Dieppe in April B. Dieppe in September C. Weifang in April D. Washington in August B I saved the grain (谷物) carefully and finally had enough to plant. I built a wall around my garden to keep the wild goats away. Then when my crop bore its fruit, the birds discovered it. The birds were not afraid of my dog at all. I shot then but as soon as I walked away, they returned. At last, I killed some birds and hung them among the crop hoping they would serve as the scarecrows, which turned out to be successful. By harvest time, I had nearly two bushels of rice and two and a half bushels of wheat. With my new grain to store (储存), I found a new problem. The fine grain ran through my baskets. It took me nearly two months to form and dry two ugly pots (锅) one for rice and one for wheat. Next I made a clay oven and some other tools from hard wood and cloth to bake (烘烤) bread I made and baked bread in my oven. I spent the third year on the island in farming and baking. Soon after that. I began to think of my days sailing in a tidy boat with Xury. I wished to have a boat and explore (探索) the island by sea. I tried to turn over the ship’s boat that I had seen washed up, but failed. I still made a decision to have a boat. So I chose a strong tree and spent weeks cutting it down. Then it took me months to turn it from tree to boat. When it was time to launch, I realized I had made my boat too far from the nearest stream. The boat was far too heavy for me to move. I tried bringing the water to the boat instead of the boat to the water. I soon saw it would take me twenty years to continue working. I celebrated my fourth year on the island with two boats, but I was no closer to a sea journey. 49. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. how much rice and wheat I harvested. B. how many tools I made to bake bread. C. how I protected my crop from the birds. D. how I kept the wild goats away from my crop. 50. What does the underlined phrase “a new problem” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. how to have lunch B. how to store grain C. how to make a boat D. how to fix the boat 51. By the last sentence “I was no closer to a sea journey”, the writer means ________. A. I was getting closer and closer to the sea B. I was getting farther and farther from the sea C. it was possible for me to have a sea journey in my boats D. it was still impossible for me to explore the island by sea 52. What can we infer from the passage? A. I managed to turn over the ships boat. B. I spent months bringing the boat to the nearest stream. C. I spent the third year on the island in farming and baking. D. I tried to solve the problems with my courage and wisdom. C “They have started to fight!” I cried. Ben Gunn and I ran towards the ship. As we ran we heard some pistol (手枪) shots. Then in front of me I saw a Union Jack (米字旗) flying in the air above the trees. The flag was flying from a wooden fort (堡垒) that stood on a hill looking over the beach. Ben Gunn stopped. “Your friends are there,” he said.“Join them. When you want me, come to where you found me. Come alone, and carry something white so that I will know it’s you.” Just then there was aloud bang (巨响) . A cannon ball (炮弹) came flying through the air, and we both ran off in opposite directions. The shots continued for another hour. I moved quietly through the trees. The pirates’ flag, the Jolly Roger, was flying on the Hispaniola. Down on the beach below the fort, the pirates were breaking up the rowing boat. Further down the beach there was a large fire. One of the pirates’ boats was coming and going between the beach and the ship. I also noticed some white rocks and l knew that was where Ben Gunn’s boat was. I then ran to the fort where l found my friends. We sat and told each other our stories. The doctor told his story first,“Six of the original crew (原来的船员) were still on the ship. They were all together at the front of the ship. When we heard that you, Jim, were ashore with the mutineers (叛变者). Hunter and I decided to go ashore (在岸上) , too. We took another small boat and landed at a different part of the beach to the mutineers. Hunter stayed to guard the boat and I went into the woods. After about one hundred metres, I found this fort. As you can see, it has a strong fence (栅栏) and it is in a good position. There is a stream running through it and it even has a small wooden house in the middle with holes in the walls for guns to shoot through. It is a perfect place to defend ourselves against attackers (攻击者) .” 53. What does the underlined word “defend” in the last paragraph mean? A. Enjoy. B. Study. C. Hide. D. Protect. 54. What can we learn from the passage? A. The shots continued for only one hour. B. “My” friends kept a Union Jack flying from the fort. C. The wooden fort stood under a hill looking over the beach. D. Ben Gunn told “me” to find him where he said goodbye to “me”. 55. Which of the following things is the correct order? a. “I” noticed some white rocks. b. Ben and “I” ran off in opposite directions. c. The doctor and the hunter decided to go ashore. d. “I” saw a Union Jack flying in the air above the trees. A. d-a-b-c B. d-b-a-c C. c-d-b-a D. c-d-a-b 56. What do you think of the doctor from the passage? A. Brave. B. Nervous. C. Selfish. D. Impatient. D Imagine you are in a boat far out at sea. Suddenly, you hear a loud, deep, and beautiful song. Just as you are starting to enjoy it, the song ends. Then, it starts again. Who is out there making such music? It sounds like the music that people make. But in fact, this music is made by some species of whales. According to scientists, some whales express their feelings of loneliness through these songs. They may even sing the songs to show their sadness over the loss of a loved one. Each of these whale songs can last from a few minutes to half an hour, and it is then repeated. The singing can go on for hours, or even days. It is very loud, and can be heard over great distances. What is more amazing is that whales from the same social group sing the same song at the same time even when they are very far apart (相隔). On the other hand, whales that belong to different social groups sing different songs even when they are together. The music may change over time, but whales belonging to the same group always sing the same songs. Research shows that this helps the whales to communicate important information to one another within the group. Although scientists have been studying whale songs for a long time, they continue to wonder why whales sing. They also haven’t found out the different meanings of these songs. But maybe this is not a bad thing, for the beauty of nature often lies in its mystery. And the mystery could be part of the reason why the song sounds so beautiful to the human ear. 57. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To express the main idea. B. To draw the readers’ interest. C. To provide the background. D. To tell the readers about a story. 58. What can we know from the passage? A. Whales express their all feelings through singing. B. Whales in the same sea area sing the same songs. C. Whales in the same group can communicate well. D. Whales sing so loud that they influence each other. 59. What does the underlined word “this” mean in the last paragraph ? A. Scientists have studied whale songs for a long time. B. Scientists have divided the whales into different groups. C. Scientists haven’t completely known what whale songs mean. D. Scientists haven’t clearly known how long whale songs can last. 60. What may be the best title of the passage? A. The recent research on whale songs B. The meanings of whale songs C. The communication among whales D. Scientists and different whales 第二节：阅读下面短文，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。（共5题；每题2分，共10分） How to Stay Awake During School If you’ve ever stayed up or had a bad night of sleep, you know it’s difficult to stay awake in class when you’re tired.

This is important for hybrid breeding (杂交育种). Hybrid breeding helps plants grow stronger and produce more food. Yuan Longping created hybrid rice that has fed many Chinese people. According to Cell Press, the process usually means taking away the stamens (雄蕊) of the female plant (雌株) and then putting pollen (花粉) from the male plant onto the female plant. This helps the new plants get the best qualities from both parents. For example, if you mix a male plant that doesn’t get sick easily with a female plant that makes a lot of fruit, you can get a new plant that has both of these great qualities. However, hybrid breeding needs workers to do cross-pollination (异花授粉) again and again in a short time. This work takes a lot of time and energy. GEAIR solves the problem. It uses AI visual recognition and positioning (视觉识别和定位) technology to move among crops. After finding flowers, it uses robotic arms to do cross-pollination and finish the whole process. Building the robot was difficult because leaves get in the way, and flowers are very small. Traditional computer cannot easily find them in real time. To fix this, the research team trained a new model with 12,800 pictures of flowers. With this model, GEAIR can pollinate each flower in 15 seconds at a cost much lower than a worker’s yearly pay. 86. What is the name of the robot that can finish the whole plant breeding process? 87. What is one advantage of hybrid breeding? 88. What technology does GEAIR use to move among crops? 89. Why was building GEAIR difficult? (Give one reason.) 90. How long does it take for GEAIR to pollinate each flower? 八、书面表达（共25分） 91. 作为一名九年级学生，你的生活可能充满了课业和考试。然而，一个充实而丰富多彩的生活对于保持积极心态和开阔眼界至关重要。现在，请以“How to Enrich (丰富) My Life”为题，探讨如何通过“色彩”“艺术世界”和“电视节目” 这三个方面为你的生活增添乐趣与意义。请你根据下面提示，用英语写一篇短文，谈谈你对此事的看法。 要求：(1)词数90左右，文章开头已给出，不计入总词数； (2)短文应包括所给内容要点，可适当发挥，使文章连贯； How to enrich my life As a Grade 9 student, I believe a colourful life is a happy life.

They make me feel energetic and cheer me up, especially on busy school days. Second, the art world is another good choice. There are lots of different types of music. I like listening to classical music best because it has more lasting value. Finally, I think choosing TV programs wisely is also a good to enjoy life. Instead of watching short videos on the phone, I prefer documentaries about nature and science. I can learn a lot about nature,history and real-life events from them. They are like windows, opening up the amazing world for me. In these simple ways, I hope my life can become more meaningful, colourful, and enjoyable. 九年级英语试题 第4页 （共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
