考前押题09 阅读表达 Passage 1（24-25九年级上·河北石家庄·期末） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 When you are in your favorite clothing store, everything is so cheap and fashionable (时尚的) in your eyes. Even if you don’t need anything, you still leave the store with bags of new clothes. This doesn’t seem so bad. However, there are a lot of other costs behind the low price. It’s clear that the fashion industry is terrible for the earth. It uses a lot of resources (资源) and pollutes the environment with waste. Fashion is one of the least sustainable (可持续的) industries. We’ve all become our own waste managers, collecting fashion waste in our homes. It doesn’t just take up space but also ends up in landfills (垃圾场). Three out of every five pieces of clothing are sent to landfills. Luckily, second-hand clothing is becoming popular. It’s cheaper. More and more people choose to buy second-hand clothing. The value of the second-hand market may reach $80 billion by 2029, an increase of 185% compared to the value at present. In fact, there is still an even better choice. It’s not to shop at all. Making full use of what you have already had is the best choice of shopping. 1．Where will most of our clothing end up? 2．Why is second-hand clothing becoming popular? 3．How much may the value of the second-hand market reach by 2029? 4．What’s the best choice of shopping according to the passage? 5．What do you think of the fashion industry? Passage 2（24-25九年级上·江苏南通·期末） 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 A Timely Business April 15, 1860—A special day! The Pony Express, a fast mail delivery service, successfully completed its first journey from Saint Joseph in Missouri to Sacramento in California. This exciting journey began on April 3. The Pony Express hired skilled horse riders to carry letters and small packages. They promised delivery from one end of the run to the other in 10 days or less! Finally, there was a way to communicate with friends and family who live far away. You would not have to depend on slow boats or stagecoaches. About 180 riders, 400 fast horses, and 190 pony express stations made up the pony express. Its riders were mainly of small build, and many were teenagers. A day’s work was made up of about a 75-mile trip, with stops at several stations. The stations were about 10 to 15 miles apart. Riders earned about $100 to $150 a month. The Pony Express worked day and night to make sure important letters and packages arrived on time. October 26, 1861—Sad news for the pony express. After only about 19 months, the service closed its doors because of the opening of the telegraph (电报), a device that has changed long-distance communication. The Pony Express lost a lot of money and had to stop. Before closing, the Pony Express set a record that delivering a package took just 7 days and 17 hours from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California. 6．When did the pony express finish its first journey? 7．What made up the pony express? 8．How many stations would a rider of the pony express pass by in a day at least? 9．Why did the pony express close its doors? 10．How do you usually communicate with your far-away friends? Why? (请自拟一句话作答) Passage 3（24-25九年级上·山东临沂·期末） Happiness and joy can be found in many places. Some people find joy in their family and job, while others find it in the little things in life, like a sunrise or a colorful flower they see on their daily walk. Owning a pet can also bring joy to a person’s life. Whether it’s a dog, cat or bird in your home, pets are good for you. And now, there is a new kind of pet available. It’s the robotic pet. A robotic pet is a robot invented to look and act like a pet. These robots are not toys you would buy for a child. They are actually created for adults unable to have or care for a real pet on their own. For example, because of mobility (移动能力) or memory problems, some elders may find it challenging to take pets for a walk or remember to feed them. That’s why a robotic pet can be very useful. Robotic pets provide their owners with the same benefits (好处) like real pets. A 2024 study found that people with mild dementia (轻度痴呆) also benefited from staying with robotic pets. 50% of them showed improvements in their ability to pay attention and make conversations. Thanks to the technology, more people can experience the happiness that pets bring into their lives. What a beautiful win-win! 11．Where can people find joy according to Paragraph 1? 12．Who are robotic pets mainly created for? 13．Why is it challenging for some elders to keep pets? 14．What did the study in 2024 find out? 15．Do you want to have a real pet or a robotic pet? why? Passage 4（24-25九年级上·江苏南通·期末） 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Did you know that sign language also has “dialects” (方言)? Sign language is the main way deaf people communicate. Since they can’t hear, talking to hearing people can be hard. Luckily, sign language interpreters (翻译) are there to help. Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her first language, as her parents are deaf. “I began to learn sign language before I could even talk,” she recalled. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law office in Chongqing. Her work takes her to places like courts, where shed interprets for deaf people. As sign language has fewer words, Hao often meets difficult legal terms that have no direct match. In such situations, she carefully explains the meaning for deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. “For example, the words ‘put out a fire’ are signed as a fire put out in sign language because deaf people describe what they see first,” Hao explained. Hao feels stressed at work because accuracy (准确性) is important in legal interpretations. Her stress also comes from the fact that sign language has “dialects”. The same word can be expressed with different hand signs depending on where a deaf person is from. “For example, people in Inner Mongolia and Chongqing use different signs for the word ‘true’,” Hao explained. Having traveled to over 30 cities in China, she has learned about the ways deaf people across the country use sign language. In her spare time, Hao reads many law books and talks with lawyers and her deaf coworkers to improve her professional ability. “My parents are deaf, so I understand the difficulties faced by the deaf community. I want to do everything I can to help them,” Hao said. 16．Who can help deaf people talk to hearing people according to the passage? 17．When did Hao Shuxin start to learn sign language? 18．Why does Hao feel stressed at work? 19．How does Hao improve her professional ability in her free time? 20．What do you think of Hao? And why? (请自拟一句话作答) Passage 5（24-25九年级上·山西临汾·期末） 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 Seventy percent of our planet is covered by the ocean. In 2008, the UN regarded June 8 as World Oceans Day. It is so important that it is now celebrated in over 100 countries around the world. It’s a day to think about the important role that the ocean plays in our lives, the dangers that our oceans are facing and the action we can take to protect the ocean. 2 ·It is home to many plants and animals on earth. ·Sea plants provide us with 70 % of the oxygen we breathe. ·It controls our climate (气候), providing heat in winter and cool air in summer. ·It also provides us with food and medicine. When people talk of exploring (开发) the sea, there are two different points. No: Sea exploration has caused many problems and will continue to cause more. More exploration means more pollution. One of the worst is plastic pollution. Many birds and fish died of this. Mining for resources (资源开采) harms a lot, especially in the Arctic. The thickest, oldest and hardest sea ice around it is melting. Climate change is warning us that something is very wrong. Overfishing is another problem. Whales and dolphins are also killed for their meat or for so-called research. Although this was not allowed in 1982, some countries are still hurt these clever animals. Yes: To truly understand our planet, we must explore the oceans. For example, some research can help answer some important questions such as climate change. We need to understand what is happening to our planet so that we can take action. Therefore, more research is necessary. Understanding more about the sea will also help us manage its resources better. It may help us discover new medicines, as well as new sources of food and energy. Getting to the deep ocean may also help us to predict events such as earthquakes. The population of the world is growing and we need new resources for future development. There are probably more resources under the sea and ice, not just oil and gas but also valuable minerals. As we all know, the ocean is the treasure to our life. Now it is crying out for our help! Remember, only when we get on well with nature, like respecting the ocean, can our world be a better place. Let’s take action now and make a difference for our future. 21．When is the World Oceans Day? 22．What’s the best title of the Chart 1? 23．What’s the worst pollution that the sea exploration cause? 24．What can we get from the sea exploration? 25．Do you think which is more important, the sea exploration or sea protection? How can we do that? Passage 6（24-25九年级上·山东德州·期末） 阅读短文，根据题目要求完成各小题。 Last week we went on a school trip to a science museum. Ms Liu, the guide, showed us around a smart room. We started with the front door. Ms Liu asked me to ring the doorbell. I didn’t notice the tiny camera that was fixed just above it. After I pressed the doorbell, the camera sent a live video (视频直播) to the home-owners. “They can electronically open the door when they are not in the house.” said Ms Liu. The other thing I couldn’t see on the door was a lock, “There must be one,” I thought. At this time. Ms Liu took out a smart phone and put it against the door. And it opened. “Oh, it is on the smart phone.” After entering the living room, I saw a computer on the table. The owners use the computer to control how much energy is used. In this way, they can manage their living cost. One of the rooms I wanted to see most was the bedroom. To my surprise, the bed disappeared into the floor at the touch of the smart phone. The window has a smart blind (百叶窗). It can be raised and lowered with a voice. As I left the smart home, I looked back on what I had just seen. Scientists often say that these products are improving our life. I think the technology in the smart home may make us lazier. However, there is no doubt that it will become more popular in the homes of tomorrow. 26．What does the underlined “they” in paragraph 2 refer to? 27．Where is the key to the door? 28．How can the owners control how much energy is used? 29．Which room is the most attractive to the writer according to the passage? 30．Do you like the technology in the smart home? Why or why not? Passage 7（24-25九年级上·山西忻州·期末） 请阅读下面短文，按要求完成所给任务，并将答案填写在答题卡相应的位置上。 Language is special. Learning or forgetting a language means knowing or not knowing a way to talk. Although we don’t use our dialect (方言) very often, it still influences all of us. Since language diversity (多样性) is something we all share, it’s our responsibility to protect it. Technology can protect languages, like helping us record and save languages, spread them around and study them. But we need to be careful and work hard to protect language diversity. —Adapted from a Conference (Chart I) Dialect is a tool that people use to talk with each other. Usually, it can fully express what the speaker wants to say and achieve the goal of communication. This kind of dialect has enough power. However, nowadays, many people mainly use Putonghua in their daily lives. Even in some places where people seem to use dialects, many expressions of new things in society are mixed with the pronunciation of Putonghua, and sometimes even the whole sentence is changed to Putonghua. Home is the last place where dialects are used. According to a survey, from the communication terms used by three generations in the families of Suzhou locals, we could find the reasons that influence the use of language. First, social and cultural background including a person’s values, beliefs and customs can influence the way he or she communicates. The second is about the educational background, which can influence a person’s skilled use of language and the type of language he or she uses. We can do something to keep the family’s language tradition. For example, we can create a good environment where the family’s language is spoken and used regularly. Besides, grandparents teach children their dialect and culture, while children teach grandparents new words and expressions. Artificial intelligence (AI) uses some interesting pictures to give power to the Suzhou dialect. It hopes that the familiar local accent (口音) can bring back memories of the dialect from people’s childhood and make them feel more connected to their hometown. It also hopes that more young people will take action to protect the dialect, develop an interest in it, speak the dialect and tell more Suzhou stories in Suzhou dialect. The more a language is used, the more alive it becomes. Artificial intelligence protects the dialect through intelligent voice innovation (智能语音创新). It brings the dialect closer to young people. 31．What does “learning or forgetting a language” mean? 32．Why is technology mentioned when talking about the language in Chart I? 33．What can we know from Chart II? 34．Please fill in the blank in Chart III? 35．Do you often use dialects in your daily life? What do you think of using dialects?

This robot can talk to people and do whatever people ask it to do, and the two companies even made a video to show it. In the video, someone asked, “Hey, Figure 01, what do you see right now?” The robot looked at the table in front of it and described everything on the table. It even described the person who asked the question. Next, the person asked the robot for something to eat, and it handed the person an apple! After that, the person threw some rubbish in front of the robot and asked it to clean it up. And the robot did what it was told and cleaned up all the rubbish. In 2023, Figure 01 showed its abilities by doing simple tasks by itself. And by the end of the year, it had learned to do even more! In January 2024, BMW, a famous car company, signed a contract (合同) with Figure, to use Figure 01 in one of its factories. A month later, they showed la video of the robot working in the factory It was so cool! Now, you might be wondering how the robot knows what it sees. Figure 01 has cameras for eyes. These cameras send pictures to an AI model made by OpenAI. This AI model helps the robot understand what it sees and what people say. The Figure robot then uses all the information to move and do things quickly and exactly! 41．What can Figure 01 do? 42．What did Figure 01 describe in the video? 43．Why did BMW sign a contract with Figure? 44．What does the AI model help Figure 01 do? 45．What do you think of Figure 01?

The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) and other greenhouse gases, which are closely connected to the big problem of global-warming (全球变暖). Way 1:Bring your own cup to Starbucks. You’ll get a 10-cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a dustbin. The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup. Way 2 : Turn off your computer. When in standby mode (待机模式), your PC is still using energy. Turning off a monitor (显示器) for 40 hours a week may only save $5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds! Way 3: Reuse plastic bags. Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag. You’re reducing pollution. The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile. Way 4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom. Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests previously untouched by humans. If every family took the place of one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424, 000 trees would still be standing. Way 5: Plant a free. Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing. Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5, 000 pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year. 46．What is happening when your PC is in standby mode? 47．What’s the advantage of using recycled paper in the bathroom? 48．How many ways are mentioned in the passage?   49．What other ways do you usually do to protect the environment? 50．What’s the passage about?

Passage 12（24-25九年级上·湖南长沙·期末） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 According to recent numbers shared by the government, more than 19% of students in England were not able to attend school in the first term of 2024—2025 due primarily to illness. When children are unable to attend school, the separation from the classroom and friends can have a bad influence on them. Norwegian company No Isolation has created the AV1 robot, designed to help long-term ill children attend their classes remotely (远程地) through a 360-degree camera, microphone, and speaker, allowing students to interact (互动) with their teachers and classmates from home by controlling the robot remotely through an app. “They can move their fingers to change where the robot is looking,” explains Florence Salisbury, marketing director at the company. “They can also choose emojis that appear in the robot’s eyes, and show their emotions in real time, as if they are attending school in person.” The main advantage of the robot is not just academic (学业的), but rather social. Long-term sickness takes away the interaction of children with their friends and classmates. Therefore, the role of AV1 is to maintain these important links. Salisbury shared an example of a 15-year-old boy in England who uses AV1. His friends even take the robot with them to lunch so that he can still feel included in their talks. “The robot is loved by students and makes a real difference,” Salisbury adds. “It makes sick children feel important.” Although the robot also receives praise from both parents and teachers, it is facing some challenges. Bad Wi-Fi connection is a main challenge, as it affects the robot’s performance. Privacy leak (泄露), which may bring trouble to the robot users, is another challenge. However, Salisbury says that No Isolation is working on these issues. 56．Who is the AV1 robot designed to help? 57．How do ill children interact with their teachers and classmates from home? 58．Why do the 15-year-old boy’s friends take the robot with them to have lunch? 59．According to the last paragraph, what challenges is the robot facing? 60．Do you want to use AV1 if you have a chance? And why? Passage 13（24-25九年级上·河北唐山·期末） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 3D printing is an amazing technology that has changed the way we make things. It was first invented in the 1980s and has developed a lot since then. The process of 3D printing is really interesting. First, we need to design a 3D model of the object we want to make using special computer software. Then, the 3D printer reads the model and starts to build the object layer by layer. It uses different materials like plastics, metals, or ceramics (陶瓷) to create the object. 3D printing has many great uses. It can be used in the medical field, the manufacturing (制造业) industry and so on. It can make parts for cars, airplanes, and other machines. It can also be used to make beautiful jewelry (珠宝) and toys. Another advantage of 3D printing is that it can save a lot of materials. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods where a lot of material is cut away and wasted, 3D printing only uses the amount of material needed to build the object. However, 3D printing also has some problems. The 3D printers and the materials can be quite expensive, so not everyone can afford them. Also, the printing speed is usually slower than traditional manufacturing methods, which means it takes more time to make a large number of products. In the future, 3D printing will probably become more and more popular and advanced. We may be able to print even more complex and useful things with it, like houses and even human organs. It will bring more convenience and possibilities to our lives. 61．When was 3D printing first invented? 62．What materials does 3D printing often use to create objects? 63．Where can 3D printing be used? 64．Is 3D printing speed usually faster or slower than traditional manufacturing methods? 65．Do you like 3D printing? Why or why not? Passage 14（24-25九年级上·河北承德·期末） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 More than 100,000 people cheered excitedly when 3,000 drones flew over Chaotianmen on the Chinese New Year Eve in 2024. The 15-minute drone show had 300 million views online. In fact, drones are easy to control. People send orders to the control system (系统). Rotors push against the air to make the drone rise or stay in the air. By changing the angle (角度) and the speed of different rotors, the drone flies in all directions. Drones can complete difficult and special tasks in a timely and effective (有效的) way. After an earthquake, drones can fly over blocked roads to find people. Reaching the mountain village by road may take several hours, but drones provide information in just a few minutes. For weak wildlife populations, drones can show where hunters are hiding. At night, drones with infrared (红外线的) cameras can easily find them in the dark. Drones also provide convenience for the public. For example, at a sports event, drones are used to give a view from above or help coaches see how their players are doing. In a word, drones have been widely used in our lives, with more fields on the way. As drones are cheaper, more practical and less dangerous than planes, drone flying activities have increased greatly. At the end of 2023, there were nearly 1. 27 million drones across the country. The drone industry is believed to be full of chances. 66．Why did over 100,000 people cheer excitedly? 67．What can drones do after an earthquake? 68．How do drones find where hunters are hiding at night? 69．Why have drone flying activities increased greatly? 70．Give an example of other uses of drones. Passage 15（24-25九年级上·河北邯郸·期末） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 When an exam is coming, some students study alone while others study in groups to prepare for it. Everyone is different and unique, because everyone does not learn in the same way. When you study alone, you may lock yourself in your room with classical music, a cup of tea and so on to make you comfortable. Besides, nobody is moving around or talking near you, which gives you a quiet learning environment. So it is easier for you to focus on exactly what you need to learn. When you study in a group, it helps you keep the study plan. Besides, you are likely to remember more information. This is because you can put the information in your own words rather than reading from a textbook. It’s very similar to teaching the others in your group, which leads to keeping the information better. After looking at the advantages of studying alone or in a group, it can be difficult to tell which is better. But Keith Sawyer, a psychology professor, prefers group studying. He thinks it can provide a way for students to make the notes of their own. Professor Sawyer advises something students must do to get better group studying. First, limit the number of people and a good number is 3 to 5 students. Second, get yourself prepared with notes, questions and topics to look over. Nobody likes wasting time and waiting for you. Finally, pick a place, date and time for when your group will get together to study. 71．What’s the advantage of studying alone? 72．How does it help you when you study in a group? 73．Why does Professor Sawyer prefer group studying? 74．How many suggestions does Professor Sawyer give and what are they? (根据短文简略回答) 75．Which do you prefer, studying alone or studying in groups? Why? Passage 16（23-24九年级上·吉林长春·期末） The oil-paper umbrella has a history of over 1, 000 years in China. It used to be a water-proof (防水的) tool for daily use. There are different stories about the origin of the umbrella in China. The most popular one is related to Lu Ban. It is said that once he and his younger sister visited the West Lake. It started raining suddenly. The sister said, “Let’s have a competition. Before sunrise tomorrow, who comes up with a way to make it possible for people to visit the West Lake even on rainy days will be the winner.” Lu Ban thought it was easy. He collected some tools and materials and spent the whole night building ten pavilions (凉亭) around the lake. He was quite confident about his efforts. The next morning, however, when Lu Ban was talking proudly about his achievements, his sister held something unusual in her hand. It could be opened into a round shape. Lu Ban was surprised. He found that the object made of silk and bamboo strips (竹条) could be opened and closed easily. It was light, beautiful and easy to carry. Lu Ban said, “You win. Your ‘pavilion’ can protect us from rain.” So the umbrella was invented. Later, when paper was invented, people used much cheaper paper to replace silk, cutting the cost of umbrellas. To make the umbrella water-proof, people brushed tung oil (桐油) across the surface. That was how the oil-paper umbrella was invented. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 76．How long is the history of the oil-paper umbrella? 77．Who invented the umbrella according to the most popular story? 78．How did Lu Ban feel when he was talking about his achievements? 79．What did people use to cut the cost of umbrellas later? 80．Why did people brush tung oil across the surface of the umbrella? Passage 17（23-24九年级上·山东日照·期末） 阅读下面短文，回答短文后面的各个小题。 This past May, Joy Kochar and 10 other students got together in Columbus Park, New York. They set up a table with lemon juice, cookies, and biscuits for sale. The kids were hoping to raise money for their school to address a big problem: the spotted lanternfly (白蜡虫), whose number had recently increased rapidly in the area. Spotted lanternflies are an invasive species (入侵物种). The insects are harmful to many plants, and can be bad for all ecosystems. When Joy saw them in her school, she had to do something. “I’ve always wanted to take environmental action,” she says, “and show people that no one is ever too small to make a difference.” So she started a club called Squash (压扁). Its goal is to kill lanternflies around the school. More than 20 students have joined. At first, they trapped (诱捕) the pests in empty water bottles and then killed them. Joy wanted to do more. With research, she discovered a plant called milkweed (乳草) which is toxic (有毒的) to lanternflies. Joy decided that using milkweed along with traps made for lanternflies would be a better way to kill them. Finally, their effort paid off. Squash raised $197, enough to buy milkweed and traps. The effort would not have been a success without teamwork, Joy says. “I learned that two minds are better than one,” she says. “At first I just wanted this to be an personal project. But when I decided to encourage other students to join, I was amazed at how our progress increased.” 81．Why did the students have a sale in Columbus Park? 82．How did the students kill lanternflies at first? 83．What would be a better way to kill lanterflies according to Joy? 84．What did Joy learn from this experience? 85．What do you think of Joy Kochar? Passage 18（24-25九年级上·河北石家庄） 阅读短文，回答下列问题。 ChatGPT is an AI system that can have a discussion with people and create written work. It can create material based on (基于) what is learned from digital books and online passages. Now, three high school students in Cyprus have developed a special robot with their teachers. Why is this robot special? That’s because it uses ChatGPT AI technology. The robot is named AInstein. It is the size of a small adult, and it can also answer questions like humans. AInstein has a screen for a face that appears to show facial expressions. It speaks a North American form of English. And it can tell jokes, like “Why was the math book sad? Because it had too many problems.” The robot enjoys reading science books. It also enjoys spending time playing the violin. The creators of AInstein want to use technology to improve learning experiences in the classroom. In fact, there might be a place for robots in education. British education expert Anthony Seldon even predicts that robots will get control of the classroom in 2027 and teachers will work as their helpers. One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teachers at all. In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers, and 9-10 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That is a real problem. Some local governments don’t know how to deal with this problem. However, that problem can be partly solved by robots. Robots can teach anywhere and don’t get stressed or tired. They will never move somewhere for an easier, high-paid job. 86．Who developed the robot AInstein? 87．Why is the robot AInstein special? 88．What does the robot AInstein like doing? 89．What is the creators’ purpose of inventing the robot AInstein? 90．Why can robots help deal with the problem of not enough teachers? (至少回答出两点) Passage 19（23-24九年级上·湖南长沙·期末） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成下列任务。 On February 21 each year, UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) holds an International Mother Language Day (IMLD). The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance of the world’s languages. Many of them are disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact. What happens when a language dies out? Something great is lost—not just sounds and marks but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. They keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Kill a language and all these are killed too. Through IMLD, more and more people gradually realize the terrible situation and try to stop it. Many upload (上传) texts, audios (音频) and videos on the website of Google’s 2018 Endangered Languages Project to spread ways of communication. Also, the Myaamia Project makes efforts to save the language of the Miami tribes ( ßi&) by encouraging people to study and communicate with it. These activities have one thing in common—they give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep languages alive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities. They “share the word” to save the world. So, while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling of our mother language. This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.” 91．When is the International Mother Language Day held every year? 92．How do people keep different cultures and traditions? 93．What do the activities like the Myaamia Project have in common? 94．Why should we remember the wise words of Nelson Mandela? 95．Do you want to celebrate the International Mother Language Day? Why or why not? Passage 20（23-24九年级上·山东德州·期末） 阅读短文，根据题目要求完成各小题。 Hi! I am making paper airplanes! I’m trying to make different kinds and see how high they fly. You want to join me?

The fourth kid’s name is Mike. You may think this is a talk between two people. But what if it is a robot? This is Chat GPT. It is a clever AI chatbot (聊天机器人) made by a US company. It can do a lot of things. It can answer questions, even open-ended ones. For example, “What’s the meaning of life?” or “It’s 40 degrees out today. What should I wear?” It can give people a movie review in the style of Shakespeare. It can write emails, essays and code. It even passed some university exams. Chat GPT’s knowledge and human-like way of talking amaze (使惊讶) people. But the robot has its problems. It can only answer questions with information in its database (数据库). It is not good at thinking or being creative like humans. 96．What is Chat GPT? 97．What can Chat GPT do? (more than one answer) 98．If you can talk with Chat GPT, what do you want to ask it? 99．Why can’t Chat GPT think creatively? 100．Do you want to have an AI chatbot like Xiao Du or Siri? Why?

However, what you might not realize is that the fashion industry, especially “fast fashion”, is harmful for the planet. What is fast fashion? Fast fashion refers to cheap clothes that are quickly produced to follow the latest styles. Styles change all the time and lots of people like to buy clothes that are in fashion right now. The aim of fast fashion is to get these new styles into shops as fast as possible so customers can buy them. 2 The fashion industry is responsible for between eight and ten percent of greenhouse gas emissions (排放) which pollute the air and cause climate change. To keep prices low, fashion companies often use a fabric (织物) called polyester, which causes harm to the environment. Clothes factories dye (染) fabrics with lots of chemicals, which can also pollute the environment. Making clothes also requires lots of water. Cotton plants need to be often watered to grow, and turning cotton into clothes needs even more water. It takes 10,000 litres to produce a kilogram of cotton, so a single pair of jeans for an adult can use 7,500 litres of water. The clothes then have to be shipped to the places where they’re going to be sold, which produces even more pollution. Fast fashion clothes aren’t made to last forever because they often go out of style quite quickly. Some people throw their clothes away when they don’t want them any more, which makes a lot of waste. Who is helping? Lots of people are working for change, Experts investigate (调查) the environmental and social cost of clothing. People use the information to speak out and ask companies to change. Some clothing companies offer customers vouchers (购物券) to encourage them to recycle their clothes. Some charities have held Second Hand Month, asking people to buy only second-hand clothes in that month. Governments of some countries have written a set of rules to encourage companies to make clothes that last longer. You can help too. You can also raise awareness of the problem among your family and friends or ask a teacher to help you spread the word at your school. 101．What does fast fashion refer to? 102．Please write a heading for Paragraphs 3 and 4. 103．Why do some clothing companies offer customers vouchers? 104．What can you do to help reduce the harm of fast fashion? Please list two points and give reasons. Passage 22 It was a perfect summer morning on the beach in Rio De Janeiro. A man set up his umbrella and chair near the water and was ready to read his book. Just then, when he looked toward the sea, he noticed a small shape that came out of the water. It slowly made its way out onto the sand and began to flap (拍动) its wings. It was obviously weak and tired. When the creature was just a few feet away, the man couldn’t believe his eyes. A penguin? Penguins don’t belong to Rio. The man was amazed. He looked around to see if there was anyone else noticing this strange sight. A jogger soon appeared, followed by another. They stopped and stared. It was clear that the penguin was having trouble breathing. The first jogger looked at the sea and said, “Poor fellow, so far away from home. ” The penguin fell to its side. It had swum 2,000 miles, trying to find the tiny fish that penguins like to eat. Why did the penguin need to travel so far? Perhaps it was confused by moving ocean currents and temperatures—common effects of global warming. The penguin needed help. It would not survive on the hot sand. One of the joggers phoned for help, and soon some firemen arrived. The man was glad that the penguin would soon be safe, although he felt a little sad, too. The event on the beach at Rio happened some time ago. It was only the beginning of penguin migration (迁移) to Brazil. Since that time, hundreds of penguins have appeared on the coasts of Brazil. They come all the way from Patagonia and the Straits of Magellan, southern parts of South America. They land on the sands very tired and hungry, and many of them die. Some are shipped or flown back to colder waters farther south. Perhaps the experience of the penguins will help us better understand the serious effect of human activity on climate change and on the condition of our planet. 105．What season did the story happen in? 106．Why did the man think it strange to see a penguin on the beach of Rio? 107．What probably caused the penguin to land on the beach of Rio? 108．Do you think the writer is worried or happy from the underlined sentence in the passage? 109．What’s the writer’s purpose to write this passage?

That is over 1,600 hours every year! When you are surfing (浏览) the Internet, how much time do you spend looking at one thing? Most people surf very fast. In fact, many web pages (网页) are designed to let users read them very quickly, and then move on. Some people worry about how this is influencing our minds. If you can’t look at a web page for more than a minute, how can you read something longer? Now, a new website has a challenge for users. It asks you to sit back, and do nothing! This website is very simple. It asks you to look at the screen for two minutes. During the time, you can’t touch the mouse (鼠标) or anything of the computer. Does it sound easy? It might be harder than you think, one newspaper reported that more than 20% of people failed on their first try. This website is to help us slow down. It tells us that we don’t need to live such fast and crazy lives. The screen has a picture of a huge ocean. You can also hear the sound of it. It feels like being on a beach.

Passage 24（23-24九年级上·山东淄博·期末） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答下列问题。 What’s your favorite sleeping position? On your back? On your side? How about standing up? Unless you happen to be a giraffe. I’d never have thought anyone would choose the last one. But now, thanks to a Japanese company, it could be a real competitor. Giraffe-nap is invented to allow the user to take a rest while standing when he/she feels tired or sleepy. Its purpose is to help the user improve performance at work. In an introduction to the nap box, the company says that it will allow the user to be refreshed (恢复精神的) in just 20 minutes. But why does it have to be standing? The company explains that studies have shown that sleeping while standing allows people to reach a sleep state and they can breathe easily. When they wake up, they can feel the effect of a nap without having to sleep too much. And they can quickly return to work without feeling dizzy (眩晕的). Also, making the box stand upright means that it takes up half as much floor space. Now, I know what you’re thinking—wouldn’t a person fall down if he tried to sleep while standing? Of course not. Inside the box are four points to support the body—head, buttocks (臀部), legs and feet. That means he can rest his arms, legs and head in the box while still remaining upright. Giraffe-nap has been made in two different styles. They’re expected to go on sale at the end of next year. So when that time comes, I hope you’ll try sleeping standing up—just like giraffes do. 115．What is giraffe-nap? 116．Who invented giraffe-nap? 117．How soon will the user be refreshed in the giraffe-nap box? 118．List at least one piece of advantage about giraffe nap. 119．Why wouldn’t a person fall down if he tried to sleep while standing? Passage 25（24-25九年级上·北京朝阳·期末） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Four Great New Inventions China’s “Four Great New Inventions” in modern times have made the daily life of the public more and more convenient. They are the high-speed railway (HSR), shopping online, shared bikes and mobile phone payment. Living in Singapore, I had only read about these technologies through newspapers, TV, and the Internet. But last October, I traveled to China and had the chance to experience all of them for the first time. As it was Golden Week, I quickly learned that getting a train ticket at the station was nearly impossible because of high demand (高需求). Luckily, I was able to buy a ticket to Beijing online and pay for it through Alipay, which was much more convenient than I expected. It was even cheaper than it was bought in the station. Then we got on the high-speed train. I was shocked at its speed and quietness. There was no noise which the train made while running. It was reported that China has the longest high-speed railway in the world, which is known as a “name card” for China. China’s HSR has also gone abroad. In 2014, China finished building its first foreign high-speed rail in Turkey. In June 2015, China and Russia agreed to build the 770 km of high-speed railway connecting Moscow and Kazan. In October 2015, China helped Indonesia to build a high-speed rail between Jakarta and Bandung. Did I feel bored during the trip on the train? Not at all. I bought many cheap and good things in Taobao and Tmall on the Internet through my mobile phone. It’s amazing that there are oceans of products in Taobao and Tmall. Soon we arrived in Beijing. We got on a bus near the train station. After getting off the bus, my friend told me that the bus stop is a little bit far from his home. I thought we would have to spend much money going to his home on a taxi, but it seemed that he wasn’t worried about that. He showed me some bikes on the side of the street. They are called shared bikes. We used the mobile phones to scan the Quick Response code (扫描二维码) on shared bikes, and then we rode the bikes home. It was so cool! 120．What are China’s “Four Great New Inventions”? 121．When did China finish building its first foreign high-speed rail? 122．How did the writer and his friend use the shared bikes? 123．Of China’s “Four Great New Invention”, which one do you think makes your life better? Why?

Even if you don’t need anything, you still leave the store with bags of new clothes. This doesn’t seem so bad. However, there are a lot of other costs behind the low price. It’s clear that the fashion industry is terrible for the earth. It uses a lot of resources (资源) and pollutes the environment with waste. Fashion is one of the least sustainable (可持续的) industries. We’ve all become our own waste managers, collecting fashion waste in our homes. It doesn’t just take up space but also ends up in landfills (垃圾场). Three out of every five pieces of clothing are sent to landfills. Luckily, second-hand clothing is becoming popular. It’s cheaper. More and more people choose to buy second-hand clothing. The value of the second-hand market may reach $80 billion by 2029, an increase of 185% compared to the value at present. In fact, there is still an even better choice. It’s not to shop at all. Making full use of what you have already had is the best choice of shopping. 1．Where will most of our clothing end up? 2．Why is second-hand clothing becoming popular? 3．How much may the value of the second-hand market reach by 2029? 4．What’s the best choice of shopping according to the passage? 5．What do you think of the fashion industry? 【答案】1．In landfills. 2．Because it’s cheaper. 3．$80 billion. 4． Making full use of what you have already had. 5．开放性试题，需结合原文对时尚产业的描述作答，言之有理即可。参考答案为：It’s terrible for the earth. It uses many resources and pollutes the environment with waste. It is one of the least sustainable industries. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“时尚产业的危害”这一主题，提出了明确的观点（时尚业对环境有害、不可持续），并提供了论据（浪费资源、污染环境、填埋垃圾），最后给出了解决方案（购买二手衣物、充分利用已有衣物而非盲目购物），旨在说服读者重新思考消费习惯。 1．根据第三段“We’ve all become our own waste managers, collecting fashion waste in our homes. It doesn’t just take up space but also ends up in landfills (垃圾场). Three out of every five pieces of clothing are sent to landfills.”可知，大部分衣物最终会被送到垃圾场。故填In landfills. 2．根据第四段“Luckily, second-hand clothing is becoming popular. It’s cheaper.”可知，二手服装受欢迎的原因是它更便宜。故填Because it’s cheaper. 3．根据第四段“The value of the second-hand market may reach $80 billion by 2029, an increase of 185% compared to the value at present.”可知，到2029年二手服装市场的价值可能达到800亿美元。故填$80 billion. 4．根据最后一段“In fact, there is still an even better choice.

The Pony Express, a fast mail delivery service, successfully completed its first journey from Saint Joseph in Missouri to Sacramento in California. This exciting journey began on April 3. The Pony Express hired skilled horse riders to carry letters and small packages. They promised delivery from one end of the run to the other in 10 days or less! Finally, there was a way to communicate with friends and family who live far away. You would not have to depend on slow boats or stagecoaches. About 180 riders, 400 fast horses, and 190 pony express stations made up the pony express. Its riders were mainly of small build, and many were teenagers. A day’s work was made up of about a 75-mile trip, with stops at several stations. The stations were about 10 to 15 miles apart. Riders earned about $100 to $150 a month. The Pony Express worked day and night to make sure important letters and packages arrived on time. October 26, 1861—Sad news for the pony express. After only about 19 months, the service closed its doors because of the opening of the telegraph (电报), a device that has changed long-distance communication. The Pony Express lost a lot of money and had to stop. Before closing, the Pony Express set a record that delivering a package took just 7 days and 17 hours from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California. 6．When did the pony express finish its first journey? 7．What made up the pony express? 8．How many stations would a rider of the pony express pass by in a day at least? 9．Why did the pony express close its doors? 10．How do you usually communicate with your far-away friends?

Some people find joy in their family and job, while others find it in the little things in life, like a sunrise or a colorful flower they see on their daily walk. Owning a pet can also bring joy to a person’s life. Whether it’s a dog, cat or bird in your home, pets are good for you. And now, there is a new kind of pet available. It’s the robotic pet. A robotic pet is a robot invented to look and act like a pet. These robots are not toys you would buy for a child. They are actually created for adults unable to have or care for a real pet on their own. For example, because of mobility (移动能力) or memory problems, some elders may find it challenging to take pets for a walk or remember to feed them. That’s why a robotic pet can be very useful. Robotic pets provide their owners with the same benefits (好处) like real pets. A 2024 study found that people with mild dementia (轻度痴呆) also benefited from staying with robotic pets. 50% of them showed improvements in their ability to pay attention and make conversations. Thanks to the technology, more people can experience the happiness that pets bring into their lives. What a beautiful win-win! 11．Where can people find joy according to Paragraph 1? 12．Who are robotic pets mainly created for? 13．Why is it challenging for some elders to keep pets? 14．What did the study in 2024 find out? 15．Do you want to have a real pet or a robotic pet? why? 【答案】11．They can find joy in their family, job, the little things in life and keeping/owning pets. 12．Adults unable to have or care for a real pet on their own./They are mainly created for adults who are unable to have or care for a real pet on their own. 13．Because of mobility or memory problems. 14．It found that people with mild dementia also benefited from staying with robotic pets. 15．I want to have a robotic pet because it’s useful and interesting./I want to have a robotic pet because I don’t need to walk or feed it. 【导语】本文主要讲述了新型机器人宠物为无法养宠者带来了同样体验。 11．根据“Some people find joy in their family and job, while others find it in the little things in life…”可知，人们可以在家庭、工作、生活中的小事中找到欢乐。故填They can find joy in their family, job, the little things in life and keeping/owning pets. 12．根据“They are actually created for adults unable to have or care for a real pet on their own.”可知，机器人宠物主要是为无法养活或者照顾真实宠物的成年人设计的。故填Adults unable to have or care for a real pet on their own./They are mainly created for adults who are unable to have or care for a real pet on their own. 13．根据“For example, because of mobility (移动能力) or memory problems, some elders may find it challenging to take pets for a walk or remember to feed them.”可知，老年人因为行动能力或者记忆问题面临养宠物的挑战。故填Because of mobility or memory problems. 14．根据“A 2024 study found that people with mild dementia (轻度痴呆) also benefited from staying with robotic pets.”可知，2024年的研究发现，轻度痴呆患者从与机器人宠物的陪伴中获益，注意力和交流能力有所改善。故填It found that people with mild dementia also benefited from staying with robotic pets. 15．开放性问题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：I want to have a robotic pet because it’s useful and interesting./I want to have a robotic pet because I don’t need to walk or feed it. Passage 4（24-25九年级上·江苏南通·期末） 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Did you know that sign language also has “dialects” (方言)? Sign language is the main way deaf people communicate. Since they can’t hear, talking to hearing people can be hard. Luckily, sign language interpreters (翻译) are there to help. Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her first language, as her parents are deaf. “I began to learn sign language before I could even talk,” she recalled. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law office in Chongqing. Her work takes her to places like courts, where shed interprets for deaf people. As sign language has fewer words, Hao often meets difficult legal terms that have no direct match. In such situations, she carefully explains the meaning for deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. “For example, the words ‘put out a fire’ are signed as a fire put out in sign language because deaf people describe what they see first,” Hao explained. Hao feels stressed at work because accuracy (准确性) is important in legal interpretations. Her stress also comes from the fact that sign language has “dialects”. The same word can be expressed with different hand signs depending on where a deaf person is from. “For example, people in Inner Mongolia and Chongqing use different signs for the word ‘true’,” Hao explained. Having traveled to over 30 cities in China, she has learned about the ways deaf people across the country use sign language. In her spare time, Hao reads many law books and talks with lawyers and her deaf coworkers to improve her professional ability. “My parents are deaf, so I understand the difficulties faced by the deaf community. I want to do everything I can to help them,” Hao said. 16．Who can help deaf people talk to hearing people according to the passage? 17．When did Hao Shuxin start to learn sign language? 18．Why does Hao feel stressed at work? 19．How does Hao improve her professional ability in her free time? 20．What do you think of Hao? And why? (请自拟一句话作答) 【答案】16．Sign language interpreters. 17．Before she could even talk. 18．Because accuracy is important in legal interpretations and sign language has “dialects”. 19．In her spare time, Hao reads many law books and talks with lawyers and her deaf coworkers to improve her professional ability. 20．She is hard-working and caring. Because she tries to improve her professional skills in order to help the deaf community. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了手语译员郝舒欣在帮助聋人群体进行法律翻译工作中的挑战和努力。 16．根据“Sign language is the main way deaf people communicate.

I want to do everything I can to help them.”可知，她工作勤奋，有爱心。因为她试图提高自己的专业技能，以帮助聋人社区。故填She is hard-working and caring. Because she tries to improve her professional skills in order to help the deaf community. Passage 5（24-25九年级上·山西临汾·期末） 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 Seventy percent of our planet is covered by the ocean. In 2008, the UN regarded June 8 as World Oceans Day. It is so important that it is now celebrated in over 100 countries around the world. It’s a day to think about the important role that the ocean plays in our lives, the dangers that our oceans are facing and the action we can take to protect the ocean. 2 ·It is home to many plants and animals on earth. ·Sea plants provide us with 70 % of the oxygen we breathe. ·It controls our climate (气候), providing heat in winter and cool air in summer. ·It also provides us with food and medicine. When people talk of exploring (开发) the sea, there are two different points. No: Sea exploration has caused many problems and will continue to cause more. More exploration means more pollution. One of the worst is plastic pollution. Many birds and fish died of this. Mining for resources (资源开采) harms a lot, especially in the Arctic. The thickest, oldest and hardest sea ice around it is melting. Climate change is warning us that something is very wrong. Overfishing is another problem. Whales and dolphins are also killed for their meat or for so-called research. Although this was not allowed in 1982, some countries are still hurt these clever animals. Yes: To truly understand our planet, we must explore the oceans. For example, some research can help answer some important questions such as climate change. We need to understand what is happening to our planet so that we can take action. Therefore, more research is necessary. Understanding more about the sea will also help us manage its resources better. It may help us discover new medicines, as well as new sources of food and energy. Getting to the deep ocean may also help us to predict events such as earthquakes. The population of the world is growing and we need new resources for future development. There are probably more resources under the sea and ice, not just oil and gas but also valuable minerals. As we all know, the ocean is the treasure to our life. Now it is crying out for our help!

Passage 6（24-25九年级上·山东德州·期末） 阅读短文，根据题目要求完成各小题。 Last week we went on a school trip to a science museum. Ms Liu, the guide, showed us around a smart room. We started with the front door. Ms Liu asked me to ring the doorbell. I didn’t notice the tiny camera that was fixed just above it. After I pressed the doorbell, the camera sent a live video (视频直播) to the home-owners. “They can electronically open the door when they are not in the house.” said Ms Liu. The other thing I couldn’t see on the door was a lock, “There must be one,” I thought. At this time. Ms Liu took out a smart phone and put it against the door. And it opened. “Oh, it is on the smart phone.” After entering the living room, I saw a computer on the table. The owners use the computer to control how much energy is used. In this way, they can manage their living cost. One of the rooms I wanted to see most was the bedroom. To my surprise, the bed disappeared into the floor at the touch of the smart phone. The window has a smart blind (百叶窗). It can be raised and lowered with a voice. As I left the smart home, I looked back on what I had just seen. Scientists often say that these products are improving our life. I think the technology in the smart home may make us lazier. However, there is no doubt that it will become more popular in the homes of tomorrow. 26．What does the underlined “they” in paragraph 2 refer to? 27．Where is the key to the door? 28．How can the owners control how much energy is used? 29．Which room is the most attractive to the writer according to the passage? 30．Do you like the technology in the smart home?

Learning or forgetting a language means knowing or not knowing a way to talk. Although we don’t use our dialect (方言) very often, it still influences all of us. Since language diversity (多样性) is something we all share, it’s our responsibility to protect it. Technology can protect languages, like helping us record and save languages, spread them around and study them. But we need to be careful and work hard to protect language diversity. —Adapted from a Conference (Chart I) Dialect is a tool that people use to talk with each other. Usually, it can fully express what the speaker wants to say and achieve the goal of communication. This kind of dialect has enough power. However, nowadays, many people mainly use Putonghua in their daily lives. Even in some places where people seem to use dialects, many expressions of new things in society are mixed with the pronunciation of Putonghua, and sometimes even the whole sentence is changed to Putonghua. Home is the last place where dialects are used. According to a survey, from the communication terms used by three generations in the families of Suzhou locals, we could find the reasons that influence the use of language. First, social and cultural background including a person’s values, beliefs and customs can influence the way he or she communicates. The second is about the educational background, which can influence a person’s skilled use of language and the type of language he or she uses. We can do something to keep the family’s language tradition. For example, we can create a good environment where the family’s language is spoken and used regularly. Besides, grandparents teach children their dialect and culture, while children teach grandparents new words and expressions. Artificial intelligence (AI) uses some interesting pictures to give power to the Suzhou dialect. It hopes that the familiar local accent (口音) can bring back memories of the dialect from people’s childhood and make them feel more connected to their hometown. It also hopes that more young people will take action to protect the dialect, develop an interest in it, speak the dialect and tell more Suzhou stories in Suzhou dialect. The more a language is used, the more alive it becomes. Artificial intelligence protects the dialect through intelligent voice innovation (智能语音创新). It brings the dialect closer to young people. 31．What does “learning or forgetting a language” mean? 32．Why is technology mentioned when talking about the language in Chart I? 33．What can we know from Chart II? 34．Please fill in the blank in Chart III? 35．Do you often use dialects in your daily life? What do you think of using dialects? 【答案】31．It means knowing or not knowing a way to talk. 32．To show that technology can protect the languages. 33．We know that the old use dialect more often than the young. 34．Educational background. 35．Yes, I often use dialects in my daily life. I think it can help us communicate with the local people better. (开放性试题，言之有理即可) 【导语】本文主要讨论了语言多样性的重要性以及保护方言的必要性，特别强调了人工智能和技术在保护和传承方言中的作用。 31．根据“Learning or forgetting a language means knowing or not knowing a way to talk. ”可知，学习或忘记一门语言意味着知道或不知道一种说话方式，故填It means knowing or not knowing a way to talk. 32．根据表格I中“Technology can protect languages, like helping us record and save languages, spread them around and study them.”可知，文中提到技术是为了表明技术可以保护语言，故填To show that technology can protect the languages. 33．根据表格Ⅱ中的数据可知，老年人比年轻人更常使用这种方言。故填We know that the old use dialect more often than the young. 34．根据“The second is about the educational background, which can influence a person’s skilled use of language and the type of language he or she uses.”可知，教育背景是影响语言使用的另一原因，故填Educational background. 35．开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案为Yes, I often use dialects in my daily life. I think it can help us communicate with the local people better.

The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) and other greenhouse gases, which are closely connected to the big problem of global-warming (全球变暖). Way 1:Bring your own cup to Starbucks. You’ll get a 10-cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a dustbin. The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup. Way 2 : Turn off your computer. When in standby mode (待机模式), your PC is still using energy. Turning off a monitor (显示器) for 40 hours a week may only save $5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds! Way 3: Reuse plastic bags. Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag. You’re reducing pollution. The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile. Way 4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom. Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests previously untouched by humans. If every family took the place of one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424, 000 trees would still be standing. Way 5: Plant a free.

When children are unable to attend school, the separation from the classroom and friends can have a bad influence on them. Norwegian company No Isolation has created the AV1 robot, designed to help long-term ill children attend their classes remotely (远程地) through a 360-degree camera, microphone, and speaker, allowing students to interact (互动) with their teachers and classmates from home by controlling the robot remotely through an app. “They can move their fingers to change where the robot is looking,” explains Florence Salisbury, marketing director at the company. “They can also choose emojis that appear in the robot’s eyes, and show their emotions in real time, as if they are attending school in person.” The main advantage of the robot is not just academic (学业的), but rather social. Long-term sickness takes away the interaction of children with their friends and classmates. Therefore, the role of AV1 is to maintain these important links. Salisbury shared an example of a 15-year-old boy in England who uses AV1. His friends even take the robot with them to lunch so that he can still feel included in their talks. “The robot is loved by students and makes a real difference,” Salisbury adds. “It makes sick children feel important.” Although the robot also receives praise from both parents and teachers, it is facing some challenges. Bad Wi-Fi connection is a main challenge, as it affects the robot’s performance. Privacy leak (泄露), which may bring trouble to the robot users, is another challenge. However, Salisbury says that No Isolation is working on these issues. 56．Who is the AV1 robot designed to help? 57．How do ill children interact with their teachers and classmates from home? 58．Why do the 15-year-old boy’s friends take the robot with them to have lunch? 59．According to the last paragraph, what challenges is the robot facing? 60．Do you want to use AV1 if you have a chance? And why? 【答案】56．Long-term ill children. 57．By controlling the robot remotely through an app. 58．Because he can feel included in their talks. / To help him feel included in their talks. 59．Bad Wi-Fi connection and privacy leak. 60．Yes, because it helps stay connected with others. 【导语】本文主要讲述了一种名为AV1的机器人，它帮助因生病无法上学的孩子通过远程技术参与学习和与同学互动，同时分析了该技术的优势和面临的挑战。 56．根据“the AV1 robot, designed to help long-term ill children attend their classes remotely (远程地)”可知，AV1机器人是为帮助长期生病的儿童而设计的。故填Long-term ill children. 57．根据“allowing students to interact (互动) with their teachers and classmates from home by controlling the robot remotely through an app”可知，生病的孩子通过远程操控机器人与老师和同学互动。故填By controlling the robot remotely through an app. 58．根据“His friends even take the robot with them to lunch so that he can still feel included in their talks”可知，15岁男孩的朋友带机器人一起吃饭是为了让他觉得自己也参与了他们的谈话。故填Because he can feel included in their talks. / To help him feel included in their talks. 59．根据“Bad Wi-Fi connection is a main challenge, as it affects the robot’s performance.

Passage 13（24-25九年级上·河北唐山·期末） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 3D printing is an amazing technology that has changed the way we make things. It was first invented in the 1980s and has developed a lot since then. The process of 3D printing is really interesting. First, we need to design a 3D model of the object we want to make using special computer software. Then, the 3D printer reads the model and starts to build the object layer by layer. It uses different materials like plastics, metals, or ceramics (陶瓷) to create the object. 3D printing has many great uses. It can be used in the medical field, the manufacturing (制造业) industry and so on. It can make parts for cars, airplanes, and other machines. It can also be used to make beautiful jewelry (珠宝) and toys. Another advantage of 3D printing is that it can save a lot of materials. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods where a lot of material is cut away and wasted, 3D printing only uses the amount of material needed to build the object. However, 3D printing also has some problems. The 3D printers and the materials can be quite expensive, so not everyone can afford them. Also, the printing speed is usually slower than traditional manufacturing methods, which means it takes more time to make a large number of products. In the future, 3D printing will probably become more and more popular and advanced. We may be able to print even more complex and useful things with it, like houses and even human organs. It will bring more convenience and possibilities to our lives. 61．When was 3D printing first invented? 62．What materials does 3D printing often use to create objects? 63．Where can 3D printing be used? 64．Is 3D printing speed usually faster or slower than traditional manufacturing methods? 65．Do you like 3D printing? Why or why not? 【答案】61．In the 1980s. 62．Plastics, metals, or ceramics. 63．In the medical field, the manufacturing industry and so on. 64．Slower. 65．Yes, I do. Because it has changed the way we make things. (答案不唯一，不管是用文中的还是自创的理由，合理即可) 【导语】本文介绍了3D打印技术。 61．根据“It was first invented in the 1980s and has developed a lot since then.”可知，它最早是在20世纪80年代发明的。故填In the 1980s. 62．根据“It uses different materials like plastics, metals, or ceramics (陶瓷) to create the object.”可知，它使用不同的材料，如塑料、金属或陶瓷来制造物体。故填Plastics, metals, or ceramics. 63．根据“3D printing has many great uses.

The 15-minute drone show had 300 million views online. In fact, drones are easy to control. People send orders to the control system (系统). Rotors push against the air to make the drone rise or stay in the air. By changing the angle (角度) and the speed of different rotors, the drone flies in all directions. Drones can complete difficult and special tasks in a timely and effective (有效的) way. After an earthquake, drones can fly over blocked roads to find people. Reaching the mountain village by road may take several hours, but drones provide information in just a few minutes. For weak wildlife populations, drones can show where hunters are hiding. At night, drones with infrared (红外线的) cameras can easily find them in the dark. Drones also provide convenience for the public. For example, at a sports event, drones are used to give a view from above or help coaches see how their players are doing. In a word, drones have been widely used in our lives, with more fields on the way. As drones are cheaper, more practical and less dangerous than planes, drone flying activities have increased greatly. At the end of 2023, there were nearly 1. 27 million drones across the country.

Everyone is different and unique, because everyone does not learn in the same way. When you study alone, you may lock yourself in your room with classical music, a cup of tea and so on to make you comfortable. Besides, nobody is moving around or talking near you, which gives you a quiet learning environment. So it is easier for you to focus on exactly what you need to learn. When you study in a group, it helps you keep the study plan. Besides, you are likely to remember more information. This is because you can put the information in your own words rather than reading from a textbook. It’s very similar to teaching the others in your group, which leads to keeping the information better. After looking at the advantages of studying alone or in a group, it can be difficult to tell which is better. But Keith Sawyer, a psychology professor, prefers group studying. He thinks it can provide a way for students to make the notes of their own. Professor Sawyer advises something students must do to get better group studying. First, limit the number of people and a good number is 3 to 5 students. Second, get yourself prepared with notes, questions and topics to look over. Nobody likes wasting time and waiting for you. Finally, pick a place, date and time for when your group will get together to study. 71．What’s the advantage of studying alone? 72．How does it help you when you study in a group? 73．Why does Professor Sawyer prefer group studying? 74．How many suggestions does Professor Sawyer give and what are they? (根据短文简略回答) 75．Which do you prefer, studying alone or studying in groups? Why? 【答案】71．It is easier for you to focus on what you need to learn. 72．It helps you keep the study plan and remember more information. 73．Because he thinks it can provide a way for students to make the notes of their own. 74．Three/3. Limit the number of people, get yourself prepared, and pick a place, date and time. 75．I prefer studying in groups because it helps me stay motivated, stick to a plan, and better understand and remember information through discussion. 【导语】本文介绍了单独学习和小组学习的优点。 71．根据文中“nobody is moving around or talking near you, which gives you a quiet learning environment. So it is easier for you to focus on exactly what you need to learn.”可知，独自学习的好处是环境安静，更容易专注于你需要学习的东西。 故填It is easier for you to focus on what you need to learn. 72．根据“When you study in a group, it helps you keep the study plan.

Passage 17（23-24九年级上·山东日照·期末） 阅读下面短文，回答短文后面的各个小题。 This past May, Joy Kochar and 10 other students got together in Columbus Park, New York. They set up a table with lemon juice, cookies, and biscuits for sale. The kids were hoping to raise money for their school to address a big problem: the spotted lanternfly (白蜡虫), whose number had recently increased rapidly in the area. Spotted lanternflies are an invasive species (入侵物种). The insects are harmful to many plants, and can be bad for all ecosystems. When Joy saw them in her school, she had to do something. “I’ve always wanted to take environmental action,” she says, “and show people that no one is ever too small to make a difference.” So she started a club called Squash (压扁). Its goal is to kill lanternflies around the school. More than 20 students have joined. At first, they trapped (诱捕) the pests in empty water bottles and then killed them. Joy wanted to do more. With research, she discovered a plant called milkweed (乳草) which is toxic (有毒的) to lanternflies. Joy decided that using milkweed along with traps made for lanternflies would be a better way to kill them. Finally, their effort paid off. Squash raised $197, enough to buy milkweed and traps. The effort would not have been a success without teamwork, Joy says. “I learned that two minds are better than one,” she says. “At first I just wanted this to be an personal project. But when I decided to encourage other students to join, I was amazed at how our progress increased.” 81．Why did the students have a sale in Columbus Park? 82．How did the students kill lanternflies at first? 83．What would be a better way to kill lanterflies according to Joy? 84．What did Joy learn from this experience? 85．What do you think of Joy Kochar? 【答案】81．They wanted to raise money for their school to address the problem of the spotted lanternfly. 82．At first, they trapped the pests in empty water bottles and then killed them. 83．Using milkweed along with traps made for lanternflies would be a better way. 84．She learned that teamwork is important and two minds are better than one. 85．Joy Kochar is an environmentally conscious and proactive student who is willing to take action to solve problems and has a good understanding of teamwork. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲的是一个学校的孩子们为了消杀出现在学校的白蜡虫而付出努力的故事。这项活动体现了团队合作的重要性，也让参与者明白一个道理：两人智慧胜一人。 81．根据“The kids were hoping to raise money for their school to address a big problem: the spotted lanternfly (白蜡虫), whose number had recently increased rapidly in the area.”可知，他们这样做是为了募集一些资金，以用于消杀白蜡虫。故填They wanted to raise money for their school to address the problem of the spotted lanternfly. 82．根据“At first, they trapped (诱捕) the pests in empty water bottles and then killed them.”可知，起初，他们用空水瓶捕捉害虫，然后将它们杀死。故填At first, they trapped the pests in empty water bottles and then killed them. 83．根据“With research, she discovered a plant called milkweed (乳草) which is toxic (有毒的) to lanternflies. Joy decided that using milkweed along with traps made for lanternflies would be a better way to kill them.”可知。通过研究，她发现了一种叫做乳草的植物，这种植物对白蜡虫有毒。乔伊决定使用乳草和为白蜡虫制作的陷阱来杀死它们，这样会更好。故填Using milkweed along with traps made for lanternflies would be a better way. 84．根据“The effort would not have been a success without teamwork, Joy says. ‘I learned that two minds are better than one,’”可知，乔伊明白了如果没有团队合作，这项努力是不会成功的。两人智慧胜一人的道理。故填She learned that teamwork is important and two minds are better than one. 85．开放性作答，答案不唯一。参考回答：Joy Kochar is an environmentally conscious and proactive student who is willing to take action to solve problems and has a good understanding of teamwork. Passage 18（24-25九年级上·河北石家庄） 阅读短文，回答下列问题。 ChatGPT is an AI system that can have a discussion with people and create written work. It can create material based on (基于) what is learned from digital books and online passages. Now, three high school students in Cyprus have developed a special robot with their teachers. Why is this robot special? That’s because it uses ChatGPT AI technology. The robot is named AInstein. It is the size of a small adult, and it can also answer questions like humans. AInstein has a screen for a face that appears to show facial expressions. It speaks a North American form of English. And it can tell jokes, like “Why was the math book sad? Because it had too many problems.” The robot enjoys reading science books. It also enjoys spending time playing the violin. The creators of AInstein want to use technology to improve learning experiences in the classroom. In fact, there might be a place for robots in education. British education expert Anthony Seldon even predicts that robots will get control of the classroom in 2027 and teachers will work as their helpers. One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teachers at all. In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers, and 9-10 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That is a real problem. Some local governments don’t know how to deal with this problem. However, that problem can be partly solved by robots. Robots can teach anywhere and don’t get stressed or tired.

Passage 19（23-24九年级上·湖南长沙·期末） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成下列任务。 On February 21 each year, UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) holds an International Mother Language Day (IMLD). The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance of the world’s languages. Many of them are disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact. What happens when a language dies out? Something great is lost—not just sounds and marks but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. They keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Kill a language and all these are killed too. Through IMLD, more and more people gradually realize the terrible situation and try to stop it. Many upload (上传) texts, audios (音频) and videos on the website of Google’s 2018 Endangered Languages Project to spread ways of communication. Also, the Myaamia Project makes efforts to save the language of the Miami tribes ( ßi&) by encouraging people to study and communicate with it. These activities have one thing in common—they give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep languages alive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities. They “share the word” to save the world. So, while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling of our mother language. This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head.

However, what you might not realize is that the fashion industry, especially “fast fashion”, is harmful for the planet. What is fast fashion? Fast fashion refers to cheap clothes that are quickly produced to follow the latest styles. Styles change all the time and lots of people like to buy clothes that are in fashion right now. The aim of fast fashion is to get these new styles into shops as fast as possible so customers can buy them. 2 The fashion industry is responsible for between eight and ten percent of greenhouse gas emissions (排放) which pollute the air and cause climate change. To keep prices low, fashion companies often use a fabric (织物) called polyester, which causes harm to the environment. Clothes factories dye (染) fabrics with lots of chemicals, which can also pollute the environment. Making clothes also requires lots of water. Cotton plants need to be often watered to grow, and turning cotton into clothes needs even more water. It takes 10,000 litres to produce a kilogram of cotton, so a single pair of jeans for an adult can use 7,500 litres of water. The clothes then have to be shipped to the places where they’re going to be sold, which produces even more pollution. Fast fashion clothes aren’t made to last forever because they often go out of style quite quickly. Some people throw their clothes away when they don’t want them any more, which makes a lot of waste. Who is helping? Lots of people are working for change, Experts investigate (调查) the environmental and social cost of clothing. People use the information to speak out and ask companies to change. Some clothing companies offer customers vouchers (购物券) to encourage them to recycle their clothes. Some charities have held Second Hand Month, asking people to buy only second-hand clothes in that month. Governments of some countries have written a set of rules to encourage companies to make clothes that last longer. You can help too. You can also raise awareness of the problem among your family and friends or ask a teacher to help you spread the word at your school. 101．What does fast fashion refer to? 102．Please write a heading for Paragraphs 3 and 4. 103．Why do some clothing companies offer customers vouchers? 104．What can you do to help reduce the harm of fast fashion? Please list two points and give reasons. 【答案】101．It refers to cheap clothes that are quickly produced to follow the latest styles. 102．Why is that a problem? 103．To encourage them to recycle their clothes. 104．①Make posters. As a student, I can make posters to promote the dangers of fast fashion and reduce its use. ②Remodel old clothes. As a student, I can buy less fast-fashion clothes and transform old clothes so that resources can be reused. 【导语】本文主要讲述了快时尚行业对环境产生了负面影响，文章介绍了一些方法可以帮助我们明智地购物，从而帮助地球。 101．根据“Fast fashion refers to cheap clothes that are quickly produced to follow the latest styles. ”可知，快时尚是指为紧跟最新潮流而迅速生产的廉价服装。故填It refers to cheap clothes that are quickly produced to follow the latest styles. 102．根据三、四段内容可知，两段都在讲述快时尚行业对环境所造成的负面影响。再根据小标题“What is fast fashion?”及“ Who is helping?”可知，可以从是什么、为什么和怎么办三个方面展开。故填Why is that a problem? 103．根据最后一段“Some clothing companies offer customers vouchers (购物券) to encourage them to recycle their clothes.”可知，若干服装公司向顾客发放购物券，以激励其回收旧衣。故填To encourage them to recycle their clothes. 104．根据题目要求可知，此处应给出2点减少快时尚危害的措施，并给出原因，开放性试题，言之成理即可。 ①Make posters.

A man set up his umbrella and chair near the water and was ready to read his book. Just then, when he looked toward the sea, he noticed a small shape that came out of the water. It slowly made its way out onto the sand and began to flap (拍动) its wings. It was obviously weak and tired. When the creature was just a few feet away, the man couldn’t believe his eyes. A penguin? Penguins don’t belong to Rio. The man was amazed. He looked around to see if there was anyone else noticing this strange sight. A jogger soon appeared, followed by another. They stopped and stared. It was clear that the penguin was having trouble breathing. The first jogger looked at the sea and said, “Poor fellow, so far away from home. ” The penguin fell to its side. It had swum 2,000 miles, trying to find the tiny fish that penguins like to eat. Why did the penguin need to travel so far? Perhaps it was confused by moving ocean currents and temperatures—common effects of global warming. The penguin needed help. It would not survive on the hot sand. One of the joggers phoned for help, and soon some firemen arrived. The man was glad that the penguin would soon be safe, although he felt a little sad, too. The event on the beach at Rio happened some time ago. It was only the beginning of penguin migration (迁移) to Brazil. Since that time, hundreds of penguins have appeared on the coasts of Brazil. They come all the way from Patagonia and the Straits of Magellan, southern parts of South America. They land on the sands very tired and hungry, and many of them die. Some are shipped or flown back to colder waters farther south. Perhaps the experience of the penguins will help us better understand the serious effect of human activity on climate change and on the condition of our planet. 105．What season did the story happen in? 106．Why did the man think it strange to see a penguin on the beach of Rio? 107．What probably caused the penguin to land on the beach of Rio? 108．Do you think the writer is worried or happy from the underlined sentence in the passage? 109．What’s the writer’s purpose to write this passage? 【答案】105．It happened in summer. 106．Because penguins don’t belong to/live in Rio. 107．The moving ocean currents and temperatures./The global warming. 108．He is worried./Worried. 109．To remind people to mind human activity and protect our planet. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了受人类活动影响，气候和生存环境在发生变化，原本生活在南极的企鹅现在开始游向巴西海滩觅食，甚至在此过程中死于饥饿，这一现象不得不引起人们反思。 105．根据“It was a perfect summer morning on the beach in Rio De Janeiro.”这是里约热内卢海滩上一个完美的夏日早晨。可知是夏天。故填It happened in summer. 106．根据“When the creature was just a few feet away, the man couldn’t believe his eyes.

Passage 24（23-24九年级上·山东淄博·期末） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答下列问题。 What’s your favorite sleeping position? On your back? On your side? How about standing up? Unless you happen to be a giraffe. I’d never have thought anyone would choose the last one. But now, thanks to a Japanese company, it could be a real competitor. Giraffe-nap is invented to allow the user to take a rest while standing when he/she feels tired or sleepy. Its purpose is to help the user improve performance at work. In an introduction to the nap box, the company says that it will allow the user to be refreshed (恢复精神的) in just 20 minutes. But why does it have to be standing? The company explains that studies have shown that sleeping while standing allows people to reach a sleep state and they can breathe easily. When they wake up, they can feel the effect of a nap without having to sleep too much. And they can quickly return to work without feeling dizzy (眩晕的). Also, making the box stand upright means that it takes up half as much floor space. Now, I know what you’re thinking—wouldn’t a person fall down if he tried to sleep while standing? Of course not. Inside the box are four points to support the body—head, buttocks (臀部), legs and feet. That means he can rest his arms, legs and head in the box while still remaining upright. Giraffe-nap has been made in two different styles. They’re expected to go on sale at the end of next year. So when that time comes, I hope you’ll try sleeping standing up—just like giraffes do. 115．What is giraffe-nap? 116．Who invented giraffe-nap? 117．How soon will the user be refreshed in the giraffe-nap box? 118．List at least one piece of advantage about giraffe nap. 119．Why wouldn’t a person fall down if he tried to sleep while standing? 【答案】115．It is a nap box. 116．A Japanese company. 117．In 20 minutes. 118．They can help people quickly return to work without feeling dizzy. 119．Because inside the box are four points to support the body. 【导语】本文介绍了一家日本公司发明了一种名为Giraffenap的产品，可以让人站着休息，目的是提高工作表现，这款产品预计将在明年年底开始销售。 115．根据“Giraffe-nap is invented to allow the user to take a rest while standing when he/she feels tired or sleepy.”以及“When they wake up, they can feel the effect of a nap without having to sleep too much.”可知，这是一个午睡盒。故填It is a nap box. 116．根据“But now, thanks to a Japanese company, it could be a real competitor.”可知，是一家日本公司发明的午睡盒。故填A Japanese company. 117．根据“In an introduction to the nap box, the company says that it will allow the user to be refreshed (恢复精神的) in just 20 minutes.”可知它可以让用户在20分钟内恢复精神。故填In 20 minutes. 118．根据“And they can quickly return to work without feeling dizzy (眩晕的). ”可知，午睡盒可以让人们很快恢复工作而不会感到头晕。故填They can help people quickly return to work without feeling dizzy. 119．根据“Inside the box are four points to support the body—head, buttocks (臀部), legs and feet.”可知，因为盒子里面有四个点来支撑身体。故填Because inside the box are four points to support the body. Passage 25（24-25九年级上·北京朝阳·期末） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Four Great New Inventions China’s “Four Great New Inventions” in modern times have made the daily life of the public more and more convenient. They are the high-speed railway (HSR), shopping online, shared bikes and mobile phone payment. Living in Singapore, I had only read about these technologies through newspapers, TV, and the Internet. But last October, I traveled to China and had the chance to experience all of them for the first time. As it was Golden Week, I quickly learned that getting a train ticket at the station was nearly impossible because of high demand (高需求). Luckily, I was able to buy a ticket to Beijing online and pay for it through Alipay, which was much more convenient than I expected. It was even cheaper than it was bought in the station. Then we got on the high-speed train. I was shocked at its speed and quietness. There was no noise which the train made while running. It was reported that China has the longest high-speed railway in the world, which is known as a “name card” for China. China’s HSR has also gone abroad. In 2014, China finished building its first foreign high-speed rail in Turkey. In June 2015, China and Russia agreed to build the 770 km of high-speed railway connecting Moscow and Kazan. In October 2015, China helped Indonesia to build a high-speed rail between Jakarta and Bandung. Did I feel bored during the trip on the train? Not at all. I bought many cheap and good things in Taobao and Tmall on the Internet through my mobile phone. It’s amazing that there are oceans of products in Taobao and Tmall. Soon we arrived in Beijing. We got on a bus near the train station. After getting off the bus, my friend told me that the bus stop is a little bit far from his home. I thought we would have to spend much money going to his home on a taxi, but it seemed that he wasn’t worried about that. He showed me some bikes on the side of the street. They are called shared bikes. We used the mobile phones to scan the Quick Response code (扫描二维码) on shared bikes, and then we rode the bikes home. It was so cool! 120．What are China’s “Four Great New Inventions”? 121．When did China finish building its first foreign high-speed rail? 122．How did the writer and his friend use the shared bikes? 123．Of China’s “Four Great New Invention”, which one do you think makes your life better? Why? (Please give two reasons.) 【答案】120．The high-speed railway (HSR), shopping online, shared bikes, and mobile phone payment. 121．In 2014./China finished building its first foreign high-speed rail in 2014. 122． They used the mobile phones to scan the Quick Response code on the shared bikes./By using the mobile phones to scan the Quick Response code on the shared bikes./By scanning the Quick Response code on the shared bikes. 123．I think shopping online makes my life better. It saves me a lot of time because I don’t need to go to stores. It also helps me find many cheap and useful products quickly. 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者在中国利用四大新发明给自己带来便利的事情。 120．根据“China’s ‘Four Great New Inventions’…They are the high-speed railway (HSR), shopping online, shared bikes and mobile phone payment.”可知，中国的“新四大发明”是高铁、网上购物、共享单车和手机支付。故填The high-speed railway (HSR), shopping online, shared bikes, and mobile phone payment. 121．根据“In 2014, China finished building its first foreign high-speed rail in Turkey.”可知，2014年，中国建成了第一条国外高铁。故填In 2014./China finished building its first foreign high-speed rail in 2014. 122．根据“They are called shared bikes.
