Class:Physics Date:2025/12/09 2025 An Experiment about Air Pressure Materials: -2020九年级下学期期初学情调 a cup your finger water Steps: Fill the cup with water until it's almost full. .Put the straw into the water. Cover the top of the straw with your finger tightly (and lift the straw up. Observe what happens to the water in the straw. The science behind it: Air pressure is all around us.When you cover the top of the straw with your finger,you stop the air from getting into the top of the straw.The air pressure below the water (from the cup)pushes the water up into the straw,so the water stays in the straw even when you lift it. The experiment is done on A.September 12th B.October 9th 3.2-3.3 C.November 12th D.December 9th 2.We need to cover the top of the straw with a finger tightly in Step 3 A.to prevent the finger from getting wet B.to hold the straw more tightly when we lift it C.to make sure air can't enter from the top of the straw D.to push the water down into the cup through the straw 3.The water stays in the straw when we lift it 英语试鲁 九年级 第1页共8页 A.because the straw is very thin and strong B.because water pressure is everywhere around us C.because the air pressure below pushes the water up D.because the cup is almost full of water 4.Lhe purpose of this experiment is to A.let students know how to keep safe in the experiment B.find out how air pressure affects the water in the straw C.teach students how to do a physics experiment successfully D.show that air pressure is everywhere around us in our life (B) In early February 2026,ByteDance(launehed its newest AI video model,Seedance 2.0.This amazing technology soon drew attention from all over the world.People praise it for its strong abilities,and it has become one of the most talked-about tech topics this year. What makes Seedance 2.0 so special?Well,it can make both videos and matching sounds at the same time,and the results are very natural.Its biggest advantage is multi-lens()storytelling.If you give it a short text or just one picture,it can create connected scenes.What's more,it keeps the characters,lighting and style the same throughout the video.The model also supports 2K resolution(and can take different kinds of inputs(),which makes making videos much easier and faster. When we compare Seedance 2.0 with other similar technologies like OpenAI's Sora,it does much better in both speed and video quality.Industry experts say it is a useful tool for creators,not something that will take their place.It helps many fields deveiop,such as media,short plays and digital content creation. But Seedance 2.0's launch also caused big ethical debates()right away.A serious worry appeared when tests showed that this model could make real-looking videos-even with matching voices-just from a photo.This made people worry a lot about identity theft(身份盗用)and privacy(隐私)problems.Because of this,ByteDance quickly stopped using this special function.Besides these ethical problems,the technology still has some technical issues.For example,sometimes the movements in the videos are not natural. Seedance 2.0 is an important step forward in AI video development.It shows how fast the AI video field is developing and how China is becoming more important in global AI innovation().At the same time,it makes us think about a very important question:how can we use such powerful technology safely and responsibly? 5.What is the passage mainly about? A.The disadvantages of AI video models B.Ways to create AI videos safely C.An introduction to Seedance 2.0 and its influences D.The competition between ByteDance and OpenAI 6.What is the biggest strength of Seedanee 2.0? A.It has no technical or ethical problems. B.It is cheaper than other AI video models. C.It can completely replace human creators. 英语试卷 九年级 第2页共8页 D.It can produce videos with synchronized(同步的)sound and consistent(一a致的scenes. 7.What does the underlined word "ethical"mean in the passage? A.about what is right or wrong morally B.abont new technology and machines C.about making money and business D.about art and beauty 8.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.China is playing a more important role in global Al innovation. B.AI video development has stopped because of ethical problems. C.Seedance 2.0 is the final step of AI video technology D.Powerful AI technology no longer needs strict rules. (C) The Chinese language is different from Western languages in that,instead of an alphabet ()it uses cnaracters which stand for ideas,objects or behavior.Chinese words are formed by putting together different characters.In many cases,a single character can also make up a word.As one kind of the most ancient characters,Chinese characters have played an important part in the development of Chinese culture. At first,ancient Sumeriant(苏美尔人)and ancient Egyptian symbols existed(存在)，but only Chinese characters are still in use today.The history of the Chinese language can be examined by looking at how these characters developed. Chinese writing began thousands of years ago.According to an aneient story,a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing.One winter day while he was hunting,he saw the footprints of animals in the snow and noticed that the appearance of each one was different.Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes to represent different objects.The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects.Some characters have been simplified (and others have been made more difficult over time. However,as a whole,the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms.The character for a mountain was at first three mountaintops together.This became one mountaintop and three lines,and over time turned into the character used today. Sometimes to express ideas,some eharacters were made by putting two or more characters together. For example,"rest"was made up of the characters.for a man and a tree.The character"prisoner"was formed with a"man"inside a square.Other characters were developed for directions and numbers.It is easy to tell the differences of their meanings by looking at them,for example,the characters for "up"and "down", which are opposites of each other. Though these kinds of characters show meanings,one of their shortcomings(is that they do not show how they should be pronounced.Therefore,a way was developed to have one part of a character represent the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation.Many Chinese characters used today were made this way. 英语试磨 九年量 售3页共8厦 In the 1950s the Chinese government introdaced smplified Chinese eharacters in the hope to make learning to read and write more understandable to a lavge nomber of people,which would increase the abllity to read and write across the country.And now they have widespread use in China's mainland. 米一休 四 下 上 形幼地始 t prisoner down p 列经3a 9.How did the writer introduce the Chinese characters?

Another idea suggests that earworms may have developed because of old ways of passing information by speaking.Before written languages were invented,early humans depended on rhythm() rhyme,and melody()to remember information.Over time,songs became especially easy to remember. 18These ancient practices may still play a part in causing earworms today. 英语试卷 九年级 第5页共8页 What songs become earworms depends on personal experiences.Although earworms are not harmful, they can be annoying. 19Here are some methods to consider: Listen to the whole song Earworms are often just a small part of a song.Some peoplc firid that listening to the whole song can please the brain and stop the short fune from playing again and again in their heads.
