The story of the poem dates back to the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1076. Su Shi, a great writer of the Song Dynasty, couldn’t sleep that night. For seven years, he had been separated from his brother. Looking at the moon and thinking of his brother, he wrote the poem. Here are some famous lines. Men have sorrow and joy, they part or meet again; The moon is bright or dim and she may wax (月满) or wane (月缺). There has been nothing perfect since the olden days. So let us wish that man will live long as he can! Though miles apart, we’ll share the beauty she displays. In the first two lines the writer compares the life of a man to the changing face of the moon. In Chinese culture, a full moon symbolizes perfection and getting together. When the moon is round and fair but people are separated from their loved ones. Before the comparison, Su Shi complains (抱怨) about the “ruthless (无情的)” moon and asks her, “Why when people part, are you often full and bright?” However, he soon realizes that no one has an easy ride, just like the moon may not always be bright. That’s why the poet says “There has been nothing perfect since the olden days”. But should we stand still with things that we can’t make a difference? Su Shi gives his answer: Change your mind and stay positive. So, we have the last line of the poem. The poet hopes people can avoid losing in the sadness of life and instead enjoy the fact that no matter where they are, as long as the ones they love and miss are healthy and happy, they all can admire the same moon and share this beauty. 26.

The changing face of the moon. 29. What can we infer (推断) from the last line of Su Shi’s poem? A. Su Shi was full of thanks. B. Su Shi was full of hope. C. Su Shi was full of worries. 30. What does the poem want to tell us in the end? A. Stay positive about life. B. Be confident in yourself. C. Be brave to face difficulties. 【答案】26. A 27. C 28. C 29. B 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国宋代大文豪苏轼的著名诗篇《水调歌头·明月几时有》的创作背景、诗中意象的对比、以及诗歌所传达的从哀怨到豁达的人生态度和对亲人的美好祝愿。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The story of the poem dates back to the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1076.”以及“The moon is bright or dim and she may wax (月满) or wane (月缺).”可知，这首诗与中秋节和月亮有关。结合常识，《水调歌头》里有提到中秋和月亮。故选A。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“For seven years, he had been separated from his brother.”可知，苏轼写这首诗时，已经有七年没有见到他的弟弟了。故选C。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In the first two lines, the writer compares the life of a man to the changing face of the moon.”可知，苏轼将人生比作月亮的盈亏变化。故选C。 29题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The poet hopes people can avoid losing in the sadness of life and instead enjoy the fact that no matter where they are, as long as the ones they love and miss are healthy and happy, they all can admire the same moon and share this beauty.”可知，诗歌的结尾表达了一种美好的希望和祝愿，即希望人们能摆脱悲伤，享受生活，并祝愿所爱之人健康快乐。这体现了作者心中充满了希望。故选B。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Change your mind and stay positive.”以及“The poet hopes people can avoid losing in the sadness of life and instead enjoy the fact that…”可知，诗歌最终传达的核心信息是鼓励人们改变心态，摆脱悲伤，享受生活，即对生活保持积极的态度。故选A。 D Pillows (枕头) have been around for thousands of years from ancient stone pillows to modern soft pillows. Here is how different pillow cultures developed and the design of pillows improved. Some people say that the first pillows were invented thousands of years ago by the ancient Mesopotamians, and the pillows were made of stone and carved (雕刻) into a cradle shape. They were not designed for comfort. Instead, they were used to lift the sleeper’s head so that insects wouldn’t enter a sleeper’s mouth, nose or ears! Because the stones were expensive, the pillows were only available for rich people. In ancient Egypt, people believed the head was the center of our bodies and it should be cared for and protected. Egyptian pillows were made of ivory, wood or stones. The ancient Chinese had the knowledge of how to create soft pillows, but they preferred hard pillows made of jade (玉), bamboo and so on. And porcelain (瓷器) pillows are among the best preserved (保存) from historical records. The porcelain pillows were first produced in the Sui Dynasty, became more popular during the Tang Dynasty and reached the top in the Song Dynasty. Today, pillows come in different shapes and types. And besides providing comfort for people’s heads and necks, they also play an important role in health care. For example, some pillows are designed to be good for headaches and shoulder pain. 31. What were the first pillows designed for? A. Keeping away large animals. B. Making the house beautiful. C. Lifting the sleeper’s head. 32. Why were the first pillows only for rich people? A. Because few people like stones. B. Because the stones were expensive at that time. C Because poor people were not allowed to use pillows. 33. What kind of pillow can be preserved best from historical records? A. The porcelain pillow. B. The cotton pillow. C. The bamboo pillow. 34. What do we know from the last paragraph? A. Pillows mean good luck all over the world. B. Pillows were first produced in the Tang Dynasty in China. C. Today many pillows are designed to keep people healthy. 35. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Different kinds of pillows. B. The development and improvement of pillows. C. The uses of pillows 【答案】31. C 32. B 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了枕头从古代到现代的演变历史，包括其早期功能、不同文明（美索不达米亚、埃及、中国）中的枕头文化，以及现代枕头的发展和功能。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They were not designed for comfort. Instead, they were used to lift the sleeper’s head so that insects wouldn’t enter a sleeper’s mouth, nose or ears.”可知，最早的枕头不是为了舒适，而是为了抬高睡眠者的头部，以防止昆虫进入口、鼻或耳朵。故选C。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Because the stones were expensive, the pillows were only available for rich people.”可知，早期的枕头只有富人能用，是因为当时制作枕头的石头很昂贵。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“And porcelain (瓷器) pillows are among the best preserved (保存) from historical records.”可知，从历史记录来看，瓷枕是保存得最好的一种枕头。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“…some pillows are designed to be good for headaches and shoulder pain.”可知，现在的一些枕头被设计用于缓解头痛和肩痛，这体现了其在健康方面的作用。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章按照从古至今的时间顺序，介绍了枕头的起源、在不同古文明（美索不达米亚、埃及、中国）中的发展，以及现代枕头的功能改进。文章的核心是围绕枕头的演变历史和设计改进展开的。因此，“枕头的发展和改进”最能概括全文的主旨。故选B。 四、口语交际（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面对话，从文后的6个选项中选择5个恰当的选项完成此对话。 A: Hi, Martin.

The task must be c________ by this Friday. Mr. Wang will ask about it then. 【答案】completed##ompleted 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个任务必须在周五前被完成。王先生到时会问起它。根据“must be...by this Friday. Mr. Wang will ask about it then.”及首字母可知，应需要在周五前完成任务，complete“完成”，must be后应跟过去分词构成被动语态，故填completed。 二、语法填空 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 When you step into a new environment, you must have a strong wish to fit in (适应). Fitting in means making more friends, having more influence on others and getting more chances to live ____46____ more comfortable life. Here are some ____47____(suggest) that can help you.

If##When 50. yourself 51. known 52. of 53. least 54. happily 55. be accepted 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了在新环境中适应的方法，包括要自信、对人友善、积极参与团体活动、保持乐观等。 【46题详解】 句意：适应意味着交更多朋友、对他人有更多影响，并有更多机会过更舒适的生活。根据“live…more comfortable life”可知，此处需要不定冠词修饰可数名词“life”，more首字母发辅音音素，所以用a。故填a。 【47题详解】 句意：这里有一些建议可以帮助你。根据“some”和提示词“suggest”可知，此处需要填名词复数形式，“suggest”的名词形式是“suggestion”，故填suggestions。 【48题详解】 句意：如果是这样，人们会逐渐为你感到骄傲。根据“be…of you”和提示词“pride”可知，空处需要填形容词作表语，pride的形容词是proud。故填proud。 【49题详解】 句意：当人们注意到你的友善时，他们总有一天会回报的。/如果人们注意到你的友善，他们总有一天会回报的。根据“...people notice your kindness”和“they will return it one day”前后句逻辑关系可知，前半句可以理解为是后半句的条件状语，也可以理解为是时间状语，if“如果”引导，故填If/When。 【50题详解】 句意：总给予多于索取，多为他人着想，少为自己着想。根据“than of…”和提示词“you”可知，主语与宾语是同一人称，所以此处需用反身代词yourself表示“你自己”，故填yourself。 【51题详解】 句意：各种各样的活动，比如踢足球，可以帮助你被他人认识。根据“be…to others”和提示词“know”可知，此处考查固定搭配“be known to”，表示“为……所知”，故填known。 【52题详解】 句意：与其把时间浪费在独处上，不如出去和别人一起跳舞唱歌来发展友谊。根据“Instead…wasting time”可知，此处考查固定搭配“instead of”，表示“而不是，代替”故填of。 【53题详解】 句意：一个愉快的微笑花费最少，效果却最大。根据“costs the…and does the most”可知，此处需要填less的最高级“least”，故填least。 【54题详解】 句意：人们会因为你让他们生活得快乐而喜欢你。根据“live…”和提示词“happy”可知，需要填副词修饰动词“live”，happy的副词是happily。故填happily。 【55题详解】 句意：如果你遵循上面提到的，你会被周围的人接受。根据“you will…by people”和提示词“accept”可知，此处指被接受，需用被动语态“be accepted”，will后跟动词原形。故填be accepted。 三、阅读填空 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。 OK, so imagine you’ve thought of a product to make and sell—a game, or an app, or some clothes for example. You know you can sell millions of them, but first of all, you must give the product a name—a brand name. And that may not be as easy as you think. The brand name is the thing that makes your product stand out from all the others. Businesses spend a lot of time thinking about brand names; when the name has been picked, it’s very difficult to change, so companies have to get it right first time. So how do you choose a name? A brand name should be special, memorable and easy to understand. It should create some kind of emotional connection with people who buy the product—the target (目标) market. Some companies use the family name. When Henry Ford started making cars, he just called the company Ford. Some companies use wordplay. It’s a common way for naming apps, for example WhatsApp (from the English expression What’s up? As they pronounce similarly). But what do you have to be careful about? Well, you shouldn’t choose a name that may not work in certain countries or cultures. Many years ago, a car company produced a new car that they called Nova. They thought it suggested something nice and new, but in Spanish it can be read as no va (“it doesn’t go”). Not a good name for a car in Spain! These days, the choice of brand name is quite important if your product is aimed at teenage market. A teacher in an American high school said, “Teenagers won’t buy something that’s almost the same or cheaper—simply because they feel they must wear something with the right logo.” Companies know that the name isn’t everything—the product itself has to be good, of course—it is the most important part of the whole package. Theme Brand Names Importance • Brand name will make your product stand out from all the others. • It’s not ____56____ to change once it is picked. Requirements for a brand name • Special. • ____57____ . • Easy to understand. ____58____ to choose a brand name • Choose from family name. • Use wordplay: e.g. words that share the similar ____59____ . • Pay attention to cultural differences. • For teenagers, a brand name should stay away from copying other brands. Conclusion • The product itself plays the most ____60____ role no matter how perfect the brand name is. 【答案】56. easy 57. Memorable 58. How 59. pronunciation 60. important 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了公司选择品牌名字的过程，最后强调产品名字不是一切，产品本身好才是最重要的。 【56题详解】 根据“when the name has been picked, it’s very difficult to change”可知，品牌名字一旦被选中，就不容易改变。故填easy。 【57题详解】 根据“A brand name should be special, memorable and easy to understand.”可知，一个品牌的名字应该是特别的、容易记住的、容易理解的，此处首字母要大写。故填Memorable。 【58题详解】 根据第三段内容可知，本段主要介绍了如何选择品牌名字，因此用How，此处首字母要大写。故填How。 【59题详解】 根据“Some companies use wordplay. It’s a common way for naming apps, for example WhatsApp (from the English expression What’s up? As they pronounce similarly).”可知，可以使用文字游戏如发音相近的单词来确定品牌名字，此处用pronounce的名词形式。故填pronunciation。 【60题详解】 根据“Companies know that the name isn’t everything—the product itself has to be good, of course—it is the most important part of the whole package.”可知，无论品牌名称多么完美，产品本身起着最重要的作用。故填important。 四、书面表达（满分20分） 61. 时光荏苒，初中的学习已经进入第三年，在这过去的两年中，你一定也发现了自己身上有许多转变吧，请以“My Changes”为题写一篇80词以上的英语短文，紧扣题目，语言表达准确，语句通顺。 要求： ①从外貌和性格描述，至少写两点； ②从学习情况描述，至少写两点； ③从兴趣爱好描述，至少写两点； ④从生活习惯描述，至少写两点。 My Changes I’m in Grade 9 and I have changed a lot. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 例文 My Changes I’m in Grade 9 and I have changed a lot.

The story of the poem dates back to the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1076. Su Shi, a great writer of the Song Dynasty, couldn’t sleep that night. For seven years, he had been separated from his brother. Looking at the moon and thinking of his brother, he wrote the poem. Here are some famous lines. Men have sorrow and joy, they part or meet again; The moon is bright or dim and she may wax (月满) or wane (月缺). There has been nothing perfect since the olden days. So let us wish that man will live long as he can! Though miles apart, we’ll share the beauty she displays. In the first two lines, the writer compares the life of a man to the changing face of the moon. In Chinese culture, a full moon symbolizes perfection and getting together. When the moon is round and fair but people are separated from their loved ones. Before the comparison, Su Shi complains (抱怨) about the “ruthless (无情的)” moon and asks her, “Why when people part, are you often full and bright?” However, he soon realizes that no one has an easy ride, just like the moon may not always be bright. That’s why the poet says “There has been nothing perfect since the olden days”. But should we stand still with things that we can’t make a difference? Su Shi gives his answer: Change your mind and stay positive. So, we have the last line of the poem. The poet hopes people can avoid losing in the sadness of life and instead enjoy the fact that no matter where they are, as long as the ones they love and miss are healthy and happy, they all can admire the same moon and share this beauty. 26. What’s the Chinese title of the poem Prelude to Water Melody? A. 《水调歌头》 B. 《望月怀远》 C. 《十五夜望月》 27. In which background did Su Shi write this poem? A. His country was in a war. B. His family went through a hard time. C. He hadn’t seen his brother for seven years. 28. What did Su Shi compare people’s life to in the poem? A. The rising of the sun. B. The beautiful flowers. C. The changing face of the moon. 29. What can we infer (推断) from the last line of Su Shi’s poem? A. Su Shi was full of thanks. B. Su Shi was full of hope. C. Su Shi was full of worries. 30 What does the poem want to tell us in the end? A. Stay positive about life. B. Be confident in yourself. C. Be brave to face difficulties. D Pillows (枕头) have been around for thousands of years from ancient stone pillows to modern soft pillows. Here is how different pillow cultures developed and the design of pillows improved. Some people say that the first pillows were invented thousands of years ago by the ancient Mesopotamians, and the pillows were made of stone and carved (雕刻) into a cradle shape. They were not designed for comfort. Instead, they were used to lift the sleeper’s head so that insects wouldn’t enter a sleeper’s mouth, nose or ears! Because the stones were expensive, the pillows were only available for rich people. In ancient Egypt, people believed the head was the center of our bodies and it should be cared for and protected. Egyptian pillows were made of ivory, wood or stones. The ancient Chinese had the knowledge of how to create soft pillows, but they preferred hard pillows made of jade (玉), bamboo and so on. And porcelain (瓷器) pillows are among the best preserved (保存) from historical records. The porcelain pillows were first produced in the Sui Dynasty, became more popular during the Tang Dynasty and reached the top in the Song Dynasty. Today, pillows come in different shapes and types. And besides providing comfort for people’s heads and necks, they also play an important role in health care. For example, some pillows are designed to be good for headaches and shoulder pain. 31. What were the first pillows designed for? A. Keeping away large animals. B. Making the house beautiful. C. Lifting the sleeper’s head. 32. Why were the first pillows only for rich people? A. Because few people like stones. B. Because the stones were expensive at that time. C. Because poor people were not allowed to use pillows. 33. What kind of pillow can be preserved best from historical records? A. The porcelain pillow. B. The cotton pillow. C. The bamboo pillow. 34. What do we know from the last paragraph? A. Pillows mean good luck all over the world. B. Pillows were first produced in the Tang Dynasty in China. C. Today many pillows are designed to keep people healthy. 35. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Different kinds of pillows. B. The development and improvement of pillows. C. The uses of pillows 四、口语交际（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面对话，从文后的6个选项中选择5个恰当的选项完成此对话。 A: Hi, Martin. How was your trip to America? B: When I was there, it happened to be Halloween.

Some companies use the family name. When Henry Ford started making cars, he just called the company Ford. Some companies use wordplay. It’s a common way for naming apps, for example WhatsApp (from the English expression What’s up? As they pronounce similarly). But what do you have to be careful about? Well, you shouldn’t choose a name that may not work in certain countries or cultures. Many years ago, a car company produced a new car that they called Nova. They thought it suggested something nice and new, but in Spanish it can be read as no va (“it doesn’t go”). Not a good name for a car in Spain! These days, the choice of brand name is quite important if your product is aimed at teenage market. A teacher in an American high school said, “Teenagers won’t buy something that’s almost the same or cheaper—simply because they feel they must wear something with the right logo.” Companies know that the name isn’t everything—the product itself has to be good, of course—it is the most important part of the whole package.
