专题03 阅读理解（说明文） Passage 1（山东省聊城市茌平区2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） I’m Diana and have lived in my present house for 11 years. But I know very little about my neighbors. It’s not that I don’t want to know my neighbors. I am just quiet and shy. While some people are happy to invite the whole street to a dinner party, some of us will never be that outgoing. Here are a few ways for the rest of us. The easiest way to get to know the people in your neighborhood is to go outside. Spend time in your front yard at a certain time. Sit in front of the door at the same time every day and finally someone will say hello. If you feel strange just sitting there, pick up a hobby that you can do in your front yard, like reading, bird watching, or drinking tea. Then, you can look for community activities that you can drop into, chat a little, and leave whenever you want. When there is an activity going on, the focus won’t be on you, making it easier to communicate with people. Try five minutes, if you have to bail. If you are interested in gardening, you will notice the neighbors who are also into gardening. Ask them about their garden! Asking questions is the easiest way to connect because you are placing the focus on the other person. If you have a dog, talk to other dog people on your walks. If you have a kid, ask other parents about things to do with kids. If you are wondering why it’s good to be friendly with your neighbors, keep reading. 1．What makes Diana know little about her neighbors? A．A bad disease. B．Her character (性格). C．Her bad experiences.

In 2007, the 6th Asian Wınter Games was held in Changchun from January 28 to February 4. There’s exciting news for Harbın again—it will host the 9th Asian Winter Games in 2025. On January 11, 2024, the mascots (吉祥物) of the 9th Asian Winter Games made their public debut (首次亮相). Do you want to know what they are? Well, they are Siberian tigers “Binbin” and “Nini”. They were created by a team from the Academy of Fine Arts at Tsinghua University. The archetypes (原型) of them are two cute little Siberian tigers born in September 2023 at the Siberian Tiger Park in Harbin. In traditional Chinese culture, the tiger is a symbol of good luck, and its strong and brave characteristics are highly consistent (一致的) with the Olympic spirit. “Binbin” represents (代表) the ice events as he shows off his winter sportswear and shares his joy of ice dancing, while “Nini” represents the snow events, wearing traditional Chinese clothes.

Passage 6（山东省淄博市高青县2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） Being confident isn’t just about what you know or think; confidence comes from how you feel in your body too. If your shoulders are hunched (驼背的) and your head’s down, you feel differently to the way you feel when you’re sitting or standing straight with your head up and your shoulders back. Try it for yourself. How do you feel now? Research has found that when you’re hunched with your arms and legs crossed and looking down, your body releases (释放) chemicals that can make you feel more stressed or worried. Young people’s coach Maria Evans says your body and brain are connected. “When you stand with your back tall, legs apart (分开) and hands on hips, your body sends the message to your mind that you feel confident and strong.” Your body language doesn’t just affect how you feel. It tells other people how nervous or brave you feel too. Think about someone you see as confident. How do they carry themselves? Bring to mind a movie or TV character you admire for being brave or strong and picture how he sits, stands or walks. See if you can do the same. If you’re feeling nervous, perhaps before you sit a test or do something new, you can feel more confident by taking a power posture (姿势). Sit or stand up straight with both feet planted on the ground. Stretch your arms out above your head. Keep your shoulders down and your head up to help you keep the confident feeling. Evans suggests doing a power posture for a few minutes before school. Notice how it makes you feel and how your mood has changed. 22．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A．sitting straight is good B．keeping shoulders down is bad C．feelings are important to us D．postures may affect feelings 23．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

D．Brave persons. 25．Which of the following pictures shows a power posture? A． B． C． D． 26．What can we know from the passage ? A．Confidence comes from stress and worries. B．Confidence only comes from your knowledge. C．Confidence can also comes from the body language. D．Confidence comes from the mood. Passage 7（山东省德州市夏津县2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） Iceland is a northern European country with amazing natural beauty and oceans around. There are lots of volcanoes (火山). How is the life of the people here? In Iceland, there are two seasons. The short summer lasts from June to August. The long winter starts from September and ends the next May. Summer in Iceland is a golden season for tourists.

Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e-1. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. Kuafu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kuafu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called Kuafu Mission. Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2, 000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground. From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology. 32．In China, space scientists get ideas from ________ when naming satellites. ①old stories                            ②traditional projects ③ancient famous people                  ④popular inventions A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③④ 33．What do we know about Chang’e-1 according to the passage?

Passage 12（山东省菏泽市定陶区2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） “Made in China” is having its moment now—and it’s a fashionable one. The story of Chinese fashion began in 2011 when Feiyue and Huili, both Chinese sports shoe brands (品牌), suddenly got international attention. Their products were seen all over the world. Chinese sportswear brand Li Ning was at the New York Fashion Week in September, 2018. They showed their new designs—sweaters and jackets with Chinese characters. Shun Rein, managing director of China Market Research Group, said that the latest Chinese brands no longer catch customers’ eye by low price. He told CNN, “They are sure that they can go head to head with foreign brands.” Maybe it is because China’s young people are now more confident about their own culture. They don’t show immediate interest in western culture any more. “Today’s young people in China are crazy about Chinese cultural elements (元素),” Jin Qu, the manager of a clothing shopping website, said at a cultural festival in 2018. They like these elements printed on their clothes, even the brand picture of Laoganma in China, which was once seen as outside of fashion. But now young people are proud of these Chinese symbols. “In fact, many stars in the West are now interested in Chinese cultural elements in fashion. Rihanna, a US singer, for example, wore a Chinese red dress to the 2015 Met gale in New York. The dress was designed and made by Chinese designer Guo Pei. “We have to move from making to creating,” Chinese-American designer Aric Chen once told The New York Times. “We want to replace the words ‘Made in China’ with ‘Designed in China’.” 47．The new designs of Li Ning Company in September 2018 were ________.

Do they help you a lot in your life or bring you much fun? Here are some of the most useful inventions in families according to a survey. The most helpful and creative invention for kids is the reading pen. With the specially-designed pen, kids find it convenient and fun to learn.

Passage 14（山东省德州市乐陵市2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） ※ The science of hunger If you’ve ever been “hungry”— that is so hungry that it makes you angry—you’ll be happy to learn that scientists have begun studying the causes of this unpleasant condition and recommending (推荐) fixes. Researchers from the University of North Carolina asked some people of hunger to write a story about either their feelings or their daily lives while others not. After a stress (精神压力) experiment, it turned out that people who had written stories about feelings (and were therefore focused on these feelings) felt less stressed or angry, even if they were hungry. The main point: Realizing how you feel reduces the chance that hunger will influence your feelings. Mindfulness training can help with that. Of course, if you’ re hungry, eating also helps.※A photo a day keeps the doctor away Taking a photograph each day and sharing it online is a popular hobby. To find out how this habit influences health, British scientists did research by interviewing the creators of online photo journals. They discovered that daily photography improved interviewees’ lives in several ways: It made them consider the present, it pushed them to go for walks to get their photos, and it gave them chances to communicate with folks who share their interests. Moreover, it may help some fight against loneliness. “I’ll stop and take a photograph of this insect sitting on my computer or something. Just taking a moment is very good and beautiful I think,” one participant says. 55．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The story. B．The result. C．The experiment.

Passage 15（山东省临沂市兰陵县2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy. Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory. Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male (雄性) animal, considers as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species (物种) are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and frighten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away. If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away. Birds sing loudest in spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs. You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting (吸引) mates and setting up territories. 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 59．How does the writer explain birds’ singing? A．By telling a bird’s story. B．By describing birds’ daily life. C．By comparing birds with human. 60．Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is actually ________. A．an expression of happiness B．a way of warning C．an expression of anger 61．Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season? A．Because they want to invite more friends. B．Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away. C．Because they want to express their happiness. 62．What’s the best title of the passage? A．The reasons of birds’ singing.

Passage 16（山东省济宁市邹城市2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） No matter what you want to achieve in life, self-awareness (自我意识) is always important to success. Self-awareness can help you understand yourself better and allows you to understand why you feel and act in a certain way. However, how can you raise your level of self-awareness and achieve better results in life? Here are some ways. If you want to develop your self-awareness, the first thing you need to do is to set a goal. Having a goal and working on it allow you to know more about yourself. You will find your advantages and weaknesses as you take action and work towards your goals. ________. This can help you improve your mood(心情) when you are facing stress or sadness. Write down your thoughts and feelings to understand them more clearly. It allows you to step out of your life and look at it from a third-person view (视野). It also helps you look at a bigger picture of what is going on and how you can deal with it. Take self-assessment (自我评价)  tests. How do you find out what you want to be, do, and have in your life? How can you tell if your job or life is the one you are looking for? Taking a self-assessment test can help you find out some of the answers. 63．What should we do first when developing self-awareness? A．Find an interest. B．Take notes. C．Set a goal.

A．Some Ways to Develop Self-awareness B．The Importance of Self-awareness C．Some Influences of Self-awareness D．The Explanation for Self-awareness Passage 1（山东省枣庄市薛城区2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） Have you ever imagined being able to communicate with your pet at home and let them understand everything you say? It sounds too good to be true, but scientists have started using artificial intelligence (AI) to help communicate with animals. AI allows humans to use technology to watch and understand the sounds and signals (信号) animals use so we can try to speak back to them. Professor Karen Bakker said that AI is already helping humans communicate with bats (蝙蝠) and bees. This could change what we know about nature and our non-human relationships. Bakker said AI helped decode (解码) recordings of animals talking to one another. She said trying to communicate in their language could be better than to teach them to use human sign language. Bakker explained how scientist Yossi Yoyel had used recordings and AI to understand bats. “Bats argue over food; they communicate differently between genders (性别) ; they have their names or ‘signature calls’,” she said. “But unlike human mothers who raise their voices when talking to babies, mother bats lower the voice.” A computer can be trained to listen like a bat, but this can never be done with the human ear. With bees, the computer both listens and watches the bees’ body movement to understand what they are communicating. “When bees ‘speak’ to one another, they use body movements, as well as the sounds, to communicate,” Bakker said. She said scientists now know how bees say things such as “hush (be quiet)” or “stop”. Scientist Tim Landgraf even created a robot bee that entered a hive (蜂巢) and it was able to communicate to other bees when it wanted them to stop doing something or fly. So, are you looking forward to communicating with animals one day? 1．Why does the writer mention bats and bees? A．To give a direction of the future study. B．To show the achievements scientists have got. C．To doubt the findings scientist have reported. D．To change people’s opinions about the two animals. 2．What is the fifth paragraph mainly about? A．Scientists’ ways of communicating with bats. B．Differences between bats and humans in communication. C．Scientists’ findings about communication between bats through AI. D．Advantages of communicating with animals in their language. 3．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Bees mostly use sound to communicate with others. B．Scientists have already understood a bit of bees’ language. C．Bees’ body movements are very difficult to understand. D．Scientists have made a real bee to communicate with other bees. Passage 2（山东省临沂市平邑县2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） ① Elton John once sang: “Sorry seems to be the hardest word.” But in Canada, there aren’t many words that are more easily or commonly spoken like sorry. Or, that’s the way it seems, say visitors to the country. And it’s something that Canadians admit themselves. ②Canadians apologize for coming to work early, for driving past a car on a street, for feeding you more than they should and sometimes to even themselves! Then why do Canadians apologize so much, even when they don’t need to? ③It’s part of Canadian culture, say some people. That doesn’t mean other cultures are less polite. But saying sorry does at least show you’re trying to be nice—and many people think Canada is a polite country, so its citizens may be trying to protect that idea. ④ For many Canadians, apologizing has become something they do without thinking. Even if someone walks into a Canadian in the street and the Canadian isn’t at fault, the Canadian is likely to say sorry. It could be a way to avoid conflict (冲突)—it’s often easier to say sorry than to shout at someone and have a fight. ⑤ But when Canadians say sorry, that doesn’t always mean they’re really sorry. Sometimes it means they realize that something bad has happened, but not saying they think it’s their fault. ⑥ That idea is even in Canadian law. For example, the Apology Act in the province of Ontario says that making an apology does not mean you’re admitting you’ re at fault. ⑦So how do Canadians apologize and mean it? A study found that only 62% of Canadians actually think “I am sorry” is a good apology. Instead, 80% think “I sincerely apologize” is the best thing to say. 4．Why is Elton John’s song mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．To introduce the topic. B．To show the singer was wrong. C．To make the readers think deeply. 5．Which paragraphs tell the deep reasons behind the Canadian Sorry? A．①② B．②③ C．③④ 6．What does the Apology Act in Ontario say about making an apology? A．It doesn’t mean you admit you’re wrong. B．It should be accepted by law. C．It can be used to avoid risk. 7．In which part of a magazine can we probably read the passage? A．Travel. B．Culture. C．History. Passage 3（山东省聊城市阳谷四校2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo. The next important date in the history of photography (摄影) was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a daguerreotype. Soon, other people began to use the way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains. In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them. For example, some in the United States worked so hard. Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike (栩栩如生的) . Photography had also become one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just pictures of the real world. They showed different feelings, like other kinds of art. 8．Who took the first photo in the world? A．Daguerre. B．Niepce. C．Mathew. D．The writer. 9．What is the daguerreotype? A．A Frenchman. B．A kind of camera. C．A photographer. D．A kind of picture. 10．When was photography developed according to the passage? A．In 1826. B．In 1837. C．In about 1840. D．In last century. 11．Why was Mathew Brady a famous photographer? A．Because his pictures were lifelike. B．Because he was an American. C．Because his photos were not real. D．Because he loved photography. 12．What does this passage mainly tell us? A．An Introduction to Photography. B．Great Photographers in the 19th century. C．History of photography in the 19th century. D．Photography developed in the 20th century. Passage 4（山东省聊城市阳谷四校2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） Most of us spend all day at school or work. After a long and busy day, all we want to do is return to a comfortable home. Smart technology can turn any home into a nice place to live. Smart homes have been around for some time. Scottish company Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10 in 1975. It allows household devices (家用设备), such as lights and alarms, to communicate with each other by using radio waves (无线电波), according to AVSystemsMag, a specialized magazine in the audiovisual (AV，视听的) and automation industry. Of course, 5G network connectivity has made smart homes much more sophisticated (复杂的巧妙) than X10. Perhaps the most widespread smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant (语音激活助手). Google Home and Amazon’s Alexa allow users to interact with nearly any device in their home simply by speaking a few words. This is especially convenient for children and people with physical disabilities, as they can finish tasks that would normally be too difficult, according to How-To Geek. Common household appliances (家用电器) can become “smart” as well. For example, a smart trash bin can keep track of the things you’ve thrown away and place an online order for new items, while smart refrigerators can create dinner recipes (菜谱) based on the vegetables that are being kept inside, according to HowStuffWorks. But it’s not just about convenience. Smart homes are also good for the environment. By regularly checking your energy use and automatically (自动地) turning off lights and other devices that you’re not using, smart homes can lower so much electricity you use overall. Using less energy means that we use fewer natural resources, which is good for the environment. 13．X10 technology allows household devices to communicate by ________. A．using lights B．using voices C．using radio waves D．connecting to the 5G network 14．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Voice-activated assistants. B．How smart homes are built. C．The difference between X10 and 5G technologies. D．Technologies designed for children and the disabled. 15．How are smart homes good for the environment? A．They use recyclable household appliances. B．They are built with special materials. C．They have smart trash bins. D．They help us save energy. 16．Which of the advantages is NOT mentioned about smart homes? A．Comfortable. B．Convenient. C．Energy-saving. D．Relaxing. 17．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Smart homes in the future B．A perfect home C．Live a smart life D．The city of tomorrow Passage 5（山东省济南市2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） Scientists at Stanford University have found a way to make the skin (皮肤) of living mice turn clear by rubbing (擦) a common yellow food dye (染料) called tartrazine (柠檬黄) on the mouse’s skin. The discovery could one day help doctors see inside human bodies without cutting them open. The scientists mixed tartrazine with water to make the liquid. When they tested this mixture on very thin slices of chicken, the chicken began to turn clear. Next, the researchers decided to try the coloring on the skin of living mice. First they got the hair out of the way. Then, they rubbed the liquid on the skin of the mice. In just a few minutes, the skin of the mice became see-through. Using the liquid, the scientists were able to see inside a mouse’s brain. When the liquid was washed off, the skin returned to normal. To understand how the new discovery works, it’s helpful to think about how light travels through different materials. Light travels in a straight line, unless it runs into something. Then, it usually bends (弯曲). Glass is easy to see through because light only takes a slight bend when it goes through the glass. But skin isn’t like glass. Skin is made of many different parts, like water, fat and so on. These different materials make it hard to see through skin. Tartrazine makes the watery parts of the skin more like the other areas. When the light mostly bends the same way, the skin becomes see-through. Guosong Hong, one of the leaders of the research, says that if something similar could be made to work on humans, it could lead to exciting medical development. The scientists say more work needs to be done before a similar method can be used on humans. The dye only works on thin skin, and human skin is much thicker than the skin of mice. 18．What did the scientists find at Stanford University? A．A way to treat skin problems. B．A way to make the mice grow quickly. C．A way to help doctors cut human bodies open. D．A way to make the skin of living mice become clear. 19．How was the result of the test according to paragraph 2? A．Unexpected. B．Meaningless. C．Incorrect. D．Successful. 20．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．How light travels through glass. B．The importance of tartrazine. C．How tartrazine makes the skin see-through. D．The difference between skin and glass. 21．What is the value of the research at Stanford University? A．It’s only useful for animal skin studies. B．It could improve medical study. C．It helps understand light and materials better. D．It provides a way to make glass bend. 22．In which part of the newspaper can you find the text? A．Science. B．Sport. C．Culture. D．History. Passage 6（山东省德州市陵城区2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） Chinese culture has great attraction for people both at home and abroad. We have seen many people from around the world express their love for Chinese culture in different forms. A growing number of foreigners have even, chosen to live in China for its culture. Interested in Chinese classical literature, Canadian artist Brandon Collins-Green or Lin Buran in Chinese expresses his understanding of A Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xueqin and Chinese poems through thousands of paintings. Often painting throughout the night, he has created more than 4,200 works. Living alone in the center of Nanchang, he has come a long way since he first came here in 2015 to study ancient Chinese literature. Brandon loves learning about the lifestyle of ancient Chinese people. “So far, I have read the novel three times, translated most of its poems, songs, lantern riddles (谜语), and dialogues into English, and completed over 1 million words of articles and 2,000 related paintings during my PhD studies,” said Brandon with pride and satisfaction. Timur Kuvatov, director-general and editor-in-chief of the Kazakhstan Today News Agency, is a Chinese kung fu fan. He has won kung fu championships a lot of times and also served as a coach for the Kazakhstan kung fu team. “Chinese kung fu is a treasure of Chinese culture. It is not just a sport but also reflects the Chinese way of dealing with people, their understanding of life, nature and the world,” he said. Vincent Cazeneuve, known as Wensen Qi in Chinese, is a French artist devoted to lacquer (漆器) creation. He came to live in Chongqing in 2009. His works have been shown in art institutions both in and outside of China, and his fans have even collected some of them. What is the charm of Chinese culture that attracts these people?

The workers on board of a special ship nearby was about to release about 230,000 Chinese sturgeons (中华鲟) back into the waterway, where the fish naturally lay theır eggs. The event’s organizer, the CTGC (China Three Gorges Corporation), also supports a research center to make sure such releases are successful. Set up in 1982, the center’s job is to monitor the level of biodiversity (生物多样性) in the waters near the dam, the world’s largest hydropower facility (水力发电设备). The sturgeon-releasing event was part, of a long-running effort to protect the Yangtze River’s ecosystem. The Chinese sturgeon is known for its hard, protective scale (鳞甲). People call it a “living fossil” (活化石) because its long history and physical characteristics which have remained almost unchanged over millions of years. But sadly, because of overfishing, pollution, and the effects of dam, the wild sturgeon population in China has dropped to dangerously low levels. In response, people have held more release events and put more effort into breeding (繁殖) more of the fish. These release events are easier said than done, however. In the early days, the survival rate of freed sturgeons was quite low. Jiang Wei, an engineer at the research center, said that in 1985 the people who did this job before him started to study how to breed sturgeon, but there weren’t any books or information about it at that time. Over the next 10 years, they found the key factors affecting the well-being of young fish, such as food, water temperature and quality, and did experiments to prevent diseases. “By 1995, the body length of the released fish had reached more than 30 centimeters, and more of them survived in the wild.” said Jiang. Thanks to their continued efforts,21 million endangered fish have been released into the Yangtze since the CTGC was set up about 30 years ago, according to data provided by the organization. This is a great achievement in protecting the river’s weak ecosystem. 28．What happened near the Yangtze River in Yichang, Hubei Province? A．Some surgeons laying their eggs. B．Several workers cleaning the river. C．230,000 Chinese sturgeons being released. D．A meeting about water life variety being held. 29．How does the CTGC help protect the river and its animals? A．It makes sure no one fishes too much. B．It builds a big dam to make electricity. C．It helps to clean up the never every year. D．It offers a place to keep an eye on water life. 30．Why is the Chinese sturgeon called a “living fossil”? A．It helps protect the Yangtze River’s ecosystem. B．It has hard and protective scale. C．It is the biggest fish in the Yangtze. D．It has a long and almost unchanged history. 31．What’s the main challenge for the releasing event at first? A．The lack of information and resources on sturgeon farming. B．The high cost of breeding and releasing sturgeon into the wild. C．The unwillingness of local communities to support the project. D．The bad effects of pollution and dams on the river’s ecosystem. 32．What is the passage mainly about? A．A plan for protecting the Chinese sturgeon. B．Water-based electricity production in the area. C．The reasons to protect the Yangtze River’s ecosystem. D．Volunteer work to help clean up the Yangtze River. Passage 8（山东省济宁市邹城市2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） ①Could you imagine being in a car driven by a computer, not a human? Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. Since August, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen. ②Why do we develop self-driving cars? Self-driving cars have many advantages. They use computers to sense the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer crowded roads and better parking of cars. For disabled or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more easily. ③According to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year, more than 1.35 million people are killed on roads around the world. Many more are hurt in accidents. Self driving cars could reduce road accidents by 90 percent and save governments a lot of money. The main cause of car accidents is human error (错误). By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose attention like humans do. ④But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react as fast as a human driver can. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars wouldn’t see the lines on the road easily. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system would be broken by someone, causing it to crash or change its direction. ⑤It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common sight on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen. 33．According to the passage, it is ________ to develop self-driving cars for disabled or blind people. A．difficult B．creative C．helpful D．unnecessary 34．What does the underlined part in the third paragraph mean? A．Self-driving cars would cause 90 percent road accidents of all. B．Self-driving cars would cause 10 road accidents among 100 ones. C．90 percent of self-driving cars would cause road accidents. D．Self-driving cars could reduce the number of road accidents from 100 to 10. 35．The purpose of the passage is to tell us ________. A．how self-driving cars work B．why self-driving cars were invented C．what we should do to use self-driving cars safely D．that self-driving cars bring both convenience and problems 36．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A．B． C． D． Passage 9（山东省德州市德城区2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） China once again proved (证明) its ability to change the world with its new four great inventions: high-speed railways, electronic payments (电子支付), shared bicycles and online shopping. According to a survey, young people from other countries like the four modern ways of life very much. “The new four great inventions are all related to China’s high-tech (高科技) inventions. They improved—the quality of people’s lives,” said Wu Hao, a manager in a company. China has the largest mobile use in the world. “My wallet is no longer in use. I can buy and eat whatever I want simply with my phone. Even vegetable sellers are using mobile payment.” said Lin Jinlong, a Chinese student. The bikes themselves are not new, but the bike-sharing is based on mobile payment, big data (数据) and so on. Shared bikes are making public transportation more convenient. They are encouraging people to be more active. A number of foreigners are happy about their experience of traveling by Chinese high-speed train from Beijing to Tianjin. It’s more than 100 km away, but the journey takes only half an hour. 37．Who invented the new four great inventions? A．Bi Sheng. B．Lin Jinlong. C．A foreigner. D．We don’t know. 38．Why does Lin Jinlong in the passage no longer use his wallet? A．Because his wallet is broken. B．Because he uses mobile payment. C．Because he lost his wallet.

Passage 11（山东省烟台栖霞市2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） In December 2020, the “quiet carriage” service was first introduced on some trains of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway and the Chengdu-Chongqing high-speed railway. Up to June 2024, this service has developed to the Beijing-Guangzhou, Beijing-Harbin, Shanghai-Kunming and other high-speed railways. In the “quiet carriages”, videos are silent and phone calls are in a low voice. Doors at both ends of the carriage are closed to reduce noise from outside. During the trip, passengers must wear earphones or turn off speakers. They also need to leave their seats to make or answer calls, and their phones should be set to silent or vibration mode (振动模式). For those travelling with children, they must take care of them and keep them quiet. Mr. Li, a Chengdu local, said, “I make at least one round trip a week between Chengdu and Chongqing for work. I sometimes need to focus on my work or get some rest during the hour-long trip. The ‘quiet carriage’ is a good choice for me.” “When I wanted to buy the tickets, I first saw the choice for the ‘quiet carriage’, and I wanted to give it a shot,” said Miss Mou, who took the train from Beijing to Shanghai. “When I entered the carriage for the first time, signs reminding passengers to keep quiet were everywhere, and it was really much quieter than the other carriages.” Experts say that the “quiet carriage” service provides passengers with more value-added choices. It helps passengers to follow public orders and respect the rights of others. Furthermore, it creates a more civilized travel environment. 46．If a little boy cries loudly in a “quiet carriage”, his parents had better first ________. A．ask others for help B．take him out of the carriage C．wait until he calms down D．run a health check on him 47．What does the underlined part “give it a shot” probably mean? A．Shut it off. B．Make a mess. C．Take a break. D．Have a try. 48．Why does the author mention Mr. Li and Miss Mou? A．To show that the “quiet carriage” service is well received. B．To tell readers what makes the “quiet carriages” so special. C．To explain that the passengers there mostly work in business. D．To call on more passengers to enjoy the “quiet carriage” service. 49．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The importance of the social order. B．The need to build a railway network. C．The advantages of introducing “quiet carriages”. D．The development of our country’s railway service. Passage 12（山东省烟台栖霞市2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） ① Qingxu County in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, has been a major production area for aged vinegar since ancient times. The aged vinegar made there was known far and wide and was carried by Shanxi merchants during the Ming and Qing dynasties. ②The production process, which dates back more than 3,000 years, must go through at least five steps. The newly made vinegar has a light color, but as the years go by, it becomes thick and dark. The aging process lasts at least one year, which is where the name “aged vinegar” comes from. ③To this day, the work is still mostly done by hand. Inside a local workshop in Qingxu, which is built in an ancient style, workers dressed in Ming Dynasty clothing are busy performing traditional vinegar brewing tasks. “They are not actors, but real workers,” says Mr Zhang, manager of the workshop. “With the rapid development of our company, our customers have shown increasing interest in knowing how the aged vinegar is made, as well as its cultural background.” ④To meet high standards, new machines and technology have been added to the production process. In the workshop, 190 fermentation tanks (发酵罐) are lined up like soldiers. “Both fermentation and smoking (熏) tasks can be achieved without human help. We even use 5G technology for digital control,” Mr Zhang adds. “While the vinegar is fermented by machine, it still goes through the traditional aging process, so its taste remains unchanged.” ⑤Still, in recent years, the vinegar industry in Qingxu has been adapting (适应) to the times. While it continues its tradition, it has welcomed new ideas, such as ice cream with vinegar and tangyuan with vinegar fillings. 50．What leads to the vinegar being called aged vinegar? A．Its aging process. B．Its dark colour. C．Its long history. D．Its sour taste. 51．Why do the workers wear Ming Dynasty clothing? A．To complete difficult tasks without human help. B．To learn new technology in the production process. C．To let customers enjoy how the aged vinegar is made.

It’s one of the most talked-about fashion trends (趋势) for 2023. However, is there any science behind this? “Dopamine dressing” came out from the book Dress Your Best Life. American fashion psychologist (心理学家), Dawnn Karen wrote this book in 2020. In the book, dopamine dressing is about wearing colorful clothing to get more dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical in our brain. This kind of chemical makes people feel good. Our brain gives it out when we eat delicious food, play with our pets, listen to our favorite songs, after we exercise or when we win a game. According to Science Focus Magazine, there are studies that show a relationship between the colors of the clothes we wear and how we act and feel. One study found that wearing red can bring better physical performance. It also showed that bright colors can make people feel active. One more study showed that wearing green can help people relax because it is the color of nature. Yellow, the color of summer and warmth, can bring people happiness. But there are some problems with these studies, as people from different cultures have different ideas about dressing and colors. In a word, “dopamine dressing” shows that we can wear colorful clothes to get more dopamine and feel good. Dressing is more than just a trend. It’s also a way of showing ourselves. So, next time you’re getting dressed, think about which colors will bring out yourself best. 54．What is dopamine dressing according to the text? A．A way of dressing. B．A kind of chemical. C．A book about dressing. D．A fashion trend for 2020. 55．Our brain may give out dopamine when we ________.

B．The importance of dopamine. C．Dopamine dressing and feelings. D．The way of choosing colorful clothes. Passage 14（山东省烟台市芝罘区2024-2025学年九年级上期末 ） Manners are very important in our daily life. There are many different customs and habits among different countries. We must find out and follow their customs so that they will not think us ill-mannered. Here are examples of the things that a person with good education does or does not do. A person with good manners is always popular, but it is troublesome to a person with bad manners. If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you will not move before the host says “Come in, please.” After you enter the room, you would not sit down until the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is put on the tea table before you or sent to your hand, you should say “Thank you” and receive it with two hands, not one hand, or they will think you are ill-mannered. Before entering a house in Japan, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay house, a visitor never finishes the food on the table. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a visitor always finishes the drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it. The host will be pleased with that. You have to give your present in public in the Middle East to show it is not a bribe (贿赂). But it’s good manners to give your present in private in Asia. You mustn’t give knives in Latin America because it suggests that you want to cut off the relationship. You mustn’t give your food or drink to Arabia because it suggests that you think your host isn’t offering you enough to eat and drink. “Come any time” means “I want you to visit me” in India. If you don’t suggest a time at once, the India will think you are refusing the invitation. But if English people say “Come any time”, they will think you are impolite if you start fixing (确定) a date. 58．It is important to learn that different countries and people have different manners because ________. A．we can eat and drink well B．we can know what to follow when we go to other countries C．we can be taught some good examples D．we won’t be afraid of people in those countries 59．In China, you shouldn’t ________ before the host says “Come in, please”. A．knock at the door B．run away C．come into the room D．open the door 60．In a Malay house, a guest leaves a little food to show that ________. A．he has enjoyed it B．he doesn’t like the food C．he needs some drink D．he can’t eat any more 61．Which is TRUE according to the passage? A．It’s good manners to give presents in public in China. B．It’s good manners to give knives in Latin America. C．It’s good manners to give some food to Arabia. D．If English people say “Come any time”, it’s just a lip service (客套话).

The middle school is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won’t only have high marks. They should not dye (染) their hair, smoke or drink because they are students. The following are some of the new rules. Have you ever copied someone else’s work in an exam? Don’t do that again!

Passage 16（山东省烟台市芝罘区2024-2025学年九年级上期末 ） To improve the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles (EVs电动汽车). Among them, China is taking a leading role and has created the world’s largest EV market according to the Wall Street Journal. Last year, over 40 percent of the 753,000 EVs sold worldwide were sold in China, more than twice as many as the number sold in the US, according to the International Energy Agency. Chinese drivers are already big fans of EVs. Chinese auto companies including BYD and BAIC (北汽集团) rank among the top in the world in EV sales. “Charging an electric car is cheaper than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas,” said Wu Hao, who bought an electric car from BAIC this year. However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging piles (充电桩) and the cars can’t go far before needing to be recharged. Some of these problems are being solved. In 2014, China had 31,000 charging piles, according to Xinhua News Agency. Now China has the world’s largest EV charging network, with more than 167,000 charging piles in total, according to the Economic Daily. Developing EVs is one of many efforts China has made to reduce pressure on its environment after the government promised to stop increases in carbon dioxide emissions (二氧化碳排放量) by 2030. “As China goes, so will the world’s auto industry,” the Wall Street Journal said. China has taken a leading role in the world’s electric vehicle industry. 65．According to the article, what role does China play in the global electric vehicle market? A．The smallest electric vehicle market. B．The largest electric vehicle market. C．The cheapest electric vehicle market.

Passage 17（山东省菏泽市成武县2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） Gordon Hempton is an ecologist (生态学家). He has spent more than 40 years studying natural sounds and saving quiet. Why save quiet? Today, man-made noise seems to be everywhere. It keeps us away from natural sounds and is bad for our health. However, quiet helps us a lot. Like nature, it helps us find peace in our minds. But the number of naturally quiet places is going down quickly. Hempton became interested in natural sounds many years ago. One day, he was driving and got tired. So he stopped his car and found a place to rest. Then the rain poured down, and Hempton stayed and listened. “I stayed away from all man-made noise then and only heard the rain and animals making sounds,” he said. “I was surprised.” In the following years, Hempton tried to find naturally quiet places and record natural sounds. In 2005, he found a dream place in a forest park. He did a lot to keep the quiet there. However, in 2018, man-made noise finally broke it. This made him realize that man-made noise breaks not only the quiet of this place but also that of the world. So, he started the Quiet Parks International (QPI) in the same year. He wanted more people to take action to save quiet. Now, Hempton and his team are busy saving quiet. Thanks to them, we can hear some of the world’s finest recordings of natural sounds and keep some best quiet places. 69．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．Ways to save quiet. B．Reasons for saving quiet. C．Where Hempton saves quiet. 70．Hempton became interested in natural sounds after ________. A．meeting an ecologist in a forest park B．listening to a recording of natural sounds C．listening to the sounds of the rain and animals 71．Hempton started QPI ________. A．in 2018 B．in a park C．to remember his dream place 72．The writer wrote the passage mainly to ________. A．ask us to make less noise B．advise us to be an ecologist C．tell us the story of an ecologist Passage 18（山东省青岛市崂山区2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） As we grow older, we may forget things we once knew. However, according to a new study, the music we have listened to may stay with us forever. The study was led by Sarah Sauve, a music scientist at the University of Lincoln in the UK. She found around 120 healthy adults aged from 18 to 86 and asked them to listen to three parts of music taken from musical pieces to be performed at a concert. They then attended the concert and made notes whenever they heard those parts playing. The results showed that everyone, no matter how old they were, recognized the music parts equally well. Scientists believe that this is because music turns on the amygdala (杏仁体). “We know from general memory research that the amygdala operates a little bit like an importance stamp.” Steffen Herff, a scientist at the University of Sydney in Australia, told Nature. In other words, the brain considers music as something so important that it must be stored safely for a long time. Musical memories are also kept from being influenced by time by other parts of the brain. For example, the cortex (大脑皮层) responsible for movement responds to a song’s rhythm (节奏), while the cortex responsible for hearing processes the pitch (音调). In other words, music has the power to “light up” the whole brain, said Science Daily. Therefore, music can be used to “unlock memories” in patients suffering from neural disorders (神经系统疾病), said Assal Habibi, a researcher at the University of Southern California in the US, in an interview with the university. Habibi is trying to help patients with Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) reconnect to their “sense of self” by music. “When you hear nostalgic (怀旧的) music, there’s activity all over your brain, but most particularly in the part that is normally active when we' re daydreaming. It is also active when we are thinking about our own stories.” said Habibi. 73．What’s the focus of the study led by Sarah Sauve? A．How memories change with age. B．The advantages of listening to music. C．How age influences musical memories. D．The role of the amygdala in the brain. 74．Why does music stay in our memory according to the study? A．Because it’s easy and great to sing along to. B．Because it’s connected with strong feelings. C．Because it’s played by musicians at concerts. D．Because the brain treats it as something important. 75．How does music influence the brain according to the passage? A．It only activates the amygdala. B．It is kept from the cortex activity. C．It can “light up” the whole brain. D．It has no influence on brain activity. 76．What is Assal Habibi’s goal in using music with Alzheimer’s patients? A．To improve their musical skills. B．To help them remember their past. C．To reconnect them to their “sense of self”. D．To sense their Alzheimer’s disease. 77．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Music has a lasting influence on memory. B．Music can be useful to wake up the brain. C．Music provides a form of communication. D．Music causes people to dream about their past. Passage 19（山东省菏泽市鄄城县2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence (智力) and feelings. In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times, people in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March. The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 198 report by scientists, the IQ (智商)of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August). Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger. Low air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃. Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem. 78．What can cause problems in health according to the passage? A．Very hot and wet weather. B．February or March. C．Low air pressure. 79．A report shows that people may have more intelligence when ________ comes. A．August B．A very strong wind C．winter 80．What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3? A．weather influences people’s behavior B．People feel good on low-pressure days C．IQ changes when the weather changes 81．What is the basic structure of this passage? (Paragraph 1—①, Paragraph 2—②,…) A． B． C． Passage 20（山东省济南市莱芜区2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） British people are big tea drinkers. It is a tradition in Britain to drink tea for different occasions and reasons. People have it for breakfast, for when guests visit, and for tea breaks at work. People even “have a cuppa” when they talk about their personal problems. However, research from The Tea Group shows that herbal tea, fruit tea and other teas have become more popular than traditional English breakfast tea. Researchers carried out a survey of more than 2,000 tea lovers. Over half of people said their favourite tea was not the traditional variety. Over a fifth of people chose green tea as their favourite brew (饮品). Just over 20 percent said Earl Grey was their number one. Sales of traditional tea in the UK have been declining (减少). Three years ago, a survey found that 54 percent of the British preferred English breakfast tea. The new research shows that breakfast tea is likely to continue to decline in popularity. The researchers has found many other things about tea-drinking habits in the UK. The biggest reason for drinking tea is to relax. A quarter of the British drink up to 10 cups a day. They seem to love milky and sugary tea. Around 85 percent of people who drink Earl Grey and English breakfast put milk in it. Nearly 45 percent of people sweeten their tea with sugar. Surprisingly, people with a sweet tooth put three teaspoons of sugar in their cup. 82．What’s the main idea of paragraph 1? A．When do British people drink tea? B．Why do British people drink tea?

But I know very little about my neighbors. It’s not that I don’t want to know my neighbors. I am just quiet and shy. While some people are happy to invite the whole street to a dinner party, some of us will never be that outgoing. Here are a few ways for the rest of us. The easiest way to get to know the people in your neighborhood is to go outside. Spend time in your front yard at a certain time. Sit in front of the door at the same time every day and finally someone will say hello. If you feel strange just sitting there, pick up a hobby that you can do in your front yard, like reading, bird watching, or drinking tea. Then, you can look for community activities that you can drop into, chat a little, and leave whenever you want. When there is an activity going on, the focus won’t be on you, making it easier to communicate with people. Try five minutes, if you have to bail. If you are interested in gardening, you will notice the neighbors who are also into gardening. Ask them about their garden! Asking questions is the easiest way to connect because you are placing the focus on the other person. If you have a dog, talk to other dog people on your walks. If you have a kid, ask other parents about things to do with kids.

If your shoulders are hunched (驼背的) and your head’s down, you feel differently to the way you feel when you’re sitting or standing straight with your head up and your shoulders back. Try it for yourself. How do you feel now? Research has found that when you’re hunched with your arms and legs crossed and looking down, your body releases (释放) chemicals that can make you feel more stressed or worried. Young people’s coach Maria Evans says your body and brain are connected. “When you stand with your back tall, legs apart (分开) and hands on hips, your body sends the message to your mind that you feel confident and strong.” Your body language doesn’t just affect how you feel. It tells other people how nervous or brave you feel too. Think about someone you see as confident. How do they carry themselves? Bring to mind a movie or TV character you admire for being brave or strong and picture how he sits, stands or walks. See if you can do the same. If you’re feeling nervous, perhaps before you sit a test or do something new, you can feel more confident by taking a power posture (姿势). Sit or stand up straight with both feet planted on the ground. Stretch your arms out above your head. Keep your shoulders down and your head up to help you keep the confident feeling. Evans suggests doing a power posture for a few minutes before school. Notice how it makes you feel and how your mood has changed. 22．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A．sitting straight is good B．keeping shoulders down is bad C．feelings are important to us D．postures may affect feelings 23．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．Chemicals in your arms make you worried. B．A correct posture makes you feel more confident. C．Young people prefer standing with their back tall. D．Your body sends the message to keep you calm. 24．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．TV characters. B．Nervous feelings. C．Confident people. D．Brave persons. 25．Which of the following pictures shows a power posture? A． B． C． D． 26．What can we know from the passage ? A．Confidence comes from stress and worries. B．Confidence only comes from your knowledge. C．Confidence can also comes from the body language. D．Confidence comes from the mood. 【答案】22．D 23．B 24．C 25．A 26．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自信不仅仅来自于你知道什么或怎么想，它也来自于你对自己身体的感受。你的肢体语言不仅影响你的感受，而且告诉其他人你有多紧张或勇敢。因此，我们可以通过肢体语言变得更加自信。 22．推理判断题。根据第二段“If your shoulders are hunched (驼背的) and your head’s down, you feel differently to the way you feel when you’re sitting or standing straight with your head up and your shoulders back. Try it for yourself. How do you feel now?”可知，本段主要讲述了姿势可能会影响你的感受。故选D。 23．细节理解题。根据第三段“Research has found that when you’re hunched with your arms and legs crossed and looking down, your body releases (释放) chemicals that can make you feel more stressed or worried. Young people’s coach Maria Evans says your body and brain are connected. ‘When you stand with your back tall, legs apart (分开) and hands on hips, your body sends the message to your mind that you feel confident and strong.’”可知，一个正确的姿势会让你感到更加自信。故选B。 24．词句猜测题。根据第四段“Your body language doesn’t just affect how you feel. It tells other people how nervous or brave you feel too. Think about someone you see as confident. How do they carry themselves?”可知，they指代的是“你看作是自信的人”，即“自信的人”。故选C。 25．推理判断题。根据第五段“If you’re feeling nervous, perhaps before you sit a test or do something new, you can feel more confident by taking a power posture (姿势). Sit or stand up straight with both feet planted on the ground. Stretch your arms out above your head. Keep your shoulders down and your head up to help you keep the confident feeling.”可知，A选项“坐直或站直，双脚着地。双臂举过头顶。保持肩膀下垂，抬头”属于有力姿势，其余三个选项都不是有力姿势。故选A。 26．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Being confident isn’t just about what you know or think; confidence comes from how you feel in your body too.”及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了自信不仅仅来自于你知道什么或怎么想，它也来自于你对自己身体的感受，因此自信也来自于肢体语言。故选C。 Passage 7（山东省德州市夏津县2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） Iceland is a northern European country with amazing natural beauty and oceans around.

Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e-1. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. Kuafu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kuafu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called Kuafu Mission. Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2, 000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground.

Chinese sportswear brand Li Ning was at the New York Fashion Week in September, 2018. They showed their new designs—sweaters and jackets with Chinese characters. Shun Rein, managing director of China Market Research Group, said that the latest Chinese brands no longer catch customers’ eye by low price. He told CNN, “They are sure that they can go head to head with foreign brands.” Maybe it is because China’s young people are now more confident about their own culture.

They like these elements printed on their clothes, even the brand picture of Laoganma in China, which was once seen as outside of fashion. But now young people are proud of these Chinese symbols. “In fact, many stars in the West are now interested in Chinese cultural elements in fashion. Rihanna, a US singer, for example, wore a Chinese red dress to the 2015 Met gale in New York.

Researchers from the University of North Carolina asked some people of hunger to write a story about either their feelings or their daily lives while others not. After a stress (精神压力) experiment, it turned out that people who had written stories about feelings (and were therefore focused on these feelings) felt less stressed or angry, even if they were hungry. The main point: Realizing how you feel reduces the chance that hunger will influence your feelings. Mindfulness training can help with that. Of course, if you’ re hungry, eating also helps.※A photo a day keeps the doctor away Taking a photograph each day and sharing it online is a popular hobby. To find out how this habit influences health, British scientists did research by interviewing the creators of online photo journals. They discovered that daily photography improved interviewees’ lives in several ways: It made them consider the present, it pushed them to go for walks to get their photos, and it gave them chances to communicate with folks who share their interests. Moreover, it may help some fight against loneliness. “I’ll stop and take a photograph of this insect sitting on my computer or something. Just taking a moment is very good and beautiful I think,” one participant says. 55．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The story. B．The result. C．The experiment. D．Stress. 56．What advice is helpful to reduce the influence of hunger? A．Take photos. B．Mindfulness training. C．Do research. D．Do experiments. 57．According to the passage, what is so good about taking photos? A．It can be posted online. B．It influences people’s study a lot. C．It encourages more communication. D．It helps people memories the past. 58．Which column (栏目) of the magazine is the passage probably from? A．Culture. B．Hobbies. C．Science.

Mindfulness training can help with that.”可知，正念训练有助于减少饥饿的影响。故选B。 57．细节理解题。根据第四段“They discovered that daily photography improved interviewees’ lives in several ways: It made them consider the present, it pushed them to go for walks to get their photos, and it gave them chances to communicate with folks who share their interests.”可知，拍照可以鼓励更多的交流。故选C。 58．推理判断题。根据第一段“If you’ve ever been ‘hungry’— that is so hungry that it makes you angry-you’ll be happy to learn that scientists have begun studying the causes of this unpleasant condition and recommending (推荐) fixes.”可知，文章介绍的是关于饥饿感的研究，属于科学研究范畴，所以文章可能选自杂志的“科学”栏目。故选C。 Passage 15（山东省临沂市兰陵县2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy. Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory. Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male (雄性) animal, considers as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species (物种) are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and frighten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away. If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away. Birds sing loudest in spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs. You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting (吸引) mates and setting up territories. 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 59．How does the writer explain birds’ singing? A．By telling a bird’s story. B．By describing birds’ daily life. C．By comparing birds with human. 60．Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is actually ________. A．an expression of happiness B．a way of warning C．an expression of anger 61．Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season? A．Because they want to invite more friends. B．Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away. C．Because they want to express their happiness. 62．What’s the best title of the passage? A．The reasons of birds’ singing. B．Birds’ singing for happiness. C．The differences of human and birds. 【答案】59．C 60．B 61．B 62．A 【导语】本文主要分析了鸟儿唱歌的不同的原因。鸟儿的叫声并非全都是在唱歌，而是一种发出的警告，警示同伴或是吓退入侵者。 59．推理判断题。根据“Maybe you thought that they were just happy.

It sounds too good to be true, but scientists have started using artificial intelligence (AI) to help communicate with animals. AI allows humans to use technology to watch and understand the sounds and signals (信号) animals use so we can try to speak back to them. Professor Karen Bakker said that AI is already helping humans communicate with bats (蝙蝠) and bees. This could change what we know about nature and our non-human relationships. Bakker said AI helped decode (解码) recordings of animals talking to one another. She said trying to communicate in their language could be better than to teach them to use human sign language. Bakker explained how scientist Yossi Yoyel had used recordings and AI to understand bats. “Bats argue over food; they communicate differently between genders (性别) ; they have their names or ‘signature calls’,” she said. “But unlike human mothers who raise their voices when talking to babies, mother bats lower the voice.” A computer can be trained to listen like a bat, but this can never be done with the human ear. With bees, the computer both listens and watches the bees’ body movement to understand what they are communicating. “When bees ‘speak’ to one another, they use body movements, as well as the sounds, to communicate,” Bakker said. She said scientists now know how bees say things such as “hush (be quiet)” or “stop”. Scientist Tim Landgraf even created a robot bee that entered a hive (蜂巢) and it was able to communicate to other bees when it wanted them to stop doing something or fly. So, are you looking forward to communicating with animals one day? 1．Why does the writer mention bats and bees? A．To give a direction of the future study. B．To show the achievements scientists have got. C．To doubt the findings scientist have reported. D．To change people’s opinions about the two animals. 2．What is the fifth paragraph mainly about? A．Scientists’ ways of communicating with bats. B．Differences between bats and humans in communication. C．Scientists’ findings about communication between bats through AI. D．Advantages of communicating with animals in their language. 3．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Bees mostly use sound to communicate with others. B．Scientists have already understood a bit of bees’ language. C．Bees’ body movements are very difficult to understand. D．Scientists have made a real bee to communicate with other bees. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 【导语】本文介绍了随着AI的发展，科学家们已经开始使用人工智能来理解动物的语言，并与动物交流。 1．推理判断题。根据“Professor Karen Bakker said that AI is already helping humans communicate with bats (蝙蝠) and bees.”可知，人工智能已经在帮助人类与蝙蝠和蜜蜂交流；由此推知作者提到蝙蝠和蜜蜂，是为了展示科学家们取得的成就。故选B。 2．段落大意题。根据“Bakker explained how scientist Yossi Yoyel had used recordings and AI to understand bats. ”可知，Bakker解释了科学家Yossi Yoyel是如何使用录音和人工智能来了解蝙蝠的；再根据“A computer can be trained to listen like a bat, but this can never be done with the human ear.”可知，计算机可以被训练得像蝙蝠一样聆听，但人的耳朵永远无法做到这一点。由此判断第五段介绍了科学家们通过人工智能发现了蝙蝠之间进行的交流是什么样的。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“Scientist Tim Landgraf even created a robot bee that entered a hive (蜂巢) and it was able to communicate to other bees when it wanted them to stop doing something or fly.”可知，科学家Tim Landgraf创造了一种进入蜂巢的机器蜜蜂，可以与真正的蜜蜂进行交流；由此推知科学家们已经了解了一些蜜蜂的语言。故选B。 Passage 2（山东省临沂市平邑县2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） ① Elton John once sang: “Sorry seems to be the hardest word.” But in Canada, there aren’t many words that are more easily or commonly spoken like sorry. Or, that’s the way it seems, say visitors to the country. And it’s something that Canadians admit themselves. ②Canadians apologize for coming to work early, for driving past a car on a street, for feeding you more than they should and sometimes to even themselves! Then why do Canadians apologize so much, even when they don’t need to? ③It’s part of Canadian culture, say some people. That doesn’t mean other cultures are less polite. But saying sorry does at least show you’re trying to be nice—and many people think Canada is a polite country, so its citizens may be trying to protect that idea. ④ For many Canadians, apologizing has become something they do without thinking. Even if someone walks into a Canadian in the street and the Canadian isn’t at fault, the Canadian is likely to say sorry. It could be a way to avoid conflict (冲突)—it’s often easier to say sorry than to shout at someone and have a fight. ⑤ But when Canadians say sorry, that doesn’t always mean they’re really sorry. Sometimes it means they realize that something bad has happened, but not saying they think it’s their fault. ⑥ That idea is even in Canadian law. For example, the Apology Act in the province of Ontario says that making an apology does not mean you’re admitting you’ re at fault. ⑦So how do Canadians apologize and mean it? A study found that only 62% of Canadians actually think “I am sorry” is a good apology. Instead, 80% think “I sincerely apologize” is the best thing to say. 4．Why is Elton John’s song mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．To introduce the topic. B．To show the singer was wrong. C．To make the readers think deeply. 5．Which paragraphs tell the deep reasons behind the Canadian Sorry? A．①② B．②③ C．③④ 6．What does the Apology Act in Ontario say about making an apology? A．It doesn’t mean you admit you’re wrong. B．It should be accepted by law. C．It can be used to avoid risk. 7．In which part of a magazine can we probably read the passage? A．Travel. B．Culture. C．History. 【答案】4．A 5．C 6．A 7．B 【导语】本文主要讨论了加拿大人频繁使用“对不起”这个词的文化现象，解释了其背后的原因和意义。 4．细节理解题。根据“Elton John once sang: ‘Sorry seems to be the hardest word.’ But in Canada, there aren’t many words that are more easily or commonly spoken like sorry.”可知，引用Elton John的歌曲是为了引出加拿大人经常说“对不起”的话题。故选A。 5．细节理解题。通读全文可知，第三段和第四段详细解释了加拿大人经常说“对不起”的深层原因，第三段提到这是加拿大文化的一部分，第四段则进一步解释了道歉在避免冲突方面的作用。故选C。 6．细节理解题。根据“For example, the Apology Act in the province of Ontario says that making an apology does not mean you’re admitting you’ re at fault.”可知，道歉并不意味着承认自己有错。故选A。 7．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要讨论了加拿大人频繁使用“对不起”这个词的文化现象，解释了其背后的原因和意义，属于文化的范畴，因此，这篇文章最可能出现在杂志的文化部分。故选B。 Passage 3（山东省聊城市阳谷四校2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo. The next important date in the history of photography (摄影) was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a daguerreotype. Soon, other people began to use the way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains. In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them. For example, some in the United States worked so hard. Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike (栩栩如生的) . Photography had also become one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just pictures of the real world. They showed different feelings, like other kinds of art. 8．Who took the first photo in the world? A．Daguerre. B．Niepce. C．Mathew. D．The writer. 9．What is the daguerreotype? A．A Frenchman. B．A kind of camera. C．A photographer. D．A kind of picture. 10．When was photography developed according to the passage? A．In 1826. B．In 1837. C．In about 1840. D．In last century. 11．Why was Mathew Brady a famous photographer? A．Because his pictures were lifelike. B．Because he was an American. C．Because his photos were not real. D．Because he loved photography. 12．What does this passage mainly tell us? A．An Introduction to Photography. B．Great Photographers in the 19th century. C．History of photography in the 19th century. D．Photography developed in the 20th century. 【答案】8．B 9．D 10．C 11．A 12．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了19世纪摄影的发展历史。 8．细节理解题。根据第一段的“In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business.

After a long and busy day, all we want to do is return to a comfortable home. Smart technology can turn any home into a nice place to live. Smart homes have been around for some time. Scottish company Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10 in 1975. It allows household devices (家用设备), such as lights and alarms, to communicate with each other by using radio waves (无线电波), according to AVSystemsMag, a specialized magazine in the audiovisual (AV，视听的) and automation industry. Of course, 5G network connectivity has made smart homes much more sophisticated (复杂的巧妙) than X10. Perhaps the most widespread smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant (语音激活助手). Google Home and Amazon’s Alexa allow users to interact with nearly any device in their home simply by speaking a few words. This is especially convenient for children and people with physical disabilities, as they can finish tasks that would normally be too difficult, according to How-To Geek. Common household appliances (家用电器) can become “smart” as well. For example, a smart trash bin can keep track of the things you’ve thrown away and place an online order for new items, while smart refrigerators can create dinner recipes (菜谱) based on the vegetables that are being kept inside, according to HowStuffWorks. But it’s not just about convenience. Smart homes are also good for the environment. By regularly checking your energy use and automatically (自动地) turning off lights and other devices that you’re not using, smart homes can lower so much electricity you use overall. Using less energy means that we use fewer natural resources, which is good for the environment. 13．X10 technology allows household devices to communicate by ________. A．using lights B．using voices C．using radio waves D．connecting to the 5G network 14．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Voice-activated assistants. B．How smart homes are built. C．The difference between X10 and 5G technologies. D．Technologies designed for children and the disabled. 15．How are smart homes good for the environment? A．They use recyclable household appliances. B．They are built with special materials. C．They have smart trash bins. D．They help us save energy. 16．Which of the advantages is NOT mentioned about smart homes? A．Comfortable. B．Convenient. C．Energy-saving. D．Relaxing. 17．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Smart homes in the future B．A perfect home C．Live a smart life D．The city of tomorrow 【答案】13．C 14．A 15．D 16．D 17．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了如今日益发展的智能家居如何改变了人们的生活。 13．细节理解题。根据“It allows household devices (家用设备), such as lights and alarms, to communicate with each other by using radio waves (无线电波),”可知，X10技术通过无线电波让设备相互通信。故选C。 14．主旨大意题。根据“Perhaps the most widespread smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant (语音激活助手).

The discovery could one day help doctors see inside human bodies without cutting them open. The scientists mixed tartrazine with water to make the liquid. When they tested this mixture on very thin slices of chicken, the chicken began to turn clear. Next, the researchers decided to try the coloring on the skin of living mice. First they got the hair out of the way. Then, they rubbed the liquid on the skin of the mice. In just a few minutes, the skin of the mice became see-through. Using the liquid, the scientists were able to see inside a mouse’s brain. When the liquid was washed off, the skin returned to normal. To understand how the new discovery works, it’s helpful to think about how light travels through different materials. Light travels in a straight line, unless it runs into something. Then, it usually bends (弯曲). Glass is easy to see through because light only takes a slight bend when it goes through the glass. But skin isn’t like glass. Skin is made of many different parts, like water, fat and so on. These different materials make it hard to see through skin. Tartrazine makes the watery parts of the skin more like the other areas. When the light mostly bends the same way, the skin becomes see-through. Guosong Hong, one of the leaders of the research, says that if something similar could be made to work on humans, it could lead to exciting medical development. The scientists say more work needs to be done before a similar method can be used on humans. The dye only works on thin skin, and human skin is much thicker than the skin of mice. 18．What did the scientists find at Stanford University? A．A way to treat skin problems. B．A way to make the mice grow quickly. C．A way to help doctors cut human bodies open. D．A way to make the skin of living mice become clear. 19．How was the result of the test according to paragraph 2? A．Unexpected. B．Meaningless. C．Incorrect. D．Successful. 20．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．How light travels through glass. B．The importance of tartrazine. C．How tartrazine makes the skin see-through. D．The difference between skin and glass. 21．What is the value of the research at Stanford University? A．It’s only useful for animal skin studies. B．It could improve medical study. C．It helps understand light and materials better. D．It provides a way to make glass bend. 22．In which part of the newspaper can you find the text? A．Science. B．Sport. C．Culture. D．History. 【答案】18．D 19．D 20．C 21．B 22．A 【导语】本文讲述了斯坦福大学科学家发现了一种通过用柠檬黄染料擦拭活体小白鼠皮肤使其变透明的方法，未来或有助于医生无需切开人体即可观察其内部情况，但该方法还需进一步研究才能应用于人体。 18．细节理解题。根据“Scientists at Stanford University have found a way to make the skin (皮肤) of living mice turn clear...”可知，斯坦福大学的科学家们已经找到了一种让活体老鼠的皮肤变得透明的方法。故选D。 19．推理判断题。根据文章第二段可知，当科学家们测试这种混合物时，鸡肉片和老鼠皮肤都变得透明，因此测试结果是成功的。故选D。 20．主旨大意题。通读整段和“To understand how the new discovery works...”可知，第三段描述了柠檬黄如何使皮肤变透明的原理，因此本段的主要内容是柠檬黄如何使皮肤变透明。故选C。 21．推理判断题。根据“The discovery could one day help doctors see inside human bodies without cutting them open.”可知，这项研究可能有助于未来在不切开人类身体的前提下进行医学检查，因此可以改进医学研究。故选B。 22．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文属于科学研究的范畴，因此最可能出现在报纸的科学版块。故选A。 Passage 6（山东省德州市陵城区2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末 ） Chinese culture has great attraction for people both at home and abroad. We have seen many people from around the world express their love for Chinese culture in different forms. A growing number of foreigners have even, chosen to live in China for its culture. Interested in Chinese classical literature, Canadian artist Brandon Collins-Green or Lin Buran in Chinese expresses his understanding of A Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xueqin and Chinese poems through thousands of paintings. Often painting throughout the night, he has created more than 4,200 works. Living alone in the center of Nanchang, he has come a long way since he first came here in 2015 to study ancient Chinese literature. Brandon loves learning about the lifestyle of ancient Chinese people. “So far, I have read the novel three times, translated most of its poems, songs, lantern riddles (谜语), and dialogues into English, and completed over 1 million words of articles and 2,000 related paintings during my PhD studies,” said Brandon with pride and satisfaction. Timur Kuvatov, director-general and editor-in-chief of the Kazakhstan Today News Agency, is a Chinese kung fu fan. He has won kung fu championships a lot of times and also served as a coach for the Kazakhstan kung fu team. “Chinese kung fu is a treasure of Chinese culture. It is not just a sport but also reflects the Chinese way of dealing with people, their understanding of life, nature and the world,” he said. Vincent Cazeneuve, known as Wensen Qi in Chinese, is a French artist devoted to lacquer (漆器) creation. He came to live in Chongqing in 2009. His works have been shown in art institutions both in and outside of China, and his fans have even collected some of them. What is the charm of Chinese culture that attracts these people? It lies in its richness and openness. Also its cultural background differences make foreigners curious about the lifestyles, way of thinking, and values of the country. 23．What has Brandon done to express his love for Chinese culture?

The workers on board of a special ship nearby was about to release about 230,000 Chinese sturgeons (中华鲟) back into the waterway, where the fish naturally lay theır eggs. The event’s organizer, the CTGC (China Three Gorges Corporation), also supports a research center to make sure such releases are successful. Set up in 1982, the center’s job is to monitor the level of biodiversity (生物多样性) in the waters near the dam, the world’s largest hydropower facility (水力发电设备). The sturgeon-releasing event was part, of a long-running effort to protect the Yangtze River’s ecosystem. The Chinese sturgeon is known for its hard, protective scale (鳞甲). People call it a “living fossil” (活化石) because its long history and physical characteristics which have remained almost unchanged over millions of years. But sadly, because of overfishing, pollution, and the effects of dam, the wild sturgeon population in China has dropped to dangerously low levels. In response, people have held more release events and put more effort into breeding (繁殖) more of the fish. These release events are easier said than done, however. In the early days, the survival rate of freed sturgeons was quite low. Jiang Wei, an engineer at the research center, said that in 1985 the people who did this job before him started to study how to breed sturgeon, but there weren’t any books or information about it at that time. Over the next 10 years, they found the key factors affecting the well-being of young fish, such as food, water temperature and quality, and did experiments to prevent diseases. “By 1995, the body length of the released fish had reached more than 30 centimeters, and more of them survived in the wild.” said Jiang. Thanks to their continued efforts,21 million endangered fish have been released into the Yangtze since the CTGC was set up about 30 years ago, according to data provided by the organization. This is a great achievement in protecting the river’s weak ecosystem. 28．What happened near the Yangtze River in Yichang, Hubei Province? A．Some surgeons laying their eggs. B．Several workers cleaning the river. C．230,000 Chinese sturgeons being released. D．A meeting about water life variety being held. 29．How does the CTGC help protect the river and its animals? A．It makes sure no one fishes too much. B．It builds a big dam to make electricity. C．It helps to clean up the never every year. D．It offers a place to keep an eye on water life. 30．Why is the Chinese sturgeon called a “living fossil”? A．It helps protect the Yangtze River’s ecosystem. B．It has hard and protective scale. C．It is the biggest fish in the Yangtze. D．It has a long and almost unchanged history. 31．What’s the main challenge for the releasing event at first? A．The lack of information and resources on sturgeon farming. B．The high cost of breeding and releasing sturgeon into the wild. C．The unwillingness of local communities to support the project. D．The bad effects of pollution and dams on the river’s ecosystem. 32．What is the passage mainly about? A．A plan for protecting the Chinese sturgeon. B．Water-based electricity production in the area.

Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. Since August, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen. ②Why do we develop self-driving cars? Self-driving cars have many advantages. They use computers to sense the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer crowded roads and better parking of cars. For disabled or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more easily. ③According to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year, more than 1.35 million people are killed on roads around the world. Many more are hurt in accidents. Self driving cars could reduce road accidents by 90 percent and save governments a lot of money. The main cause of car accidents is human error (错误). By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose attention like humans do. ④But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react as fast as a human driver can. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars wouldn’t see the lines on the road easily. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system would be broken by someone, causing it to crash or change its direction. ⑤It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common sight on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen. 33．According to the passage, it is ________ to develop self-driving cars for disabled or blind people.

Up to June 2024, this service has developed to the Beijing-Guangzhou, Beijing-Harbin, Shanghai-Kunming and other high-speed railways. In the “quiet carriages”, videos are silent and phone calls are in a low voice. Doors at both ends of the carriage are closed to reduce noise from outside. During the trip, passengers must wear earphones or turn off speakers. They also need to leave their seats to make or answer calls, and their phones should be set to silent or vibration mode (振动模式). For those travelling with children, they must take care of them and keep them quiet. Mr. Li, a Chengdu local, said, “I make at least one round trip a week between Chengdu and Chongqing for work. I sometimes need to focus on my work or get some rest during the hour-long trip. The ‘quiet carriage’ is a good choice for me.” “When I wanted to buy the tickets, I first saw the choice for the ‘quiet carriage’, and I wanted to give it a shot,” said Miss Mou, who took the train from Beijing to Shanghai. “When I entered the carriage for the first time, signs reminding passengers to keep quiet were everywhere, and it was really much quieter than the other carriages.” Experts say that the “quiet carriage” service provides passengers with more value-added choices.

The aged vinegar made there was known far and wide and was carried by Shanxi merchants during the Ming and Qing dynasties. ②The production process, which dates back more than 3,000 years, must go through at least five steps. The newly made vinegar has a light color, but as the years go by, it becomes thick and dark. The aging process lasts at least one year, which is where the name “aged vinegar” comes from. ③To this day, the work is still mostly done by hand. Inside a local workshop in Qingxu, which is built in an ancient style, workers dressed in Ming Dynasty clothing are busy performing traditional vinegar brewing tasks. “They are not actors, but real workers,” says Mr Zhang, manager of the workshop. “With the rapid development of our company, our customers have shown increasing interest in knowing how the aged vinegar is made, as well as its cultural background.” ④To meet high standards, new machines and technology have been added to the production process. In the workshop, 190 fermentation tanks (发酵罐) are lined up like soldiers. “Both fermentation and smoking (熏) tasks can be achieved without human help. We even use 5G technology for digital control,” Mr Zhang adds. “While the vinegar is fermented by machine, it still goes through the traditional aging process, so its taste remains unchanged.” ⑤Still, in recent years, the vinegar industry in Qingxu has been adapting (适应) to the times. While it continues its tradition, it has welcomed new ideas, such as ice cream with vinegar and tangyuan with vinegar fillings. 50．What leads to the vinegar being called aged vinegar?

Do you know “dopamine dressing (多巴胺穿搭)”? It’s one of the most talked-about fashion trends (趋势) for 2023. However, is there any science behind this? “Dopamine dressing” came out from the book Dress Your Best Life. American fashion psychologist (心理学家), Dawnn Karen wrote this book in 2020. In the book, dopamine dressing is about wearing colorful clothing to get more dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical in our brain. This kind of chemical makes people feel good. Our brain gives it out when we eat delicious food, play with our pets, listen to our favorite songs, after we exercise or when we win a game. According to Science Focus Magazine, there are studies that show a relationship between the colors of the clothes we wear and how we act and feel. One study found that wearing red can bring better physical performance. It also showed that bright colors can make people feel active. One more study showed that wearing green can help people relax because it is the color of nature. Yellow, the color of summer and warmth, can bring people happiness. But there are some problems with these studies, as people from different cultures have different ideas about dressing and colors. In a word, “dopamine dressing” shows that we can wear colorful clothes to get more dopamine and feel good. Dressing is more than just a trend. It’s also a way of showing ourselves. So, next time you’re getting dressed, think about which colors will bring out yourself best. 54．What is dopamine dressing according to the text? A．A way of dressing. B．A kind of chemical. C．A book about dressing. D．A fashion trend for 2020. 55．Our brain may give out dopamine when we ________. A．eat terrible food B．hear the bad news C．lose a football game D．read our favorite books 56．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A．Dressing is just a trend.

B．The importance of dopamine. C．Dopamine dressing and feelings. D．The way of choosing colorful clothes. 【答案】54．A 55．D 56．C 57．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“多巴胺穿搭”的起源、相关科学依据以及其意义，说明穿搭不仅是潮流也是自我表达的方式。 54．细节理解题。根据文章第2段“In the book, dopamine dressing is about wearing colorful clothing to get more dopamine.”可知，多巴胺穿搭是一种穿搭方式。故选A。 55．细节理解题。根据文章第3段“Our brain gives it out when we eat delicious food, play with our pets, listen to our favorite songs, after we exercise or when we win a game.”可知，读喜欢的书和听喜欢的歌类似，可能让大脑分泌多巴胺。故选D。 56．细节理解题。根据文章第4段“One more study showed that wearing green can help people relax because it is the color of nature.”可知，穿绿色能帮助人们放松，C选项正确。故选C。 57．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕“多巴胺穿搭”展开，介绍了其定义以及服装颜色与情绪、感受的关系，因此选项C“多巴胺穿搭与感受。”符合文章主旨。故选C。 Passage 14（山东省烟台市芝罘区2024-2025学年九年级上期末 ） Manners are very important in our daily life. There are many different customs and habits among different countries. We must find out and follow their customs so that they will not think us ill-mannered. Here are examples of the things that a person with good education does or does not do. A person with good manners is always popular, but it is troublesome to a person with bad manners. If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you will not move before the host says “Come in, please.” After you enter the room, you would not sit down until the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is put on the tea table before you or sent to your hand, you should say “Thank you” and receive it with two hands, not one hand, or they will think you are ill-mannered. Before entering a house in Japan, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay house, a visitor never finishes the food on the table. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a visitor always finishes the drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it. The host will be pleased with that. You have to give your present in public in the Middle East to show it is not a bribe (贿赂). But it’s good manners to give your present in private in Asia. You mustn’t give knives in Latin America because it suggests that you want to cut off the relationship. You mustn’t give your food or drink to Arabia because it suggests that you think your host isn’t offering you enough to eat and drink. “Come any time” means “I want you to visit me” in India. If you don’t suggest a time at once, the India will think you are refusing the invitation.
