A．How long; Not until B．When; Not until C．How long; Until D．When; Until 【答案】C 【详解】句意：——两国的对立关系会持续多久？——直到他们达成协议，我也不知道。 考查特殊疑问句。How long多久，问时间；Not until直到……才；When什么时候，提问具体的时间；Until直到。根据“… will the oppositional relationship between the countries last?”可知第一句是问会议持续多长时间，用How long提问，回答是直到他们达成共识，用Until。故选C。 7．Although technology has changed the way we communicate with friends, the meaning of friendship ________. A．reminds B．requires C．remains D．refuses 【答案】C 【详解】句意：尽管科技改变了我们与朋友交流的方式，但友谊的意义保持不变。 考查动词辨析。reminds提醒；requires要求；remains保持不变；refuses拒绝。根据“Although”可知，句意发生了让步，表示我们与朋友交流的方式发生了改变，但是友谊的意义却保持不变，C项符合。故选C。 8．—One of the 24 solar terms-Minir Snow (小雪) is coming soon. —That’s true.

I used to be a naughty boy in class and get really 11 grades. It came as no surprise that I would get an F and that would make me really 12 . So what I used to do was 13 those grades up—I would turn the F into a B just to 14 my parents. Well, it didn’t work out. Later, I knew I had to 15 that failure and learn from it, and something good really came from it. I started doing better with my grades. That F turned into a B naturally, and that B turned into an A． Since we were little, we have been always taught to believe failure is really a 16 and that we must feel sorry and guilty when we fail. So we work hard to 17 commonly-believed success and stay away from failure. However, this is a completely 18 idea. Life is full of ups and downs. From being a kid to 19 into an adult, you will fail at many things in life. So it is 20 to pay no attention to it. It is OK when failure happens. In fact, it only tells you about yourself. You get to learn about your 21 abilities, what you are good at, and what you are not. Whenever you 22 a failure, never think that you are never going to get over from this. You must 23 ways to better yourself. Did you know it took Thomas Edison 10,000 tries to 24 the light bulb? Bill Gates failed many times. Even his first company was a complete failure. J. K. Rowling was 25 many times before her Harry Potter took off. All prove that you must learn from your failures, not run from them! As Winston Churchill puts it, success is not final, failure is not fatal. And it is the courage to continue that counts. 11．A．smart B．wonderful C．poor D．special 12．A．scared B．relaxed C．excited D．amazed 13．A．give B．show C．take D．cover 14．A．please B．treat C．discover D．surprise 15．A．manage B．accept C．suggest D．describe 16．A．wisdom B．pride C．shame D．choice 17．A．connect B．develop C．express D．achieve 18．A．wrong B．strange C．popular D．usual 19．A．running B．growing C．looking D．breaking 20．A．necessary B．important C．impossible D．meaningless 21．A．new B．true C．creative D．powerful 22．A．create B．miss C．forget D．face 23．A．care about B．put out C．come up with D．show off 24．A．repair B．perfect C．paint D．decorate 25．A．punished B．expected C．mentioned D．refused 【答案】 11．C 12．A 13．D 14．A 15．B 16．C 17．D 18．A 19．B 20．C 21．B 22．D 23．C 24．B 25．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者是失败中学习了很多，然后引出失败不是可怕的，生活中失败经常存在，继续下去的勇气是最重要的。 11．句意：我过去在班上是个淘气的男孩并且取得很少的分数。 smart明智的；wonderful多彩的；poor少的，贫穷的；special特殊的。根据“I had trouble with some subjects”可知，作者成绩不好，这里是成绩差用poor。故选C。 12．句意：毫不奇怪，我会得到一个F，这会让我非常害怕。 scared害怕的；relaxed放松的；excited兴奋的；amazed惊讶的。根据“It came as no surprise that I would get an F”可知，作者毫无疑问的得到了F让他感到很害怕。故选A。 13．句意：所以我过去做的就是掩盖这些成绩——我会把F变成B，只是为了取悦我的父母。 give给；show展示；take带走；cover覆盖，掩盖。结合语境，根据“I would turn the F into a B”可知，这里是掩盖成绩。故选D。 14．句意：所以我过去做的就是掩盖这些成绩——我会把F变成B，只是为了取悦我的父母。 please使……满意；treat对待；discover发现；surprise使……惊讶。结合语境，作者改自己的成绩为了使父母满意。故选A。 15．句意：后来，我知道我必须接受失败并从中吸取教训，从中真的得到了一些好的东西。 manage管理；accept接受；suggest建议；describe描述。根据“...and learn from it, and something good really came from it”可知，这里作者接受了失败。故选B。 16．句意：从小我们就被教导要相信失败真的是一件羞愧的事，当我们失败时，我们必须感到抱歉和内疚。 wisdom智慧；pride自豪，骄傲；shame羞愧，耻辱；choice选择。根据“that we must feel sorry and guilty when we fail”可知，失败是耻辱，羞愧的事情。故选C。 17．句意：因此，我们努力实现人们普遍认为的成功，远离失败。 connect联系；develop发展；express表达；achieve实现，达到。根据“commonly-believed success”可知，是实现成功。故选D。 18．句意：然而，这是一个完全错误的想法。 wrong错误的；strange陌生的；popular流行的；usual平常的，常有的。根据“However”，可知这里是转折，对失败是耻辱进行了反驳，这里用错误的。故选A。 19．句意：从孩子到成年，你在生活中的许多事情上都会遭遇失败。 running跑；growing成长；looking看；breaking打破。grow into逐渐长成。故选B。 20．句意：所以不可能不注意它。 necessary必要的；important重要的；impossible不可能；meaningless无意义的。从小到大都会遇到失败，所以不可能不注意失败。故选C。 21．句意：你可以了解自己的真正能力，你擅长什么，不擅长什么。 new新的；true真的；creative创造力的；powerful强大的。根据“what you are good at, and what you are not”可知，你真正的能力。故选B。 22．句意：每当你面临失败时，永远不要以为你永远不会从中走出来。 create创造；miss错过，想；forget忘记；face面对。结合语境，可知面对困难的时候。故选D。 23．句意：你必须想办法让自己变得更好。 care about关心，在乎；put out扑灭；come up with提出，想出；show off炫耀。这里是发现方法去让自己变得更好。故选C。 24．句意：你知道托马斯·爱迪生花了一万次尝试才使灯泡完美吗? repair修理；perfect使……完美；paint粉刷；decorate装饰。爱迪生发明了电灯泡，这里使灯泡完美。故选B。 25．句意：J.K.罗琳在《哈利波特》出版前多次遭到拒绝。 punished惩罚；expected希望；mentioned提及；refused拒绝。这里是《哈利波特》的作者也遭遇了失败，被拒绝了很多次。故选D。 三、 阅读理解(本题共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分) 请认真阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Do you know five of the smallest countries of the world are in Europe? They’re commonly know as the microstates． Andorra It's in the Mount Pyrenees，which separates France and Spain．It is about 470 square kilometers and has a population of about 70, 000．While Andorrans make up only about one-third of the population，almost half are Spanish and the rest are Portuguese and French．The official language is Catalan． Liechtenstein It is a principality．Its area of 160 square kilometers is home to 33,000 people who speak mostly German．There is great skiing here． San Marino As one of the world's oldest republics，it covers an area of 61 square kilometers．It has a population of about 28,000 and they speak Italian there．Tourism is the main industry，but banking，clothing，wine，and cheese are also important to the country． Monaco It is located（位于）on the Mediterranean Sea along the coast of France，not far from the Italian border．It has a population of 32,000 and is only 2 square kilometers！It is the world’s most densely（密集地）populated country！Many wealthy people choose to live here．Most of them are French or Italian． Vatican City Known as Roman Catholic Church，Vatican City is the world's smallest country，measuring only 0. 44 square kilometers．Surprisingly，it is located in Rome，the capital city of Italy．Although it is home to only 890 citizens，3,000 people from Rome work here every day．Millions of tourists visit each year to see its buildings and famous artwork． 26．How many Spanish are in Andorra？ A．About 70,000． B．About 23,000． C．About 35,000． D．About 12,000． 27．Which country does the number ② in the picture refer（指）to？ A．Andorra． B．Liechtenstein． C．San Marino． D．Monaco． 28．Which of the following is true according to the passage？ A．Skiing is very popular in Liechtenstein． B．Banking is the main industry of San Marino． C．Liechtenstein has fewer people than San Marino D．Vatican City，the capital city of Italy, is in Rome． 【答案】26．C 27．D 28．A 【分析】本文主要介绍世界上最小的五个国家。它们是安道尔共和国、列支敦士登公国、圣马力诺、摩纳哥和梵蒂冈。作者还介绍了这些国家的地理位置、面积、人口、语言、旅游、建筑、文化等信息。 26．C 细节理解题。根据第二段has a population of about 70， 000约有70000人口．almost half are Spanish几乎一半是西班牙人。可知，在安道尔共和国西班牙人大约是70000的一半，也就是35000人。故选C。 27．D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Monaco摩纳哥．It is located（位于）on the Mediterranean Sea along the coast of France，not far from the Italian border它位于法国沿岸的地中海，离意大利边境不远。可知，②代表的是摩洛哥。故选D。 28．A 推理判断题．根据第三段Liechtenstein列支敦士登公国．There is great skiing here这里滑雪很棒。可知，A选项"滑雪在列支敦士登公国很受欢迎"正确。故选A。 【点睛】认真阅读题干，根据题干要求，在文中寻找答案所在的语句或段落，进行分析理解，词义猜测，推理判断和概括归纳，选出正确的选项。例如小题1，根据第二段has a population of about 70， 000约有70000人口．almost half are Spanish几乎一半是西班牙人。可知，在安道尔共和国西班牙人大约是70000的一半，也就是35000人。故选C。 B In many organizations，perhaps the best way to complete certain new projects is to gather a group of people into a team. Having a team of people attack a project offers several advantages. First of all，a group of people have more knowledge，more experience，and more skills in different fields than any single individual（个体）does. A group can work more quickly whenever the task is assigned. And a group can come up with highly creative solutions（解决办法）to problems because of the numbers of people who take part and greater resources they have. Also，a group is more likely to make risky decisions which a single individual might not make. This is because the group spreads responsibility（责任）to all the members. And thus，if the decision turns out to be wrong，no single individual can be held accountable（负有责任的）. Then，taking part in a group can be very rewarding for members of the team. Team members who have a voice in making a decision will no doubt feel better about doing the work than they might do what is imposed（把……强加于）on them by others. Last but not least，the team member has a much better change to“shine”. This is because they get more chances to have his or her contributions and ideas not only recognized（认可），but recognized as highly important. This kind of high-recognition is because a team’s achievement or influence is much higher than the individual’s. A team can finish and achieve what the individual can’t do. And a team can reach a height which the individual can’t reach. 29．How many advantages of a team are mentioned in the passage? A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five 30．The first paragraph mainly tells us that . A．many organizations gather people into teams B．it is good to form a team to complete tasks C．new projects are often sent to large groups D．people would like to communicate in groups 31．Which of the following is true according to paragraphs 2&3? A．A group of people are sure to be highly creative. B．A team always finishes more tasks than individuals. C．It’s difficult for a team to make creative decisions. D．The members of a group can share responsibility. 32．A team is worth taking part in because . A．individuals do not have rights to make decisions B．team members have better changes to be excellent C．team members are easily respected by other people D．individuals can not achieve goals or reach a height 【答案】29．C 30．B 31．D 32．B 【分析】本文介绍了在很多机构里，恰当完成一个新项目的最好方法可能是把一群人组织成一个团队，说明团队合作的重要性，并详细介绍了一个团队所具有的4个优势。 29．细节理解题。文章第二段开头说明团队的优势。根据文章第二段的“First of all”，第三段的“Also”，第四段的“Then”和第五段的“Last but not least”可知由四个优势，故选C。 30．推理判断题。根据文章第一段后半句“perhaps the best way to complete certain new projects is to gather a group of people into a team. 也许将人们组成一个团队是完成任何的最好办法。”可知，B选项最符合题意，故选B。 31．细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句“This is because the group spreads responsibility(责任) to all the members 这是因为所有责任涉及到每个成员的身上”，可知，团队成员可分担责任，故选D。 32．综合判断题。根据文章最后一段首句“…the team member has a much better change to “shine””团队成员有更好的机会变得优秀，B项符合原文意思，故选B。 C Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair or your fridge? It is possible that they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, as the so-called “Internet of things” is developing. The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. It is reported that during his speech earlier this year, Samsung CEO (首席执行官) BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, whether it’s a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner (吸尘器). So, how do household (家用) objects that are part of Internet of things work? Well, think of a usual chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold. An Internet-connected camera, like a smart-home camera, could help people feel safer in their homes. It can recognize (识别) people’s faces, and even can see when someone passes by in the dark. Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who’s there. If the person is someone you don’t know, it can tell you that, too. But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security (安全) systems to the Internet, there may be problems. For example, many early connected-home devices (装置) don’t have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked (被黑客攻击). In addition, it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2014. So, picture this: you walk in through the front door of your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think. 33．The Samsung CEO’s speech is mentioned to prove that ________. A．the Internet of things will appear in our daily life sooner B．Samsung has produced the Internet of things recently C．Samsung products have been part of the Internet of things D．he spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things 34．We can infer (推断) from paragraphs 3 and 4 that _________. A．the chair can know whether the user feels cold or not B．a usual chair can warm up when it knows the user comes in C．an Internet-connected camera can be used to take photos in the house D．an Internet-connected camera can be connected to the user’s smartphone 35．According to the passage, it is mentioned that __________· ①the temperature inside is neither too high nor too low ②your fridge provides the drinks for you ③the chair warms up if you feel cold ④your favourite music starts playing ⑤your washing machine starts working A．①②⑤ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①④⑤ 36．What’s the problem about the Internet of things? A．Companies which produce connected-home devices haven’t joined together. B．Connected-home devices may not work together and can easily get hacked. C．Companies have difficulty connecting security system to the Internet. D．These new devices are produced by different companies. 【答案】33．A 34．D 35．C 36．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述以后的家用设施将会更多地与网络相连，更加智能化。 33．推理判断题。根据“The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think.”及“He said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, whether it’s a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner (吸尘器).”可知，引用三星CEO的这段话主要是为了证明物联网将更早地出现在我们的日常生活中。故选A。 34．推理判断题。根据“An Internet-connected camera ... It can recognize (识别) people’s faces, and even can see when someone passes by in the dark. Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who’s there.”可知，连接互联网的摄像头能够被连接到智能手机上。故选D。 35．细节理解题。根据“The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school. Your favorite music starts playing for you.”可知①和④是对的；根据“the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.”可知③是对的。故选C。 36．细节理解题。根据“For example, many early connected-home devices (装置) don’t have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked (被黑客攻击). In addition, it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different companies.”可知，物联网存在的问题是：一个是容易被黑客攻击，还有一个就是有可能不兼容。故选B。 D One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn (谷仓), they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing (挤) out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite (咬) the tail of the other. Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape. After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice. One serious American official said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.” The others thought for a while and said: “That was why!” A smart French said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.” Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense. A Japanese said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time. At that moment, one Chinese asked: “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?” Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to answer. In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship. 37．Neither of the two mice ran away immediately because ________. A．one was biting the other B．the mouth of the hole was too small C．they were not afraid of smoke D．one was trying to help the blind one 38．“it made sense” probably means ________. A．it was correct B．it was strange C．it was funny D．it was sweet 39．Why did they lower their heads in shame according to the passage? A．They did not dare to answer. B．They had mistaken the relationship of the mice. C．They regretted (后悔) driving a poor blind mouse away. D．They did not express themselves much better. 40．It is clear that ________. A．all the mice came out of the hole easily B．each of the people understood the relationship differently C．the people wanted to kill the mice with smoke D．the people knew one of the mice was blind at the first sight 【答案】37．D 38．A 39．D 40．B 【导语】本文通过两只老鼠在面临生命危险之时的故事，告诉了我们真爱的意义。 37．细节理解题。根据“one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.”可知其中一只老鼠是瞎子，什么也看不见，另一只老鼠正试图让瞎子咬它的尾巴，这样它就可以把瞎子拉出来逃跑，所以这两只老鼠没有逃跑是因为其中一只正努力帮助瞎的那只老鼠。故选D。 38．词义猜测题。根据“‘I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.’ Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense...Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.”可知一位聪明的法国人说：“在我看来，这两只老鼠是夫妻的关系，其他人认为这种说法说得通，故此处划线部分意为“它是对的”。故选A。 39．推理判断题。根据“In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.”可知真爱不是建立在任何关系之上的，美、法、日的官员们纷纷推测两只老鼠有一定的关系，他们很惭愧，因为他们表达的观点不好。故选D。 40．细节理解题。根据“One serious American official said...A smart French said...A Japanese said”可知每个人对这种关系的理解都不同。故选B。 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 Recharge (充电) Your Body’s Battery My phone is showing that little red low-battery sign. What if I didn’t recharge it—no, that would stress me out. But what if I took a few minutes to recharge myself—yes, that would help. But how? 41 Tell yourself the truth. When something stressful happens, we often can’t help taking a deep breath at first. But we control what happens next. It’s possible to work with our stress, rather than against it. Remember to thank it and remind yourself: “ 42 ” Turn your attention to joy. To protect energy stores, turn your attention to being present. Focus on what you can feel thankful to. Smiling can reduce stress. 43 Plant something in your day that you look forward to. Work your stress out. You might think that all of your feelings live in your brain. But in fact, we feel them with our whole bodies. 44 It can change how you feel.

Ren Yin, a 27-year-old young woman from Hongcun village in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, is one of them. In 2017, China introduced the rural vitalization strategy (乡村振兴战略). It helps businesses, offers nice places to live and builds community spirit, making life better for people in the countryside. Ren wanted to have her own cafe and help her country. In 2022, she started a cafe in her village, just one year after she left her teaching job. Her parents weren’t on her side at the beginning. They thought this might not be a good use of her talents. But Ren chose to follow her heart, saying that’s what her generation does. Growing up after China’s reform and opening-up and the one-child policy (政策), Ren and others of her age are very independent. They know they want to follow their dreams, said China Youth Daily. However, starting a cafe is not easy. Ren is thankful for the support from the villagers who helped her find a place for her cafe and improved the roads. To attract more people, she designed her cafe to look different, with a special shape and served special drinks like mountain walnut-flavored lattes (山核桃味拿铁). But Ren knows it’s hard to keep her business going. So she hopes that when the nearby Jingshan Temple becomes a tourist attraction, it will help her cafe and other businesses in the area. Despite (尽管) of the challenges, Ren doesn’t regret moving back to the countryside. “I think many countryside areas in China are like hidden treasures waiting to be found,” she said. 66．In which year did Ren Yin leave her teaching job? 67．Why didn’t Ren Tin’s parents support her decision at first? 68．How did the people in the village support her? 69．What’s Ren Yin’s cafe like? 70．What can you learn from Ren Yin’s story? (请自拟一句话作答) 【答案】66．In 2021. 67．Because they thought this might not be a good use of her talents. 68．They helped her find a place for her cafe and improved the roads. 69．It looks different, with a special shape and served special drinks like mountain walnut-flavored lattes. 70．We should dare to pursue our dreams and never give up no matter what difficulties we face.(答案不唯一，合理即可) 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了来自杭州宏村的一位27岁年轻女性任银辞职回到农村创业的故事。 66．根据“In 2022, she started a cafe in her village, just one year after she left her teaching job.”可知，2022年她开始在村里开咖啡馆，就在她辞去教师工作一年后，因此她是在2021年辞去教师工作的。故填In 2021. 67．根据“Her parents weren’t on her side at the beginning. They thought this might not be a good use of her talents.”可知，任银的父母一开始不支持她是因为他们认为这可能不是充分利用她的才能。故填Because they thought this might not be a good use of her talents. 68．根据“Ren is thankful for the support from the villagers who helped her find a place for her cafe and improved the roads.”可知，村民们帮助任银找到开咖啡馆的地方，并改善了道路。故填They helped her find a place for her cafe and improved the roads. 69．根据“To attract more people, she designed her cafe to look different, with a special shape and served special drinks like mountain walnut-flavored lattes.”可知，为了吸引更多的人，她设计的咖啡馆看起来与众不同，形状特别，还供应山核桃味的拿铁等特色饮料。故填It looks different, with a special shape and served special drinks like mountain walnut-flavored lattes. 70．开放性作答题。通读全文，尤其是根据“Despite (尽管) of the challenges, Ren doesn’t regret moving back to the countryside. ‘I think many countryside areas in China are like hidden treasures waiting to be found,’ she said.”可知，尽管面临挑战，任银并不后悔回到农村，她认为中国许多农村地区就像隐藏的宝藏等待被发现。由此可知，从任银的故事中我们可以学到：要敢于追求自己的梦想，无论遇到什么困难都不要放弃。故填We should dare to pursue our dreams and never give up no matter what difficulties we face. 八、作文（满分20分） 71．  成长是一场美丽的蜕变。它让我们从青涩走向成熟，从无知走向智慧，从弱小走向强大。勇敢面对成长道路上的挫折和挑战，成为更好的自己。请以“The Journey of Growth”为题，联系自身，写一篇英语交流稿，从以下至少三方面进行分享。 要求： 1.词数：90词左右（开头、结尾己给出，不计入总词数）; 2.不得使用真实校名和姓名。 3.参考词汇：growth成长；solution解决方法 The Journey of Growth Growing up is a process that everyone goes through. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Growth is like a path with ups and downs, but I’m ready for it. 【答案】例文 The Journey of Growth Growing up is a process that everyone goes through. In my journey of growth, I have learnt a great deal. When I was young, I was so shy that I couldn’t talk with others freely and loudly. But as I grow, I learn to face fear bravely and am willing to make some new friends. (In Grade 7, I was afraid of trying something new. However, with my friends’ encouragement, I have become more and more confident. And I’m glad to take on new challenges any time.) When I have difficulty achieving the balance between hobbies and schoolwork. I often ask my teachers for help. First, I make a list of things I need to do and work out how much free time I have. Then I choose my hobbies according to the time. I can manage time better and get more organized. Looking back, I realize that growth is not just about getting taller and older. It’s about getting over difficulties bravely and learning to be independent. Also, it helps us learn to take more responsibilities and be a better person.        Growth is like a path with ups and downs, but I’m ready for it. 【总体分析】①题材：本文属于议论文写作，为材料作文； ②时态：时态以“一般过去时”和“一般现在时”为主； ③提示：根据图片提示完成写作，介绍你成长过程中遇到的问题和解决办法，你发生的巨大的变化和你认识到的成长的意义。注意要点齐全，无单词和语法错误。 【写作步骤】第一步，开篇点题（已给出）； 第二步，具体阐述你在成长过程中遇到的困难和问题是什么，以及怎样克服和解决的； 第三步，总结你从问题中学到了什么和你认为的成长的意义。 【亮点词汇】① be willing to do sth. 愿意做某事 ② with one’s encouragement 在某人的鼓励下 ③ have difficulty doing sth. 做某事遇到困难 ④ ask sb. for help 寻求某人的帮助 【高分句型】① When I was young, I was so shy that I couldn’t talk with others freely and loudly.（when引导时间状语从句） ② Looking back, I realize that growth is not just about getting taller and older.（that引导宾语从句） 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年九年级上学期期中考试（南通专用） 英语 注意事项： 1.全卷满分120分。考试时间为120分钟。试题包含选择题和非选择题。考生答题全部答在答题卡上, 答在本试卷上无效。 2.请认真核对监考教师在答题卡上所粘贴条形码的姓名、考试证号是否与本人相符合,再将 自己的姓名、考试证号用0. 5毫米黑色墨水签字笔填写在答题卡及本试卷上。 3.答选择题必须用2B铅笔将答题卡上对应的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,请用橡皮擦干净后, 再选涂其他答案。答非选择题必须用0. 5毫米黑色墨水签字笔写在答题卡的指定位置,在其他位置答题一律无效。 一、单项选择（本题共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中， 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 1．—Why do you play Tai Chi every day, Andy? —Because this Chinese form of exercise helps me relax and find my inner ________.

I used to be a naughty boy in class and get really 11 grades. It came as no surprise that I would get an F and that would make me really 12 . So what I used to do was 13 those grades up—I would turn the F into a B just to 14 my parents. Well, it didn’t work out. Later, I knew I had to 15 that failure and learn from it, and something good really came from it. I started doing better with my grades. That F turned into a B naturally, and that B turned into an A． Since we were little, we have been always taught to believe failure is really a 16 and that we must feel sorry and guilty when we fail. So we work hard to 17 commonly-believed success and stay away from failure. However, this is a completely 18 idea. Life is full of ups and downs. From being a kid to 19 into an adult, you will fail at many things in life. So it is 20 to pay no attention to it. It is OK when failure happens. In fact, it only tells you about yourself. You get to learn about your 21 abilities, what you are good at, and what you are not. Whenever you 22 a failure, never think that you are never going to get over from this. You must 23 ways to better yourself. Did you know it took Thomas Edison 10,000 tries to 24 the light bulb? Bill Gates failed many times. Even his first company was a complete failure. J. K. Rowling was 25 many times before her Harry Potter took off. All prove that you must learn from your failures, not run from them! As Winston Churchill puts it, success is not final, failure is not fatal. And it is the courage to continue that counts. 11．A．smart B．wonderful C．poor D．special 12．A．scared B．relaxed C．excited D．amazed 13．A．give B．show C．take D．cover 14．A．please B．treat C．discover D．surprise 15．A．manage B．accept C．suggest D．describe 16．A．wisdom B．pride C．shame D．choice 17．A．connect B．develop C．express D．achieve 18．A．wrong B．strange C．popular D．usual 19．A．running B．growing C．looking D．breaking 20．A．necessary B．important C．impossible D．meaningless 21．A．new B．true C．creative D．powerful 22．A．create B．miss C．forget D．face 23．A．care about B．put out C．come up with D．show off 24．A．repair B．perfect C．paint D．decorate 25．A．punished B．expected C．mentioned D．refused 三、 阅读理解(本题共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分) 请认真阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Do you know five of the smallest countries of the world are in Europe? They’re commonly know as the microstates． Andorra It's in the Mount Pyrenees，which separates France and Spain．It is about 470 square kilometers and has a population of about 70, 000．While Andorrans make up only about one-third of the population，almost half are Spanish and the rest are Portuguese and French．The official language is Catalan． Liechtenstein It is a principality．Its area of 160 square kilometers is home to 33,000 people who speak mostly German．There is great skiing here． San Marino As one of the world's oldest republics，it covers an area of 61 square kilometers．It has a population of about 28,000 and they speak Italian there．Tourism is the main industry，but banking，clothing，wine，and cheese are also important to the country． Monaco It is located（位于）on the Mediterranean Sea along the coast of France，not far from the Italian border．It has a population of 32,000 and is only 2 square kilometers！It is the world’s most densely（密集地）populated country！Many wealthy people choose to live here．Most of them are French or Italian． Vatican City Known as Roman Catholic Church，Vatican City is the world's smallest country，measuring only 0. 44 square kilometers．Surprisingly，it is located in Rome，the capital city of Italy．Although it is home to only 890 citizens，3,000 people from Rome work here every day．Millions of tourists visit each year to see its buildings and famous artwork． 26．How many Spanish are in Andorra？ A．About 70,000． B．About 23,000． C．About 35,000． D．About 12,000． 27．Which country does the number ② in the picture refer（指）to？ A．Andorra． B．Liechtenstein． C．San Marino． D．Monaco． 28．Which of the following is true according to the passage？ A．Skiing is very popular in Liechtenstein． B．Banking is the main industry of San Marino． C．Liechtenstein has fewer people than San Marino D．Vatican City，the capital city of Italy, is in Rome． B In many organizations，perhaps the best way to complete certain new projects is to gather a group of people into a team. Having a team of people attack a project offers several advantages. First of all，a group of people have more knowledge，more experience，and more skills in different fields than any single individual（个体）does. A group can work more quickly whenever the task is assigned. And a group can come up with highly creative solutions（解决办法）to problems because of the numbers of people who take part and greater resources they have. Also，a group is more likely to make risky decisions which a single individual might not make. This is because the group spreads responsibility（责任）to all the members. And thus，if the decision turns out to be wrong，no single individual can be held accountable（负有责任的）. Then，taking part in a group can be very rewarding for members of the team. Team members who have a voice in making a decision will no doubt feel better about doing the work than they might do what is imposed（把……强加于）on them by others. Last but not least，the team member has a much better change to“shine”. This is because they get more chances to have his or her contributions and ideas not only recognized（认可），but recognized as highly important. This kind of high-recognition is because a team’s achievement or influence is much higher than the individual’s. A team can finish and achieve what the individual can’t do. And a team can reach a height which the individual can’t reach. 29．How many advantages of a team are mentioned in the passage? A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five 30．The first paragraph mainly tells us that . A．many organizations gather people into teams B．it is good to form a team to complete tasks C．new projects are often sent to large groups D．people would like to communicate in groups 31．Which of the following is true according to paragraphs 2&3? A．A group of people are sure to be highly creative. B．A team always finishes more tasks than individuals. C．It’s difficult for a team to make creative decisions. D．The members of a group can share responsibility. 32．A team is worth taking part in because . A．individuals do not have rights to make decisions B．team members have better changes to be excellent C．team members are easily respected by other people D．individuals can not achieve goals or reach a height C Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair or your fridge? It is possible that they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, as the so-called “Internet of things” is developing. The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. It is reported that during his speech earlier this year, Samsung CEO (首席执行官) BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, whether it’s a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner (吸尘器). So, how do household (家用) objects that are part of Internet of things work? Well, think of a usual chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold. An Internet-connected camera, like a smart-home camera, could help people feel safer in their homes. It can recognize (识别) people’s faces, and even can see when someone passes by in the dark. Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who’s there. If the person is someone you don’t know, it can tell you that, too. But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security (安全) systems to the Internet, there may be problems. For example, many early connected-home devices (装置) don’t have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked (被黑客攻击). In addition, it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2014. So, picture this: you walk in through the front door of your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing?

D One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn (谷仓), they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing (挤) out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite (咬) the tail of the other. Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape. After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice. One serious American official said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.” The others thought for a while and said: “That was why!” A smart French said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.” Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense. A Japanese said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time. At that moment, one Chinese asked: “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?” Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to answer. In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship. 37．Neither of the two mice ran away immediately because ________. A．one was biting the other B．the mouth of the hole was too small C．they were not afraid of smoke D．one was trying to help the blind one 38．“it made sense” probably means ________. A．it was correct B．it was strange C．it was funny D．it was sweet 39．Why did they lower their heads in shame according to the passage? A．They did not dare to answer. B．They had mistaken the relationship of the mice. C．They regretted (后悔) driving a poor blind mouse away. D．They did not express themselves much better. 40．It is clear that ________. A．all the mice came out of the hole easily B．each of the people understood the relationship differently C．the people wanted to kill the mice with smoke D．the people knew one of the mice was blind at the first sight 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 Recharge (充电) Your Body’s Battery My phone is showing that little red low-battery sign.
