Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·安庆二中（南区）·期中） Have you always thought that kids are smarter than adults? You’d be right—at least when it comes to learning new things. New research shows that kids do get new knowledge and learn new skills faster than grown-ups. It all comes down to something in the brain called GABA, which helps newly learned material stick in the brain. Researchers have found GABA levels increase rapidly in the brains of children of primary school age while they are learning new tasks or information. However, GABA levels in the brains of adults, aged 18 to 35, don’t change during or after lessons in new tasks and information. “Our results show that children of primary school age can learn more within a given period of time than adults,” said Takeo Watanabe, a professor (教授) at Brown University in the US. Dr Sebastian Frank, from the University of Regensburg in Germany, said their findings agreed with the common opinion that children outperformed adults in their learning abilities. “GABA plays a key role in making learning efficient (效率高的),” added Dr Frank. The researchers suggested teachers and parents should give children as many chances as possible to develop new skills, from learning the times table to riding a bike. Professor Watanabe said the findings could also be used to help adults learn more efficiently. “For example, a new technology or therapy (疗法) could be developed to increase the level of GABA in the brains of adults.” 1．Which shows the changes of children’s and adults’ GABA levels when they learn new things? A． B． C． D． 2．What does the underlined word “outperformed” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．were the same as B．did better than C．depended on D．looked up to 3．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Parents should do everything for their kids. B．Children should learn to ride a bike as early as possible. C．Adults can learn more rapidly because of their wide experience. D．Children should be given more chances to learn new skills. Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·合肥市庐阳中学·期中） With the winter vacation coming, I realized I needed to find a part-time job, because I didn’t want to ask my parents for money. I had imagined having a job at a winter camp where I could play games with children. In fact, the only job I could find was cleaning up tables at a local convenience store. At first, I wanted to give up the job because getting up too early in the morning made me unhappy. I’ll never forget how tired I felt on my first day, but I’ll never forget sitting together and talking about our days with my workmates for the first time either. Suddenly, I felt good to be a member of them. After working at the convenience store for almost one year, I was used to getting up so early, because I knew there would be a few good moments every day there. Working at the convenience store, I’ve learned to grow into a boy that can depend on myself and get along well with others. And I’m not the shy person that I used to be. Meeting an impolite customer might make me feel bad, but very soon I could deal with it without difficulty.

For years, she’s been helping kids who feel lonely make friends. “There was one little boy at school, younger than me,” she says. “He would see me in the hallway (走廊) and give me a thumbs-up (大拇指) to tell me that what I was doing helped him.” What Sammie is doing is running the Buddy Bench (友谊椅) program. She started it when she was in the third grade, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Anyone at school who is feeling lonely can sit on the “buddy bench”. That lets other kids know someone needs a friend. “It’s really helpful to have other people notice you,” Sammie says. The idea quickly caught on. The bench brings kids together. Since then, Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches. “It means a lot to me,” she says, “it is making a difference in people’s lives.” Sammie says the effort (努力) has helped her overcome (克服) personal challenges. “I used to be really, really shy,” she says. “Now ▲ ” 1．Why does someone sit on the “buddy bench”?

Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·合肥市庐阳中学·期中） Nowadays, some calligraphers (书法家) are connecting modern technology with ancient writing art to let young people love it. Chang Binghuang is a teacher of Chinese language at Tamkang University. He found that his students liked to spend much more time on computers and phones than writing on paper, and even less time on calligraphy. “I felt sad about it,” said Chang. “And I started to think about how to use technology to get young people interested in calligraphy.” So Chang created a system called “e-pen”. However, this system was not perfect first. The writers had to watch the screen instead of the hands. It did not feel like writing calligraphy. Then, thanks to the tablet computer (平板电脑), a new “e-pen” was born. People can now look at the screen and their hands at the same time. The new “e-pen” app became popular quickly. “The e-pen app is for anyone with an interest in learning Chinese characters (汉字),” said Chang. So people who have little interest or are not that willing to learn will be able to take the first step into the world of calligraphy. For example, young students can now practice writing characters like “love” and “peace” with a digital (数字的) brush. To keep the tradition alive, Chang hopes more young people will learn more about calligraphy with the help of new technology. With technology, the art of calligraphy will grow stronger in a new digital age. 1．Why did Chang Binghuang create the “e-pen” system? A．He wanted to teach calligraphy more quickly. B．His students were very interested in calligraphy. C．He was attracted by the popularity of table computers. D．He found students preferred technology to traditional writing. 2．Who is the user of the “e-pen” app according to Chang? A．Same successful Calligraphers. B．Anyone interested in Chinese characters. C．Young people who are skilled in technology. D．Students from Tamkang University. 3．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? （P= Paragraph） A．①/②③④⑤ B．①/②③/④⑤ C．①②/③④/⑤ D．①②③④/⑤ Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·合肥市徽州名校教育联盟·期中） Recently, a short video has become very popular on the Internet. It's about a girl dancing on the water. Her name is Yang Liu, from Zunyi, Guizhou. Many foreigners think she is able to do Chinese “Qing Gong”. Actually, she was standing on a single piece of bamboo. It’s one of the traditional folk sport-single bamboo drifting (独竹漂). When Yang Liu was seven years old, she started practicing single bamboo drifting with her grandmother. For little Yang Liu, the most challenging part was to keep balance. She fell into water many times while practicing. But the girl got back up on the bamboo and gave it another try. After years of practice, could not only stand on the bamboo, but also do some simple performances. Yang Liu had learned to dance before. Then, she got a new idea to show Chinese traditional dance while standing on the single bamboo, wearing Hanfu. Although it was difficult to mix the two skills together and it was much easier to get hurt, her love for it kept her going. Practice makes perfect. Finally she could dance on the bamboo successfully and beautifully. Not long ago, she created another now performance, called “Ballet (芭蕾) on the water”, which was quite special. Her video caught a lot of attention and praise. There are more and more people getting to know her. “I’m glad that so many people like my performance.

For most people, this is not a big problem. For me, however, it’s hard to find a Mother’s Day gift that will satisfy both Mama and me. Expensive gifts are out because they make Mama feel terrible. “This is awful, Julie,” she says. “You shouldn’t have spent the money on me.” Inexpensive gifts please Mama, but they make me feel terrible. There is always the danger that a gift given to Mama will bounce back (反弹) to me. If I buy her something to wear, it turns out to fit me perfectly. If I give her a plant, she cuts off the top for me to take home and root (种植) in a glass of water. If I give her something to eat, she wants me to share it with her. Papa stopped trying to shop for Mama long ago. On Mother’s Day or her birthday, he composes a poem (写一首诗). Papa is not a good poet, but Mama doesn’t mind. She says, “It doesn’t have to rhyme (押韵) as long as it’s from the heart.” This year, finally, I think I, too, have found a painless gift for Mama. I am going to give her an article, unrhymed but from the heart, in which I wish her “Happy Mother’s Day” and tell her that her love is priceless. 1．Julie needs to find a gift for Mama to ______.

We are so used to tapping on our phone screen to get a map of our location. But how do our phones know where in the world we are and in which direction we are going? It is all thanks to the satellites in space that help our phones calculate our position. Depending on where you are around the world, your phone may be receiving data from different systems. In Europe, people have the Galileo system. In Russia, they have GLONASS. In the USA, people use GPS. China, meanwhile, has the Bei Dou Navigation Satellite System (BDS). The BDS in operation today is more advanced than the first version (版本) of the system, which was sent into space in 2000. The present version has better technology and more satellites. The system is not finished, though. When it is completed, there will be lots of BDS satellites. In the future, those satellites will allow us to discover the position of objects with millimetre accuracy (精确度): that is ten times more accurate than GPS. Even though more satellites are being added to the system, the BDS has already been put to use. More than 40,000 Chinese fishing boats are using the system now. These boats are very helpful in search and rescue operations (营救行动) at sea. They are able to communicate with support services on land as well as give the exact locations of ships in trouble. The BDS is being used on land as well. Of course, it’s not hard to imagine how the system is helping the police and firefighters do their job. Agriculture is another area where there are applications for the system. Farmers are able to put the data to good use when operating smart farming equipment. For example, the BDS can be used to control driverless tractors as they turn up the fields. Farmers are also using drones (无人机) 10 check the health of crops and spread seeds over fields. Although the BDS is of Chinese origin (起源), the developers have said that “China’s BeiDou is the world’s Bei Dou”, and they are actively developing international cooperation. Developers predict that the system will not only grow in popularity within China, but overseas as well. And when the system is complete and fully operational in the years to come, the BDS will undoubtedly bring lots of advantages to China and the rest of the world. 1．What does the underlined word “calculate” probably mean according to the dictionary? calculate /ˈkælkjuleɪt/ verb ① to solve the meaning of something ② to form an opinion about something ③ to specially design a product or an event ④ to work out the results according to the data or clues A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 2．How does the writer show the changes in the BDS in Paragraph 2? A．By showing steps. B．By telling stories. C．By listing numbers. D．By comparing versions. 3．What is the best title for the passage? A．Next up, the BDS B．Get away, the BDS C．Look back, the BDS D．Slow down, the BDS Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·合肥市徽州名校教育联盟·期中） Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device(装置) which uses satellites(卫星) to find the user’s position (位置). It can find your position within(不出某段距离) 20 meters. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are. GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put it in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street. There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting(环绕) the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well. Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again. 1．According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people _______. A．can’t be lost in a new city B．can’t find their way in different countries C．can learn about the culture of an unknown place D．can spend the least time getting to 2．The underlined word “They” in paragraph3 means “_______”. A．ground stations. B．GPS devices C．satellites D．receivers 3．The passage is mainly about _______. A．the history of the GPS B．the introduction of the GPS C．the shape of the GPS D．the three parts of the GPS 4．What can we infer(推测) from the passage? A．All GPS devices have electronic maps. B．People in many countries will use the GPS for free. C．The receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites. D．The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life. Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·合肥市蜀山区西苑中学·期中） Exploring (探索) space is important because it helps us learn more about other planets and stars. We can learn how they work and what they are made of so that we can understand more about the earth too. Zhurong has been working on Mars (火星) since it arrived there on May 15th, 2021. The machine has collected a lot of information about the planet. Then earlier this year, Zhurong found signs of water on the red planet! It is an amazing discovery because, without water, it’s hard for anything to survive. And the signs of water on Mars raise the possibility that there may be living things on it. This finding is of great importance because it suggests that there might be water on Mars. And if there is water there, it’s possible that some kind of living thing can live there. Scientists are still trying to find out what life forms might live on Mars with water. Some of them are asking whether there are more planets with water. And if scientists can find other planets with water, it might lead to the discovery of new forms of life. While it might be a while before we can visit Mars, explorers like Zhurong will keep looking for signs of water and other things about the planet. Who knows what we might find next? 1．Which of the following can we use to describe space exploration according to (根据) Paragraph 1? A．Awful. B．Boring. C．Dangerous. D．Helpful. 2．What does the underlined word “survive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Change. B．Live. C．Move. D．Happen. 3．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Who made the finding. B．When the finding was made. C．Why the finding is important. D．How scientists will use the finding. 4．How does the writer feel about future space exploration? A．He is full of hope. B．He is surprised by it. C．He is kind of worried. D．He is of no interest. Passage 4 （24-25九年级上·合肥市第四十二中学·期中） Birds are building their nests (巢) with rubbish. The rubbish includes cigarette butts (烟头) and plastic bags. A group of European scientists looked into about 35,000 studies on birds nests. They found that birds have used man-made things in nests almost on Earth except Antarctic (南极). Some rubbish seems to be helpful. This is why birds “like” putting it in their nests. For example, cigarette butts have some chemicals so they can keep insects (昆虫) away and protect the chicks (雏鸟). Plastic bags are useful in keeping the animals warm, and other hard things, such as paper cards, can make nests stronger. However, in the end, human rubbish may only bring harm to birds. The toxic (有毒的) chemicals in cigarette hurt the chicks. The chicks may get sick or have shorter lives. To make matters worse, if the cigarette still burns when the bird brings it back to its home, it may set fire to the nest. Pieces of fishing net may also trap (缠住) birds, and it’s impossible for them to get out by themselves. If the chicks eat other kinds of rubbish by accident, they will also get hurt. Our friends in the air are feeling the bad effects of humans polluting the environment. 1．How can cigarette butts “help” birds? A．They can make nests stronger. B．They can keep nests warm. C．They can burn other harmful rubbish. D．They can keep insects away. 2．What did the European scientists find? A．Birds can help clean the environment. B．There is almost no bird living in Antarctic. C．There is rubbish in the nests of many birds. D．People use man-made things to help birds build their nests. 3．What are the last two paragraphs (段落) mainly about? A．The activities of birds in their nests. B．The bad sides of rubbish in bird nests. C．The reasons for the death of young birds. D．The pollution humans make in the environment. 4．How should we consider birds nesting with rubbish? A．It hurts more than it helps. B．Human activities can help animals. C．It’s good for birds in the long run. D．It shows the friendship between birds and humans. Passage 5 （24-25九年级上·合肥一六八中学·期中） Koalas are one of the loveliest animals all around the earth. They look like teddy bears. They are gentle and quiet. Children and adults all like them. Australia is the only area of the world that has koalas. Koala means “no water” in Australia. Because koalas hardly drink water, but they get fluids (液体) from their food—eucalyptus (桉树) leaves. Koalas are marsupials (有袋类动物). They carry their babies in the mother’s pocket. A newborn baby koala is born blind and hairless. It can’t see anything. At first, it drinks its mother’s milk. It spends its first six months inside the mother’s pocket. The next 2-3 months the baby koala will be seen catching its mother’s fur in the daytime. But it always hides in its mother’s pocket at night for safety. A mother koala will carry her baby until it is old enough to be out on its own. Koalas live in trees in their lifetime. A baby koala starts to climb trees by itself when it is nine months old. After a long time of eating and climbing, the little koala is ready to sleep. They usually come out at night and they sleep for eighteen hours during the day. They are moving slowly and really don’t move around a lot, except to feed. Koalas are also excellent swimmers.

It could be their characters or their musical talent. Or maybe it was their anxiety (焦虑) about math. A US study found that genetics can decide children’s math skills and anxiety over math. It studied over 500 sets of twins and found that genetics has something to do with math anxiety. Over 10 years, the twins did math tests and filled out questions about their math anxiety. They found that fraternal twins (异卵双胞胎) had different skills and anxiety over math. Identical twins (同卵双胞胎) were similar. This shows genes can influence people’s anxiety over math. Math anxiety has a stronger influence on a child’s abilities. It could bring the same feeling as being hurt in the body. This anxiety means that students will not want to practice math as much as they could. Then, they become even worse at math. It only adds to their anxiety about it. But if you are bad at math, don’t just look at your parents. Math anxiety is still rare (少见)—genetic reasons explained about 40 percent. The environment, including school and family, is also a reason. So in life, it’s important to know how to deal with anxiety. 1．Which question did the study try to answer? A．Why is math a difficult subject? B．What makes twins different? C．Can genetics decide on children’s math anxiety? D．Can parents pass on their character to their children? 2．According to the article, we can learn that ________.

Gu Huijing, an 18-year-old girl, won the first prize at a competition for automobile repair in Guangdong. Over 33 teams from different cities took part in it, and Gu was the first girl in Guangdong Province to take part in such a competition and win the first prize. She completed the disassembly and assembly of an engine (发动机拆装) in just 26 minutes, breaking the school record. Unlike other girls, Gu was always interested in robots and driverless cars when she was young. But she didn’t perform well in some subjects in junior high school. “I did try my best to study math, but it didn’t work.” Gu said. Clearly knowing she would not get good grades on her gaokao, Gu decided to learn about cars in a vocational school (职业学校) instead of entering senior high. At first, her parents were very surprised and couldn’t accept her decision. After all, vocational schools were not so accepted by public. But Gu finally persuaded (说服) them in her own way. She researched the future development of the auto industry in her city, compared different schools’ running level and asked for advice from seniors. She also promised that she would stick to studying hard. Her parents came to realize that Gu was serious about it and then agreed. Speaking of the future, Gu said she was preparing for the coming exam of a university. “I hope to learn more in the auto industry. If possible, I want to take part in the World Skills Competition.

The 46-year-old railway worker moves easily on her board and can even do many difficult moves. Ni first took up the sport when she was 38 and she has practiced it every day since then. She usually goes to the park to skateboard from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. before work. “Skateboarding has become part of my life,” Ni said. As for how she got started, Ni said, “When I went to the sea some years ago and saw people surfing (冲浪), I fell in love with it at once. I thought it was the most wonderful sport.” But there is no sea in Ningxia, so Ni had to turn to “surfing” on land. She taught herself to skateboard by watching videos and taking online classes. She quickly learned the skills and was able to skateboard easily after a week of practice. Ni’s skills are admired not only by young people, but also by middle-aged and elderly women.

With the help of the Internet, they can watch videos, play games, and read news in English. But a new study shows that just learning English online is not enough. A study called “How15-Year-Olds Learn English” looked at 15-year-old students in five countries. The researchers found that students often use English to search for information online. However, they still have difficulty in speaking and writing English. They are better at reading and listening. Those are the things they often do, like reading news and listening to English songs, especially on the Internet. Students might feel shy when it comes to speaking. And they don’t want to write in English outside of school. Teachers think that using English online can make students more interested in the language, but it doesn’t help them as much in class. “Some of my students think they are better at English than they really are, so they don’t take school learning very seriously. That can hurt students’ learning and keep them from improving,” one teacher said. The study also found that textbooks still play a big role in English classes, although students use English a lot online outside of school. Teachers need to think about how to use the Internet and textbooks together to help students lear English better. 1．Because of the Internet, students are better at______. A．English speaking and writing B．English speaking and listening C．English reading and listening D．English reading and writing 2．How did the teacher feel about some of his students’ ideas? A．Glad. B．Surprised. C．Angry. D．Worried. 3．Which of the following may the writer agree with? A．Students should learn how to use the Internet wisely. B．Using the Internet can hurt students’ learning greatly. C．Textbooks are not so important in English classes now. D．The Internet can’t take the place of the textbooks. 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·合肥一六八中学·期中） Progress means the act of going forward. Making any kind of progress can make us healthy and happy in life. Slow progress is still progress. Just as the old saying goes, “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” Progress usually comes a lot more slowly than we expect. Even if progress is slow, try not to be worried. One important thing is that we keep taking steps towards our goals, and another is that we clearly remember what our goals are all the time. The speed isn’t important. The road to progress is not always smooth (顺利的). Most progress often comes with setbacks along the way. Sometimes, maybe it feels like we’re taking one step forward and three steps back, but it won’t always be like that. Keep going towards our goals and we can much more easily make the progress we want. Progress doesn’t always happen in a straight line. As long as we keep working, we will achieve higher levels. 1．What does progress make us do in life? A．Set long goals. B．Solve problems easily. C．Live healthily and happily.

Passage 4 （24-25九年级上·合肥市包河区·期中） How many fathers usually come to the parent-teacher meetings of your class? Have you ever thought of a “dads only” parent-teacher meeting? On Aug 24, a school in Hangzhou had a special meeting to which only dads were invited. The meeting hoped to “encourage dads to actively take part in family education (教育)”, reported Guangming Daily. In the last few years, people have been talking about the fact that fathers are missing from family education. Most moms in China help their kids with homework, according to All-China Women’s Federation(ACWF)and National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). Why do dads miss the school meetings and even family education? Some fathers say that they are too busy with work to take time off or they think the moms are better at communicating with teachers. Also, some hold a traditional point that dads just make the money while going to school meetings feels like more of a mom’s job. However, dads and moms both play important parts in their children’s education. When dads spend more time with their kids, the kids can do better in language and math, feel more confident and even make more friends. “Dads can shape young kids’ personalities (性格), ”said Luo Xuepeng from Guangdong, a father of a 9-year-old boy. “A rational (理性的) and strong dad can help kids have good habits and become more lively. ” he added. 1．Why did the school in Hangzhou hold the meeting on Aug 24?

It makes studying the moon much faster and easier than before. The new tool came out in August at the China International Big Data Industry Expo in Guiyang, Guizhou. The Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Geochemistry (中国科学院地球化学研究所) and the Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Group (阿里云智能集团) made it together. The LLM is the “smart brain” for the digital moon, which has the most moon information in one place in the world, said Xinhua. On the moon, there are more than 1 million big craters (大陨石坑) and lots of small ones. It’s really hard for scientists to find all these holes by themselves. The LLM can tell and remember different craters by size, depth and shape. According to Liu Jianzhong, a researcher at the Institute of Geochemistry, the model is correct more than 80 percent of the time. Working things out faster helps scientists learn more quickly and get ready for harder missions (任务) in the future. Using big AI models for moon science can also teach researchers how to explore other planets better. “The LLM is like a child with a very high IQ. We train and teach the child professional (专业的) things,” Liu told Xinhua. “We will keep it growing and helping us solve more scientific problems.” 1．What do we know about the LLM for moon study? A．It first showed up in Beijing. B．Different countries built it together. C．It can help find water on the moon. D．It will make studies on the moon easier. 2．How can the LLM help scientists study the moon? A．By making maps of the moon. B．By giving the information of rock sizes. C．By finding different kinds of craters. D．By recording crater changes. 3．What is Paragraph 6 mainly about? A．It is important to study different planets. B．Big AI models are important for space research. C．There are many challenges in studying the moon. D．Scientists should get ready for harder moon missions. 4．What does Liu Jianzhong think of the LLM? A．It is not easy to train it. B．It can teach children many things. C．It will be smarter in the future. D．It cannot solve difficult scientific problems. Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·安庆二中（南区）·期中） Nigeria is a hot and dry country in Africa where electricity is not available (可获得的) to many homes. Most people grow and sell their own fruit and vegetables. Keeping them fresh in the hot place is a real challenge. Without a fridge, most fresh food goes bad in several days. Throwing away the food means losing money for poor families. Eating the bad food causes serious health problems. Local teacher Mohammed Bah Abba was worried about this problem and decided to solve it. As a boy born into a family of clay pot (陶罐) makers, Mohammed knew that these traditional clay pots could keep water even when dry. In the 1990s he used this traditional knowledge and his understanding of science to invent a cooling system. It worked as a “desert fridge”. Mohammed’s cooling system is made up of two pots—a small pot inside a larger pot. In the space between the two clay pots,there is wet sand. People put the fruit and vegetables in the smaller pot,and cover it with a wet cloth. Then they leave the larger pot in a dry place. When water from the sand evaporates (蒸发）, it causes the temperature in the pots to go down. This way the food in the smaller pot is cool. With the pot-in-pot cooling system, food stays fresh much longer. Mohammed’s “desert fridge” has improved the lives of thousands of people. So in 2001 he won the Rolex Award for Enterprise, which is for the people who try to make the world a better place. 1．“This problem” in Paragraph 2 refers to the fact that ________ in Nigeria. A．there were more health problems B．there wasn’t enough electricity C．fridges were hard to get D．food couldn’t be kept fresh for long 2．Mohammed won the Rolex Award for Enterprise because he ________. A．invented lots of things B．was a successful businessman C．made local people’s lives better D．had great knowledge of science 3．Which can be the best title of the text? A．A cool invention B．The influence of education C．A fun prize D．The importance of electricity Passage 3 （23-24九年级上·马鞍山市七中教育集团·期中） On an early summer day, 35-year-old Du Minghui led a group of 20 children on an enjoyable study tour of the Jiulong Peak nature reserve in the southwestern part of the Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province. The reserve, with an area of 27.2 square kilometers, is home to some protected plants and animals. With birds singing, they walked through the forest to discover the secrets and wonders of wildflowers and trees. The children going on the study tour were mainly primary and middle school students. During the one-to-two-day tour, they could not only learn important survival skills in the wild, but also had the chance to watch how infrared (红外线的) cameras were used to take photos of wild animals. “As a form of nature education, our tours allow children to connect with nature and develop a deep understanding of it by sharing knowledge of the animals and plants in the mountains,” said Du. “During the first three days of June, we welcomed three groups of students. As the summer vacation is arriving, we expect more children to come here and experience the beauty of nature.” The popularity of educational tours has something to do with the improved environment in the mountains. Over the years, the reserve has kept spending about 2 million yuan each year on environmental protection. “As the environment improves, we are glad to see the return of many animals that had been absent for years,” Du said. 95．The study tour ________.

Passage 5 （23-24九年级上·安庆市桐城市大关区联考·期中） The Barcelona government in Spain is banning smoking on its beaches. From July 1st, 2023, people who are found smoking on the city’s beaches can be fined. The smoking ban, covering all the beaches in the city, is to protect the environment and make sure that beach visitors in the city can enjoy a smoke-free environment, which will bring fresher air and cleaner-sands. Four of Barcelona’s beaches already became free of smoke in 2022 to test whether a larger ban would work. While there was no fine for smoking during the test ban, people were just asked not to smoke. “Every one understood the situation and followed the ban, so we hardly have to ask someone to leave a beach and smoke somewhere else,” said Eloi Badia, a city leader of Barcelona. The test ban also led to a large drop in the number of cigarette butts (烟蒂) that were left in the sand on those beaches. They are the most common rubbish found around the world, and can cause huge problems for the environment. Barcelona has become the first main city in Spain to ban smoking on its beaches. So far, of Spain’s over 3, 000 beaches, nearly 500 have already banned smoking, and the rest may not be far behind. The country is planning to ban smoking on every beach in Spain. 103．What do the first two paragraphs tell us about the smoking ban? ①Its purpose. ②Its starting time. ③The area it covers. ④The number of its rules.

It all comes down to something in the brain called GABA, which helps newly learned material stick in the brain. Researchers have found GABA levels increase rapidly in the brains of children of primary school age while they are learning new tasks or information. However, GABA levels in the brains of adults, aged 18 to 35, don’t change during or after lessons in new tasks and information. “Our results show that children of primary school age can learn more within a given period of time than adults,” said Takeo Watanabe, a professor (教授) at Brown University in the US. Dr Sebastian Frank, from the University of Regensburg in Germany, said their findings agreed with the common opinion that children outperformed adults in their learning abilities. “GABA plays a key role in making learning efficient (效率高的),” added Dr Frank. The researchers suggested teachers and parents should give children as many chances as possible to develop new skills, from learning the times table to riding a bike. Professor Watanabe said the findings could also be used to help adults learn more efficiently. “For example, a new technology or therapy (疗法) could be developed to increase the level of GABA in the brains of adults.” 1．Which shows the changes of children’s and adults’ GABA levels when they learn new things? A． B． C． D． 2．What does the underlined word “outperformed” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．were the same as B．did better than C．depended on D．looked up to 3．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Parents should do everything for their kids. B．Children should learn to ride a bike as early as possible. C．Adults can learn more rapidly because of their wide experience. D．Children should be given more chances to learn new skills. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 【导语】本文介绍了儿童在学习新事物时比成人更快的原因，主要与大脑中的GABA水平有关。研究发现，小学生在学习新任务时，GABA水平迅速增加，而成年人的GABA水平则没有变化。这表明儿童在特定时间内能比成人学习更多内容。 1．细节理解题。根据“Researchers have found GABA levels increase rapidly in the brains of children of primary school age while they are learning new tasks or information. However, GABA levels in the brains of adults, aged 18 to 35, don’t change during or after lessons in new tasks and information.”可知，儿童学习GABA水平迅速上升，而成人无变化。正确图表应显示儿童GABA上升（如学习期间陡增），成人保持平稳。选项A符合此描述，故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Dr Sebastian Frank, from the University of Regensburg in Germany, said their findings agreed with the common opinion that children outperformed adults in their learning abilities.”可知，上下文指出儿童学习能力优于成人，“outperformed”意为“表现更好”，选项B“比……做的更好”符合。故选B。 3．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The researchers suggested teachers and parents should give children as many chances as possible to develop new skills, from learning the times table to riding a bike.”可知，本段强调应给予儿童更多学习机会（如乘法表、骑自行车），选项D“应该给孩子们更多学习新技能的机会。”正确。故选D。 Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·合肥市庐阳中学·期中） With the winter vacation coming, I realized I needed to find a part-time job, because I didn’t want to ask my parents for money. I had imagined having a job at a winter camp where I could play games with children. In fact, the only job I could find was cleaning up tables at a local convenience store. At first, I wanted to give up the job because getting up too early in the morning made me unhappy. I’ll never forget how tired I felt on my first day, but I’ll never forget sitting together and talking about our days with my workmates for the first time either. Suddenly, I felt good to be a member of them. After working at the convenience store for almost one year, I was used to getting up so early, because I knew there would be a few good moments every day there. Working at the convenience store, I’ve learned to grow into a boy that can depend on myself and get along well with others. And I’m not the shy person that I used to be. Meeting an impolite customer might make me feel bad, but very soon I could deal with it without difficulty. The job has given me so much, and I can’t wait to go back to the convenience store and continue to grow from my experience. 1．How did the writer feel at first when he found the job at the convenience store? A．Excited. B．Surprised. C．Disappointed. D．Satisfied. 2．What can we know from the passage? A．He didn’t want to go back to the convenience store. B．He had few good moments at the convenience store. C．He forgot talking about their days with his workmates. D．He improved himself after working at the convenience store. 3．The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to（指的是） __________.

Chang Binghuang is a teacher of Chinese language at Tamkang University. He found that his students liked to spend much more time on computers and phones than writing on paper, and even less time on calligraphy. “I felt sad about it,” said Chang. “And I started to think about how to use technology to get young people interested in calligraphy.” So Chang created a system called “e-pen”. However, this system was not perfect first. The writers had to watch the screen instead of the hands. It did not feel like writing calligraphy. Then, thanks to the tablet computer (平板电脑), a new “e-pen” was born. People can now look at the screen and their hands at the same time. The new “e-pen” app became popular quickly. “The e-pen app is for anyone with an interest in learning Chinese characters (汉字),” said Chang. So people who have little interest or are not that willing to learn will be able to take the first step into the world of calligraphy. For example, young students can now practice writing characters like “love” and “peace” with a digital (数字的) brush. To keep the tradition alive, Chang hopes more young people will learn more about calligraphy with the help of new technology. With technology, the art of calligraphy will grow stronger in a new digital age. 1．Why did Chang Binghuang create the “e-pen” system? A．He wanted to teach calligraphy more quickly. B．His students were very interested in calligraphy. C．He was attracted by the popularity of table computers. D．He found students preferred technology to traditional writing. 2．Who is the user of the “e-pen” app according to Chang? A．Same successful Calligraphers. B．Anyone interested in Chinese characters.

It’s one of the traditional folk sport-single bamboo drifting (独竹漂). When Yang Liu was seven years old, she started practicing single bamboo drifting with her grandmother. For little Yang Liu, the most challenging part was to keep balance. She fell into water many times while practicing. But the girl got back up on the bamboo and gave it another try. After years of practice, could not only stand on the bamboo, but also do some simple performances. Yang Liu had learned to dance before. Then, she got a new idea to show Chinese traditional dance while standing on the single bamboo, wearing Hanfu. Although it was difficult to mix the two skills together and it was much easier to get hurt, her love for it kept her going. Practice makes perfect. Finally she could dance on the bamboo successfully and beautifully. Not long ago, she created another now performance, called “Ballet (芭蕾) on the water”, which was quite special. Her video caught a lot of attention and praise. There are more and more people getting to know her. “I’m glad that so many people like my performance.

We are so used to tapping on our phone screen to get a map of our location. But how do our phones know where in the world we are and in which direction we are going? It is all thanks to the satellites in space that help our phones calculate our position. Depending on where you are around the world, your phone may be receiving data from different systems. In Europe, people have the Galileo system. In Russia, they have GLONASS. In the USA, people use GPS. China, meanwhile, has the Bei Dou Navigation Satellite System (BDS). The BDS in operation today is more advanced than the first version (版本) of the system, which was sent into space in 2000. The present version has better technology and more satellites. The system is not finished, though. When it is completed, there will be lots of BDS satellites. In the future, those satellites will allow us to discover the position of objects with millimetre accuracy (精确度): that is ten times more accurate than GPS. Even though more satellites are being added to the system, the BDS has already been put to use. More than 40,000 Chinese fishing boats are using the system now. These boats are very helpful in search and rescue operations (营救行动) at sea. They are able to communicate with support services on land as well as give the exact locations of ships in trouble. The BDS is being used on land as well. Of course, it’s not hard to imagine how the system is helping the police and firefighters do their job. Agriculture is another area where there are applications for the system. Farmers are able to put the data to good use when operating smart farming equipment. For example, the BDS can be used to control driverless tractors as they turn up the fields. Farmers are also using drones (无人机) 10 check the health of crops and spread seeds over fields. Although the BDS is of Chinese origin (起源), the developers have said that “China’s BeiDou is the world’s Bei Dou”, and they are actively developing international cooperation. Developers predict that the system will not only grow in popularity within China, but overseas as well. And when the system is complete and fully operational in the years to come, the BDS will undoubtedly bring lots of advantages to China and the rest of the world. 1．What does the underlined word “calculate” probably mean according to the dictionary? calculate /ˈkælkjuleɪt/ verb ① to solve the meaning of something ② to form an opinion about something ③ to specially design a product or an event ④ to work out the results according to the data or clues A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 2．How does the writer show the changes in the BDS in Paragraph 2? A．By showing steps. B．By telling stories. C．By listing numbers. D．By comparing versions. 3．What is the best title for the passage? A．Next up, the BDS B．Get away, the BDS C．Look back, the BDS D．Slow down, the BDS 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国的北斗系统以及未来的发展趋势。 1．词句猜测题。根据“Depending on where you are around the world, your phone may be receiving data from different systems.”可知，卫星帮助我们的手机计算我们的位置。所以“calculate”是根据数据或线索给出结果。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“The BDS in operation today is more advanced than the first version (版本) of the system, which was sent into space in 2000. The present version has better technology and more satellites.”可知，目前运行的北斗系统比2000年送入太空的第一版系统更先进。这是通过比较条件显示北斗系统的变化。故选D。 3．标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了中国的北斗系统以及未来的发展趋势。所以应该是“Next up, the BDS”更符合。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·合肥市徽州名校教育联盟·期中） Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device(装置) which uses satellites(卫星) to find the user’s position (位置). It can find your position within(不出某段距离) 20 meters. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are. GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put it in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street. There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting(环绕) the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well. Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again. 1．According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people _______. A．can’t be lost in a new city B．can’t find their way in different countries C．can learn about the culture of an unknown place D．can spend the least time getting to 2．The underlined word “They” in paragraph3 means “_______”. A．ground stations. B．GPS devices C．satellites D．receivers 3．The passage is mainly about _______.

B．People in many countries will use the GPS for free. C．The receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites. D．The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life. 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了GPS的用途，并全面介绍了全球定位系统GPS的原理是通过卫星来定位用户的位置，可以帮助用户找到自己的位置和想去的地方。然后详细介绍了GPS的三个部分。最后预言了GPS在将来会越来越便宜、精确、普遍。 1．推理判断题。根据文章最后“Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.”可知，有GPS的帮助，在一个新的城市里不会再迷路。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据“The third part of the system is a network of ground stations.”可知，该系统的第三部分是地面站网络，因此“they”替代“ground stations”，故选A。 3．主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知，本文主要是对GPS的介绍。故选B。 4 ．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile...Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.”可知，GPS在日常生活中会变得越来越普遍。故选D。 Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·合肥市蜀山区西苑中学·期中） Exploring (探索) space is important because it helps us learn more about other planets and stars. We can learn how they work and what they are made of so that we can understand more about the earth too. Zhurong has been working on Mars (火星) since it arrived there on May 15th, 2021. The machine has collected a lot of information about the planet. Then earlier this year, Zhurong found signs of water on the red planet! It is an amazing discovery because, without water, it’s hard for anything to survive. And the signs of water on Mars raise the possibility that there may be living things on it. This finding is of great importance because it suggests that there might be water on Mars. And if there is water there, it’s possible that some kind of living thing can live there. Scientists are still trying to find out what life forms might live on Mars with water. Some of them are asking whether there are more planets with water. And if scientists can find other planets with water, it might lead to the discovery of new forms of life. While it might be a while before we can visit Mars, explorers like Zhurong will keep looking for signs of water and other things about the planet. Who knows what we might find next? 1．Which of the following can we use to describe space exploration according to (根据) Paragraph 1? A．Awful. B．Boring. C．Dangerous. D．Helpful. 2．What does the underlined word “survive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Change. B．Live. C．Move. D．Happen. 3．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Who made the finding.

B．He is surprised by it. C．He is kind of worried. D．He is of no interest. 【答案】 1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文讲述了科学家对其他星球是否存在水的探索和发现。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Exploring space is important because it helps us learn more about other planets and stars.”可知，太空探索是有帮助的，故选D。 2．词义猜测题。根据第二段“without water, it’s hard for anything to survive”可知，没有水很难生存，因此“survive”意为“生存”，故选B。 3．主旨大意题。根据“This finding is of great importance because it suggests that there might be water on Mars.”可知，第三段主要讲述了发现火星上有水的迹象的重要性，故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Who knows what we might find next?”可以推测作者对未来的空间探索充满希望，故选A。 Passage 4 （24-25九年级上·合肥市第四十二中学·期中） Birds are building their nests (巢) with rubbish. The rubbish includes cigarette butts (烟头) and plastic bags. A group of European scientists looked into about 35,000 studies on birds nests. They found that birds have used man-made things in nests almost on Earth except Antarctic (南极). Some rubbish seems to be helpful. This is why birds “like” putting it in their nests. For example, cigarette butts have some chemicals so they can keep insects (昆虫) away and protect the chicks (雏鸟). Plastic bags are useful in keeping the animals warm, and other hard things, such as paper cards, can make nests stronger. However, in the end, human rubbish may only bring harm to birds. The toxic (有毒的) chemicals in cigarette hurt the chicks. The chicks may get sick or have shorter lives. To make matters worse, if the cigarette still burns when the bird brings it back to its home, it may set fire to the nest. Pieces of fishing net may also trap (缠住) birds, and it’s impossible for them to get out by themselves. If the chicks eat other kinds of rubbish by accident, they will also get hurt. Our friends in the air are feeling the bad effects of humans polluting the environment. 1．How can cigarette butts “help” birds? A．They can make nests stronger. B．They can keep nests warm. C．They can burn other harmful rubbish. D．They can keep insects away. 2．What did the European scientists find? A．Birds can help clean the environment. B．There is almost no bird living in Antarctic. C．There is rubbish in the nests of many birds. D．People use man-made things to help birds build their nests. 3．What are the last two paragraphs (段落) mainly about? A．The activities of birds in their nests. B．The bad sides of rubbish in bird nests. C．The reasons for the death of young birds. D．The pollution humans make in the environment. 4．How should we consider birds nesting with rubbish? A．It hurts more than it helps. B．Human activities can help animals. C．It’s good for birds in the long run. D．It shows the friendship between birds and humans. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了许多鸟类正在用人类的垃圾筑巢，同时这样也会给鸟类带来不利影响。 1．细节理解题。根据“For example, cigarette butts have some chemicals so they can keep insects (昆虫) away and protect the chicks (雏鸟)”可知，烟头含有一些化学物质，可以驱逐昆虫。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“They found that birds have used man-made things in nests almost on Earth except Antarctic (南极).”可知，除了南极，鸟类几乎在地球上的巢穴中都使用过人造物品。所有是许多鸟类的巢穴里都有人类的垃圾。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。根据“However, in the end, human rubbish may only bring harm to birds.”可知，人类的垃圾对鸟类有害。故选B。 4．观点态度题。通读全文后，虽然人类垃圾对鸟类的巢穴有利，但是也有害处。本文主要是认为鸟类用垃圾筑巢坏弊大于利。故选A。 Passage 5 （24-25九年级上·合肥一六八中学·期中） Koalas are one of the loveliest animals all around the earth.

It could be their characters or their musical talent. Or maybe it was their anxiety (焦虑) about math. A US study found that genetics can decide children’s math skills and anxiety over math. It studied over 500 sets of twins and found that genetics has something to do with math anxiety. Over 10 years, the twins did math tests and filled out questions about their math anxiety. They found that fraternal twins (异卵双胞胎) had different skills and anxiety over math. Identical twins (同卵双胞胎) were similar. This shows genes can influence people’s anxiety over math. Math anxiety has a stronger influence on a child’s abilities. It could bring the same feeling as being hurt in the body. This anxiety means that students will not want to practice math as much as they could. Then, they become even worse at math. It only adds to their anxiety about it. But if you are bad at math, don’t just look at your parents. Math anxiety is still rare (少见)—genetic reasons explained about 40 percent. The environment, including school and family, is also a reason. So in life, it’s important to know how to deal with anxiety. 1．Which question did the study try to answer? A．Why is math a difficult subject? B．What makes twins different? C．Can genetics decide on children’s math anxiety? D．Can parents pass on their character to their children? 2．According to the article, we can learn that ________. A．genetics is the main reason for math anxiety B．math anxiety can help students face problems C．children with better abilities won’t be better at math D．math anxiety makes students feel worse with math 3．What might the next paragraph of the passage talk about? A．Reasons for math anxiety. B．How to deal with math anxiety. C．How to communicate with parents. D．Ways of learning math well. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文探讨了基因对孩子数学能力和数学焦虑的影响。 1．细节理解题。根据“A US study found that genetics can decide children’s math skills and anxiety over math.”可知，研究主要是基因可以决定孩子的数学技能和对数学的焦虑。回答的是基因是否能决定孩子的数学焦虑。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“This anxiety means that students will not want to practice math as much as they could. Then, they become even worse at math.”可知，这种焦虑意味着学生不会尽可能多地练习数学，然后他们数学会变得更差。故选D。 3．篇章结构题。根据“So in life, it’s important to know how to deal with anxiety”可知，如何处理焦虑是非常重要的，文章下一段应该讲解如何处理焦虑。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·蚌埠市五河县联考·期中） Zhao Chengnan is a college student.

Gu Huijing, an 18-year-old girl, won the first prize at a competition for automobile repair in Guangdong. Over 33 teams from different cities took part in it, and Gu was the first girl in Guangdong Province to take part in such a competition and win the first prize. She completed the disassembly and assembly of an engine (发动机拆装) in just 26 minutes, breaking the school record. Unlike other girls, Gu was always interested in robots and driverless cars when she was young. But she didn’t perform well in some subjects in junior high school. “I did try my best to study math, but it didn’t work.” Gu said. Clearly knowing she would not get good grades on her gaokao, Gu decided to learn about cars in a vocational school (职业学校) instead of entering senior high. At first, her parents were very surprised and couldn’t accept her decision. After all, vocational schools were not so accepted by public. But Gu finally persuaded (说服) them in her own way. She researched the future development of the auto industry in her city, compared different schools’ running level and asked for advice from seniors. She also promised that she would stick to studying hard. Her parents came to realize that Gu was serious about it and then agreed. Speaking of the future, Gu said she was preparing for the coming exam of a university. “I hope to learn more in the auto industry. If possible, I want to take part in the World Skills Competition.

With the help of the Internet, they can watch videos, play games, and read news in English. But a new study shows that just learning English online is not enough. A study called “How15-Year-Olds Learn English” looked at 15-year-old students in five countries. The researchers found that students often use English to search for information online. However, they still have difficulty in speaking and writing English. They are better at reading and listening. Those are the things they often do, like reading news and listening to English songs, especially on the Internet. Students might feel shy when it comes to speaking. And they don’t want to write in English outside of school. Teachers think that using English online can make students more interested in the language, but it doesn’t help them as much in class. “Some of my students think they are better at English than they really are, so they don’t take school learning very seriously. That can hurt students’ learning and keep them from improving,” one teacher said. The study also found that textbooks still play a big role in English classes, although students use English a lot online outside of school. Teachers need to think about how to use the Internet and textbooks together to help students lear English better. 1．Because of the Internet, students are better at______. A．English speaking and writing B．English speaking and listening C．English reading and listening D．English reading and writing 2．How did the teacher feel about some of his students’ ideas? A．Glad.

C．Textbooks are not so important in English classes now. D．The Internet can’t take the place of the textbooks. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，一项研究发现，尽管学生通过互联网学习英语的方式增加了，但仅在网上学习并不足以提高他们的口语和写作能力，老师需要结合网络资源和教材来更好地帮助学生学英语。 1．细节理解题。根据“However, they still have difficulty in speaking and writing English. They are better at reading and listening.”可知，互联网提升的是学生的阅读和听力能力。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“Some of my students think they are better at English than they really are, so they don’t take school learning very seriously. That can hurt students’ learning and keep them from improving, 可推知，老师对一些学生的想法感到担忧。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“The study also found that textbooks still play a big role in English classes, although students use English a lot online outside of school.”可知，教科书在英语课堂上仍然发挥着重要作用，尽管学生们在课外经常在网上使用英语。由此推知学生应该学会如何明智地使用互联网。故选A。 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·合肥一六八中学·期中） Progress means the act of going forward. Making any kind of progress can make us healthy and happy in life. Slow progress is still progress. Just as the old saying goes, “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” Progress usually comes a lot more slowly than we expect. Even if progress is slow, try not to be worried. One important thing is that we keep taking steps towards our goals, and another is that we clearly remember what our goals are all the time. The speed isn’t important. The road to progress is not always smooth (顺利的). Most progress often comes with setbacks along the way. Sometimes, maybe it feels like we’re taking one step forward and three steps back, but it won’t always be like that. Keep going towards our goals and we can much more easily make the progress we want. Progress doesn’t always happen in a straight line. As long as we keep working, we will achieve higher levels. 1．What does progress make us do in life? A．Set long goals. B．Solve problems easily. C．Live healthily and happily. D．Think about new things. 2．What does the writer say about slow progress? A．It often goes smoothly. B．It still means progress. C．It sometimes stops progress. D．It always gives us a clear mind. 3．Which word is close to the underlined word “setbacks”? A．Prizes. B．Advantages. C．Excuses. D．Difficulties. 4．Which of the following is the best title (标题) for the text? A．Ideas about Making Progress B．Keys to Speeding up Progress C．Meanings of Having Confidence D．Suggestions on Relationships 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“进步”展开论述，核心观点包括：进步能让人在生活中健康快乐；即便进步缓慢，只要不停下脚步、牢记目标，就是有意义的；进步之路往往伴随着挫折，且未必是直线式的，但坚持向目标努力就能实现想要的进步。整体旨在传递对“进步”的理性认知，引导人们正确看待进步过程中的各种情况。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Making any kind of progress can make us healthy and happy in life.”可知，任何形式的进步都能让我们在生活中健康快乐。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Slow progress is still progress.”可知，作者明确指出缓慢的进步仍是进步。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据第三段“Most progress often comes with setbacks along the way. Sometimes, maybe it feels like we’re taking one step forward and three steps back, but it won’t always be like that.”可知，大多数进步之路常常伴随有“setbacks”，有时，可能感觉我们进一步退三步；“进一步退三步”形象地描述了在前进过程中遇到的“挫折、困难、倒退”，据此可以推断，划线单词“setbacks”与“difficulties”的含义最接近。故选D。 4．最佳标题题。本文围绕“进步”展开，依次论述了进步的作用、对缓慢进步的态度、进步过程中的挫折与非直线性等内容，核心是传递对“进步”的多种认知与观点；选项A“关于进步的看法”能全面概括全文主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·安庆二中（南区）·期中） Horses, dragons, and even the Monkey King—you probably wouldn’t believe to see this group of characters flying together in the sky, but this happens every year in Weifang, the “Kite Capital of the World” in East China’s Shandong Province. Kites, which were invented over 2,000 years ago in China are thought to be the earliest flying things created by humans. After centuries of development, kites have become one of the country’s traditional handicrafts (手工艺), and kite-making skills were included in the list of China’s national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2006. The traditional ways of Chinese kite-making include four steps: making the frame (骨架), putting paper onto the frame, painting, and then learning to fly the kite. Nowadays, the most common kite-making skills can be found in three places: Weifang in Shandong Province, Nantong in Jiangsu Province and Lhasa in Tibet. The city of Weifang is known as a center of kite culture and is widely believed as the birthplace of these popular flying toys. Weifang International Kite Festival has been held on the third Saturday of every April since 1984.

It makes studying the moon much faster and easier than before. The new tool came out in August at the China International Big Data Industry Expo in Guiyang, Guizhou. The Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Geochemistry (中国科学院地球化学研究所) and the Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Group (阿里云智能集团) made it together. The LLM is the “smart brain” for the digital moon, which has the most moon information in one place in the world, said Xinhua. On the moon, there are more than 1 million big craters (大陨石坑) and lots of small ones. It’s really hard for scientists to find all these holes by themselves. The LLM can tell and remember different craters by size, depth and shape. According to Liu Jianzhong, a researcher at the Institute of Geochemistry, the model is correct more than 80 percent of the time. Working things out faster helps scientists learn more quickly and get ready for harder missions (任务) in the future. Using big AI models for moon science can also teach researchers how to explore other planets better. “The LLM is like a child with a very high IQ.

Most people grow and sell their own fruit and vegetables. Keeping them fresh in the hot place is a real challenge. Without a fridge, most fresh food goes bad in several days. Throwing away the food means losing money for poor families. Eating the bad food causes serious health problems. Local teacher Mohammed Bah Abba was worried about this problem and decided to solve it. As a boy born into a family of clay pot (陶罐) makers, Mohammed knew that these traditional clay pots could keep water even when dry. In the 1990s he used this traditional knowledge and his understanding of science to invent a cooling system. It worked as a “desert fridge”. Mohammed’s cooling system is made up of two pots—a small pot inside a larger pot. In the space between the two clay pots,there is wet sand. People put the fruit and vegetables in the smaller pot,and cover it with a wet cloth. Then they leave the larger pot in a dry place. When water from the sand evaporates (蒸发）, it causes the temperature in the pots to go down. This way the food in the smaller pot is cool. With the pot-in-pot cooling system, food stays fresh much longer. Mohammed’s “desert fridge” has improved the lives of thousands of people. So in 2001 he won the Rolex Award for Enterprise, which is for the people who try to make the world a better place. 1．“This problem” in Paragraph 2 refers to the fact that ________ in Nigeria.

The reserve, with an area of 27.2 square kilometers, is home to some protected plants and animals. With birds singing, they walked through the forest to discover the secrets and wonders of wildflowers and trees. The children going on the study tour were mainly primary and middle school students. During the one-to-two-day tour, they could not only learn important survival skills in the wild, but also had the chance to watch how infrared (红外线的) cameras were used to take photos of wild animals. “As a form of nature education, our tours allow children to connect with nature and develop a deep understanding of it by sharing knowledge of the animals and plants in the mountains,” said Du. “During the first three days of June, we welcomed three groups of students. As the summer vacation is arriving, we expect more children to come here and experience the beauty of nature.” The popularity of educational tours has something to do with the improved environment in the mountains.

From July 1st, 2023, people who are found smoking on the city’s beaches can be fined. The smoking ban, covering all the beaches in the city, is to protect the environment and make sure that beach visitors in the city can enjoy a smoke-free environment, which will bring fresher air and cleaner-sands. Four of Barcelona’s beaches already became free of smoke in 2022 to test whether a larger ban would work. While there was no fine for smoking during the test ban, people were just asked not to smoke. “Every one understood the situation and followed the ban, so we hardly have to ask someone to leave a beach and smoke somewhere else,” said Eloi Badia, a city leader of Barcelona. The test ban also led to a large drop in the number of cigarette butts (烟蒂) that were left in the sand on those beaches. They are the most common rubbish found around the world, and can cause huge problems for the environment. Barcelona has become the first main city in Spain to ban smoking on its beaches. So far, of Spain’s over 3, 000 beaches, nearly 500 have already banned smoking, and the rest may not be far behind. The country is planning to ban smoking on every beach in Spain. 103．What do the first two paragraphs tell us about the smoking ban? ①Its purpose. ②Its starting time. ③The area it covers. ④The number of its rules. A．①③④ B．②③④ C．①②④ D．①②③ 1 ．What did people do while there was no fine for smoking during the test ban? A．They did well in following it. B．They needed to be warned. C．They chose to visit the beaches less. D．They were unable to understand it. 2．What does the underlined part “the rest may not be far behind” in the text mean? A．The other cities are not far from Barcelona. B．The other beaches may be free of smoke soon. C．There is a long way to go to ban smoking in Spain. D．Visitors should enjoy themselves far from the beaches. 3．What is the purpose of the text? A．To call for people to give up smoking. B．To collect people’s opinions about a ban. C．To report some news about protecting beaches. D．To show the importance of protecting the environment. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了西班牙的巴塞罗为了保护环境在海滩上禁止吸烟，违反规定将要被罚款。 1．主旨大意题。根据“From July 1st, 2023, people who are found smoking on the city’s beaches can be fined”可知，从2023年7月1日起，在该市海滩上吸烟的人可能会被罚款。文章告知了禁烟开始的时间。根据“The smoking ban, covering all the beaches in the city, is to protect the environment and make sure...”可知，禁烟令覆盖了该市的所有海滩，旨在保护环境，文章告知了禁烟的目的以及覆盖的范围。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Every one understood the situation and followed the ban, so we hardly have to ask someone to leave a beach and smoke somewhere else”可知，每个人都了解情况并遵守了禁令，所以我们几乎不必要求别人离开海滩到其他地方吸烟。可知大家都遵守这个禁令。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“So far, of Spain’s over 3, 000 beaches, nearly 500 have already banned smoking”可知，到目前为止，在西班牙的3000多个海滩中，近500个已经禁止吸烟，可知剩余的海滩也会跟随其后，可知其他海滩很快就会无烟。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，写这篇文章主要是为了报道一些关于禁烟的新闻从而达到保护海滩的目的。故选C。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
