He looked at his charts. “In four days, there will be a high tide that will lift the Nautilus off the reef,” he told me. “We will wait for it.” Ned wanted to go onto the island and catch some animals to eat. To our surprise, Captain Nemo agreed to put us on land for a short time. We were allowed to use the dinghy. Captain Nemo did not come with us. We went alone. Ned was very excited. “We are going to eat meat!” he said. Half an hour of rowing brought us to the island. It was wonderful to walk on land again. Ned found some coconuts and drank the milk at once. Then we walked into the forest and found some breadfruit trees. Ned cooked some of the breadfruit, which tasted just like real bread. We found fruits like bananas and mangoes. Ned still wanted some meat, but it was time to go back to the Nautilus. We brought the food that we had found back with us. We returned to the island the next day and hunted birds. Ned shot two pigeons, a wild pig and several smaller animals like rabbits. We sat near the boat to cook and eat them, but we were suddenly attacked by about 100 savages. They followed us into the water as we rowed away, but they could not catch us. Back on the Nautilus, I found Captain Nemo who was playing the piano and told him about the savages. “You should not be surprised that there are savages on land, Dr. Aronnax,” he said. “They may try to come onto the Nautilus,” I said. “We have nothing to fear,” he replied. He turned back to his piano. I went back outside. It was dark, and I could see fires on the beach. The savages were still there. —Taken from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea 1．What would help lift the Nautilus according to Captain Nemo? 2．How did they feel when Captain Nemo agreed to put them on land? 3．How long did it take them to row to the island? 4．Was Captain Nemo afraid of savages? 5．How many times have they been to the island? 主题02 人与社会——中华文化 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·江苏宿迁市宿城区·期末） 阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。 Chinese paper-cutting or jianzhi, is a kind of folk art.

Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·江苏苏州市仪征市·期末） An about 2-metre-wide alley, or “Liu Chi Xiang” in Chinese, now attracts a large number of visitors in Tongcheng, Anhui. There is an ancient story behind it. During the Qing Dynasty, Minister Zhang Ying received a letter from his family back in his hometown of Tongcheng one day. From the letter, Zhang learned that his family had quarrelled with their neighbour Wu and his family over the boundary between their houses. Since both families held strong power in Tongcheng, the disagreement was never solved. Zhang’s family wrote the letter hoping that Zhang could make their neighbour give in. However, Zhang replied with a poem saying, “Writing a letter from home, miles away, just for a wall. All that fuss (大发牢骚) over one metre or two. Look at the long Great Wall. Long gone is its builder Emperor Qinshihuang.” His reply made the family members realize that the wall was only a temporary (暂时的) matter and that the close relationship with their neighbour was more important. So, they decided to move their wall back about one metre. In turn, the Wu family was deeply touched by this act and moved back another metre while building their wall. It created an about two-metre-wide narrow “alley” between the houses. Today, Tongcheng has become a national historical and cultural city. And the alley shows the values of tolerance and harmony (宽容与和谐) that are widely admired in China. 根据短文内容回答问题（每小题答案不超过10个单词）。 1．How wide is “Liu Chi Xiang”? 2．Where is Zhang Ying’s Hometown? 3．Why did Zhang Ying’s family write to him? 4．Who built the long Great Wall? 5．What do you think “Liu Chi Xiang” represents?

However, after a few hours, people gradually lost their attention. The speaker came up with an idea. He stopped his speech and asked all of the people to join in a group activity. He gave a single balloon to each person in the room. Each person was asked to write his or her name on the balloon with a black marker pen. Then, all of the balloons were collected and moved to another room. The 50 people were then let into the room and told to find the balloon that had their name written on it.

Everyone is busy looking for their own happiness, not caring what happens to others. But sometimes the best way to find happiness is to help others. Help them find happiness and you can find your own.” 1．Where did these 50 people write their names? 2．What do the balloons stand for in the story? 3．Do you agree with the speaker’s words?

This spring she thought of building a go-kart (卡丁车) to enter for the Go-Go Race, so she asked her dad for help. “Well,” he said, “how about designing a go-kart after you do some research first?” A week later, Sally brought her notes and drawings to Dad. She named her go-kart “Blue Lightning”. Dad looked over her work, thinking. “Well, that’s interesting,” he said. “Have a try. Just build Blue Lightning as you’ve designed.” After three weekends of hard work, Sally turned her design into a real, working go-kart and painted it light blue. Dad asked her to take it for a test drive. Sally agreed. After she did that, Sally drove back to Dad. “Well,” she said, “now I know why you wanted me to have a test drive.” “Oh, do you?” he said, “please share.” “When I drove fast, there was a lot of push back,” she said. “I think it’s because of the lightning bolt (闪电) shape.” “Very good!” Dad said. “So, why didn’t you tell me about that problem in the first place?” Sally asked. Dad laughed. “Where’s the fun in that? If you give a man a fish, he’ll eat it for a day. But if you teach a man to fish, he’ll eat for a lifetime.” Sally said, “I see. Anyway, designing is half the fun and the other half is putting the design into practice!” Dad smiled. “Good. Sometimes, learning happens during the process. Next you can go on trying although you’ll make mistakes along the way.” That encouraged Sally and she worked even harder. When she showed Dad her new go-kart, he nodded with pride. Finally came the race. Sally wasn’t worried about whether she would win. In her mind, she had already won, by building something better than ever before. 1．Why did Sally think of building a go-kart? 2．What did Sally’s dad ask her to do after she built the go-kart? 3．According to Sally, what was the fun during building a go-kart? 4．How did Sally’s father feel when he saw Sally’s new go-kart? 5．What do you learn from the passage? 主题02 人与社会——著名人物 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·江苏扬州市宝应县·期末） 阅读并回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过7个词。 “I must tell you the story about what really happened to Frédéric Chopin’s heart.” “This first Lily, her mother was the housekeeper for the great pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin, here in Paris.

She became China’s first Ph.D．in the suona. Her journey to that achievement was hard but well worth it. Liu was, in fact, “destined (注定的)” to pick up the suona. Nearly everyone in her family plays this instrument, and the tradition goes back over 300 years. In that sense, what she liked as a young girl—the piano, dancing didn’t really matter. In primary school, Liu had to get up at 4 a.m. every day to practice the suona in a garden near her home. After school, she had to practice at home, too. “It was noisy,” Liu says. “I still remember my parents always arguing with our neighbors.” When Liu was eight, her mother, Liu Hongmei, began taking her to bigger cities like Beijing to learn from well-known musicians. They would take the late train and arrive in Beijing in the middle of the night. To save money, they would rest in the underpasses (地下通道) of Chang’an Street until it was time for her lesson the next morning. Things got better from the second year of middle school. Liu finally had a regular teacher, the famous suona player Liu Ying. Liu Ying taught her for free until she got into the Shanghai Conservatory of Music after finishing high school. That’s when a new chapter began. She picked up new skills and gained a deeper understanding of the suona. It was not the most popular instrument among her peers (同龄人), but she was proud to play it. Liu has performed at many big events. One of the most unforgettable was when she performed with the famous composer Tan Dun in Australia in 2017. She played the most famous suona piece, A Hundred Birds Paying Homages to the Phoenix, and wowed the Sydney Opera House with cheerful bird-like sounds. Those sounds should be heard by more people. For that goal, Liu has experimented with many new ways to mix suona art with modern music. “I believe in being open-minded and trying new things,” she says. 请将答案写在答题卡上 1．Why was Liu Wenwen “destined” to play the suona? 2．Where would Liu Wenwen and her mum rest before taking her lessons in Beijing? 3．When did Liu Wenwen get a regular suona teacher? 4．Who did Liu Wenwen perform with in Australia in 2017? 5．What do you think of Liu Wenwen?

Since they can’t hear, talking to hearing people can be hard. Luckily, sign language interpreters (翻译) are there to help. Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her first language, as her parents are deaf. “I began to learn sign language before I could even talk,” she recalled. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law office in Chongqing. Her work takes her to places like courts, where shed interprets for deaf people. As sign language has fewer words, Hao often meets difficult legal terms that have no direct match. In such situations, she carefully explains the meaning for deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. “For example, the words ‘put out a fire’ are signed as a fire put out in sign language because deaf people describe what they see first,” Hao explained. Hao feels stressed at work because accuracy (准确性) is important in legal interpretations. Her stress also comes from the fact that sign language has “dialects”. The same word can be expressed with different hand signs depending on where a deaf person is from. “For example, people in Inner Mongolia and Chongqing use different signs for the word ‘true’,” Hao explained. Having traveled to over 30 cities in China, she has learned about the ways deaf people across the country use sign language. In her spare time, Hao reads many law books and talks with lawyers and her deaf coworkers to improve her professional ability. “My parents are deaf, so I understand the difficulties faced by the deaf community. I want to do everything I can to help them,” Hao said. 1．Who can help deaf people talk to hearing people according to the passage? 2．When did Hao Shuxin start to learn sign language? 3．Why does Hao feel stressed at work? 4．How does Hao improve her professional ability in her free time? 5．What do you think of Hao? And why? (请自拟一句话作答) Passage 4 （24-25九年级上·江苏苏州市·期末） 阅读下面的短文，用英语回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。 In 1097, Su Dongpo, a famous Chinese poet, was exiled (流放) to Hainan, a faraway and underdeveloped island.

Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·江苏盐城市盐都区·期末） A new collection has put the spotlight on qipao. Hu Sheguang, known for his creative designs and amazing shows, presented 100 fancy qipao dresses at the CP Center in Beijing during the 2024 AW Beijing Fashion Week. There are four different styles: Flowery Woman, French-style Elegance, Rock’n’ Roll, and Neo-Chinese Style. These new designs changed how people viewed the traditional Chinese dress that had been around for a century and gave a new look to the old-fashioned Chinese dress. Qipao first appeared in the 1920s as a loose dress like the one-piece gowns that men wore and then became popular among young women. About ten years later, the dress was changed to fit women’s bodies better, making it a must-have among fashionable women, especially in Shanghai, which was considered the fashion capital of China. In the 1940s, qipao became more form-fitting (合身的) with a high collar and tight sleeves. By the 1950s, it had become a symbol of elegance. Today, many women in China still wear qipao for formal occasions. Traditional qipao dresses are usually made of silk, which can be expensive. However, Hu’s designs used different materials, including cotton, linen and leather, to make sure that more women could afford qipao. Hu also made a change to the dress’s buttons (纽扣). Instead of the traditional knot buttons, which can be difficult to tie and untie, he used zippers (拉链) in his designs. “Chinese qipao is usually custom-made to show the wearer’s individuality. Qipao is also so inclusive that it can be worn for different events, allowing every woman to be fashionable,” Hu said. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．What is Hu Sheguang known for? 2．How many styles are in Hu’s qipao designs? 3．When did Qipao become more form-fitting? 4．How did Hu make sure that more women could afford qipao? 5．What do you think of Qipao? 主题04 人与社会——志愿服务 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·江苏无锡市·期末） Shari was so excited for her birthday.

Captain Nemo, however, was not worried. He looked at his charts. “In four days, there will be a high tide that will lift the Nautilus off the reef,” he told me. “We will wait for it.” Ned wanted to go onto the island and catch some animals to eat. To our surprise, Captain Nemo agreed to put us on land for a short time. We were allowed to use the dinghy. Captain Nemo did not come with us. We went alone. Ned was very excited. “We are going to eat meat!” he said. Half an hour of rowing brought us to the island. It was wonderful to walk on land again. Ned found some coconuts and drank the milk at once. Then we walked into the forest and found some breadfruit trees. Ned cooked some of the breadfruit, which tasted just like real bread. We found fruits like bananas and mangoes. Ned still wanted some meat, but it was time to go back to the Nautilus. We brought the food that we had found back with us. We returned to the island the next day and hunted birds. Ned shot two pigeons, a wild pig and several smaller animals like rabbits. We sat near the boat to cook and eat them, but we were suddenly attacked by about 100 savages. They followed us into the water as we rowed away, but they could not catch us. Back on the Nautilus, I found Captain Nemo who was playing the piano and told him about the savages. “You should not be surprised that there are savages on land, Dr. Aronnax,” he said. “They may try to come onto the Nautilus,” I said. “We have nothing to fear,” he replied. He turned back to his piano. I went back outside. It was dark, and I could see fires on the beach.

There is an ancient story behind it. During the Qing Dynasty, Minister Zhang Ying received a letter from his family back in his hometown of Tongcheng one day. From the letter, Zhang learned that his family had quarrelled with their neighbour Wu and his family over the boundary between their houses. Since both families held strong power in Tongcheng, the disagreement was never solved. Zhang’s family wrote the letter hoping that Zhang could make their neighbour give in. However, Zhang replied with a poem saying, “Writing a letter from home, miles away, just for a wall. All that fuss (大发牢骚) over one metre or two. Look at the long Great Wall. Long gone is its builder Emperor Qinshihuang.” His reply made the family members realize that the wall was only a temporary (暂时的) matter and that the close relationship with their neighbour was more important. So, they decided to move their wall back about one metre. In turn, the Wu family was deeply touched by this act and moved back another metre while building their wall. It created an about two-metre-wide narrow “alley” between the houses. Today, Tongcheng has become a national historical and cultural city.

However, after a few hours, people gradually lost their attention. The speaker came up with an idea. He stopped his speech and asked all of the people to join in a group activity. He gave a single balloon to each person in the room. Each person was asked to write his or her name on the balloon with a black marker pen. Then, all of the balloons were collected and moved to another room. The 50 people were then let into the room and told to find the balloon that had their name written on it. Everyone rushed around, wildly searching for their balloon. People were bumping into and tripping (绊倒) over each other. But even after five minutes of searching, no one could find their own balloon. After seeing this, the speaker asked each person to collect a balloon and try to find the person whose name was written on it. Everyone started talking to each other and asking each other for their name. Within minutes, everyone had his or her own balloon. “Can you see what happened?” the speaker said. “The balloons are like the happiness we seek in our own lives.

She became China’s first Ph.D．in the suona. Her journey to that achievement was hard but well worth it. Liu was, in fact, “destined (注定的)” to pick up the suona. Nearly everyone in her family plays this instrument, and the tradition goes back over 300 years. In that sense, what she liked as a young girl—the piano, dancing didn’t really matter. In primary school, Liu had to get up at 4 a.m. every day to practice the suona in a garden near her home. After school, she had to practice at home, too. “It was noisy,” Liu says. “I still remember my parents always arguing with our neighbors.” When Liu was eight, her mother, Liu Hongmei, began taking her to bigger cities like Beijing to learn from well-known musicians. They would take the late train and arrive in Beijing in the middle of the night. To save money, they would rest in the underpasses (地下通道) of Chang’an Street until it was time for her lesson the next morning. Things got better from the second year of middle school. Liu finally had a regular teacher, the famous suona player Liu Ying. Liu Ying taught her for free until she got into the Shanghai Conservatory of Music after finishing high school. That’s when a new chapter began. She picked up new skills and gained a deeper understanding of the suona. It was not the most popular instrument among her peers (同龄人), but she was proud to play it. Liu has performed at many big events. One of the most unforgettable was when she performed with the famous composer Tan Dun in Australia in 2017. She played the most famous suona piece, A Hundred Birds Paying Homages to the Phoenix, and wowed the Sydney Opera House with cheerful bird-like sounds. Those sounds should be heard by more people. For that goal, Liu has experimented with many new ways to mix suona art with modern music. “I believe in being open-minded and trying new things,” she says. 请将答案写在答题卡上 1．Why was Liu Wenwen “destined” to play the suona? 2．Where would Liu Wenwen and her mum rest before taking her lessons in Beijing? 3．When did Liu Wenwen get a regular suona teacher? 4．Who did Liu Wenwen perform with in Australia in 2017? 5．What do you think of Liu Wenwen?

(答案不唯一) Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·江苏南通市·期末） 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Did you know that sign language also has “dialects” (方言)? Sign language is the main way deaf people communicate. Since they can’t hear, talking to hearing people can be hard. Luckily, sign language interpreters (翻译) are there to help. Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her first language, as her parents are deaf. “I began to learn sign language before I could even talk,” she recalled. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law office in Chongqing. Her work takes her to places like courts, where shed interprets for deaf people. As sign language has fewer words, Hao often meets difficult legal terms that have no direct match. In such situations, she carefully explains the meaning for deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. “For example, the words ‘put out a fire’ are signed as a fire put out in sign language because deaf people describe what they see first,” Hao explained. Hao feels stressed at work because accuracy (准确性) is important in legal interpretations. Her stress also comes from the fact that sign language has “dialects”. The same word can be expressed with different hand signs depending on where a deaf person is from. “For example, people in Inner Mongolia and Chongqing use different signs for the word ‘true’,” Hao explained. Having traveled to over 30 cities in China, she has learned about the ways deaf people across the country use sign language. In her spare time, Hao reads many law books and talks with lawyers and her deaf coworkers to improve her professional ability. “My parents are deaf, so I understand the difficulties faced by the deaf community. I want to do everything I can to help them,” Hao said. 1．Who can help deaf people talk to hearing people according to the passage? 2．When did Hao Shuxin start to learn sign language? 3．Why does Hao feel stressed at work? 4．How does Hao improve her professional ability in her free time? 5．What do you think of Hao? And why? (请自拟一句话作答) 【答案】1．Sign language interpreters. 2．Before she could even talk. 3．Because accuracy is important in legal interpretations and sign language has “dialects”. 4．In her spare time, Hao reads many law books and talks with lawyers and her deaf coworkers to improve her professional ability. 5．She is hard-working and caring. Because she tries to improve her professional skills in order to help the deaf community. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了手语译员郝舒欣在帮助聋人群体进行法律翻译工作中的挑战和努力。 1．根据“Sign language is the main way deaf people communicate.

Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·江苏盐城市盐都区·期末） A new collection has put the spotlight on qipao. Hu Sheguang, known for his creative designs and amazing shows, presented 100 fancy qipao dresses at the CP Center in Beijing during the 2024 AW Beijing Fashion Week. There are four different styles: Flowery Woman, French-style Elegance, Rock’n’ Roll, and Neo-Chinese Style. These new designs changed how people viewed the traditional Chinese dress that had been around for a century and gave a new look to the old-fashioned Chinese dress. Qipao first appeared in the 1920s as a loose dress like the one-piece gowns that men wore and then became popular among young women. About ten years later, the dress was changed to fit women’s bodies better, making it a must-have among fashionable women, especially in Shanghai, which was considered the fashion capital of China. In the 1940s, qipao became more form-fitting (合身的) with a high collar and tight sleeves. By the 1950s, it had become a symbol of elegance. Today, many women in China still wear qipao for formal occasions. Traditional qipao dresses are usually made of silk, which can be expensive. However, Hu’s designs used different materials, including cotton, linen and leather, to make sure that more women could afford qipao. Hu also made a change to the dress’s buttons (纽扣). Instead of the traditional knot buttons, which can be difficult to tie and untie, he used zippers (拉链) in his designs. “Chinese qipao is usually custom-made to show the wearer’s individuality. Qipao is also so inclusive that it can be worn for different events, allowing every woman to be fashionable,” Hu said. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．What is Hu Sheguang known for? 2．How many styles are in Hu’s qipao designs? 3．When did Qipao become more form-fitting? 4．How did Hu make sure that more women could afford qipao? 5．What do you think of Qipao? 【答案】1．His creative designs and amazing shows. 2．Four. 3．In the 1940s. 4．He used different materials. /By using different materials. 5．It’s a symbol of elegance /...（言之有理即可） 【导语】本文主要介绍了胡社光在2024年北京时装周上展示的100件华丽旗袍，并介绍了旗袍的历史和胡社光对旗袍设计的创新。 1．根据“Hu Sheguang, known for his creative designs and amazing shows, presented 100 fancy qipao dresses at the CP Center in Beijing during the 2024 AW Beijing Fashion Week.”可知胡社光以他的创意设计和惊艳秀而闻名。故填His creative designs and amazing shows. 2．根据“There are four different styles: Flowery Woman, French-style Elegance, Rock’n’ Roll, and Neo-Chinese Style.”可知胡的旗袍设计有四种风格。故填Four/4. 3．根据“In the 1940s, qipao became more form-fitting with a high collar and tight sleeves.”可知在20世纪40年代，旗袍变得更合身。故填In the 1940s. 4．根据“However, Hu’s designs used different materials,including cotton,linen and leather,to make sure that more women could afford qipao.”可知胡的设计使用了不同的材料，包括棉花、亚麻和皮革，以确保更多的女性买得起旗袍。故填He used different materials. /By using different materials. 5．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。故填It’s a symbol of elegance /... 主题04 人与社会——志愿服务 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·江苏无锡市·期末） Shari was so excited for her birthday.

The Pony Express, a fast mail delivery service, successfully completed its first journey from Saint Joseph in Missouri to Sacramento in California. This exciting journey began on April 3. The Pony Express hired skilled horse riders to carry letters and small packages. They promised delivery from one end of the run to the other in 10 days or less! Finally, there was a way to communicate with friends and family who live far away. You would not have to depend on slow boats or stagecoaches. About 180 riders, 400 fast horses, and 190 pony express stations made up the pony express. Its riders were mainly of small build, and many were teenagers. A day’s work was made up of about a 75-mile trip, with stops at several stations. The stations were about 10 to 15 miles apart. Riders earned about $100 to $150 a month. The Pony Express worked day and night to make sure important letters and packages arrived on time. October 26, 1861—Sad news for the pony express. After only about 19 months, the service closed its doors because of the opening of the telegraph (电报), a device that has changed long-distance communication. The Pony Express lost a lot of money and had to stop. Before closing, the Pony Express set a record that delivering a package took just 7 days and 17 hours from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California. 1．When did the pony express finish its first journey? 2．What made up the pony express? 3．How many stations would a rider of the pony express pass by in a day at least? 4．Why did the pony express close its doors? 5．How do you usually communicate with your far-away friends? Why? (请自拟一句话作答) 【答案】1．On April 15,1860. 2．About 180 riders, 400 fast horses, and 190 pony express stations. 3．Five/5 (stations). 4．Because of the opening of the telegraph (a device that has changed long-distance communication). 5．By email/ phone/ letter. Because it is easy and fast. (言之有理即可） 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了Pony Express (驿马快信) 的历史、运作方式以及它关闭的原因。 1．根据“April 15, 1860—A special day! The Pony Express, a fast mail delivery service, successfully completed its first journey from Saint Joseph in Missouri to Sacramento in California.” 可知，Pony Express 在1860年4月15日完成了它的第一次旅程。故填On April 15,1860. 2．根据“About 180 riders, 400 fast horses, and 190 pony express stations made up the pony express.” 可知，Pony Express 由大约180名骑手、400匹快马和190个驿站组成。故填About 180 riders, 400 fast horses, and 190 pony express stations. 3．根据“A day’s work was made up of about a 75-mile trip, with stops at several stations. The stations were about 10 to 15 miles apart.” 可以计算，骑手一天骑行75英里，驿站之间相距10到15英里，因此骑手一天至少会经过5个驿站（75 ÷ 15 = 5）。故填Five/5 (stations). 4．根据“After only about 19 months, the service closed its doors because of the opening of the telegraph.” 可知，Pony Express 关闭是因为电报的出现。故填Because of the opening of the telegraph (a device that has changed long-distance communication). 5．主观题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：By email/ phone/ letter.
