The person who answered the call was not the captain’s first choice. It was a young man who’d dropped out of medical school before finishing his studies. Even so, this journey would lead to one of the greatest scientific discoveries ever made. The young man in question, Charles Darwin, was interested in rocks, plants and animals. He left England on the ship, the Beagle, in 1831. The journey gave him the chance to study many living things in their natural environments. After Darwin had studied these during a stop in South America, he asked himself the question: How did different species (物种) come to be? At that time, people believed that all species had appeared on Earth at the same time, and had not changed since. But Darwin began to think differently. He noticed that some animal species looked a lot alike. Maybe animals slowly changed as they got used to environments. It was just an idea, but enough to inspire Darwin to look for more. Darwin believed that the birds had evolved (进化) from a common ancestor (祖先), which had arrived on the Galapagos Islands a long time before. Over time, it had slowly evolved into many new species. And that was the answer to how new species of plants and animals came to be: They evolved from earlier ancestors. It was a completely new idea—a theory (理论) of evolution. Darwin explained this theory in his book, On the Origin of Species. It was not published until 1859 and immediately caused a storm. Many people refused to believe that living things, including humans, had evolved from lower forms of life. They were shocked. But Darwin’s scientific studies were so convincing (有说服力的) that more and more people started to believe his idea. Today, On the Origin of Species is thought of as one of the most important works ever written. It has changed ideas about life on Earth forever. And it all began with the journey of the Beagle. 36. What do we know about Charles Darwin in the passage? A. He started the journey. B. He didn’t get good education. C. He was the captain’s first pick. D. He was curious about things around. 37. Where did the ship set off from? A. England. B. South America. C. Galapagos Islands. D. A little-known country. 38. What discovery did he make? A. New species. B. The earliest ancestor. C. A theory of evolution. D. On the Origin of Species. 39. Why did On the Origin of Species cause a storm after being published? A. The idea was convincing. B. The book was written by an unknown author. C. The book included so many scientific studies. D. The idea went against people’s thoughts at that time. 40. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Darwin’s Fight B. A Journey of Discovery C. A Book That Shocked the World Overnight D. The Beagle’s Secret Task to Prove Evolution (C) Congestion fee (拥堵费) has long been used in many cities around the world, including London, Milan and Singapore. Now, New York City has become the first city in the US to introduce it. The city’s new fee for drivers entering the center of Manhattan during busy hours took effect on Jan. 5. The fee differs depending on whether a car has E-ZPass, an electronic toll collection system (收费系统) used across the US. Cars with an E-ZPass pay $9 once per day. Drivers without an E-ZPass pay $13.50. Some special cases are free: emergency vehicles; school buses and people with disabilities and their helpers. The fee is aimed at reducing traffic congestion in the crowded city, reported AP. According to a report published in September 2024 on the New York State Senate’s official website, New York City is now the most crowded city on the planet, with the average driver spending 101 hours caught in traffic each year. The fees are also expected to raise $15 billion to fund repairs and improvements to New York City’s aging subway system and buses, according to The New York Times. Some people are in favor of the new rule. “I think the idea would be good to try to reduce the number of cars on the road and try to make people use public transportation,” Phil Barner, a doctor who lives in Manhattan, told AP. However, some doubt whether the new plan will successfully raise money for the subway system. “With my experience of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and how they’ve used their funds in the past, they've done a pretty poor job with that,” Christakis Charalambides said to AP. According to real-time data from INRIX, traffic already appeared to be lighter on the morning of Jan. 5 in the congestion area. Cars were moving faster compared to the same time in 2024. 41. What is the congestion fee in the US? A. A fee for passengers entering the US. B. A fee for travelers entering New York City. C. A fee for drivers entering the center of Manhattan. D. A fee for all people entering the center of big cities. 42. How much will a disabled driver with E-ZPass pay for 3 days? A. $0. B. $27. C. $40.5. D. $66. 43. Why did New York City introduce the new rule? A. Because the government wanted to introduce E-ZPass. B. Because the government wanted to reduce traffic jams. C. Because the government needed to raise money for the railway system. D. Because New York City wanted to follow cities like London and Milan. 44. What’s Phil Barner’s attitude towards the fee? A. He is against it. B. He supports it. C. He is not certain about it. D. He doesn’t care about it. 45. What effect has the fee had? A. Enough money has been raised. B. There’s no congestion any more. C. People now choose to use E-ZPass. D. Traffic in the city has been freed up a lot. 第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 How to Grow Potatoes Have you ever grown your own potatoes? ____46____ Potatoes can be grown in the ground, in raised beds, or in large boxes. Just pick a sunny place, get some soil and water it often, and you can have your own homegrown potatoes. Step 1: Choose Seed Potatoes The first step is to choose high-quality seed potatoes. These aren’t actual seeds, but small, whole potatoes or pieces of larger ones that will sprout (发芽) into new plants. Seed potatoes should be disease-free. If your seed potatoes haven’t started sprouting yet, set them in a warm, well-lit area for a few days. ____47____ Step 2: Prepare and Cut Your Seed Potatoes Once your seed potatoes have sprouted, it’s time to prepare them for planting. If your seed potatoes are small, you can plant them whole. ____48____ Using a clean, sharp knife, slice each large potato into pieces, making sure each piece has at least 1 to 2 “eyes”. After cutting, put the pieces in a warm, dry place without direct sunlight. Let them stay there for 3 to 5 days. Step 3: When and How to Plant Potatoes Aim to plant your potatoes about 2 to 4 weeks before your last expected frost (霜), when the soil temperature reaches at least 45°F. ____49____; in cooler regions, it’s often March or April. To plant, dig a 6-inch-deep hole. Place each seed potato piece cut-side down, with the “eyes” facing up. Cover with 2 to 3 inches of soil and water well. Step 4: ____50____ When the sprouts reach about 6 to 8 inches tall, gather soil. Repeat this “hilling” process every time the plants grow another 6 to 8 inches, building up a gentle hill about 12 to 18 inches tall over time. More coverage means more potatoes. Stop hilling once the plants begin to flower. Step 5: Harvest Potatoes You can begin harvesting baby potatoes about 2 weeks after the plants flower. Gently dig around the base of the plants and pull out potatoes. For a full harvest, wait until the leaves turn yellow and dry up. A. Hill Around the Plants B. In warmer climates, that might be February C. If not, you might be surprised how easy it is! D. Larger potatoes should be cut into smaller pieces. E. This process can help you harvest potatoes a bit sooner. 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共50分) 第四部分 写(共3节；50分) 第一节 语法填空(共10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个恰当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 China is widely known for its ancient civilization, and one of the main factors has been the Chinese writing system. At the beginning, written Chinese was a picture-based language. It dates back several thousand years to the use of longgu—animal bones and shells, symbols were carved (雕刻) on ____51____ (they) by ancient Chinese people. Some of the ancient symbols can still ____52____ (see) in today’s hanzi. By the Shang Dynasty (around 1600-1046 BCE), these symbols had become ____53____ well-developed writing system. Over the years, the system developed into different ____54____ (form), because people were divided geographically then. In the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BCE), Emperor Qinshihuang united the seven major states into one country and he ____55____ (make) everyone use the same writing system. That writing system was of great importance in uniting the Chinese people and culture. Even today, no matter where Chinese people live ____56____ what dialect (方言) they speak, they can all still communicate in writing ____57____ (easy). Written Chinese also connects China’s present with its past. Thanks ____58____ hanzi, we can read books written by Chinese in ancient times. In its development, the Chinese writing system has become an art form known as Chinese calligraphy (书法). It is an important part of Chinese culture. As China plays a greater role in the world, an increasing number of international students are hoping ____59____ (stay) in China. They are eager to learn more about China’s culture and history through this ____60____ (amaze) language. 第二节 信息提取(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，在下面的表格中填入与文章意思最符合的单词，每空填一词。 “For thousands of years, humans have raced to be the first to climb a high mountain or see a new kind of landscape. Now, in some cases, we’re racing to be the last,” said The New York Times’ Paige McClanahan. In recent years, a growing industry has been spurred on (刺激) by climate change—last-chance tourism. Last-chance tourism is a kind of tourism in which people try to see the last of something because of climate change. As temperatures and water levels rise, this could mean catching the last chance to see the Great Barrier Reef, an Arctic glacier (冰川) or a sinking island. As millions of tourists rush to endangered places, some are using it to spread environmental awareness (环保意识). One place of interest opened an exhibit in 2012 to educate visitors on glaciers and climate change. This educational push seems to be having an influence, as a 2020 survey showed that 80 percent of the visitors would “try to learn more about the environment and how to protect it” while 77 percent said they would reduce their water and energy use. However, the last-chance tourism industry may also be harmful. As more and more people rush to these areas to see them before they’re gone, they in fact lead to the more greenhouse gas and overtourism (过度旅游), making them disappear sooner. Many experts are calling last-chance tourism a two-sided thing. Although tourists may realize the risks and importance of climate change, it’s even more important to connect the responsibility of the single tourism to climate change. The Last-chance Tourism ____61____ of the last-chance tourism It is a kind of tourism in which people try to see the last of something because of climate change. ____62____ effects As millions of tourists rush to these places, some are making ____63____ of it to spread environmental awareness. Negative effects Too many people rush to these areas of last-chance tourism, it will make the situation ____64____. Conclusion Last-chance tourism is a coin with its two ____65____. 第三节 书面表达(满分25分) 66. 当我们遇到自己无法解决的问题或烦恼时，应该学会积极向他人寻求帮助。请以“Asking for Help”为题，用英语写一篇短文。 内容包括： （1）积极应对问题或烦恼的必要性； （2）寻求帮助的益处； （3）结合生活经历，简述你或他人寻求帮助的一个事例； （4）提供寻求帮助的方法(至少两个)。 写作要求： （1）语言流畅，层次清晰，内容可以适当发挥； （2）词数90—100，开头部分已给出，不计入总词数； （3）书写规范，卷面整洁； （4）文中不能出现考生姓名和学校名称。 Asking for Help There might be some problems or worries in life.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年秋季九年级期末教学质量监测 英 语 说明：1.全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.本试卷分为第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)，共四部分。 3.考生必须在答题卡上答题，写在试卷上的答案无效。选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂答案，非选择题必须使用0.5毫米黑色墨迹签字笔答题。 4.考试结束，将答题卡和试卷一并收回。 第Ⅰ卷 选择题(共100分) 第一部分 听力测试(共2节；30分) 第一节(共5小题，每小题1.5分，共7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三幅图中选出最佳选项。听每段对话前，你有5秒钟的时间阅读有关小题；听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话读两遍。 1.

A. stages B. passages C. messages D. advantages 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你知道为什么斑马鱼被带上神舟十八号吗？——它们有像体型小、发育周期短这样的优势。 考查名词辨析。stages阶段；passages段落；messages信息；advantages优势。根据答语中列举的“small size and short development cycle”可知，这些是斑马鱼被选中的有利条件或优点，应选用 advantages。故选D。 6. —______ fun the Art Festival is! —I agree with you. I have never had such a great time before. A. How B. How a C. What D. What a 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——艺术节真有趣！——我同意你的看法。我以前从未玩得这么开心。 考查感叹句。How多么，用于修饰形容词或副词；How a错误结构；What多么，用于修饰名词；What a用于修饰单数可数名词。根据“…fun the Art Festival is!”可知，此处fun是句中中心词，通常作不可数名词使用。修饰不可数名词应用What引导，且不加不定冠词a/an。结构为“What+不可数名词+主语+谓语！”。故选C。 7. —May I take your order, Mr Li? —I’d like a cup of coffee and a cake ______. A. by mistake B. at times C. as usual D. so far 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——李先生，可以点餐了吗？——我想要一杯咖啡和一块蛋糕，和往常一样。 考查短语辨析。by mistake错误地；at times有时；as usual像往常一样；so far到目前为止。根据对话情境，点餐时“一杯咖啡和一块蛋糕”是习惯性选择，表示“像往常一样”。故选C。 8. —Excuse me, may I use your dictionary? I ________ mine behind. —Sure. Here you are. A. leave B. have left C. will leave D. was leaving 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——对不起，我可以用一下你的字典吗？我把我的落下了。——当然。给你。 考查动词时态。分析句子可知，字典落下了，所以借用对方的，强调过去的动作对现在造成了影响，应为现在完成时，结构是have/has done。故选B。 9. —Could you tell us ______ we can start a conversation with a foreigner? —Talking about weather is a good choice. A. when B. whether C. why D. how 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你能告诉我们如何开始与外国人的对话吗？——谈论天气是个好选择。 考查宾语从句的引导词辨析。when何时；whether是否；why为什么；how如何。根据“Talking about weather is a good choice.”可知，问句询问的是如何开始对话，应选用表示方式的引导词how。故选D。 10. —Sorry, I failed again. It’s difficult for me to make a banana milk shake. —______ I’m sure you can. A. Bad luck! B. Take care. C. Keep trying! D. Sounds great! 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——抱歉，我又失败了。对我来说做香蕉奶昔很难。——继续努力！我相信你能行。 考查情境交际。Bad luck真倒霉；Take care保重；Keep trying继续努力；Sounds great听起来很棒。根据前句“Sorry, I failed again. It’s difficult for me to make a banana milk shake.”和后句“I’m sure you can.”可知，此处应表示鼓励对方不要放弃，坚持尝试，C项符合。故选C。 第二节 完形填空(共20小题，每小题1分，共20分) 阅读下列短文，从短文各小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 (A) My heart was beating rapidly in my chest as I found a shady (阴凉的) place to rest my tired body.

The person who answered the call was not the captain’s first choice. It was a young man who’d dropped out of medical school before finishing his studies. Even so, this journey would lead to one of the greatest scientific discoveries ever made. The young man in question, Charles Darwin, was interested in rocks, plants and animals. He left England on the ship, the Beagle, in 1831. The journey gave him the chance to study many living things in their natural environments. After Darwin had studied these during a stop in South America, he asked himself the question: How did different species (物种) come to be? At that time, people believed that all species had appeared on Earth at the same time, and had not changed since. But Darwin began to think differently. He noticed that some animal species looked a lot alike. Maybe animals slowly changed as they got used to environments. It was just an idea, but enough to inspire Darwin to look for more. Darwin believed that the birds had evolved (进化) from a common ancestor (祖先), which had arrived on the Galapagos Islands a long time before. Over time, it had slowly evolved into many new species. And that was the answer to how new species of plants and animals came to be: They evolved from earlier ancestors. It was a completely new idea—a theory (理论) of evolution. Darwin explained this theory in his book, On the Origin of Species. It was not published until 1859 and immediately caused a storm. Many people refused to believe that living things, including humans, had evolved from lower forms of life. They were shocked. But Darwin’s scientific studies were so convincing (有说服力的) that more and more people started to believe his idea. Today, On the Origin of Species is thought of as one of the most important works ever written. It has changed ideas about life on Earth forever. And it all began with the journey of the Beagle. 36. What do we know about Charles Darwin in the passage? A. He started the journey. B. He didn’t get good education. C. He was the captain’s first pick. D. He was curious about things around. 37. Where did the ship set off from? A. England. B. South America. C. Galapagos Islands. D. A little-known country. 38. What discovery did he make? A. New species. B. The earliest ancestor. C. A theory of evolution. D. On the Origin of Species. 39. Why did On the Origin of Species cause a storm after being published? A. The idea was convincing. B. The book was written by an unknown author. C. The book included so many scientific studies. D. The idea went against people’s thoughts at that time. 40. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Darwin’s Fight B. A Journey of Discovery C. A Book That Shocked the World Overnight D. The Beagle’s Secret Task to Prove Evolution 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. C 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了查尔斯·达尔文乘坐“小猎犬号”航行，通过观察自然界的动植物，提出进化论的过程及其著作《物种起源》的影响。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The person who answered the call was not the captain’s first choice.

They were shocked”可知，书中的观点与当时人们的认知相悖。故选D。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，全文围绕达尔文的航行及其科学发现展开，B项符合。故选B。 (C) Congestion fee (拥堵费) has long been used in many cities around the world, including London, Milan and Singapore. Now, New York City has become the first city in the US to introduce it. The city’s new fee for drivers entering the center of Manhattan during busy hours took effect on Jan. 5. The fee differs depending on whether a car has E-ZPass, an electronic toll collection system (收费系统) used across the US. Cars with an E-ZPass pay $9 once per day. Drivers without an E-ZPass pay $13.50. Some special cases are free: emergency vehicles; school buses and people with disabilities and their helpers. The fee is aimed at reducing traffic congestion in the crowded city, reported AP. According to a report published in September 2024 on the New York State Senate’s official website, New York City is now the most crowded city on the planet, with the average driver spending 101 hours caught in traffic each year. The fees are also expected to raise $15 billion to fund repairs and improvements to New York City’s aging subway system and buses, according to The New York Times. Some people are in favor of the new rule. “I think the idea would be good to try to reduce the number of cars on the road and try to make people use public transportation,” Phil Barner, a doctor who lives in Manhattan, told AP. However, some doubt whether the new plan will successfully raise money for the subway system. “With my experience of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and how they’ve used their funds in the past, they've done a pretty poor job with that,” Christakis Charalambides said to AP. According to real-time data from INRIX, traffic already appeared to be lighter on the morning of Jan. 5 in the congestion area. Cars were moving faster compared to the same time in 2024. 41. What is the congestion fee in the US? A. A fee for passengers entering the US. B. A fee for travelers entering New York City. C. A fee for drivers entering the center of Manhattan. D. A fee for all people entering the center of big cities. 42. How much will a disabled driver with E-ZPass pay for 3 days? A. $0. B. $27. C. $40.5. D. $66. 43. Why did New York City introduce the new rule? A. Because the government wanted to introduce E-ZPass. B. Because the government wanted to reduce traffic jams. C. Because the government needed to raise money for the railway system. D. Because New York City wanted to follow cities like London and Milan. 44. What’s Phil Barner’s attitude towards the fee? A. He is against it. B. He supports it. C. He is not certain about it. D. He doesn’t care about it. 45. What effect has the fee had? A. Enough money has been raised. B. There’s no congestion any more. C. People now choose to use E-ZPass. D. Traffic in the city has been freed up a lot. 【答案】41. C 42. A 43. B 44. B 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了纽约市首次在美国引入拥堵费的政策，包括收费标准、目的、支持与反对的声音以及初步效果。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Now, New York City has become the first city in the US to introduce it. The city’s new fee for drivers entering the center of Manhattan during busy hours took effect on Jan. 5.”可知，拥堵费是针对进入曼哈顿中心区的司机收取的费用。故选C。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Some special cases are free: emergency vehicles; school buses and people with disabilities and their helpers.”可知，残疾司机及其助手无需支付费用，因此3天的费用为0。故选A。 【43题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“The fee is aimed at reducing traffic congestion in the crowded city”和“The fees are also expected to raise $15 billion to fund repairs…”可知，政策的主要目的是缓解拥堵，同时为地铁系统筹集资金，结合选项，B项符合。故选B。 【44题详解】 观点态度题。根据Phil Barner的话“I think the idea would be good to try to reduce the number of cars on the road…”可知，他支持该政策。故选B。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据“traffic already appeared to be lighter on the morning of Jan. 5… Cars were moving faster compared to the same time in 2024”可知，拥堵费初步缓解了交通。故选D。 第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 How to Grow Potatoes Have you ever grown your own potatoes? ____46____ Potatoes can be grown in the ground, in raised beds, or in large boxes. Just pick a sunny place, get some soil and water it often, and you can have your own homegrown potatoes. Step 1: Choose Seed Potatoes The first step is to choose high-quality seed potatoes. These aren’t actual seeds, but small, whole potatoes or pieces of larger ones that will sprout (发芽) into new plants. Seed potatoes should be disease-free. If your seed potatoes haven’t started sprouting yet, set them in a warm, well-lit area for a few days. ____47____ Step 2: Prepare and Cut Your Seed Potatoes Once your seed potatoes have sprouted, it’s time to prepare them for planting. If your seed potatoes are small, you can plant them whole. ____48____ Using a clean, sharp knife, slice each large potato into pieces, making sure each piece has at least 1 to 2 “eyes”. After cutting, put the pieces in a warm, dry place without direct sunlight. Let them stay there for 3 to 5 days. Step 3: When and How to Plant Potatoes Aim to plant your potatoes about 2 to 4 weeks before your last expected frost (霜), when the soil temperature reaches at least 45°F. ____49____; in cooler regions, it’s often March or April. To plant, dig a 6-inch-deep hole. Place each seed potato piece cut-side down, with the “eyes” facing up. Cover with 2 to 3 inches of soil and water well. Step 4: ____50____ When the sprouts reach about 6 to 8 inches tall, gather soil. Repeat this “hilling” process every time the plants grow another 6 to 8 inches, building up a gentle hill about 12 to 18 inches tall over time. More coverage means more potatoes. Stop hilling once the plants begin to flower. Step 5: Harvest Potatoes You can begin harvesting baby potatoes about 2 weeks after the plants flower. Gently dig around the base of the plants and pull out potatoes. For a full harvest, wait until the leaves turn yellow and dry up. A. Hill Around the Plants B. In warmer climates, that might be February C. If not, you might be surprised how easy it is! D. Larger potatoes should be cut into smaller pieces. E. This process can help you harvest potatoes a bit sooner. 【答案】46. C 47. E 48. D 49. B 50.

Now, in some cases, we’re racing to be the last,” said The New York Times’ Paige McClanahan. In recent years, a growing industry has been spurred on (刺激) by climate change—last-chance tourism. Last-chance tourism is a kind of tourism in which people try to see the last of something because of climate change. As temperatures and water levels rise, this could mean catching the last chance to see the Great Barrier Reef, an Arctic glacier (冰川) or a sinking island. As millions of tourists rush to endangered places, some are using it to spread environmental awareness (环保意识). One place of interest opened an exhibit in 2012 to educate visitors on glaciers and climate change. This educational push seems to be having an influence, as a 2020 survey showed that 80 percent of the visitors would “try to learn more about the environment and how to protect it” while 77 percent said they would reduce their water and energy use. However, the last-chance tourism industry may also be harmful. As more and more people rush to these areas to see them before they’re gone, they in fact lead to the more greenhouse gas and overtourism (过度旅游), making them disappear sooner. Many experts are calling last-chance tourism a two-sided thing. Although tourists may realize the risks and importance of climate change, it’s even more important to connect the responsibility of the single tourism to climate change. The Last-chance Tourism ____61____ of the last-chance tourism It is a kind of tourism in which people try to see the last of something because of climate change. ____62____ effects As millions of tourists rush to these places, some are making ____63____ of it to spread environmental awareness.
