—I read a lot, and the works of Ernest Hemingway had a strong ________ on me as a child.
A. attention B. explanation C. situation D. influence
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——为什么你写作如此好?——我读了很多东西,小时候欧内斯特·海明威的作品对我影响很大。
考查名词。attention注意力;explanation解释,说明;situation情况;influence影响。句子用短语“have a strong influence on sb.”表达“对某人有巨大的影响”。故选D。
22. The woman didn’t choose ________ of the ties and left the shop without looking at a third one.
A. neither B. any C. all D. either
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:那个女人没有选择任何一条领带,并且没有看第三条就离开了商店。
考查不定代词辨析。neither两者都不;any任何;all所有;either两者之一。根据题干中“without looking at a third one”可知,女士只看了两条领带,此处指看的两条都没选;“either”用于两者之间,可与否定词“didn’t”搭配表示“两者都不”。故选D。
23. — Alice, you shouldn’t buy things ________ because they are on sale.
— Sorry, I won’t.
A. certainly B. simply C. wisely D. clearly
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——爱丽丝,你不应该仅仅因为打折就买东西。——对不起,我不会了。
考查副词辨析。certainly当然;simply仅仅;wisely明智地;clearly清晰地。根据“Alice, you shouldn’t buy things...because they are on sale.”可知,不应该仅仅因为打折就买东西。故选B。
24. In order to take care of his sick mother all night long, Tim has no choice but to ________.
A. stay up B. break down C. get up D. fall down
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:为了整晚照顾生病的母亲,蒂姆别无选择,只能熬夜。

25. —I think it’s impossible for us to work out the plan in just two days. It’s too difficult.
—You’re right. We can’t be ________ serious while working on it.
A. so B. very C. too D. more
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我认为我们不可能在两天内制定出这个计划。太难了。——你说的对。我们在做这件事的时候,越认真越好。
考查副词辨析。so如此,这么;very非常;too太;more更。根据“We can’t be...serious while working on it.”可知,此处应表示做事越认真越好,因此应用can’t be too+形容词,表示“越……越好,再……也不为过”。故选C。
26. — Dad, can I play the game Sheep and Sheep?
— Sorry. Not until your homework ________ this evening.
A. will be finished B. will finish C. finished D. is finished
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——爸爸,我可以玩《羊了个羊》的游戏吗?——对不起。直到你今晚的家庭作业完成。
考查被动语态。主语your homework和谓语finish之间是被动关系,until引导的时间状语从句中用一般现在时,故此处用一般现在时的被动语态be done。故选D。
27. The newly-invented machine requires ________ in order to check whether it will ________ well.
A. testing; work B. to test; suit
C. testing; suit D. to test; work

【详解】句意:这台新发明的机器需要测试,以检查它是否能正常运转。
考查非谓语动词及动词辨析。testing测试,现在分词;work(机器)运转;to test测试,动词不定式;suit适合。require后接动名词,主动形式表被动含义,即require doing,表示需要被做;此处描述机器的运行状态,用work更合适。故选A。

【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——孔子说:“工欲善其事必先利其器”。 ——我认为这对那些想参加比赛但没有接受过训练的人来说是一个很好的建议。
考查常识和习语。根据“In order to do a good job, one must first sharpen one’s tools”可知,强调要做好一件事,准备工作非常重要,故选A。

考查情景交际。I couldn’t agree more我完全同意;That’s not the point那不是重点;Not exactly不完全是;It sounds like a pity听起来很可惜。根据上句的观点及答句开头的“Yes”可知,说话人认可对方的说法,应用I couldn’t agree more回应。故选A。

Insect hotels don’t have beds or TVs, but they do offer ideal “homes” for insects. They can be as small as a backpack or as large as a car.
The idea of creating insect hotels began in Germany. The people there noticed that many insects are in danger of becoming extinct because humans are changing their environment. They decided to create an environment that would protect insects and help them do their work.
They found that ▲ . Some insects like wet environments, while others prefer dry areas. Wood sticks, hay, and leaves are some materials insects find comfortable. Insect hotels may also include sections, or “rooms”, that attract (吸引) different insects.
Insects are helpful in many ways. Some eat other insects that bite or sting us. Some carry pollen (花粉) between flowers, which helps plants make seeds.
Hotels for insects may be new, but beehives (蜂箱) are not. Humans have been creating homes for honeybees for more than 3,000 years. This hobby is called beekeeping. Beekeeping helps both bees and people. Bees make honey that we like to eat. They also carry pollen between flowers.
Insects help people in many ways, from controlling pests to helping plants grow. Making insect hotels and beehives are two ways we can help these animals grow strong.
59. The writer leads in the topic by ________.
A. telling a story B. asking a question C. showing a fact D. making a survey
60. The underlined word “extinct” in Paragraph 3 probably means?
A. active B. creative C. excited D. disappeared
61. Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4?
A. insects like to live on leaves B. some insects often eat other insects
C. insects like the same kind of environment D. different insects prefer different environments
62. From the passage, we can know that ________.
A. beekeeping is only helpful to bees B. insect hotels are always very small
C. insect hotels can help insects grow strong D. the idea of creating insect hotels began in Canada
【答案】59. B 60. D 61. D 62. C

Everyone in my class was afraid of Mrs. Lane, my math teacher. She knew everything, especially about you. She liked tidiness. After class, one of us would walk down the rows with the wastebasket and we would put in our waste paper.
Once, as a classmate collected our waste paper, Dave suddenly threw a paper ball into the basket about 4 feet away. Soon, other kids followed excitedly. I also put up a beautiful shot. But the minute it left my fingers, Mrs. Lane called my name. I felt so terrible.
“Nice shot! I’d like to see more,” she said. Mrs. Lane took me to the door. “Ten more shots from here. Every time you don’t score a goal, you have one hour with me after school.” The class cheered when I scored and groaned (叹气) when I failed. Finally, I made three shots and missed seven. It meant seven hours of one-on-one with Mrs. Lane, with one every afternoon. I simply accepted the fact that I’d never be happy again.
Then I understood why Mrs. Lane did this: I was new here. And I made only a few friends. Here’s what happened: Whether I hit the wastebasket or not, this brought my classmates’ attention to me.
The first day came.
“Come in,” Mrs. Lane said. “Pull up a chair.”
I did. She passed a plate of cookies to me. “You’re probably hungry,” she said. I was always hungry, so I took a cookie. “Thank you,” I said.
There was a plate of cookies on her desk every afternoon for the next six afternoons. They were homemade, and they were delicious. We grew closer that week.
And on that eighth afternoon, I felt a little lost as I kicked my way through fallen leaves, all the way home.
63. Why did Mrs. Lane ask the writer to throw ten more paper balls?
A. To train his skills. B. To show her anger.
C. To make him popular in class. D. To cheer the students up.
64. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. The writer didn’t want to shoot the balls.
B. The writer didn’t want to stay with Mrs. Lane.
C. The writer felt disappointed at missing seven shots.
D. The writer thought he was laughed at by his classmates.
65. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The writer was lost on his way home.
B. The writer was punished by Mrs. Lane.
C. The writer missed the cookies from Mrs. Lane.
D. The writer missed the time he spent with Mrs. Lane.
【答案】63. C 64. B 65. D
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者因在数学课上投掷纸球被老师Mrs. Lane“惩罚”,但实际发现老师通过这种方式帮助他融入班级,并通过课后相处建立友谊的故事。
【63题详解】
细节理解题。根据第4段“Then I understood why Mrs. Lane did this: I was new here... this brought my classmates’ attention to me”可知,作者是新生且朋友少,Mrs. Lane让他投掷纸团是为了让他获得同学的关注,从而在班级里受欢迎。故选C。
【64题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“It meant seven hours of one-on-one with Mrs. Lane, with one every afternoon. I simply accepted the fact that I’d never be happy again.”可知,作者因未投中纸球被迫与老师相处而沮丧,所以此句表示作者不想和Mrs. Lane待在一起。故选B。
【65题详解】
推理判断题。根据“There was a plate of cookies on her desk every afternoon for the next six afternoons...We grew closer that week. And on that eighth afternoon, I felt a little lost as I kicked my way through fallen leaves, all the way home.” 可知,作者和Mrs. Lane相处得很亲近,第八天没有这样的相处时,作者感到失落,可推测他想念和Mrs. Lane共度的时光。故选D。

Have you ever noticed that airplane seats are usually blue? Here’s why they are often a calming, dark shade of blue.
Blue is calming. The idea is to make airplanes feel more like home with relaxing colors and designs that help people feel calm and relaxed. People connect certain colors with certain feelings. Blue is a soothing color that suggests peace, calm, and relaxation.
It physically feels cooler. Blue can actually make you feel cooler. In a study reported by Popular Science, 48 percent of participants (参与者) thought soda served in a blue glass was more thirst-quenching (解渴) than soda served in glasses of other colors. This is probably because they connected blue with cold.
Blue feels professional. Blue can lower your heart rate, improve your mental clarity (清晰度), and inspire creativity, according to a website called Color Psychology (色彩心理学) exploring the meanings of various colors. It also says blue instills confidence and trust, which most airlines could make use of.
It’s a common well-liked color. It is hard to find someone who dislikes the color blue. It is a common color widely welcomed by the public. This is also why many brands (品牌) choose to have blue logos. People around the world connect the color with positive things, such as clean water and blue skies, so they tend to like it. In many different cultures and across all ages, blue is the world’s most popular color.
Blue can also be practical. The right shade hides marks well. Imagine how many people sit on airplane seats every day. And how many crumbs (食物碎屑), drinks, and other things get spilled on them? Dark colors are better at hiding marks. Those dark blue seats will look newer and cleaner for longer.
66. How many reasons are mentioned in the article why airlines prefer blue seats?
A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.
67. Why do many brands often choose blue as the color for their logos?
A. Blue can lower people’s heart rate. B. Blue suggests peace and relaxation.
C. Blue is a common well-liked color. D. Blue is practical and hides marks well.
68. What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To find out the reasons why airplane seats are usually blue.
B. To discover how popular blue is among different cultures.
C. To prove that blue can physically make people feel cooler.
D. To discuss the psychology behind how airplanes are designed.

So far, China has successfully sent a large number of satellites (卫星) and spaceships into space. Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names.
Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e-Ⅰ. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true.
Kua Fu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kua Fu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called Kua Fu Mission.
Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2,000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground.
From such simple things as giving names to satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology.
69. In China, space scientists get ideas from _______ when naming satellites.
①old stories ②traditional projects ③ancient famous people ④ popular inventions
A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ③④
70. What do we know about Chang’e Ⅰ according to the passage?
A. It moves around the moon. B. It protects the Jade Rabbit.
C. It “visits” the sun with the scientists. D. It is the world’s first man-made satellite.
71. Which is the right structure of the passage?
(①= Paragraph 1 ②= Paragraph 2, ...)
A. B. C. D.
72. What’s the writer’s main purpose (目的) of writing the passage?
A. To spread (传播) the traditional Chinese culture.
B. To explain how our scientists develop the space industry.
C. To introduce the achievements in our science and technology.
D. To tell how traditional Chinese culture influences our space science.
【答案】69. B 70. A 71. A 72. D

Recently, a self-made sign post at Yuelu Mountain in Changsha, Hunan Province has become popular on social media (媒体). The sign reads, “If you feel unloved, go mountain climbing, after which you will feel so tired that you won’t think about it.” Many people pass through the west gate of the mountain and walk for a while to take pictures with the sign.
Mountain hiking has become a new hit for people looking for beautiful autumn views. The sign has also become a must visit for travelers. It was actually put up by mountain climbing lovers, but it has become famous.
The “heart-shaped track (路线)” on Yuelu Mountain has also been welcomed on the Internet recently. It appears because some climbers explore a new track to climb the mountain, which forms the shape of a heart. The heart-shaped track is much longer and takes about three to four hours to reach the mountain top.
A climber works at a university. She said she exercises often and when she climbed the mountain last time, some of her younger friends couldn’t keep up. Now many people get tired of exercise like running and are not in very good health so the mountain climbing will be a good choice. Hiking is also a good way to make friends.

【答案】例文
Dear friend,
I’m also a Grade 9 student. It is common for us to have such problems. I’d like to give you some advice on how to deal with them.
First of all, be confident. We should believe nothing is impossible. Don’t lose heart, or you can achieve nothing. What’s more, it’s important to be hard-working. If we work hard enough, we are sure to make progress. Also, we should always remember that a miss is as good as a mile, so try to be careful. To keep a balance between study and hobbies, perhaps you should manage your time better and get yourself more organized. Besides, when having stress or worries, remember to share them with others. It’s also a good choice to go to ask teachers or parents for help.
I hope you think my advice is worth taking. Face the year of Grade 9 wisely. It is you who shape your life and future!

Suppose you are going to a hotel with your family. You’d probably expect to find a room with a bed, a TV, and a bathroom. What might you find in an insect hotel?
Insect hotels don’t have beds or TVs, but they do offer ideal “homes” for insects. They can be as small as a backpack or as large as a car.
The idea of creating insect hotels began in Germany. The people there noticed that many insects are in danger of becoming extinct because humans are changing their environment. They decided to create an environment that would protect insects and help them do their work.
They found that ▲ . Some insects like wet environments, while others prefer dry areas. Wood sticks, hay, and leaves are some materials insects find comfortable. Insect hotels may also include sections, or “rooms”, that attract (吸引) different insects.
Insects are helpful in many ways. Some eat other insects that bite or sting us. Some carry pollen (花粉) between flowers, which helps plants make seeds.
Hotels for insects may be new, but beehives (蜂箱) are not. Humans have been creating homes for honeybees for more than 3,000 years. This hobby is called beekeeping. Beekeeping helps both bees and people. Bees make honey that we like to eat. They also carry pollen between flowers.
Insects help people in many ways from controlling pests to helping plants grow. Making insect hotels and beehives are two ways we can help these animals grow strong.
59. The writer leads in the topic by ________.
A. telling a story B. asking a question C. showing a fact D. making a survey
60. The underlined word “extinct” in Paragraph 3 probably means?
A. active B. creative C. excited D. disappeared
61. Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4?
A. insects like to live on leaves B. some insects often eat other insects
C. insects like the same kind of environment D. different insects prefer different environments
62. From the passage, we can know that ________.
A. beekeeping is only helpful to bees B. insect hotels are always very small
C. insect hotels can help insects grow strong D. the idea of creating insect hotels began in Canada

Everyone in my class was afraid of Mrs. Lane, my math teacher. She knew everything, especially about you. She liked tidiness. After class, one of us would walk down the rows with the wastebasket and we would put in our waste paper.
Once, as a classmate collected our waste paper, Dave suddenly threw a paper ball into the basket about 4 feet away. Soon, other kids followed excitedly. I also put up a beautiful shot. But the minute it left my fingers, Mrs. Lane called my name. I felt so terrible.
“Nice shot! I’d like to see more,” she said. Mrs. Lane took me to the door. “Ten more shots from here. Every time you don’t score a goal, you have one hour with me after school.” The class cheered when I scored and groaned (叹气) when I failed. Finally, I made three shots and missed seven. It meant seven hours of one-on-one with Mrs. Lane, with one every afternoon. I simply accepted the fact that I’d never be happy again.
Then I understood why Mrs. Lane did this: I was new here. And I made only a few friends. Here’s what happened: Whether I hit the wastebasket or not, this brought my classmates’ attention to me.
The first day came.
“Come in,” Mrs. Lane said. “Pull up a chair.”
I did. She passed a plate of cookies to me. “You’re probably hungry,” she said. I was always hungry, so I took a cookie. “Thank you,” I said.
There was a plate of cookies on her desk every afternoon for the next six afternoons. They were homemade, and they were delicious. We grew closer that week.
And on that eighth afternoon, I felt a little lost as I kicked my way through fallen leaves, all the way home.
63. Why did Mrs. Lane ask the writer to throw ten more paper balls?
A. To train his skills. B. To show her anger.
C. To make him popular in class. D. To cheer the students up.
64. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. The writer didn’t want to shoot the balls.
B. The writer didn’t want to stay with Mrs. Lane.
C. The writer felt disappointed at missing seven shots.
D. The writer thought he was laughed at by his classmates.
65. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The writer was lost on his way home.
B. The writer was punished by Mrs. Lane.
C. The writer missed the cookies from Mrs. Lane.
D. The writer missed the time he spent with Mrs. Lane.

Have you ever noticed that airplane seats are usually blue? Here’s why they are often a calming, dark shade of blue.
Blue is calming. The idea is to make airplanes feel more like home with relaxing colors and designs that help people feel calm and relaxed. People connect certain colors with certain feelings. Blue is a soothing color that suggests peace, calm, and relaxation.
It physically feels cooler. Blue can actually make you feel cooler. In a study reported by Popular Science, 48 percent of participants (参与者) thought soda served in a blue glass was more thirst-quenching (解渴) than soda served in glasses of other colors. This is probably because they connected blue with cold.
Blue feels professional. Blue can lower your heart rate, improve your mental clarity (清晰度), and inspire creativity, according to a website called Color Psychology (色彩心理学) exploring the meanings of various colors. It also says blue instills confidence and trust, which most airlines could make use of.
It’s a common well-liked color. It is hard to find someone who dislikes the color blue. It is a common color widely welcomed by the public. This is also why many brands (品牌) choose to have blue logos. People around the world connect the color with positive things, such as clean water and blue skies, so they tend to like it. In many different cultures and across all ages, blue is the world’s most popular color.
Blue can also be practical. The right shade hides marks well. Imagine how many people sit on airplane seats every day. And how many crumbs (食物碎屑), drinks, and other things get spilled on them? Dark colors are better at hiding marks. Those dark blue seats will look newer and cleaner for longer.
66. How many reasons are mentioned in the article why airlines prefer blue seats?
A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.
67. Why do many brands often choose blue as the color for their logos?
A. Blue can lower people’s heart rate. B. Blue suggests peace and relaxation.
C. Blue is a common well-liked color. D. Blue is practical and hides marks well.
68. What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To find out the reasons why airplane seats are usually blue.
B. To discover how popular blue is among different cultures.
C. To prove that blue can physically make people feel cooler.
D. To discuss the psychology behind how airplanes are designed.

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

阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。
Recently, a self-made sign post at Yuelu Mountain in Changsha, Hunan Province has become popular on social media (媒体). The sign reads, “If you feel unloved, go mountain climbing, after which you will feel so tired that you won’t think about it.” Many people pass through the west gate of the mountain and walk for a while to take pictures with the sign.
Mountain hiking has become a new hit for people looking for beautiful autumn views. The sign has also become a must visit for travelers. It was actually put up by mountain climbing lovers, but it has become famous.
The “heart-shaped track (路线)” on Yuelu Mountain has also been welcomed on the Internet recently. It appears because some climbers explore a new track to climb the mountain, which forms the shape of a heart. The heart-shaped track is much longer and takes about three to four hours to reach the mountain top.
A climber works at a university. She said she exercises often and when she climbed the mountain last time, some of her younger friends couldn’t keep up. Now many people get tired of exercise like running and are not in very good health so the mountain climbing will be a good choice. Hiking is also a good way to make friends.
