I’d already won prizes for the best math and English exams. A week later, the list came out and it didn’t include me. I was sad. Mr. Wang came to me and said, “Don’t be sad. I know you’re excellent! Maybe. You’re a little distant from the girls in our class. They don’t know much about you, so some of them didn’t choose you. It doesn’t matter.

Passage 2 （23-24九年级上·湖南省岳阳市汨罗市·期中） Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unlucky, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time. When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk round in circle and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to. Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “sorry, I am a stranger here.” Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps. I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting. When I just got to my office, the secretary showed in the man who had asked me for directions.

He had to write a 600-word book report and it was due the next day. But he hadn’t read the book yet! Li opened an Al app and typed in (输入) “Book report, 600 words, The Old Man and the Sea.” In less than a minute, the boy had his book report. Several days later, Li was called into his teacher’s office. Unluckily, his teacher was knowledgeable about computers and AI apps. And by using one of the apps, he discovered that Li had cheated in his writing. Instead of punishing the boy, he explained that while AI apps were helpful for some tasks, there was no shortcut (捷径) to learning. Learning how to write well is important to understanding a subject and expressing your own ideas about it. After hearing this, Li finally knew how to use AI apps in a more proper way. An AI app depends on a collection of information that someone has uploaded (上传) onto a computer system. A specially trained algorithm (算法) deals with the information to produce the type of writing someone might need. It may be useful for writing news reports, but it’s not useful for expressing you personal thoughts and ideas. Writing is the most difficult of all the language skills. You need to be good at grammar and have a good vocabulary. Writing also requires you to think clearly. If you read the book and write the book report by yourself, you will learn a lot and have the satisfaction of expressing your own ideas about the story. That’s something AI cannot do. 1．What did Li Gong do to get his book report done quickly? A．He copied it from another student. B．He used an AI app to make the report. C．He asked the teacher for help. 2．According to the writer, which of the following is NOT required for a good writing? A．Clear thoughts. B．Good grammar and vocabulary. C．A collection of information on the computer. 3．What might Li do after the talk with his teacher? A．He might decide to read books and write his own reports. B．He might use AI apps for all future tasks. C．He might not write a report anymore. 4．What is the best title for this article? A．AI, a Shortcut to Learn Well B．The Downsides of AI Writing Apps C．How AI Apps Help Students Cheat on Book Reports Passage 2 （23-24九年级上·湖南省株洲市株洲星雅实验学校·期中） Mrs. White has a son. His name is Sam.

Actually you can do a lot of things in two years. You can try a sport you’ve always wanted to start and become great at it. You can also learn a foreign language that you’ve dreamed to know and make it not only a dream. I have always wanted to be a good speaker. But when I first entered into the junior high school, I used to be quite timid. I dared (敢于) not to answer questions in the class, let alone give a speech in public. But now I am a good speaker at my school. I even won the first prize in the speech contest. Why have I changed so much? It probably begins from a conversation between my teacher and me. She shared a story with me, which encouraged me a lot and gave me confidence. The story is about a Tibetan girl who is one of the characters in the documentary—The Yangtze River (《再会长江》). She realized her dream and changed her life through her continuous effort. I was deeply moved by her story and I knew that as long as I work hard, I could also change myself and make it. So from that day on I decided to try my best to make my dream come true. I put up my hands to answer questions in each class, and what’s more, I practiced speaking in front of my family. This is only a small example. What I want to tell you is that I hope all of you can try your best to be a better you. Being the best of ourselves requires a positive (积极的) attitude.

Sign language is the main way for deaf people to communicate. Since they can’t hear, talking to hearing people can be hard. Luckily, sign language interpreters (译员) are there to help. Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her mother language, because her parents are deaf. “I picked up sign language before I could even talk,” she said. In2018, she became a sign language interpreter in Chongqing. Her work takes her to places like courts (法庭), where she interprets for deaf people in legal (法律上的) cases. Since sign language has fewer words, Hao often meets difficult words without direct match. In such situations, she carefully breaks down the meaning for deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. “For example, the words ‘put out a fire’ are signed as ‘a fire put out’ in sign language, as deaf people describe what they see first,” Hao explained. Hao feels stressed at work because being correct is important in interpretations. Her worry also comes from the fact that sign language has “dialects”. The same word can be expressed with different hand gestures (手势) depending on where a deaf person is from. “For example, people in Shanxi and Chongqing use different gestures for the word ‘true’,” Hao explained. Having traveled to over 30 cities in China, she has learned about the special ways for deaf people across the country to use sign language. In her spare time, Hao reads many law books and talks with lawyers and her deaf workmates to improve her ability. “My parents are deaf, so I understand the difficulties faced by the deaf community. I want to do everything I can to help them, and I hope more people will join us,” Hao said. 1．Why are the words “put out a fire” different in sign language? A．Because deaf people describe the things they see first. B．Because deaf people can’t express them with hand. C．Because deaf people can’t break down the meanings. 2．Which is the meaning of the underlined word “dialects” in Paragraph 4? A．误差 B．方言 C．区别 3．What do we know about Hao Shuxin according to the passage? A．She is a deaf lady because her parents are deaf. B．She can match any word with sign language directly. C．She has known the special ways to use sign language. 4．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To talk about differences between Chinese and sign language. B．To call on more people to take part in helping the deaf. C．To tell people how to express with different hand gestures.

As I was fixing my eyes on the ground, I ran into an old gentleman by accident. “What’s the matter, love? ” he asked nicely. “Sorry that I ran into you,” I said. “But I lost something. I’m really worried.” I explained about the missing diamond and showed him the hole in my ring. “That’s not going to be easy to find it,” he said. “Tell you what, love, I take a walk here every day. I’ll keep my eyes open for it.” I thanked him, expecting nothing. A few days later, my husband and I met the old man again. in the park. “Guess what,” he said. “I found your diamond!” I couldn’t believe what I saw when the gentleman handed the diamond back to me. Then my husband offered him money for his help, but he refused. The old man could have easily kept the diamond or sold it, as it’s worth several thousand dollars. But he didn’t.

It made me review the meaning of life. As soon as I went through the glass doors, I could tell something unusual was happening at the cash register (收银台). I saw a cashier (收银员) taking a few things out of a customer’s bag. The shopper was an old woman with short white hair. She wore an old dress and held a broken bag in hand. How poor she looked! I stood there for a second and soon realized that the cashier was taking things off the bill to cut down the payment. I walked over to the cash register immediately, pointed to the things that she was about to put behind her and then pointed at my bag, showing that I would pay for them. She understood and put those things back in the bag at the register. Then she continued to help the woman with her card, but it still didn’t work. I took out some cash, handed it to the cashier and walked away quickly. The old woman was a bit nervous about her card and didn’t notice me at all. When the cashier told her that she didn’t have to pay a cent, she was confused (茫然). I took pride in what I did. I was able to help the old lady out and hopefully bring some joy and happiness into her life. 1．What did the old woman look like? A．She had long white hair. B．She wore a new red dress.

As we got into the car, she started to speak to us. “No one has ever done anything like this for me before,” she said with a smile. “Well, I’m glad that we were the first,” I replied. “So, when will you eat your lunch?” I asked. She just looked at me with her huge, tired brown eyes and said, “Oh, honey, I’m not going to eat this lunch. You see, I have a little girl. I usually can’t afford to buy her the food she enjoys.

I found everything interesting, like the restaurant I went to one day. After I finished my food there, a waiter politely asked if I enjoyed it. The food was delicious and the service was great. So I showed that I really loved it by nodding my head. Strangely, the waiter did not smile but frowned（皱眉）. It was like that he was not quite happy with my answer. I did not know what was wrong and felt very upset. A lady sitting next to me explained in English that in Bulgaria, nodding one’s head means “no” and shaking one’s head means “yes”. This is completely different from my country. I thanked the kind lady and called the waiter over. ▲ This time, the waiter smiled and brought me some dessert.

In the following years, he and his parents lived in a few cities. They also travelled a lot during holidays. However, traveling itself wasn’t always relaxing. When his family moved from Jiangsu to Guangdong, they took the old green train and spent one and a half days on the trip. Now with high-speed train, life has become much easier. Long and boring trips in the past have become shorter. Also, the modern trains are more comfortable. “A coin (硬币) wouldn’t move at all on the table of a fast moving train.” He said excitedly. Patterson was glad to see these changes in China, but he also wondered how they happened. When he read a poem about China’s role model (榜样) Jiao Yulu in 2015, he got the answer. Jiao was seriously ill at that time, but still kept working to help people till the end of his life. Jiao devoted (奉献) himself to improving people’s life. “He was really great.

He told all the animals that the first 12 animals to win could get a place in the Chinese Zodiac (十二生肖), and have a year named after them. The cat and the mouse both asked the ox (公牛) to wake them up early on the day of the race. That day, the ox tried to wake them up, but without success. So the kind of ox carried them on his back and started running when the race began. The mouse woke up just when the ox was going to across the last river. He knew that he could never beat the cat. So he pushed the cat off the ox’s back. When the ox reached the other side of the river, the mouse jumped off and ran to the finishing line, just before the ox. So the 12-year cycle (循环) begins with the mouse. The ox comes after him. The tiger follows the ox. The rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig come after them. The cat didn’t get a place in the Zodiac. That’s why the cat hates the mouse and always wants to kill it. 1．Who could get a place in the Chinese Zodiac? A．The first 12 animals to win.

China’s Olympic champion Quan Hongchan won the women’s 10m platform gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games. Nine years ago, the young girl was playing hopscotch (跳房子) with her classmates on the playground when a coach, Chen Huaming, noticed her.

Her favorite doll is a blue one-the color of a swimming pool—her elder brother gave her as a gift. She keeps it on her bed, a quiet friend that is always there to relieve her stress. Unlike her peers (同龄人), the young diver needs to train extremely hard and has to improve her family’s living conditions. Her family live in Maihe Village of Zhanjiang, and her parents have five children to feed with the little money from an orchard (果园). To make matters worse, her mother was disabled in a traffic accident in 2017. As a result, Quan has grown up to be brave and hardworking. She couldn’t even swim before she went to the sports school, but she was the first among all the new students to step onto the 3m springboard and the 10m platform. When asked if she was scared at the time, she answered, “I didn’t think about it that much. I just closed my eyes and jumped.” Soon, she fell in love with diving.

He had to write a 600-word book report and it was due the next day. But he hadn’t read the book yet! Li opened an Al app and typed in (输入) “Book report, 600 words, The Old Man and the Sea.” In less than a minute, the boy had his book report. Several days later, Li was called into his teacher’s office. Unluckily, his teacher was knowledgeable about computers and AI apps. And by using one of the apps, he discovered that Li had cheated in his writing. Instead of punishing the boy, he explained that while AI apps were helpful for some tasks, there was no shortcut (捷径) to learning. Learning how to write well is important to understanding a subject and expressing your own ideas about it. After hearing this, Li finally knew how to use AI apps in a more proper way. An AI app depends on a collection of information that someone has uploaded (上传) onto a computer system. A specially trained algorithm (算法) deals with the information to produce the type of writing someone might need. It may be useful for writing news reports, but it’s not useful for expressing you personal thoughts and ideas. Writing is the most difficult of all the language skills. You need to be good at grammar and have a good vocabulary. Writing also requires you to think clearly. If you read the book and write the book report by yourself, you will learn a lot and have the satisfaction of expressing your own ideas about the story. That’s something AI cannot do. 1．What did Li Gong do to get his book report done quickly? A．He copied it from another student. B．He used an AI app to make the report. C．He asked the teacher for help. 2．According to the writer, which of the following is NOT required for a good writing? A．Clear thoughts. B．Good grammar and vocabulary. C．A collection of information on the computer. 3．What might Li do after the talk with his teacher? A．He might decide to read books and write his own reports. B．He might use AI apps for all future tasks. C．He might not write a report anymore. 4．What is the best title for this article? A．AI, a Shortcut to Learn Well B．The Downsides of AI Writing Apps C．How AI Apps Help Students Cheat on Book Reports 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了李功如何通过AI应用完成作业，以及他的老师如何教导他正确使用AI应用的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“It was 10:00 on a Wednesday night...He had to write a 600-word book report...In less than a minute, the boy had his book report.”可知，李功是在AI的帮助下完成了600字的报告，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Writing is the most difficult of all the language skills.

Actually you can do a lot of things in two years. You can try a sport you’ve always wanted to start and become great at it. You can also learn a foreign language that you’ve dreamed to know and make it not only a dream. I have always wanted to be a good speaker. But when I first entered into the junior high school, I used to be quite timid. I dared (敢于) not to answer questions in the class, let alone give a speech in public. But now I am a good speaker at my school. I even won the first prize in the speech contest. Why have I changed so much? It probably begins from a conversation between my teacher and me. She shared a story with me, which encouraged me a lot and gave me confidence. The story is about a Tibetan girl who is one of the characters in the documentary—The Yangtze River (《再会长江》). She realized her dream and changed her life through her continuous effort. I was deeply moved by her story and I knew that as long as I work hard, I could also change myself and make it. So from that day on I decided to try my best to make my dream come true. I put up my hands to answer questions in each class, and what’s more, I practiced speaking in front of my family. This is only a small example. What I want to tell you is that I hope all of you can try your best to be a better you. Being the best of ourselves requires a positive (积极的) attitude.

During the first two days I met a lot of great people. I was glad because I made so many friends there. On Sunday, the leader did an interesting exercise called “Chocolate or Toys”. He asked a girl which she liked better, chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate. Of course, she didn’t have a choice.

Another girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was a drug addict（吸毒者）and how much she hated her mother. “I want a new mom,” she cried. “Unluckily, you can’t have one,” the leader replied. “You have to accept the mother that you have.” This hit my hard.

Sign language is the main way for deaf people to communicate. Since they can’t hear, talking to hearing people can be hard. Luckily, sign language interpreters (译员) are there to help. Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her mother language, because her parents are deaf. “I picked up sign language before I could even talk,” she said. In2018, she became a sign language interpreter in Chongqing. Her work takes her to places like courts (法庭), where she interprets for deaf people in legal (法律上的) cases. Since sign language has fewer words, Hao often meets difficult words without direct match. In such situations, she carefully breaks down the meaning for deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. “For example, the words ‘put out a fire’ are signed as ‘a fire put out’ in sign language, as deaf people describe what they see first,” Hao explained. Hao feels stressed at work because being correct is important in interpretations. Her worry also comes from the fact that sign language has “dialects”. The same word can be expressed with different hand gestures (手势) depending on where a deaf person is from. “For example, people in Shanxi and Chongqing use different gestures for the word ‘true’,” Hao explained. Having traveled to over 30 cities in China, she has learned about the special ways for deaf people across the country to use sign language. In her spare time, Hao reads many law books and talks with lawyers and her deaf workmates to improve her ability. “My parents are deaf, so I understand the difficulties faced by the deaf community. I want to do everything I can to help them, and I hope more people will join us,” Hao said. 1．Why are the words “put out a fire” different in sign language? A．Because deaf people describe the things they see first. B．Because deaf people can’t express them with hand. C．Because deaf people can’t break down the meanings. 2．Which is the meaning of the underlined word “dialects” in Paragraph 4? A．误差 B．方言 C．区别 3．What do we know about Hao Shuxin according to the passage? A．She is a deaf lady because her parents are deaf. B．She can match any word with sign language directly. C．She has known the special ways to use sign language. 4．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To talk about differences between Chinese and sign language. B．To call on more people to take part in helping the deaf. C．To tell people how to express with different hand gestures. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文讲述了手语译员郝舒欣在帮助聋人群体进行法律翻译工作中的挑战和努力。 1．细节理解题。根据“For example, the words ‘put out a fire’ are signed as ‘a fire put out’ in sign language, as deaf people describe what they see first,”可知，因为聋人会先描述他们看到的东西。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Her worry also comes from the fact that sign language has “dialects”. The same word can be expressed with different hand gestures (手势) depending on where a deaf person is from. ”可知，同一个单词可以用不同的手势来表达，这取决于聋人来自哪里；即手语有方言，推测“dialects”表示“方言”。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Having traveled to over 30 cities in China, she has learned about the special ways for deaf people across the country to use sign language.”可知她知道使用手语的特殊方法。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“I want to do everything I can to help them, and I hope more people will join us”以及全文可知，本文通过介绍郝舒欣的工作经历和她在帮助聋人群体中的努力，呼吁更多的人参与到帮助聋人的事业中来。故选B。 Passage 2 （23-24九年级上·湖南省株洲市天元区天元中学·期中） One sunny Monday, I decided to go for a walk with my husband. I was wearing a special diamond (钻石) ring that day. It was my 20th birthday gift from my grandmother. As we were walking in the park, I unintentionally (无意地) looked down at my hand and found the diamond on my ring was missing. I was really worried, so I went back to look for it. I knew how small the chances were of finding it, but I still wanted to give it a try. As I was fixing my eyes on the ground, I ran into an old gentleman by accident. “What’s the matter, love? ” he asked nicely. “Sorry that I ran into you,” I said. “But I lost something.
