My job is to create content for my followers on social media. Although I feel excited when my posts get lots of likes and comments, the never-ending need to keep up with new ideas and post regularly can be very stressful. I often feel tired because I have to work long hours on filming and editing videos. Even though I love connecting with my followers and sharing my ideas, sometimes I feel under pressure to be perfect. I’m a student. I’ve just come to a new school for a few weeks. I feel down these days. I’m very shy, so social situations are stressful for me. My mother keeps telling me to make new friends with my classmates. I know it must be interesting. But it is always so hard for me to chat with new classmates. I start to worry about my life here. I miss my old friends so much. I’m a doctor. My job is to take care of people’s health. I feel satisfied when I see my patients recover. But my life is stressful all the time. I have to get up very early in the morning and often go back home late, feeling tired. I only have time to play with my children on weekends. Because of the stress, I cannot sleep well at night. It was my dream to become a volunteer teacher. So three years ago, I left my hometown and taught English in a village in Hunan Province. It is exciting to work with kids. But it is not surprising that being a teacher in the village can be challenging. The power and water supplies are unreliable. Besides, it is inconvenient to go outside because the public transportation is not well-connected. I haven’t seen my parents for more than one year. I miss them a lot. 1．What are the posts (帖子) about? A．Occupations. B．Stress. C．Giving advice. D．Volunteering. 2．Who has problems with relationships with others? A．Peter. B．Li Lan. C．Maria.

Jack, a 14-year-old British boy, has become interested in Peking Opera and the Traditional Chinese Culture Club in his school. He has bought a ticket for A River All Red. Here is the ticket and the leaflet he got before the show. A River All Red About the plot A River All Red is a story about a famous General Yue Fei (1103-1142) during the Southern Song Dynasty. When outside enemies attacked, Yue Fei led his army to fight for the country. During battles, Yue Fei always put himself in danger to protect his army. After many successful fights, he refused any prize or reward. He always said, “A general serves his country, not himself.” However, Official Qin Hui secretly planned with the enemy to destroy Yue Fei. He tried to make the emperor believe that Yue Fei was too powerful and dangerous. Though Yue Fei did nothing wrong, the emperor killed him in the end. Luckily, other generals still followed Yue Fei’s will and continued Yue Fei’s fight. At last they saved the country. About the actors Some of China’s leading Peking Opera actors and actresses play the main roles of this opera. For example, Yu Kuizhi plays Yue Fei. About the Peking Opera faces Actors in this show wear different colors and patterns on their faces to show the roles’ characters. Red faces mean being brave and faithful. The black face shows someone who is rude and brave, or someone who is fair and selfless. They are always fighting for fairness and bravely punish the powerful who are against the laws (法律). A white face tells us a character is dishonest and good at using tricks to get what he wants. Blue or green faces are for brave soldiers, outlaws or fighters. A silver face shows a character is a god or spirit. Experience history come to life! See A River All Red and be part of the story! 1．For what purpose does Jack most probably need to read the leaflet? A．To check when and where to see the opera. B．To join the Traditional Chinese Culture Club. C．To prepare himself to enjoy the show. D．To learn how to spread traditional culture. 2．In the opera, what colors may Yue Fei’s and Qin Hui’s faces be? A．Yue Fei-red, Qin Hui-white. B．Yue Fei-black, Qin Hui-white. C．Yue Fei-blue, Qin Hui-black. D．Yue Fei-red, Qin Hui-silver. 3．After the show, what may Jack share with other club members if he can join the Traditional Chinese Culture Club? A．Meanings of facial paints of Peking Opera. B．Important information to hold an opera show. C．How the emperor supported Yue Fei’s fights. D．How actors learned to perform Peking Opera. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 【导语】本文介绍了京剧《满江红》，讲述了岳飞忠诚报国、英勇抗敌却遭陷害的故事，展现了其忠诚和勇敢。文章还解释了京剧脸谱色彩的意义及主要演员信息，目的是向外国观众推广中国传统文化，让大家体验历史的生动再现。 1．细节理解题。根据“More information is provided on the leaflet to help you better understand the show!”和“About the plot... About the actor... About the Peking Opera faces”可知，传单里有关于演出剧情、演员、京剧脸谱等内容，阅读传单是为了让自己为欣赏这场演出做准备，更好地理解和融入演出。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Red faces mean being brave and faithful.”以及“A white face tells us a character is dishonest and good at using tricks to get what he wants.”可知，文中提到岳飞是勇敢忠诚的将领，秦桧是密谋陷害岳飞、不诚实的奸臣，所以岳飞的脸可能是红色，秦桧的脸可能是白色。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据传单中“About the Peking Opera faces”可知，这里介绍了京剧脸谱不同颜色代表的含义，如红脸、白脸、黑脸等分别代表的角色性格，Jack观看演出前读了传单，所以如果他加入中国传统文化俱乐部，可能会和成员分享京剧脸谱颜色的含义。故选A。 Passage 9 （24-25七年级下·河南新乡·期末）Dear all, We will have a “helping hands” meeting at the community centre from March 6th to March 10th.

However, when we want to be alone, we must be careful that we do not always jump into our own world. Social life is also important to all of us. As we live in social groups, there are many benefits of friendship that we can enjoy. Generally speaking, close friendships have three “fruits”: they may comfort the heart, advise the head and help us achieve the goals we set for ourselves. Through friendship, we can become happier, wiser and more satisfied humans. The first fruit of friendship is the peace that comes from sharing with friends our joy, sadness, success and failure. Here, friendship has a double advantage—happiness takes on a greater meaning and a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved! Naturally, this kind of openness results from a close friendship. We know that our friends will both respect our feelings and treasure these moments of closeness. The second fruit of friendship is the better understanding and judgement (评判) that may be achieved through conversations with well-meaning and wise friends. We often find it easier to recognize other people’s weaknesses than our own. As a result, if we are guided only by our own feelings, our judgement might be one-sided. On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions that we all have to make. This helps make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough (彻底的) understanding of our problems. The third fruit of friendship is the help that a friend may offer in many different ways. Sometimes a friend is even known as our “second self”. There are so many things in life that can only be achieved with the help of friends. Friends may have many different ideas and skills. Finally, it should be pointed out that enjoying the company of a crowd is not the same as being with friends. Friends should be carefully chosen and relationships carefully developed. In this way, we can better walk the “path of life” with the comfort, advice and help from our trusted friends. 1．According to the passage, close friendships have a lot of “fruits” EXCEPT ________. A．making our hearts peaceful B．achieving our goals with friends’ help C．guiding our own feelings easily D．understanding our problems better 2．We can achieve better understanding by talking with wise friends because ________. A．it is more difficult to realize other people’s weaknesses than our own B．our judgement won’t be one-sided if we are guided only by our feelings C．our friends are able to offer better advice on our important decisions D．it gives us a chance to completely understand our friends’ problems 3．Which shows the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Ways of Judging Friends B．Understanding of Friendship C．Advice on Making Friends D．Improvements of Social Life 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了亲密朋友给我们带来的三种“果实”。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Generally speaking, close friendships have three ‘fruits’: they may comfort the heart, advise the head and help us achieve the goals we set for ourselves.”以及后文对三种“果实”的具体描述可知，亲密友谊的“果实”包括使内心平静、在朋友的帮助下实现目标以及更好地理解我们的问题，并不包括“轻易引导我们自己的情感”。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions that we all have to make.”可知，我们可以通过与明智的朋友交谈来增进理解，因为我们的朋友能够为我们的重要决策提供更好的建议。故选C。 3．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段提到“人生之路”，指出社交生活对我们也很重要；第二段指出由于我们生活在社会群体中，我们可以享受到友谊的许多好处，一般来说，亲密的友谊有三个“果实”；第三段、第四段和第五段具体说明了友谊的“三个果实”是什么；第六段重申友情的重要性，总结全文，所以D项符合篇章结构。故选D。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要探讨了友谊的益处，详细阐述了亲密友谊所带来的三种“果实”，并强调了谨慎选择朋友和培养关系的重要性，因此本文是对友谊的一种理解。所以B项最适合做文章标题。故选B。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·重庆合川·月考）①Can you imagine a doctor performing a surgery (手术) on a patient thousands of kilometers away? A recent surgery was done by doctors in Chengdu. Using a robotic technology, the doctors saved a patient in Lhasa (拉萨). With the development of AI-powered remote surgery (人工智能辅助远程手术), modern healthcare has changed in a big way. ②AI played an important part in this surgery. By studying lots of medical data (数据), AI helps doctors plan the surgery, predict problems that could happen, and find the ways to solve them. ③During the surgery, AI also tells the doctors the patient’s necessary information, like heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen levels. If anything of the patient goes wrong, it can warn doctors and suggest to change the plan. ④Another key role in this surgery was supercomputer technology. Remote surgeries need fast data transmission (传送), as even small delays (延迟) can be dangerous. Supercomputing can quickly deal with a lot of data, making sure that the surgery pictures are clear and the doctors’ orders are followed at once. ⑤The robot does an excellent job in this surgery. It has one arm and one hole, which makes the cut smaller, making less pain and speeding up the process for the patient to get better. It also increases the chances of a successful surgery and lowers the risk of accidents. ⑥This kind of surgery is a huge excitement, especially for people in remote areas. It means that patients don’t have to travel far for good medical care, saving time and being treated in time. ⑦And for places with fewer doctors, this kind of surgery also brings good news as doctors from bigger cities can help with surgeries and train local doctors. This kind of surgery is important for improving healthcare everywhere. 1．How does the writer lead into AI-powered remote surgery? A．By giving reasons. B．By telling a story. C．By listing numbers. D．By giving an example. 2．Which of the following questions is answered in Paragraph 4? A．Why does the surgery need the help of a supercomputer? B．Where was the surgery performed? C．How’s the normal computer different from the supercomputer? D．When is the best time for the supercomputer to deal with the data? 3．What is the passage about? A．Art. B．Culture. C．Travel. D．Technology. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? (①=Para.1 ②=Para.2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤=Para.5 ⑥=Para.6 ⑦=Para.7) A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了人工智能辅助远程手术这一科技的发展及其带来的影响。 1．推理判断题。根据“Can you imagine a doctor performing a surgery (手术) on a patient thousands of kilometers away? A recent surgery was done by doctors in Chengdu. Using a robotic technology, the doctors saved a patient in Lhasa (拉萨). With the development of AI-powered remote surgery (人工智能辅助远程手术), modern healthcare has changed in a big way.”可知，作者通过举一个成都的医生利用机器人技术救治拉萨的病人的例子来引出人工智能辅助远程手术。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Another key role in this surgery was supercomputer technology.

What is the Chinese history and culture hidden behind these words? Up or down We use shang cesuo (上厕所) to mean “go to the bathroom” and xia chufang (下厨房) to mean “go to the kitchen”. Why? In ancient times, houses were laid out (安排) in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part. On maps, north is usually at the top while south is at the bottom. In Chinese, we talk about “the north” as shang (上) and “the south” as xia (下). So people would say they were going “up” to the bathroom and “down” to the kitchen. Ancient Chinese not only used shang and xia to refer to directions, but also social status (地位). Shang was seen to be noble (尊贵的), while xia means humility (谦卑). For example, people used huangshang (皇上) to refer to the emperor and dianxia (殿下) to refer to princes who had a lower status than the emperor. Left or right In Chinese, we say yijian xiangzuo (意见相左) when we have different opinions. Why is it not yijian xiangyou (意见相右)? Most people today are right-handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in ancient Chinese, “left” meant different ideas from others, such as in yijian xiangzuo. If people don’t follow common ideas, accepted by the public , we say they are pangmen zuodao (旁门左道). “Left” and “right” also have something to do with people’s social status. For a long time in ancient China, “right” stood for higher status than“left”. For example, the character “佑”, came from “右”, means a person in a higher position would protect someone in a lower position. On the contrary (相反), “佐” means low-status people would serve high-status people. 1．Where was the bathroom in ancient times in China? A．In the northwestern part of the house. B．In the northeastern part of the house. C．In the southeastern part of the house. D．In the southwestern part of the house. 2．Which Chinese phrase shows the cultural meaning of Chinese words mentioned in the passage? A．左顾右盼 B．上蹿下跳 C．左邻右舍 D．敬如上宾 3．People use “left” to show ________. a. difference    b. similarity    c. high status  d. low status A．ac B．ad C．bc D．bd 4．Which of the following statements is right? A．“shang” and “xia” in ancient Chinese only refer to directions. B．If people have different opinions, we can say they are pangmen zuodao. C．“Going down to the kitchen” means the kitchen is usually built in the lower place in ancient China. D．Both “zuo” and “you” refer to help. 5．What’s the main idea of this paragraph? A．It tells us how to use some Chinese sayings. B．It tells us different social statuses. C．It tells us some famous people in the history of China. D．It tells us the Chinese history and culture are hidden behind these words about directions or positions. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了汉语中“上、下、左、右”等方位词背后蕴含的中国历史与文化，包括古代建筑布局、社会地位象征及语言表达习惯等。 1．细节理解题。根据文章“In ancient times... with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house”可知，古代中国的浴室在房屋东北部。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文章“‘shang’ was seen to be noble... people used huangshang (皇上) to refer to the emperor”可知“上”代表尊贵，人们用“皇上”指代皇帝，“敬如上宾”中“上”体现了尊贵的文化含义。而其他选项未体现方位词的文化内涵。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据文章“‘left’ meant different ideas from others”及“‘left’ stood for lower status”可知，“左”对应“差异（a）”和“低地位（d）”。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据文章“For example, the character ‘佑’, came from ‘右’, means a person in a higher position would protect someone in a lower position. On the contrary (相反), ‘佐’ means low-status people would serve high-status people.”可知，“右”的地位高于“左”。“右”意指地位较高者会庇护地位较低者。相反，“左”则表示地位较低者会服务于地位较高者。D选项“‘左’和‘右’都有‘辅助、帮助’的含义。”与原文相符。故选D。 5．主旨大意题。根据文章开头“What is the Chinese history and culture hidden behind these words?”及全文内容，可知文章核心是介绍方位词背后的中国历史与文化。故选D。 Passage 4 （24-25九年级上·山东德州·期末）Fujian Tulou is a special type of building that can be found in China, shaped like large rings (环形). These structures are made from earth and stand very strong against enemies. Inside a tulou, many families live together, which makes it like a big, round village!

In Petaluma, California, US, to-go drinks are now served in a type of purple cup. Each cup has a QR code (二维码). More than 60 special bins have been set up around the city to collect these reusable (可重复使用的) cups. Workers will come later to clean them and send them back to shops for reuse, reported CBS News. The city-wide project is the first of its kind in the US. It aims to stop the use of disposable (一次性的) cups, which have been around since the early 1900s. Before the invention of disposable cups, people shared wooden or metal (金属的) cups for drinking. Lawrence Luellen, a lawyer in Boston, US, was worried about the spread of germs (细菌). So he invented a disposable “Health Cup” made of paper in 1907. It quickly caught on, especially after the serious Spanish flu in 1918. Disposable cups are common. Today’s disposable cups also have polystyrene (聚苯乙烯) in them. This type of plastic helps keep the drinks warm. However, it takes about 500 years to completely break down. Every year, people in the US throw away 50 billion single-use cups, according to The Guardian, This is bad for our planet. For example, polystyrene turns into small pieces with time. Animals may eat them and get hurt. Since its start on Aug. 1, the purple cup project in Petaluma has received wide attention, more than 30 businesses have joined in, including Starbucks and Coca-Cola. They are tracking (追踪) the QR codes on the cups to see how many of them are being reused. The project will end in November. What comes next depends on how it goes, reported The Guardian. 1．How does the writer start this text? A．By telling a story. B．By giving an example. C．By asking a question. D．By showing a saying. 2．What is the project in Petaluma mainly about? A．Adding QR codes to disposable cups. B．Serving to-go drinks in reusable cups. C．Setting up special bins for paper cups. D．Producing all paper cups in purple. 3．Why did Lawrence Luellen invent the disposable “Health Cup”? A．To remind people to drink healthy drinks. B．To make people’s lives more convenient. C．To prevent the spread of germs. D．To save more wood and metal. 4．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Disposable cups cause environmental problems. B．Disposable cups are made from different things. C．Disposable cups won’t harm our health at all. D．Disposable cups have many advantages. 5．What can we infer about the project from the passage? A．The project was a huge success. B．The results of it need to be checked. C．People don’t fully support it. D．More cities will join it in the future. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了美国加州佩塔卢马市的一个环保项目，重点在于减少一次性杯子的使用。 1．细节理解题。根据“The last time you went to buy a coffee or a Coke, what kind of cup did it come in?”可知，作者通过提问开始这篇文章。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“In Petaluma, California, US, to-go drinks are now served in a type of purple cup...collect these reusable (可重复使用的) cups...clean them and send them back to shops for reuse”可知，佩塔卢马市的项目主要是关于用可重复使用的杯子盛装外卖饮品。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Lawrence Luellen, a lawyer in Boston, US, was worried about the spread of germs (细菌).

Now you want to exercise again, but you’re wondering: Can I still exercise when I’m so sore? Well, there is no exact answer; it depends. Experts explain that soreness isn’t always bad. It’s normal to feel sore when you train hard or challenge your muscles in new ways. It is known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS, 延迟性肌肉酸痛). It usually reaches the peak (顶峰) within 48 hours and goes away in 72 hours. It happens because hard or new exercises break down muscle tissue (组织). Then your body tries to repair it, which causes soreness. Don’t worry- this breakdown helps your muscles grow stronger during the repair process. What you should pay attention to is just how sore you feel. Rick Richey, a sports medicine teacher, says, “If your soreness is not serious, it’s okay to exercise. You just need to go easier, like lifting lighter weights or running slower.” However, if your soreness is more than a mild ache, take a break. “Your body is smart—it tells you to stop, “Richey says. What’s more, exercising with super-sore muscles isn’t helpful. Sore muscles are not able to produce as much force and usually get tired more quickly. Richey says serious soreness can prevent you from getting better, and it might even make you hurt yourself. If you really want to exercise, work on the muscles that don’t ache. For example, if your arms ache, exercise your legs. “If you’re sore in one muscle, look for other parts of your body you can exercise,” Richey says. 1．Which graph can show the change about DOMS in 72 hours? A． B． C． D． 2．What do we know about DOMS? A．It is a kind of terrible illness. B．It makes your muscles weak forever. C．It usually appears later after exercise. D．It happens only when you lift heavy things. 3．Why is it not helpful to exercise with super-sore muscles? A．Because they may never recover. B．Because they will get tired faster. C．Because they can produce more force. D．Because they will influence your sleep. 4．If your legs ache, what should you do according to Richey? A．Stop all exercise. B．Take medicine right away. C．Exercise your arms. D．Keep exercising your legs slowly. 5．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To explain what causes DOMS. B．To discuss whether to exercise with sore muscles. C．To tell readers how to repair sore muscles quickly. D．To introduce different ways to challenge your muscles. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要讨论了是否在肌肉酸痛的情况下锻炼的话题。 1．细节理解题。根据“It usually reaches the peak (顶峰) within 48 hours and goes away in 72 hours.”可知，DOMS通常在48小时内达到顶峰，72小时后消失。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“It’s normal to feel sore when you train hard or challenge your muscles in new ways. It is known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS, 延迟性肌肉酸痛).”可知，DOMS通常在运动后出现。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“What’s more, exercising with super-sore muscles isn’t helpful. Sore muscles are not able to produce as much force and usually get tired more quickly.”可知，酸痛的肌肉不能产生那么大的力量，通常会更快地疲劳。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“If you really want to exercise, work on the muscles that don’t ache. For example, if your arms ache, exercise your legs.”可知，如果你的腿疼，你可以锻炼你的手臂。故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据“You did some exercise the day before, and the next morning, even a small movement like sitting up in bed would cause muscle soreness.

Hundreds of years ago, they moved from their homeland in central China to Southeast China. In Chinese, Hakka means “guest families” as if these people were guests on the land. Clearly, Hakka earth buildings are different from any other traditional architectural (建筑的) form. The buildings are not only huge in size, but also quite strong. To build them, the Hakka people mix earth, sand, bamboo, and other things together, and then tamp the mixture into nearly 2-meter-thick walls that stand in a close circle. The heavy walls can not only keep the earth buildings warm in winter and cool in summer, but also protect people against danger. If danger comes, the only door will be closed. People can stay safely in the building for a long time as there’s enough space for food and water in it. Some of the oldest earth buildings date back to the 12th century, and the latest examples were built in the last century. Sometimes people call them roundhouses. But actually, not all earth buildings are round. Square ones can be found as well. Most of these buildings have three or four floors, and each one can hold hundreds of people — all sharing the same last name. The first floor is used for kitchens and dining rooms; the second floor is for keeping grain; and the third and fourth floors are used for bedrooms. We Chinese always say, “A nearby neighbor is better than a distant relative.” The earth-building-living Hakka people have the best of both worlds, as neighbors are also relatives. However, these buildings are facing a problem: fewer and fewer people would like to live in them. 1．Which may be the picture of the Hakka earth building? A． B． C． 2．What does the writer mention about the Hakka earth building in Paragraph 2? ①Its advantages (优点).    ②Its history.    ③The building process. ④The building materials.        ⑤The possible dangers. A．①②④ B．②③⑤ C．①③④ 3．Which is the structure of the Hakka earth building? A． B． C． 4．What can we infer from this passage? A．All the buildings are in the same shape. B．People who live in a Hakka earth building are family. C．The Hakka people like to live in earth buildings better than in tall buildings. 5．What will the writer talk about next, most probably? A．How do the Hakka people get along with each other? B．Why are the Hakka people leaving the earth buildings? C．Who don’t the Hakka people want to share the buildings with? 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了客家土楼的历史、建筑特点，以及当前面临的居住人数减少问题。 1．推理判断题。根据“not all earth buildings are round. Square ones can be found as well”可知，土楼有圆形也有方形，通常是围合式结构，选项A的围合式建筑符合客家土楼特征，故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“ mix earth, sand, bamboo, and other things”、“tamp the mixture into nearly 2-meter-thick walls... for a long time”和“keep... warm in winter and cool in summer, protect people against danger”可知，第二段提到了建筑材料、建造过程和优点。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“the first floor is for kitchens and dining rooms; the second floor is for keeping grain; the third and fourth floors for bedrooms”可知，土楼结构是“一楼厨房/餐厅→二楼存放粮食→三楼及以上卧室”，对应选项A，故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“each one can hold hundreds of people—all sharing the same last name”可知，同住土楼的人是同姓家族。故选B。 5．推理判断题。根据“these buildings are facing a problem: fewer and fewer people would like to live in them”可知，接下来最可能讲客家人为何离开土楼，故选B。 Passage 9 （25-26九年级上·重庆·月考）Today, food delivery has become an important part of modern daily life. It fits easily into people’s daily lives with just a few taps on smartphones. But people hardly know this convenient service has a history of hundreds of years. Experts say that basic dining services like today’s food delivery first appeared as early as the Han Dynasty. However, the clear term “food delivery” was first written down in the Song Dynasty. At first, this service was only for nobles, officials and rich people, and it showed their high social position. But as society became richer, this service slowly became a part of people’s daily lives and was widely used by common people. The Song Dynasty witnessed the golden age of China’s takeout industry (行业). This lively scene is well described in the famous book A Dream of Splendour (《东京梦华录》). Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty (now Kaifeng in Henan Province), had a busy food delivery market. Small restaurants on the streets and special restaurants sold many kinds of prepared dishes-from delicious fried dishes to nice pastries. They provided more convenience for those who didn’t feel like cooking at home. Without modern tools to communicate, ordering food was much harder than today. Customers either went to restaurants themselves or asked others to go and place orders. They also told the restaurants the exact time and place to send the food. The people who delivered the food were called “Xianhan”. They walked through the busy streets to make sure the food arrived on time. People wanted the food they delivered to stay warm and tasty. The smart people in the Song Dynasty invented “wenpan” to solve this problem. A wenpan was two plates put together, with an empty space between them. People poured hot water into this space, which kept the food on top warm. This was a simple but clever idea, and it showed how practical the Song people were. 1．What do we know about food delivery in ancient China? A．It only served important people. B．The term was first recorded in the Han Dynasty. C．It became popular in the Song Dynasty. D．Xianhan sent orders to the restaurant. 2．Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “witness” in the dictionary? witness /ˈwɪtnəs/ noun, verb A．N-COUNT  A witness to an event such as an accident or a crime is a person who saw it. B．N-COUNT  A witness is someone who appears in a court of law to say something about a crime. C．V-T  If you witness an accident or a crime, you see it happen. D．V-T  If you witnessed a particular event or change, you mean it happened during that period of time. 3．Which picture correctly shows “wenpan” from the Song Dynasty? A．B． C． D． 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Unboxing the Takeout History B．The Food Delivery C．The History of Wenpan D．The Wisdom of Ancient People 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文主要以现代外卖普及为切入点，追溯外卖服务的起源、术语确立、服务对象演变，并详细介绍宋代外卖的行业盛况、订餐方式及保温工具，展现古代中国的生活智慧与商品经济发展成果。 1．细节理解题。根据“The Song Dynasty witnessed the golden age of China’s takeout industry.”可知，宋代见证了中国外卖行业的黄金时代，即它在宋朝变得很受欢迎。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“The Song Dynasty witnessed the golden age of China’s takeout industry.”可知，宋代见证了中国外卖行业的黄金时代，witnessed在此处为动词词性，D项“如果你见证某个事件或变化，意味着它发生在某个时间段内”与该句意思契合。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“A wenpan was two plates put together, with an empty space between them. People poured hot water into this space, which kept the food on top warm.”可知，两个盘子叠放，中间有空隙，向空隙中倒入热水，以保持上层食物温度，对应图片A。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。根据文章可知，本文主要以现代外卖普及为切入点，追溯外卖服务的起源、术语确立、服务对象演变，并详细介绍宋代外卖的行业盛况、订餐方式及保温工具，最佳标题应为Unboxing the Takeout History。故选A。 Passage 10 （24-25九年级上·河南三门峡·期中）Sanmenxia is surrounded by the Yellow River on three sides.

In 2025, people around the world are discussing just that—how to make sustainable lifestyles available to everyone. The idea is simple: we need to live in a way that protects our planet for the future. This means making choices that are better for the environment, like reducing plastic waste, saving energy, and choosing greener products. However, for many people, sustainable options can be too expensive or hard to find. The goal for 2025 is to remove these barriers and make the healthy, eco-friendly choice also the easy and affordable one for all consumers. This global conversation touches many parts of our lives. It’s about the food we eat and the health of our soil. It’s also about how cities can become greener and how we can protect workers from the increasing heat caused by climate change. These are not just environmental issues; they affect our economy, health, and social progress. Young people play a key role. By being thoughtful consumers—choosing products with less packaging, saving water and electricity, and learning about these issues—you are already contributing. The shift to a sustainable future starts with small, smart decisions in our everyday lives. 1．According to the passage, what is the main goal for sustainable living in 2025? A．To invent more new green products. B．To make sustainable choices easy and affordable for everyone. C．To ask all people to stop using plastic completely.

By being thoughtful consumers—choosing products with less packaging, saving water and electricity, and learning about these issues—you are already contributing.”可知，年轻人在可持续未来中扮演着关键角色，他们的日常选择也很重要。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。文章主要讨论了全球可持续运动中个人的选择，包括如何让可持续生活方式变得对每个人都容易且负担得起，以及年轻人在这一运动中的重要作用。因此，D选项“全球可持续运动中的个人选择”最能概括文章主旨。故选D。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·湖北黄冈·月考）Free time is a good chance for teenagers to have fun. What about free time with parents around? Some teenagers want free playtime without their parents’ supervision (监管) while parents and experts may think differently. Lin Tao, a middle school student, thinks teenagers should be free to play. “Last time I played with my parents around, I was nervous and just couldn’t enjoy myself to the fullest,” Lin says. “And my friend Chen Xiaoxin has similar experiences. Once, he went out to play with his classmates. Everyone felt uncomfortable under his mother’s supervision.” Wang Min, a mother of a 14-year-old boy, thinks playtime needs supervision. She explains, “People usually say I like to control my kid, but that’s not true. I am just worried that he will get into trouble. Some guys may have a bad influence on him and some games may mislead (误导) him. He might even get indulged in the games and can’t get back to real life.” Mr. Ma, a doctor of social studies, says it’s understandable for teenagers to wish for freedom. Free play helps them to be independent. Parents can give them more space. They don’t have to supervise them all the time. However, teenagers should find out the exact details (细节) about the activities before playtime. Then they can communicate with their parents and decide together whether they can go out to play alone. 1．According to the text, free time is a good chance for teenagers to ________. A．study hard B．have fun C．get into trouble D．mislead parents 2．How does Lin Tao support his own idea? A．By listing numbers. B．By raising questions. C．By comparing facts. D．By giving examples. 3．What do the underlined words “get indulged in” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Get lost in. B．Get interested in. C．Be tired of.

C．A boy’s parents should be around every time he plays with his friends. D．A boy should talk to his parents about the exact details before playtime. 5．Which is the right structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2, …) A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．D 5．A 【导语】 本文是一篇议论文，围绕青少年在空闲时间是否应该有父母监管这一话题展开讨论。文中分别列举了中学生林涛、14 岁男孩的母亲王敏以及社会研究博士马先生的不同观点，阐述了不同立场对于该问题的看法及理由。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Free time is a good chance for teenagers to have fun.”可知，空闲时间对青少年来说是一个娱乐的好机会。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Last time I played with my parents around, I was nervous and just couldn’t enjoy myself to the fullest,” Lin says. “And my friend Chen Xiaoxin has similar experiences. Once, he went out to play with his classmates. Everyone felt uncomfortable under his mother’s supervision.”可知，林涛通过讲述自己和朋友的经历来支持自己认为青少年应该自由玩耍的观点，即通过举例的方式。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Some guys may have a bad influence on him and some games may mislead (误导) him. He might even get indulged in the games and can’t get back to real life.”可知，一些不良的人可能对他有坏影响，一些游戏可能误导他，他甚至可能会沉迷于游戏而无法回到现实生活中。结合语境，“get indulged in”意思与“沉迷于”相近，“Get lost in.”有“迷失于，陷入（某种状态等）”的意思，与“沉迷于”意思相符。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“However, teenagers should find out the exact details (细节) about the activities before playtime. Then they can communicate with their parents and decide together whether they can go out to play alone.”可知，马先生认为青少年在玩耍前应该了解活动的确切细节，然后和父母沟通并一起决定是否可以独自出去玩。所以马先生可能支持一个男孩在玩耍前应该和他的父母谈谈确切的细节这一观点。故选D。 5．篇章结构题。文章第一段提出话题，即青少年空闲时间是否应该有父母监管；第二段和第三段分别从青少年和家长的角度阐述不同观点；第四段是社会研究博士马先生给出自己的看法和建议。所以文章结构是第一段提出话题，第二、三、四段分别阐述不同观点和建议，即①/②③④ 。故选A。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·河北·月考）Parents are important in shaping their children’s lives. They make decisions and plans for their children. However, in my opinion, teenagers over the age of 15 should be allowed to make their own decisions. Teenagers, over 15 have the ability to make independent decisions. With the rapid development of technology, today’s teenagers have a better understanding of the world. Compared with their parents, they’re knowledgeable at an early age. So they may make wiser decisions. Making decisions helps teenagers feel confident (自信的). When teenagers are allowed to make decisions, they feel more confident in their ability to handle problems. This can help them develop a stronger feeling of control over their lives. By making decisions, teenagers learn not to depend on others. If parents make decisions for their children all the time, they’ll never learn to be responsible (有责任心的) for themselves. They’ll just depend on their parents for every choice in their lives. When teenagers are allowed to make decisions, they may ▲ . But it doesn’t matter. That’s because they can learn from their mistakes and will do better next time. During the process, teenagers can develop problem-solving abilities. Allowing teenagers to make decisions can improve relationships between children and parents. By giving children respect (尊重), parents can show that they trust their children to make good choices. With trust and respect, children will have more communication with their parents. All in all, teenagers over 15 should be given the chance to make decisions. 1．Why does the writer think today’s teenagers may make wiser decisions? A．They study harder. B．Their teachers help them. C．Their parents give better advice. D．They are knowledgeable at an early age. 2．What does the underlined word “handle” mean? A．Deal with. B．Call in. C．Start with. D．Connect with. 3．Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A．make decisions B．learn from mistakes C．make mistakes D．develop skills 4．Which of the following may the writer agree with? A．Teenagers should depend on their parents. B．Parents should trust and respect their children. C．Family relationships are easy to be improved. D．Parents should make plans for their children. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．How Teenagers Solve Life Problems B．Why Parents Should Help Teenagers C．How Parents Shape Teenagers’ Lives D．Why Teenagers Should Make Decisions 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，作者从多个角度论述了为什么15岁以上的青少年应该被允许自己做决定。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Compared with their parents, they’re knowledgeable at an early age. So they may make wiser decisions.”可知，作者认为现在的青少年在早期就知识丰富，因此可能做出更明智的决定。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段“When teenagers are allowed to make decisions, they feel more confident in their ability to handle problems.”可知，允许青少年做决定时，他们会对自己……问题的能力更有信心。结合语境，handle意为“处理、应对”，与deal with同义。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段“But it doesn’t matter. That’s because they can learn from their mistakes...”可知，后面提到“从错误中学习”，因此前面应指“他们可能会犯错”。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据第六段“By giving children respect, parents can show that they trust their children to make good choices.”可知，作者认为父母应该信任和尊重孩子。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。全文围绕“青少年应被允许自己做决定”展开，从能力、自信、独立性、学习机会和亲子关系等方面论证，因此最佳标题为“为什么青少年应该做决定”。故选D。 Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·广东东莞·期中）I was coming up from a store in Manhattan when a woman waved and smiled at me. “I love your shoes.” she said loudly. “I noticed them in the store and just had to tell you.” I was a little surprised. People usually don’t talk about such small things in Australia. But in New York, it’s common for locals to tell you what they like about your clothes. However, after living in New York for a while, I started to enjoy this habit of giving praise. I started to praise strangers in cafes, bars, or even while waiting in line. ▲ Research shows that praise makes people happy, and it’s not just the receiver who feels good. According to Lisa Williams, a social psychologist (社会心理学家), the person giving praise also gets a sense of pleasure. She says that interactions with strangers can be very valuable. For example, a quick chat with a taxi driver can have more benefits than just offering praise. But it’s important to be careful with what you say. Talking about someone’s physical appearance, like their weight or age, might not be welcome. Giving praise to strangers can change your view of life. It can help you see the positive things around you and let go of cynicism (愤世嫉俗). So, try to look up from your phone and notice great things around you. You can start by looking at people’s shoes. It’s a small act, but it can make a big difference in your day. 1．Why was the writer surprised at first? A．Because a woman waved and smiled at her. B．Because people in New York like others’ clothes. C．Because a stranger in Manhattan praised her shoes. D．Because people usually don’t talk about shoes in Australia. 2．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 2? A．People prefer to be praised by strangers. B．Praise does not influence the giver’s mood. C．Social psychologists advise to praise family. D．Praise benefits both the giver and the receiver. 3．What does the underlined word “interactions” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Instruction. B．Information. C．Attention. D．Communication. 4．This chart shows how this passage is developed. Which is the missing part? A．The call of praise B．The skills to praise C．The introduction of praise D．The benefits of praise 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．The Art of Praise B．The Expected Praise C．A Change from Shoes D．Small Talk with Strangers 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文主要讲述作者在纽约经历陌生人称赞后，逐渐习惯并认可这种赞美文化，同时通过研究说明赞美对给予者和接收者都有益，还能改变生活态度。      1．细节理解题。根据文章第 1 段 “I was a little surprised. People usually don’t talk about such small things in Australia.” 可知，作者惊讶是因为在澳大利亚人们不会聊这类小事，而曼哈顿的陌生人称赞了她的鞋子。故选 C。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第 2 段 “it’s not just the receiver who feels good...the person giving praise also gets a sense of pleasure” 可知，该段讲赞美对接收者和给予者都有好处。故选 D。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章第 3 段 “For example, a quick chat with a taxi driver can have more benefits than just offering praise.” 可知，“interactions” 指和别人的交流，与 “Communication” 意思相近。故选 D。 4．篇章结构题。文章结构是“赞美案例→研究结果→赞美技巧（如避免谈论体重/年龄）→赞美重要性”，因此缺失部分是“赞美技巧（The skills to praise）”。故选 B。 5．最佳标题题。文章整体内容包括从被陌生人赞美鞋子的经历，到赞美对双方的益处，再到建议主动赞美。文章主题是 “赞美” 相关的内容。故选 A。 Passage 5 （25-26九年级上·浙江湖州·月考）Have you ever eaten a meal that only needs to be warmed up for a few minutes when you are home alone? That’s prefabricated food (预制菜), also called ready-to-eat food. It is prepared in factories, sealed (密封) in packages (包装), and sold in supermarkets or online. With the fast pace of life, more and more people choose it, but is it really a good choice? One big problem of prefabricated food is its high salt and fat content. In order to make it taste better and last longer, factories often add a lot of salt and oil. For example, a box of prefabricated pork may have more than half of the daily salt we need. If we eat such food for a long time, we will easily put on weight and have a higher possibility of getting illnesses like high blood pressure. Another issue is the safety problem. Prefabricated food usually has too many food additives (添加剂) and companies sometimes don’t follow health rules during production. Sometimes, the packages may not be sealed well, thus food may become unsafe to eat. What’s worse, the market rules on these products are still not strict enough, making it hard for customers to tell good products from bad ones. However, prefabricated food isn’t all bad. It’s convenient for busy people to cook. According to the data, the daily cooking time for prefabricated food users in 2025 has gone down a lot, from an average of 2.3 hours a day to just 48 minutes. More importantly, prefabricated food has a standardized (标准化的) production line, which decreases food waste by 30%. Faced with the two sides of prefabricated food, we must neither give up completely nor do nothing. Therefore, factories should reduce salt and fat content, while the government should take a stronger hand in managing the market. Only then can prefabricated food truly offer convenience without harming our health. 1．What’s the disadvantage of prefabricated food? A．No proper packaging or sealing. B．Low salt and fat content. C．Strict market rules. D．Too many food additives. 2．How does the writer show the opinion on prefabricated food in Para. 4? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving examples. C．By questioning scientists. D．By describing experiences. 3．How does the writer feel about prefabricated food? A．He is against it. B．He is a fan of it. C．He shows no interest. D．He stays in the middle. 4．What’s the best title for the text? A．Is Prefabricated Food Easy to Make? B．Why is Prefabricated Food so Popular? C．Is Prefabricated Food a Good Choice? D．What is the Future of Prefabricated Food like? 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文讨论了预制菜的优缺点，包括其高盐高脂肪含量、食品添加剂过多等安全问题，以及其方便快捷、减少食物浪费等优点，并指出面对预制菜的两面性，应采取合理措施以使其真正提供便利而不损害健康。 1．细节理解题。根据“Another issue is the safety problem. Prefabricated food usually has too many food additives (添加剂) and companies sometimes don’t follow health rules during production.”可知，预制菜的缺点之一是含有太多食品添加剂。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“According to the data, the daily cooking time for prefabricated food users in 2025 has gone down a lot, from an average of 2.3 hours a day to just 48 minutes.”可知，作者在第四段通过列举数据来表明对预制菜的观点。故选A。 3．观点态度题。根据“Faced with the two sides of prefabricated food, we must neither give up completely nor do nothing.”可知，作者认为面对预制菜的两面性，我们既不能完全放弃也不能什么都不做，说明作者对预制菜持中立态度。故选D。 4．最佳标题题。根据“With the fast pace of life, more and more people choose it, but is it really a good choice?”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了预制菜的优缺点，并探讨了它是否是一个好的选择。故选C。 Passage 6 （25-26九年级上·江西宜春·期中）Think about the last time you went to an art or history museum. Which pieces of artifacts (文物) stood out to you? Did you read the introduction next to them? Did it tell you where the artifacts were from and how the museums got them? Today, many museums around the world own art and artifacts that were stolen or looted (掠夺) from their original countries during war or colonial rule. You may see ancient Chinese paintings shown in the British Museum, or sculptures from Africa that date back to the 19th century on display in the Louvre Museum. Many countries have asked European museums to repatriate the artifacts. The debate over whether and how museums should give back artifacts to their original countries has been going on for many years. Those who suggest returning all foreign artifacts to their homes insist that it is morally (道义上) the right thing to do. Furthermore, the country owning the objects will receive an important part of their heritage back, and these artifacts will be given a chance to be truly valued in their homeland. Yet there are different voices. Those against the return point out that some foreign artifacts were not stolen but bought a long time ago. Also, it is sometimes hard to identify (确认) the true owners of certain artifacts—should they be returned to the country, a group or an individual? There is also a view that culture is a shared treasure and the artifacts are in fact “cultural ambassadors (大使)” that improve understanding. They believe that while taking them away from their countries of origin was wrong, history is full of “good” and “bad” actors. Moreover, they feel that keeping the cultural objects in the current museums has kept millions of artifacts safe from damage. On the matter of return, some governments have made the move. In 2018, French President Emmanuel Macron told officially that France would give back 26 looted treasures to the African state of Benin. “I cannot accept that a large part of cultural heritage from several African countries is in France,” said Macron. It’s said to be part of France’s long-promised plans to return artifacts taken from Africa during the colonial rule. Museums all across Europe began reconsidering their previous policies on colonial treasures. In France, twenty-seven artifacts had been identified for return, but only one has been returned. Then, on October 6, 2020, France’s National Assembly officially passed a bill (法案) promising the return of these heritage artifacts, but didn’t fix a certain date. It seems that there is still a long way to go for the return of foreign heritage treasures. 1．The underlined word “repatriate” in paragraph 2 probably means______. A．protect B．show C．return D．borrow 2．People who consider foreign artifacts as “cultural ambassadors” may agree that ______. A．mistakes in history need correcting in time B．heritage artifacts belong to all the human beings C．artifacts will be better protected in their homeland D．history museum tours will be popular in the future 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．French museums refused to identify all the colonial treasures. B．Policies and bills have no use in protecting foreign heritage treasures. C．The treasures stolen or looted can hardly be back to their homeland soon. D．Governments have the duty to keep foreign treasures in good protection. 4．By writing this passage, the writer wants to ______. A．explain how and why many foreign treasures were stolen or looted B．advise governments to take actions in returning foreign treasures C．encourage us to take part in the debate over stolen or looted treasures D．show different views and present situation on the return of treasures 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕许多博物馆中收藏的文物是否应归还给原籍国展开讨论，介绍了不同观点及当前文物归还的现状。 1．词句猜测题。根据第二段“Today, many museums around the world own art and artifacts that were stolen or looted (掠夺) from their original countries during war or colonial rule.”以及“Many countries have asked European museums to repatriate the artifacts.”可知，许多国家要求欧洲博物馆归还从原籍国偷走或掠夺的文物，所以“repatriate”意思是“归还”，与“return”意思相近。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“There is also a view that culture is a shared treasure and the artifacts are in fact ‘cultural ambassadors (大使)’ that improve understanding.”可知，认为外国文物是“文化大使”的人认为文化是共享的财富，文物属于全人类。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In France, twenty-seven artifacts had been identified for return, but only one has been returned. Then, on October 6, 2020, France’s National Assembly officially passed a bill (法案) promising the return of these heritage artifacts, but didn’t fix a certain date. It seems that there is still a long way to go for the return of foreign heritage treasures.”可知，法国虽然通过了归还文物的法案，但没有确定具体日期，说明被盗或掠夺的珍宝很难很快回到祖国。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据第三段“The debate over whether and how museums should give back artifacts to their original countries has been going on for many years.”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了关于文物归还的不同观点和当前文物归还的现状。故选D。 Passage 7 （25-26九年级上·北京海淀·期中）On weekends, some people rush to select photos from a marathon and write like “pushing my limits” right after crossing the finish line, eager to post them on social media. Others spend vacation evenings stressed about perfecting travel videos, carefully choosing background music, worried they might miss a chance to show off a “perfect holiday” to others. We live in such an “achievement society” where leisure (休闲) has lost its true purpose. Instead of being a break from tiredness, it has become a new stage for branding and selling ourselves. We fill our free time with self-promotion, turning relaxation into a competitive and tiring performance that finally leads to burnout, and then we easily get distracted (分心的) by the desire to gain others’ praise. To escape this trap, we can turn to the wisdom of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, who lived from 384 to 322 B．C． In his famous Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle starts by saying that we are all searching for happiness, but he argues we are often confused about how to achieve it. He points out that pleasure, wealth, honor, and power do not bring lasting happiness. True happiness comes from our choices of habits, which are not just about action, but also motives (动机) and character, he says. Good habits are the result of moving constantly in the right direction through practice. In Aristotle’s view, the true meaning of such self-development differs sharply from self-promotion. In an achievement society, we are often forced to respond to outside pressures to self-promote. We may instead look to pleasure, wealth, honor and power for happiness. This can sidetrack our self-development needed for true happiness. For Aristotle, leisure is very important for self-development. The true purpose of leisure is not tied to the need to achieve—it is time we can reflect on our real needs, develop friendships, think for ourselves, and step back and decide what kind of life we truly want to live. Without such leisure, happiness stays out of reach. In today’s achievement-focused society, we must rethink leisure: not as a tool for self-promotion, but as a space to grow. The choices we make during our free time can either bring us closer to happiness or lead us toward burnout. After all, true happiness comes from becoming the best of ourselves, not meeting others’ standards. Aristotle told us that we can control the most important things in a good life: what kind of person we will become. And leisure is the time when we can decide what habits to develop and what kind of person to be. Will we give in to the achievement-focused society? Or will we use our free time to develop ourselves as individuals? 1．Why does the writer mention two examples in Paragraph 1? A．To introduce the negative influence that social media has on people. B．To compare different kinds of activities in leisure time. C．To show what leisure in an achievement society is like. D．To explain why leisure is important for personal growth. 2．What does the word “sidetrack” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A．Distract. B．Direct. C．Decide. D．Discover. 3．Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A．Self-promotion in leisure blocks true happiness. B．True happiness comes from pleasure and honor. C．Shared standards are connected with true happiness. D．Leisure should be used for self-promotion. 4．According to the passage, what is a good example of spending free time for its true purpose? A．Following others to spend evenings watching popular TV shows. B．Posting photos on social media and collecting one hundred likes. C．Reading a favorite book in the park and relating it to real life. D．Buying expensive new-style sports shoes and showing them off. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文探讨现代社会将休闲异化为自我推销工具的现象，借用亚里士多德的观点指出：真正幸福源于自我发展，而非外在成就或他人认可。 1．推理判断题。根据“…eager to post them on social media.”以及“…carefully choosing background music, worried they might miss a chance to show off a ‘perfect holiday’ to others.”可知，第一段通过“跑马拉松后发帖”和“熬夜修旅行视频”两个例子，具体说明现代人如何将休闲时间用于自我推销，第二段“We live in such an “achievement society” where leisure (休闲) has lost its true purpose.”紧接着总结：“我们生活在‘成就社会’，休闲已失去真正目的，变成自我营销的舞台”，例子直接服务于说明“成就社会中的休闲现状”。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“In an achievement society, we are often forced to respond to outside pressures to self-promote. We may instead look to pleasure, wealth, honor and power for happiness.”以及“This can sidetrack our self-development needed for true happiness.”可知，我们被迫自我营销，转而追求快乐、财富、荣誉和权力，这可能“sidetrack”真正的自我发展，划线词后接“自我发展”，且导致“真正幸福难以实现”，因此词义需为“使偏离正轨”，因此划线词是与“Distract”同义。故选A。 3．推理判断题。通读全文可知，全文核心观点是“自我推销式休闲阻碍真正幸福”，第二段“We fill our free time with self-promotion, turning relaxation into a competitive and tiring performance that finally leads to burnout, and then we easily get distracted (分心的) by the desire to gain others’ praise.”明确说自我推销“最终导致倦怠”；第三段“the true meaning of such self-development differs sharply from self-promotion.”强调真正幸福需通过内在成长实现，末段“After all, true happiness comes from becoming the best ourselves, not meeting others’ standards.”更直接指出“真正的幸福源于成为最好的自己，而非满足他人标准”。因此作者可能认为“休闲中的自我营销是‘成就社会’的陷阱，阻碍真正幸福，真正幸福需通过内在成长实现”。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“The true purpose of leisure is not tied to the need to achieve—it is time we can reflect on our real needs, develop friendships, think for ourselves, and step back and decide what kind of life we truly want to live.”可知，休闲真正目的“反思真实需求、发展友谊、独立思考、决定理想生活”，C选项“阅读并联系生活”，符合“独立思考”和“自我成长”。故选C。 Passage 8 （24-25八年级上·北京·期中）No one wants to work at a messy desk and look lazy or sloppy (草率的). But does a messy desktop actually make you either of those things? Not all disorders mean you’re out of control. Even Steve Jobs thought his personal charm (个人魅力) came from his messy desktop. People who prefer a messy desk have their own ideas. Some think it makes them comfortable. A too-tidy room can sometimes make them uncomfortable. Some believe it helps them concentrate more easily. Messy tables can make it easier to focus on the tasks, just like some novelists can write patiently in a noisy cafe. Others may be perfectionists (完美主义者). For those who strive for perfection, tasks are either 100% or 0% performed. Therefore, they usually put away the less important things and perform the most important ones perfectly. Many people are labeled as (被标记为) “sloppy” and “inefficient” because of messy tabletops. However, when we see the desks of Albert Einstein, Mark Twain and Mark Zuckerberg, things might change. Obviously, the world welcomes uniformity (整齐划一) and order. It also never refuses regular disorder, which seems like a mess but runs in an organized way. In an experiment done by psychologist Kathleen Vohs, participants (参与者) were asked to come up with new uses for ping-pong balls. Both participants in the messy and clean offices created the same number of ideas. However, those in the messy room came up with more interesting and creative ideas. People who don’t keep a neat and tidy desktop can actually develop organizational skills and manage work and thoughts successfully. In spite of great disorder, a messy desktop presents information clearly, which can sometimes inspire us unconsciously (无意识地). Research has found people working with a messy desktop are more likely to be creative and willing to take risks, while people with a tidy one tend to follow the rules and are less likely to try new things. But a messy desk might not be ideal all the time. When you need new ideas, a messy desk might be a good choice; but when you want to be efficient (高效的) and perform a task successfully, it seems better to make a desk clean and tidy. No matter what kind of desk you prefer, we hope you feel comfortable and enjoy it! 1．The underlined phrase “strive for” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. A．fight for B．is interested in C．is afraid of D．keep away from 2．The writer talks about the experiment in the 4th paragraph to ________. A．encourage people to have messy desks as they like B．explain the reasons why people like the messy desks C．introduce a new way of being creative and interesting D．show the influence of messy desks on people’s minds 3．The writer probably agrees that people with messy desks might ________. A．be intelligent and successful B．have good behaviors and habits C．become creative men and risk takers D．finish the task quickly and perfectly 4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Messy Desk: Do We Need to Change It? B．Messy Desk: Do We Find Excuses for It? C．Messy Desk: Does It Make Us Comfortable? D．Messy Desk: Does it Help Us Work Efficiently? 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文围绕凌乱的桌面展开讨论，探讨了人们对凌乱桌面的看法、凌乱桌面可能带来的影响，以及不同情境下凌乱桌面和整洁桌面的选择。 1．词句猜测题。根据“tasks are either 100 % or 0 % performed”可知，这些人追求完美，会努力去达成目标。fight for“为……而奋斗、力求”；is interested in“对……感兴趣”；is afraid of“害怕……”；keep away from“远离……”。只有选项A符合语境。故选A。 2．细节理解题。第四段实验内容为“在凌乱和整洁办公室的参与者想出乒乓球新用法的数量相同，但凌乱房间的参与者想法更有趣、更有创造力”，选项D“展示凌乱桌子对人们思维的影响”，实验中“凌乱环境让人产生更有创造力的想法”，正好体现了对思维的影响，符合实验的作用。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“Research has found people working with a messy desktop are more likely to be creative and willing to take risks…”可知，作者认为有凌乱桌面的人更可能具有创造力和冒险精神,选项C“成为有创造力和愿意冒险的人”符合。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。文章先讨论了人们对凌乱桌面的不同看法，接着通过实验说明凌乱桌面对人们思维的影响，最后指出不同情境下对凌乱桌面和整洁桌面的选择，整体是在探讨凌乱桌面是否有必要改变。选项A“凌乱的桌子：我们需要改变它吗？”符合主旨。故选A。 Passage 9 （25-26九年级上·内蒙古兴安盟·月考）Technology (科技) has done our world wonders: from development in medicine, travel, communication, to our day-to-day lives. It has undoubtedly changed the way our society works, and how we communicate with one another and ourselves. However, by completely welcoming technology as a part of everyday life, are we losing our ability to create? Technology presents a new platform for creativity to exist (存在) on. Through technology, ideas can be set free and come to life in the physical world. We have the necessary tools for greater possibilities and new solutions. For example, businesses now have the opportunity to improve themselves more creatively through websites, film advertisements, social media or radio. However, when we look more closely, it’s easy to notice some disadvantages. For example, many of us depend so heavily on automated calculations (自动计算) nowadays, rather than taking the time to work it out for ourselves. Another obvious situation is that a lot of people are spending too much time on screens. As a result, they are reducing the opportunities to come up with their own creations. Is there a way to find a balance between technology and human creativity? I think so. It is simply a matter of making sure that creativity is not deterred by technology. The first way is to reduce our usage of digital devices (数字设备) by setting limits on when, where, and how long we use them, turning off the notifications (通知) on your phone, or putting your phone on “Do Not Disturb”. Once you become used to these, you will feel surprised how little you think about your phone. Another wonderful way is to take daily walks in nature. It can help you reset, rebalance, and keep going. In the long run, a daily walk can not only influence our creativity and imagination but further our physical and mental (精神的) health. We can also develop our creativity by doing yoga, keeping a journal, or reading. The key to the survival (生存) of our creativity starts with us. Will you put your phone away when spending time with friends? Will you try to find happiness and purpose outside of a screen? The actions you choose to take will help change the relationship between creativity and technology for the better. 1．Why does the writer talk about businesses in Paragraph 2? A．To stress the importance of creativity. B．To suggest good ways to develop technology. C．To show the effect that technology has on creativity. 2．The word “deterred” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”. A．examined B．controlled C．prevented 3．The writer probably agrees that ________. A．limiting the usage of our phones can help us develop creativity B．spending time on screens is the easiest way to keep people happy C．turning off the notifications on the phone will make people worried 4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Technology: How Does It Help Develop Creativity? B．Creativity in a World of Technology: Does It Exist? C．Technology and Creativity: Which Is More Important? 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是议论文。主要讲述了技术会不会阻碍我们的创造力，作者就此提出了自己的一些建议与看法。 1．推理判断题。根据“Through technology, ideas can be set free and come to life in the physical world.”可知，通过技术，思想可以得到解放，并在现实世界中变得生动，可见强调了技术对创造力的影响。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Is there a way to find a balance between technology and human creativity?”和“It is simply a matter of making sure that creativity is not deterred by technology.”可知，在技术和人类创造力之间找到平衡，确保创造力不被技术阻止，因此“deterred”意为“prevented”，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“The first way is to reduce our usage of digital devices (数字设备) by setting limits on when, where, and how long we use them, turning off the notifications (通知) on your phone, or putting your phone on ‘Do Not Disturb.’ ”可知，限制手机的使用可以帮助我们发展创造力，故选A。 4．最佳标题题。根据“However, by completely welcoming technology as a part of everyday life, are we losing our ability to create?”可知，本文主要讲述了技术会不会阻碍我们的创造力，选项“Creativity in a World of Technology: Does It Exist?”符合句意，故选B。 Passage 10 （25-26九年级上·广东江门·月考·名校卷）As Frans de Waal, a primatologist (灵长动物学家), recognizes, a better way to think about other creatures would be to ask ourselves how different species have developed different kinds of minds to solve different adaptive problems. Surely the important question is not whether animals can do the same things humans can, but how those animals solve the cognitive (认知的) problems they face, like how to imitate the sea floor. Children and some animals are so interesting not because they are smart like us, but because they are smart in ways we haven’t even considered. Sometimes studying children’s ways of knowing can cast light on adult-human cognition. Children’s pretend play may help us understand our adult taste for fiction. De Waal’s research provides another interesting example. We human beings tend to think that our social relationships are rooted in our perceptions, beliefs, and desires, and our understanding of the perceptions, beliefs, and desires of others—what psychologists call our “theory of mind.” In the 80s and 90s, developmental psychologists showed that preschoolers and even infants understand minds apart from their own. But it was hard to show that other animals did the same. “Theory of mind” became a candidate for the special, uniquely human trick. Yet de Waal’s studies show that chimps (黑猩猩) possess a remarkably developed political intelligence —they are much interested in figuring out social relationships. It turns out, as de Waal describes, that$ 专题06 阅读理解(期末专项训练) 九年级上学期沪教牛津版 目录（按住Ctrl键，再点击即可跳转到指定内容）： 应用文 说明文 议论文 记叙文 名著节选 应用文 Passage 1 身心健康 Passage 6 时文/广告 旅游 Passage 2 时文/广告 教育 Passage 7 时文/广告 旅社指南 Passage 3 时文/广告 竞技/比赛 Passage 8 中华文化 电影与戏剧 Passage 4 时文/广告 学习分享会 Passage 9 社区服务 Passage 5 健康饮食 （常考点） Passage 10 时文/广告 景点/建筑 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·上海浦东新·月考·名校卷） I’m an influencer. My job is to create content for my followers on social media. Although I feel excited when my posts get lots of likes and comments, the never-ending need to keep up with new ideas and post regularly can be very stressful. I often feel tired because I have to work long hours on filming and editing videos. Even though I love connecting with my followers and sharing my ideas, sometimes I feel under pressure to be perfect. I’m a student. I’ve just come to a new school for a few weeks. I feel down these days. I’m very shy, so social situations are stressful for me. My mother keeps telling me to make new friends with my classmates. I know it must be interesting. But it is always so hard for me to chat with new classmates. I start to worry about my life here. I miss my old friends so much. I’m a doctor. My job is to take care of people’s health. I feel satisfied when I see my patients recover. But my life is stressful all the time. I have to get up very early in the morning and often go back home late, feeling tired. I only have time to play with my children on weekends. Because of the stress, I cannot sleep well at night. It was my dream to become a volunteer teacher. So three years ago, I left my hometown and taught English in a village in Hunan Province. It is exciting to work with kids. But it is not surprising that being a teacher in the village can be challenging. The power and water supplies are unreliable. Besides, it is inconvenient to go outside because the public transportation is not well-connected. I haven’t seen my parents for more than one year. I miss them a lot. 1．What are the posts (帖子) about? A．Occupations. B．Stress. C．Giving advice. D．Volunteering. 2．Who has problems with relationships with others? A．Peter. B．Li Lan. C．Maria.

Jack, a 14-year-old British boy, has become interested in Peking Opera and the Traditional Chinese Culture Club in his school. He has bought a ticket for A River All Red. Here is the ticket and the leaflet he got before the show. A River All Red About the plot A River All Red is a story about a famous General Yue Fei (1103-1142) during the Southern Song Dynasty. When outside enemies attacked, Yue Fei led his army to fight for the country. During battles, Yue Fei always put himself in danger to protect his army. After many successful fights, he refused any prize or reward. He always said, “A general serves his country, not himself.” However, Official Qin Hui secretly planned with the enemy to destroy Yue Fei. He tried to make the emperor believe that Yue Fei was too powerful and dangerous. Though Yue Fei did nothing wrong, the emperor killed him in the end. Luckily, other generals still followed Yue Fei’s will and continued Yue Fei’s fight. At last they saved the country. About the actors Some of China’s leading Peking Opera actors and actresses play the main roles of this opera. For example, Yu Kuizhi plays Yue Fei. About the Peking Opera faces Actors in this show wear different colors and patterns on their faces to show the roles’ characters. Red faces mean being brave and faithful. The black face shows someone who is rude and brave, or someone who is fair and selfless. They are always fighting for fairness and bravely punish the powerful who are against the laws (法律). A white face tells us a character is dishonest and good at using tricks to get what he wants. Blue or green faces are for brave soldiers, outlaws or fighters. A silver face shows a character is a god or spirit. Experience history come to life! See A River All Red and be part of the story! 1．For what purpose does Jack most probably need to read the leaflet?

However, when we want to be alone, we must be careful that we do not always jump into our own world. Social life is also important to all of us. As we live in social groups, there are many benefits of friendship that we can enjoy. Generally speaking, close friendships have three “fruits”: they may comfort the heart, advise the head and help us achieve the goals we set for ourselves. Through friendship, we can become happier, wiser and more satisfied humans. The first fruit of friendship is the peace that comes from sharing with friends our joy, sadness, success and failure. Here, friendship has a double advantage—happiness takes on a greater meaning and a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved! Naturally, this kind of openness results from a close friendship. We know that our friends will both respect our feelings and treasure these moments of closeness. The second fruit of friendship is the better understanding and judgement (评判) that may be achieved through conversations with well-meaning and wise friends. We often find it easier to recognize other people’s weaknesses than our own. As a result, if we are guided only by our own feelings, our judgement might be one-sided. On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions that we all have to make. This helps make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough (彻底的) understanding of our problems. The third fruit of friendship is the help that a friend may offer in many different ways. Sometimes a friend is even known as our “second self”. There are so many things in life that can only be achieved with the help of friends. Friends may have many different ideas and skills. Finally, it should be pointed out that enjoying the company of a crowd is not the same as being with friends. Friends should be carefully chosen and relationships carefully developed. In this way, we can better walk the “path of life” with the comfort, advice and help from our trusted friends. 1．According to the passage, close friendships have a lot of “fruits” EXCEPT ________. A．making our hearts peaceful B．achieving our goals with friends’ help C．guiding our own feelings easily D．understanding our problems better 2．We can achieve better understanding by talking with wise friends because ________. A．it is more difficult to realize other people’s weaknesses than our own B．our judgement won’t be one-sided if we are guided only by our feelings C．our friends are able to offer better advice on our important decisions D．it gives us a chance to completely understand our friends’ problems 3．Which shows the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Ways of Judging Friends B．Understanding of Friendship C．Advice on Making Friends D．Improvements of Social Life Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·重庆合川·月考）①Can you imagine a doctor performing a surgery (手术) on a patient thousands of kilometers away? A recent surgery was done by doctors in Chengdu. Using a robotic technology, the doctors saved a patient in Lhasa (拉萨). With the development of AI-powered remote surgery (人工智能辅助远程手术), modern healthcare has changed in a big way. ②AI played an important part in this surgery. By studying lots of medical data (数据), AI helps doctors plan the surgery, predict problems that could happen, and find the ways to solve them. ③During the surgery, AI also tells the doctors the patient’s necessary information, like heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen levels. If anything of the patient goes wrong, it can warn doctors and suggest to change the plan. ④Another key role in this surgery was supercomputer technology. Remote surgeries need fast data transmission (传送), as even small delays (延迟) can be dangerous. Supercomputing can quickly deal with a lot of data, making sure that the surgery pictures are clear and the doctors’ orders are followed at once. ⑤The robot does an excellent job in this surgery. It has one arm and one hole, which makes the cut smaller, making less pain and speeding up the process for the patient to get better. It also increases the chances of a successful surgery and lowers the risk of accidents. ⑥This kind of surgery is a huge excitement, especially for people in remote areas. It means that patients don’t have to travel far for good medical care, saving time and being treated in time. ⑦And for places with fewer doctors, this kind of surgery also brings good news as doctors from bigger cities can help with surgeries and train local doctors. This kind of surgery is important for improving healthcare everywhere. 1．How does the writer lead into AI-powered remote surgery? A．By giving reasons. B．By telling a story. C．By listing numbers. D．By giving an example. 2．Which of the following questions is answered in Paragraph 4? A．Why does the surgery need the help of a supercomputer? B．Where was the surgery performed? C．How’s the normal computer different from the supercomputer? D．When is the best time for the supercomputer to deal with the data? 3．What is the passage about? A．Art. B．Culture. C．Travel. D．Technology. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? (①=Para.1 ②=Para.2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤=Para.5 ⑥=Para.6 ⑦=Para.7) A． B． C． D． Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·四川达州·期末）Many Chinese words include directions or positions such as “up”, “down”, “left”and “right”. What is the Chinese history and culture hidden behind these words? Up or down We use shang cesuo (上厕所) to mean “go to the bathroom” and xia chufang (下厨房) to mean “go to the kitchen”. Why? In ancient times, houses were laid out (安排) in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part. On maps, north is usually at the top while south is at the bottom. In Chinese, we talk about “the north” as shang (上) and “the south” as xia (下). So people would say they were going “up” to the bathroom and “down” to the kitchen. Ancient Chinese not only used shang and xia to refer to directions, but also social status (地位). Shang was seen to be noble (尊贵的), while xia means humility (谦卑). For example, people used huangshang (皇上) to refer to the emperor and dianxia (殿下) to refer to princes who had a lower status than the emperor. Left or right In Chinese, we say yijian xiangzuo (意见相左) when we have different opinions. Why is it not yijian xiangyou (意见相右)? Most people today are right-handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in ancient Chinese, “left” meant different ideas from others, such as in yijian xiangzuo. If people don’t follow common ideas, accepted by the public , we say they are pangmen zuodao (旁门左道). “Left” and “right” also have something to do with people’s social status. For a long time in ancient China, “right” stood for higher status than“left”. For example, the character “佑”, came from “右”, means a person in a higher position would protect someone in a lower position. On the contrary (相反), “佐” means low-status people would serve high-status people. 1．Where was the bathroom in ancient times in China? A．In the northwestern part of the house. B．In the northeastern part of the house. C．In the southeastern part of the house. D．In the southwestern part of the house. 2．Which Chinese phrase shows the cultural meaning of Chinese words mentioned in the passage? A．左顾右盼 B．上蹿下跳 C．左邻右舍 D．敬如上宾 3．People use “left” to show ________. a. difference    b. similarity    c. high status  d. low status A．ac B．ad C．bc D．bd 4．Which of the following statements is right? A．“shang” and “xia” in ancient Chinese only refer to directions. B．If people have different opinions, we can say they are pangmen zuodao. C．“Going down to the kitchen” means the kitchen is usually built in the lower place in ancient China. D．Both “zuo” and “you” refer to help. 5．What’s the main idea of this paragraph? A．It tells us how to use some Chinese sayings. B．It tells us different social statuses. C．It tells us some famous people in the history of China. D．It tells us the Chinese history and culture are hidden behind these words about directions or positions. Passage 4 （24-25九年级上·山东德州·期末）Fujian Tulou is a special type of building that can be found in China, shaped like large rings (环形). These structures are made from earth and stand very strong against enemies. Inside a tulou, many families live together, which makes it like a big, round village! From the outside, tulou look simple, but inside, they are full of life and history. They are special not just in how they look, but in how they bring people together. Tulou is used by the Hakka people (客家人) in the mountainous areas of East China’s Fujian Province. China’s rapid development has not given up traditional culture but has gone hand in hand with its cultural heritage (遗产), passing it on from generation to generation, Fujian Tulou is the best explanation. In Zhangzhou’s Nanjing County, over 15,000 tulou buildings are kept, attracting a large number of tourists from home and abroad. At the Tulou scenic area, you can always see travelers taking photos or videos with their phones or cameras. Local people may invite visitors to their homes for a short tour, and they will share stories about the inside design of the tulou that has been passed down from their ancestors (祖先). There are also shops in the area, visitors can dress up in local traditional clothes and have their photo taken. Usually, these shops are crowded. The owner of the workshop guides people and shows them how to place a piece of red paper. The red paper is a symbol of good luck and happiness. First, they use golden ink to write on the paper, after that, they get a beautiful picture of the tulou, this special gift made by their own hands that they can take home. These activities are fun and also give visitors the chance to experience traditional Chinese culture for themselves. So, come to the tulou and take a look.

C．To introduce Chinese traditional culture. D．To attract visitors to open shops here. Passage 5 （24-25九年级上·山东德州·期末） Purple power The last time you went to buy a coffee or a Coke, what kind of cup did it come in? In Petaluma, California, US, to-go drinks are now served in a type of purple cup. Each cup has a QR code (二维码). More than 60 special bins have been set up around the city to collect these reusable (可重复使用的) cups. Workers will come later to clean them and send them back to shops for reuse, reported CBS News. The city-wide project is the first of its kind in the US. It aims to stop the use of disposable (一次性的) cups, which have been around since the early 1900s. Before the invention of disposable cups, people shared wooden or metal (金属的) cups for drinking. Lawrence Luellen, a lawyer in Boston, US, was worried about the spread of germs (细菌). So he invented a disposable “Health Cup” made of paper in 1907. It quickly caught on, especially after the serious Spanish flu in 1918. Disposable cups are common. Today’s disposable cups also have polystyrene (聚苯乙烯) in them. This type of plastic helps keep the drinks warm. However, it takes about 500 years to completely break down. Every year, people in the US throw away 50 billion single-use cups, according to The Guardian, This is bad for our planet. For example, polystyrene turns into small pieces with time. Animals may eat them and get hurt. Since its start on Aug. 1, the purple cup project in Petaluma has received wide attention, more than 30 businesses have joined in, including Starbucks and Coca-Cola. They are tracking (追踪) the QR codes on the cups to see how many of them are being reused. The project will end in November. What comes next depends on how it goes, reported The Guardian. 1．How does the writer start this text? A．By telling a story. B．By giving an example. C．By asking a question. D．By showing a saying. 2．What is the project in Petaluma mainly about? A．Adding QR codes to disposable cups. B．Serving to-go drinks in reusable cups. C．Setting up special bins for paper cups. D．Producing all paper cups in purple. 3．Why did Lawrence Luellen invent the disposable “Health Cup”? A．To remind people to drink healthy drinks. B．To make people’s lives more convenient. C．To prevent the spread of germs. D．To save more wood and metal. 4．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Disposable cups cause environmental problems. B．Disposable cups are made from different things. C．Disposable cups won’t harm our health at all. D．Disposable cups have many advantages. 5．What can we infer about the project from the passage? A．The project was a huge success. B．The results of it need to be checked. C．People don’t fully support it. D．More cities will join it in the future. Passage 6 （24-25九年级上·山东德州·期末） As time flies, the year is coming to an end. Many people feel anxious about the end of the year. What can we do to deal with the feelings? ＊Think about the good things It’s easy to forget the positive experiences you have had. When we’re so busy but have to think about what’s next, we quickly forget the good. Think about the good things that happened to you and celebrate your achievements from this past year. Practice: List your best memories, proudest moments and small-to-big wins from this year so far. List the people who helped make this year great so far. List what went well compared to this time last year. ＊Think about the goals you hope to have this year What tasks would you like to finish before the year ends? Know what you feel you should do and what you really want to do. For things you feel you should do, let them go for now. It’s good to accept that not everything you hoped for will happen, and that’s okay.

You did some exercise the day before, and the next morning, even a small movement like sitting up in bed would cause muscle soreness. Now you want to exercise again, but you’re wondering: Can I still exercise when I’m so sore? Well, there is no exact answer; it depends. Experts explain that soreness isn’t always bad. It’s normal to feel sore when you train hard or challenge your muscles in new ways. It is known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS, 延迟性肌肉酸痛). It usually reaches the peak (顶峰) within 48 hours and goes away in 72 hours. It happens because hard or new exercises break down muscle tissue (组织). Then your body tries to repair it, which causes soreness. Don’t worry- this breakdown helps your muscles grow stronger during the repair process. What you should pay attention to is just how sore you feel. Rick Richey, a sports medicine teacher, says, “If your soreness is not serious, it’s okay to exercise. You just need to go easier, like lifting lighter weights or running slower.” However, if your soreness is more than a mild ache, take a break. “Your body is smart—it tells you to stop, “Richey says. What’s more, exercising with super-sore muscles isn’t helpful. Sore muscles are not able to produce as much force and usually get tired more quickly. Richey says serious soreness can prevent you from getting better, and it might even make you hurt yourself. If you really want to exercise, work on the muscles that don’t ache. For example, if your arms ache, exercise your legs. “If you’re sore in one muscle, look for other parts of your body you can exercise,” Richey says. 1．Which graph can show the change about DOMS in 72 hours? A． B． C． D． 2．What do we know about DOMS? A．It is a kind of terrible illness. B．It makes your muscles weak forever. C．It usually appears later after exercise. D．It happens only when you lift heavy things. 3．Why is it not helpful to exercise with super-sore muscles? A．Because they may never recover. B．Because they will get tired faster. C．Because they can produce more force. D．Because they will influence your sleep. 4．If your legs ache, what should you do according to Richey? A．Stop all exercise. B．Take medicine right away. C．Exercise your arms. D．Keep exercising your legs slowly. 5．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To explain what causes DOMS. B．To discuss whether to exercise with sore muscles. C．To tell readers how to repair sore muscles quickly. D．To introduce different ways to challenge your muscles. Passage 8 （25-26九年级上·四川·期中）The Hakka people, a Han Chinese subgroup (分支), have an unusual history, language, and culture. Hundreds of years ago, they moved from their homeland in central China to Southeast China. In Chinese, Hakka means “guest families” as if these people were guests on the land. Clearly, Hakka earth buildings are different from any other traditional architectural (建筑的) form. The buildings are not only huge in size, but also quite strong. To build them, the Hakka people mix earth, sand, bamboo, and other things together, and then tamp the mixture into nearly 2-meter-thick walls that stand in a close circle. The heavy walls can not only keep the earth buildings warm in winter and cool in summer, but also protect people against danger. If danger comes, the only door will be closed. People can stay safely in the building for a long time as there’s enough space for food and water in it. Some of the oldest earth buildings date back to the 12th century, and the latest examples were built in the last century. Sometimes people call them roundhouses. But actually, not all earth buildings are round. Square ones can be found as well. Most of these buildings have three or four floors, and each one can hold hundreds of people — all sharing the same last name. The first floor is used for kitchens and dining rooms; the second floor is for keeping grain; and the third and fourth floors are used for bedrooms. We Chinese always say, “A nearby neighbor is better than a distant relative.” The earth-building-living Hakka people have the best of both worlds, as neighbors are also relatives. However, these buildings are facing a problem: fewer and fewer people would like to live in them. 1．Which may be the picture of the Hakka earth building? A． B． C． 2．What does the writer mention about the Hakka earth building in Paragraph 2? ①Its advantages (优点).    ②Its history.    ③The building process. ④The building materials.        ⑤The possible dangers. A．①②④ B．②③⑤ C．①③④ 3．Which is the structure of the Hakka earth building? A． B． C． 4．What can we infer from this passage? A．All the buildings are in the same shape. B．People who live in a Hakka earth building are family. C．The Hakka people like to live in earth buildings better than in tall buildings. 5．What will the writer talk about next, most probably? A．How do the Hakka people get along with each other? B．Why are the Hakka people leaving the earth buildings? C．Who don’t the Hakka people want to share the buildings with? Passage 9 （25-26九年级上·重庆·月考）Today, food delivery has become an important part of modern daily life. It fits easily into people’s daily lives with just a few taps on smartphones. But people hardly know this convenient service has a history of hundreds of years. Experts say that basic dining services like today’s food delivery first appeared as early as the Han Dynasty. However, the clear term “food delivery” was first written down in the Song Dynasty. At first, this service was only for nobles, officials and rich people, and it showed their high social position. But as society became richer, this service slowly became a part of people’s daily lives and was widely used by common people. The Song Dynasty witnessed the golden age of China’s takeout industry (行业). This lively scene is well described in the famous book A Dream of Splendour (《东京梦华录》). Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty (now Kaifeng in Henan Province), had a busy food delivery market. Small restaurants on the streets and special restaurants sold many kinds of prepared dishes-from delicious fried dishes to nice pastries. They provided more convenience for those who didn’t feel like cooking at home. Without modern tools to communicate, ordering food was much harder than today. Customers either went to restaurants themselves or asked others to go and place orders. They also told the restaurants the exact time and place to send the food. The people who delivered the food were called “Xianhan”. They walked through the busy streets to make sure the food arrived on time. People wanted the food they delivered to stay warm and tasty. The smart people in the Song Dynasty invented “wenpan” to solve this problem. A wenpan was two plates put together, with an empty space between them. People poured hot water into this space, which kept the food on top warm. This was a simple but clever idea, and it showed how practical the Song people were. 1．What do we know about food delivery in ancient China? A．It only served important people. B．The term was first recorded in the Han Dynasty. C．It became popular in the Song Dynasty. D．Xianhan sent orders to the restaurant. 2．Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “witness” in the dictionary? witness /ˈwɪtnəs/ noun, verb A．N-COUNT  A witness to an event such as an accident or a crime is a person who saw it. B．N-COUNT  A witness is someone who appears in a court of law to say something about a crime. C．V-T  If you witness an accident or a crime, you see it happen. D．V-T  If you witnessed a particular event or change, you mean it happened during that period of time. 3．Which picture correctly shows “wenpan” from the Song Dynasty? A．B． C． D． 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Unboxing the Takeout History B．The Food Delivery C．The History of Wenpan D．The Wisdom of Ancient People Passage 10 （24-25九年级上·河南三门峡·期中）Sanmenxia is surrounded by the Yellow River on three sides.

In 2025, people around the world are discussing just that—how to make sustainable lifestyles available to everyone. The idea is simple: we need to live in a way that protects our planet for the future. This means making choices that are better for the environment, like reducing plastic waste, saving energy, and choosing greener products. However, for many people, sustainable options can be too expensive or hard to find. The goal for 2025 is to remove these barriers and make the healthy, eco-friendly choice also the easy and affordable one for all consumers. This global conversation touches many parts of our lives. It’s about the food we eat and the health of our soil. It’s also about how cities can become greener and how we can protect workers from the increasing heat caused by climate change. These are not just environmental issues; they affect our economy, health, and social progress. Young people play a key role. By being thoughtful consumers—choosing products with less packaging, saving water and electricity, and learning about these issues—you are already contributing. The shift to a sustainable future starts with small, smart decisions in our everyday lives. 1．According to the passage, what is the main goal for sustainable living in 2025?

What about free time with parents around? Some teenagers want free playtime without their parents’ supervision (监管) while parents and experts may think differently. Lin Tao, a middle school student, thinks teenagers should be free to play. “Last time I played with my parents around, I was nervous and just couldn’t enjoy myself to the fullest,” Lin says. “And my friend Chen Xiaoxin has similar experiences. Once, he went out to play with his classmates. Everyone felt uncomfortable under his mother’s supervision.” Wang Min, a mother of a 14-year-old boy, thinks playtime needs supervision. She explains, “People usually say I like to control my kid, but that’s not true. I am just worried that he will get into trouble. Some guys may have a bad influence on him and some games may mislead (误导) him. He might even get indulged in the games and can’t get back to real life.” Mr. Ma, a doctor of social studies, says it’s understandable for teenagers to wish for freedom. Free play helps them to be independent. Parents can give them more space. They don’t have to supervise them all the time. However, teenagers should find out the exact details (细节) about the activities before playtime. Then they can communicate with their parents and decide together whether they can go out to play alone. 1．According to the text, free time is a good chance for teenagers to ________. A．study hard B．have fun C．get into trouble D．mislead parents 2．How does Lin Tao support his own idea? A．By listing numbers. B．By raising questions. C．By comparing facts. D．By giving examples. 3．What do the underlined words “get indulged in” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Get lost in. B．Get interested in. C．Be tired of. D．Be proud of. 4．Which of the following ideas may Mr. Ma support? A．A boy’s parents should never ask him about whom he plays with. B．A boy can go out without knowing anything about the activities. C．A boy’s parents should be around every time he plays with his friends. D．A boy should talk to his parents about the exact details before playtime. 5．Which is the right structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2, …) A． B． C． D． Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·河北·月考）Parents are important in shaping their children’s lives. They make decisions and plans for their children. However, in my opinion, teenagers over the age of 15 should be allowed to make their own decisions. Teenagers, over 15 have the ability to make independent decisions. With the rapid development of technology, today’s teenagers have a better understanding of the world. Compared with their parents, they’re knowledgeable at an early age. So they may make wiser decisions. Making decisions helps teenagers feel confident (自信的). When teenagers are allowed to make decisions, they feel more confident in their ability to handle problems. This can help them develop a stronger feeling of control over their lives. By making decisions, teenagers learn not to depend on others. If parents make decisions for their children all the time, they’ll never learn to be responsible (有责任心的) for themselves. They’ll just depend on their parents for every choice in their lives. When teenagers are allowed to make decisions, they may ▲ . But it doesn’t matter. That’s because they can learn from their mistakes and will do better next time. During the process, teenagers can develop problem-solving abilities. Allowing teenagers to make decisions can improve relationships between children and parents. By giving children respect (尊重), parents can show that they trust their children to make good choices. With trust and respect, children will have more communication with their parents. All in all, teenagers over 15 should be given the chance to make decisions. 1．Why does the writer think today’s teenagers may make wiser decisions? A．They study harder. B．Their teachers help them. C．Their parents give better advice. D．They are knowledgeable at an early age. 2．What does the underlined word “handle” mean? A．Deal with. B．Call in. C．Start with. D．Connect with. 3．Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A．make decisions B．learn from mistakes C．make mistakes D．develop skills 4．Which of the following may the writer agree with? A．Teenagers should depend on their parents. B．Parents should trust and respect their children. C．Family relationships are easy to be improved. D．Parents should make plans for their children. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．How Teenagers Solve Life Problems B．Why Parents Should Help Teenagers C．How Parents Shape Teenagers’ Lives D．Why Teenagers Should Make Decisions Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·广东东莞·期中）I was coming up from a store in Manhattan when a woman waved and smiled at me. “I love your shoes.” she said loudly. “I noticed them in the store and just had to tell you.” I was a little surprised. People usually don’t talk about such small things in Australia. But in New York, it’s common for locals to tell you what they like about your clothes. However, after living in New York for a while, I started to enjoy this habit of giving praise. I started to praise strangers in cafes, bars, or even while waiting in line. ▲ Research shows that praise makes people happy, and it’s not just the receiver who feels good. According to Lisa Williams, a social psychologist (社会心理学家), the person giving praise also gets a sense of pleasure. She says that interactions with strangers can be very valuable. For example, a quick chat with a taxi driver can have more benefits than just offering praise. But it’s important to be careful with what you say. Talking about someone’s physical appearance, like their weight or age, might not be welcome. Giving praise to strangers can change your view of life. It can help you see the positive things around you and let go of cynicism (愤世嫉俗). So, try to look up from your phone and notice great things around you. You can start by looking at people’s shoes. It’s a small act, but it can make a big difference in your day. 1．Why was the writer surprised at first? A．Because a woman waved and smiled at her. B．Because people in New York like others’ clothes. C．Because a stranger in Manhattan praised her shoes. D．Because people usually don’t talk about shoes in Australia. 2．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 2? A．People prefer to be praised by strangers. B．Praise does not influence the giver’s mood. C．Social psychologists advise to praise family. D．Praise benefits both the giver and the receiver. 3．What does the underlined word “interactions” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Instruction. B．Information. C．Attention. D．Communication. 4．This chart shows how this passage is developed. Which is the missing part? A．The call of praise B．The skills to praise C．The introduction of praise D．The benefits of praise 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．The Art of Praise B．The Expected Praise C．A Change from Shoes D．Small Talk with Strangers Passage 5 （25-26九年级上·浙江湖州·月考）Have you ever eaten a meal that only needs to be warmed up for a few minutes when you are home alone? That’s prefabricated food (预制菜), also called ready-to-eat food. It is prepared in factories, sealed (密封) in packages (包装), and sold in supermarkets or online. With the fast pace of life, more and more people choose it, but is it really a good choice? One big problem of prefabricated food is its high salt and fat content. In order to make it taste better and last longer, factories often add a lot of salt and oil. For example, a box of prefabricated pork may have more than half of the daily salt we need. If we eat such food for a long time, we will easily put on weight and have a higher possibility of getting illnesses like high blood pressure. Another issue is the safety problem. Prefabricated food usually has too many food additives (添加剂) and companies sometimes don’t follow health rules during production. Sometimes, the packages may not be sealed well, thus food may become unsafe to eat. What’s worse, the market rules on these products are still not strict enough, making it hard for customers to tell good products from bad ones. However, prefabricated food isn’t all bad. It’s convenient for busy people to cook. According to the data, the daily cooking time for prefabricated food users in 2025 has gone down a lot, from an average of 2.3 hours a day to just 48 minutes. More importantly, prefabricated food has a standardized (标准化的) production line, which decreases food waste by 30%. Faced with the two sides of prefabricated food, we must neither give up completely nor do nothing. Therefore, factories should reduce salt and fat content, while the government should take a stronger hand in managing the market. Only then can prefabricated food truly offer convenience without harming our health. 1．What’s the disadvantage of prefabricated food? A．No proper packaging or sealing. B．Low salt and fat content. C．Strict market rules. D．Too many food additives. 2．How does the writer show the opinion on prefabricated food in Para. 4? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving examples. C．By questioning scientists. D．By describing experiences. 3．How does the writer feel about prefabricated food? A．He is against it. B．He is a fan of it. C．He shows no interest. D．He stays in the middle. 4．What’s the best title for the text? A．Is Prefabricated Food Easy to Make? B．Why is Prefabricated Food so Popular? C．Is Prefabricated Food a Good Choice? D．What is the Future of Prefabricated Food like? Passage 6 （25-26九年级上·江西宜春·期中）Think about the last time you went to an art or history museum. Which pieces of artifacts (文物) stood out to you? Did you read the introduction next to them? Did it tell you where the artifacts were from and how the museums got them? Today, many museums around the world own art and artifacts that were stolen or looted (掠夺) from their original countries during war or colonial rule. You may see ancient Chinese paintings shown in the British Museum, or sculptures from Africa that date back to the 19th century on display in the Louvre Museum. Many countries have asked European museums to repatriate the artifacts. The debate over whether and how museums should give back artifacts to their original countries has been going on for many years. Those who suggest returning all foreign artifacts to their homes insist that it is morally (道义上) the right thing to do. Furthermore, the country owning the objects will receive an important part of their heritage back, and these artifacts will be given a chance to be truly valued in their homeland. Yet there are different voices. Those against the return point out that some foreign artifacts were not stolen but bought a long time ago. Also, it is sometimes hard to identify (确认) the true owners of certain artifacts—should they be returned to the country, a group or an individual? There is also a view that culture is a shared treasure and the artifacts are in fact “cultural ambassadors (大使)” that improve understanding. They believe that while taking them away from their countries of origin was wrong, history is full of “good” and “bad” actors. Moreover, they feel that keeping the cultural objects in the current museums has kept millions of artifacts safe from damage. On the matter of return, some governments have made the move. In 2018, French President Emmanuel Macron told officially that France would give back 26 looted treasures to the African state of Benin. “I cannot accept that a large part of cultural heritage from several African countries is in France,” said Macron. It’s said to be part of France’s long-promised plans to return artifacts taken from Africa during the colonial rule. Museums all across Europe began reconsidering their previous policies on colonial treasures. In France, twenty-seven artifacts had been identified for return, but only one has been returned. Then, on October 6, 2020, France’s National Assembly officially passed a bill (法案) promising the return of these heritage artifacts, but didn’t fix a certain date. It seems that there is still a long way to go for the return of foreign heritage treasures. 1．The underlined word “repatriate” in paragraph 2 probably means______. A．protect B．show C．return D．borrow 2．People who consider foreign artifacts as “cultural ambassadors” may agree that ______. A．mistakes in history need correcting in time B．heritage artifacts belong to all the human beings C．artifacts will be better protected in their homeland D．history museum tours will be popular in the future 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．French museums refused to identify all the colonial treasures. B．Policies and bills have no use in protecting foreign heritage treasures. C．The treasures stolen or looted can hardly be back to their homeland soon. D．Governments have the duty to keep foreign treasures in good protection. 4．By writing this passage, the writer wants to ______. A．explain how and why many foreign treasures were stolen or looted B．advise governments to take actions in returning foreign treasures C．encourage us to take part in the debate over stolen or looted treasures D．show different views and present situation on the return of treasures Passage 7 （25-26九年级上·北京海淀·期中）On weekends, some people rush to select photos from a marathon and write like “pushing my limits” right after crossing the finish line, eager to post them on social media. Others spend vacation evenings stressed about perfecting travel videos, carefully choosing background music, worried they might miss a chance to show off a “perfect holiday” to others. We live in such an “achievement society” where leisure (休闲) has lost its true purpose. Instead of being a break from tiredness, it has become a new stage for branding and selling ourselves. We fill our free time with self-promotion, turning relaxation into a competitive and tiring performance that finally leads to burnout, and then we easily get distracted (分心的) by the desire to gain others’ praise. To escape this trap, we can turn to the wisdom of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, who lived from 384 to 322 B．C． In his famous Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle starts by saying that we are all searching for happiness, but he argues we are often confused about how to achieve it. He points out that pleasure, wealth, honor, and power do not bring lasting happiness. True happiness comes from our choices of habits, which are not just about action, but also motives (动机) and character, he says. Good habits are the result of moving constantly in the right direction through practice. In Aristotle’s view, the true meaning of such self-development differs sharply from self-promotion. In an achievement society, we are often forced to respond to outside pressures to self-promote. We may instead look to pleasure, wealth, honor and power for happiness. This can sidetrack our self-development needed for true happiness. For Aristotle, leisure is very important for self-development. The true purpose of leisure is not tied to the need to achieve—it is time we can reflect on our real needs, develop friendships, think for ourselves, and step back and decide what kind of life we truly want to live. Without such leisure, happiness stays out of reach. In today’s achievement-focused society, we must rethink leisure: not as a tool for self-promotion, but as a space to grow. The choices we make during our free time can either bring us closer to happiness or lead us toward burnout. After all, true happiness comes from becoming the best of ourselves, not meeting others’ standards. Aristotle told us that we can control the most important things in a good life: what kind of person we will become. And leisure is the time when we can decide what habits to develop and what kind of person to be. Will we give in to the achievement-focused society? Or will we use our free time to develop ourselves as individuals? 1．Why does the writer mention two examples in Paragraph 1? A．To introduce the negative influence that social media has on people. B．To compare different kinds of activities in leisure time. C．To show what leisure in an achievement society is like. D．To explain why leisure is important for personal growth. 2．What does the word “sidetrack” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A．Distract. B．Direct. C．Decide. D．Discover. 3．Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A．Self-promotion in leisure blocks true happiness. B．True happiness comes from pleasure and honor. C．Shared standards are connected with true happiness. D．Leisure should be used for self-promotion. 4．According to the passage, what is a good example of spending free time for its true purpose? A．Following others to spend evenings watching popular TV shows. B．Posting photos on social media and collecting one hundred likes. C．Reading a favorite book in the park and relating it to real life. D．Buying expensive new-style sports shoes and showing them off. Passage 8 （24-25八年级上·北京·期中）No one wants to work at a messy desk and look lazy or sloppy (草率的). But does a messy desktop actually make you either of those things? Not all disorders mean you’re out of control. Even Steve Jobs thought his personal charm (个人魅力) came from his messy desktop. People who prefer a messy desk have their own ideas. Some think it makes them comfortable. A too-tidy room can sometimes make them uncomfortable. Some believe it helps them concentrate more easily. Messy tables can make it easier to focus on the tasks, just like some novelists can write patiently in a noisy cafe. Others may be perfectionists (完美主义者). For those who strive for perfection, tasks are either 100% or 0% performed. Therefore, they usually put away the less important things and perform the most important ones perfectly. Many people are labeled as (被标记为) “sloppy” and “inefficient” because of messy tabletops. However, when we see the desks of Albert Einstein, Mark Twain and Mark Zuckerberg, things might change. Obviously, the world welcomes uniformity (整齐划一) and order. It also never refuses regular disorder, which seems like a mess but runs in an organized way. In an experiment done by psychologist Kathleen Vohs, participants (参与者) were asked to come up with new uses for ping-pong balls. Both participants in the messy and clean offices created the same number of ideas. However, those in the messy room came up with more interesting and creative ideas. People who don’t keep a neat and tidy desktop can actually develop organizational skills and manage work and thoughts successfully. In spite of great disorder, a messy desktop presents information clearly, which can sometimes inspire us unconsciously (无意识地). Research has found people working with a messy desktop are more likely to be creative and willing to take risks, while people with a tidy one tend to follow the rules and are less likely to try new things. But a messy desk might not be ideal all the time. When you need new ideas, a messy desk might be a good choice; but when you want to be efficient (高效的) and perform a task successfully, it seems better to make a desk clean and tidy.

Passage 9 （25-26九年级上·内蒙古兴安盟·月考）Technology (科技) has done our world wonders: from development in medicine, travel, communication, to our day-to-day lives. It has undoubtedly changed the way our society works, and how we communicate with one another and ourselves. However, by completely welcoming technology as a part of everyday life, are we losing our ability to create? Technology presents a new platform for creativity to exist (存在) on. Through technology, ideas can be set free and come to life in the physical world. We have the necessary tools for greater possibilities and new solutions. For example, businesses now have the opportunity to improve themselves more creatively through websites, film advertisements, social media or radio. However, when we look more closely, it’s easy to notice some disadvantages. For example, many of us depend so heavily on automated calculations (自动计算) nowadays, rather than taking the time to work it out for ourselves. Another obvious situation is that a lot of people are spending too much time on screens. As a result, they are reducing the opportunities to come up with their own creations. Is there a way to find a balance between technology and human creativity? I think so. It is simply a matter of making sure that creativity is not deterred by technology. The first way is to reduce our usage of digital devices (数字设备) by setting limits on when, where, and how long we use them, turning off the notifications (通知) on your phone, or putting your phone on “Do Not Disturb”. Once you become used to these, you will feel surprised how little you think about your phone. Another wonderful way is to take daily walks in nature. It can help you reset, rebalance, and keep going. In the long run, a daily walk can not only influence our creativity and imagination but further our physical and mental (精神的) health. We can also develop our creativity by doing yoga, keeping a journal, or reading. The key to the survival (生存) of our creativity starts with us. Will you put your phone away when spending time with friends? Will you try to find happiness and purpose outside of a screen? The actions you choose to take will help change the relationship between creativity and technology for the better. 1．Why does the writer talk about businesses in Paragraph 2? A．To stress the importance of creativity. B．To suggest good ways to develop technology. C．To show the effect that technology has on creativity. 2．The word “deterred” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”. A．examined B．controlled C．prevented 3．The writer probably agrees that ________. A．limiting the usage of our phones can help us develop creativity B．spending time on screens is the easiest way to keep people happy C．turning off the notifications on the phone will make people worried 4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Technology: How Does It Help Develop Creativity? B．Creativity in a World of Technology: Does It Exist? C．Technology and Creativity: Which Is More Important? Passage 10 （25-26九年级上·广东江门·月考·名校卷）As Frans de Waal, a primatologist (灵长动物学家), recognizes, a better way to think about other creatures would be to ask ourselves how different species have developed different kinds of minds to solve different adaptive problems. Surely the important question is not whether animals can do the same things humans can, but how those animals solve the cognitive (认知的) problems they face, like how to imitate the sea floor. Children and some animals are so interesting not because they are smart like us, but because they are smart in ways we haven’t even considered. Sometimes studying children’s ways of knowing can cast light on adult-human cognition. Children’s pretend play may help us understand our adult taste for fiction. De Waal’s research provides another interesting example. We human beings tend to think that our social relationships are rooted in our perceptions, beliefs, and desires, and our understanding of the perceptions, beliefs, and desires of others—what psychologists call our “theory of mind.” In the 80s and 90s, developmental psychologists showed that preschoolers and even infants understand minds apart from their own. But it was hard to show that other animals did the same. “Theory of mind” became a candidate for the special, uniquely human trick. Yet de Waal’s studies show that chimps (黑猩猩) possess a remarkably developed political intelligence —they are much interested in figuring out social relationships. It turns out, as de Waal describes, that chimps do infer something about what other chimps see. But experimental studies also suggest that this happens only in a competitive political context. The evolutionary anthropologist (人类学家) Brian Hare and his colleagues gave a junior chimp a choice between pieces of food that a dominant chimp had seen hidden and other pieces it had not seen hidden. The junior chimp, who watched all the hiding, stayed away from the food the dominant chimp had seen, but took the food it hadn’t seen. Anyone who has gone to an academic conference will recognize that we may be in the same situation. We may say that we sign up because we’re eager to find out what other human beings think, but we’re just as interested in who’s on top. Many of the political judgments we make there don’t have much to do with our theory of mind. We may show our respect to a famous professor even if we have no respect for his ideas. Until recently, however, there wasn’t much research into how humans develop and employ this kind of political knowledge. It may be that we understand the social world in terms of dominance, like chimps, but we’re just not usually as politically motivated as they are. Instead of asking whether we have a better everyday theory of mind, we might wonder whether they have a better everyday theory of politics. 1．According to the first paragraph, which of the following shows that an animal is smart? A．It can behave like a human kid. B．It can imitate what human beings do. C．It can find a solution to its own problem. D．It can figure out those adaptive problems. 2．Which of the following statements best illustrates our “theory of mind”? A．We talk with infants in a way that they can fully understand. B．We make guesses at what others think while interacting with them. C．We hide our emotions when we try establishing contact with a stranger. D．We try to understand how kids’ pretend play affects our taste for fiction. 3．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Neither human nor animals display their preference for dominance. B．Animals living in a competitive political context are smarter. C．Both humans and some animals have political intelligence. D．Humans are more interested in who’s on top than animals. 4．By the underlined sentence in the last paragraph, the writer means that________. A．we know little about how chimps are politically motivated B．our political knowledge doesn’t always determine how we behave C．our theory of mind might enable us to understand our theory of politics D．more research should be conducted to understand animals’ social world 故选B。 记叙文 Passage 1 社团/俱乐部 环境保护 Passage 6 探索发现 Passage 2 中华文化 其他著名人物 Passage 7 家庭生活 Passage 3 人与动植物 Passage 8 哲理感悟 Passage 4 个人经历 网络利弊 Passage 9 文学名著 Passage 5 哲理感悟 Passage 10 哲理感悟 Passage 1 （2024·北京·中考真题） The school year began. As president of the recycling club, Scott was thinking about new activities to encourage other students to become more enthusiastic (热心的) about recycling. His club had helped to recycle a lot of waste for the past five years and he hoped that this year they would do even better. Scott went home one day and looked online, hoping to find ideas for events the club could organize at school. During his research, he learned that the amount (数量) of electronic waste, or e-waste, is increasing rapidly. Scott was upset with himself for not noticing this problem sooner. At that moment, he began to develop a plan. “There is a special project I want us to work on this term,” Scott announced (宣布) at the recycling club meeting the next day. “We have all heard about e-waste, but recently I learned about the bad effects it’s having on our environment.” He went on to tell the club members that he wanted them to organize an e-waste drive—a day when students and their families could drop off unwanted electronics to be recycled. “Now let’s get to work!” For several weeks, the recycling club was busy preparing for the upcoming e-waste drive, or e-drive as it was soon called. The big day finally arrived, and Scott was nervous. He and the other members arrived at school early to make sure that everything would go smoothly. Everyone waited eagerly, hoping that students of the school would take part in the event. It wasn’t long before the first cars pulled into the school parking lot. After a while, more people arrived. Phones, TV sets, computers and keyboards soon began piling up (堆积) . At the end of the event, Scott heard someone suggest that the school should have an e-drive event every term.

Passage 3 （2024·广东广州·中考真题）Ffh. Ffh. Ffh! It was not just the empty nest (鸟巢) of a pewee bird as Amy had found the last five days. Amy ran home through the woods. “Mum!” she shouted. “I see birds. Two. In cave (洞穴). Beautiful!” Mum smiled. Birds! Always birds! From the moment Amy woke up in the morning to the moment she closed her eyes at night, she thought only of birds. Amy climbed straight to her attic room—her museum, she called it. Every shelf, every spare inch of floor, was covered with nests, bird models and natural science books. The walls were covered with pencil and crayon drawings of many different kinds of birds, all signed “Amy in the woods.” “Are those the same birds who built the nest last year?

Passage 10 （2024·广东深圳·一模） It was a warm afternoon. A boy was reading a book in a busy square. As he read on, an old man sat down at his side and started talking to him. “I’ve read the book. It’s about the world’s greatest lie,” said the old man, looking at the book. “What’s that?” the boy asked in surprise. “We won’t get what we dream of.” “Really? Why are you saying that? Who are you?” asked the boy. “I’m the king of Salem. I have power from the universe,” said the old man. “I always appear when somebody is working so hard to follow his dream, either in the form of a solution, or a good idea. There are other things I do, too.” The old man continued. Once, he appeared before a miner (矿工), and took the form of a stone. The miner had given up everything and went mining for emeralds (翡翠). For five years he had been working a certain river, and had examined hundreds of thousands of stones looking for an emerald. The miner was about to give it all up, right at the point when, if he were to examine just one more stone—just one more—he would find his emerald. Since the miner gave up everything to follow his dream, the old man decided to use his power. He changed himself into a stone that rolled (滚动) to the miner’s foot. The miner, with all the anger of his five fruitless years, picked up the stone and threw it aside. But he threw it with such force that it broke the stone, and there, was the most beautiful emerald in the world. “When you really want something, all the universe helps you achieve it,” the old man said. 1．What is the world’s greatest lie? A．We will lose hopes for life. B．We will surprise the universe. C．We will fail to reach our goals. D．We will m$
