Passage 1
(24九年级上·福建省泉州市多校联合·中考二模)
We all want to be successful in achieving our goals. Goals give our lives meaning and help to improve us. However, have you ever tried to reach a big goal only to finally give up? 1 We usually focus on the end goals instead of the small and important steps we take to get us there.
2 The problem of not doing this is that we end up losing our motivation (动力). We usually lose heart when we aren’t sure how far we’re away from our goals. So it is important to celebrate our small wins along the way. Celebrating small wins gives us a feeling of pride and makes us want to go further towards the next goal.
To celebrate small wins, you can think about what you enjoy the most each time you complete a step. This could be anything like giving yourself your favorite coffee or taking a trip somewhere. 3
Sometimes, we may give up because we don’t know how close we are to success and forget how much we’ve done. 4 This will tell you how far you’ve come in achieving your goal.
When we focus too much on the end goal, it seems too far away to get to. 5 Instead, you can consider it as going down a hill with perhaps a few nice restaurants to relax in on the way down. Enjoying your progress in this way will make long-term goals seem easier to achieve.
A.Write down your progress.
B.It’s important to celebrate small wins.
C.Don’t think of it as climbing a huge mountain.
D.Having something to look forward to helps the brain create motivation.
E.The key to success is realizing that a big goal can’t be achieved overnight.
Passage 2
(24-25九年级上·吉林省长春市新解放学校·期末)
Imagine you’re taking an exam, and that you find it difficult to answer those questions. And time’s running out. 1 Probably, some of us have once cheated in the test.
Certainly, it’s not correct. It’s important to follow the rules because the world would turn into a total mess without rules. 2 However, with time passing by and the development of the society, some rules have gotten in the way of people’s success. Amold Schwarzenegger once said, “We have so many rules in life about everything. But it’s impossible to be a creator if you’ re too well-behaved (很乖的). You have to think outside the box.”
Not all rules are equal (平等的) and helpful. 3 So sometimes, it’s OK to break the rules. But how to break the rules, the following advice can offer some help.
※Learn the rules first.
Picasso was a talented artist, but he spent much time learning traditional drawing and painting skills before he found his own styles. Master it before you break it—that’s what you can learn from great minds.
※Evaluate (评估) if the result is worth it.
Each person has his own values (价值观). 4 And the moment you decide to do that, you must be ready to face the bad results.
5 So, there is reason to believe that we should try to break the rules when they prevent us from becoming better. Of course, one can be a fan of breaking the rules, but don’t be a fan of breaking the laws.
根据短文内容,选择合适的句子补全短文。
A.All in all, rules should help us, not rule us.
B.Would you waste the little chance that you get to cheat?
C.Some are created to control people and some are old and boring.
D.Before breaking the rules, think over whether it will go against your values.
E.For example, if we don’t follow the traffic rules, accidents would happen everywhere.

Passage 1
(24九年级·吉林省第二实验学校·中考一模)
Different countries have different rules on doing business. When there is a chance for you to go abroad for a business purpose, it is best to be clear about the rules and customs. 1
In Brazil
Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (especially women) with light kisses.
2 Business meetings sometimes start later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can last for hours―there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication to mails or phone calls.
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. 3 This is because arriving late is considered impolite.
In Switzerland
The Swiss call each other by their last name. They are also respectful of private lives. 4
For example, asking about a lady’s age or how much they make a month is seen impolite. Being on time is required. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree.
5 They keep their hands be seen at the table and their arms off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.
Please remember, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Passage 1
(24-25九年级上·吉林省长春市二道区·期末)
People often use the natural world as inspiration for their inventions. 1 Here are some examples.
Animals can do many things that humans can’t do, like flying or staying underwater for a long time. 2 Thanks to it, people can travel far in the air. This has helped to develop trade and travelling. The idea of the submarine (潜水艇) comes from a sea animal. It can travel underwater. 3
Plants around us are also great sources of ideas for other wonderful inventions. The self-cleaning glass window and the cloth used to make umbrellas were both inspired by the leaves of a lotus plant, with their ability to wash away dirty things in the rain. 4 Georges de Mestral was a Swiss engineer who, while walking his dog in the forest in, noticed that his coat was covered in burrs (苍耳). Through a microscope, he discovered that burrs were able to attach themselves to clothing and other surfaces. This observation sparked his inspiration, finally leading to the invention of Velcro. It has become a fastener (扣件) for shoes, jackets and even spacesuits.
5 Scientists and inventors have tried to learn more about things in nature to create better, stronger and safer tools for our everyday life.

Passage 2
(21-22 九年级上·吉林省长春市二道区·期末)
How important is Music? Many people usually think that listening to music is nice but not very important. It is often only thought to be a kind of entertainment(娱乐), but not the first choice for education. 1 In fact, music education is much more necessary than people generally think.
Music tells us who we are. Music reflects the musicians’ thoughts and ideas, and the social environment they came from. For example, Mozart’s music represents(代表)a lifestyle, rock music also represents a lifestyle. 2 He introduced jazz style into his music.
3 Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores emotional(探索情感的)meanings, such as sadness and happiness. People need every possible way to learn about our world.
Music shows people’s thoughts. It’s a special language. We can “talk” to each other and exchange our thoughts in this amazing way. Through the language we express our feelings, discoveries, ideas and hopes. 4 When we do not let our children receive a good music education, we take them away from the meaning that music expresses. Our children are missing a wonderful part in their lives. 5
Next time when you listen to music, try to think more about it.
A.All of these can be shared with others.
B.So music education is necessary for all students.
C.George Gershwin’s music is another example.
D.However, this opinion is not true.
E.Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way.

Passage 1
(24九年级上·福建省泉州市多校联合·中考二模)
We all want to be successful in achieving our goals. Goals give our lives meaning and help to improve us. However, have you ever tried to reach a big goal only to finally give up? 1 We usually focus on the end goals instead of the small and important steps we take to get us there.
2 The problem of not doing this is that we end up losing our motivation (动力). We usually lose heart when we aren’t sure how far we’re away from our goals. So it is important to celebrate our small wins along the way. Celebrating small wins gives us a feeling of pride and makes us want to go further towards the next goal.
To celebrate small wins, you can think about what you enjoy the most each time you complete a step. This could be anything like giving yourself your favorite coffee or taking a trip somewhere. 3
Sometimes, we may give up because we don’t know how close we are to success and forget how much we’ve done. 4 This will tell you how far you’ve come in achieving your goal.
When we focus too much on the end goal, it seems too far away to get to. 5 Instead, you can consider it as going down a hill with perhaps a few nice restaurants to relax in on the way down. Enjoying your progress in this way will make long-term goals seem easier to achieve.
A.Write down your progress.
B.It’s important to celebrate small wins.
C.Don’t think of it as climbing a huge mountain.
D.Having something to look forward to helps the brain create motivation.
E.The key to success is realizing that a big goal can’t be achieved overnight.
【答案】1.E 2.B 3.D 4.A 5.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。我们通常只关注终极目标的实现,却忽略了我们在实现这些目标的过程中取得的小的胜利。文章主要告诉我们要庆祝小的胜利,记录下自己的进步,以便自己不断朝着目标前进。
1.根据上文“However, have you ever tried to reach a big goal only to finally give up?”可知,曾经试图达到一个大目标,却最终放弃,所以此处应说明大目标不能实现的原因;选项E“成功的关键在于认识到远大的目标不可能一蹴而就。”符合语境。故选E。
2.根据下文“So it is important to celebrate our small wins along the way. Celebrating small wins gives us a feeling of pride and makes us want to go further towards the next goal.”可知,当我们不确定我们离目标还有多远的时候,庆祝小的胜利给了我们一种自豪感,所以此处应是指祝小胜利是重要的;选项B“庆祝小的胜利是很重要的。”符合语境。故选B。
3.根据上文“This could be anything like giving yourself your favorite coffee or taking a trip somewhere.”可知,为了庆祝小胜利,可以给自己一些奖励,比如给自己喝你最喜欢的咖啡,或者去某个地方旅行,有所期待会帮助大脑创造动力;选项D“有期待的事情可以帮助大脑产生动力。”符合语境。故选D。
4.根据下文“This will tell you how far you’ve come in achieving your goal.”可知,记录你取得的每一次进步会告诉你,你在实现目标的过程中走了多远;选项A“记录下你的进步。”符合语境。故选A。
5.根据下文“Instead, you can consider it as going down a hill with perhaps a few nice restaurants to relax in on the way down.”可知,你可以把实现目标想象成下山,也许在下山的路上有几家不错的餐馆可以放松一下,所以此处是指不要把实现目标的过程想象成爬山;选项C“不要把它想象成攀登一座大山。”符合语境。故选C。
Passage 2
(24-25九年级上·吉林省长春市新解放学校·期末)
Imagine you’re taking an exam, and that you find it difficult to answer those questions. And time’s running out. 1 Probably, some of us have once cheated in the test.
Certainly, it’s not correct. It’s important to follow the rules because the world would turn into a total mess without rules. 2 However, with time passing by and the development of the society, some rules have gotten in the way of people’s success. Amold Schwarzenegger once said, “We have so many rules in life about everything. But it’s impossible to be a creator if you’ re too well-behaved (很乖的). You have to think outside the box.”
Not all rules are equal (平等的) and helpful. 3 So sometimes, it’s OK to break the rules. But how to break the rules, the following advice can offer some help.
※Learn the rules first.
Picasso was a talented artist, but he spent much time learning traditional drawing and painting skills before he found his own styles. Master it before you break it—that’s what you can learn from great minds.
※Evaluate (评估) if the result is worth it.
Each person has his own values (价值观). 4 And the moment you decide to do that, you must be ready to face the bad results.
5 So, there is reason to believe that we should try to break the rules when they prevent us from becoming better. Of course, one can be a fan of breaking the rules, but don’t be a fan of breaking the laws.
根据短文内容,选择合适的句子补全短文。
A.All in all, rules should help us, not rule us.
B.Would you waste the little chance that you get to cheat?
C.Some are created to control people and some are old and boring.
D.Before breaking the rules, think over whether it will go against your values.
E.For example, if we don’t follow the traffic rules, accidents would happen everywhere.
【答案】1.B 2.E 3.C 4.D 5.A
【导语】本文介绍了在某些情况下打破规则的重要性以及如何明智地打破规则以实现更大的成功和创造力。
1.根据下文“Probably, some of us have once cheated in the test.”可知,也许,我们中的一些人曾经在考试中作弊;由此推知空处与作弊相关;选项B“你会浪费这一点点作弊的机会吗?”符合语境。故选B。
2.根据上文“It’s important to follow the rules because the world would turn into a total mess without rules.”可知,如果没有规则,世界就会变得一团糟;由此推知此处是进一步举例说明;选项E“例如,如果我们不遵守交通规则,到处都会发生事故。”符合语境。故选E。
3.根据上文“Not all rules are equal (平等的) and helpful.”可知,不是所有的规则都是平等且有帮助的;由此推知此处会提到一些规则是什么样的;选项C“有些是用来控制人的,有些是老旧的,无聊的。”符合语境。故选C。
4.根据上文“Each person has his own values (价值观).”可知,每个人都有自己的价值观;由此推知此处与价值观相关;选项D“在打破规则之前,想一想它是否会违背你的价值观。”符合语境。故选D。
5.根据下文“So, there is reason to believe that we should try to break the rules when they prevent us from becoming better.”可知,当规则阻止我们变得更好时,我们应该尝试打破规则;由此推知我们不能被规则统治;选项A“总之,规则应该帮助我们,而不是统治我们。”符合语境。故选A。

Passage 1
(24九年级·吉林省第二实验学校·中考一模)
Different countries have different rules on doing business. When there is a chance for you to go abroad for a business purpose, it is best to be clear about the rules and customs. 1
In Brazil
Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (especially women) with light kisses.
2 Business meetings sometimes start later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can last for hours―there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication to mails or phone calls.
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. 3 This is because arriving late is considered impolite.
In Switzerland
The Swiss call each other by their last name. They are also respectful of private lives. 4
For example, asking about a lady’s age or how much they make a month is seen impolite. Being on time is required. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree.
5 They keep their hands be seen at the table and their arms off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.
Please remember, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

People often use the natural world as inspiration for their inventions. 1 Here are some examples.
Animals can do many things that humans can’t do, like flying or staying underwater for a long time. 2 Thanks to it, people can travel far in the air. This has helped to develop trade and travelling. The idea of the submarine (潜水艇) comes from a sea animal. It can travel underwater. 3
Plants around us are also great sources of ideas for other wonderful inventions. The self-cleaning glass window and the cloth used to make umbrellas were both inspired by the leaves of a lotus plant, with their ability to wash away dirty things in the rain. 4 Georges de Mestral was a Swiss engineer who, while walking his dog in the forest in, noticed that his coat was covered in burrs (苍耳). Through a microscope, he discovered that burrs were able to attach themselves to clothing and other surfaces. This observation sparked his inspiration, finally leading to the invention of Velcro. It has become a fastener (扣件) for shoes, jackets and even spacesuits.
5 Scientists and inventors have tried to learn more about things in nature to create better, stronger and safer tools for our everyday life.

Passage 2
(21-22 九年级上·吉林省长春市二道区·期末)
How important is Music? Many people usually think that listening to music is nice but not very important. It is often only thought to be a kind of entertainment(娱乐), but not the first choice for education. 1 In fact, music education is much more necessary than people generally think.
Music tells us who we are. Music reflects the musicians’ thoughts and ideas, and the social environment they came from. For example, Mozart’s music represents(代表)a lifestyle, rock music also represents a lifestyle. 2 He introduced jazz style into his music.
3 Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores emotional(探索情感的)meanings, such as sadness and happiness. People need every possible way to learn about our world.
Music shows people’s thoughts. It’s a special language. We can “talk” to each other and exchange our thoughts in this amazing way. Through the language we express our feelings, discoveries, ideas and hopes. 4 When we do not let our children receive a good music education, we take them away from the meaning that music expresses. Our children are missing a wonderful part in their lives. 5
Next time when you listen to music, try to think more about it.
A.All of these can be shared with others.
B.So music education is necessary for all students.
C.George Gershwin’s music is another example.
D.However, this opinion is not true.

2.根据下文“He introduced jazz style into his music.”可知,此处应介绍把“爵士风格”引入音乐中的人,选项C“乔治·格什温的音乐是另外一个例子。”符合语境。故选C。
3.根据下文“Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores emotional(探索情感的)meanings, such as sadness and happiness.”可知,科学和音乐都可以帮助人们认识世界,但是二者方式不同,选项E“音乐提供了一种以不同方式了解世界的能力。”符合语境。故选E。
4.根据上文“We can ‘talk’ to each other and exchange our thoughts in this amazing way. Through the language we express our feelings, discoveries, ideas and hopes.”可知,我们可以传达感情、发现、观点和希望,还可以和别人分享自己的想法和感受,选项A“所有这些都可以与他人分享。”符合语境。故选A。
