As far as we know, good study habits will help you make full use of your time and get your ideal grades. 1 Stay away from the things that stop you from studying. Turn off your computer and your phone when you study. 2 If you turn them off, it’s easier to concentrate on your study. You can read your messages and look up information later. 3 You may have a regular place to study — a quiet room or a corner of the school library. But scientists say it helps you remember better if you study the same thing in two different places. For example, you can read your Chinese textbooks in your classroom and in the school garden. See if you remember what you learned better than if you had read the same thing twice in the classroom. Don’t just learn one skill at a time. Have you ever seen athletes training? They usually do strength, speed and skills training together. 4 The answer is “Yes”. It is better to learn different skills than just one at a time. For example, if you study English, you may want to study vocabulary, grammar and reading all at the same time. Space out (间隔开) your studying. Most of you may have the experience of studying for a long time the night before a test. That may get you a good grade on an exam. 5 Scientists find that spacing out your studying improves your ability to remember things and helps you form long-term memory. You can study for an hour tonight, an hour on the weekend, another hour a week from now. Then you won’t need to stay up all night for a test. Hope these tips are helpful to you and look forward to receiving your good news. A．Does our brain work like that? B．Here is some advice from scientists. C．Study the same thing in different places. D．They probably prevent you from studying. E．Don’t go to the kitchen for something to eat or drink. F．But unluckily, you will soon forget all the things you learned. G．Unluckily, studying with friends may not help improve your study results. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．F 【导语】本文作者主要介绍了四种学习建议教我们如何为考试做好准备。 1．根据文中“As far as we know, good study habits will help you make full use of your time and get your ideal grades.”可知，这里是说好的学习习惯能够帮助考试拿到理想的分数，接下来应该是介绍有哪些建议，选项B “这里有一些来自科学家的建议” 符合语境。故选B。 2．根据文中“Turn off your computer and your phone when you study.”可知，是建议学习的时候把电脑和手机关机，接下来应该是是说这么做的原因，选项D“它们可能阻止你的学习”符合语境。故选D。 3．根据文中“But scientists say it helps you remember better if you study the same thing in two different places.”可知，这一段是在说在不同的地方学习同样的东西可能会更好，选项C “在不同的地方学习同样的东西。”符合语境。故选C。 4．根据文中“The answer is ‘Yes’.”可知，此处应该选择一个一般疑问句，选项A “我们的大脑也是这样工作的吗”符合语境。故选A。 5． 根据文中“Most of you may have the experience of studying for a long time the night before a test. That may get you a good grade on an exam”可知，说的是考试前一晚学习很长时间可能在一次考试中取得好成绩，结合“Scientists find that spacing out your studying improves your ability to remember things and helps you form long-term memory. ”可知，后文说的是间隔学习可以提高你的记忆能力，并帮助你形成长期记忆，与空前的学习方式不一样，所以空处应是介绍那种学习方式不好的方面，选项F“但不幸的是，你可能不久后就忘记了你所学的东西”符合语境。故选F。 Passage 5 （江西省宜春市丰城中学2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末考试英语试题）请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。一空一句。 Have you taken a “gap day” before? 1 Unlike a gap year, a gap day means a very short period of relaxation and getting away from busy work. After resting, people will come back to their normal lives. Apart from gap days, other similar expressions have made a hit on the Internet, like “city walk”, “dazi (activity partner)” and so on. Some people think that these kinds of new words show an active way of living. 2 Now city walk has a new explanation — to discover the city with a curious mind. Instead of “lying flat”, people are actively trying to balance their stress and lives. 3 They think that it’s simply a way of showing off. For example, “city walk” is actually the same as “taking a walk”. But by calling it “city walk”, people feel like they’re doing something more unusual than it actually is. Some people worry that the use of such words may cover the risks behind them, such as safety. For example, as the word dazi becomes more popular, some young people prefer looking for dazi in all areas of their lives, like traveling and playing games. 4 That may bring problems to us. But no matter what we think of these words, they have already become a part of our daily lives. 5 Don’t make them out to be bigger than they actually are. A．However, others don’t agree with it. B．So, what we need to do is have a clear mind. C．They may have forgotten that most dazi are just strangers. D．A good friendship may develop from this dazi relationship. E．The words “gap days” have appeared on the Internet recently. F．For example, the common city walk actually means “taking a walk”. G．The reason why people like creating new phrases lies in the influence of the Internet. 【答案】1．E 2．F 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了社交媒体上新兴的“摆烂日”等新词的热议。 一些人认为这些新词更能满足人们的需求，如“城市漫步”和“搭子”，而另一些人则认为这只是为了炫耀。文章强调我们需要理智看待这些新词。 1．根据上文“Have you taken a ‘gap day’ before?”可知，此处应讲的是“gap day”，选项E“最近，“摆烂日”这个词出现在互联网上。”符合语境，故选E。 2．根据上文“Some people think that these kinds of new words show an active way of living.”及下文“Now city walk has a new explanation — to discover the city with a curious mind.”可知，此处应讲的是“city walk”本来的意思，选项F“例如，常见的城市散步其实就是‘散步’的意思。”符合语境，故选F。 3．根据下文“They think that it’s simply a way of showing off.”可知，此处应讲的是人们的另外一种观点，选项A“然而，其他人不同意。”符合语境，故选A。 4．根据上文“For example, as the word dazi becomes more popular, some young people prefer looking for dazi in all areas of their lives, like traveling and playing games.”及下文“That may bring problems to us.”可知，此处应讲的是“搭子”文化的弊端，选项C“他们可能忘记了大多数搭子只是陌生人。”符合语境，故选C。 5．根据上文“But no matter what we think of these words, they have already become a part of our daily lives.”及下文“Don’t make them out to be bigger than they actually are.”可知，此处应是提醒正视这种现象，选项B“所以，我们需要做的是保持清醒的头脑。”符合语境，故选B。 Passage 6 （江西省萍乡市2024-2025学年九年级上学期1月期末考试英语试题）请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺，结构完整。一空一句。 Chopsticks were first used in China and then introduced to other areas in the world. 1 Here are 3 things to know about them. 2 Long long ago, Chinese ancestors actually also used hands to eat.

During the Pre-Qin period, chopsticks were called “Jia (梜)”, and in the Qin and Han Dynasties, they were called “Zhu (箸)”.

A．When were chopsticks invented? B．How did people use chopsticks? C．Besides, playing with chopsticks is thought to be a bad manner. D．This is the origin of today’s name of Chinese chopsticks. E．They are considered one of the symbols of Chinese food culture. F．Food culture plays an important role in Chinese history.

If you find yourself in the middle of an earthquake, there’s often only a short time to decide what to do. 1 ● Drop to the ground. The drop, cover, and hold on technique is the cousin of the famous “stop, drop and roll” for fires.

Big earthquakes occur without much, if any, warning. 2 A small earthquake could turn into a big earthquake in a split-second; it’s better to be safe than sorry. ● Take cover. Get under a firm table or other piece of furniture. 3 If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch (蜷缩) in an inside corner of the building. ● Hold on. 4 Hold on to whatever surface or platform you’ve gotten under and wait for the shaking to stop. If you were unable to find a surface to hide under, continue to keep your head protected by your arms and tucked (躲藏，隐藏) down low. ● 5 Researchers have shown that most injuries happen when people try to change the place of hiding or when the place is crowded and everyone has a goal to get outside safe. A．Stay inside until it’s safe to get out. B．In that case, move to the nearest safe place. C．Stairs are dangerous places to walk during an earthquake. D．So it’s recommended that you drop to the floor as soon as it hits. E．If possible, stay away from windows and anything that could fall.

You will most likely find a teacher at the front of the class and students sitting at their desks. Yet, look closer, and you might notice a familiar scene: some of these students are not paying attention to the teacher. 1 Today, many middle school students do not get enough sleep. 2 They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to practices and meetings, and come home to be faced with much homework. And the homework load is not light. 3 Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night. 4 When kids get older, the body’s internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11:00 p.m. So even if a student falls asleep at 11:00, they would need to sleep until at least 8:00 a.m. to get a full night’s sleep. Considering the time at which most middle schools in this country begin, those nine hours are clearly being shortened. Few high schools start after 8:00 a.m. However, there are schools that have paid attention to this research. 5 In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class. The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day. A．They are listening carefully in class. B．Being short of sleep is a serious problem. C．Teachers give hours of homework each night. D．Students do little homework each night. E．And they pushed backward the start of their school day. F．Instead, they are falling asleep or even completely asleep. G．Yet the time of this nine hours changes as a child gets older. 【答案】1．F 2．B 3．C 4．G 5．E 【导语】本文主要讲述了现在高中生课业负担重，家庭作业多而导致学生睡眠不足，上课犯困，精力不集中的现象。 1．根据“Yet, look closer, and you might notice a familiar scene: some of these students are not paying attention to the teacher.”可知，空处应是介绍学生们在做什么，不是在认真听讲，F项“相反，他们睡着了，甚至完全睡着了。”符合语境，故选F。 2．根据“Today, many middle school students do not get enough sleep”可知，这里介绍的是睡眠不足的问题，B项“睡眠不足是一个严重的问题。”符合语境，故选B。 3．根据“And the homework load is not light”可知，说的是家庭作业，C项“老师每晚布置几个小时的家庭作业”符合语境，故选C。 4．根据“Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night.”可知，介绍的是孩子们需要的睡眠时间，G项“然而，随着孩子年龄的增长，这9个小时的时间会发生变化。”符合语境，故选G。 5．根据“However, there are schools that have paid attention to this research”和“In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, ”可知，空处应是说学校对上学时间的调整，E项“他们推迟了上学的时间。”符合语境，故选E。 Passage 4 （江西省九江市都昌县2023-2024学年九年级上学期期末英语试题（含听力））请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中，选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整，并在答题卷上将其序号、涂黑。 Quilts keep people warm. 1 Quilts have a long history in different places.

As far as we know, good study habits will help you make full use of your time and get your ideal grades. 1 Stay away from the things that stop you from studying. Turn off your computer and your phone when you study. 2 If you turn them off, it’s easier to concentrate on your study. You can read your messages and look up information later. 3 You may have a regular place to study — a quiet room or a corner of the school library. But scientists say it helps you remember better if you study the same thing in two different places. For example, you can read your Chinese textbooks in your classroom and in the school garden. See if you remember what you learned better than if you had read the same thing twice in the classroom. Don’t just learn one skill at a time. Have you ever seen athletes training? They usually do strength, speed and skills training together. 4 The answer is “Yes”. It is better to learn different skills than just one at a time. For example, if you study English, you may want to study vocabulary, grammar and reading all at the same time. Space out (间隔开) your studying. Most of you may have the experience of studying for a long time the night before a test. That may get you a good grade on an exam. 5 Scientists find that spacing out your studying improves your ability to remember things and helps you form long-term memory. You can study for an hour tonight, an hour on the weekend, another hour a week from now. Then you won’t need to stay up all night for a test. Hope these tips are helpful to you and look forward to receiving your good news. A．Does our brain work like that? B．Here is some advice from scientists. C．Study the same thing in different places. D．They probably prevent you from studying. E．Don’t go to the kitchen for something to eat or drink. F．But unluckily, you will soon forget all the things you learned. G．Unluckily, studying with friends may not help improve your study results.

After resting, people will come back to their normal lives. Apart from gap days, other similar expressions have made a hit on the Internet, like “city walk”, “dazi (activity partner)” and so on. Some people think that these kinds of new words show an active way of living. 2 Now city walk has a new explanation — to discover the city with a curious mind. Instead of “lying flat”, people are actively trying to balance their stress and lives. 3 They think that it’s simply a way of showing off. For example, “city walk” is actually the same as “taking a walk”. But by calling it “city walk”, people feel like they’re doing something more unusual than it actually is. Some people worry that the use of such words may cover the risks behind them, such as safety. For example, as the word dazi becomes more popular, some young people prefer looking for dazi in all areas of their lives, like traveling and playing games. 4 That may bring problems to us. But no matter what we think of these words, they have already become a part of our daily lives. 5 Don’t make them out to be bigger than they actually are. A．However, others don’t agree with it. B．So, what we need to do is have a clear mind. C．They may have forgotten that most dazi are just strangers. D．A good friendship may develop from this dazi relationship. E．The words “gap days” have appeared on the Internet recently. F．For example, the common city walk actually means “taking a walk”. G．The reason why people like creating new phrases lies in the influence of the Internet.

If you find yourself in the middle of an earthquake, there’s often only a short time to decide what to do. 1 ● Drop to the ground. The drop, cover, and hold on technique is the cousin of the famous “stop, drop and roll” for fires. While it’s not the only method of protecting yourself indoors during an earthquake, it is the preferred method of the Red Cross. Big earthquakes occur without much, if any, warning. 2 A small earthquake could turn into a big earthquake in a split-second; it’s better to be safe than sorry. ● Take cover. Get under a firm table or other piece of furniture. 3 If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch (蜷缩) in an inside corner of the building. ● Hold on. 4 Hold on to whatever surface or platform you’ve gotten under and wait for the shaking to stop. If you were unable to find a surface to hide under, continue to keep your head protected by your arms and tucked (躲藏，隐藏) down low. ● 5 Researchers have shown that most injuries happen when people try to change the place of hiding or when the place is crowded and everyone has a goal to get outside safe. A．Stay inside until it’s safe to get out. B．In that case, move to the nearest safe place. C．Stairs are dangerous places to walk during an earthquake. D．So it’s recommended that you drop to the floor as soon as it hits. E．If possible, stay away from windows and anything that could fall. F．The ground may be shaking and pieces of wood or brick could be falling. G．Studying the following advice could be the difference between life and death.
