Passage 1
(24-25九年级上·江西南昌·期中)
In spring 2021, Battersea Arts Centre, a venue (地点) in southwest London, introduced “pay what you can” for all its shows. The reason is simple—they believe that everyone should be able to be a part of the great work, regardless of (不管) their ability to pay. Should all shows be “pay what you can”?
Some supporters believe it’s a good idea. In the 17th century when Shakespeare was writing his plays, everyone went to the theatre. The cheapest ticket in London was one penny. This is how shows should be open to everyone, no matter how much they earn. Paying what you can is in the spirit of Shakespeare’s time, and it opens the arts to all. It also shows that many art venues are a type of charity (慈善机构) that provide public benefits and spread culture. That doesn’t mean the show isn’t good.
However, this idea makes some people worried and some opponents (反对者) are against it. Society expects art for free—free art shows, free music, free videos. △ For some people “pay what you can” would mean “pay what you want to”—nothing. It is expensive to put on a show. If the audience want to see a good show, they should pay a part of what it costs to put on. A survey by Arts Professional magazine found that many people avoid shows not because they are too expensive but because they don’t think they will enjoy themselves. Art venues should focus on making the best shows they can, and price the tickets to reflect the quality (质量).
1.Why was “pay what you can” introduced?
A.To attract people to watch the show.
B.To improve people’s ability of art.
C.To teach poor people to make artworks.
D.To let everyone have the chance to enjoy great works.
2.What can we know about art venues in Shakespeare’s time?
A.They were free to anyone. B.They helped to spread culture.
C.They taught people arts for free. D.They gave away money to poor people.
3.Which of the following sentences can be put in the △ ?
A.There is bad service in free art shows. B.People will pay less attention to art.
C.This makes people expect any art for free. D.People can save money to learn art.
4.How does the author (作者) write this passage?
A.By comparing ideas. B.By listing numbers.
C.By connecting facts. D.By giving examples.

Passage 6
(23-24九年级上·江西南昌·期中)
Driving a car, using heating in winter lots of things you do send out CO2 into the air. But do you know that the food you eat every day plays a big role in your carbon footprint (碳足迹), too?
According to The Conversation, an Australian website, about one- third of the world’s carbon emissions (排放) come from agriculture and food. To create fewer carbon emissions from food systems, The Conversation provides some ideas.
①________
When people make traditional fertilizers (肥料), they need to burn coal. That causes lots of carbon emissions. At the same time, fertilizers are often overused, causing greater land pollution. Now, some companies let microorganisms (微生物) live together with crops (庄稼). This not only lowers carbon emissions, but also helps the nature become healthier.
②________
Vertical (垂直的) farms take up small space of land and grow crops in a controlled environment. This way of farming cells allow dogs to perceive (感知) color and see things in detail, while the rod cells help them see things in the dark and helps to save land so that more forests can be grown. Some new vertical farms also use energy- saving LED lights to produce year- round crops. They can save both resources (资源) and manpower,.
③________
The latest Standard Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese (《现代汉语规范词典》) came out in August, 2022. It has about 1,000 new phrases, such as carbon neutrality (碳中和). Many people, companies and countries around the world have promised to become carbon neutral. It means that the CO2 they send out will be the same amount as the CO2 they remove from the air. As forests and plants can take in CO2, as long as we cut down our carbon emissions and try to protect the environment, carbon neutrality is possible.
19.What can we learn from The Conversation?
A.Growing crops won’t give out CO2.
B.Agriculture and food cause great carbon emissions.
C.Most of the carbon emissions are from food systems.
D.One- third of the world’s carbon emissions come from food waste.
20.How do fertilizers cause pollution? Check and choose the right answer.
①Coal is burned to make them.
②They hurt microorganisms in crops.
③They become a part of the ecosystem.
④The overuse of them causes land pollution.
A.①② B.②④ C.①④ D.②③
21.Why is a vertical farm better than a traditional one?
A.It can save more land. B.It uses fewer LED lights.
C.It can help plants grow faster D.It doesn’t need water and sunlight.
22.Match the title with each paragraph.
a. Smart fertilizers
b. Vertical farming

(23-24九年级上·江西南昌·期中)
People who have dogs love to talk about dogs. If you have a dog if you are friends with a dog owner, you’ve probably heard many interesting facts and stores about these four-legged friends of our You may have heard someone say that dogs are color-blind. But is this true?
A dog’s eyes have many similarities with human eyes. Just like us, dogs have retinas (视网膜). The retina is an important light-sensing structure. Dogs also have cone cells (视锥细胞) and rod cells (视杆细胞) on their retinas. The cone notice movement.
Most humans have three kinds of con e cells: blue, red and green. They allow us to tell the difference between all the different colors. But dogs have only two kinds of con e cells. One kind is blue, and the other lies somewhere between red and green. Therefore, dogs are unable to tell orange, red and green. They can only see things in yellow, blue, grey, brown, white and black. In other words, the vision (视力) of dogs is similar to that of a red-green color-blind human. Although they have fewer kinds of con e cells, dogs have more rod cells than humans. This allows them to see more clearly in the dark and notice movement more exactly than us. While a camper is spending a night outdoors with his dog, for example, the dog may suddenly stand up and stare into the darkness. This can be a little worrying for campers who are alone. The dog, however, may have simply seen a small mouse moving across the grass far away that we might never be able to spot.
The next time someone mentions that dogs are color-blind, you can remind them, “They’re red-green color blind.” While it may be true that our lovely animal friends see fewer colors, they can still see better than us in many other ways!
39.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.The reasons why dogs can see clearly in the dark.
B.The similarities between dogs’ eyes and human eyes.
C.How the rod cells help dogs see the world in the dark.
D.The fact that dogs have more con e cells than humans.
40.Which color can a dog see? Check and choose the right answer.
①black ②orange ③blue ④yellow ⑤green ⑥red
A.①③④ B.②③④ C.③④⑤ D.④⑤⑥
41.What does the underlined word “spot” mean?
A.Show. B.Get. C.Hide. D.See.
42.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Cone cells make it possible for dogs to see things at night.
B.Dogs can tell the difference between a red light and a green light.
C.A dog can be a great helper for people who live in the wild at night.
D.Dogs are our good friends because they can help us see more colors.

Passage 6
(23-24九年级上·江西南昌·期中)
Driving a car, using heating in winter lots of things you do send out CO2 into the air. But do you know that the food you eat every day plays a big role in your carbon footprint (碳足迹), too?
According to The Conversation, an Australian website, about one- third of the world’s carbon emissions (排放) come from agriculture and food. To create fewer carbon emissions from food systems, The Conversation provides some ideas.
①________
When people make traditional fertilizers (肥料), they need to burn coal. That causes lots of carbon emissions. At the same time, fertilizers are often overused, causing greater land pollution. Now, some companies let microorganisms (微生物) live together with crops (庄稼). This not only lowers carbon emissions, but also helps the nature become healthier.
②________
Vertical (垂直的) farms take up small space of land and grow crops in a controlled environment. This way of farming cells allow dogs to perceive (感知) color and see things in detail, while the rod cells help them see things in the dark and helps to save land so that more forests can be grown. Some new vertical farms also use energy- saving LED lights to produce year- round crops. They can save both resources (资源) and manpower,.
③________
The latest Standard Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese (《现代汉语规范词典》) came out in August, 2022. It has about 1,000 new phrases, such as carbon neutrality (碳中和). Many people, companies and countries around the world have promised to become carbon neutral. It means that the CO2 they send out will be the same amount as the CO2 they remove from the air. As forests and plants can take in CO2, as long as we cut down our carbon emissions and try to protect the environment, carbon neutrality is possible.
19.What can we learn from The Conversation?
A.Growing crops won’t give out CO2.
B.Agriculture and food cause great carbon emissions.
C.Most of the carbon emissions are from food systems.
D.One- third of the world’s carbon emissions come from food waste.
20.How do fertilizers cause pollution? Check and choose the right answer.
①Coal is burned to make them.
②They hurt microorganisms in crops.
③They become a part of the ecosystem.
④The overuse of them causes land pollution.
A.①② B.②④ C.①④ D.②③
21.Why is a vertical farm better than a traditional one?
A.It can save more land. B.It uses fewer LED lights.
C.It can help plants grow faster D.It doesn’t need water and sunlight.
22.Match the title with each paragraph.
a. Smart fertilizers
b. Vertical farming
c. Carbon neutrality
d. Understanding carbon language
e. Crops in a controlled environment
A.①-a; ②-e; ③-d B.①-d; ②-b; ③-c
C.①-a; ②-b; ③-c D.①-e; ②-b; ③-d
23.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Follow Carbon Footprints B.Protect the Nature

Passage 3
(23-24九年级上·江西南昌·期中)
People who have dogs love to talk about dogs. If you have a dog if you are friends with a dog owner, you’ve probably heard many interesting facts and stores about these four-legged friends of our You may have heard someone say that dogs are color-blind. But is this true?
A dog’s eyes have many similarities with human eyes. Just like us, dogs have retinas (视网膜). The retina is an important light-sensing structure. Dogs also have cone cells (视锥细胞) and rod cells (视杆细胞) on their retinas. The cone notice movement.
Most humans have three kinds of con e cells: blue, red and green. They allow us to tell the difference between all the different colors. But dogs have only two kinds of con e cells. One kind is blue, and the other lies somewhere between red and green. Therefore, dogs are unable to tell orange, red and green. They can only see things in yellow, blue, grey, brown, white and black. In other words, the vision (视力) of dogs is similar to that of a red-green color-blind human. Although they have fewer kinds of con e cells, dogs have more rod cells than humans. This allows them to see more clearly in the dark and notice movement more exactly than us. While a camper is spending a night outdoors with his dog, for example, the dog may suddenly stand up and stare into the darkness. This can be a little worrying for campers who are alone. The dog, however, may have simply seen a small mouse moving across the grass far away that we might never be able to spot.
The next time someone mentions that dogs are color-blind, you can remind them, “They’re red-green color blind.” While it may be true that our lovely animal friends see fewer colors, they can still see better than us in many other ways!
39.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.The reasons why dogs can see clearly in the dark.
B.The similarities between dogs’ eyes and human eyes.
C.How the rod cells help dogs see the world in the dark.
D.The fact that dogs have more con e cells than humans.
40.Which color can a dog see? Check and choose the right answer.
①black ②orange ③blue ④yellow ⑤green ⑥red
A.①③④ B.②③④ C.③④⑤ D.④⑤⑥
41.What does the underlined word “spot” mean?
A.Show. B.Get. C.Hide. D.See.

【答案】39.B 40.A 41.D 42.C 43.A
【导语】本文围绕“狗是色盲吗?”这个话题展开介绍。
39.段落大意题。根据“A dog’s eyes have many similarities with human eyes.”可知,狗的眼睛和人类眼睛有相似之处。故选B。
40.细节理解题。根据“Dogs are unable to tell orange, red and green. They can only see things in yellow, blue, grey, brown, white and black.”可知,狗可以看到的颜色包括黄色、蓝色、灰色、棕色、白色和黑色。选项A包含黑色、蓝色和黄色,都是狗能够看到的颜色。故选A。
41.词义猜测题。根据“The dog, however, may have simply seen a small mouse moving across the grass far away that we might never be able to spot.”可知,狗可能只是看到了远处草地上移动的老鼠,而我们可能永远无法看到。由此可知,spot在此处意为“看到”。故选D。
42.推理判断题。根据“This allows them to see more clearly in the dark and notice movement more exactly than us.”可知,狗在黑暗中看得更清楚,比我们更准确地注意到运动,所以狗在野外的夜晚能对人们有很大帮助。故选C。
43.篇章结构题。第一段提出问题“狗是色盲吗?”;第二三段分别介绍了狗的眼睛和人的眼睛的相似点和不同点;第四段得出结论“准确地说,狗只是红绿色盲”。故选A。
