C It has been over 500 years since the first journey around the whole planet in 1522. Long before the invention of trains and planes, many believed such a journey was impossible. It nearly was. The journey was started by Portuguese sailor, Ferdinand Magellan, but he never saw it finished. Magellan was following in the footsteps of explorers like Christopher Columbus. But his journey was even more adventurous. A journey around the whole world would show completely that the world was not flat, but round. In 1519, Ferdinand Magellan set sail from Spain with the support of its king, Charles V. However, many Spanish sailors in the fleet didn’t like being led by a Portuguese man. After fighting storms, losing ships and many of his men turning against him and returning home, Magellan was killed in the Philippines by local people. After Magellan’s death, his group continued in the only ship that was left. Along the way, they traveled across a new ocean and opened up new routes for European trade. For better or worse, they had made the way for modern world trade. Sixty thousand miles later, and after the death of 80 percent of those who took part, the journey had shown that the world could be circled around. The passage Magellan’s team went through, between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, was named after him: the Strait of Magellan. It is 570 kilometers long. His influence on the world did not end there. In 1989, NASA named a spacecraft after the explorer and sent it to Venus（金星）. 9. When did Magellan start the “impossible” journey? A. In 1519. B. In 1522. C. In 1525. D. In 1989. 10. What did Magellan’s group do during the journey? A. They crossed a new ocean. B. They turned against their king. C. They gave up the only ship. D. They managed to kill Magellan. 11. What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A. The Strait of Magellan. B. Magellan’s big influence. C A spacecraft from NASA. D. The exploration of Venus. 12. What’s the best title for the text? A. The unusual life of Magellan B. The result of a great voyage C. The first journey around Earth D. The 500-year-old adventure D Miss Martha owned a small bakery (面包店). She was forty, a kind woman with a big imagination. She often wondered about the customers in her shop. One customer made her very curious. He was a middle-aged man with glasses, who always wore old clothes, but clean. He came twice a week, and each time, he only bought two loaves (条) of hard bread. He never looked at her delicious pies or fresh cakes. Miss Martha decided he must be a poor, hungry artist. She imagined him living in a very small, cheap room, thinking only about his painting so much that he forgot to eat. The idea touched her kind heart. She began to wish she could help him. The next time he came to the shop, she acted quickly while his back was turned. She took two hard loaves, made a small hole in each, and put a large piece of fresh butter inside. Then she wrapped them up as usual. Her heart beat fast as she handed him the bread. She spent the rest of the day dreaming that he would discover her kindness and thank her. Suddenly, the quiet of the afternoon was broken. The shop door flew open, and the man stormed in. His face was dark with anger. He threw the bread down hard on the table. “I am an architect (建筑师)!” he shouted. “For the past three months, I have been working on a building plan. I draw in pencil, and I use pieces of hard bread as erasers. It works better than a rubber eraser! But now... look.” He held up his drawing. A huge, dirty mark from the butter ran across the clean, straight lines. “You filled my bread with butter!” he shouted. “My work is damaged!” —Adapted from Witches’ Loaves by O. Henry 13. What does the first paragraph introduce? A. The meaning of the story. B. The ending of the story. C. The background of the story. D. The surprise of the story. 14. Why did Miss Martha put butter in the man’s bread? A. To help the man in secret. B. To show her love for the man. C. To improve the man’s work. D. To make the bread look better. 15. What’s the correct time order of the following events? ①The man went to the shop angrily. ②Miss Martha was curious about the man. ③The man began to work on a building plan. ④The man tried to erase lines with the bread that had butter inside. A. ②④①③ B. ③②④① C. ③④②① D. ②③④① 16. What might Miss Martha realize in the end? A. Good actions need real understanding first. B. People had better try to make perfect plans. C.

It covers only seven square meters, but thousands of books are kept in it. Unlike traditional libraries, this one doesn’t require its readers to return the books. Instead, it encourages them to pass those books on to someone else when they’ve finished reading. The owner of this library, Mr. Xu, is a businessman, who started it in 2010. The idea took shape when Xu recommended books online to students, but found it hard for them to get the books from their school libraries. So, Xu bought and gave away nearly 1,000 books in the following year. The students who received the books were very thankful. Their thank-you letters got Xu to turn his book-gifting effort into a physical (实体的) space. Xu’s library might be the smallest in the world, but in another sense, it’s also the biggest because its books keep moving. Once, a reader took home an English book on Chinese history. A week later, he passed it on to a neighbor. Amazingly, the book traveled all the way abroad and ended up in Germany. Xu says he will continue this work although the library is now faced with the challenge of e-books. “This is the most meaningful thing I’ve done in my life,” he says. “I hope that the library can stay open forever.” 41. How big is the small library? ________________________________________________________________ 42. What directly made Mr. Xu decide to open the physical library? ________________________________________________________________ 43. What challenge is the library faced with now? ________________________________________________________________ 44. What kind of person is Mr. Xu? List your reason(s). Write 30 words or more. ________________________________________________________________ 五、书面表达（满分20分） 45. 假定你是李辉，在英国好友Jack的帮助下，你在上周学校组织的英语演讲比赛中获得了一等奖。请你给Jack写一封电子邮件，内容包括： （1）表示感谢； （2）简述Jack对你的帮助； （3）邀请Jack到中国来。 注意： （1）词数80~100，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； （2）可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； （3）邮件中不能出现真实姓名及学校名称。 Dear Jack, I am very excited to tell you that I won first prize in our school’s English-Speaking Competition last week. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hui 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $null 2025-2026学年度上学期期末质量监测 九年英语 （本试卷共65道小题 满分120分 考试时间100分钟） 听力部分（共20道题 满分30分） 第一节（共8小题；每小题1.5分，满分12分） 听下面对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有5秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

She was forty, a kind woman with a big imagination. She often wondered about the customers in her shop. One customer made her very curious. He was a middle-aged man with glasses, who always wore old clothes, but clean. He came twice a week, and each time, he only bought two loaves (条) of hard bread. He never looked at her delicious pies or fresh cakes. Miss Martha decided he must be a poor, hungry artist. She imagined him living in a very small, cheap room, thinking only about his painting so much that he forgot to eat. The idea touched her kind heart. She began to wish she could help him. The next time he came to the shop, she acted quickly while his back was turned. She took two hard loaves, made a small hole in each, and put a large piece of fresh butter inside. Then she wrapped them up as usual. Her heart beat fast as she handed him the bread. She spent the rest of the day dreaming that he would discover her kindness and thank her. Suddenly, the quiet of the afternoon was broken. The shop door flew open, and the man stormed in. His face was dark with anger. He threw the bread down hard on the table. “I am an architect (建筑师)!” he shouted. “For the past three months, I have been working on a building plan. I draw in pencil, and I use pieces of hard bread as erasers. It works better than a rubber eraser! But now... look.” He held up his drawing. A huge, dirty mark from the butter ran across the clean, straight lines. “You filled my bread with butter!” he shouted. “My work is damaged!” —Adapted from Witches’ Loaves by O. Henry 13.

The shop door flew open, and the man stormed in. His face was dark with anger.”可知男人用涂了黄油的面包擦线条，导致工作受损，所以他怒气冲冲地来到商店，所以正确顺序是③②④①。故选B。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，面包店店主玛莎出于善意，误以为一位常客是贫困的艺术家，于是在他常买的硬面包里偷偷加入黄油，结果却破坏了他用面包当橡皮擦的设计图纸，可推知玛莎最终会意识到：善意行动前应先真正理解对方的需要，否则可能适得其反。故选A。 第二节 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 There are two kinds of squirrels (松鼠) in the UK: the red squirrel and the grey squirrel.

It covers only seven square meters, but thousands of books are kept in it. Unlike traditional libraries, this one doesn’t require its readers to return the books. Instead, it encourages them to pass those books on to someone else when they’ve finished reading. The owner of this library, Mr. Xu, is a businessman, who started it in 2010. The idea took shape when Xu recommended books online to students, but found it hard for them to get the books from their school libraries. So, Xu bought and gave away nearly 1,000 books in the following year. The students who received the books were very thankful. Their thank-you letters got Xu to turn his book-gifting effort into a physical (实体的) space. Xu’s library might be the smallest in the world, but in another sense, it’s also the biggest because its books keep moving. Once, a reader took home an English book on Chinese history. A week later, he passed it on to a neighbor. Amazingly, the book traveled all the way abroad and ended up in Germany. Xu says he will continue this work although the library is now faced with the challenge of e-books. “This is the most meaningful thing I’ve done in my life,” he says. “I hope that the library can stay open forever.” 41.

He saw students had difficulty getting books, so he used his own money to buy and give away nearly 1,000 books. He also created a free library to help more people./Mr. Xu is a creative person. He thought of a new way to share books. He opened a special library. It allows people to pass the books on to others after reading. This idea lets one book reach many readers./Mr. Xu is a kind and creative person. He saw students needed books, so he spent his own money buying books and gave them away. He also created a smart library rule letting books travel to new readers instead of keeping them still.（言之有理即可） 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了徐先生在北京一条窄胡同里为学生创办了一间仅七平方米的小图书馆，不要求读者还书，反而鼓励大家将书传递下去。如今虽面临电子书的挑战，他仍决心继续运营这份有意义的事业。 【41题详解】 根据文章第一段“It covers only seven square meters…”可知，这个小图书馆有七平方米大故填Seven square meters./It’s only seven square meters. 【42题详解】 根据文章第二段“Their thank-you letters got Xu to turn his book-gifting effort into a physical (实体的) space.”可知，学生们的感谢信促使徐先生将他赠书的举动转化成了一个实体空间。故填The thank-you letters from the students./The students’ thank-you letters. 【43题详解】 根据文章最后一段“Xu says he will continue this work although the library is now faced with the challenge of e-books.”可知，图书馆如今面临着电子书带来的挑战。故填The challenge of e-books. 【44题详解】 本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，结合文章自由表达自己对徐先生的看法并说出缘由，言之有理即可，注意字数要求。故填Mr. Xu is a kind person.
