 17 the door close behind him. The temperature fell quickly and the two young people lost consciousness(知觉). When they woke up, they were 18 to see that they were back by the river again. The spaceship had gone. Their car was nearby. “What 19 ?” said Mary. “Don’t ask me. Perhaps we had a 20 ,” Peter said slowly. “Did you…Did you see a spaceship?” “Yes,” said Mary. “Oh, Peter, we must have seen a UFO coming from another world.” 13．A．Look B．Come C．Stop D．Stand 14．A．arrive B．come C．land D．leave 15．A．cars B．rooms C．houses D．buses 16．A．afraid B．worried C．careful D．curious 17．A．know B．think C．hear D．hope 18．A．happy B．surprised C．interested D．ready 19．A．started B．stopped C．happened D．landed 20．A．rest B．dream C．drink D．walk 3． 阅读理解（40分） A A New World of Transportation (交通) Cars and airplanes changed life in the 20th century. New changes in transportation are making life very different in the 21st century, too. Trains and planes will be faster and more comfortable. Planes will also be bigger. High-speed planes Now high-speed planes travel from London to New York in 3 hours. They carry only 100 passengers. New high-speed planes will be bigger and faster. New large airplanes Today the biggest planes carry about 400 passengers. Soon aircraft companies will build larger planes. These new large planes will carry 600-800 passengers. High-speed trains Many people will take new, high-speed trains instead of planes. Today most trains can go 80 miles per hour (130km/h). China’s high-speed trains can go 180 mph (280km/h). New high-speed trains will go more than 300 mph (480km/h). Germany, China and Japan will be the first countries to use these new high-speed trains. How will life change with these faster planes and trains? People will be able to live in one city and work in another city. Fast trains will also make cities grow. On high-speed trains people could travel from one end of the city to the other in a very short time. Transportation has changed from horses to cars, trains and planes. Now transportation is making our life more comfortable and convenient. What more changes will the 21st century bring? 21．Today the biggest planes carry about ________. A．80 passengers B．130 passengers C．400 passengers D．480 passengers 22．Germany, China and Japan will be the first countries to use new ________. A．high-speed trains B．large airplanes C．high-speed planes D．large trains 23．Where does the passage come from? A．A science fiction. B．A book review. C．An advertisement. D．A magazine. B Because of a lack of trained lifeguards to watch over swimming pools, a team of scientists from Germany has developed an underwater robot to help lifeguards in rescuing (救援) swimmers in emergencies. According to scientists, there are some typical postures that you can use to recognize when someone is in danger. The robot has been tested in a variety of settings including indoor pools and open water. If swimmers’ movements are consistent with drowning (溺亡), the information of the drowning person will be sent out, which is stored in a docking station on the pool floor, and it will be released by a signal from the monitoring cameras. Once the robot receives the signal and reaches its destination, it will carry the endangered person to the surface. What’s more, the robot is designed with a set of moving parts to keep the lifeless person from sliding down as the robot surfaces. When the robot is tested at lakes and other outdoor settings, drones (无人机) took on the task of the monitoring cameras. For rescues in swimming lakes where the visibility is limited, the underwater vehicle must be equipped with acoustic sensors (声音传感器). Sound wave echoes can be used to determine people’s positions so precisely that the robot can autonomously head for the target person and pick them up. When the robot is informed of an emergency (紧急情况), a signal will warn the team immediately. “The current system is 90 centimeters long, 50 centimeters high, and 50 centimeters wide and looks like an underwater submersible that might be used for exploring ship wrecks. The central innovation (创新)of the system is the side folding wings that fix lifeless people on a stretcher without injuring them. To bring them to the surface of the water, balloons are filled with a total of 15 to 20 kilos of buoyancy (浮力). The research team are still doing research on the robot, aiming to make future versions smaller, lighter and less expensive. At present, a patent has already been filed for the aquatic robot. In modified versions, it can take on further tasks—such as offshore and dam wall (坝墙)inspections or being used to monitor the health of fish in fish farms. 24．Why did German scientists invent an underwater robot? A．To help lifeguards to rescue. B．To prevent swimmers practicing. C．To check if there are emergencies. D．To watch over the swimming pools. 25．The expression “be released” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”. A．be sent out B．be controlled C．be taken up D．be delivered 26．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．A Robot to Build Dam Walls B．A Robot to Prevent Drowning C．A Robot to Protect Lifeguards D．A Robot to Improve Swimmers’ Skills C 以及通读全文可知，本文讲述的是一款防溺水机器人。故选B。 With the background sounds of Chinese traditional instruments, Yuanxi, China Daily’s digital (数码的) worker, introduced the 9,000-year-old stone carvings from the Helan Mountains in Ningxia on October 14. “The meeting between the virtual (虚拟的) human and Chinese traditional culture is quite interesting,” an Internet user said on Sina Weibo. With the rise of the virtual space, China’s virtual human industry is growing. According to a research report by QbitAI, it is estimated that the overall market size of China’s virtual humans will reach 270 billion yuan by 2030. Though these virtual humans are not real, they share similar identities with us and work in different fields of our daily lives, including education, broadcasting, and business. For example, in June 2021, Hua Zhibing, a virtual human who can write poems, was officially registered (注册) as a student at Tsinghua University. Throughout the 2022 Winter Olympics, China’s first AI sign language presenter worked for those who have poor hearing. Because of their perfect image and interesting setups, some virtual humans even get a large number of fans and become idols in real life. Luo Tianyi is one of them. As a virtual singer, Luo has over 5 million followers on Sina Weibo. When she held a concert in Shanghai in 2018, more than 10,000 fans waved glow sticks and cheered for her. Gao Yu, a fan of Luo, told Economic Information Daily that “just like chasing human idols, Luo’s fans also hold birthday parties for her and buy the products she recommends.” Generally speaking, virtual humans are often seen as the way to the virtual space and have shown economic value, but there’s still a lot of room for development, reported Xinhua. 27．How does Paragraph 1 serve (服务) the passage? A．By giving the less important information. B．By using the example to introduce the topic. C．By introducing the amazing cultures of China. D．By telling us the importance of virtual humans. 28．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “identities” in Paragraph 4? A．身份 B．义务 C．勇气 D．收获 29．According to the passage we know that virtual humans can ________. A．work in all fields except education B．teach lessons at Tsinghua University C．work for the blind in Winter Olympics D．recommend the products to their fans 30．In which part of a newspaper may this passage appear? A．Sports. B．Stories. C．Science. D．Health. D Scientists have developed a way to read minds, translating unspoken thoughts into written words. It’s the first time it’s been done without having to put anything into the brain. They used artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能). It is the name given to a computer system that is able to “think” for itself and carry out tasks that usually require human intelligence. Scientists used a special scanner (扫描器). The machine can see where blood runs, which shows the parts of the brain that are most active. People taking part in the experiment (实验) listened to the radio for 16 hours as their brains were scanned. The AI tool learned to connect certain brain activity with words they heard. After that, each person was asked to think of a story, and the AI tool managed to pick up these thoughts as they happened. The results had about a 50% accuracy rate (准确率), although the AI found it hard to work out the meaning of pronouns, such as he or she, her or him. For example, it turned “I don’t have my driver’s license yet” into “She has not even started to learn to drive yet.” It could usually understand the meaning of what someone was thinking rather than the exact words. The AI was personalized, so when it had learnt from one person but it was tested on another, it couldn’t understand their thoughts. The scientists, who have been working on the technology for 15 years, say they understand the risks of it being used badly. Scientist Jerry Tang told a newspaper, “We want to make sure people only use these types of technologies when they want to, and that it helps them.” The scientists hope it will help people with certain medical conditions, who are still awake but have lost the ability to speak, to communicate once again. 31．What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 1 refer to (指代)? A．A way. B．Anything. C．The brain. D．AI. 32．What is the main purpose of paragraph 2? A．To describe the process of the experiment. B．To explain the results of the experiment. C．To offer some opinions about the experiment. D．To list the difficulties with the experiment. 33．What does the example in paragraph 3 show? A．The AI is much cleverer than people. B．The AI didn’t start the work as it was ordered. C．The AI couldn’t understand the exact words of what people thought. D．The AI will be well developed according to people’s special needs. 34．What can we learn from the text? A．It is not difficult to take AI under control. B．AI will not be used in a proper way in the future. C．AI is so wise that it can treat people with medical problems. D．It’s expected that AI will help those speechless exchange ideas. 35．What can be the best title for the text? A．High Risks of Using AI. B．Mind-Reading Development. C．Importance of Human Brain. D．Ways of Improving Technology. E 阅读下面短文, 从所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 使短文通畅, 结构完整, 其中有一项为多余选项。 China Brand (品牌) is a very popular phrase now. We trust Chinese brands. 36 Here are some examples.

Their many uses include taking pictures from the sky, observing(观察) wild animals and delivering packages. Now these small flying robots are leading a new farming revolution(革命), according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. When equipped(装备) with cameras and other data-gathering devices, drones provide us with an eye in the sky. Here are a few of the farming-related jobs drones can do. Looking for sick crops Drones can scan(扫描) crops using different kinds of light. Then, they produce multispectral images(多谱图像) that can help us find sickly yellow plants within fields of green. Drones can also detect bacteria(检测细菌) that are harmful to crops in the air from a few kilometers away. Farmers can check the drones’ air samples(样本) and try to find ways to protect their crops before the bacteria get to them. Counting cattle When flying over cattle, drones can track the livestock and find out where fences need fixing. People can also equip drones with thermal imagers(热像仪) and night-vision cameras. This can help farmers look for animals that could harm their cattle. Water watch Most fields aren’t perfectly flat(平坦的). After watering, some places may dry out faster than others. Other spots might not get water at all. Drones can scan the field and make a 3-D map. Using the map, farmers can figure out which parts of a field are dry or need improvement. Spraying pesticide(喷洒农药) Different parts of a field might be uneven(不平坦) or have different altitudes(高度). Drones can check for this when flying above the land. Then, they change their height and therefore spray the correct amount of pesticide over each part of the field. This is more efficient than traditional pesticide spraying. Drones can finish spraying a field up to five times faster than with traditional machinery, according to a study from MIT. 注：每题答案不得超过5个词 41．What are these small flying robots leading now? 42．According to the article, how many the farming-related jobs drones can do? 43．There is an opinion “Drones can track the livestock, but they can’t find out where fences need fixing when flying over cattle.” Do you think it is right? 44．What do the farmers use to figure out which parts of a field are dry or need improvement? 45．Compare to traditional pesticide spraying, what is the advantage of drones? 五．语法填空（10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 China is now making airplanes. The first Chinese-made airplane with 46 (passenger) took off from Shanghai on Sunday and landed at Beijing. The C919 plane 47 (make) by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Ltd. This is shortened to “COMAC”. China’s president called the C919 aircraft a “triumph (巨大成功) of Chinese innovation (革新)”. Newspapers in China called it “a symbol of industrial skill and 48 (nation) pride”. A passenger said: “The flight was extremely smooth, 49 (comfort) and memorable. I’ll remember it for some time to come.” COMAC hopes to compete 50 airline industry giants (大公司), like Boeing and Airbus. It started developing the C919 in 2008. Production began in 2011. It was not passed to fly commercially (商业化的) in China 51 September 2022. COMAC’s 52 (one) customer was China Eastern Airlines. COMAC plans 53 (build) 150 planes each year for the next five years. It has orders for more than 1,000 C919s from different Chinese airlines. It hopes to get international orders. COMAC 54 (say) its airplane was 55 “important milestone” for China’s aircraft industry. 六．书面表达（20分） 56．科学技术是第一生产力，现在我们处于一个科技飞速发展时代，科技产品就在我们身边，他们无时无刻都在影响着我们的生活，像冰箱、彩电、空调、计算机、机器人、数码相机、智能手机、汽车、无人驾驶汽车(driverless car)、高铁等等，在这些或其它你熟悉的科技产品中，哪一种对我们的生活产生了巨大影响，请以什么 ________ has influenced (影响) our life a lot为题，并根据以下要点和要求用英语写一篇短文。 要点： （1）科学技术的重要性； （2）你认为什么科技影响了我们的生活，它是如何影响我们的生活的； （3）对此你有什么感悟。 要求： （1）把题目补充完整； （2）文中不得出现真实的校名和姓名； （3）书写规范，100 词左右。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 14 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025-2026学年九年级上册英语单元测试 Unit4·提升卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：90分钟，满分：100分） 一．单项选择（12分） 1.—We must work hard as a team, or we will fail. —Yes.

A．A Robot to Build Dam Walls B．A Robot to Prevent Drowning C．A Robot to Protect Lifeguards D．A Robot to Improve Swimmers’ Skills 【答案】24．A 25．A 26．B 【导语】本文介绍的是防溺水机器人。 24．细节理解题。根据“a team of scientists from Germany has developed an underwater robot to help lifeguards in rescuing (救援) swimmers in emergencies.”可知，为了帮助救生员营救。故选A。 25．词义猜测题。根据“If swimmers’ movements are consistent with drowning (溺亡), the information of the drowning person will be sent out, which is stored in a docking station on the pool floor, and it will be released by a signal from the monitoring cameras.”可知，如果游泳者的动作与溺水一致，溺水者的信息将被发送出去，这些信息存储在游泳池地板上的一个坞站中，并通过监控摄像头的信号发布。因此划线单词的意思是“发出”，与send out一致。故选A。 26．最佳标题题。根据“Because of a lack of trained lifeguards to watch over swimming pools, a team of scientists from Germany has developed an underwater robot to help lifeguards in rescuing (救援) swimmers in emergencies.” C 以及通读全文可知，本文讲述的是一款防溺水机器人。故选B。 With the background sounds of Chinese traditional instruments, Yuanxi, China Daily’s digital (数码的) worker, introduced the 9,000-year-old stone carvings from the Helan Mountains in Ningxia on October 14. “The meeting between the virtual (虚拟的) human and Chinese traditional culture is quite interesting,” an Internet user said on Sina Weibo. With the rise of the virtual space, China’s virtual human industry is growing. According to a research report by QbitAI, it is estimated that the overall market size of China’s virtual humans will reach 270 billion yuan by 2030. Though these virtual humans are not real, they share similar identities with us and work in different fields of our daily lives, including education, broadcasting, and business. For example, in June 2021, Hua Zhibing, a virtual human who can write poems, was officially registered (注册) as a student at Tsinghua University. Throughout the 2022 Winter Olympics, China’s first AI sign language presenter worked for those who have poor hearing. Because of their perfect image and interesting setups, some virtual humans even get a large number of fans and become idols in real life. Luo Tianyi is one of them. As a virtual singer, Luo has over 5 million followers on Sina Weibo. When she held a concert in Shanghai in 2018, more than 10,000 fans waved glow sticks and cheered for her. Gao Yu, a fan of Luo, told Economic Information Daily that “just like chasing human idols, Luo’s fans also hold birthday parties for her and buy the products she recommends.” Generally speaking, virtual humans are often seen as the way to the virtual space and have shown economic value, but there’s still a lot of room for development, reported Xinhua. 27．How does Paragraph 1 serve (服务) the passage? A．By giving the less important information. B．By using the example to introduce the topic. C．By introducing the amazing cultures of China. D．By telling us the importance of virtual humans. 28．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “identities” in Paragraph 4?

It’s the first time it’s been done without having to put anything into the brain. They used artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能). It is the name given to a computer system that is able to “think” for itself and carry out tasks that usually require human intelligence. Scientists used a special scanner (扫描器). The machine can see where blood runs, which shows the parts of the brain that are most active. People taking part in the experiment (实验) listened to the radio for 16 hours as their brains were scanned. The AI tool learned to connect certain brain activity with words they heard. After that, each person was asked to think of a story, and the AI tool managed to pick up these thoughts as they happened. The results had about a 50% accuracy rate (准确率), although the AI found it hard to work out the meaning of pronouns, such as he or she, her or him. For example, it turned “I don’t have my driver’s license yet” into “She has not even started to learn to drive yet.” It could usually understand the meaning of what someone was thinking rather than the exact words. The AI was personalized, so when it had learnt from one person but it was tested on another, it couldn’t understand their thoughts. The scientists, who have been working on the technology for 15 years, say they understand the risks of it being used badly. Scientist Jerry Tang told a newspaper, “We want to make sure people only use these types of technologies when they want to, and that it helps them.” The scientists hope it will help people with certain medical conditions, who are still awake but have lost the ability to speak, to communicate once again. 31．What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 1 refer to (指代)? A．A way. B．Anything. C．The brain. D．AI. 32．What is the main purpose of paragraph 2? A．To describe the process of the experiment. B．To explain the results of the experiment. C．To offer some opinions about the experiment. D．To list the difficulties with the experiment. 33．What does the example in paragraph 3 show? A．The AI is much cleverer than people. B．The AI didn’t start the work as it was ordered. C．The AI couldn’t understand the exact words of what people thought. D．The AI will be well developed according to people’s special needs. 34．What can we learn from the text? A．It is not difficult to take AI under control. B．AI will not be used in a proper way in the future. C．AI is so wise that it can treat people with medical problems. D．It’s expected that AI will help those speechless exchange ideas. 35．What can be the best title for the text? A．High Risks of Using AI. B．Mind-Reading Development. C．Importance of Human Brain. D．Ways of Improving Technology. 【答案】31．D 32．A 33．C 34．D 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍科学家开发出一种读心的方法，将未说出口的想法转化为书面文字。 31．代词指代题。分析“They used artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能). It is the name given to a computer system that is able to ‘think’ for itself and carry out tasks that usually require human intelligence.”可知，他们使用了人工智能，它是一种计算机系统的名称，它能够自己“思考”，并执行通常需要人类智能才能完成的任务。此处It指的是AI，故选D。 32．段落大意题。分析第二段内容可知，本段主要介绍这种特殊的扫描仪的实验过程，故选A。 33．细节理解题。根据“For example, it turned ‘I don’t have my driver’s license yet’ into ‘She has not even started to learn to drive yet.’ It could usually understand the meaning of what someone was thinking rather than the exact words.”可知，例如，它把“我还没有驾照”变成了“她甚至还没有开始学开车。”它通常能理解人们在想什么，而不是确切的话语。故选C。 34．推理判断题。根据“Scientists have developed a way to read minds, translating unspoken thoughts into written words.”和“The scientists hope it will help people with certain medical conditions, who are still awake but have lost the ability to speak, to communicate once again.”可知，可以将将未说出口的想法转化为书面文字，科学家们希望它能帮助那些患有某些疾病的人，那些仍然清醒但失去了说话能力的人，再次与人交流。由此可知，预计人工智能将帮助那些失去语言能力的人交流思想。故选D。 35．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍科学家开发出一种读心的方法，将未说出口的想法转化为书面文字。选项B“读心术的发展”符合主题，故选B。 E 阅读下面短文, 从所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 使短文通畅, 结构完整, 其中有一项为多余选项。 China Brand (品牌) is a very popular phrase now.

Their many uses include taking pictures from the sky, observing(观察) wild animals and delivering packages. Now these small flying robots are leading a new farming revolution(革命), according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. When equipped(装备) with cameras and other data-gathering devices, drones provide us with an eye in the sky. Here are a few of the farming-related jobs drones can do. Looking for sick crops Drones can scan(扫描) crops using different kinds of light. Then, they produce multispectral images(多谱图像) that can help us find sickly yellow plants within fields of green. Drones can also detect bacteria(检测细菌) that are harmful to crops in the air from a few kilometers away. Farmers can check the drones’ air samples(样本) and try to find ways to protect their crops before the bacteria get to them. Counting cattle When flying over cattle, drones can track the livestock and find out where fences need fixing. People can also equip drones with thermal imagers(热像仪) and night-vision cameras. This can help farmers look for animals that could harm their cattle. Water watch Most fields aren’t perfectly flat(平坦的). After watering, some places may dry out faster than others. Other spots might not get water at all. Drones can scan the field and make a 3-D map. Using the map, farmers can figure out which parts of a field are dry or need improvement. Spraying pesticide(喷洒农药) Different parts of a field might be uneven(不平坦) or have different altitudes(高度). Drones can check for this when flying above the land. Then, they change their height and therefore spray the correct amount of pesticide over each part of the field. This is more efficient than traditional pesticide spraying. Drones can finish spraying a field up to five times faster than with traditional machinery, according to a study from MIT. 注：每题答案不得超过5个词 41．What are these small flying robots leading now? 42．According to the article, how many the farming-related jobs drones can do? 43．There is an opinion “Drones can track the livestock, but they can’t find out where fences need fixing when flying over cattle.” Do you think it is right? 44．What do the farmers use to figure out which parts of a field are dry or need improvement? 45．Compare to traditional pesticide spraying, what is the advantage of drones? 【答案】41．A new farming revolution. 42．Four./4. 43．No, I don’t think so. 44．The 3-D map. 45．More efficient and more faster. 【导语】本文介绍了无人机可以做的和农业相关的四项工作。 41．根据“Now these small flying robots are leading a new farming revolution(革命)…”可知现在这些小型飞行机器人正在引领一场新的农业革命。故填A new farming revolution. 42．根据“Looking for sick crops、Counting cattle、Water watch、Spraying pesticide”可知无人机能做四项与农业相关的工作，故填Four./4. 43．根据“When flying over cattle, drones can track the livestock and find out where fences need fixing.”可知当飞过牛群时，无人机可以追踪牲畜，找出需要固定围栏的地方。故填No, I don’t think so. 44．根据“Drones can scan the field and make a 3-D map. Using the map, farmers can figure out which parts of a field are dry or need improvement.”可知无人机可以扫描场地并制作三维地图。使用地图，农民可以找出田地的哪些部分干燥或需要改善。故填The 3-D map. 45．根据“This is more efficient than traditional pesticide spraying. Drones can finish spraying a field up to five times faster than with traditional machinery, according to a study from MIT.”可知，无人机喷洒比传统杀虫剂喷洒要更高效，并且无人机完成喷洒一片土地的速度比传统机器快五倍。这些就是无人机的优势。故填More efficient and more faster. 五．语法填空（10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 China is now making airplanes.
