The fantastic lantern fair there was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产), lighting up the world and becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. Do you know where it is? Yes, it’s Zigong. ①The Zigong Lantern Fair dates back to the Tang Dynasty. “Making a huge lantern requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.” Wan added. The lantern of a sundial is the most eye-catching in the fair this year—an old tool used for telling time. It has a round plate with numbers showing hours and a stick stands in the middle. It was made by Wan’s team and took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike other lanterns, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI and mechanical engineering (机械工程). ②They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements. ③What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “The traditional theme is about dragon, phoenix (凤), flowers, animals and folk stories. Now, anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show,” said Wan, “④However, among the lanterns used worldwide during Christmas and light shows, the traditional patterns are used most.” It’s amazing that Zigong Lanterns have reached over 80 countries. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely, but how to bring the continuous creativity into it remains a challenge. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future. 5．What does the lantern of sundial like according to the passage?

Their idea came from the famous painting A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains by Wang Ximeng. The mural was created on the wall of Changchun No. 150 High School’s art classroom. It was completed by 21 students from this school under the guidance of their teacher, Duan Yingzi. The mural is nearly 3.5 meters high and 11 meters long. This piece of artwork has amazed a lot of people on the Internet. According to the teacher, creating this mural is part of the school’s special lessons. The process of the creation includes drawing an outline (轮廓), making relief, painting base colors, and then finishing the final artwork. Most of the students in this group had no painting experience. Their teacher helped them learn the painting skills and practice painting many times. The teacher explained that the most difficult part of creating this mural was the color mixing, “It took us over a month to finish the outline and relief work. In the following two to three months, we focused on perfecting the color mixing,” she said. After trying again and again, they finally achieved this great goal. Although there is a difference in color compared with that of Wang Ximeng’s painting, the students are still very pleased with the final result. The difference is not so significant (显著的). The work still looks very beautiful. “In the past, students could only see the artwork in books. And they were unable to fully experience its beauty. By drawing the painting, students can have a deeper understanding of the ancient Chinese artists’ wisdom (智慧),” Duan said. 17．Where can find the relief mural in this school?

I could understand and communicate in English, but my writing was often full of mistakes. To deal with this problem, I made a study plan to improve my grammar. I started by reviewing the basic (基础的) grammar rules. I found out that I never really understood the rules to begin with. For example, I would often mix up verb tenses. To fix this, I spent a few weeks going over the basics. It was a little boring at first, but it made a huge difference. One of the turning points for me was when I began keeping a grammar journal (日志). Whenever I made a mistake, whether in writing or speaking, I would write it down along with the correct way to use the grammar. I couldn’t tell the differences between the past perfect tense and the simple past. Writing out the differences and practicing sentences in my journal helped me better understand and remember the rules. Gradually, I saw fewer and fewer of those mistakes in my tests. All in all, the key to improving your English, or any subject really, is to find out your weaknesses and work hard on them. It might be boring at first. But if you keep working, you’ll see progress. Remember, every mistake is just a chance to learn something new. 25．What did Zhang Ruoshui make mistakes in? A．Listening. B．Speaking. C．Reading. D．Writing. 26．According to the passage, which is following is NOT true? A．Zhang couldn’t use verb tenses correctly. B．Zhang hardly made mistakes in her tests. C．Going over the basic grammar rules is not fun. D．Zhang wrote the correct usage of the grammar rules in her journal. 27．What is the writer’s main advice on learning English? A．Learning from mistakes. B．Keeping a grammar journal. C．Reviewing helps a lot. D．Working hard on grammar. 28．What can we infer from the passage? A．Zhang was an excellent student. B．Zhang was clever but lazy. C．Zhang was smart and hard-working. D．Zhang was always good at English. （重庆市第八中学校2024-2025学年九年级上学期期中 ） Bassanio looked at the three boxes, but he did not read the writing on them. He looked at the gold and silver. “The world is tricked by appearances,” he said. “People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold, silver, and jewels. People always agree with those who speak well, even if they say foolish things. Many people who seem brave are real cowards (懦夫). How often do we believe in leaders who turn out to be short-sighted?” Then Bassanio added, “No, I do not want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver. I will choose the lead (铅) box with its ordinary color. It speaks more to me than all the gold and silver in the world. Please give me the key to the lead box. Let happiness be mine.” Bassanio said to himself. One of the servants gave him the key, and he went to the box and opened it. The three boxes were left by Portia’s father who had passed away. He told her daughter who chose the box with her picture would be her husband. Seeing that, Portia was too excited to say a word, looking at Bassanio with her eyes sparkling (闪烁) like shining stars.

In 2017, he won the Turing Award (图灵奖) for inventing the World Wide Web. He was born in London, England in 1955. When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21. Tim started working on early computers. At that time, they were much bigger than now. He worked in England and then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it “talk” to other computers? There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others. they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that. Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today. Most inventors want to become rich. But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America.

Do you know where it is?

The lantern of a sundial is the most eye-catching in the fair this year—an old tool used for telling time. It has a round plate with numbers showing hours and a stick stands in the middle. It was made by Wan’s team and took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process.

Now, anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show,” said Wan, “④However, among the lanterns used worldwide during Christmas and light shows, the traditional patterns are used most.” It’s amazing that Zigong Lanterns have reached over 80 countries.

Recently, it’s been my pleasure to listen to many different kinds of English-language music. What kind of music do you like best? Jazz, country or rock? I like country music best because it is easy to learn. It first became popular in the southern part of the United States in the 1920s. This kind of music shows us the unique attitude that Americans hold towards life. Country music is like a kind of pop music with American characteristics. Listening to songs in English can cultivate (培养) our knowledge of the English language. I always take notes about the lyrics while listening to English-language songs. For example, my favorite song is Taylor Swift’s Sweeter Than Fiction, which was first released in 2013. The song is about the rise-to-fame story of Paul Potts, who won Britain’s Got Talent (《英国达人秀》) in 2007. Its lyrics are very inspiring (鼓舞人心的). I wrote them down to motivate myself. By listening to this song, I can remind myself to follow my dreams. If I never give up, they will come true some day. I once copied the lyrics of the song Dream It Possible and sent them to one of my best friends who had failed an important exam. I believe everyone can benefit from listening to music. When I’m listening to music, I write down new words, remember their pronunciations and spell them over and over again. In this way, I have expanded (扩大) my vocabulary.

In the evening, I went to the landing place. “Dear Father,” I said politely. “Have you found Belinda’s parents yet?” “Not yet, my dear.” He shook his head. I felt relaxed. I didn’t want to meet Belinda’s parents — they might be ten times as loud and bossy (专横的) as she was. But Belinda had followed me. “Not yet?” she shouted. “Why not? I’ll send them a message! They’ll listen to me!” Belinda ran to the radio. She shouted into it so loudly that I had to cover all my four ears. “Mummy! Daddy! I’m on an awful spaceship full of purple people!

Daddy!” Belinda’s parents were even uglier than she was, but they looked polite. “Hello, dear,” the woman said. “We’ re sorry we kept you waiting.” We smiled as the three of them boarded their spaceship. “Goodbye!” shouted Belinda. “Goodbye!

Their idea came from the famous painting A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains by Wang Ximeng. The mural was created on the wall of Changchun No. 150 High School’s art classroom. It was completed by 21 students from this school under the guidance of their teacher, Duan Yingzi. The mural is nearly 3.5 meters high and 11 meters long. This piece of artwork has amazed a lot of people on the Internet. According to the teacher, creating this mural is part of the school’s special lessons. The process of the creation includes drawing an outline (轮廓), making relief, painting base colors, and then finishing the final artwork. Most of the students in this group had no painting experience. Their teacher helped them learn the painting skills and practice painting many times. The teacher explained that the most difficult part of creating this mural was the color mixing, “It took us over a month to finish the outline and relief work. In the following two to three months, we focused on perfecting the color mixing,” she said. After trying again and again, they finally achieved this great goal. Although there is a difference in color compared with that of Wang Ximeng’s painting, the students are still very pleased with the final result. The difference is not so significant (显著的). The work still looks very beautiful. “In the past, students could only see the artwork in books. And they were unable to fully experience its beauty. By drawing the painting, students can have a deeper understanding of the ancient Chinese artists’ wisdom (智慧),” Duan said. 17．Where can find the relief mural in this school?

I could understand and communicate in English, but my writing was often full of mistakes. To deal with this problem, I made a study plan to improve my grammar. I started by reviewing the basic (基础的) grammar rules. I found out that I never really understood the rules to begin with. For example, I would often mix up verb tenses. To fix this, I spent a few weeks going over the basics. It was a little boring at first, but it made a huge difference. One of the turning points for me was when I began keeping a grammar journal (日志). Whenever I made a mistake, whether in writing or speaking, I would write it down along with the correct way to use the grammar.

He looked at the gold and silver. “The world is tricked by appearances,” he said. “People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold, silver, and jewels. People always agree with those who speak well, even if they say foolish things. Many people who seem brave are real cowards (懦夫). How often do we believe in leaders who turn out to be short-sighted?” Then Bassanio added, “No, I do not want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver. I will choose the lead (铅) box with its ordinary color. It speaks more to me than all the gold and silver in the world. Please give me the key to the lead box. Let happiness be mine.” Bassanio said to himself. One of the servants gave him the key, and he went to the box and opened it. The three boxes were left by Portia’s father who had passed away. He told her daughter who chose the box with her picture would be her husband. Seeing that, Portia was too excited to say a word, looking at Bassanio with her eyes sparkling (闪烁) like shining stars. She could not believe it, until Bassanio opened the box and saw her picture inside it. When he saw the picture, he wondered how anyone could paint such a good picture of her. The writing inside the box told him that he had chosen the right box. It said that he should go to Portia and look into her eyes.

However, his invention has changed our lives. In 2017, he won the Turing Award (图灵奖) for inventing the World Wide Web. He was born in London, England in 1955. When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21.

Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it “talk” to other computers? There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others. they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that. Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together.
