Different people may have different opinions. I think it’s good to keep animals as pets. First, pets like cats or dogs can be our good friends. When we feel lonely, they stay with us and make us happy. Second, taking care of pets teaches us responsibility—we need to feed them and clean their houses on time. But we must treat pets kindly, not just play with them when we want. If we can love and care for them, living with pets will make our life more colorful. 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年九年级上学期期中模拟卷03 英 语 （考试时间：90分钟 试卷满分：120分） 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 Part 1 Grammar and Vocabulary (第一部分 语法和词汇) I.

More and more people speak the three most common languages: English, Spanish, and Mandarin. 45 , local languages are being forgotten. In many parts of the world, grandparents speak a language their grandchildren do not understand. As cultures adjust to these changes, and languages aren’t taught to children or spoken at home, these local languages are slowly disappearing. A language is said to be in trouble when less than 30 percent of children in the community speak it. It is considered a 46 language. If children no longer learn to use a language, it will have fewer and fewer speakers over time and, in the end, the language will be gone. 47 should we keep languages alive? Languages hold the key to understanding a culture’s beliefs and values. They show how a culture understands or explains the world. “You need to look at a variety of languages, because no one language gets it all,” said anthropologist (人类学家) Dr. Linda Cumberland who is working to 48 Assiniboine, a Native American language. According to Dr. Cumberland, a language in trouble needs not only a 49 but also people who understand and record its grammar. Most importantly, you need to listen to those who still speak the language. This can be very difficult, especially if there are very few speakers of the language left. For example, when researchers were working to save the language Ayange C yapaneco in Mexico, it was hard for them to record anything because the last two people on Earth who could speak the language 50 to speak to each other! 45．A．For example B．As a result C．By the way D．In addition 46．A．dying B．strange C．silent D．foreign 47．A．How B．When C．Why D．Where 48．A．learn B．find C．use D．save 49．A．library B．dictionary C．notebook D．telephone 50．A．forgot B．chose C．refused D．continued C. Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给)(14分) The Power of Memory Memory, the ability that enables the retention of past experiences, is essentially connected to the process of learning. One needs memory for skills like riding a bicycle. A dog needs it to respond to commands. Memory is said to be s 51 in the brain as a “memory trace.” What makes up this trace is not known. Some scientists believe that certain chemical substances may carry certain memories. For example, one substance, when given to rats, causes them to fear the darkness. Other research into memory has to do with how the brain works. Psychologists use three means to find out how a person remembers. For example, give a person a grocery list. Let the person m 52 the list, then put it away. The most natural way to find out how much a person remembers of the grocery list is to ask w 53 he or she remembers. This is called the method of recall. Another technique is recognition. The individual is presented with a different list and tasked with identifying items from the original list that appear only on the second list. Interestingly, individuals often find it easier to recognize rather than recall items. At 54 method of finding how much a person remembers is called relearning. Here the person is asked to read over the first list. The person will probably learn the list the second time f 55 than he did the first time. The difference in the time it takes to relearn the list is thought of as a measure of how much a person has remembered. Repetition is a common strategy for committing information to memory, yet i 56 plays an important role. Boring lists of facts are much more difficult to remember than something that we understand and are interested in. Motivation, the drive to accomplish a task, is equally significant. Motivation is l 57 with the prospect of reward. For example, a hungry animal quickly learns how to do something if that action gets the animal food. In humans, wanting to learn is often motivation with the approval of a teacher or the affirmation of a correct response serving as a reward. D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12 分) Electives (选修课) are always popular with students because they offer the chance to learn something exciting, and they’re a welcome break from regular courses like maths and physics. Here are just a few of the exciting electives lucky teenagers can take in some of China’s middle schools. Self-defense skillsA school from Chongqing The school offers a self-defense course—just for girls. Those who attend the lessons have the chance to study basic self-protection skills in a one-on-one practice. They learn how to get away when they need to and defend themselves against attacks. “I feel safer in myself now,” said Zhang Yi, 15, a girl student. PotteryA school from Tianjin The famous pottery scene in a movie called Ghost is a lasting memory for many movie-goers. Young artists at the school love to get their hands dirty creating beautiful pieces. Students learn how to design various clay projects. At the end they have the skills to make their own bowls, cups, vases and pots. Horse ridingA school from Beijing Equestrians (马术) can look pretty cool, can’t they? Teenagers at this school can now choose a course in riding skills. They’re taught to communicate with their horses and how to use reins. To ride a horse in the proper way, a student must hold the head forward and keep his back straight. Students come away from this elective not only knowing how to ride a horse gracefully, but also physically fitter! Couplets (对联)A school from Nanjing How many of you can write a couplet? This old literary (文学的) form is slowly disappearing, but Chinese culture lovers at the school are trying to make it alive. For their elective, teenagers study old couplets and try to rhyme (押韵) their own lines. Many of this year’s students can’t wait for the Spring Festival, when they’ll be able to show off their new skills. 58．Maths and physics are electives in middle schools of China, aren’t they? 59．How many electives in Chinese middle schools are introduced in the article? 60．Why do girl students attend the self-defense course? 61．What skills can students be expected to learn in the elective “Pottery”? 62．What are the common advantages of “Self-defense skills” and “horse riding”? Both of the electives make students . 63．Who will the elective “Couplets” probably attract? Why?

Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给)(14分) The Power of Memory Memory, the ability that enables the retention of past experiences, is essentially connected to the process of learning. One needs memory for skills like riding a bicycle. A dog needs it to respond to commands. Memory is said to be s 51 in the brain as a “memory trace.” What makes up this trace is not known. Some scientists believe that certain chemical substances may carry certain memories. For example, one substance, when given to rats, causes them to fear the darkness. Other research into memory has to do with how the brain works. Psychologists use three means to find out how a person remembers. For example, give a person a grocery list. Let the person m 52 the list, then put it away. The most natural way to find out how much a person remembers of the grocery list is to ask w 53 he or she remembers. This is called the method of recall. Another technique is recognition. The individual is presented with a different list and tasked with identifying items from the original list that appear only on the second list. Interestingly, individuals often find it easier to recognize rather than recall items. At 54 method of finding how much a person remembers is called relearning. Here the person is asked to read over the first list. The person will probably learn the list the second time f 55 than he did the first time. The difference in the time it takes to relearn the list is thought of as a measure of how much a person has remembered. Repetition is a common strategy for committing information to memory, yet i 56 plays an important role. Boring lists of facts are much more difficult to remember than something that we understand and are interested in. Motivation, the drive to accomplish a task, is equally significant. Motivation is l 57 with the prospect of reward. For example, a hungry animal quickly learns how to do something if that action gets the animal food. In humans, wanting to learn is often motivation with the approval of a teacher or the affirmation of a correct response serving as a reward. D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12 分) Electives (选修课) are always popular with students because they offer the chance to learn something exciting, and they’re a welcome break from regular courses like maths and physics. Here are just a few of the exciting electives lucky teenagers can take in some of China’s middle schools. Self-defense skillsA school from Chongqing The school offers a self-defense course—just for girls. Those who attend the lessons have the chance to study basic self-protection skills in a one-on-one practice. They learn how to get away when they need to and defend themselves against attacks. “I feel safer in myself now,” said Zhang Yi, 15, a girl student. PotteryA school from Tianjin The famous pottery scene in a movie called Ghost is a lasting memory for many movie-goers. Young artists at the school love to get their hands dirty creating beautiful pieces. Students learn how to design various clay projects. At the end they have the skills to make their own bowls, cups, vases and pots. Horse ridingA school from Beijing Equestrians (马术) can look pretty cool, can’t they? Teenagers at this school can now choose a course in riding skills. They’re taught to communicate with their horses and how to use reins. To ride a horse in the proper way, a student must hold the head forward and keep his back straight. Students come away from this elective not only knowing how to ride a horse gracefully, but also physically fitter! Couplets (对联)A school from Nanjing How many of you can write a couplet? This old literary (文学的) form is slowly disappearing, but Chinese culture lovers at the school are trying to make it alive. For their elective, teenagers study old couplets and try to rhyme (押韵) their own lines. Many of this year’s students can’t wait for the Spring Festival, when they’ll be able to show off their new skills. 58．Maths and physics are electives in middle schools of China, aren’t they? 59．How many electives in Chinese middle schools are introduced in the article? 60．Why do girl students attend the self-defense course? 61．What skills can students be expected to learn in the elective “Pottery”? 62．What are the common advantages of “Self-defense skills” and “horse riding”? Both of the electives make students . 63．Who will the elective “Couplets” probably attract? Why?

More and more people speak the three most common languages: English, Spanish, and Mandarin. 45 , local languages are being forgotten. In many parts of the world, grandparents speak a language their grandchildren do not understand. As cultures adjust to these changes, and languages aren’t taught to children or spoken at home, these local languages are slowly disappearing. A language is said to be in trouble when less than 30 percent of children in the community speak it. It is considered a 46 language. If children no longer learn to use a language, it will have fewer and fewer speakers over time and, in the end, the language will be gone. 47 should we keep languages alive? Languages hold the key to understanding a culture’s beliefs and values. They show how a culture understands or explains the world. “You need to look at a variety of languages, because no one language gets it all,” said anthropologist (人类学家) Dr. Linda Cumberland who is working to 48 Assiniboine, a Native American language. According to Dr. Cumberland, a language in trouble needs not only a 49 but also people who understand and record its grammar. Most importantly, you need to listen to those who still speak the language. This can be very difficult, especially if there are very few speakers of the language left. For example, when researchers were working to save the language Ayange C yapaneco in Mexico, it was hard for them to record anything because the last two people on Earth who could speak the language 50 to speak to each other! 45．A．For example B．As a result C．By the way D．In addition 46．A．dying B．strange C．silent D．foreign 47．A．How B．When C．Why D．Where 48．A．learn B．find C．use D．save 49．A．library B．dictionary C．notebook D．telephone 50．A．forgot B．chose C．refused D．continued 【答案】45．B 46．A 47．C 48．D 49．B 50．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了全球语言多样性的现状及其面临的挑战，特别是地方语言和濒危语言的消失问题，呼吁人们关注和保护语言多样性，以防止语言的消失和文化的丧失。 45．句意：因此，地方语言正在被人们遗忘。 For example例如；As a result因此，结果是；By the way顺便说一下；In addition另外。根据上文“More and more people speak the three most common languages: English, Spanish, and Mandarin.”可知，越来越多的人说英语、西班牙语和普通话这三种最常见的语言，这种行为导致的结果是地方语言正在被遗忘。故选B。 46．句意：它被视为一种濒危语言。 dying垂死的；strange奇怪的；silent沉默的；foreign外国的。根据上文“A language is said to be in trouble when less than 30 percent of children in the community speak it.”可知，当社区中少于30%的孩子说一种语言时，这种语言就处于困境中，所以此处是指这种语言即将消失。故选A。 47．句意：为什么我们应该保持语言的活力呢？ How如何；When何时；Why为什么；Where哪里。根据下文“Languages hold the key to understanding a culture’s beliefs and values.”可知，语言对于理解文化的信仰和价值观至关重要，所以此处是询问保持语言活力的原因，应用why作特殊疑问词。故选C。 48．句意：人类学家琳达·坎伯兰博士说：“你需要研究各种语言，因为没有一种语言能包罗万象。”她正在努力拯救美国土著语言阿西尼博因语。 learn学习；find找到；use使用；save拯救。根据上文语境和下文“researchers were working to save the language Ayange C yapaneco in Mexico”可知，上文提到保持语言活力的重要性，而下文提到研究人员正在努力拯救墨西哥的Ayange C yapaneco语言，所以此处是指人类学家正在拯救一种濒危语言。故选D。 49．句意：据坎伯兰博士说，濒危语言不仅需要词典，还需要理解和记录其语法的人。 library图书馆；dictionary词典；notebook笔记本；telephone电话。根据常识可知，词典是记录语言词汇和语法的专业工具，是语言保护的重要资源或手段。故选B。 50．句意：例如，当研究人员致力于拯救墨西哥的Ayange C yapaneco语言时，他们很难记录下任何东西，因为地球上最后两位会说这种语言的人拒绝相互交流！ forgot忘记；chose选择；refused拒绝；continued继续。根据“it was hard for them to record anything”可知，很难记录任何东西，所以此处是指最后两位会说这种语言的人拒绝相互交流。故选C。 C. Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给)(14分) The Power of Memory Memory, the ability that enables the retention of past experiences, is essentially connected to the process of learning. One needs memory for skills like riding a bicycle. A dog needs it to respond to commands. Memory is said to be s 51 in the brain as a “memory trace.” What makes up this trace is not known. Some scientists believe that certain chemical substances may carry certain memories. For example, one substance, when given to rats, causes them to fear the darkness. Other research into memory has to do with how the brain works. Psychologists use three means to find out how a person remembers. For example, give a person a grocery list. Let the person m 52 the list, then put it away. The most natural way to find out how much a person remembers of the grocery list is to ask w 53 he or she remembers. This is called the method of recall. Another technique is recognition. The individual is presented with a different list and tasked with identifying items from the original list that appear only on the second list. Interestingly, individuals often find it easier to recognize rather than recall items. At 54 method of finding how much a person remembers is called relearning. Here the person is asked to read over the first list. The person will probably learn the list the second time f 55 than he did the first time. The difference in the time it takes to relearn the list is thought of as a measure of how much a person has remembered. Repetition is a common strategy for committing information to memory, yet i 56 plays an important role. Boring lists of facts are much more difficult to remember than something that we understand and are interested in. Motivation, the drive to accomplish a task, is equally significant. Motivation is l 57 with the prospect of reward. For example, a hungry animal quickly learns how to do something if that action gets the animal food. In humans, wanting to learn is often motivation with the approval of a teacher or the affirmation of a correct response serving as a reward. 【答案】51．(s)tored 52．(m)emorize 53．(w)hat 54．third 55．(f)aster 56．(i)t 57．(l)inked 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了科学家对记忆的研究。 51．句意：记忆据说是作为“记忆痕迹”储存在大脑中的。根据“in the brain as a ‘memory trace.’”可知，留有记忆痕迹说明记忆被储存在脑中，此处意为“被储存在大脑中”，应为被动语态，所以填空处使用动词的过去分词，store“储存”的过去分词是stored。故填(s)tored。 52．句意：让这个人记住清单，然后把它收起来。根据“The most natural way to find out how much a person remembers of the grocery list”可知说的是记住清单内容，且根据首字母m可知，memorize“记住”符合语境，let sb. do sth.“让某人做某事”，固定搭配，此处应用动词原形。故填(m)emorize。 53．句意：想知道一个人对购物清单记得多少，最自然的方法是问他或她记得什么。根据句意可知，此处意为“问他或她记得什么”，此处作remembers的宾语，应用what引导宾语从句。故填(w)hat。 54．句意：第三种发现一个人记得多少的方法叫做再学习。根据“This is called the method of recall”和“Another technique is recognition.”可知，此处意为“第三种方法”，使用序数词third。故填third。 55．句意：这个人第二次可能会比第一次学得更快。第二次应该比第一次更快，fast“快地”符合题意，结合后面的than可知，此处使用副词的比较级，fast的比较级是faster。故填(f)aster。 56．句意：重复是记忆信息的常用策略，但它也起着重要的作用。根据句意可知，Repetition“重复”，名词，此处用代词it指代Repetition。故填(i)t。 57．句意：动机与对回报的期望联系在一起。be linked with…“与……相连”，固定搭配，所以，“linked连接”符合题意，指动机与对回报的期望联系在一起。故填(l)inked。 D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12 分) Electives (选修课) are always popular with students because they offer the chance to learn something exciting, and they’re a welcome break from regular courses like maths and physics. Here are just a few of the exciting electives lucky teenagers can take in some of China’s middle schools. Self-defense skillsA school from Chongqing The school offers a self-defense course—just for girls. Those who attend the lessons have the chance to study basic self-protection skills in a one-on-one practice. They learn how to get away when they need to and defend themselves against attacks. “I feel safer in myself now,” said Zhang Yi, 15, a girl student. PotteryA school from Tianjin The famous pottery scene in a movie called Ghost is a lasting memory for many movie-goers. Young artists at the school love to get their hands dirty creating beautiful pieces. Students learn how to design various clay projects. At the end they have the skills to make their own bowls, cups, vases and pots. Horse ridingA school from Beijing Equestrians (马术) can look pretty cool, can’t they? Teenagers at this school can now choose a course in riding skills. They’re taught to communicate with their horses and how to use reins. To ride a horse in the proper way, a student must hold the head forward and keep his back straight. Students come away from this elective not only knowing how to ride a horse gracefully, but also physically fitter! Couplets (对联)A school from Nanjing How many of you can write a couplet? This old literary (文学的) form is slowly disappearing, but Chinese culture lovers at the school are trying to make it alive. For their elective, teenagers study old couplets and try to rhyme (押韵) their own lines. Many of this year’s students can’t wait for the Spring Festival, when they’ll be able to show off their new skills. 58．Maths and physics are electives in middle schools of China, aren’t they? 59．How many electives in Chinese middle schools are introduced in the article? 60．Why do girl students attend the self-defense course? 61．What skills can students be expected to learn in the elective “Pottery”? 62．What are the common advantages of “Self-defense skills” and “horse riding”? Both of the electives make students . 63．Who will the elective “Couplets” probably attract? Why? 【答案】58．No, they aren’t. 59．Four. 60．Because they want to learn how to get away when they need to and defend themselves against attacks./To learn how to get away when they need to and defend themselves against attacks. 61．Students can learn how to design and make clay products./How to design and make clay products. 62．fitter/stronger/healthier 63．It will attract those who love Chinese literature (literary works). Because in the course they can learn the traditional way of writing couplets and make the disappearing skill alive./Because they can try creating new couplets in the coming Spring Festival and show the beauty of traditional Chinese skill. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国部分中学为青少年提供的几种有趣的选修课，包括自卫技能课、陶艺课、马术课和对联课。 58．根据“Electives are always popular with students because they offer the chance to learn something exciting, and they’re a welcome break from regular courses like maths and physics.”可知，数学和物理是常规课程，而不是选修课。故填No, they aren’t. 59．综合全文可知，文章提到了四种选修课，分别是Self-defense skills、Pottery、Horse riding和Couplets。故填Four. 60．根据“Those who attend the lessons have the chance to study basic self-protection skills in a one-on-one practice. They learn how to get away when they need to and defend themselves against attacks.”可知，女学生参加自卫课程，学习如何在需要的时候逃离并保护自己免受攻击。故填Because they want to learn how to get away when they need to and defend themselves against attacks./To learn how to get away when they need to and defend themselves against attacks. 61．根据“Pottery...Students learn how to design various clay projects. At the end they have the skills to make their own bowls, cups, vases and pots.”可知，在陶艺选修课中，学生可以学习如何设计各种粘土项目，并最终掌握制作碗、杯、花瓶和壶的技能。故填Students can learn how to design and make clay products./How to design and make clay products. 62．“Self-defense skills”可以让学生学习自我保护技能，提高安全意识；“Horse riding”则不仅可以让学生掌握骑马技巧，还能提高他们的身体素质。因此，这两种选修课的共同优势是都能让学生变得更强壮、更健康。故填fitter/stronger/healthier。 63．根据“This old literary form is slowly disappearing, but Chinese culture lovers at the school are trying to make it alive. For their elective, teenagers study old couplets and try to rhyme their own lines. Many of this year’s students can’t wait for the Spring Festival, when they’ll be able to show off their new skills.”可知，“对联”将吸引那些热爱中国文学（文学作品）的人。因为在这个过程中，他们可以学习传统的对联书写方式，让消失的技能活起来。他们可以在即将到来的春节里尝试创作新的对联。故填It will attract those who love Chinese literature (literary works). Because in the course they can learn the traditional way of writing couplets and make the disappearing skill alive./Because they can try creating new couplets in the coming Spring Festival and show the beauty of traditional Chinese skill.
