Passage 2
What’s your dream? Is it a big one or a small one? When your dream is to become a football player and play for Barcelona, nothing should get in your way, even if you have no feet.
An 11-year-old boy, Gabriel Muniz, who was born without feet, will fly from his home in Brazil to take part in the Spanish club’s summer training camp. Although he is disabled (残疾的), Muniz is one of the top players at school and monitor of his PE class. He can run, dribble (运球), pass and kick the ball as well as any of his teammates. He spends all his free time practising playing football.
His best friend, Lucas Santos, spoke about his abilities on a video for The Sun. “He is excellent and works hard to play football. He also makes good passes.” His mum, Sandra, was thrilled that her son would make his dream come true. She said, “He started walking before he was one year old. We would go after him, expecting him to keep falling, but he never fell. Muniz’s PE teacher mentioned, “When he arrived there, no one believed in him. But he showed to everyone that he could play as well as any other boy. So he was invited to go to Spain to show his skill.”
Muniz wears a prosthetic ankle (假肢踝关节) and foot to help him get around in rainy weather. He knows that his disability means he’ll never be able to play for a professional (专业的) football team, so Muniz is hoping that football will one day become a Paralympic sport.
5. From the second paragraph, we know that Muniz ________.
A. was an excellent football player without feet
B. became disabled after a trip to Spain
C. would fly to Brazil for a summer training camp
D. hardly had time to practise playing football
6. The underlined word “thrilled” in the third paragraph means “________”.
A. excited B. afraid C. sad D. nervous
7. What can we learn from Muniz’s experience?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. Nothing is more important than health.
8. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A big dream or a small dream? B. A big dream with great success.
C. A born player or a hard-working boy? D. A football dream for a disabled boy.
【答案】5. A 6. A 7. C 8. D

Passage 3
Imagine you’re taking an exam, and then you find it difficult to answer those questions. And time’s running out. Will you waste the little chance that you get to cheat?
Certainly, it’s not correct. It’s important to follow the rules because the world would turn into a total mess without rules. However, with time passing by and society developing, some rules get in the way of people’s success. A famous person once said, “We have so many rules in life about everything. But it’s impossible to be a creator if you’re too well-behaved. You have to think outside the box.” Some rules are created to restrain (约束) people, and some become old and boring. So sometimes, it’s okay to break the rules. In 1823, William Webb Ellis was tired of playing football in the old way, so the player took the ball in his arms and ran with it during a school football match. In this way, he started a new sport: rugby (英式橄榄球).
Since you’ve already known why someone wants to break the rules, now you need to learn how to do it.
Learn the rules first. Qi Baishi is an excellent Chinese artist, but he spent much time learning traditional drawing and painting skills before he found his own style. Know about it before you break it—that’s what you can learn from great minds.
Consider if the result is worth it. Each person has his own values. Before breaking the rules, think over whether it will go against your values. Try to make a right decision and you must be prepared for the bad results.
9. What does the writer think of rules according to the second paragraph?
A. Rules are made to help people. B. Most of the rules go against our values.
C. Some rules can stop people’s success. D. Rules should always remain the same.
10. What can we learn from Qi Baishi according to the passage?
A. We should realise the rules before we break them. B. It’s important to follow the rules.
C. We have to think outside the box. D. We should find our own ways first.
11. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. We can break the rules when we can’t face the bad results.
B. If we follow the rules all the time, we won’t come up with creative ideas.
C. Rugby was invented because William always lost the football games.
D. Rules don’t have to be in accord with (符合) our values.
12. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The World Needs Rules B. Think Outside the Box
C. Follow the Rules or Break the Rules? D. Think Twice Before Breaking the Rules
【答案】9. C 10. A 11. B 12. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要探讨了规则的重要性以及何时可以打破规则,文章通过举例说明某些规则可能阻碍人们的成功,并提出了在打破规则前需要学习和评估的观点。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据“However, with time passing by and society developing, some rules get in the way of people’s success.”可知,作者认为某些规则会阻碍成功。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Learn the rules first. Qi Baishi…Know about it before you break it—that’s what you can learn from great minds.”可知,我们应该在打破规则前先了解规则。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据“it’s impossible to be a creator if you’re too well-behaved. You have to think outside the box.”可知,如果总是遵循规则,就无法提出创造性想法。故选B。
【12题详解】
最佳标题题。根据“Learn the rules first…Know about it before you break it—that’s what you can learn from great minds.”以及“Consider if the result is worth it…Before breaking the rules, think over whether it will go against your values. Try to make a right decision and you must be prepared for the bad results.”并通读全文可知,文章主要讨论规则的双面性以及打破规则的前提条件(如学习规则、评估结果),D项最符合。故选D。

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,回答下列问题。
I believe in the power of inspiration. I like playing basketball. However, when I played in the boy’s club, I didn’t think I could do well in it. If somebody passed the ball to me, I would quickly pass the ball to another teammate. I was afraid to shoot the ball myself. I was afraid that I would miss the shot and be laughed at by my teammates. I watched basketball games and felt the excitement of the players right after they made the shot. “Those feelings wouldn’t be the same,” I thought.
One day, I asked for some advice from my best friend Bonnie about what team I should join. “Should I try out for basketball or table tennis?” She asked, “Don’t you love basketball?” I sadly replied, “Yeah, but I was never good at it.” Then she said, “If I love something, I will keep doing it so that I can get better.” Her words inspired me.
I decided to join another club to play basketball. What my friend had said stood in my mind. My teammate passed the ball to me. I got the ball and took a shot. I scored. I felt the excitement of an NBA player. My successful play was unforgettable. I’ll never forget that day.
I believe that everybody has something he or she loves, and inspiration will lead you there if you have trouble. People need to be inspired to find their passion (热情). Their passion will probably help them get greater things in life and be the best people they can be.

【答案】One possible version
Dear Sam,
Glad to hear from you. Knowing you are interested in my life during the first month in Junior 9, I’d like to describe it as quite challenging but also full of hope.
This month, study became much heavier. We have more classes and piles of homework. I often stay up late to finish all the tasks. However, I’m glad that I can learn a lot. For example, I’ve made great progress in math by doing extra exercises.
The reason is that Junior 9 is a crucial year. Every effort now can bring us closer to our dreams.
For the following study and life, I plan to manage my time better. I’ll set aside more time for weak subjects. Besides, I’ll also do some exercise regularly to keep fit. I believe I can balance study and relaxation.
Best regards!
Yours,
Li Hua

Passage 2
What’s your dream? Is it a big one or a small one? When your dream is to become a football player and play for Barcelona, nothing should get in your way, even if you have no feet.
An 11-year-old boy, Gabriel Muniz, who was born without feet, will fly from his home in Brazil to take part in the Spanish club’s summer training camp. Although he is disabled (残疾的), Muniz is one of the top players at school and monitor of his PE class. He can run, dribble (运球), pass and kick the ball as well as any of his teammates. He spends all his free time practising playing football.
His best friend, Lucas Santos, spoke about his abilities on a video for The Sun. “He is excellent and works hard to play football. He also makes good passes.” His mum, Sandra, was thrilled that her son would make his dream come true. She said, “He started walking before he was one year old. We would go after him, expecting him to keep falling, but he never fell. Muniz’s PE teacher mentioned, “When he arrived there, no one believed in him. But he showed to everyone that he could play as well as any other boy. So he was invited to go to Spain to show his skill.”
Muniz wears a prosthetic ankle (假肢踝关节) and foot to help him get around in rainy weather. He knows that his disability means he’ll never be able to play for a professional (专业的) football team, so Muniz is hoping that football will one day become a Paralympic sport.
5. From the second paragraph, we know that Muniz ________.
A. was an excellent football player without feet
B. became disabled after a trip to Spain
C. would fly to Brazil for a summer training camp
D. hardly had time to practise playing football
6. The underlined word “thrilled” in the third paragraph means “________”.
A. excited B. afraid C. sad D. nervous
7. What can we learn from Muniz’s experience?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. Nothing is more important than health.
8. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A big dream or a small dream? B. A big dream with great success.
C. A born player or a hard-working boy? D. A football dream for a disabled boy.
Passage 3
Imagine you’re taking an exam, and then you find it difficult to answer those questions. And time’s running out. Will you waste the little chance that you get to cheat?
Certainly, it’s not correct. It’s important to follow the rules because the world would turn into a total mess without rules. However, with time passing by and society developing, some rules get in the way of people’s success. A famous person once said, “We have so many rules in life about everything. But it’s impossible to be a creator if you’re too well-behaved. You have to think outside the box.” Some rules are created to restrain (约束) people, and some become old and boring. So sometimes, it’s okay to break the rules. In 1823, William Webb Ellis was tired of playing football in the old way, so the player took the ball in his arms and ran with it during a school football match. In this way, he started a new sport: rugby (英式橄榄球).
Since you’ve already known why someone wants to break the rules, now you need to learn how to do it.
Learn the rules first. Qi Baishi is an excellent Chinese artist, but he spent much time learning traditional drawing and painting skills before he found his own style. Know about it before you break it—that’s what you can learn from great minds.
Consider if the result is worth it. Each person has his own values. Before breaking the rules, think over whether it will go against your values. Try to make a right decision and you must be prepared for the bad results.
9. What does the writer think of rules according to the second paragraph?
A. Rules are made to help people. B. Most of the rules go against our values.
C. Some rules can stop people’s success. D. Rules should always remain the same.
10. What can we learn from Qi Baishi according to the passage?
A. We should realise the rules before we break them. B. It’s important to follow the rules.
C. We have to think outside the box. D. We should find our own ways first.
11. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. We can break the rules when we can’t face the bad results.
B. If we follow the rules all the time, we won’t come up with creative ideas.
C. Rugby was invented because William always lost the football games.
D. Rules don’t have to be in accord with (符合) our values.
12. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The World Needs Rules B. Think Outside the Box
C. Follow the Rules or Break the Rules? D. Think Twice Before Breaking the Rules
Passage4
Chinese culture has great attraction for people both at home and abroad. We have seen many people from around the world express their love for Chinese culture in different forms. A growing number of foreigners have even chosen to live in China for its culture.
Interested in Chinese classical literature, Canadian artist Brandon Collins-Green or Lin Buran in Chinese expresses his understanding of A Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xueqin and Chinese poems through thousands of paintings. Often painting throughout the night, he has created more than 4,200 works. Living alone in the center of Nanchang, he has come a long way since he first came here in 2015 to study ancient Chinese literature.
Brandon loves learning about the lifestyle of ancient Chinese people. “So far, I have read the novel three times, translated most of its poems, songs, lantern riddles (谜语), and dialogues into English, and completed over 1 million words of articles and 2,000 related paintings during my PhD studies,” said Brandon with pride and satisfaction.
Timur Kuvatov, director-general and editor-in-chief of the Kazakhstan Today News Agency, is a Chinese kung fu fan. He has won kung fu championships a lot of times and also served as a coach for the Kazakhstan kung fu team. “Chinese kung fu is a treasure of Chinese culture. It is not just a sport but also reflects the Chinese way of dealing with people, their understanding of life, nature, and the world,” he said.
Vincent Cazeneuve, known as Wensen Qi in Chinese, is a French artist devoted to lacquer (漆器) creation. He came to live in Chongqing in 2009. His works have been shown in art institutions both in and outside of China, and his fans have even collected some of them.
What is the charm of Chinese culture that attracts these people? It lies in its richness and openness. Also its cultural background differences make foreigners curious about the lifestyles, way of thinking, and values of the country.
13. What has Brandon done to express his love for Chinese culture?
A. He has created many famous Chinese poems.
B. He has decided to move to China with his friends.
C. He has written thousands of Chinese lantern riddles.

15. What does the writer express through the stories of Brandon, Timur and Vincent?
A. Chinese names are more attractive to foreigners.
B. The influence of Chinese art proves greater abroad.
C. Chinese culture is getting popular around the world.
D. China is an ideal country for people from abroad to live.
