精品解析：江苏省常州市实验初级中学2025-2026学年九年级下学期3月英语阶段学情自测

英语学科九年级新课结束考试 2026.3 注意事项：1、本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。 试卷满分为90分，考试时间为100分钟。 2、请将答案全部填写在答题纸相应的位置上，在本试卷上答题无效。 一、单项选择（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 1. —Listen! There’s someone knocking on the door. —________ must be that naughty boy. A. He B. This C. It D. That 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——听！有人在敲门。——一定是那个调皮的男孩。   He他；This这个；It它；That那个。在英语中，当指代身份不明的人或事物时，常用it作主语，构成“It must be...”句型，表示推测“一定是……”。应填It。 2. My African friend often complains ________ me ________ the cold weather in winter here. A. to; about B. of; with C. to; with D. of; about 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的非洲朋友经常向我抱怨这里冬天的寒冷天气。 句中核心动词是complain，第一空后接人称代词me，第二空后接the cold weather，符合固定搭配“complain to sb. about sth.”，意思是“向某人抱怨某事”。 3. It’s said that ________ of the water around the world ________ polluted. A. two third; is B. two thirds; is C. two thirds; are D. two thirds; has 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：据说全世界三分之二水是被污染的。 分数表达中，分子用基数词，分母用序数词，分子大于 1 时分母加s，故“三分之二”表达为two thirds，排除A；当“分数 +of+ 名词”作主语时，谓语动词与of后的名词保持一致，water是不可数名词，谓语用单数is，且此处为被动语态，不能用has，排除C、D。故选B。 4. —We can buy a new car this year or we can go on holiday, but we can’t do ________. —That’s true. It’s an either-or situation. A. all B. either C. neither D. both 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们今年可以买一辆新车，也可以去度假，但我们不能两者都做。——确实是这样。这是一个二选一的情况。 all（三者及以上）都；either两者之一；neither两者都不；both两者都。根据“It’s an either-or situation.”可知，这是一个二选一的情况，即不能同时选择两个选项，所以“我们”不能两者都做，此处应用both，与前面的can’t构成否定，表示“不能两者都……”。 5. —________ do you think you should check the oil? —About every 5,000 km. A. How far B. How long C. How much D. How often 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你认为你应该多久检查一次机油？——大约每5000公里。 How far多远，询问距离；How long多长时间，询问时长；How much多少，询问数量或价格；How often多久一次，询问频率。根据答句“About every 5,000 km.”可知，前句是询问检查机油的“频率”，应填How often。 6. —Another rainy day! The radio says it’ll be fine the day after tomorrow. —________. Otherwise, the sports meeting won’t begin as planned. A. I hope so B. I hope not C. I don’t think so D. I think so 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——又是个雨天！收音机说后天会放晴。——我希望如此。否则，运动会就不能按计划开始了。 I hope so我希望如此；I hope not我不希望这样；I don’t think so我不这么认为；I think so我这么认为。根据后句“Otherwise, the sports meeting won’t begin as planned.”可知，此处表示希望天气能放晴，应填I hope so。 7. — What can I do for you? — Please provide us with some information of the children ________ we can use for writing A. how B. which C. what D. who 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我能为你做什么呢？——请给我们提供一些孩子们的信息，以便我们写作时可以使用。 how如何；which哪一个；what什么；who谁。分析句子可知，本句是定语从句，先行词是“information”指物，引导词在从句中作宾语，所以用which来引导，应填which。 8. You ________ pay for the CD because it is a gift for you. A. mustn’t B. needn’t C. can’t D. shouldn’t 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：你不必为这张CD付钱，因为它是给你的礼物。 mustn’t禁止；needn’t不必；can’t不能；shouldn’t不应该。根据“because it is a gift for you”可知，因为是给你的礼物，所以不必付钱，此处应用needn’t表示“不必”。 9. Could I ask you a few questions, sir? It won’t ________ much of your time. A. put up B. make up C. look up D. take up 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：先生，我能问你几个问题吗？这不会占用你太多时间。   put up张贴、搭建、忍受；make up编造、组成、化妆；look up查阅、抬头看；take up占用时间或空间。根据“It won’t ________ much of your time”可知，此处表示“占用时间”，应填take up。 10. In the UK, a woman usually doesn’t like to be asked ____________. A. whether she had been married B. what is her age C. how much she weighs D. where she comes from 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：在英国，一个女人通常不喜欢被问她的体重。 考查宾语从句的用法。A.是否她已经结婚； B.她的年龄C.她的体重；D.她来自哪里。宾语从句的语序应该是陈述语序，所以B不正确，如果写成what her age is就对了；A的过去完成时态不符合语境；结合语法和常识，故选C。 二、完形填空（共12题，每小题1分，共12分） My husband Sajan is an Indian with a vegetarian tradition. Since I met him, I’ve been a vegetarian, too. Getting older, I wonder if I ignored (忽略) my parents’ ____11____. After all, they ____12____ meals where meat is the centerpiece (核心).

And I don’t. My mom still makes my favorite cookies. But because I’ve been away from home for so long, I’ve been used to lots of new foods, and Indian food has become my food. I always guessed that she felt hurt by that, but talking to her, I ____22____ I was wrong. Love can be shown through food in different ways.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者因丈夫的素食传统而成为素食者，但父母却有着以肉食为核心的饮食传统。每次回家，母亲都会提前为作者夫妇准备素食，尽管自己并不喜欢。作者通过一次坦诚的对话，理解了母亲的爱与付出，也意识到爱可以通过不同的食物形式来表达，关键在于为所爱之人的选择留出空间。 【11题详解】 句意：随着年岁增长，我想知道是否忽略了父母的传统。   根据上文“My husband Sajan is an Indian with a vegetarian tradition.”以及后文父母以肉食为核心的传统，可知作者担心自己忽略了父母的饮食传统，traditions“传统”，符合语境。talents才能；orders命令；efforts努力，均不符合语境。 【12题详解】 句意：毕竟，他们喜欢以肉食为核心的饭菜。   此处指父母他们喜欢以肉食为核心的饭菜，care for“照顾、喜欢”，符合语境。care about关心；take care小心；care of由……照顾。 【13题详解】 句意：每次我和Sajan回家，妈妈在我们到达前几周就开始计划我们的饭菜。   根据“weeks before we arrive”可知，母亲提前几周就开始计划准备，planning“计划”，符合逻辑。cooking烹饪；serving服务；lasting持续，均逻辑不符。 【14题详解】 句意：她研究新的素食菜肴，并储备豆子和酸奶，尽管她自己并不喜欢这两样。   根据上下文，作者夫妇是素食者，母亲为他们准备的是素食菜肴，vegetarian“素食的”，符合语境。side旁边的；meat肉的；local当地的，均不符合语境。 【15题详解】 句意：她研究新的素食菜肴，并储备豆子和酸奶，尽管她自己并不喜欢这两样。   根据though表示转折，可知母亲虽然储备豆子和酸奶，但她本人并不喜欢，dislikes“不喜欢”，符合逻辑。recommends推荐；considers考虑；loses失去，均逻辑不符。 【16题详解】 句意：所以很多时候，尽管我们都一起坐在餐桌旁，我们吃的却是不同的饭菜。   根据“at the table together”可知是一起坐在餐桌旁，sitting“坐”，符合逻辑。standing站立；lying躺；holding撑住，均逻辑不符。 【17题详解】 句意：所以很多时候，尽管我们都一起坐在餐桌旁，我们吃的却是不同的饭菜。   作者夫妇吃素食，而父母吃以肉食为主的饭菜，所以是不同的饭菜，different“不同的”，符合题意。healthy健康的；delicious美味的；heavy重的，均不符合题意。 【18题详解】 句意：我从未真正和母亲谈过我们关系中这种关于食物的矛盾。   根据后文作者主动询问母亲，可知此前并未谈过此事。talk with sb. about sth.表示“与某人谈论某事”，talked“交谈”，符合此搭配。agreed同意；met遇见；quarreled争吵，均不符合题意。 【19题详解】 句意：但今年夏初，我终于问了她这件事。   根据前文“从未真正谈过”以及后文主动询问，可知作者最终开口了，finally“最终”，符合逻辑。quickly快速地；gradually逐渐地；regularly定期地，均逻辑不符。故选D。 【20题详解】 句意：“为你做饭有时是一种挑战，”她回答道。   根据前文母亲自己不喜欢豆子和酸奶，却要为女儿准备素食，可知这对她来说是一种挑战，challenge“挑战”，符合语境。adventure冒险；pleasure愉悦；blessing幸事，均不符合语境。 【21题详解】 句意：“但对我们来说，尊重你和Sajan的印度素食饮食习惯很重要。”   母亲虽然感到做饭有挑战，但仍认为尊重他们的饮食习惯很重要，respect“尊重”，符合逻辑。change改变；balance平衡；follow跟随，均不符合逻辑。 22题详解】 句意：我原以为她会因此感到受伤，但和她交谈后，我意识到我错了。   通过对话，作者认识到自己先前的猜测是错误的，realized“意识到”，符合语境。forgot忘记；hoped希望；expected期待，均逻辑不符。 三、阅读理解（共14小题；每小题2分，满分28分） A Have you ever wondered why we say maidongxi (买东西) instead of mainanbei, shangcesuo (上厕所) instead of xiacesuo, and yijianxiangzuo (意见相左) instead of yijianxiangyou? Many Chinese words have directions in them, and there is lots of history and culture hidden behind. East or West When going shopping, Chinese people say maidongxi instead of mainanbei. A theory says that in the Tang Dynasty, there were two popular markets in Chang’an, the national capital at the time. One was called the East Market, and the other was called the West Market. When shopping, people usually went to the East Market first, and then went to the West Market. As time went by, people started to describe shopping as maidongxi. Up or down We use shangcesuo to mean “go to the bathroom” and xiachufang to mean “go to the kitchen”. Why? In ancient times, houses were laid out (布局) in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part. On maps, north is usually at the top while south is at the bottom. In Chinese, we talk about the north as shang and the south as xia. So people would say they’re going up to the bathroom-and down to the kitchen. Ancient Chinese not only used shang and xia to refer to (指代) directions but also social positions. For example, people used huangshang to refer to the emperor and dianxia to refer to princes who had a lower position than the emperor. Left or right Most people today are right-handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in ancient China, “left” was related to (与……有关联) being different, such as in yijianxiangzuo. If people don’t accept common beliefs (信念), we still say they are following ________. When shaking hands, it’s important to know which hand to use. In most cultures, the right hand is generally used for a handshake. For example, in some countries, such as India and Nepal, the left hand is considered unclean. However, if you are in a culture where the left hand is used, you’d better do as the locals do. “Left” and “right” also have something to do with people’s social position. For a long time in ancient China, “right” stood for higher position than “left”. For example, the character “佑”, developed from “右”, means a person in a higher position would protect someone in a lower position. 23. Which of the following Chinese expressions can be used as an example in “Where to buy things? A. 东市买骏马，西市买鞍鞯 B. 东边日出西边雨 C. 青山横北郭，白水绕东城 D. 任尔东西南北风 24. Which picture shows the layout (布局) of houses in ancient China according to the passage? gate bathroom kitchen A. B. C. D. 25. Which of the following can be best put in ________? A. qishangbaxia B. shangcuanxiatiao C. pangmenzuodao D. zuosiyouxiang 【答案】23. A 24. B 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章通过解释“买东西”、“上厕所”、“意见相左”等中文词汇中包含方向词的原因，介绍了中文词汇里隐藏的历史和文化，包括东西方向与购物场所的关联、上下方向与房屋布局及社会地位的关联、左右方向与不同观念及社会地位的关联。 【23题详解】 文章“East or West”部分提到“in the Tang Dynasty, there were two popular markets in Chang’an…One was called the East Market, and the other was called the West Market. When shopping, people usually went to the East Market first, and then went to the West Market.”，“东市买骏马，西市买鞍鞯”正是分别在东市和西市购买物品，符合“买东西”这一表达的来源。 【24题详解】 文章“Up or down”部分说明“In ancient times, houses were laid out in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part.”，因此正确的房屋布局应呈现门朝南、浴室位于东北、厨房位于东南。 【25题详解】 文章“Left or right”部分指出“in ancient China, ‘left’ was related to being different, such as in yijianxiangzuo.”，随后说“If people don’t accept common beliefs, we still say they are following ________.”，此处应填入与“左”相关且表示偏离正统的成语。“旁门左道”（pangmenzuodao）意为非正统的途径，符合语境。 B Daddy, look up at the sky! What are those? They look like rabbits. Or are they flowers? Or trees? No, they are all clouds. Let’s do an experiment to make our own cloud! Materials ◇A wide glass jar with a lid ◇Very hot water ◇Some ice ◇A match Very important! Only parents deal with matches!!! Steps 1. Turn the lid upside down and fill it with ice. 2.

A website. 【答案】26. C 27. A 28. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了和父母一起通过实验来制作云的过程，包括所需材料、重要提示、具体步骤以及实验结果。 【26题详解】 在“Very important!”部分明确提到“Only parents deal with matches!!!”，说明做这个实验使用火柴时，父母帮忙是非常重要的。 【27题详解】 步骤“Ask your parent to light a match. Then blow out the match just above the jar. Hold the smoking stick inside. (You want smoke from the match to fill the jar.)”表明，要让冒烟的火柴棒在罐子里，也就是不要把冒烟的火柴棒从罐子里拿出来。 【28题详解】 文章主要介绍了一个制作云实验，包含材料、步骤等内容，这属于科学范畴，所以这篇文章可能来自科学杂志。 C ①Ravi the teacher was very tired after a long, hard day at school. ②He walked towards his house. Just then, Ravi felt something uncomfortable in his throat. He coughed and coughed, and something came out of his mouth—it was a heron’s (苍鹭) feather! ③“How strange!” he thought. “How did it get in my throat?” ④When he got home, he told his wife about it. His wife agreed that this was very strange. She also promised she wouldn’t say a word. Or her husband would be the talk of the town! ⑤When she went outside, their neighbour waved, “Have you heard any news today?” ⑥“My husband was walking home and...you won’t believe it...some heron feathers came out of his mouth! But you must promise not to tell anyone!” replied the teacher’s wife. ⑦The neighbour then went to the shop to buy some vegetables. He told the shopkeeper who loved to gossip (说三道四) all about what was going on in the town. ⑧“You know what,” said the neighbour, “Ravi the schoolteacher was giving a lesson today...and a whole heron suddenly came out of his mouth. ________” ⑨Then the cook came into the shop. “Did you hear about that?” the shopkeeper said in a low voice, “Ravi the schoolteacher was buying pencils in the village shop—and suddenly a lot of herons flew out of his mouth! Shh, don’t tell others!” ⑩The shopkeeper’s little boy heard this. He ran outside to tell his friends. Soon, the rumors (谣言) had spread throughout the town! When Ravi walked into the classroom the next morning, all his pupils were looking at him quietly—it was very unusual! Even more strangely, their parents were looking at him through the windows too. “Why are you all looking at me like that?” he asked. “We heard that yesterday a heron flew out of your mouth, and some other kinds of birds too. And a river of water with fish of all kinds in it! We want to see you do it again!” A boy spoke up. Ravi sighed (叹气) and put his books on the desk. “Today’s lesson is a very important one!” he said. “I think you all need to learn it!” 29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Ravi coughed and he might be badly ill. B. Ravi had a strange feeling about his wife. C. A long school day made Ravi uncomfortable. D. A heron’s feather came out of Ravi’s mouth. 30 Which can be the best to fill in the blank ________ in Paragraph 8? A. But it is true. B. But he was tired. C. But everyone laughed. D. But it’s a secret. 31. In which order did the rumors develop? A. ③①②④ B. ③④①② C. ①③②④ D. ①④③② 32. What lesson did Ravi want everyone to learn? A. It’s necessary to have classes with a clear mind. B. It’s very silly to gossip and believe rumors. C. We should take action to stop hurting others. D. We need to be good friends with all animals. 【答案】29. D 30. D 31. A 32. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇寓言故事，讲述了教师Ravi咳出一根苍鹭羽毛后，妻子、邻居、店主等人在传播过程中不断添油加醋，最终谣言演变成“一群鸟从他嘴里飞出，还有一条鱼河”，揭示了谣言传播的荒诞性及其危害。 【29题详解】 第四段句子“When he got home, he told his wife about it.”及前文第三段句子Ravi自问“How did it get in my throat?”和第二段的描述“something came out of his mouth—it was a heron’s feather!”可看出，it指代的是“一根苍鹭羽毛从Ravi嘴里出来”这件事。 【30题详解】 从第八段邻居对店主的转述可看出，他已将“羽毛”夸大成了“整只苍鹭”；结合第九段店主进一步夸大为“许多苍鹭飞出嘴里”，以及后文强调“Ssh, don’t tell others!”可看出，邻居在转述时也要求对方保密。空白处填入“But it’s a secret.”既符合传播谣言时“叮嘱保密”的口吻，也与上下文“不要告诉别人”的线索呼应。 【31题详解】 第二段句子“some heron feathers came out of his mouth!”为故事发展的开始，他嘴里吐出了一些苍鹭的羽毛，对应图③；第八段句子“a whole heron suddenly came out of his mouth”为故事发展到第二步，他嘴里蹦出了一整只苍鹭，对应图①；第九段句子“suddenly a lot of herons flew out of his mouth!”，故事发展到第三步，从他嘴里飞出了许多苍鹭，对应图②；第十三段句子“We heard that yesterday a heron flew out of your mouth, and some other kinds of birds too. And a river of water with fish of all kinds in it!”，故事发展到第四步，从他嘴里飞出一只苍鹭，还有一些其他种类的鸟，还有一条河里有各种各样的鱼，对应图④。所以故事发展顺序为③①②④。 【32题详解】 故事中谣言从“一根羽毛”演变成“一群鸟和一条鱼河”，最终全校学生和家长都来围观，说明谣言在传播中被不断夸大。Ravi叹息后说“今天的课非常重要”，意在让学生明白轻信和传播谣言是愚蠢的行为。 D Have you ever lost yourself in doing something so that you forget the time? Everything around you—from the ringing of phones to the people passing by—seemed to be away. Most of us have had this experience at one time or another. This special state (状态) of mind is called “flow”. When it happens, we completely pay attention to what we are doing. We feel energetic, even excited about what we are doing. For example, when you are drawing, you might forget to eat dinner because you lose yourself in it. ① The idea of flow was introduced and first studied by psychologist (心理学家) Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. According to his discovery, whether flow happens depends on the difficulty of the challenge and our skill levels. For example, if the task is not very challenging and doesn’t require a lot of skills, we probably feel bored towards it. But facing a challenging task without the required skills could easily cause worry. He finally drew the conclusion that when the challenge is difficult and we believe we have enough skills, flow happens. ② What advantages does flow bring? During flow, people can work faster and better. For example, artists said that they could produce more works easily “without putting in much effort” in the flow state. Flow can also make people more curious and creative because they have to look for new challenges and information to keep the state. ③ Flow often happens during creative activities and sports activities. But flow states aren’t just something experienced by artists, writers or sports persons. Flow can happen anytime a person is deeply lost in a task, including during learning activities. Many people want to achieve flow more often in their daily lives. While doing a task, having clear plans, adding something challenging and giving and receiving feedback (反馈) in time can help achieve flow. It’s more difficult to achieve flow if people’s attention is distracted (分散), so it’s necessary that smart phones, TV and other distractions get turned off. ④ 33. When people are in flow, they CAN’T ________. A. forget the time B. hear the ringing of phones C. give full attention to their tasks D. feel excited about what they do 34. Where can the sentence “With flow, people have greater levels of happiness and satisfaction in their activities.” be put in the passage? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 35. Who can most probably achieve flow according to the passage? A. A runner who wants to win the first prize in an important race. B. An artist who is drawing an apple for his 10-year-old daughter C. A chess player who doesn’t know what to do before competitions. D. A student who is taking an exam when having a headache. 36. What is the passage mainly about? A. The early study on flow. B. The advantages of flow. C. The requirements for flow. D. The introduction to flow. 【答案】33. B 34. C 35. A 36. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了“心流”这一特殊心理状态，包括其定义、产生条件、优势以及如何实现心流等内容。 【33题详解】 文章第二段提到“Everything around you—from the ringing of phones to the people passing by—seemed to be away.”，说明当人们处于心流状态时，周围的一切，包括电话铃声等，好像都不存在了，A选项“忘记时间”、C选项“全神贯注于任务”、D选项“对他们所做的事感到兴奋”在文中均有体现，所以当人们处于心流状态时，不能做到的是B选项“听到电话铃声”。 【34题详解】 “With flow, people have greater levels of happiness and satisfaction in their activities.”这句话表达的是心流能给人们带来更高的幸福感和满足感。文章第四段主要讲述了心流带来的优势，如“During flow, people can work faster and better.”以及“Flow can also make people more curious and creative...”，该句放在此处能进一步说明心流的优势，所以应放在③处。 【35题详解】 文章第三段提到“He finally drew the conclusion that when the challenge is difficult and we believe we have enough skills, flow happens.”，即当挑战困难且我们相信自己有足够技能时，心流就会发生。A选项中“想要在重要比赛中赢得一等奖的跑步者”，面临困难挑战且相信自己有技能，最有可能达到心流状态。 【36题详解】 文章开篇引出“心流”这一概念，接着介绍了心流的产生条件、优势以及如何实现心流等内容，是对“心流”的全面介绍。 四、信息还原（共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Do you know how AI or artificial intelligence is changing our daily life?

Bad breath is caused by some germs (细菌) that grow in the mouth. When you don’t brush in a proper way, germs will live in your mouth and between your teeth and make your breath smell bad. Certain foods, especially ones like garlic and onions can cause bad breath. Smoking is also an important cause of bad breath. Some people say that mouthwash (漱口水) will make bad breath go away, but it isn’t true. Mouthwash only stops bad breath for a short time. Some people also say that if you brush your teeth, you will not have bad breath. The truth is that most people only brush their teeth for 30 to 45 seconds and it just doesn’t work. To clean all of your teeth, you should brush for at least 2 minutes and at least twice a day. Remember to brush your tongue, too—bacteria love to stay there. If you do brush properly, but your bad breath still exists, visit your dentist for regular cleanings. You may have a medical problem like gum disease. If you don’t want to have bad breath, make sure you’re taking care of your teeth and mouth well. 51. What things can cause bad breath according to the passage?

Many Chinese words have directions in them, and there is lots of history and culture hidden behind. East or West When going shopping, Chinese people say maidongxi instead of mainanbei. A theory says that in the Tang Dynasty, there were two popular markets in Chang’an, the national capital at the time. One was called the East Market, and the other was called the West Market. When shopping, people usually went to the East Market first, and then went to the West Market. As time went by, people started to describe shopping as maidongxi. Up or down We use shangcesuo to mean “go to the bathroom” and xiachufang to mean “go to the kitchen”. Why? In ancient times, houses were laid out (布局) in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part. On maps, north is usually at the top while south is at the bottom. In Chinese, we talk about the north as shang and the south as xia. So people would say they’re going up to the bathroom-and down to the kitchen. Ancient Chinese not only used shang and xia to refer to (指代) directions but also social positions. For example, people used huangshang to refer to the emperor and dianxia to refer to princes who had a lower position than the emperor. Left or right Most people today are right-handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in ancient China, “left” was related to (与……有关联) being different, such as in yijianxiangzuo. If people don’t accept common beliefs (信念), we still say they are following ________. When shaking hands, it’s important to know which hand to use. In most cultures, the right hand is generally used for a handshake. For example, in some countries, such as India and Nepal, the left hand is considered unclean. However, if you are in a culture where the left hand is used, you’d better do as the locals do. “Left” and “right” also have something to do with people’s social position. For a long time in ancient China, “right” stood for higher position than “left”. For example, the character “佑”, developed from “右”, means a person in a higher position would protect someone in a lower position. 23. Which of the following Chinese expressions can be used as an example in “Where to buy things? A. 东市买骏马，西市买鞍鞯 B. 东边日出西边雨 C. 青山横北郭，白水绕东城 D. 任尔东西南北风 24. Which picture shows the layout (布局) of houses in ancient China according to the passage? gate bathroom kitchen A. B. C. D. 25. Which of the following can be best put in ________? A. qishangbaxia B. shangcuanxiatiao C. pangmenzuodao D. zuosiyouxiang B Daddy, look up at the sky! What are those? They look like rabbits. Or are they flowers? Or trees? No, they are all clouds.

His wife agreed that this was very strange. She also promised she wouldn’t say a word. Or her husband would be the talk of the town! ⑤When she went outside, their neighbour waved, “Have you heard any news today?” ⑥“My husband was walking home and...you won’t believe it...some heron feathers came out of his mouth! But you must promise not to tell anyone!” replied the teacher’s wife. ⑦The neighbour then went to the shop to buy some vegetables. He told the shopkeeper who loved to gossip (说三道四) all about what was going on in the town. ⑧“You know what,” said the neighbour, “Ravi the schoolteacher was giving a lesson today...and a whole heron suddenly came out of his mouth. ________” ⑨Then the cook came into the shop. “Did you hear about that?” the shopkeeper said in a low voice, “Ravi the schoolteacher was buying pencils in the village shop—and suddenly a lot of herons flew out of his mouth! Shh, don’t tell others!” ⑩The shopkeeper’s little boy heard this. He ran outside to tell his friends. Soon, the rumors (谣言) had spread throughout the town! When Ravi walked into the classroom the next morning, all his pupils were looking at him quietly—it was very unusual! Even more strangely, their parents were looking at him through the windows too. “Why are you all looking at me like that?” he asked. “We heard that yesterday a heron flew out of your mouth, and some other kinds of birds too. And a river of water with fish of all kinds in it! We want to see you do it again!” A boy spoke up. Ravi sighed (叹气) and put his books on the desk. “Today’s lesson is a very important one!” he said. “I think you all need to learn it!” 29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

We should take action to stop hurting others. D. We need to be good friends with all animals. D Have you ever lost yourself in doing something so that you forget the time? Everything around you—from the ringing of phones to the people passing by—seemed to be away. Most of us have had this experience at one time or another. This special state (状态) of mind is called “flow”. When it happens, we completely pay attention to what we are doing. We feel energetic, even excited about what we are doing. For example, when you are drawing, you might forget to eat dinner because you lose yourself in it. ① The idea of flow was introduced and first studied by psychologist (心理学家) Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. According to his discovery, whether flow happens depends on the difficulty of the challenge and our skill levels. For example, if the task is not very challenging and doesn’t require a lot of skills, we probably feel bored towards it. But facing a challenging task without the required skills could easily cause worry. He finally drew the conclusion that when the challenge is difficult and we believe we have enough skills, flow happens. ② What advantages does flow bring? During flow, people can work faster and better. For example, artists said that they could produce more works easily “without putting in much effort” in the flow state. Flow can also make people more curious and creative because they have to look for new challenges and information to keep the state. ③ Flow often happens during creative activities and sports activities. But flow states aren’t just something experienced by artists, writers or sports persons. Flow can happen anytime a person is deeply lost in a task, including during learning activities. Many people want to achieve flow more often in their daily lives. While doing a task, having clear plans, adding something challenging and giving and receiving feedback (反馈) in time can help achieve flow. It’s more difficult to achieve flow if people’s attention is distracted (分散), so it’s necessary that smart phones, TV and other distractions get turned off. ④ 33. When people are in flow, they CAN’T ________. A. forget the time B. hear the ringing of phones C. give full attention to their tasks D. feel excited about what they do 34. Where can the sentence “With flow, people have greater levels of happiness and satisfaction in their activities.” be put in the passage? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 35. Who can most probably achieve flow according to the passage? A. A runner who wants to win the first prize in an important race. B. An artist who is drawing an apple for his 10-year-old daughter C. A chess player who doesn’t know what to do before competitions. D. A student who is taking an exam when having a headache. 36. What is the passage mainly about? A. The early study on flow. B. The advantages of flow. C. The requirements for flow. D. The introduction to flow. 四、信息还原（共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Do you know how AI or artificial intelligence is changing our daily life?
