专题04 阅读理解-说明文 主题01 人与自我-文化 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·重庆大足·期末） The Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong has become a big hit. It sold more than 10 million copies in just three days after it came out on Aug 20. The game is based on the Chinese story Journey to the West. In the game, you play as the Destined One, a monkey following in the footsteps of the Monkey King on a journey to bring him back. Many players, especially those from Western countries, find the game’s story and characters hard to understand because it’s so much about Chinese culture. To help, some Western fans have put in a lot of work. One fan even wrote a long summary of Sun Wukong’s abilities in all 100 chapters of Journey to the West. By looking into the game and its background, Western players not only improved their gaming skills but also grew to understand Sun Wukong and the story of Journey to the West. “Sun Wukong gives off a carefree, independent and chaotic (无秩序的) nature. He is not controlled by the need to set a good example for others like Spider-Man or Superman, who follow strict rules like with great power comes great responsibility (责任),” said Patrick McCarthy from the US.

Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·重庆渝中·期末） Staying strong during hard times is a beautiful quality (品质) of human beings. The following two poems talk about this quality. Bamboo in the Rock By Zheng Xie Upright stands the bamboo amid green mountains steep, Its toothlike root in broken rock is planted deep. It’s strong and firm (坚固的) though struck and beaten without rest, Careless of the wind from north or south, east or west. If By Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming (指责) it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wisely. … Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son! In Zheng’s poem, we can see that bamboo is full of life and never gives up in hard times. Though this poem may seem to be about bamboo, its message is that people should have the same strength. It shows that perseverance does matter. Kipling calls on people to stay strong in failure or times of trouble and to deal with them in a calm (平静的) way. 1．What can we learn from both poems?

A boy is reading a book carefully in his seat in the subway while many other people are checking their phones. To encourage reading, a Chinese company started a book-sharing activity. They put over 10,000 books around the underground, in taxis and on planes in Beijing. Since the activity started, it has earned the support of many people, even some popular celebrities (名人). The book-sharing activity, however, drew much more criticism (批评) than praise because some books were left untouched, or taken away by cleaners. People also complained that they couldn’t reach the books-the underground was too crowded. ________ “I think most people may end up taking selfies (自拍) when they pick up the books and posting on WeChat Moments. After that, they will just bring the books back home and put them on their bookshelves,” wrote one Weibo user. Some pointed out that some celebrities who supported the activity didn’t seem to be reading much. They just wanted to draw others’ attention. Isn’t it embarrassing that the activity is supported by celebrities who don’t read a lot? “The book-sharing activity is not at all a bad thing. Over the years, everybody has been busy with work. They don’t have time for reading,” said a famous Chinese writer. “However, it doesn’t mean we should do nothing to encourage reading.” 1．How does the writer introduce the topic in Paragraph 1?

B．The sharing books cause traffic accidents. C．Chinese people take too many selfies. D．We shouldn’t give up encouraging reading. 4．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To show people the value of reading. B．To ask people to return the books on time. C．To encourage people to stick to reading. D．To advise people not to take selfies.

Passage 5 （24-25九年级上·重庆江津·期末） ①To provide longer breaks for people, public holidays in China will be increased by two days from January 2025, according to new holiday rules of the Chinese government. ②Under the new rule, the national holiday of Spring Festival will increase from three to four days, now including Lunar New Year’s Eve on Jan 28th, being an eight-day holiday period. The May Day holiday will also grow to two days, with May 2 newly added, creating a five-day break. To achieve longer holiday periods, people will keep working for several days before and after the holidays. For example, for the Spring Festival in 2025, Jan 26th and Feb 8th, will be set as workdays, allowing people to enjoy an eight-day holiday instead of just four days. ③The changes also have an influence on other public holidays. New Year’s Day on Jan 1, the Tomb-Sweeping Day (清明), and the Dragon Boat Festival holidays will each last three days. Besides, the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday will fall on the same days in 2025. There will be an eight-day holiday from Oct 1st. ④People often worry about workdays before and after the long holidays. The new rules say that workdays before and after national holidays will not be more than six days in total, except in special situations. Since the rule, data (数据) has shown ticket booking (预订) for the 2025 Spring Festival holiday on the Internet, was 2.2 times higher than usual. Travelers from cities like Chengdu, Zhengzhou, and Shanghai have already booked tickets for Lunar New Year’s Eve. ⑤All in all, the longer breaks bring people happiness. They can spend more time with their family and friends. 1．How many national holidays will people have in Spring Festival in 2025? A．30 days. B．8 days. C．4 days.

B．Book tickets on the Internet. C．Tell the rules to their family. D．Stay up late. 4．Which of the following is the right structure (结构) of the passage? (Para. 1=①; Para. 2=②…) A．①/②③/④⑤ B．①②/③④/⑤ C．①②/③/④⑤ D．①/②③④/⑤ Passage 6 （24-25九年级上·重庆南岸·期末） ①During the Han Dynasty people preferred small waists, while in the Tang Dynasty people admired plumpness (圆润), considering it a symbol of beauty. Until this day, people’s build is still a hot topic. ②Now some girls don’t feel confident if they have a pear-shaped build, with hips that are wider than the bust and shoulders. Many pear-shaped girls try to hide their hips and legs under large dresses and pants. ③However, a recent study suggested that pear-shaped people are the ones who won the genetic lottery (基因彩票)! ④The study by the US National Library of Medicine found that the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR, 腰臀比) shows the strongest relationship with death. Traditionally, the BMI (体重指数) has been considered the best way to judge whether a person is healthy or not. However, this study challenges this conclusion. After surveying nearly 40,000 people, scientists found no matter what a person’s BMI is, the larger his WHR is, the easier he will die. Instead of focusing on how much fat a person has, scientists suggest people should focus more on where the fat is in a person’s body. ⑤WHR, as its name suggests, compares your waist to your hip. A larger waist means morecentral fat, which could mean more visceral fat (内脏脂肪). More visceral fat increases the risk of illnesses. That’s why people with a pear-shaped body are always healthier than others. According to the World Health Organization, a healthy WHR is less than 0.85 for women and less than 0.9 for men. ⑥Researchers from Johns Hopkins University suggested we should focus more on health instead of the build. As middle school students, since we are growing, it’s pretty common to put on some weight and get bigger. We can’t control our natural body types, but we can control our health. 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．Small waist. B．Plumpness. C．The good build. D．Pear-shaped body. 2．Which of the following should girls focus more on according to the passage? A．They should try to keep their BMI as low as possible to get good health. B．They should keep their WHR within the healthy limit of less than 0.85. C．They only need to make their waists as small as possible to look pretty. D．They should focus on cutting down both BMI and WHR to the lowest. 3．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A．①②/③/④/⑤⑥ B．①/②/③④/⑤⑥ C．①②/③/④⑤/⑥ D．①/②/③④⑤/⑥ 4．What may happen according to the passage? A．Pear-shaped girls will stop wearing large clothes. B．Doctors won’t use BMI to check people’s health. C．People will care more about WHR for health. D．Schools will teach more about body shapes. Passage 7 （24-25九年级上·重庆巴南·期末） ①How many students in your class wear glasses? Probably a lot. To treat nearsightedness (近视), many people choose to do surgery (手术). Many people believe eye surgery can solve the problem forever, but that may not be true. ②What causes nearsightedness and how can the surgeries help? ③People with nearsightedness can’t see things correctly because their eyes can’t focus light correctly. Normally, when we see things, light comes into our eyes and focuses on the retina (视网膜), which is the part at the back of the eye. But for those with nearsightedness, light focuses in front of the retina in their eyes. As a result, things far away seem unclear but close things seem clear. ④Now the treatments fall into two main types. One is laser eye surgery (激光手术), the other is intraocular lens implants (IOLs). The IOLs method is often used on patients with serious nearsightedness. ⑤“After the surgery, I can see very clearly. Life is more convenient without having to wear glasses,” said Xu Jiayi, a 19-year-old girl, who had surgery five months ago. “However, it hurt a lot after the surgery. And I need to take medicine for at least three months. These medicines help prevent dry eye and other eye problems.” ⑥However, if you don’t look after your eye health, nearsightedness may return after the surgery. “After looking at the computer all day at work and then using my phone, things start to look unclear to me again,” said Du Anni, 32, who had the surgery nine years ago. She also mentioned one should go to the doctors to check if your eyes are OK every year. ⑦In a word, the surgery just lets you ‘take off our glasses’, it can not solve the problem of nearsightedness completely. We should always protect our eyes. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving facts. B．By telling a story. C．By asking a question. D．By providing an example. 2．What can we learn from the passage? A．Light enters at the back of the retina for nearsighted people. B．The IOLs method is for those with serious nearsightedness. C．Three types of treatments are mentioned in the passage. D．One doesn’t need to take care of the eyes after the surgery. 3．Why did the writer mention Du Anni’s example? A．To share a successful experience of taking the eye surgery. B．To encourage people to take eye surgery. C．To show the negative effects of taking eye surgery. D．To explain how to do eye surgery. 4．What’s the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④⑤/⑥⑦ B．①②③/④⑤/⑥⑦ C．①②/③④⑤/⑥⑦ D．①/②③④/⑤⑥/⑦ Passage 8 （24-25九年级上·重庆忠县·期末） Communicating with parents is one of the first things we have done since we were born. As we grow older, we’ll find it hard to communicate with our parents openly and effectively. So what should we do when communicating with them? Here are some of my ideas. Firstly, we can make a list of things our parents and we disagree about most. Try to find out the reason why we disagree with each other. Accept each other’s ideas little by little. If we still have disagreements, we’d better not get too angry. Secondly, we should talk with them more. Sharing ideas can make us closer. Besides, we should also learn how to really listen. Listening is a skill that must be learned and practiced. Finally, be sure to be polite. We have the same family in which everyone is loved and cared for. We should be kind and polite to each other. I hope my advice can help you communicate with your parents smoothly. If you have some good suggestions, please share with me. 1．How many suggestions does the writer give us from the passage? A．2.

B．We should talk with parents more. C．Listening must be learned and practiced. D．All above. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．How to Communicate with Our Parents B．Discuss with Our Parents C．The Same Family D．Talking with Our Parents 主题03 人与自我-学习策略 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·重庆江津·期末） Being good at studying is a skill that anyone can learn. There are some ways that will work and make a difference to your study. Create a study space. It’s good for you if you have a desk for studying. Make sure your space has good light and take away anything that might break your attention. Place the things you need on the desk, like pens, notebooks and dictionaries. So you can use them whenever you want. What’s more, ask the people around you not to influence you while you’re learning. Take a 10 to 15-minute break every hour when you study. You want to make full use of your time, so you might think having a break is a bad idea. However, spending long time on your study can make you feel exhausted. You’ll be full of energy after a rest. Use your breaks for something that cheers you up, like getting a snack or going for a short walk. But remember that don’t turn on the TV or play computer games. Make a link between what you learn and your real life. Sometimes you might think what you’re learning in class has nothing to do with your real life, but that’s usually not true. You can find links between them. And those can help you work out the problems in your real life. For example, when your father wants to paint the walls, maybe you can use math to calculate (计算) the area of them. 1．Which of the following might show you have a good study space? A．You don’t have a desk for studying. B．You study in a quiet room with good light. C．There are many snacks and toys on your desk. D．Many people are talking in your room. 2．What does the underlined word “exhausted” in the third paragraph mean? A．Bored. B．Relaxed. C．Tired. D．Excited. 3．Which of the following is talking about the link between what you learn and your life? A．You should create a study space. B．You should take a 10 to 15-minute break every hour when you study. C．You should get a snack or go for a short walk. D．You can use the knowledge of geography to know the change of weather. 4．What could be the best title for the text? A．The Meaning of Studying B．The Skills of Studying C．The Importance of Studying D．The Purpose of Studying Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·重庆合川·期末） ①With the development of science and technology, more and more kids are using audio books (有声书). A large number of experts say that audio books can help “readers” turn what they hear into written words—and may even encourage them to pick up a pen to write stories themselves. ②“Audio books have an immersive (沉浸式的) quality that brings stories to life,” said Leanne Cartwright, one of the experts. “When children listen to books, they use their imagination to meet different characters. Audio books lead kids to hear more difficult language and grammar than they hear in daily conversation.” ③Listening to audio books can even lead children to write themselves. “A real benefit (好处) of audio books is that children can use what they hear to improve their own writing,” Dr. Adonis said. “They can move their writing on from some simple words and sentences to really exciting ways of showing big ideas.” ④“If a child is having trouble learning the skill of reading, it can become a real obstacle to his or her development of creativity and the ability to tell stories,” Dr. Adonis added. “In such a difficult situation, an audio book is really helpful. While listening to them, children are still learning about how a story is organized. They are listening to descriptions and understanding dialogue and interpreting metaphors (解释隐喻). These great tools help them tell their own stories.” ⑤Audio books are influencing children in a great way. So let’s welcome audio books to help them more and make their life more exciting. 1．What does Leanne mean by mentioning the immersive quality of audio books? A．Audio books are only suitable for children with good hearing. B．Audio books are more expensive than traditional books. C．Audio books can only be listened to in a quiet environment. D．Audio books make children feel like they are part of the story. 2．The underlined word “obstacle” in Paragraph 4 has a similar meaning to _________. A．protection B．difficulty C．medicine D．success 3．The writer’s purpose of writing this passage is to _________. A．show the relationship between reading and writing B．encourage children to listen to more audio books C．tell differences between paper books and audio books D．show the influence of the development of technology 4．How is the passage organized? A． B． C． D． Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·重庆潼南·期末） ①Do you know the word “migrate”? ②“Migrate” is usually used to talk about certain animals such as birds and fish. When animals migrate, they travel a long way from one part of the world to another according to the season. Many animals migrate—they do this often at the same time and to the same place each year. They move to places where conditions are better—where the weather is warmer, where there is more food and water, or where their young will be safer. ③People also migrate. When people migrate, they go to live in another area or country, especially in order to find work. In England, when people leave their home country in order to live in another country, we use the word “emigrate” instead of “migrate”. From “migrate” and “emigrate” come the words “migration” and “emigration”. However, if people move from their home country to another to live there evermore (永久地), the word changes from “emigrate” to “immigrate” in the English language. Then the word “immigration” is born. ④Isn’t word-making of the English language interesting? And this process of finding out the relationships between words and learning them in a group or groups can be a way for you to learn the language. 1．Which situation can match the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．Snakes move into holes to sleep in winter. B．Fish swim to clean waters because of pollution. C．Butterflies in North America fly south to stay away from the cold. D．Birds fly very far away to find food and return to give it to their babies. 2．According to the text, if people ________, they leave their home country to live in another forever. A．migrate B．immigrate C．emigrate D．travel 3．What does the writer probably do? A．A language learner. B．An animal keeper. C．An immigration officer. D．An editor. 4．Which of the following is the correct structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph) A．①②/③④ B．①/②③④ C．①/②/③④ D．①/②③/④ Passage 4 （24-25九年级上·重庆巴南·期末） How often do you remember to tell people how much you like, admire (钦佩) or appreciate them? For many people, it’s not often enough. There are several reasons why we don’t let others know about our positive feelings towards them. I’ve heard excuses like, “They don’t need to hear me say that— they already know,” and “I do admire her, but I am too uncomfortable to say anything.” But when I ask someone if he enjoys being praised, the answer nine times out of ten is “I love it.” Whether our reason for not giving praise is not knowing what to say, feeling that other people already know their strengths and don’t need to be told, or simply not being in the habit of doing it, it’s time for a change. Many people spend their whole lifetime wishing that other people would acknowledge (承认) them. They feel this especially about their parents, children and friends. Even praise from strangers makes them feel good. Letting someone know the praise also makes the person offering it feel good. It’s an act of kindness. The other day, I was in a shop and saw something unimaginable. The checkout girl had just been scolded (责骂) by an angry customer— clearly without a good cause. But the girl controlled the anger by staying calm. When it was my turn to pay, I said to her, “________” She looked at me right in the eye and said, “Thank you, Sir. Do you know you are the first person ever to praise me in this shop?” It took less than two seconds to let her know, but it was a highlight (最精彩的部分) of her day, and of mine. 1．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A．Ways to praise others. B．Ways to make excuses for praise. C．Excuses for praising others. D．Reasons for not giving praise. 2．What can we learn from the passage? A．Most people know others admire them. B．Most people don’t want to know about others. C．Most people love getting praise from others. D．Most people enjoy giving others praise. 3．Which of the following sentence can be put in ________ in the passage? A．I’m so impressed by the way you treated that customer. B．I think you had better answer the customer’s questions. C．How did you control your anger? D．You shouldn’t treat the customer that way. 4．What’s the purpose of the writer in writing the passage? A．To describe some reasons for not giving praise. B．To tell us we should try to praise others often. C．To tell us not to give praise to our friends often. D．To advise us to learn from the checkout girl. 主题04 人与自我-个人经历 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·重庆南川·期末） ①Life is often compared to a journey. It’s full of unexpected things. During this journey, we learn valuable lessons, make new friends, and discover more about ourselves. ②At the start, life seems simple, like a short walk in the park. We enjoy the company of our family and friends, and everything seems bright and full of possibilities. However, as we progress, the journey becomes more challenging. We face difficulties at school, in our relationships, and in our personal lives. These difficulties test us, pushing us. Don’t worry, just treat the journey of life calmly and patiently, wait for the flowers to bloom (绽放) and fall, and enjoy the clouds. The beauty of peace of mind is even more wonderful. A calm heart is like a clear blue sky without dark clouds and like the light on green leaves, giving us hope and courage. ③This journey is also beautiful. It’s filled with moments of joy, love, and success. Every achievement, no matter how small, makes us stronger and more confident. ④Moreover, the people we meet along the way play an important role in shaping our lives. They teach us, support us, and sometimes, challenge us to become better. ⑤In the end, life is a journey of self-discovery. It’s about finding our place in the world, understanding our strengths and weaknesses, and learning to face the uncertainties. Just like in a travel adventure (冒险) we should enjoy the ride, cherish (珍惜) the memories, and appreciate every step of the way. So, let’s enjoy the journey of life, with all its ups and downs, and make the most of this wonderful ride. 1．According to this passage, what is a calm heart like? A．The blue sky. B．The dark clouds. C．The beautiful flowers. D．The green leaves. 2．Which of the following is TRUE? A．The journey of life is full of challenges at first. B．As we progress, the journey of life will be easier. C．The small achievements in our life are meaningless. D．Enjoy the journey of life no matter what we meet. 3．What is the structure (结构) of this passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What does the writer want to tell us? A．You can’t change the past but you can improve the future. B．Enjoy the scenery during the journey, not just the goal. C．It’s never too old to learn and never too late to change. D．A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 主题05 人与社会-科技文化 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·重庆奉节·期末） ①It is widely known that China has the most advanced (先进的) high-speed railway network in the world. Now, the country is breaking its own speed record with CR450. ②CR450 can travel at 400 kilometers per hour on average, with a top speed hitting 453km/h. Before this, the fastest high-speed train operating in a rail network in the world is China’s CR400, which runs at 350km/h on average. ③Once put into use, for example, the CR450 will shorten the travel time from Beijing to Shanghai to just about two and a half hours, which takes at least four and a half hours at the moment. ④“The key is not to make the train run fast but to have it brake (刹车) accurately (精准地) and steadily (平稳地),” Zhao Hongwei of the China Academy of Railway Sciences told CCTV News. The standard is that the CR450 should have the same brake distance as the CR400, which is 6,500 meters, even though it travels a lot faster. It can also start braking more quickly, taking just 1.7 seconds compared with the 2.3 seconds needed for the CR400. ⑤The engineers did lots of tests with the brakes to make the system better. In the tests, the brake disc (制动盘) got really hot, reaching temperatures of up to 700℃. Its color changed from black to red. The changes were then recorded. All the data were saved in a smart system to make a digital model of the brake system for calculations (计算). ⑥Apart from having a better braking system, the CR450 has the same noise level as theCR400. Moreover, it is 12 percent lighter and 20 percent less energy-consuming (能量消耗), according to CCTV News. With all its advantages, people are getting excited about the train’s debut, which is planned to be on show this year. 1．According to Zhao Hongwei, what is “the key” to CR450? A．Increasing the train’s speed. B．Making it brake accurately and steadily. C．Having shorter braking distance. D．Starting to brake in a shorter time. 2．What do the underlined word “debut” mean in the last Paragraph? A．发表 B．销售 C．亮相 D．试验 3．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A．How engineers cooled down the brake disc in a test. B．What engineers did to improve the brake system. C．How a digital model was used for calculations. D．What differences the CR400 and CR450 have in their brake systems. 4．Which of the following is the structure of the passage? (①= Paragraph 1, ②= Paragraph 2…) A． B． C． D． Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·重庆奉节·期末） Nowadays, AI technology has made great progress in changing our lives in different ways. In July, 2021, an AI restaurant covering 133 square meters was born in Hongqiao Community in Shanghai. Compared with the traditional restaurant, the biggest difference is that the AI restaurant has no staffs (员工). Robots serve the customers. As robots are electric machines and don’t get tired, they provide the restaurant a better working ability. According to the data, it can serve both Chinese food and western food for more than 1000 dishes. Besides, a robot can work as any kinds of staffs (waiter or cook) in the restaurant. It increases the serving efficiency (效率) of the AI restaurant. What’s more, the AI restaurant opens 24 hours and provides all kinds of services including self-service and online booking service at a lower price. For example, at self-service area, the meat only costs you 10 yuan per kilo and vegetables only cost you 2 yuan per kilo. So, you can start a meal anytime you want at a much lower price than the traditional restaurant. We believe that the AI restaurant will make a revolution (革命) in the dining field.

However, most products at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmers markets are a good choice to avoid long journeys, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) can make the trip even shorter. BMF is an indoor garden ecosystem. It can be set up for a family. Additionally (另外), it could serve a larger group such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The design requires little effort to achieve a weekly supply of fresh greens. In fact, it’s a farm that depends on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF enables remote monitoring (远程监控). Also, there is an app that provides growing data (数据) in real time. Because the system is smart, it uses less water than would be required to grow the plants. Rather than watering rows of soil (土壤), the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After the plants grow up, users simply replace the plants to get the next growth cycle started. Moreover, having such a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero pollution about transporting from soil to table. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides (农药) and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the environment. BMF workers pay attention to environmental protection in their daily lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and avoiding single-use plastic. “We have been working on reducing waste, carbon (碳), and chemicals in the environment.” said a BMF official. 1．What can be learned about BMF? A．It provides all kinds of food. B．It requires day-to-day care. C．It makes the farm-to-table trip shorter. D．It depends on farmer’s markets. 2．What information does the convenient app offer?

Passage 8 （24-25九年级上·重庆万州·期末） ①More researchers are turning to artificial intelligence to monitor the environment and save endangered creatures. Unlike traditional methods that can damage the environment or require much time and physical work, AI has the ability to quickly and effectively deal with a large amount of data. ②Creatures are disappearing at a speed thousands of times faster than that millions of years ago, with one million creatures endangered. The United Nations set a goal in 2020 to guard at least 30% of Earth’s land and oceans by the end of 2030. “AI is imperfect but could make important discoveries faster and earlier,” says Nicolas Miailhe, founder of the Future Society, an organization that aims to better manage AI. “We need skilled humans to design AI models and check and collect data.” ③A type of AI model called a convolutional neural network (CNN) has been developed to recognize (识别) bird sounds. The CNN is able to pick out 75 kinds of the birds. “Our results show that AI has the ability to recognize birds in the wild from sound,” says Muller, the team leader. “All that is needed now is more training data collected by humans.” ④Besides monitoring creatures in real time, AI can be used to model the impacts of human activities on the environment and rebuild historical changes. Researchers have used AI to discover how a century’s environmental damage in a river has led to creature loss. ⑤Although human activities have resulted in creature loss in rivers and lakes, little is known about which activities have the largest impact, “AI will do soon,” says Luisa Orsini, a researcher from the University of Birmingham. 1．Which of the following is TRUE about AI used in monitoring the environment?

Passage 10 （24-25九年级上·重庆·期末） ① Scammers (诈骗犯) are becoming a bigger danger, especially for the old. A study in the UK found that 67% of people over 75 faced at least one scam try in six months, and most of these were phone scams. To solve the problem, a company named Virgin Media O2 has found an unusual solution: Daisy. ②Who is Daisy? In fact, Daisy is not a real person. She is an AI chatbot. Daisy acts like an ordinary grandmother. She loves chatting and says she’s not good with technology. Or, at least, that’s what she might tell people on the phone. She calls herself “your worst nightmare (噩梦)” not to you, but to phone scammers. ③ So how does Daisy work? All she does every day is to talk to phone scammers and waste their time. She is trained to chat with scammers and keep them on the phone so they can’t scam others. Virgin Media O2 worked with Jim Browning, a YouTuber (油管博主) who acts as a victim (诈骗受害者) to waste scammers’ time. Together, they made Daisy very believable. ④ Daisy has real conversations with scammers. Some of these chats last nearly an hour! She talks about her cat, her dog, and her family. Sometimes, she even gives the scammers what they want-bank details. But of course, they’re not real. ⑤Virgin Media O2 says Daisy has already wasted “hundreds of hours” of scammers’ time. This helps protect other people, especially grandparents, from being scammed. Daisy also teaches an important lesson: you can’t always trust the person you’re speaking to on the phone. So, be careful and don’t share personal information. By keeping scammers busy, Daisy helps make the world a little safer for everyone. 1．Why does Daisy call herself the worst nightmare for the scammers? A．Because she wastes scammers’ time to protect others. B．Because she reports scammers to the police. C．Because she scares scammers with her voice.

Laura, a robot in the National Library in Spain, is copying the old books and writings in its collection. Aurora, a headless dog-sized robot used to keep birds and other animals away at an Alaskan airport. EveR6, another 1.8 meter-tall legless robot, is waving its arms to guide musicians through a performance (表演). Those robots above require artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能). AI is a computer system that can understand languages, make decisions and solve problems. Humans can teach AI skills by using a process called machine learning. Humans give AI information such as books, photos or videos to train it. The more information it studies, the better it can do its job. ▲ . For example, when you watch TV, AI is watching you. It’ll know what your favourite is and suggest similar ones. In hospitals, AI is very good at suggesting treatments and can even invent new medicines. To cut down food waste, some schools introduce (推行) online systems for the students to choose meals ahead of time. In cities, AI is used to watch out for cars that make black smoke. It works together with the police and transportation teams to stop them and keep the air clean. AI can help us fight climate change by finding clever ways to reduce energy use. Some people worry that AI will take away a large number of jobs and also fear that AI could develop out of our control and bring danger to humans. However, humans expect (期待) AI to help achieve more in less time. It is believed that the flying car will be made to offer an easier way out of the morning traffic jam (交通堵塞). Humans imagine AI might even find a way to solve the problems of our energy needs completely.

Passage 14 （24-25九年级上·重庆梁平·期末） When the weather is hot, you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot, but it cannot make the water hot. Though the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth goes up, and then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the air near a lake or an ocean, you feel the cool air when it moves around you. You feel the wind, and the wind makes you cool. Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask. “Why is the ocean full of salt?” Scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cool, it breaks, and rain falls into the cracks (裂缝). The rain then carries the salt into the earth and the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask. “What happens to the salt in the ocean?” The ocean does not get saltier every year. They are not sure about the answer to the question. We have known a lot of things on the earth, but there is still a long way to go about the study of our world. 1．What kind of air goes up according to the first paragraph? A．The hot air.

Passage 16 （24-25九年级上·重庆南川·期末） Do you know about the traditional songs of the Yangtze River? Have you ever heard the powerful voices of the boatmen known as “Chuanjiang Haozi”? It is a special form of folk singing that developed along the Chuanjiang River. The Chuanjiang River, a part of the Yangtze River in Sichuan Province and Chongqing, is known for its danger. When the boats come to the dangerous or the shallow (浅的) part, the boatmen have to work together to pull the boats. There is no doubt that it’s hard work as the boats are really heavy and there is no road for boatmen to walk so they have to walk on the rocks or even dangerous cliff (悬崖). To make the work easier and to keep everyone moving together, the boatmen developed “Chuanjiang Haozi”. The singing of the “Chuanjiang Haozi” is usually simple but strong. The lyrics (歌词) are about the boatmen’s daily life, including the working places, hard work, and hopes of the workers. When the boatmen sing it together, their voices are so powerful that they feel the strength of working together as one team. The singing also makes them less tired. The “Chuanjiang Haozi” is not just a song, but a deep connection (联系) between humans and nature, as well as the power of music to bring people together. We should learn from the boatmen to be hardworking and face the difficulties bravely. Nowadays, we don’t see many boats pulled by boatmen on the river because we have machines to help with the boats. But the “Chuanjiang Haozi” is still an important part of Chinese culture.

Many people use it to unlock (解锁) their phones, open doors or pay quickly. Now, people can even make this happen with masks (口罩) on their faces. ②How? It’s all about your eyes. ③Marios Savvides from Carnegie Mellon University, US, studies facial recognition. “As we get older, our faces change shape, but our eyes don’t.” He explained. It stays the same even if we become fatter. As long as there are enough data (数据) from the parts around our eyes, the cameras can know us. ④Tech5 is a facial recognition company. This company’s product studies not only the shape of your face but also your iris (虹膜). Tech5 hopes to leave out all of the face below the nose. ⑤This kind of tool has more uses than just unlocking your phone. It can help find bad people even when they wear masks. Chinese police have used it in places like subway stations and airports. ▲ . It doesn’t work when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost. 1．What latest problem did scientists solve according to paragraph 1? A．Locking phones with facial-recognition technology. B．Protecting people when they are sick. C．Catching bad people with a hat. D．Knowing people even under masks. 2．What can we learn according to Marios Savvides? A．Cameras can always know people by the shape of face. B．The area around our eyes stays the same as time goes by. C．Getting fatter may change the shape of our eyes.

B．But some people think there is a big problem. C．And it has another important usage. D．So this technology is useful and perfect now. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． 主题06 人与社会-健康 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·重庆沙坪坝·期末） ①Laughter is a universal way to show happiness, whether it’s a loud laugh or a quiet giggle. However, your laughter does more than just showing you’re happy—it can also tell others whether you’re laughing with a close friend or just being polite with a stranger. ②A team of scientists, led by Greg Bryant, studied how laughter showed this to us. They collected 48 tapes with different recordings. The recordings included all possible interactions (交流) between friends, strangers, men groups and women groups. ③By analyzing (分析) the tapes, they found laughter between friends had more ups and downs in the waveform, meaning the loudness of sound changed a lot and more dark spots (点) in the spectrogram, showing the strong energy in the voice. This study helped understand how laughter changed in different situations and among different people. ④To see whether people can sense the change of laughter, the researchers played these short recordings to 966 people from 24 different societies. To their surprise, even though there were some cultural differences, the listeners were able to tell if the laughter was between friends or strangers 61% of the time. The scientists also found that the accuracy (准确度) was even higher when it came to recordings of only women laughing. The researchers thought this was probably because women were more likely to express their feelings than men. ⑤Bryant believed that this research showed that people around the world understand laughter in a similar way. Another scientist Carolyn McGettigan summarized, “A laugh among friends is a special sound, no matter where it happens.” 1．Which picture can best describe laughter between friends? A． B． C． D． 2．What can we know about Greg Bryant’s research? A．Bryant finished this research on his own. B．966 people were called in to record their laughter. C．The results surprised the researchers in Bryant’s team. D．Women are more likely to hide their feelings than men. 3．Below is a flow chart showing how Bryant got the result that people around the world understand laughter in a similar way. Which word can we choose to finish the chart? A．Test B．Show C．Discuss D．Question 4．What’s the best title of this passage? A．The Recording Process of Laughter Recordings. B．Laughter-More Than Just an Expression of Joy. C．What is the relationship between gender and laughter? D．Which is a universal way to show happiness-laugh or giggle? Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·重庆大渡口·期末） ①Take a moment to pay attention to your body. Notice your breathing—is it fast, slow, or somewhere in between? Are your thoughts racing, or are you focused on what you are reading? These feelings are signals from your body and brain, showing how you feel right now. ②So, where do feelings come from? According to Ekta Hattangady, a counselor, feelings start in our brains but also show up in our bodies. For example, when we are happy, we smile. If we are surprised, we might feel tightness in our throat or chest. When we are scared, our breathing can become quick and shallow. ③Understanding why feelings are important and necessary. Hattangady explains that emotions (情感) give us signs about what we need. For example, feeling angry might mean something is unfair and needs to be fixed. If you feel sad, it could mean you need comfort or time to fix. Recognizing and naming your feelings is called emotional awareness (意识), which is an important part of growing up. This awareness helps you talk about your feelings and ask for help when needed. ④Emotions can be seen as messengers. In the movie “Inside Out”,  the characters in 13-year-old Riley’s mind are the signs of her feelings. As Riley faces big changes, these feelings take charge. Joy, fear, and sadness all play important roles when she starts a new school and worries about losing friends. Riley learns that all feelings are normal and have important jobs in our lives. ⑤To build emotional awareness, try to notice how you feel throughout your day. Hattangady suggests that feelings come and go. By learning to notice them without letting them control you, we can stay calm and make better choices. ⑥In a word, recognizing and understanding our feelings is important for our emotional health. By paying attention to our feelings, we can better deal with our emotions and reply to our needs. 1．Why is it important to recognize our feelings? A．Because it makes us feel much happier. B．Because it allows us to understand our needs. C．Because it helps us to avoid many problems. D．Because it helps us pay no attention to our emotions. 2．How does the writer explain the idea of emotional awareness? A．By providing examples from movies B．By explaining the effects of emotions C．By sharing personal experiences D．By listing different types of feelings 3．Which of the following best matches the information in the passage? A．All feelings are negative and harmful. B．Emotional awareness is only for children. C．Emotions can guide us in making choices. D．Feelings are unimportant and should be ignored. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·重庆万州·期末） 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. If 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．The underlined word “dual-tasking” probably means “________” in the passage. A．一心二用 B．心平气和 C．专心致志 D．心血来潮 3．According to the writer, our brain is like a ________. A．book B．light C．train D．computer 4．What will be most probably talked about next? A．The ways to have a healthy body. B．The ways to make your brain stronger. C．The ways to communicate with others. D．The ways to deal with forgetting things. 主题07 人与自然-动植物 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·重庆大足·期末） China and Western countries have something different in cultures about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, we have the same idea—pigs are ugly, lazy and stupid. Just look at some Chinese sayings such as “Boiling a dead pig” and “A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig”. And in English, there are some expressions like “Eating like a pig” and “Pigs might fly”. None of them are complimentary (赞美的). However, pigs have some good qualities. They are even as smart as dogs and elephants. They have good memories. And they know whether people treat them well or not. A UK cartoon, Peppa Pig is a most popular cartoon. The four members in the pig family teach children from all around the world about love, friendship and the value of family. And a Chinese cartoon movie, The Adventures of McDull, is also very famous. In the cartoon, the little pig, McDull, has a heart of gold and always works hard towards his dreams. Most people want quick success, but McDull is slow and patient, and not afraid of failing again and again. Maybe when we talk about pigs next time, we should think of their good qualities. 1．China and Western countries have ________ in cultures according to the passage. A．the same idea of pigs B．different ideas of pigs C．the same idea of all the animals D．different ideas of all the animals 2．We can learn that ________ from the third passage. A．pigs have bad memories B．pigs are our friends C．pigs are as clever as dogs and elephants D．pigs don’t know who treats them well 3．Which statement is Not true about McDull? A．He has a heart of gold. B．He works hard towards his dreams. C．He is not afraid of failing again and again. D．He teaches children about love and friendship. 4．The writer gives two examples of cartoons in the passage to show ________. A．the two cartoons are well-known B．pigs are friendly to people C．both Chinese and English children like pigs D．pigs have good qualities Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·重庆沙坪坝·期末） ①All living things need energy and animals get it from their food. But do you know how energy is transferred among living things? ②Animals get energy in different ways. Plants, known as producers, get their energy from sunshine.Animals must either eat plants or other animals to live. For example, snails and insects like grasshoppers feed on plants to get the energy they need. In turn, these animals can be the food of bigger animals, like birds or frogs. But they are not the final bosses but foxes. ③When they get energy from other living things, they will also get some harmful substances (有害物质) from one to another. That means the higher the living things are in a food chain (食物链), the larger amount of harmful substances they will get. ④In a food chain, animals that consume plants as their main food are called primary consumers such as deer, grasshoppers, and snails. In most food chains, primary consumers become food of secondary consumers. For example, a small fish can eat algae (藻类) and then be eaten by a bigger fish. Tertiary consumers are the third level in a food chain, like snakes or sea lions. Energy is passed at each stage of the food chain until it reaches the top predators, like lions or sharks. ⑤Food chains are important for a healthy environment. If one part of the food chain is changed, it can cause problems for the whole chain. For example, insects are very important for frogs. Studies show that the number of insects has decreased by about 40% in the past 30 years due to overuse of pesticide. Without enough insects, frogs will have less food to eat, and the number of their population will drop. This can cause a decrease in the snake population, as snakes depend on frogs for food. Finally, eagles, which eat snakes, may also see a drop in their numbers. ⑥In conclusion, each part of the food chains plays an important role. Let’s work together to protect the balance of nature and ensure a healthy planet for all living things. 1．According to the passage, what are the kinds of living things in Figure 1? A． B． C． D． 2．Which underlined word shares the same meaning with “consume” in paragraph④? A．She was consumed with regret all the time. B．The house was quickly consumed by the fire. C．He consumed a large bowl of soup for lunch. D．She consumes time watching TV every evening. 3．Which of the following ways is NOT used by the writer to develop his idea? A．Giving examples. B．Explaining reasons. C．Listing numbers. D．Analyzing similarities and differences. 4．What can you infer from the passage? A．Top predators would like to eat all the living things in the whole food chain. B．The change of one part of a food chain can cause problems to the whole chain. C．Secondary consumers play a more important role in food chains than tertiary ones. D．The increase of eagle population may have an influence on the population of frogs. Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·重庆大渡口·期末） Foxes are fascinating animals that belong to the dog family. They are similar to dogs but are slightly larger than most cats. A male fox is called a dog, while a female fox is known as a vixen. Foxes have excellent hearing. They can hear sounds as quiet as a watch ticking from 30 meters away! This is like hearing someone whisper from across a playground. In addition to their great hearing, foxes can run very fast. They can reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour, which is quite impressive. Foxes are carnivores, meaning they mainly eat meat. However, they also enjoy berries from bushes and will often search through rubbish bins for leftovers. Baby foxes, called kits, drink milk from their mothers before they start eating other foods like worms. Foxes are also known to hide food to eat later. Foxes can be found in various habitats. They live in dens in the countryside with other foxes, but they also make their homes in towns and cities. You might see one if you are out on a dark night. Foxes are mammals, which means they have warm blood and fur. Although they are nocturnal (active at night), they can sometimes be seen during the day. They enjoy sunbathing in warm places. 1．How far can foxes hear sounds? A．30 meters. B．30 kilometers. C．30 miles. D．30 centimeters. 2．What do baby foxes drink before they start eating other foods? A．Water. B．Milk. C．Juice. D．Soup. 3．Where do foxes mainly live? A．Ocean. B．Desert. C．Mountains. D．Countryside and cities. 4．In which part of a magazine can you probably read this passage? A．Art B．Sports C．Animals D．History Passage 4 （24-25九年级上·重庆江津·期末） Scientists once did an interesting study. They put a mother in one place and put her two-year-old child in another place. They communicated through the telephone. Soon, the mother and child were talking to each other. In this science study, the mother and child were dolphins (海豚). Dolphins are interesting animals. Many kinds of dolphins live in large groups. They have many different relationships and need a good communication way. That explains why they need to speak up. ▲ . And dolphins have a special way of talking. When they are in a group, they mainly use different sounds to express purposes. Scientists believe that the dolphins are really talking. However, they don’t exactly know what the dolphins are saying. Recently at Kewalo University in Hawaii, scientists have had some amazing results. The dolphins not only understand the meaning of human words, they also understand the importance of word order. For example, when they were asked to “touch the ball with your tail and then jump it over”, they could perform the actions in the correct order. Dolphins use body language, too. They “tell” something to another dolphin by moving their bodies in a special way. They also use it by opening and closing their mouths quickly. Scientists hope to understand more about the dolphins’ language. They still have a lot to find out about these animals and there are certain to be a few surprises in the future. 1．How does the writer introduce the topic? A．By giving reasons. B．By listing numbers. C．By describing a scene. D．By raising a question. 2．Which sentence can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 3? A．Scientists have known that animals can “talk” with each other. B．Many kinds of animals live in groups. C．Dolphins express purposes by body language. D．People can’t exactly know what the dolphins are saying. 3．What does the word “it” refer to in Paragraph 5? A．Mouth. B．Sound. C．Tail. D．Body language. 4．What can we learn about the language of dolphins? A．It is the same as the human language. B．It includes sounds and body language. C．Scientists have learned it well so far. D．It does not require a word order. Passage 5 （24-25九年级上·重庆合川·期末） The earth is full of plants. Since the moon is so close to our earth, is there any possibility that plants can live in the moon soil? For many years, testing the moon soil has been the scientists’ dream. The chance finally came as the astronauts returned back from the moon, carrying some well protected moon soil to the lab. After knowing what moon soil was made of, scientists also made some fake (仿制的) moon soil from the earth. They planted some seeds in two kinds of soil and took good care of them, waiting to see what would happen. To their surprise, the seeds sprouted (发芽) and began to grow in both groups. But the plants in the real moon soil grew more slowly than those in the fake moon soil. As a result, the moon soil may have something that is not suitable for plants’ growth. In order to solve the problem, choosing the soil from the younger geological (地质的) places on the moon and creating a more suitable growing environment for the plants may be a possible solution. The research not only helps us study the nature of the moon soil, but also provide us with a chance to think about whether it is possible to plant on the moon and live on the moon. No matter how hard it is, we should have confidence in the development of technology and believe good things are around the corner. 1．How does the writer introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A．By asking a question. B．By giving an answer. C．By telling a story. D．By showing an example. 2．What soil was used in this research? A．The moon soil. B．The earth soil. C．The soil made in the lab. D．The moon soil and the fake moon soil. 3．What does the writer tell us in paragraph 5? A．The goal of the research. B．The process of the research. C．The meaning of the research. D．The difficulty of the research. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Scientists can do tests on the moon easily. B．The author is confident about the future study of the moon. C．The author doesn’t think people will move to the moon to live. D．Scientists found no ways to improve the situation. Passage 6 （24-25九年级上·重庆沙坪坝·期末） ①When autumn arrives in the United States and Canada, you can see one of nature’s greatest scenes — the yearly migration of the monarch butterflies (帝王蝶). ②No other butterfly in the world migrates like the orange and black monarchs of North America. They cannot live for long periods in cold weather. For this reason, each autumn around October, the butterflies from Canada travel up to 3.000 kilometers south to spend the winter in warmer locations. Some even fly to the mountains of Mexico. There are so many of them that they almost block out the sky. You can even hear their wings beating. ③It usually takes the butterflies two months to reach the south of Mexico. After spending five months there, they head back north in the spring. But not one butterfly finishes the whole round-trip. They lay eggs along the way and die. Three generations (代) of butterflies will live and die during the spring journey alone. The fourth and final generation of the year is born in early autumn and will reach the north. But the butterflies hardly get to rest before starting the long journey south again to Mexico. ④The most amazing thing about these butterflies is that they return to the very same trees in Mexico that their great-great-grandparents used the winter before. ⑤However, ________. ⑥In 2015, the US Fish and Wildlife Service said that nearly a billion monarchs have disappeared from the overwintering sites (越冬地点) since 1990, reported the Washington Post. ⑦One of the main reasons, experts say, is that farmers have used herbicides (除草剂) on plants that the monarchs’ larvae (幼虫) live and feed on. 1．Which word can replace the underlined word “migration”? A．Birth. B．Travel. C．Death. D．Study. 2．Monarch butterflies fly from ________ to ________ each year. A．America; Mexico B．Canada; Mexico C．America; Canada D．Canada; America 3．Which of the following can be put into the ________? A．the populations of this colorful butterfly have dropped in recent years B．these butterflies can’t remember their grandparents' names and houses C．their colors change during the yearly migration D．farmers in the US don’t like the butterflies at all 4．The structure of this passage may be ________. A． B． C． D． 主题01 人与社会-科技文化 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·重庆巫山·期末） Confucianism (儒家思想) has been followed by Chinese people for more than two thousand years. To help people understand how to behave towards others, Confucianism teaches the Five Constants (五常). These are ren, yi, li, zhi and xin. They are general virtues (美德) around the world. The most important two are ren and li. Ren is the feeling of care and love we should have for others. Confucius explained ren could best be understood as loving others. He is famous for teaching people “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others”. It is quite similar to what is known in the West as the Golden Rule (treat others as you wish to be treated). While the meaning of ren is easy to understand, li is a little harder to express. It can be thought of as duty or even respect. Generally, li is the way we should connect with people in our everyday life. In Confucian writings, discussions about li include the proper way to drink tea and how to remember ancestors (祖先). While ren is mostly about our opinions and feelings, li is about how we express our opinions and feelings towards others and towards the world around us. Perhaps the most well-known Confucian virtue is xin. This is the duty children have to their parents. Xiao means loving, respecting, obeying and taking care of one’s parents in their old age. In Confucianism, xin is important for a harmonious (和谐的) society: Without it, the whole world would fall into a mess. 1．Which are the most important of the Five Constants? A．Ren and yi. B．Li and xin. C．Ren and li. D．Yi and zhi. 2．What is the best Chinese for the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3? A．博学于文，约之以礼。 B．学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。 C．己所不欲，勿施于人。 D．君子和而不同，小人同而不和。 3．Which of the following sentences is True according to the passage? A．Saying “thanks” to the person who helps you is xin. B．The Five Constants are ren, yi, li, zhi and xin. C．Xin is the most important for a harmonious society. D．Confucianism has been followed by Chinese people for two thousand years. 4．What does the passage mainly tell us about Confucianism? A．Its long history. B．Its general virtues. C．Its new challenges. D．Its golden rules. Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·重庆巫山·期末） What will the world of tomorrow be like? Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some problems we have today. New technology may solve old problems, and it may also create new ones. No technology is perfect. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Here are three examples. When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the sky in our own flying cars. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, if too many flying cars are in the air, there will be trouble with traffic control. 3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts (部件), and man-made body parts, like ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive. Finally, people are trying to make a robot suit (套装). This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy things and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident. However, one disadvantage at the moment is the cost. It is easy to imagine a future. We will be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve, we can certainly dream of a world. In this world, technology makes people’s life easier and safer, and it can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking a question. B．By giving a report. C．By giving advice. D．By telling a story. 2．Which one of the following is NOT true? A．If too many flying cars are in the air, there will be problems with traffic control. B．Technology can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today. C．A robot suit costs too much at the moment. D．3D printing won’t change the way we make things. 3．What might the robot suit help people do after an illness or an accident? A．It might help people fly to the sky. B．It might help people walk again. C．It might help people make models. D．It might help people save money. 4．What would be the best structure (结构) of this passage? (Paragraph1=① Paragraph2=② Paragraph3=③ Paragraph4=④ Paragraph5=⑤) A． B． C． D． Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·重庆开州·期末） The seventeenth day in the first month of the year is Kid Inventors’ Day, a day to encourage all the children to think actively and try inventing something new. The holiday commemorates (纪念) the birthday of Benjamin Franklin, and celebrates (赞扬) kid inventors around the world. It also encourages children to be creative when solving problems. Benjamin Franklin was one of the greatest inventors. When he was still a playful child, he invented the precursor (前身) to the swimming flippers (脚蹼) at the age of eleven. In fact, the invention helped the hand instead of the foot. Then how to celebrate the holiday? Here are some suggestions for you to follow if you have children or there are children around you. Get the kids problem-solving toys and games to help them develop thinking skills. Encourage them to search for ideas to solve problems in a new way. If a child has an idea for a new game or something else, parents should help him make his dream come true. Spend some time talking to children about kid inventors, and encourage them to learn from them. Let them know that their idea or invention doesn’t have to be great. Small things can also solve big problems. And young children can also make a difference. 1．Benjamin Franklin invented the precursor to the swimming flippers when he was ________.

Passage 5 （24-25九年级上·重庆江北·期末） ①Scientists from the University of Bonn in Germany wanted to know if fish could do simple math. They tested some fish and trained them by rewarding (奖励) them with food treats, much like training dogs. ②But how did the scientists teach the fish math? They taught the fish to add and subtract (减) by showing them cards with shapes. For example, if they wanted to show the fish how to add, they first showed them a card with four blue shapes on it. Then, they showed the fish two new cards. One had three blue shapes and the other had five. The fish could touch one of the cards. The scientists rewarded them for touching the card with five shapes. Over time, the fish learned to add. They knew to touch the card with more shapes. ③The scientists did the same experiment (实验) with yellow shapes. The fish got a treat if they touched a card with one fewer shape. _________ ④The study found that about half of the fish were able to learn these tasks, though most of them were better at adding. ⑤But why do fish need math? They need to understand the idea of more and less to help them survive (生存). They need to know where there’s more food for them to eat. They may also want to join a larger group to keep safe. For us humans, learning more about what fish can do is important. It might help us respect (尊敬) fish and their abilities more. So, next time you see a fish, remember, it might be smarter than you think. 1．In the experiment, what would happen if the fish did the math correctly? A．They would be set free. B．They would have a rest. C．They would get some food. D．They would be taught more. 2．Which of the following sentences can be put in the ______? A．Sadly, they always failed to do so. B．Again, over time, they learned to subtract. C．Surprisingly, they learned to subtract faster. D．Sometimes, however, they refused to do so. 3．How does understanding math help fish? A．It helps them respect humans. B．It helps them find food and stay safe. C．It brings them more love from humans. D．It makes them cleverer than other living things. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． Passage 6 （24-25九年级上·重庆江北·期末） “Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” It is a popular topic among young people around China these days. Many people are crazy about it so that they take a personality (性格) test named Myers-Briggs test to find out the answer. Many people find the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Test Indicator) useful. It groups people into 16 types, which start with the letter “I” or “E”, such as “ENTJ, INFP” or more. “E” is short for “Extroversion” while “I” is for “Introversion”. After the test, some say, “I’m extroverted. I should go to parties and make friends,” while others think, “I’m introverted. I prefer working alone. Maybe I’ll be a writer someday.” They believe knowing their type can help them make quicker choices about activities, careers, and life paths. However, there are some problems with the test. Some get different results when they retake it, and some find it hard to answer certain questions. For example, “I like watching TV alone, but I also enjoy hanging out with friends. Am I an ‘I’ or ‘E’?” When you take a personality test, you may think, “Oh, that’s me.” That’s because the descriptions are generic. They can be used to describe many people. Research has found that over 50% of people got a different score when they retook the MBTI just 5 weeks later. Personalities can change with time. You may be introverted now but become extroverted when you get older. Or, you can be both an “T” and an “E”. Don’t label (贴标签) yourself! Studies have also shown that the test is not real at telling people’s success in different jobs. So, don’t take it too seriously. 1．What’s the main purpose of doing the MBTI test? A．To test a hot and special topic. B．To help get different opinions. C．To help make more friends. D．To test your personality type. 2．According to the test in Para.2, what may you choose to do if you’re an “E” person? A．I may like reading books in the library on vacation. B．I may like watching movies with a pet dog on Friday night. C．I may like cooking simple meals at home alone on weekends. D．I may like celebrating different festivals with different people. 3．What does the underlined word “generic” probably mean? A．Common. B．Special. C．Simple. D．Difficult. 4．What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A．What MBTI is. B．Whether MBTI is useful. C．How people use MBTI. D．How many people use MBTI.

The following two poems talk about this quality. Bamboo in the Rock By Zheng Xie Upright stands the bamboo amid green mountains steep, Its toothlike root in broken rock is planted deep. It’s strong and firm (坚固的) though struck and beaten without rest, Careless of the wind from north or south, east or west. If By Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming (指责) it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wisely. … Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son! In Zheng’s poem, we can see that bamboo is full of life and never gives up in hard times. Though this poem may seem to be about bamboo, its message is that people should have the same strength. It shows that perseverance does matter. Kipling calls on people to stay strong in failure or times of trouble and to deal with them in a calm (平静的) way. 1．What can we learn from both poems? A．Those who believe in themselves are always lucky. B．When we are facing difficulties, we should keep strong. C．No matter what happens, everyone should stay happy. D．Everyone will go through lots of ups and downs. 2．The underlined word “perseverance” means “______”. A．持之以恒 B．光明磊落 C．助人为乐 D．忠心耿耿 3．What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to? A．Zheng Xie and Kipling B．strength and perseverance C．Kipling’s son D．failure or times of trouble 4．What’s the tone (语气) of the poem written by Rudyard Kipling? A．Angry. B．Serious. C．Encouraging. D．Humorous. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了两首关于在困难时期保持坚强的诗歌，一首是中国诗人郑燮的《竹石》，另一首是英国诗人吉卜林的《如果》。两首诗都以不同方式表达了在逆境中保持坚强的重要性，并强调了坚持不懈的价值。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Staying strong during hard times is a beautiful quality (品质) of human beings. The following two poems talk about this quality.”可知，从这两首诗中我们可以学到当我们遇到困难时，我们应该坚强。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“In Zheng’s poem, we can see that bamboo is full of life and never gives up in hard times. Though this poem may seem to be about bamboo, its message is that people should have the same strength.”以及后文“It shows that perseverance does matter.”可知，郑燮的诗虽然似乎是关于竹子的，但它的寓意是人们应该有同样的力量，竹子在困难时期从不放弃，这说明坚持不懈很重要，故画线词的意思是“持之以恒”。故选A。 3．代词指代题。根据画线词上文“Kipling calls on people to stay strong in failure or times of trouble and to deal with them in a calm (平静的) way.”可知，吉卜林呼吁人们在失败或遇到困难时保持坚强，并以平静的方式应对它们，所以画线词指代上文提到的“failure or times of trouble”。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“If you can keep your head when all about you”、“If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,”、“And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!”以及最后一段“Kipling calls on people to stay strong in failure or times of trouble and to deal with them in a calm (平静的) way.”可知，吉卜林的诗呼吁人们在失败或遇到困难时保持坚强，并以平静的方式应对，这是鼓励的语气。故选C。 主题02 人与自我-生活策略 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·重庆铜梁·期末） Taking on family responsibility (责任) can show our true love and care for our family members.

A boy is reading a book carefully in his seat in the subway while many other people are checking their phones. To encourage reading, a Chinese company started a book-sharing activity. They put over 10,000 books around the underground, in taxis and on planes in Beijing. Since the activity started, it has earned the support of many people, even some popular celebrities (名人). The book-sharing activity, however, drew much more criticism (批评) than praise because some books were left untouched, or taken away by cleaners. People also complained that they couldn’t reach the books-the underground was too crowded. ________ “I think most people may end up taking selfies (自拍) when they pick up the books and posting on WeChat Moments. After that, they will just bring the books back home and put them on their bookshelves,” wrote one Weibo user. Some pointed out that some celebrities who supported the activity didn’t seem to be reading much. They just wanted to draw others’ attention. Isn’t it embarrassing that the activity is supported by celebrities who don’t read a lot? “The book-sharing activity is not at all a bad thing. Over the years, everybody has been busy with work. They don’t have time for reading,” said a famous Chinese writer. “However, it doesn’t mean we should do nothing to encourage reading.” 1．How does the writer introduce the topic in Paragraph 1?

After that, they will just bring the books back home and put them on their bookshelves”可知，后文提到了多数人可能会在拿起书并在微信朋友圈上晒出自己的照片，之后，他们就会把书带回家，放在书架上，因此推测，活动对鼓励阅读作用不大，故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, it doesn’t mean we should do nothing to encourage reading.”可知，这并不意味着我们不应该鼓励阅读，即我们不应放弃鼓励阅读，故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“However, it doesn’t mean we should do nothing to encourage reading.”可知，文章旨在鼓励人们坚持阅读，故选C。 Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·重庆南川·期末） A．B． C． D． Last year, Chongqing had a very long and hot summer.

Until this day, people’s build is still a hot topic. ②Now some girls don’t feel confident if they have a pear-shaped build, with hips that are wider than the bust and shoulders. Many pear-shaped girls try to hide their hips and legs under large dresses and pants. ③However, a recent study suggested that pear-shaped people are the ones who won the genetic lottery (基因彩票)! ④The study by the US National Library of Medicine found that the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR, 腰臀比) shows the strongest relationship with death. Traditionally, the BMI (体重指数) has been considered the best way to judge whether a person is healthy or not. However, this study challenges this conclusion. After surveying nearly 40,000 people, scientists found no matter what a person’s BMI is, the larger his WHR is, the easier he will die. Instead of focusing on how much fat a person has, scientists suggest people should focus more on where the fat is in a person’s body. ⑤WHR, as its name suggests, compares your waist to your hip. A larger waist means morecentral fat, which could mean more visceral fat (内脏脂肪). More visceral fat increases the risk of illnesses. That’s why people with a pear-shaped body are always healthier than others. According to the World Health Organization, a healthy WHR is less than 0.85 for women and less than 0.9 for men. ⑥Researchers from Johns Hopkins University suggested we should focus more on health instead of the build. As middle school students, since we are growing, it’s pretty common to put on some weight and get bigger. We can’t control our natural body types, but we can control our health. 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．Small waist. B．Plumpness. C．The good build. D．Pear-shaped body. 2．Which of the following should girls focus more on according to the passage? A．They should try to keep their BMI as low as possible to get good health. B．They should keep their WHR within the healthy limit of less than 0.85. C．They only need to make their waists as small as possible to look pretty. D．They should focus on cutting down both BMI and WHR to the lowest. 3．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A．①②/③/④/⑤⑥ B．①/②/③④/⑤⑥ C．①②/③/④⑤/⑥ D．①/②/③④⑤/⑥ 4．What may happen according to the passage? A．Pear-shaped girls will stop wearing large clothes. B．Doctors won’t use BMI to check people’s health. C．People will care more about WHR for health. D．Schools will teach more about body shapes. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了“身材”这一热门话题，涉及到“腰臀比”和“体重指数”等概念。 1．词句猜测题。根据“while in the Tang Dynasty people admired plumpness, considering it a symbol of beauty.”可知，此处代词指代前面的“圆润”。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“According to the World Health Organization, a healthy WHR is less than 0.85 for women”可知，女性应该把腰臀比控制在少于0.85的健康线以内。故选B。 3．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，文章第一段导入身材这一话题；第二段介绍一些女孩误以为梨形身材不好；第三、四、五段则解开第二段的误解；第六段是全篇文章的总结和结论。故选D。 4．推理判断题。文章第一、二段介绍一些女孩误以为腰臀比低的梨形身材不好，第三、四、五段则说明腰臀比低是健康的标准，需要给以重视，所以通过这篇文章，人们为了健康会更在意腰臀比。故选C。 Passage 7 （24-25九年级上·重庆巴南·期末） ①How many students in your class wear glasses? Probably a lot. To treat nearsightedness (近视), many people choose to do surgery (手术). Many people believe eye surgery can solve the problem forever, but that may not be true. ②What causes nearsightedness and how can the surgeries help? ③People with nearsightedness can’t see things correctly because their eyes can’t focus light correctly. Normally, when we see things, light comes into our eyes and focuses on the retina (视网膜), which is the part at the back of the eye. But for those with nearsightedness, light focuses in front of the retina in their eyes. As a result, things far away seem unclear but close things seem clear. ④Now the treatments fall into two main types. One is laser eye surgery (激光手术), the other is intraocular lens implants (IOLs). The IOLs method is often used on patients with serious nearsightedness. ⑤“After the surgery, I can see very clearly. Life is more convenient without having to wear glasses,” said Xu Jiayi, a 19-year-old girl, who had surgery five months ago. “However, it hurt a lot after the surgery. And I need to take medicine for at least three months. These medicines help prevent dry eye and other eye problems.” ⑥However, if you don’t look after your eye health, nearsightedness may return after the surgery. “After looking at the computer all day at work and then using my phone, things start to look unclear to me again,” said Du Anni, 32, who had the surgery nine years ago. She also mentioned one should go to the doctors to check if your eyes are OK every year. ⑦In a word, the surgery just lets you ‘take off our glasses’, it can not solve the problem of nearsightedness completely.

There are some ways that will work and make a difference to your study. Create a study space. It’s good for you if you have a desk for studying. Make sure your space has good light and take away anything that might break your attention. Place the things you need on the desk, like pens, notebooks and dictionaries. So you can use them whenever you want. What’s more, ask the people around you not to influence you while you’re learning. Take a 10 to 15-minute break every hour when you study. You want to make full use of your time, so you might think having a break is a bad idea. However, spending long time on your study can make you feel exhausted. You’ll be full of energy after a rest. Use your breaks for something that cheers you up, like getting a snack or going for a short walk. But remember that don’t turn on the TV or play computer games. Make a link between what you learn and your real life. Sometimes you might think what you’re learning in class has nothing to do with your real life, but that’s usually not true. You can find links between them. And those can help you work out the problems in your real life. For example, when your father wants to paint the walls, maybe you can use math to calculate (计算) the area of them. 1．Which of the following might show you have a good study space? A．You don’t have a desk for studying. B．You study in a quiet room with good light. C．There are many snacks and toys on your desk. D．Many people are talking in your room. 2．What does the underlined word “exhausted” in the third paragraph mean? A．Bored. B．Relaxed. C．Tired. D．Excited. 3．Which of the following is talking about the link between what you learn and your life? A．You should create a study space. B．You should take a 10 to 15-minute break every hour when you study. C．You should get a snack or go for a short walk. D．You can use the knowledge of geography to know the change of weather. 4．What could be the best title for the text? A．The Meaning of Studying B．The Skills of Studying C．The Importance of Studying D．The Purpose of Studying 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了三种学习技巧。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Make sure your space has good light”和“ask the people around you not to influence you while you’re learning.”可知确保你的空间有良好的光线，在你学习时，不要让周围的人影响你是良好的学习环境。选项B“在光线充足的安静房间里学习”符合，故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“spending long time on your study can make you feel exhausted. You’ll be full of energy after a rest. ”可知长时间学习会让你感到疲惫不堪。休息之后，你会精力充沛。由此可猜测“exhausted”意为“疲惫不堪的”，选项C“疲惫的”符合，故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“You can find links between them...calculate (计算) the area of them.”可知你可以找到学习和实际生活之间的联系。这些联系可以帮助你解决现实生活中的问题。例如，当你的父亲想要粉刷墙壁时，也许你可以用数学来计算墙壁的面积。由此推断，选项D“你可以利用地理知识来了解天气的变化。”便是用知识解决生活中的问题。故选D。 4．最佳标题题。根据第一段“Being good at studying is a skill that anyone can learn. There are some ways that will work and make a difference to your study.”可知本文主要介绍了一些对你的学习起到作用的方法，使你的学习与众不同。选项B“学习的技巧”符合，故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·重庆合川·期末） ①With the development of science and technology, more and more kids are using audio books (有声书). A large number of experts say that audio books can help “readers” turn what they hear into written words—and may even encourage them to pick up a pen to write stories themselves. ②“Audio books have an immersive (沉浸式的) quality that brings stories to life,” said Leanne Cartwright, one of the experts. “When children listen to books, they use their imagination to meet different characters. Audio books lead kids to hear more difficult language and grammar than they hear in daily conversation.” ③Listening to audio books can even lead children to write themselves. “A real benefit (好处) of audio books is that children can use what they hear to improve their own writing,” Dr. Adonis said. “They can move their writing on from some simple words and sentences to really exciting ways of showing big ideas.” ④“If a child is having trouble learning the skill of reading, it can become a real obstacle to his or her development of creativity and the ability to tell stories,” Dr. Adonis added. “In such a difficult situation, an audio book is really helpful. While listening to them, children are still learning about how a story is organized. They are listening to descriptions and understanding dialogue and interpreting metaphors (解释隐喻). These great tools help them tell their own stories.” ⑤Audio books are influencing children in a great way. So let’s welcome audio books to help them more and make their life more exciting. 1．What does Leanne mean by mentioning the immersive quality of audio books? A．Audio books are only suitable for children with good hearing. B．Audio books are more expensive than traditional books. C．Audio books can only be listened to in a quiet environment. D．Audio books make children feel like they are part of the story. 2．The underlined word “obstacle” in Paragraph 4 has a similar meaning to _________. A．protection B．difficulty C．medicine D．success 3．The writer’s purpose of writing this passage is to _________. A．show the relationship between reading and writing B．encourage children to listen to more audio books C．tell differences between paper books and audio books D．show the influence of the development of technology 4．How is the passage organized? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了有声书对孩子们阅读和写作的帮助。 1．推理判断题。根据“When children listen to books, they use their imagination to meet different characters.”可知，Leanne Cartwright认为当孩子们听书的时候，他们会运用他们的想象力去遇见不同的人物，即有声书可以使孩子们身临其境，仿佛置身于故事里，D项符合。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“If a child is having trouble learning the skill of reading”并结合选项可知，如果一个孩子在学习阅读技能方面有困难，那么这会对孩子发展创造力和讲故事能力造成障碍，所以划线部分的含义是“障碍”，B项符合。故选B。 3．主旨大意题。根据“Audio books are influencing children in a great way. So let’s welcome audio books to help them more and make their life more exciting.”可知，有声书对孩子们影响很大，所以作者鼓励孩子们多读有声书。故选B。 4．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段主要讲述越来越多的孩子们在使用有声书，许多专家认为有声书对孩子们有好处；第二段到第四段主要是专家们介绍有声书对孩子们有哪些好处；最后一段总结全文，作者鼓励孩子们多读有声书，所以A项符合。故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·重庆潼南·期末） ①Do you know the word “migrate”? ②“Migrate” is usually used to talk about certain animals such as birds and fish. When animals migrate, they travel a long way from one part of the world to another according to the season. Many animals migrate—they do this often at the same time and to the same place each year. They move to places where conditions are better—where the weather is warmer, where there is more food and water, or where their young will be safer. ③People also migrate. When people migrate, they go to live in another area or country, especially in order to find work. In England, when people leave their home country in order to live in another country, we use the word “emigrate” instead of “migrate”. From “migrate” and “emigrate” come the words “migration” and “emigration”. However, if people move from their home country to another to live there evermore (永久地), the word changes from “emigrate” to “immigrate” in the English language. Then the word “immigration” is born. ④Isn’t word-making of the English language interesting? And this process of finding out the relationships between words and learning them in a group or groups can be a way for you to learn the language. 1．Which situation can match the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．Snakes move into holes to sleep in winter. B．Fish swim to clean waters because of pollution. C．Butterflies in North America fly south to stay away from the cold. D．Birds fly very far away to find food and return to give it to their babies. 2．According to the text, if people ________, they leave their home country to live in another forever. A．migrate B．immigrate C．emigrate D．travel 3．What does the writer probably do? A．A language learner. B．An animal keeper. C．An immigration officer. D．An editor. 4．Which of the following is the correct structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph) A．①②/③④ B．①/②③④ C．①/②/③④ D．①/②③/④ 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文由动物迁徙引出了英语的构词，告诉我们找出单词之间的关系并在一个或多个小组中学习它们也可以是学习语言的一种方式。 1．推理判断题。根据文中第二段“When animals migrate, they travel a long way from one part of the world to another according to the season. Many animals migrate…or where their young will be safer.”可知，本段讲述的是动物随季节变化而迁徙，选项C“北美洲的蝴蝶飞往南方以躲避寒冷”与本段的主要意思匹配。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文中“However, if people move from their home country to another to live there evermore (永久地), the word changes from ‘emigrate’ to ‘immigrate’ in the English language. Then the word ‘immigration’ is born.”可知，如果人们离开自己的祖国永远生活在另一个国家，可以使用单词“Immigrate”。故选B。 3．推理判断题。本文由动物迁徙引出了英语的造词，告诉我们找出单词之间的关系并在一个或多个小组中学习它们也可以是学习语言的一种方式，由此推断作者是一个语言学习者，故选A。 4．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段通过提问引入话题；第二、三段介绍emigrate和immigrate两个词在英语中的不同用法；第四段归纳通过学习词汇之间的关系来学习英语是否是一种有效的方法。故文章的篇章结构应是①/②③/④。故选D。 Passage 4 （24-25九年级上·重庆巴南·期末） How often do you remember to tell people how much you like, admire (钦佩) or appreciate them? For many people, it’s not often enough. There are several reasons why we don’t let others know about our positive feelings towards them. I’ve heard excuses like, “They don’t need to hear me say that— they already know,” and “I do admire her, but I am too uncomfortable to say anything.” But when I ask someone if he enjoys being praised, the answer nine times out of ten is “I love it.” Whether our reason for not giving praise is not knowing what to say, feeling that other people already know their strengths and don’t need to be told, or simply not being in the habit of doing it, it’s time for a change. Many people spend their whole lifetime wishing that other people would acknowledge (承认) them. They feel this especially about their parents, children and friends. Even praise from strangers makes them feel good. Letting someone know the praise also makes the person offering it feel good. It’s an act of kindness. The other day, I was in a shop and saw something unimaginable. The checkout girl had just been scolded (责骂) by an angry customer— clearly without a good cause. But the girl controlled the anger by staying calm. When it was my turn to pay, I said to her, “________” She looked at me right in the eye and said, “Thank you, Sir. Do you know you are the first person ever to praise me in this shop?” It took less than two seconds to let her know, but it was a highlight (最精彩的部分) of her day, and of mine. 1．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A．Ways to praise others. B．Ways to make excuses for praise. C．Excuses for praising others. D．Reasons for not giving praise. 2．What can we learn from the passage? A．Most people know others admire them. B．Most people don’t want to know about others. C．Most people love getting praise from others. D．Most people enjoy giving others praise. 3．Which of the following sentence can be put in ________ in the passage? A．I’m so impressed by the way you treated that customer. B．I think you had better answer the customer’s questions. C．How did you control your anger? D．You shouldn’t treat the customer that way. 4．What’s the purpose of the writer in writing the passage? A．To describe some reasons for not giving praise. B．To tell us we should try to praise others often. C．To tell us not to give praise to our friends often. D．To advise us to learn from the checkout girl. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍夸奖别人的重要性。 1．主旨大意题。根据“There are several reasons why we don’t let others know about our positive feelings towards them.”可知本段主要介绍我们不想让别人知道我们对他们的积极的感受的原因。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“But when I ask someone if he enjoys being praised, the answer nine times out of ten is ‘I love it.’”可知作者问了10个人，有9个人都说他们喜欢被表扬。故可知大部分人是喜欢从别人那里获得赞扬的。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“She looked at me right in the eye and said, ‘Thank you, Sir. Do you know you are the first person ever to praise me in this shop?’”可知作者对女孩儿说了一些赞扬的话，女孩儿认为作者是这个店里第一个赞扬她的人。选项A“我对你对待顾客的方式印象深刻。”是一种赞扬。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据“How often do you remember to tell people how much you like, admire (钦佩) or appreciate them? For many people, it’s not often enough.”及下文可知本文主要讲我们要告诉别人，我们欣赏钦佩他们，即要经常赞扬他们。故选B。 主题04 人与自我-个人经历 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·重庆南川·期末） ①Life is often compared to a journey. It’s full of unexpected things.

Now, the country is breaking its own speed record with CR450. ②CR450 can travel at 400 kilometers per hour on average, with a top speed hitting 453km/h. Before this, the fastest high-speed train operating in a rail network in the world is China’s CR400, which runs at 350km/h on average. ③Once put into use, for example, the CR450 will shorten the travel time from Beijing to Shanghai to just about two and a half hours, which takes at least four and a half hours at the moment. ④“The key is not to make the train run fast but to have it brake (刹车) accurately (精准地) and steadily (平稳地),” Zhao Hongwei of the China Academy of Railway Sciences told CCTV News. The standard is that the CR450 should have the same brake distance as the CR400, which is 6,500 meters, even though it travels a lot faster. It can also start braking more quickly, taking just 1.7 seconds compared with the 2.3 seconds needed for the CR400. ⑤The engineers did lots of tests with the brakes to make the system better. In the tests, the brake disc (制动盘) got really hot, reaching temperatures of up to 700℃. Its color changed from black to red. The changes were then recorded. All the data were saved in a smart system to make a digital model of the brake system for calculations (计算). ⑥Apart from having a better braking system, the CR450 has the same noise level as theCR400. Moreover, it is 12 percent lighter and 20 percent less energy-consuming (能量消耗), according to CCTV News. With all its advantages, people are getting excited about the train’s debut, which is planned to be on show this year. 1．According to Zhao Hongwei, what is “the key” to CR450?

Unlike traditional methods that can damage the environment or require much time and physical work, AI has the ability to quickly and effectively deal with a large amount of data. ②Creatures are disappearing at a speed thousands of times faster than that millions of years ago, with one million creatures endangered. The United Nations set a goal in 2020 to guard at least 30% of Earth’s land and oceans by the end of 2030. “AI is imperfect but could make important discoveries faster and earlier,” says Nicolas Miailhe, founder of the Future Society, an organization that aims to better manage AI. “We need skilled humans to design AI models and check and collect data.” ③A type of AI model called a convolutional neural network (CNN) has been developed to recognize (识别) bird sounds. The CNN is able to pick out 75 kinds of the birds. “Our results show that AI has the ability to recognize birds in the wild from sound,” says Muller, the team leader. “All that is needed now is more training data collected by humans.” ④Besides monitoring creatures in real time, AI can be used to model the impacts of human activities on the environment and rebuild historical changes. Researchers have used AI to discover how a century’s environmental damage in a river has led to creature loss. ⑤Although human activities have resulted in creature loss in rivers and lakes, little is known about which activities have the largest impact, “AI will do soon,” says Luisa Orsini, a researcher from the University of Birmingham. 1．Which of the following is TRUE about AI used in monitoring the environment? A．It is being in fashion and widely used. B．It does the job quickly and effectively. C．Much time and physical work are needed. D．It does more harm to the environment. 2．What can we infer from Nicolas Miailhe’s and Muller’s words? A．AI’s ability is a lot greater than humans’. B．AI can deal with everything faster and earlier. C．AI will be able to recognize bird sounds in the future. D．AI’s ability can be better achieved with humans’ support. 3．What does the underlined word “impacts” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Influences. B．Choices. C．Advantages. D．Purposes. 4．What is the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①/②③/④/⑤ C．①②/③④/⑤ D．①/②③④⑤ 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍用人工智能来监测环境并拯救濒危生物。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Unlike traditional methods that can damage the environment or require much time and physical work, AI has the ability to quickly and effectively deal with a large amount of data.”可知，人工智能可以快速且有效率地工作。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“AI is imperfect but could make important discoveries faster and earlier,”和“We need skilled humans to design AI models and check and collect data.”可知，人工智能可以更快更早地做出重要发现；需要熟练的人类来设计人工智能模型，检查和收集数据。根据第三段“Our results show that AI has the ability to recognize birds in the wild from sound”和“All that is needed now is more training data collected by humans.”可知，人工智能有能力从声音中识别野外的鸟类；现在所需要的是人类收集更多的训练数据。由此可推知人工智能的能力可以在人类的支持下更好地实现。故选D。 3．词义猜测题。根据“Researchers have used AI to discover how a century’s environmental damage in a river has led to creature loss.”可知，研究人员利用人工智能发现了一个世纪以来河流环境的破坏是如何导致生物灭绝的。再结合“AI can be used to model the impacts of human activities on the environment”和选项可知，此处意为“人类活动对环境的影响”，所以划线词意为“影响”，故选A。 4．篇章结构题。通读全文，第一段讲述用人工智能来监测环境并拯救濒危生物；第二段至第五段具体介绍人工智能的用途及方法，因此文章是“总——分”结构。故选D。 Passage 9 （24-25九年级上·重庆·期末） Jane, Bob and Ella are three foreign students who are interested in Chinese literature.

A study in the UK found that 67% of people over 75 faced at least one scam try in six months, and most of these were phone scams. To solve the problem, a company named Virgin Media O2 has found an unusual solution: Daisy. ②Who is Daisy? In fact, Daisy is not a real person. She is an AI chatbot. Daisy acts like an ordinary grandmother. She loves chatting and says she’s not good with technology. Or, at least, that’s what she might tell people on the phone. She calls herself “your worst nightmare (噩梦)” not to you, but to phone scammers. ③ So how does Daisy work? All she does every day is to talk to phone scammers and waste their time. She is trained to chat with scammers and keep them on the phone so they can’t scam others. Virgin Media O2 worked with Jim Browning, a YouTuber (油管博主) who acts as a victim (诈骗受害者) to waste scammers’ time. Together, they made Daisy very believable. ④ Daisy has real conversations with scammers. Some of these chats last nearly an hour! She talks about her cat, her dog, and her family. Sometimes, she even gives the scammers what they want-bank details. But of course, they’re not real. ⑤Virgin Media O2 says Daisy has already wasted “hundreds of hours” of scammers’ time. This helps protect other people, especially grandparents, from being scammed. Daisy also teaches an important lesson: you can’t always trust the person you’re speaking to on the phone.

When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot, but it cannot make the water hot. Though the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth goes up, and then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the air near a lake or an ocean, you feel the cool air when it moves around you. You feel the wind, and the wind makes you cool. Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask. “Why is the ocean full of salt?” Scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cool, it breaks, and rain falls into the cracks (裂缝). The rain then carries the salt into the earth and the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask. “What happens to the salt in the ocean?” The ocean does not get saltier every year. They are not sure about the answer to the question. We have known a lot of things on the earth, but there is still a long way to go about the study of our world. 1．What kind of air goes up according to the first paragraph? A．The hot air. B．The cool air over the water. C．The air over the earth. D．The air moved by the wind. 2．What does the underlined word they refers to? A．people in the world B．the cracks in the rocks C．the rivers D．the scientists 3．After we read the passage, we learn that __________. A．scientists know the reason why the ocean gets saltier every year B．you feel cool only when you are near a lake or an ocean C．when the cool air moves around you, the wind makes you feel the cool air D．the sun can make the water in the lake or the ocean hot 4．The writer writes the passage to __________. A．explain why you feel cool when you are near a lake or an ocean B．explain why the ocean is full of salt C．explain why the ocean gets saltier every year D．explain some natural phenomenon and to call on more studies on our world 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文讲述了科学家能够回答一些问题，但并不能回答所有问题。我们知道为什么夏天的海边和湖边会感觉凉快，知道海里的盐来自哪里，但是科学家们也不确定海里的盐会怎么样。还有很多的问题等着我们去解决。 1．细节理解题。根据“The hot air over the earth goes up”可知，热空气上升，故选A。 2．词义猜测题。根据“But then we ask. ‘What happens to the salt in the ocean?’ The ocean does not get saltier every year. They are not sure about the answer to the question.”可知，科学家对一些问题的答案没有把握，所以“They”指代的是“科学家”，故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“you feel the cool air when it moves around you. You feel the wind, and the wind makes you cool.”可知，当冷空气在你周围移动时，会形成风，风使你感到凉爽，故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据“We have known a lot of things on the earth, but there is still a long way to go about the study of our world.”及整个文章的理解可知，文章主要解释一些自然现象并呼吁对我们的世界进行更多的研究，故选D。 Passage 15 （24-25九年级上·重庆·期末） Wulong is a beautiful place known for its amazing natural beauty, such as natural bridges, caves and forests.

Have you ever heard the powerful voices of the boatmen known as “Chuanjiang Haozi”? It is a special form of folk singing that developed along the Chuanjiang River. The Chuanjiang River, a part of the Yangtze River in Sichuan Province and Chongqing, is known for its danger. When the boats come to the dangerous or the shallow (浅的) part, the boatmen have to work together to pull the boats. There is no doubt that it’s hard work as the boats are really heavy and there is no road for boatmen to walk so they have to walk on the rocks or even dangerous cliff (悬崖). To make the work easier and to keep everyone moving together, the boatmen developed “Chuanjiang Haozi”. The singing of the “Chuanjiang Haozi” is usually simple but strong. The lyrics (歌词) are about the boatmen’s daily life, including the working places, hard work, and hopes of the workers. When the boatmen sing it together, their voices are so powerful that they feel the strength of working together as one team. The singing also makes them less tired. The “Chuanjiang Haozi” is not just a song, but a deep connection (联系) between humans and nature, as well as the power of music to bring people together. We should learn from the boatmen to be hardworking and face the difficulties bravely. Nowadays, we don’t see many boats pulled by boatmen on the river because we have machines to help with the boats. But the “Chuanjiang Haozi” is still an important part of Chinese culture. In recent years, efforts have been made to protect and pass on this ancient art form, making sure that future generations (一代人) can continue to feel the history and the rich culture of the Chuanjiang River boatmen. 1．How does the writer lead in the topic?

However, your laughter does more than just showing you’re happy—it can also tell others whether you’re laughing with a close friend or just being polite with a stranger. ②A team of scientists, led by Greg Bryant, studied how laughter showed this to us. They collected 48 tapes with different recordings. The recordings included all possible interactions (交流) between friends, strangers, men groups and women groups. ③By analyzing (分析) the tapes, they found laughter between friends had more ups and downs in the waveform, meaning the loudness of sound changed a lot and more dark spots (点) in the spectrogram, showing the strong energy in the voice. This study helped understand how laughter changed in different situations and among different people. ④To see whether people can sense the change of laughter, the researchers played these short recordings to 966 people from 24 different societies. To their surprise, even though there were some cultural differences, the listeners were able to tell if the laughter was between friends or strangers 61% of the time. The scientists also found that the accuracy (准确度) was even higher when it came to recordings of only women laughing. The researchers thought this was probably because women were more likely to express their feelings than men. ⑤Bryant believed that this research showed that people around the world understand laughter in a similar way. Another scientist Carolyn McGettigan summarized, “A laugh among friends is a special sound, no matter where it happens.” 1．Which picture can best describe laughter between friends? A． B． C． D． 2．What can we know about Greg Bryant’s research? A．Bryant finished this research on his own. B．966 people were called in to record their laughter. C．The results surprised the researchers in Bryant’s team. D．Women are more likely to hide their feelings than men. 3．Below is a flow chart showing how Bryant got the result that people around the world understand laughter in a similar way. Which word can we choose to finish the chart? A．Test B．Show C．Discuss D．Question 4．What’s the best title of this passage? A．The Recording Process of Laughter Recordings. B．Laughter-More Than Just an Expression of Joy. C．What is the relationship between gender and laughter? D．Which is a universal way to show happiness-laugh or giggle? 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了笑声除了表示快乐外，还可以传达其他方面的情感。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“By analyzing the tapes, they found … different situations and among different people.”可知，通过分析录音带发现，朋友之间的笑声在波形上有更多的起伏，意味着声音的响度变化很大，并且在语谱图中有更多的暗点，显示出声音中的强烈能量，这项研究帮助理解了笑声在不同情境和不同人群中的变化，所以，选项A“最能描述朋友之间的笑声”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“To their surprise, even though there were some cultural … more likely to express their feelings than men.”可知，令他们惊讶的是，尽管存在一些文化差异，听众能够分辨出笑声是来自朋友还是陌生人的准确率为61%。科学家们还发现，当录音仅限于女性笑声时，准确度更高，研究人员认为这可能是因为女性比男性更倾向于表达自己的情感。所以，选项C“结果让布莱恩特团队的研究人员感到惊讶。”符合题意。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第二段“They collected 48 tapes with different recordings.”、第三段“By analyzing the tapes, they found… showing the strong energy in the voice. ”、第四段“To see whether people can sense the change of laughter, the researchers played these short recordings to 966 people from 24 different societies.”和第五段“Bryant believed that this research showed that … a special sound, no matter where it happens.’”可知，本文每段的大意是“收集笑声录音，分析录音，测试他们的发现”，所以，选项A符合题意。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。根据第一段“However, your laughter does more than just showing you’re happy-it can … being polite with a stranger.”及全文可知，笑声不仅仅只是显示你很开心——它还可以告诉别人你是和亲密的朋友一起笑，还是仅仅对陌生人表示礼貌，所以，选项B“笑声——不仅仅是快乐的表达”符合题意。 故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·重庆大渡口·期末） ①Take a moment to pay attention to your body. Notice your breathing—is it fast, slow, or somewhere in between? Are your thoughts racing, or are you focused on what you are reading? These feelings are signals from your body and brain, showing how you feel right now. ②So, where do feelings come from? According to Ekta Hattangady, a counselor, feelings start in our brains but also show up in our bodies. For example, when we are happy, we smile. If we are surprised, we might feel tightness in our throat or chest. When we are scared, our breathing can become quick and shallow. ③Understanding why feelings are important and necessary. Hattangady explains that emotions (情感) give us signs about what we need. For example, feeling angry might mean something is unfair and needs to be fixed. If you feel sad, it could mean you need comfort or time to fix. Recognizing and naming your feelings is called emotional awareness (意识), which is an important part of growing up. This awareness helps you talk about your feelings and ask for help when needed. ④Emotions can be seen as messengers. In the movie “Inside Out”,  the characters in 13-year-old Riley’s mind are the signs of her feelings. As Riley faces big changes, these feelings take charge. Joy, fear, and sadness all play important roles when she starts a new school and worries about losing friends. Riley learns that all feelings are normal and have important jobs in our lives. ⑤To build emotional awareness, try to notice how you feel throughout your day. Hattangady suggests that feelings come and go. By learning to notice them without letting them control you, we can stay calm and make better choices. ⑥In a word, recognizing and understanding our feelings is important for our emotional health. By paying attention to our feelings, we can better deal with our emotions and reply to our needs. 1．Why is it important to recognize our feelings? A．Because it makes us feel much happier. B．Because it allows us to understand our needs. C．Because it helps us to avoid many problems. D．Because it helps us pay no attention to our emotions. 2．How does the writer explain the idea of emotional awareness? A．By providing examples from movies B．By explaining the effects of emotions C．By sharing personal experiences D．By listing different types of feelings 3．Which of the following best matches the information in the passage? A．All feelings are negative and harmful. B．Emotional awareness is only for children. C．Emotions can guide us in making choices. D．Feelings are unimportant and should be ignored. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文讲述了认识和理解我们的感情对我们的心理健康很重要。 1．细节理解题。根据“Hattangady explains that emotions (情感) give us signs about what we need.”可知认知我们的感情很重要，因为它使我们知道我们需要什么。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“In the movie ‘Inside Out’…”可知作者通过介绍一个电影来解释情感意识。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“By learning to notice them without letting them control you, we can stay calm and make better choices.”可知感情能帮我们做出选择。故选C。 4．篇章结构题。第一段首先引出了感情，第二、三段则写出了感情的重要性，第四段则列举了一部电影作为例子，第五、六段做出总结。故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·重庆万州·期末） 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. If 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．The underlined word “dual-tasking” probably means “________” in the passage. A．一心二用 B．心平气和 C．专心致志 D．心血来潮 3．According to the writer, our brain is like a ________. A．book B．light C．train D．computer 4．What will be most probably talked about next? A．The ways to have a healthy body. B．The ways to make your brain stronger. C．The ways to communicate with others. D．The ways to deal with forgetting things. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了“一心二用”这一现象以及为什么人有时候会在说之前忘记要说什么。 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?”可知通过提问题来引出本文的主题。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据“We seem to do this more when we are thinking of a few things at once or doing two things at the same time.”可知，dual-tasking的意思是同时想几件事或同时做两件事时，即“一心二用”。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．推理判断题。根据“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!”可知文末讲到当你在说话前忘记了要说什么，不要紧张，由此推出接下来可能讲处理遗忘的方法。故选D。 主题07 人与自然-动植物 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·重庆大足·期末） China and Western countries have something different in cultures about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, we have the same idea—pigs are ugly, lazy and stupid. Just look at some Chinese sayings such as “Boiling a dead pig” and “A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig”. And in English, there are some expressions like “Eating like a pig” and “Pigs might fly”. None of them are complimentary (赞美的). However, pigs have some good qualities.
