There are three kinds of typical (典型的) Chinese gardens: imperial (皇家的), private, and landscape gardens.         Most imperial gardens are located (位于) in north China, such as the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Imperial Summer Palace in Chengde. Imperial gardens first appeared as early as the Zhou Dynasty (朝代) in the form of a hunting ground (狩猎场) for emperors. Most of these gardens cover large areas which serve as working, living and playing areas. There are colored paintings, well-designed (精心设计的) buildings, screen walls and stone bridges in those gardens.         Most private gardens are found in the south, especially in cities south of the Yangtze River. They are mostly built at one side or at the back of the houses. There is a large space in the garden with small hills, well-placed rocks, trees and flowers. Around the scene are small open areas with beautifully shaped corridors (走廊) or walls so that the whole scene can be enjoyed. Suzhou shows the most and the best Chinese private gardens.         Landscape gardens are different and are places for the public. There are a number of pleasant natural scenes in landscape gardens. The ancient Chinese named the garden after the beautiful scenes, like the ten West Lake scenes in Hangzhou.

Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·山东菏泽经开区·期中） During ancient times, children didn’t have smart phones, pads or computers to have fun. Instead, they came up with interesting games to play. Click HERE and let’s have a look. Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood. Now in China, the three most famous kites are Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite, and each of them has its own characteristic (特点). Diabolo (空竹) is always made of wood or bamboo and is hollow (空的) in the center. When you put them on ropes, the high-speed rotating (旋转的) diabolo will make a sound. Playing diabolo is a very interesting game and especially popular in North China. The closest thing to watching a movie or TV during ancient times was watching a shadow play (皮影戏). People control puppets behind the screen while singing with music to tell a story. Shadow play was listed as national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2006. Firecrackers have a history of more than 2,000 years. It is said that people burnt bamboo joints (竹节) to make it blast (爆炸) to drive away the beast named Nian in ancient China.

A group of high school students from the US visited the Forbidden City. As their first step on the tour in Beijing, the city brought them great fun and surprises. The Forbidden City lies in the center of Beijing, China. In 1406, the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty began to build the city and it was completed in 1420.

Passage 2 （（24-25九年级上·山东烟台招远市·期中） Today, the name “Chengdu” is widely known, but do you know its other names? Let’s take a journey through the long history of Chengdu based on its names. The City of Tortoise (龟城) In 316 BC, Zhang Yi and Zhang Ruo, generals of the Qin state, built a city wall in Chengdu to better protect its people against enemies. The wall was built in the shape of a huge tortoise, with four gates located in the east, south, west and north, corresponding to (对应) the tortoise’s four feet. The Zhang Yi Tower at the west gate was very tall, while the Zhang Ruo Tower at the east gate was slightly shorter. When the sun rose, the Zhang Ruo Tower looked like the head of a tortoise, and the Zhang Yi Tower looked like its tail. This is how Chengdu got this nickname (绰号). Jin City (锦城) About four or five hundred years later, during the time of Shu-Han, Chengdu was given ad new nickname—Jin City. Chengdu has had a well-developed brocade industry (织锦业) from early times, as mentioned in Shu Du Fu (《蜀都赋》) written by Yang Xiong. During the Three Kingdoms Period, Liu Bei set up a government-run brocade area around the present Wuhou Shrine (武侯祠) to further develop the brocade industry, leading to Chengdu being known as “Jin City”. Rong City (蓉城) Chengdu is also known as “the City of Hibiscus (芙蓉花)”, shortened to “Rong City”. During the time of the Later Shu, Emperor Meng Chang ordered people to plant hibiscus all along the city wall. Every autumn, the hibiscus flowers would open like brocade. Since then, Chengdu has been known as “Rong City” due to (由于) the beauty of the flowers. 1．Why did Zhang Yi and Zhang Ruo build the city wall in Chengdu? A．To be the emperors of the city. B．To protect the people against enemies. C．To admire the hibiscus flowers. D．To protect the brocade industry. 2．What was the name of Chengdu during the time of Shu-Han? A．The City of Tortoise. B．Jin City. C．Rong City. D．Country in heaven (天府之国). 3．According to the passage, which sentence is RIGHT? A．The Zhang Yi Tower at the east gate was very tall. B．Shu Du Fu was written by Liu Bei. C．Rong City was related (相关的) to Emperor Meng Chang of the later Shu. D．Jin City was related to the shape of the city wall. Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·山东泰安泰山区·期中） Surrounded (围绕) by trees and filled with ponds (池塘) and pools of water, the Chinese village of Ding Wuling should be covered with mosquitoes (蚊子), especially during the summer time. However, it is reported that mosquitoes haven’t been seen here for almost a century. The village with a long history is in the mountains of China’s Fujian Province. There are many special stone houses. But in recent years, the culture and buildings of this village have been overshadowed (使失色) by a mystery — the absence (缺乏) of mosquitoes. It’s unclear whether scientists ever made a survey to get to know this mystery. But most of the people in Ding Wuling believe it has something to do with the toad-shaped (蟾蜍形状的) stone. They believe that the “god toad” prevents the mosquitoes from entering the village. Another popular explanation (解释) has to do with the local villagers’ habit of collecting rubbish and burying (埋) it on the hillside near the village. When Chinese newspaper People’s Daily first reported the mystery of this mosquito-free village, the local villagers hoped that experts (专家) could soon offer a certain answer to the mystery and put Ding Wuling on the tourist map. Unluckily, I haven’t been able to find newer information about Ding Wuling and its mosquito mystery, so it’s possible that the whole thing was made up to help develop tourism in the area. Then again, there might be something special about that toad-shaped stone. Who knows? 1．What is the village known for? A．The fact that there are no mosquitoes in this village. B．The village’s special stone houses. C．The village is in the mountains. D．The good weather during the summer time. 2．What does the underlined word “it” refer to? A．The stone. B．The mosquito.

A．To tell us the good habits of people in Ding Wuling. B．To tell us something about the mystery of the mosquito-free village. C．To suggest a good place to travel. D．To explain people’s findings in Ding Wuling. 主题04 人与社会——中外节日 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·山东菏泽经开区·期中） Every year we celebrate the Qingming Festival on April 4 or April 5. But in ancient times, before the Qingming Festival, there was another festival called the Cold Food Festival (寒食节). Why did people celebrate it? Here is a story behind it. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Chong Er was one of the sons of King Xian of Jin (晋献公). For some reasons, he was forced to leave his country and lived a hard life. One day, Chong Er really got hungry and nearly fainted (晕倒). Jie Zitui, one of his followers, cut a piece of meat from his leg and then cooked it for his master. Chong Er was so touched that he promised to reward (奖赏) Jie Zitui after he became king. But later he forgot it. By the time he realized it, Jie Zitui had already given up his position (职位) and lived in Mountain Mian. However, Chong Er, King Wen of Jin, still went to search for him and wanted to give him a position. But Jie Zitui refused. In order to invite him out, the king set a fire on Mountain Mian. However, after the fire was put out several days later, Jie Zitui was found dead. King Wen of Jin made a ban on using fire on the day of Jie Zitui’s death every year in memory of Jie Zitui. So people couldn’t use fire and only ate cold food during the Cold Food Festival.

According to market data (市场数据), the sale of energy drinks increased by 73% between 2018 and 2023. And it’s not just adults buying them. Research done in 2024 by a market research company, called Gitnux, found that about a third of children aged 12 to 17 drink energy drinks often. Many people are quite worried about this, as studies show that the use of energy drinks among children may lead to higher levels of anxiety (焦虑) and stress. This is partly because of the high levels of caffeine (咖啡因) and sugar in these drinks, which can influence the nervous system (神经系统) and sleep. Because of this, some health organizations in Denmark are calling for a ban (禁令) on the sale of energy drinks to people under the age of 18. Denmark is not the first country to introduce such a ban. The UK has also been talking about a ban for some time. While a ban hasn’t been introduced yet, many supermarkets in the country have already chosen to stop selling these drinks to children under the age of 16. 1．Which of the following is NOT the reason that the energy drinks are becoming more and more popular around the world?

Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·山东青岛胶州·期中） When you were at school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was spend your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sports to play and fun to have. Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children do take up part-time jobs. It’s one of those things that is seen almost as a rite of passage (成人仪式). It’s a taste of independence. Teenagers agree that it teaches useful lessons about working with adults and also about using your money wisely. Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. One 13 year-old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, said she enjoyed her job because she was making money and it helped her dare to speak to other people. Research has shown that not taking on a Saturday or holiday job could be bad for a person later on. But the number of school children in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years. Many young people feel going out to work will influence their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results—and a good job in the long term. However, doing part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives. They just need to get the right balance (平衡) between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest. 1．Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph?

Passage 3 （23-24九年级上·山东德州天衢新区·期中） Sometimes the worst thing about feeling afraid is that you don’t know what to do. Here are the top 3 ways to feel better: 1. Do something, like playing outside, listening to music or watching TV. 2. Talk to your parents. 3. Talk to a friend. Talking to a friend can help, especially if that person can give you useful advice. About half the kids had been teased (取笑) about being afraid, so encourage your friend today and maybe he or she will encourage you tomorrow! Here’s some very useful advice from kids: If you get scared at night, Monica, 10, suggests listening to the radio when you’re falling asleep. And Naruto, also 10, recommends writing or drawing what you’re afraid of and then ripping (撕) it to pieces. 8-year-old Jessica finds it helpful to take a deep breath when you’re afraid.

You probably think the music that they like is old and dull but the songs you like are more popular and interesting. But researchers at the University of Cambridge, the UK, collected data (资料) from more than 250,000 people over the past 10 years. They noticed that as people age, their social circumstances (环境) change, and so does their music taste. There are three musical periods that people pass through as they grow. The first period comes in the teenage years, during which time people like rock because people regard themselves as independent individuals (个体). But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyle changes—they get to know more people and want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they prefer pop which is often played at parties. When middle age comes, people like to listen to jazz and classical. They also like country and folk, “During this period of life, many people often feel tired because of their work and family, and there is a requirement for relaxing and emotive (动情的) music.” said Jason Smith, a research member. You must be thinking: “Aren’t there old people who still love rock music?” Of course there are. But Jason Smith explained that their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. “We use music for different reasons,” he said, and at that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youths. 1．What does the underlined word “dull” in paragraph 1 most probably mean? A．boring B．tiny C．valuable D．safe 2．What kind of music does a teenager probably like? A．Pop. B．Rock. C．Jazz. D．Classical. 3．What does the underlined word “they” refer to?

D．The people who move into early adulthood. 4．According to Jason Smith, why do the people in middle age like to listen to the country music? A．Because this kind of music can make them feel relaxed. B．Because they want to build close relationships with others. C．Because they regard themselves as independent individuals. D．Because they want to make more friends with others in this way. Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·山东淄博张店区·期中） What kind of opera do you like? As a Chinese, I prefer Beijing Opera. I always go to enjoy it in my spare time. Beijing Opera is a performance art dating back to the late 18th century. It usually includes singing, acting, and kungfu. Beijing Opera tells stories of history, society and daily life. By watching it, people can not only have fun, but also gain plenty of knowledge. The first Chinese film, made in 1905, was recording of the Beijing Opera The battle of Dingjunshan. Tan Xinpei, who was a master of Beijing Opera, played the leading role in the film. In the early 20th century, Beijing Opera was highly valued, and many world-famous stars appeared. Besides Beijing Opera, I also like Italian (意大利的) operas that can make me feel relaxed. There are around 800 opera houses in Italy. Even if you are not an opera-lover, you may hear about some famous Italian composers (作曲家), such as Vivaldi and Puccini. China and Italy are far away from each other, but their opera traditions are interconnected more or less. Italian composer Giacomo Puccini’s last opera Turandot is set in ancient China and follows Prince Calaf, who falls in love with Princess Turandot.

It’s happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio, and we may immediately think about a time in our past. But what is it that makes music so effective at doing this? There are a few things that link tunes (曲调) with our memories. Paul Donoghue, writing for ABC News, reminds us that the emotional nature of music helps make it memorable. And Kelly Jakubowski, an assistant professor, adds that music and singing are often part of many important life events, they can also easily draw our attention. Then the music and these life events are likely to be encoded together in our memories. Music itself is easy to remember. Oral cultures (口述文明) have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs. The rhythm (节奏), melody (旋律) and alliteration in lyrics all serve as memory aids. Pop music especially can be about a special moment in time. As Shahram Heshmat, writing in Psychology Today highlights, we often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music. Familianty is important. The more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is at bringing back memories because we like listening to a song over and over again better than watching a film or a TV program in the same time. Heshmat points out that our musical preferences usually form during our teens, and this is connected with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump”, where we make our strongest memories between the ages of 10 and 30. 1．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．life events B．music and singing C．Paul Donoghue and Kelly Jakubowski D．Kelly Jakubowski and the assistant professor 2．According to the passage, we can know that ________. A．we often become familiar with music because we like its rhythm B．our musical preferences usually form when we are old C．our strongest memories are made between the ages of 10 and 30 D．we usually watch a film or a TV program over and over again 3．The underlined word “memorable” in Paragraph 2 means “ ________” in Chinese. A．很感兴趣 B．令人难忘 C．反复考虑 D．传递信息 4．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A．Shahram Heshmat works for Psychology Today. B．Oral cultures have passed important knowledge through songs. C．We may think about a time in our past when a song is played on the radio. D．Paul thinks we become familiar with a piece of music because of its background music. 5．The passage probably comes from ________. A．sports report B．a storybook C．science magazine D．an advertisement poster 主题03 人与自我——运动与健康 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·山东济南历下区·期中） Jody Mikhail goes to Cumberland Valley High School in Pennsylvania. She is a senior. A few years ago, a sign for a new girls” wrestling (摔跤) club caught her eye. Jody decided to try it. “I fell in love with it the first time,” she said. Unlike before, she’s hardly alone. Girls’ wrestling has become the fastest-growing high school sport in the US. In 1990, there were just over 100 high school girl wrestlers in the whole country. Before 2018, just six states had approved (认可) it. Now the sport has been officially approved in more than 40 states. In the United States, there are four times as many girls’ wrestling teams today as there were 10 years ago. There are now over 50,000 high school girl wrestlers. That’s five times as many as 10 years ago. This was the biggest increase for the sport these years. Hundreds of girls wrestled in Pennsylvania’s first official state tournament (锦标赛), including Mikhail. In the past, girls often had no choice but to wrestle boys. There were very few girls wrestling in tournaments. “There were never tournaments like this,” said Savannah Witt, a state champion wrestler who has wrestled for 10 years. “It’s amazing. I’ve been used to running into the same three faces at tournaments. Now although I don’t know half these girls, it’s exciting to wrestling them.” Wrestling is something of a niche sport, meaning that it’s popular among a small part of the population. But we are finding out now that the world is changing. Some see the rise of girls’ wrestling as part of a larger change in women’s sports. Although wrestling is still more popular among boys than girls, there may be as many girls as boys taking part in the sport one day. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving advice. B．By asking questions. C．By giving an example. D．By comparing facts. 2．What is the purpose (目的) of paragraph 2? A．To introduce wrestling. B．To list the numbers of wrestlers.

A．小众的 B．友好的 C．精致的 D．普通的 5．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The dream to be a wrestler. B．The choices of women’s sports. C．The famous girls’ wrestling club. D．The popularity of wrestling in girls. Passage 2 （23-24九年级上·山东济南天桥区·期中） People are always trying to live a healthy life. You might have read so much on this topic.

This kind of object has never been found in other sites of the Bronze Age in China. The shape of this dragon is a bit special as its head is like a tiger’s head, and its ears are round like those of a tiger. But it has two long horns (犄角) on its head. Its mouth is also special with something like a knife in it. And its body is like a flying dragon. According to reports, this statue is about 80 cm high, but it’s still not a complete bronze. Experts have found that this statue has no supports in front of it, and its main body exceeds (超出) the base. So it probably needs to lean (倚靠) on other objects to keep its balance (平衡). So where is the missing part? After searching, experts made another great discovery about half a meter away: the top-shaped snake-like figure (雕像). The 1.5-meter-high body is supported on a square base with both hands, and turns upward. It also needs to lean on other object to keep balance. Now some experts guess that the two statues are probably the same set of objects. If the guess proves to be true, this will become another huge Sanxingdui Ruins Site since the late 1920s. It all began in 1929 when a farmer was digging a hole there and it opened the door to an unknown culture of 3,000 to 5,000 years old. 1．What can we know about the bronze statue? A．Its shape is like a tiger. B．There are two long horns on its mouth. C．It has been found in another sites of the Bronze Age in China. D．It was found at the Sanxingdui Ruins Site in Guanghan, Sichuan Province. 2．Why does the statue need to lean on other objects according to the experts? A．Because its main body is too long. B．Because it has to keep its balance. C．Because it has supports behind it. D．Because it is an independent bronze. 3．What can we infer from the experts’ guess? A．The missing part of the dragon-shaped is probably the snake-like figure. B．The snake-like figure is the first bronze that has been found at Sanxingdui Ruins Site. C．The snake-like figure is quite different from the tiger-shaped figure. D．More than 50,000 ancient objects have been found at the Sanxingdui Ruins Site. 4．What is the main idea of this passage? A．The guess of some experts about the bronze statue. B．The missing part of a dragon-shaped bronze statue. C．The discovery of a dragon-shaped bronze statue. D．The discovery of Chinese unknown culture. 主题05 人与自然——动物 Passage 1 （23-24九年级上·山东济宁邹城·期中） The swan is a large, beautiful bird with a long neck, big white wings and wide feet. It is a great flyer because of its strong wings. It is also a good swimmer, swimming quickly and nicely through the water. But on dry land, it’s a different story—the swan’s heavy body and slow walk make it look a bit funny! Swans live anywhere there is fresh water, like lakes and slow-moving rivers. They eat water plants and small fish. Swans are very territorial (地盘性的), which means that they protect their homes against any strangers. When swans want to look strong, they stand up tall, show their long necks and open their big wings while letting out big noises. In spring, swans make a nest (巢) of tree leaves near the water. They often use the same nest year after year, repairing it when egg laying time comes round. The mother swan lays between five and eight eggs in the nest, and then sits on them to keep them warm and safe until about a month later, cygnets are born. Sometimes the father swan will take the first-born cygnets out onto the water while the mother stays to look after the other eggs. The cygnets are looked after by both parents, who will fight other animals, people or even boats if they think their cygnets are in danger! 1．To make them look strong, swans _________. A．swim quickly B．stand on one leg C．move their necks often D．open their wings 2．About swans’nests, we know that _________.

Let’s take a journey through the long history of Chengdu based on its names. The City of Tortoise (龟城) In 316 BC, Zhang Yi and Zhang Ruo, generals of the Qin state, built a city wall in Chengdu to better protect its people against enemies. The wall was built in the shape of a huge tortoise, with four gates located in the east, south, west and north, corresponding to (对应) the tortoise’s four feet. The Zhang Yi Tower at the west gate was very tall, while the Zhang Ruo Tower at the east gate was slightly shorter. When the sun rose, the Zhang Ruo Tower looked like the head of a tortoise, and the Zhang Yi Tower looked like its tail. This is how Chengdu got this nickname (绰号). Jin City (锦城) About four or five hundred years later, during the time of Shu-Han, Chengdu was given ad new nickname—Jin City. Chengdu has had a well-developed brocade industry (织锦业) from early times, as mentioned in Shu Du Fu (《蜀都赋》) written by Yang Xiong. During the Three Kingdoms Period, Liu Bei set up a government-run brocade area around the present Wuhou Shrine (武侯祠) to further develop the brocade industry, leading to Chengdu being known as “Jin City”. Rong City (蓉城) Chengdu is also known as “the City of Hibiscus (芙蓉花)”, shortened to “Rong City”. During the time of the Later Shu, Emperor Meng Chang ordered people to plant hibiscus all along the city wall. Every autumn, the hibiscus flowers would open like brocade.

However, it is reported that mosquitoes haven’t been seen here for almost a century. The village with a long history is in the mountains of China’s Fujian Province. There are many special stone houses. But in recent years, the culture and buildings of this village have been overshadowed (使失色) by a mystery — the absence (缺乏) of mosquitoes. It’s unclear whether scientists ever made a survey to get to know this mystery. But most of the people in Ding Wuling believe it has something to do with the toad-shaped (蟾蜍形状的) stone. They believe that the “god toad” prevents the mosquitoes from entering the village. Another popular explanation (解释) has to do with the local villagers’ habit of collecting rubbish and burying (埋) it on the hillside near the village. When Chinese newspaper People’s Daily first reported the mystery of this mosquito-free village, the local villagers hoped that experts (专家) could soon offer a certain answer to the mystery and put Ding Wuling on the tourist map. Unluckily, I haven’t been able to find newer information about Ding Wuling and its mosquito mystery, so it’s possible that the whole thing was made up to help develop tourism in the area. Then again, there might be something special about that toad-shaped stone. Who knows? 1．What is the village known for? A．The fact that there are no mosquitoes in this village. B．The village’s special stone houses. C．The village is in the mountains. D．The good weather during the summer time. 2．What does the underlined word “it” refer to? A．The stone. B．The mosquito. C．The rubbish. D．The village. 3．The mention of the People’s Daily newspaper in the passage serves to ________ . A．provide a fact that the mosquito mystery is widely known B．suggest that the media (媒体) made up the whole story C．further show the locals’ hope for scientific explanation D．give people a way to show their own opinions 4．Why did the writer write the passage? A．To tell us the good habits of people in Ding Wuling. B．To tell us something about the mystery of the mosquito-free village. C．To suggest a good place to travel. D．To explain people’s findings in Ding Wuling. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了中国福建省丁屋岭村的独特现象——尽管村庄环境适宜蚊子滋生，但一个世纪以来却没有蚊子出现，并且分析了可能的原因。 1．细节理解题。根据“But in recent years, the culture and buildings of this village have been overshadowed (使失色) by a mystery — the absence (缺乏) of mosquitoes.”可知，近年来，这个村庄的文化和建筑因一个谜团而黯然失色——那就是没有蚊子，这是村子知名的原因。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据“the local villagers’ habit of collecting rubbish and burying (埋) it on the hillside near the village.”可知，当地村民收集垃圾并将它埋在村子附近的山坡上，可知此处的“它”指垃圾。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“When Chinese newspaper People’s Daily first reported the mystery of this mosquito-free village, the local villagers hoped that experts (专家) could soon offer a certain answer to the mystery and put Ding Wuling on the tour-ist map.”可知，《人民日报》首次报道这个无蚊村的谜团时，当地村民希望专家们能很快给出一个确切的答案。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据“Unluckily, I haven’t been able to find newer information about Ding Wuling and its mosquito mystery”可知，作者表示他还没有找到关于丁屋岭及其无蚊之谜的新信息，结合全文可知，作者写这篇给文章的目的主要是告诉大家关于这个无蚊村庄的谜团。故选B。 主题04 人与社会——中外节日 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·山东菏泽经开区·期中） Every year we celebrate the Qingming Festival on April 4 or April 5. But in ancient times, before the Qingming Festival, there was another festival called the Cold Food Festival (寒食节). Why did people celebrate it? Here is a story behind it. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Chong Er was one of the sons of King Xian of Jin (晋献公). For some reasons, he was forced to leave his country and lived a hard life. One day, Chong Er really got hungry and nearly fainted (晕倒). Jie Zitui, one of his followers, cut a piece of meat from his leg and then cooked it for his master. Chong Er was so touched that he promised to reward (奖赏) Jie Zitui after he became king. But later he forgot it. By the time he realized it, Jie Zitui had already given up his position (职位) and lived in Mountain Mian. However, Chong Er, King Wen of Jin, still went to search for him and wanted to give him a position. But Jie Zitui refused. In order to invite him out, the king set a fire on Mountain Mian. However, after the fire was put out several days later, Jie Zitui was found dead. King Wen of Jin made a ban on using fire on the day of Jie Zitui’s death every year in memory of Jie Zitui. So people couldn’t use fire and only ate cold food during the Cold Food Festival. Later, because the time of two festivals was close, the Cold Food Festival has been celebrated together with the Qingming Festival since the Tang Dynasty. 1．When was the Cold Food Festival in ancient times? A．Before the Qingming Festival. B．During the Qingming Festival. C．After the Qingming Festival. 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Jie Zitui refused to become the new king.

According to market data (市场数据), the sale of energy drinks increased by 73% between 2018 and 2023. And it’s not just adults buying them. Research done in 2024 by a market research company, called Gitnux, found that about a third of children aged 12 to 17 drink energy drinks often. Many people are quite worried about this, as studies show that the use of energy drinks among children may lead to higher levels of anxiety (焦虑) and stress. This is partly because of the high levels of caffeine (咖啡因) and sugar in these drinks, which can influence the nervous system (神经系统) and sleep. Because of this, some health organizations in Denmark are calling for a ban (禁令) on the sale of energy drinks to people under the age of 18. Denmark is not the first country to introduce such a ban. The UK has also been talking about a ban for some time. While a ban hasn’t been introduced yet, many supermarkets in the country have already chosen to stop selling these drinks to children under the age of 16. 1．Which of the following is NOT the reason that the energy drinks are becoming more and more popular around the world?

There was homework to do, sports to play and fun to have. Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children do take up part-time jobs. It’s one of those things that is seen almost as a rite of passage (成人仪式). It’s a taste of independence. Teenagers agree that it teaches useful lessons about working with adults and also about using your money wisely. Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. One 13 year-old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, said she enjoyed her job because she was making money and it helped her dare to speak to other people. Research has shown that not taking on a Saturday or holiday job could be bad for a person later on. But the number of school children in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years. Many young people feel going out to work will influence their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results—and a good job in the long term. However, doing part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives. They just need to get the right balance (平衡) between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest. 1．Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph? A．Children wanted to work at weekends. B．Children couldn’t play sports at weekends. C．Children had homework to do at weekends. D．Children didn’t want to have fun at weekends. 2．Why do many children take up part-time jobs? A．They want to be adults. B．They don’t need to do homework. C．They can taste delicious food.

A．she didn’t work on Saturdays B．she used to be a shy person C．she shouldn’t have a part-time job D．making money helped her be brave 4．What will happen if children don’t have part-time work? A．They won’t perform well at school. B．They won’t get good exam results at school. C．They will be under more pressure in the future. D．They won’t learn more skills needed in the future. 5．What is the writer’s opinion about part-time jobs? A．Children can have part-time jobs. B．Children can’t have part-time jobs. C．It will be bad for the children’s future. D．Children won’t have enough time to study. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文讲述了青少年兼职工作的好处。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“When you were at school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was spend your weekends going to work.

Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom.”可知，许多孩子从事兼职工作是因为他们可以获得自由感。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“One 13 year-old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, said she enjoyed her job because she was making money and it helped her dare to speak to other people.”可知，工作让她敢于和别人说话，所以可推断出她以前很害羞。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Research has shown that not taking on a Saturday or holiday job could be bad for a person later on.”和倒数第二句“However, doing part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.”可知，研究表明，不参加周六或假日工作会对一个人的未来产生不良影响。同时，做兼职工作是帮助年轻人学习他们未来工作中需要的技能的好方法。因此，如果孩子不做兼职工作，他们将无法学习更多未来所需的技能。故选D。 5．细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句“However, doing part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.”可知，做兼职工作是帮助年轻人学习他们未来工作中需要的技能的好方法。因此，作者认为孩子们可以做兼职工作。故选A。 Passage 3 （23-24九年级上·山东德州天衢新区·期中） Sometimes the worst thing about feeling afraid is that you don’t know what to do.

You probably think the music that they like is old and dull but the songs you like are more popular and interesting. But researchers at the University of Cambridge, the UK, collected data (资料) from more than 250,000 people over the past 10 years. They noticed that as people age, their social circumstances (环境) change, and so does their music taste. There are three musical periods that people pass through as they grow. The first period comes in the teenage years, during which time people like rock because people regard themselves as independent individuals (个体). But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyle changes—they get to know more people and want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they prefer pop which is often played at parties. When middle age comes, people like to listen to jazz and classical. They also like country and folk, “During this period of life, many people often feel tired because of their work and family, and there is a requirement for relaxing and emotive (动情的) music.” said Jason Smith, a research member. You must be thinking: “Aren’t there old people who still love rock music?” Of course there are. But Jason Smith explained that their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. “We use music for different reasons,” he said, and at that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youths. 1．What does the underlined word “dull” in paragraph 1 most probably mean? A．boring B．tiny C．valuable D．safe 2．What kind of music does a teenager probably like? A．Pop. B．Rock. C．Jazz. D．Classical. 3．What does the underlined word “they” refer to?

D．The people who move into early adulthood. 4．According to Jason Smith, why do the people in middle age like to listen to the country music? A．Because this kind of music can make them feel relaxed. B．Because they want to build close relationships with others. C．Because they regard themselves as independent individuals. D．Because they want to make more friends with others in this way. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3 ．D 4．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了人们的音乐品味会随着年龄的增长而变化以及背后影响的原因。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段“You probably think the music that they like is old and dull but the songs you like are more popular and interesting.”可知，可能会认为父母喜欢的音乐又老又无聊，因此“dull”意为“boring无聊的”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“The first period comes in the teenage years, during which time people like rock because people regard themselves as independent individuals (个体).”可知，青少年可能喜欢摇滚音乐。故选B。 3．代词指代题。根据“But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyle changes—they get to know more people and want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they prefer pop which is often played at parties.”可知，进入成年早期的人更喜欢聚会上经常播放的流行音乐。故划线单词“they”指代“进入成年早期的人”。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据第四段“ ‘During this period of life, many people often feel tired because of their work and family, and there is a requirement for relaxing and emotive (动情的) music.’ ”可知，中年人可能因为工作和家庭感到疲累，因此倾向于听能够放松的音乐。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·山东淄博张店区·期中） What kind of opera do you like? As a Chinese, I prefer Beijing Opera. I always go to enjoy it in my spare time. Beijing Opera is a performance art dating back to the late 18th century. It usually includes singing, acting, and kungfu. Beijing Opera tells stories of history, society and daily life. By watching it, people can not only have fun, but also gain plenty of knowledge. The first Chinese film, made in 1905, was recording of the Beijing Opera The battle of Dingjunshan. Tan Xinpei, who was a master of Beijing Opera, played the leading role in the film. In the early 20th century, Beijing Opera was highly valued, and many world-famous stars appeared. Besides Beijing Opera, I also like Italian (意大利的) operas that can make me feel relaxed. There are around 800 opera houses in Italy. Even if you are not an opera-lover, you may hear about some famous Italian composers (作曲家), such as Vivaldi and Puccini. China and Italy are far away from each other, but their opera traditions are interconnected more or less. Italian composer Giacomo Puccini’s last opera Turandot is set in ancient China and follows Prince Calaf, who falls in love with Princess Turandot. Four years ago, a Beijing Opera version (版本) of Turandot was performed in Italy’s capital city and other cities, and it won high praise from Italian people. 1．What does the underlined word “gain”in Paragraph 2 mean? A．get B．forget C．leave D．lose 2．Which of the following is True? A．We can’t see kungfu, history or society in Beijing Opera. B．The first Chinese film was about the master of Beijing Opera.

There are a few things that link tunes (曲调) with our memories. Paul Donoghue, writing for ABC News, reminds us that the emotional nature of music helps make it memorable. And Kelly Jakubowski, an assistant professor, adds that music and singing are often part of many important life events, they can also easily draw our attention. Then the music and these life events are likely to be encoded together in our memories. Music itself is easy to remember. Oral cultures (口述文明) have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs. The rhythm (节奏), melody (旋律) and alliteration in lyrics all serve as memory aids. Pop music especially can be about a special moment in time. As Shahram Heshmat, writing in Psychology Today highlights, we often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music. Familianty is important. The more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is at bringing back memories because we like listening to a song over and over again better than watching a film or a TV program in the same time. Heshmat points out that our musical preferences usually form during our teens, and this is connected with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump”, where we make our strongest memories between the ages of 10 and 30. 1．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．life events B．music and singing C．Paul Donoghue and Kelly Jakubowski D．Kelly Jakubowski and the assistant professor 2．According to the passage, we can know that ________. A．we often become familiar with music because we like its rhythm B．our musical preferences usually form when we are old C．our strongest memories are made between the ages of 10 and 30 D．we usually watch a film or a TV program over and over again 3．The underlined word “memorable” in Paragraph 2 means “ ________” in Chinese. A．很感兴趣 B．令人难忘 C．反复考虑 D．传递信息 4．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A．Shahram Heshmat works for Psychology Today. B．Oral cultures have passed important knowledge through songs. C．We may think about a time in our past when a song is played on the radio. D．Paul thinks we become familiar with a piece of music because of its background music. 5．The passage probably comes from ________. A．sports report B．a storybook C．science magazine D．an advertisement poster 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了音乐的情感性质使其易于记忆。音乐和生活事件很可能会一起编码在我们的记忆中，以及音乐是如何让我们回到过去的。 1．词句猜测题。根据“And Kelly Jakubowski, an assistant professor, adds that music and singing are often part of many important life events, they can also easily draw our attention.”可知，这里的“they”是指音乐和唱歌。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Heshmat points out that our musical preferences usually form during our teens, and this is connected with what many experts call the ‘reminiscence bump’, where we make our strongest memories between the ages of 10 and 30.”可知，我们最牢固的记忆是在10岁到30岁之间形成的。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据第二段“And Kelly Jakubowski, an assistant professor, adds that music and singing are often part of many important life events they can also easily draw our attention.”可知，音乐和唱歌通常是许多重要生活事件的一部分，所以音乐的情感本质有助于使它令人难忘。所以划线单词“memorable”的中文意思应该是“令人难忘”。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“As Shahram Heshmat, writing in Psychology Today highlights, we often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music.”可知，正如Shahram Heshmat在《今日心理学》上所强调的那样，我们经常因为听到一首音乐作为背景音乐而熟悉它。不是Paul提出的观点，D选项描述错误。故选D。 5．推理判断题。根据这篇文章内容及其标题“How music takes us back to our past?”可知，这篇文章是研究音乐是如何让我们回到过去的，所以这篇文章可能来自科学杂志。故选C。 主题03 人与自我——运动与健康 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·山东济南历下区·期中） Jody Mikhail goes to Cumberland Valley High School in Pennsylvania. She is a senior. A few years ago, a sign for a new girls” wrestling (摔跤) club caught her eye. Jody decided to try it. “I fell in love with it the first time,” she said. Unlike before, she’s hardly alone. Girls’ wrestling has become the fastest-growing high school sport in the US. In 1990, there were just over 100 high school girl wrestlers in the whole country. Before 2018, just six states had approved (认可) it. Now the sport has been officially approved in more than 40 states. In the United States, there are four times as many girls’ wrestling teams today as there were 10 years ago. There are now over 50,000 high school girl wrestlers. That’s five times as many as 10 years ago. This was the biggest increase for the sport these years. Hundreds of girls wrestled in Pennsylvania’s first official state tournament (锦标赛), including Mikhail. In the past, girls often had no choice but to wrestle boys. There were very few girls wrestling in tournaments. “There were never tournaments like this,” said Savannah Witt, a state champion wrestler who has wrestled for 10 years. “It’s amazing. I’ve been used to running into the same three faces at tournaments. Now although I don’t know half these girls, it’s exciting to wrestling them.” Wrestling is something of a niche sport, meaning that it’s popular among a small part of the population. But we are finding out now that the world is changing. Some see the rise of girls’ wrestling as part of a larger change in women’s sports. Although wrestling is still more popular among boys than girls, there may be as many girls as boys taking part in the sport one day. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving advice. B．By asking questions. C．By giving an example. D．By comparing facts. 2．What is the purpose (目的) of paragraph 2? A．To introduce wrestling. B．To list the numbers of wrestlers. C．To support Mikhail’s idea. D．To show the increase of girls’ wrestling. 3．What can we know about Savannah Witt? A．She started wrestling at the age of 10. B．She is happy to see more girls in wrestling. C．She used to know half these girl wrestlers. D．She has never taken part in any tournament. 4．What does the underlined word “niche” mean in paragraph 4? A．小众的 B．友好的 C．精致的 D．普通的 5．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The dream to be a wrestler. B．The choices of women’s sports. C．The famous girls’ wrestling club. D．The popularity of wrestling in girls. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了女子摔跤在美国高中越来越受欢迎的现象，通过具体的例子和数据展示了女子摔跤运动的快速增长，并探讨了这一趋势对女性体育更广泛的影响。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Jody Mikhail goes to Cumberland Valley High School in Pennsylvania. She is a senior. A few years ago, a sign for a new girls’ wrestling (摔跤) club caught her eye. Jody decided to try it.”可知，作者通过给出一个叫Jody Mikhail的女孩参加摔跤俱乐部的例子来开始这篇文章。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In 1990, there were just over 100 high school girl wrestlers in the whole country. Before 2018, just six states had approved (认可) it. Now the sport has been officially approved in more than 40 states. In the United States, there are four times as many girls’ wrestling teams today as there were 10 years ago. There are now over 50,000 high school girl wrestlers. That’s five times as many as 10 years ago.”可知，本段通过列举数据来说明女子摔跤在美国的增长情况。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“‘There were never tournaments like this,’ said Savannah Witt, a state champion wrestler who has wrestled for 10 years. ‘It’s amazing. I’ve been used to running into the same three faces at tournaments. Now although I don’t know half these girls, it’s exciting to wrestling them.’”可知，Savannah Witt很高兴看到更多的女孩参加摔跤比赛。故选B。 4．词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“Wrestling is something of a niche sport, meaning that it’s popular among a small part of the population.”可知，摔跤是一种小众运动，意味着它在小部分人中很受欢迎。因此，niche的意思是“小众的”，故选A。 5．最佳标题题。根据文章第一段“Girls’ wrestling has become the fastest-growing high school sport in the US.”以及最后一段中“Some see the rise of girls’ wrestling as part of a larger change in women’s sports. Although wrestling is still more popular among boys than girls, there may be as many girls as boys taking part in the sport one day.”可知，本文主要讲述了女子摔跤在美国越来越受欢迎的情况。故选D。 Passage 2 （23-24九年级上·山东济南天桥区·期中） People are always trying to live a healthy life.

This kind of object has never been found in other sites of the Bronze Age in China. The shape of this dragon is a bit special as its head is like a tiger’s head, and its ears are round like those of a tiger. But it has two long horns (犄角) on its head. Its mouth is also special with something like a knife in it. And its body is like a flying dragon. According to reports, this statue is about 80 cm high, but it’s still not a complete bronze. Experts have found that this statue has no supports in front of it, and its main body exceeds (超出) the base. So it probably needs to lean (倚靠) on other objects to keep its balance (平衡). So where is the missing part? After searching, experts made another great discovery about half a meter away: the top-shaped snake-like figure (雕像). The 1.5-meter-high body is supported on a square base with both hands, and turns upward. It also needs to lean on other object to keep balance. Now some experts guess that the two statues are probably the same set of objects. If the guess proves to be true, this will become another huge Sanxingdui Ruins Site since the late 1920s. It all began in 1929 when a farmer was digging a hole there and it opened the door to an unknown culture of 3,000 to 5,000 years old. 1．What can we know about the bronze statue? A．Its shape is like a tiger. B．There are two long horns on its mouth. C．It has been found in another sites of the Bronze Age in China. D．It was found at the Sanxingdui Ruins Site in Guanghan, Sichuan Province. 2．Why does the statue need to lean on other objects according to the experts? A．Because its main body is too long. B．Because it has to keep its balance. C．Because it has supports behind it. D．Because it is an independent bronze. 3．What can we infer from the experts’ guess? A．The missing part of the dragon-shaped is probably the snake-like figure. B．The snake-like figure is the first bronze that has been found at Sanxingdui Ruins Site. C．The snake-like figure is quite different from the tiger-shaped figure. D．More than 50,000 ancient objects have been found at the Sanxingdui Ruins Site. 4．What is the main idea of this passage? A．The guess of some experts about the bronze statue. B．The missing part of a dragon-shaped bronze statue. C．The discovery of a dragon-shaped bronze statue. D．The discovery of Chinese unknown culture. 【答案】 1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了在四川广汉三星堆遗址发现的一尊龙形青铜像及其相关信息。 1．细节理解题。根据“A dragon-shaped bronze statue (青铜像) with a ‘tiger’ head and tiger brain was discovered at the Sanxingdui Ruins (遗址) Site in Guanghan, Sichuan Province.”可知，这尊青铜像是在四川广汉的三星堆遗址发现的。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“So it probably needs to lean (倚靠) on other objects to keep its balance”可知，这尊青铜像需要依靠其他物体来保持平衡。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“After searching, experts made another great discovery about half a meter away: the top-shaped snake-like figure”以及“Now some experts guess that the two statues are probably the same set of objects”可知专家们在大约半米外又有了一个伟大的发现：顶部形状的蛇形人物，专家猜测这两尊雕像可能是同一组物品，由此推测，龙形青铜像的缺失部分可能是蛇形雕像。故选A。 4． 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了在四川广汉三星堆遗址发现的一尊龙形青铜像及其相关信息。故选C。 主题05 人与自然——动物 Passage 1 （23-24九年级上·山东济宁邹城·期中） The swan is a large, beautiful bird with a long neck, big white wings and wide feet. It is a great flyer because of its strong wings. It is also a good swimmer, swimming quickly and nicely through the water. But on dry land, it’s a different story—the swan’s heavy body and slow walk make it look a bit funny! Swans live anywhere there is fresh water, like lakes and slow-moving rivers. They eat water plants and small fish. Swans are very territorial (地盘性的), which means that they protect their homes against any strangers. When swans want to look strong, they stand up tall, show their long necks and open their big wings while letting out big noises. In spring, swans make a nest (巢) of tree leaves near the water. They often use the same nest year after year, repairing it when egg laying time comes round. The mother swan lays between five and eight eggs in the nest, and then sits on them to keep them warm and safe until about a month later, cygnets are born. Sometimes the father swan will take the first-born cygnets out onto the water while the mother stays to look after the other eggs. The cygnets are looked after by both parents, who will fight other animals, people or even boats if they think their cygnets are in danger! 1．To make them look strong, swans _________. A．swim quickly B．stand on one leg C．move their necks often D．open their wings 2．About swans’nests, we know that _________.

B．They may be forgotten by the mother. C．They will stay with the mother as others. D．They will learn to protect themselves from danger. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍天鹅，包括天鹅的特征，习性，如何筑巢，母天鹅是怎么孵小天鹅等。 1．细节理解题。第二段最后一句“ When swans want to look strong, they stand up tall, show their long necks and open their big wings while letting out big noises.”可知，当天鹅要展现自己的强壮时，它们会高高站起来；展示它们伸长的脖子以及大声叫的同时展开它们的大双翅。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句“In spring, swans make a nest of tree leaves near the water. They often use the same nest year after year, repairing it when egg laying time comes round. ”可知，天鹅的巢筑在河边，且年复一年修修补补的仍用那一个巢。故选B。 3．词义推测题。根据第三段第三、四句“The mother swan lays between five and eight eggs in the nest, and then sits on them to keep them warm and safe until about a month later, cygnets are born. ”可知，母天鹅下蛋后孵小天鹅，可推断出最后是小天鹅出生，cygnet表示“小天鹅”。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“Sometimes the father swan will take the first-born cygnets out onto the water while the mother stays to look after the other eggs.”可知，有时天鹅爸爸会带着最早出生的小天鹅到水上去。故选A。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
