In fact, it is not true. Communication is a big problem for parents and children of all ages. Here is some advice on bridging the generation gap (代沟). ①________   Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Please leave and stay somewhere else to be quiet and try to make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, writing a letter may be a good way to help you. ②________ Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. For example, Michael wanted to buy a computer, but his mother didn’t agree with him. They argued over it. Finally, they came to an agreement. Michael bought the computer, but he could only play it on certain days. ③________ Of course, your parents might refuse to agree with something. In these situations, it is especially important to show your love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values (价值观). Because of the generation gap, the values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. Communication is an art! It is worth having a try! 1．Who have a communication problem according to the passage? A．Parents and other people. B．School kids and their parents. C．Teachers and their students. D．Parents and children of all ages. 2．What did Michael want to buy? A．A basketball. B．A bike. C．A computer. D．A radio. 3．Match the title with each part. a. Show your love and respect to your parents. b. Don’t argue with your parents. c. Try to reach an agreement. A．①-a, ②-b, ③-c B．①-b, ②-c, ③-a C．①-b, ②-a, ③-c D．①-c, ②-a, ③-b 4．What would be the best structure of the passage? A．B．C． D． 5．What does the passage mainly want to tell us? A．Some advice on having a conversation. B．Some ways to bridge the generation gap. C．Some ways to reach an agreement with others. D．Some advice on making our parents happy. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文就如何弥合父母与孩子之间的代沟提出了一些建议。 1．细节理解题。根据“Communication is a big problem for parents and children of all ages.”可知，对于所有年龄段的父母和孩子来说，沟通都是一个大问题。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Michael wanted to buy a computer”可知，迈克尔想买一台电脑。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“Don’t get to your parents when you are angry.

It has a history of over 1,000 years in China. In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. Later oil paper umbrellas spread to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos. However, as steel-ribbed (钢骨的) umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. As a result, they were turned into decorative artifacts (装饰性工艺品). Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo, a coating of Tung oil (桐油). They need to take more than 70 steps. It takes at least a week to make an umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录) of China. A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. In 2017, Liu opened an online shop to sell oil paper umbrellas. Now Liu’s shop has more than 80,000 followers. He hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to show more people about the art. 1．When was the oil umbrella spread to Japan and Korea? A．In the Han Dynasty. B．In early Tang Dynasty.

D．His grandfather. 4．Why did Liu Weixue learn the art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas? A．To find a better job. B．To open an online shop. C．To bring the art to life.

It’s one of the oldest and most basic forms of communication. Smiles and laughs mean the same thing in all cultures. They express joy. They are signs of peace and happiness. A smile or laugh can be contagious (有感染力的). When people around us smile or laugh, we usually do the same. And scientists believe that millions of years ago before languages started to develop, smiles helped humans form relationships. Nowadays, it also can help us in our stressful life. Studies show that people live longer when they spend more time with groups of happy friends. _________ Studies have shown that laughs and smiles can both cause the brain to send “happy” chemicals into the body. These chemicals reduce stress and help strengthen the body’s systems. Laughing is also good for our hearts. Because of these health effects, laughter therapy (疗法) has become more and more popular. The idea of “clown (小丑) care” started in New York. A doctor named Patch Adams started to dress as a clown and make sick children laugh. Patients in a hospital are usually worried and bored, but hospital clowns can help them be happier and get better faster. So, the more we smile, the happier and healthier we may be. Smiles and laughs are free, so we should be more generous (大方的) with them. 1．From Paragraph 1, we know smiles and laughs________.

C．How can we make others laugh? D．Why is laughing good for health? 4．Why is the idea of “clown care” mentioned? A．To tell readers to make patients happy. B．To introduce activities in the hospital. C．To show the practical use of laughter therapy. D．To ask doctors to give care to patients. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Laugh or smile often in life. B．Be kind to people around you.

Now a new study has found that teaching bike-riding skills to middle school students during physical education classes might help improve their mental health. The study was made because of the fact that students are starting to experience all kinds of pressure from school and home. Generally, the key period of encouraging children to enjoy the benefits of bike riding is in the middle school. So, Sean Wilson and his team decided to test whether taking part in a cycling instruction program could result in measurable changes in health and happiness for young people. They invited more than 1, 200 students from middle schools across the country and they were offered a program called Riding for Focus, provided by the nonprofit organization Outride. The invited students were asked to take part in cycling classes for at least three days a week for 6-8 weeks. They learned about cycling safety and skills while having fun and increasing their heart rate through outdoor activities. The researchers gave questionnaires (问卷) to the invited students at the beginning and end of the program to measure their well-being. “From the results of the surveys, we know that physical activities like cycling can benefit not only the body but also the mind and social relationships,” says Esther Walker. The study is encouraging, but it’s not a cure-all. “It’s important to realize that other factors (因素) also play a role in healthy living. For example, students who didn’t limit their screen time to at most two hours a day or who got less than eight and a half hours of sleep saw less improvement in their well-being,” says Sean Wilson. 1．Why did the researchers do the study? A．To give students cycling safety tips. B．To measure students’ health condition. C．To develop students’ interest in cycling. D．To test riding’s effects on kids’ mental health. 2．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The researchers.B．The invited students.C．The cycling classes. D．The middle schools. 3．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．What the research found out. B．How dependable the research was. C．How the new research was carried out. D．Why the new research was carried out. 4．What can we learn about the invited students in the study? A．They hoped to improve their cycling skills. B．They took cycling classes as many as possible. C．They took part in both outdoor and indoor activities. D．They completed questionnaires before and after the program. 5．What does Wilson think of the study? A．It should include more young students. B．It needs to be improved in a new situation. C．It is helpful but can not solve any problem. D．It was a failure but worth being studied more. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是说明文。文章详细地介绍了一项关于骑行对中学生心理健康影响的研究，包括研究的背景、对象、方法、过程和结果等。 1．细节理解题。根据文章中第二段“Sean Wilson and his team decided to test whether taking part in a cycling instruction program could result in measurable changes in health and happiness for young people.”可知，这项研究是为了测试骑自行车对孩子心理健康的影响。故选D。 2． 词句猜测题。根据上文“They invited more than 1, 200 students from middle schools across the country and they were offered a program”以及下文“The invited students were asked to take part in cycling classes for at least three days a week for 6-8 weeks.”可知，“they”指代的是“被邀请的学生”。故选B。 3．主旨大意题。根据“They invited more than 1, 200 students...The invited students were asked to take part in cycling classes for at least three days a week for 6-8 weeks...The researchers gave questionnaires (问卷) to the invited students”可知，本段主要介绍了研究是如何进行的。故选C。 4． 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers gave questionnaires to the invited students at the beginning and end of the program to measure their well-being.”可知，受邀的学生在项目开始和结束时完成了问卷调查。故选D。 5．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The study is encouraging, but it’s not a cure-all”和“other factors (因素) also play a role in healthy living.”可知，Wilson认为这项研究令人鼓舞，但并不是万能的，它需要在新的情况下进行改进。故选B。 Passage 5 （江西省赣州市寻乌县2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末考试英语试题）Exploring (探索) your hometown can be a really nice adventure.

AI image-making tools such as Mid-journey and DALL-E 2 can now make amazing digital (数码的) paintings. How do they work? For DALL-E 2, the AI is fed huge collections of artworks. The program finds patterns (模式) in the pictures and, after a while, learns which features (特征) are important, such as people, animals, objects, styles, or colors. Then it can produce images that keep the key features and produce a good result. The app produces a lot of images at the same time but chooses the most accurate (准确的) ones for the user to choose from. These days, anyone can go online or download an app to produce their own AI art. Just give the program a few key words and choose a style, and it will create a digital painting in the style you want. This means that anyone can now create art, even if they don’t know how to paint. Not everyone is happy about the growth of AI-generated (生成的) art. To some, it isn’t art at all because AI depends on learning from only the information it is given. The AI isn’t creating on its own. However, others think that AI is the same as humans and it is no different from any other artist. Some people also say that AI art has no value because it is too easy. It isn’t created step-by-step by a human. Yet the same is true of photography. Just as artists of an earlier age welcomed photography, some artists today are using AI to create unique works of art. These artists find that they have to work together with the AI in exploring and experimenting—it isn’t simple at all! At the heart of this debate (辩论) is an important question: Will AI replace human artists, or will humans learn to use AI as a tool to create great art? Only time will tell. 1．People can use Midjourney and DALL-E 2 to ________. A．collect artworks B．create paintings C．produce image-making tool D．take digital pictures of famous paintings 2．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．A style. B．AI art. C．The program. D．A key word. 3．Why are some people against AI-generated art? A．Because it is created step-by-step by humans. B．Because it can help people create unique artworks. C．Because it’s too difficult to operate the technology. D．Because it depends on learning from information instead of creating on its own. 4．From this passage we can know the writer is ________ about the future of using AI to create art. A．uncertain B．sure C．worried D．excited 5．Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A．AI Art: A New Trend in the Art World B．The Disadvantages of AI in Art Creation C．How to Make AI Art D．The Relationship between AI and Human Artists 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．A 【导语】本文主要说明了在艺术领域，人们对人工智能的看法。 1．细节理解题。根据“AI image-making tools such as Mid-journey and DALL-E 2 can now make amazing digital paintings.”可知，人们可以用人工智能绘画工具画画。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Just give the program a few key words and choose a style, and it will create a digital painting in the style you want.”可知，只需给程序几个关键词并选择一种风格，它就会以你想要的风格创建一幅数字绘画，所以此处的it指代的是program。故选C。 3．细节理解题。“Not everyone is happy about the growth of AI-generated (生成的) art. To some, it isn't art at all because AI depends on learning from only the information it is given. The AI isn't creating on its own.”，可知一些人反对 AI 生成艺术是因为它依赖于所给信息学习，而不是自主创作，故选D。 4．观点态度题。根据“Will AI replace human artists, or will humans learn to use AI as a tool to create great art? Only time will tell.”可知，人工智能将取代人类艺术家，还是人类将学会使用人工智能作为工具来创造伟大的艺术，这个问题的答案作者不确定。故选A。 5．最佳标题题。文章主要介绍了人工智能在艺术领域的发展，包括 AI 图像制作工具的工作原理、人们对 AI 生成艺术的不同看法以及关于 AI 是否会取代人类艺术家的辩论，选项 A“AI 艺术：艺术世界的新趋势” 能很好地概括文章主旨。故选A。 Passage 7 （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）Plenty More Fish When you think of the sea, you may not think of Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia (内蒙古). But recently the “seafood” produced in these places has become popular, especially after Japan put nuclear-contaminated water (核污染水) into the sea, reported China Daily. In Nilka county (尼勒克县) in Xinjiang, about 6,000 tons of rainbow trout (虹鳟鱼) will be produced this year. Rainbow trout belongs to the same family as salmon (鲑鱼) — a kind of well-known seafood. It tastes like salmon too. Why do farmers there choose to grow fish? The weather in some parts of Xinjiang is seldom hot, and the rivers are fed by meltwater (融水) from the Tianshan Mountains. Water deeper than 6 meters always stays at 10°C． As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it’s a “comfortable” home for fish, Li Chunyu, a worker at a fish company in Xinjiang, told China Daily. To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water. They also use net cages (网箱) that are good for the environment. The nets are about 51 meters wide and lie 25 meters deep in the river. Meanwhile, in Inner Mongolia, whiteleg shrimps (南美白对虾) grow well. Saline soil (盐碱土) covers a large part of the desert where few plants are able to grow. Farmers used to put water from the Yellow River onto the farmland to wash away the salt. This was a waste of salty water.    Scientists then decided to create “seawater” with the salty water by adding in some other components. Whiteleg shrimps can live well in this kind of water. They taste no different from the same kind of shrimp that grows in the sea. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling stories.B．By listing numbers.C．By giving examples. D．By raising questions. 2．What do we know about rainbow trout? A．It can only live in the sea. B．It’s mainly produced in Japan. C．Its family is the same as salmon’s. D．It’s a kind of well-known seafood. 3．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．The farmers in Nilka. B．The weather in Xinjiang. C．The meltwater from the Tianshan Mountains. D．The reason why farmers in Nilka grow fish. 4．What does the underlined word “components” mean in Paragraph 5? A．things. B．changes. C．experiments. D．instructions. 5．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤⑥ B．①/②③④⑤/⑥ C．①/②③④⑤⑥ D．①②③④⑤/⑥ 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了因日本排放核污染水而更受欢迎的新疆和内蒙古各自养殖的“海鲜”产品。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When you think of the sea, you may not think of Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia (内蒙古). But recently the ‘seafood’ produced in these places has become popular...”可知作者以新疆和内蒙古为例介绍“内陆海鲜”。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Rainbow trout belongs to the same family as salmon (鲑鱼) — a kind of well-known seafood.”可知，虹鳟鱼和著名海鲜鲑鱼同属一科，故选C。 3．主旨大意题。第三段第一句“Why do farmers there choose to grow fish?”为该段主旨句，再结合其后所述可知，这段主要介绍尼勒克县农民养殖虹鳟鱼的原因。故选D。 4．词句猜测题。根据划线词“components”的前文“Scientists then decided to create ‘seawater’ with the salty water by adding in some other”可知科学家要在盐水的基础上加入其他成分或东西以制造“海水”。选项A意为“东西”与划线单词意思接近，故选A。 5．篇章结构题。本文第①段引出话题，第②、③、④段介绍新疆的虹鳟鱼，第⑤、⑥段介绍内蒙古的南美白对虾，因此整个语篇分为以上三个部分。故选A。 Passage 8 （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）What’s Anti-Bullying Day (反霸凌日)? Anti-Bullying Day is a special day when people talk about bullying and what we can do to stop it. A lot of children take part in activities at school and online, to learn about what bullying means and what we can do if we see it happening. When is Anti-Bullying Day? The date of Anti-Bullying Day is different in different countries. In many places, it’s on 4 May (United Nations Anti-Bullying Day). In the UK, Anti-Bullying Week takes place every November. Every day of the year, it’s important to stand up against bullying. What exactly is bullying? Often bullying happens when one person has more power than the other person—perhaps they’re bigger or older, or they have more friends. When someone uses their power to hurt another person on purpose, especially more than once, that’s bullying. Bullying can be with words (saying mean things) or it can be physical (hitting, pushing or taking someone’s things). Leaving someone out of a group or ignoring (忽视) them again and again is also bullying. How can we stand up against bullying? If someone is bullying you, you could ignore them, tell them to stop or walk away. Pretend that you don’t care and try to look confident, even if you don’t feel it. Tell a friend or a classmate what’s happening and ask them to help you; or talk to your parents, a teacher or another adult you trust. If you see someone else being bullied, never join in with the bullying or laugh at it. That will make it worse. Instead, be an “upstander”—help and support the person who is being bullied. Tell a trusted adult about the bullying. If we all stand up against bullying, we can make it stop. 1．What is the main purpose of Anti-Bullying Day? A．To remind children to be kind. B．To organize special activities at school. C．To discuss bullying and the prevention measures. D．To encourage children to take part in activities online. 2．In the UK, when is Anti-Bullying Week held? A．In November. B．On May 4. C．Each week. D．Every day. 3．Which of the following is a form of bullying? A．Invite someone to join a group. B．Say unkind words to others once.

We seem to do this more when we are thinking of a few things at once or doing two things at the same time. For example, you’re crossing the street while chatting with a friend, or walking across a room while answering a phone. Some people call this dual-tasking. Everyone does it and we tend to get better at it as we get older and learn new skills. Our brain is a truly amazing computer—more powerful than any real computer, but it can only use so much energy at one time. Think of your brain as a power station, providing electricity for a number of cities, some cities need a lot of energy by having all their lights on, other cities would have less power to work with. There’s only so much electricity to go around. For young kids, dual-tasking is possible. However some studies suggest that it can be a little more difficult for younger kids compared with older kids. Why? The power station in their brain is a little smaller and can’t produce quite the same amount of energy as older kids. So why do you sometimes forget to say something before you say it? The answer is that you are likely to have been dual-tasking just before speaking. It might be because you were thinking about the words you wanted to say and something else at the same time, Sometimes your brain just can’t do two complicated (复杂的) things at once. You may not have enough energy at that moment. Forgetting things is normal for everyone and can happen when you are doing too many things, When it happens to you, don’t be nervous! 1．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By listing numbers. B．By asking a question. C．By showing a saying. D．By comparing the facts. 2．What does the underlined word “dual-tasking” probably mean in the passage? A．Doing two jobs at the same time. B．Being relaxed and easy. C．Focusing on one main thing. D．Doing something without planning. 3．According to the writer, our brain is like a ______. A．light B．book C．train D．computer 4．Why is dual-tasking more difficult for younger kids compared to older kids? A．Younger kids are less focused. B．The power station in their brain is smaller. C．They have not learned enough skills. D．Their brains develop more slowly. 5．What is the main idea of this passage? A．To explain how the brain functions like a power station. B．To discuss the differences in dual-tasking ability between young and old kids. C．To give the reasons for forgetting things and the concept of dual-tasking. D．To show the importance of avoiding dual-tasking to prevent forgetting. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了人们有时会忘记事情的现象，引出“dual-tasking”的概念，解释了大脑如同发电站，能量有限，同时说明了小孩较难同时做两件事是因为大脑中的“发电站”较小，最后提到忘记事情是正常的，不必紧张。 1．细节理解题。根据“Have you ever walked into a room and realized you couldn’t remember what you were looking for?”可知，文章通过提出一个问题引出话题，故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据文中“For example, you’re crossing the street while chatting with a friend, or walking across a room while answering a phone.”可知，马路时聊天、边走边接电话，推测出“dual-tasking”指的是同时做两件事，故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Our brain is a truly amazing computer”可知，我们的大脑像是计算机，故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“The power station in their brain is a little smaller and can’t produce quite the same amount of energy as older kids.”可知，小孩较难同时做两件事是因为大脑中的“发电站”较小，故选B。 5．主旨大意题。文章主要解释了人们会忘记事情的原因以及“dual-tasking”的概念，选项C“给出忘记事情的原因和双重任务的概念” 符合。故选C。 Passage 3 （江西省赣州市寻乌县2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末考试英语试题）Chinese Zhusuan is one of the scientific achievements in ancient China. The abacus (算盘) is easy to use as a tool for calculation (计算). This invention shows the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people. About 2,000 years ago in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Hong mentioned the idea of “Zhusuan”. However, the idea dated back to a time earlier than this. According to research, the early Zhusuan was developed from rod-arithmetic. The method of rod-arithmetic is nearly the same as that of Zhusuan. It needs large space, and the way of placing rods (棒) is neither simple to explain nor easy to understand. In the Han Dynasty, thanks to the Silk Road, the business in ancient China developed rapidly. As a result, a lot of calculation methods also developed. At that point, Zhusuan, which was more convenient than rod-arithmetic, started to be used. The early abacus was different from what we use today. In the Tang Dynasty, abacuses similar to the ones we use today appeared. In the Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, the abacus reached its full development. Its use was introduced to all walks of life. In the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Dawei produced a math book called General Source of Computational Methods (《算法统宗》). This book further sped up the development of the abacus. It was also spread to Japan and Southeast Asia, and it played an important role in influencing the local development of math. Nowadays, Chinese Zhusuan has become an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) and we believe the story about this amazing calculation tool will continue. 1．What do we know about rod-arithmetic according to the passage? A．It takes up little space. B．It can be easily understood. C．Its method is similar to that of Zhusuan. D．It was fully developed in the Han Dynasty. 2．Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “________” in Paragraph 2. A．Then the modern rod-arithmetic was invented. B．But rod-arithmetic took a long time to be put into use. C．Finally, the rod-arithmetic enjoyed great popularity then. D．However, the improvement of rod-arithmetic was difficult. 3．Put the events in the correct order. ①Cheng Dawei completed his book on math. ②Rod-arithmetic appeared as a calculation method. ③Liu Hong mentioned the idea of “Zhusuan”. ④The abacus, which was similar to the recent abacus, appeared. A．②③④① B．②③①④ C．③④①② D．③④②① 4．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Areas that the abacus was introduced to. B．A businessman who was crazy about calculation. C．A book which influenced the development of math. D．A method that sped up the development of the abacus. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．A short history of Chinese Zhusuan. B．How rod-arithmetic influenced math. C．How Chinese Zhusuan changed the world. D．The scientific achievements in ancient China. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国古代的科学成就之一——珠算。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“According to research, the early Zhusuan was developed from rod-arithmetic. The method of rod-arithmetic is nearly the same as that of Zhusuan.”可知，筹算的方法和珠算的方法几乎相同。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据上文“The method of rod-arithmetic is nearly the same as that of Zhusuan.”和下文“It needs large space, and the way of placing rods is neither simple to explain nor easy to understand.”可知，筹算和珠算方法几乎一样，但是筹算需要很大空间，并且放置算筹的方式既不容易解释也不容易理解，这是在说明筹算的缺点，所以此处应该是一个表示转折且与筹算的改进困难有关的句子；选项D“然而，筹算的改进是困难的。”符合语境。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第二段“About 2,000 years ago in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Hong mentioned the idea of ‘Zhusuan’. However, the idea dated back to a time earlier than this. According to research, the early Zhusuan was developed from rod-arithmetic.”可知，筹算的起源较早(②)，然后大约2000年前东汉时期刘洪提到“珠算”的概念(③)；根据第三段“In the Tang Dynasty, abacuses similar to the ones we use today appeared.”可知，在唐代出现了和现在相似的算盘(④)；根据第四段“In the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Dawei produced a math book called General Source of Computational Methods.”可知，在明代程大位完成了数学著作《算法统宗》(①)，所以顺序是②③④①。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。综合本段内容可知，本段主要介绍了明代程大位的《算法统宗》这本书，它推动了算盘的发展，还传播到日本和东南亚，对当地数学发展产生重要影响，重点在于强调这本书对数学发展的影响。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了中国珠算的起源、在不同朝代的发展历程以及相关著作推动其发展，最后还提到其成为非物质文化遗产，因此本文主要是在讲述中国珠算的简史。故选A。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 阅读理解（说明文） 题号 难度 知识点 1 0.94 家庭关系；说明文；意见/建议 2 0.85 说明文；中华文化；传统工艺 3 0.85 科普知识；说明文 4 0.85 健康与运动；青少年问题；说明文 5 0.85 方法/策略；城市；说明文 6 0.85 科学技术；说明文 7 0.85 种植与养殖；科学技术；说明文 8 0.85 青少年问题；方法/策略；说明文 9 0.85 中华文化；说明文 10 0.65 音乐与舞蹈；说明文；中华文化 11 0.4 科普知识；说明文 12 0.4 发明与创造；科普知识；说明文；中华文化 Passage 1 （江西省宜春市丰城市第九中学2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末考试英语试题）Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. In fact, it is not true. Communication is a big problem for parents and children of all ages. Here is some advice on bridging the generation gap (代沟). ①________   Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Please leave and stay somewhere else to be quiet and try to make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, writing a letter may be a good way to help you. ②________ Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. For example, Michael wanted to buy a computer, but his mother didn’t agree with him. They argued over it. Finally, they came to an agreement. Michael bought the computer, but he could only play it on certain days. ③________ Of course, your parents might refuse to agree with something. In these situations, it is especially important to show your love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values (价值观). Because of the generation gap, the values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. Communication is an art! It is worth having a try! 1．Who have a communication problem according to the passage? A．Parents and other people. B．School kids and their parents. C．Teachers and their students. D．Parents and children of all ages. 2．What did Michael want to buy? A．A basketball. B．A bike. C．A computer.

A．Some advice on having a conversation. B．Some ways to bridge the generation gap. C．Some ways to reach an agreement with others. D．Some advice on making our parents happy. Passage 2 （江西省宜春市丰城市第九中学2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末考试英语试题）The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese art. It has a history of over 1,000 years in China. In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. Later oil paper umbrellas spread to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos. However, as steel-ribbed (钢骨的) umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. As a result, they were turned into decorative artifacts (装饰性工艺品). Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo, a coating of Tung oil (桐油). They need to take more than 70 steps. It takes at least a week to make an umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录) of China. A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. In 2017, Liu opened an online shop to sell oil paper umbrellas. Now Liu’s shop has more than 80,000 followers. He hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students.

It’s one of the oldest and most basic forms of communication. Smiles and laughs mean the same thing in all cultures. They express joy. They are signs of peace and happiness. A smile or laugh can be contagious (有感染力的). When people around us smile or laugh, we usually do the same. And scientists believe that millions of years ago before languages started to develop, smiles helped humans form relationships. Nowadays, it also can help us in our stressful life. Studies show that people live longer when they spend more time with groups of happy friends. _________ Studies have shown that laughs and smiles can both cause the brain to send “happy” chemicals into the body. These chemicals reduce stress and help strengthen the body’s systems. Laughing is also good for our hearts. Because of these health effects, laughter therapy (疗法) has become more and more popular. The idea of “clown (小丑) care” started in New York. A doctor named Patch Adams started to dress as a clown and make sick children laugh. Patients in a hospital are usually worried and bored, but hospital clowns can help them be happier and get better faster. So, the more we smile, the happier and healthier we may be.

Now a new study has found that teaching bike-riding skills to middle school students during physical education classes might help improve their mental health. The study was made because of the fact that students are starting to experience all kinds of pressure from school and home. Generally, the key period of encouraging children to enjoy the benefits of bike riding is in the middle school. So, Sean Wilson and his team decided to test whether taking part in a cycling instruction program could result in measurable changes in health and happiness for young people. They invited more than 1, 200 students from middle schools across the country and they were offered a program called Riding for Focus, provided by the nonprofit organization Outride. The invited students were asked to take part in cycling classes for at least three days a week for 6-8 weeks. They learned about cycling safety and skills while having fun and increasing their heart rate through outdoor activities. The researchers gave questionnaires (问卷) to the invited students at the beginning and end of the program to measure their well-being. “From the results of the surveys, we know that physical activities like cycling can benefit not only the body but also the mind and social relationships,” says Esther Walker. The study is encouraging, but it’s not a cure-all. “It’s important to realize that other factors (因素) also play a role in healthy living. For example, students who didn’t limit their screen time to at most two hours a day or who got less than eight and a half hours of sleep saw less improvement in their well-being,” says Sean Wilson. 1．Why did the researchers do the study? A．To give students cycling safety tips. B．To measure students’ health condition. C．To develop students’ interest in cycling. D．To test riding’s effects on kids’ mental health. 2．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The researchers.B．The invited students.C．The cycling classes. D．The middle schools. 3．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．What the research found out. B．How dependable the research was. C．How the new research was carried out. D．Why the new research was carried out. 4．What can we learn about the invited students in the study? A．They hoped to improve their cycling skills. B．They took cycling classes as many as possible. C．They took part in both outdoor and indoor activities. D．They completed questionnaires before and after the program. 5．What does Wilson think of the study? A．It should include more young students. B．It needs to be improved in a new situation. C．It is helpful but can not solve any problem. D．It was a failure but worth being studied more.

AI image-making tools such as Mid-journey and DALL-E 2 can now make amazing digital (数码的) paintings. How do they work? For DALL-E 2, the AI is fed huge collections of artworks. The program finds patterns (模式) in the pictures and, after a while, learns which features (特征) are important, such as people, animals, objects, styles, or colors. Then it can produce images that keep the key features and produce a good result. The app produces a lot of images at the same time but chooses the most accurate (准确的) ones for the user to choose from. These days, anyone can go online or download an app to produce their own AI art. Just give the program a few key words and choose a style, and it will create a digital painting in the style you want. This means that anyone can now create art, even if they don’t know how to paint. Not everyone is happy about the growth of AI-generated (生成的) art. To some, it isn’t art at all because AI depends on learning from only the information it is given. The AI isn’t creating on its own. However, others think that AI is the same as humans and it is no different from any other artist. Some people also say that AI art has no value because it is too easy. It isn’t created step-by-step by a human. Yet the same is true of photography. Just as artists of an earlier age welcomed photography, some artists today are using AI to create unique works of art. These artists find that they have to work together with the AI in exploring and experimenting—it isn’t simple at all! At the heart of this debate (辩论) is an important question: Will AI replace human artists, or will humans learn to use AI as a tool to create great art? Only time will tell. 1．People can use Midjourney and DALL-E 2 to ________. A．collect artworks B．create paintings C．produce image-making tool D．take digital pictures of famous paintings 2．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．A style. B．AI art. C．The program. D．A key word. 3．Why are some people against AI-generated art? A．Because it is created step-by-step by humans. B．Because it can help people create unique artworks. C．Because it’s too difficult to operate the technology. D．Because it depends on learning from information instead of creating on its own. 4．From this passage we can know the writer is ________ about the future of using AI to create art. A．uncertain B．sure C．worried D．excited 5．Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A．AI Art: A New Trend in the Art World B．The Disadvantages of AI in Art Creation C．How to Make AI Art D．The Relationship between AI and Human Artists Passage 7 （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）Plenty More Fish When you think of the sea, you may not think of Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia (内蒙古). But recently the “seafood” produced in these places has become popular, especially after Japan put nuclear-contaminated water (核污染水) into the sea, reported China Daily. In Nilka county (尼勒克县) in Xinjiang, about 6,000 tons of rainbow trout (虹鳟鱼) will be produced this year. Rainbow trout belongs to the same family as salmon (鲑鱼) — a kind of well-known seafood. It tastes like salmon too. Why do farmers there choose to grow fish? The weather in some parts of Xinjiang is seldom hot, and the rivers are fed by meltwater (融水) from the Tianshan Mountains. Water deeper than 6 meters always stays at 10°C． As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it’s a “comfortable” home for fish, Li Chunyu, a worker at a fish company in Xinjiang, told China Daily. To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water. They also use net cages (网箱) that are good for the environment. The nets are about 51 meters wide and lie 25 meters deep in the river. Meanwhile, in Inner Mongolia, whiteleg shrimps (南美白对虾) grow well. Saline soil (盐碱土) covers a large part of the desert where few plants are able to grow. Farmers used to put water from the Yellow River onto the farmland to wash away the salt. This was a waste of salty water.    Scientists then decided to create “seawater” with the salty water by adding in some other components. Whiteleg shrimps can live well in this kind of water. They taste no different from the same kind of shrimp that grows in the sea. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling stories.B．By listing numbers.C．By giving examples. D．By raising questions. 2．What do we know about rainbow trout? A．It can only live in the sea. B．It’s mainly produced in Japan. C．Its family is the same as salmon’s. D．It’s a kind of well-known seafood. 3．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．The farmers in Nilka. B．The weather in Xinjiang. C．The meltwater from the Tianshan Mountains. D．The reason why farmers in Nilka grow fish. 4．What does the underlined word “components” mean in Paragraph 5? A．things. B．changes. C．experiments. D．instructions. 5．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤⑥ B．①/②③④⑤/⑥ C．①/②③④⑤⑥ D．①②③④⑤/⑥ Passage 8 （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）What’s Anti-Bullying Day (反霸凌日)? Anti-Bullying Day is a special day when people talk about bullying and what we can do to stop it. A lot of children take part in activities at school and online, to learn about what bullying means and what we can do if we see it happening. When is Anti-Bullying Day? The date of Anti-Bullying Day is different in different countries. In many places, it’s on 4 May (United Nations Anti-Bullying Day). In the UK, Anti-Bullying Week takes place every November. Every day of the year, it’s important to stand up against bullying. What exactly is bullying? Often bullying happens when one person has more power than the other person—perhaps they’re bigger or older, or they have more friends. When someone uses their power to hurt another person on purpose, especially more than once, that’s bullying. Bullying can be with words (saying mean things) or it can be physical (hitting, pushing or taking someone’s things). Leaving someone out of a group or ignoring (忽视) them again and again is also bullying. How can we stand up against bullying? If someone is bullying you, you could ignore them, tell them to stop or walk away. Pretend that you don’t care and try to look confident, even if you don’t feel it. Tell a friend or a classmate what’s happening and ask them to help you; or talk to your parents, a teacher or another adult you trust. If you see someone else being bullied, never join in with the bullying or laugh at it. That will make it worse. Instead, be an “upstander”—help and support the person who is being bullied. Tell a trusted adult about the bullying. If we all stand up against bullying, we can make it stop. 1．What is the main purpose of Anti-Bullying Day? A．To remind children to be kind. B．To organize special activities at school. C．To discuss bullying and the prevention measures. D．To encourage children to take part in activities online. 2．In the UK, when is Anti-Bullying Week held? A．In November. B．On May 4. C．Each week. D．Every day. 3．Which of the following is a form of bullying? A．Invite someone to join a group. B．Say unkind words to others once. C．Hurt the other person by accident. D．Push someone on purpose repeatedly. 4．What should you do if you see someone being bullied? A．Stand by and do nothing. B．Report it to a trusted adult. C．Walk away or ignore them. D．Join in and support the bully. 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．The History of Anti-Bullying Day B．The Importance of Anti-Bullying Day C．Anti-Bullying Day: Different Dates and Celebrations D．Anti-Bullying Day: Raising Awareness and Taking Action. Passage 9 （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）During the Spring Festival, Liu Huimin and his team set up a furnace (熔炉). Inside the furnace is burning-hot liquid iron (铁水) which would be thrown into the air to create fireworks. This show is known as “Datiehua”. It has been considered as a form of celebration during China’s Spring Festival and Lantern Festival since the Song Dynasty. Each show is given for good luck. When villagers open a business or get married, they invite Liu and his team to perform the show. “I grew up by the Yellow River. I have been doing it for more than 40 years.” Liu said. For people in Shanxi Province, Datiehua is one of the most popular Spring Festival customs. According to Liu, the furnace needs to be heated for nearly 40 minutes and the temperature must be higher than 1,500℃. Only in this way can the liquid iron be fine enough to create wonderful sparks (火花). When night falls, the show starts. Using a big long spoon, a man takes the liquid iron from the furnace. He then hits the spoon with a piece of wood. Bang! Bang! The red-hot liquid iron becomes dazzling (耀眼的) sparks. These shining “stars” light up the dark sky. They can be more beautiful than real fireworks. People sit or stand with happy smiles on their faces. Behind the wonderful show lies great danger because accidents still happen. During a show in Henan Province, Liu’s hair got a little burnt. “People ask me why I’m still doing it when it’s so dangerous. I tell them that I’m just happy to bring joy to people.” Liu said. 1．What is Datiehua? A．A traditional dance. B．A show of celebration. C．A type of Chinese music.

Passage 2 （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）Have you ever walked into a room and realized you couldn’t remember what you were looking for? We seem to do this more when we are thinking of a few things at once or doing two things at the same time. For example, you’re crossing the street while chatting with a friend, or walking across a room while answering a phone. Some people call this dual-tasking. Everyone does it and we tend to get better at it as we get older and learn new skills. Our brain is a truly amazing computer—more powerful than any real computer, but it can only use so much energy at one time. Think of your brain as a power station, providing electricity for a number of cities, some cities need a lot of energy by having all their lights on, other cities would have less power to work with. There’s only so much electricity to go around. For young kids, dual-tasking is possible. However some studies suggest that it can be a little more difficult for younger kids compared with older kids. Why? The power station in their brain is a little smaller and can’t produce quite the same amount of energy as older kids. So why do you sometimes forget to say something before you say it? The answer is that you are likely to have been dual-tasking just before speaking. It might be because you were thinking about the words you wanted to say and something else at the same time, Sometimes your brain just can’t do two complicated (复杂的) things at once. You may not have enough energy at that moment. Forgetting things is normal for everyone and can happen when you are doing too many things, When it happens to you, don’t be nervous! 1．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By listing numbers. B．By asking a question. C．By showing a saying. D．By comparing the facts. 2．What does the underlined word “dual-tasking” probably mean in the passage? A．Doing two jobs at the same time. B．Being relaxed and easy. C．Focusing on one main thing. D．Doing something without planning. 3．According to the writer, our brain is like a ______. A．light B．book C．train D．computer 4．Why is dual-tasking more difficult for younger kids compared to older kids? A．Younger kids are less focused. B．The power station in their brain is smaller. C．They have not learned enough skills. D．Their brains develop more slowly. 5．What is the main idea of this passage? A．To explain how the brain functions like a power station. B．To discuss the differences in dual-tasking ability between young and old kids. C．To give the reasons for forgetting things and the concept of dual-tasking. D．To show the importance of avoiding dual-tasking to prevent forgetting. Passage 3 （江西省赣州市寻乌县2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末考试英语试题）Chinese Zhusuan is one of the scientific achievements in ancient China. The abacus (算盘) is easy to use as a tool for calculation (计算). This invention shows the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people. About 2,000 years ago in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Hong mentioned the idea of “Zhusuan”. However, the idea dated back to a time earlier than this. According to research, the early Zhusuan was developed from rod-arithmetic. The method of rod-arithmetic is nearly the same as that of Zhusuan. It needs large space, and the way of placing rods (棒) is neither simple to explain nor easy to understand. In the Han Dynasty, thanks to the Silk Road, the business in ancient China developed rapidly. As a result, a lot of calculation methods also developed. At that point, Zhusuan, which was more convenient than rod-arithmetic, started to be used. The early abacus was different from what we use today. In the Tang Dynasty, abacuses similar to the ones we use today appeared. In the Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, the abacus reached its full development. Its use was introduced to all walks of life. In the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Dawei produced a math book called General Source of Computational Methods (《算法统宗》). This book further sped up the development of the abacus. It was also spread to Japan and Southeast Asia, and it played an important role in influencing the local development of math. Nowadays, Chinese Zhusuan has become an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) and we believe the story about this amazing calculation tool will continue. 1．What do we know about rod-arithmetic according to the passage? A．It takes up little space. B．It can be easily understood. C．Its method is similar to that of Zhusuan. D．It was fully developed in the Han Dynasty. 2．Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “________” in Paragraph 2. A．Then the modern rod-arithmetic was invented. B．But rod-arithmetic took a long time to be put into use. C．Finally, the rod-arithmetic enjoyed great popularity then. D．However, the improvement of rod-arithmetic was difficult. 3．Put the events in the correct order. ①Cheng Dawei completed his book on math. ②Rod-arithmetic appeared as a calculation method. ③Liu Hong mentioned the idea of “Zhusuan”. ④The abacus, which was similar to the recent abacus, appeared.
