C.We can learn more about outer space on the second floor. D.People can try hands-on activities at 3:00 p.m.on Thursday. B It's never too early to start doing good deeds for others.Akindhearted 9-year-old boy Pavel shows that an early age can do more to uplift others.He decided that he would take up the cause of helping animals. Pavel had this wonderful idea for helping animals when his family lost one of their own pets,which hit the family quite hard.He also began to care about the situation of stray()animals in the city.In order to help the stray animals,he set up a project called"Kind Paintbrush". In this project,Pavel uses his talent to achieve his goal.There is only one animal shelter()in the town,and Pavel is its youngest volunteer.To support the animal shelter,Pavel draws pet pictures to exchange for animal food,which are donated to the local shelter. He always hopes to meet the owners of the pets,and he knows each name of the pets he has painted.He is ofen touched by stories of pets that have been saved,which makes him even more motivated to paint and help more animals. 九年级英语第4页共10页 This amazing project has already grown beyond the town.Pavel has influenced the people outside the town.They either use their own talents to exchange for animal food or pay for more animal supplies. "I'm happy we can make a difference to the lives of animals who are in need of help.Everyone can do something for the stray animals,such as volunteering at the animal shelters to help clean the animal living spaces,adopting()one instead of buying one,and educating others about the importance of animals protection,"said Pavel. Pavel's dreams for the future are still tied to helping animals.He plans to become an architect when he grows up and build a big animal shelter.But for now,he will do as much as he can with his art and love for animals. 29.What encouraged Pavel to start the project"Kind Paintbrush"? A.The loss of a pet in Pavel's family. B.An invitation from a local animal shelter. C.His strong wish to win an art competition D.A school activity about community service 30.What do you know about"Kind Paintbrush"according to the passage? A.Volunteers mainly help by donating money. B.There are some volunteers younger than Pavel. C.The project is only open to the people in the town. D.Volunteers can choose different ways to help animals 31.What is Pavel probably like? A.Shy and talented. B.Kind and creative. C.Funny and outgoing. D.Patient and humorous. c Do you think you're a good listener?Most people would say yes.But studies show that most people seriously overestimate()their ability to listen.The truth is we are generally not good at listening,and our listening comprehension() drops as we age. Why aren't we good at listening?One reason is about the speed at which we think.The adult brain can process up to around 400 words per minute.This means a person thinks more than three times faster than he speaks during a conversation. Therefore,we can easily think about something else while someone is talking to us. Thinking about how you will reply while someone is still talking is one of the most common barriers that stop you from careful listening. Another reason that leads to our poor listening is our ever-decreasing attention span(持续时间).According to the study by Microsoft,in2000,the average human attention span was 12 seconds;in 2013,it was only 8 seconds!Our mobile phones often distract us,which can have a negative influence on our listening.Test results have shown that being stopped by a cell phone lowers listening comprehension by 20 percent. More and more people now realize that listening is a skill that can be developed through practice.Learing to watch a speaker's body language and emotions carefully, 九年级英拼第5页共10页 for example,can improve our active listening.Even the simple act of note-taking or making eye contact can help us stay focused while listening. There are many rewards of effective listening.Research suggests that people who are good listeners make better leaders.And a recent study shows that workers who don't believe their bosses are listening to them are less likely to offer helpful suggestions and new ideas.As Dr.Ralph Nichols once said,"The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood.The best way to understand people is to listen to them." 32.According to the passage,why does the brain's processing speed prevent careful listening? A.It causes people to speak too quickly. B.It reduces the ability to remember details. C.It prevents emotional connection with the speaker. D.It allows the mind to pay attention to other thoughts 33.What does the underlined word"distract"in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Change one's mind. B.Develop one's interest. C.Influence one's health. D.Take one's attention away. 34.Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage? A.Taking simple practices may improve listening ability. B.It is necessary to receive expensive training programs. C.Good speakers are more likely to become better leaders. D.The ways of improving listening skills are useless for old people. 35.What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To prove listening skills are unchangeable. B.To describe the influence of phones on people. C.To give reasons for poor listening and solutions. D.To compare listening abilities across different ages. D A device used to treat brain injuries worked so well. Following a trial((试验)，some patients refused to have theirs turned off.The trial,which began in 2018,involved five people between the ages of 22 and 60.They all had problems which were related to mental activities like thinking or reasoning after having serious brain injuries for 3 years or more.The injuries meant they had difficulty performing some tasks. For the trial,doctors implanted()a tiny device into each patient's brain during an operation.The device used"deep brain stimulation"(DBS),which rebuilds connections between neurons.Neurons are tiny cells,and there are billions of them in the brain.Whenever you do something,chemical and electrical signals move between your neurons.The tiny device applied electricity to parts of the brain.The trial was the first to focus DBS on a part of the brain that deals with consciousness().It helped people be aware of what is around them and be able to respond(作出反应)to it. After the devices were put into the brains,the patients in the study had them turned on for 90 days,for 12 hours a day.This had a great influence on their lives. 九年级英语第6页共10页 They could suddenly do things,like reading a book or playing video games,that used to be impossible because of their brain injuries.They also reported feeling less tired and could get through the day without napping. After 90 days,researchers wanted to tum off some of the patients'devices.Two people were so happy with the difference the device made in their lives that they refused.Finally,one person agreed to have theirs turned offand their brain performance got worse. Gina Arata,a patient who took part in the trial,said,"I can remember how mych money is in my bank account.I wasn't able to read,but after the implant I bought a book...and loved it and remembered it."Nicholas Schiff,one of the authors of the study,called it a "pioneering moment."Scientists hope the implant will change the lives of more people with serious long-term brain injuries. 36.Which of the following is TRUE about the patients in the trial? A.They have problems with mental activities. B.The patients include both children and adults. C.Only four patients are invited to be in the trial. D.All of them get injured almost at the same time. 37.What does the word"it"refer in Paragraph 2? A.The research team. B.The serious brain injury. C.The use of DBS device. D.The chemical signal between neurons. 38.Which is NOT mentioned as a result of using the device? A.Patients will feel less tired than before. B.Patients will have more need for napping. C.Patients may have the ability to read books D.Patients'memory for daily tasks will be better. 39.What is the right order of the following steps of the trial? a.Researchers tried to turn off some patients'devices. b.Doctors implanted tiny devices into patients'brains. c.Patients had their devices turned on for 12 hours daily. d.Two patients refused to let researchers turn off the device. e.Patients showed improved cognitive abilities like reading.

A.Brain surgery risks:a patient's story B.The way neurons send signals in the brain C.A new device for patients with brain injuries D.Anew discovery of a cure for all brain injuries 非选择题 四、填空 A)根据括号中所给的汉语提示写出单词，使句子意思完整正确，并将答案 填写在答题卡标号为41一45的相应位置上。 As teenagers,we are going through a time of great41_(个人的)change,. where we are trying to find a sense of self-worth.At the 42 of this period,you'll realize the importance of developing a healthy relationship with others.

But Mars is no ready-made Earth.We'd have to make it Earth-like.Is this possible,or is this just an idea from a sci-fi movie? Is there oxygen on Mars? To live on Mars,humans need water,food,a place to live,and a warm environment with oxygen.Mars'air is mostly made of a gas that we can't breathe,and there's very little oxygen,making it very cold at night.One idea to make Mars'air better is to crash water---rich comets(彗星)and asteroids(小行星)into the planet..This could give off gases and water and make the air thicker.NASA has shown that crashing asteroids is possible,but many large ones would be needed. Making it a "tasty"place to live To grow food on Mars,we need soil,but there are many harmful things on the the ground of Mars..One idea is to clean out the perchlorates(高氯酸盐)and add 九年级英语第8页共10页 fertilizers()to help plants grow.A controlled greenhouse might be easier to use. However,providing the right amounts of oxygen,water,and food is very difficult.On Earth,scientists are trying a similar idea with Biosphere 2,a closed ecosystem with a controlled environment.But the scientists still have a hard time getting things just right. Building homes Buildings on Mars could be 3D-printed,but they would need special protection until Mars'environment becomes more like Earth.However,there are many more challenges.For example,unlike Earth,Mars doesn't have a magnetosphere(), which means harmful radiation()can reach it.Creating a protective magnetic field is difficult. But no matter what happens,such work to make Mars more like Earth is not a waste of time.For example,work on 3D-printing technology to make homes on Mars is being used to help print homes on Earth and solve the problem of not having enough places for people to live. Making Mars a place to live Topic Besides the moon,there is a 56 that Mars could be a place for humans to live.
