I had prepared for weeks, solving hundreds of problems. I was confident that I would get in. But when the results came out, my name was not there. I felt crushed. I thought, “I’m just not smart enough.” For a whole week, I refused to look at any math problem. I even avoided talking to my math teacher. Then one day, my best friend Chen Wei showed me his own notebook. He had also failed the tryout. But instead of giving up, he had written down every mistake he made and corrected them with different colors. “Mistakes are not the end,” he said. “They are clues to what we need to learn.” His words woke me up. I asked my teacher to go over my test paper with me. She pointed out that I was weak in geometry and often rushed through word problems. So I made a plan: practice geometry for 20 minutes every day, and always read word problems twice. Three months later, I tried out again. This time, I made the team. But more importantly, I learned that failure is not a reflection of who I am—it is a stepping stone to who I can become. 14．How did the writer feel after failing the first tryout? A．He wanted to study harder immediately. B．He felt hopeless and avoided math. C．He asked his teacher for help right away. D．He decided to join another club. 15．What did the writer do to improve before the second tryout? A．He only solved easy problems. B．He practiced geometry daily and read word problems twice. C．He asked his friend to take the test for him. D．He stopped doing math completely. 16．What does the writer mean by “failure is a stepping stone to who I can become”? A．Failure means you will never succeed. B．Failure is something to be hidden from others. C．Only successful people never fail. D．Failure is a necessary part of growth and improvement. 【答案】14．B 15．B 16．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在参加数学竞赛选拔失败后，在同学陈伟的鼓励下，重新振作起来，制定学习计划，每天练习几何20分钟，并再次参加选拔，最终成功入选的故事。 14．根据第二段“I felt crushed. I thought, ‘I’m just not smart enough.’ For a whole week, I refused to look at any math problem. I even avoided talking to my math teacher.”可知，作者第一次选拔失败后，感觉崩溃，认为自己不够聪明，整整一周都不愿意碰数学题，甚至避开数学老师，符合B选项“他感到绝望，并且逃避数学”的描述。 15．根据第四段“So I made a plan: practice geometry for 20 minutes every day, and always read word problems twice.”可知，作者制定了一个计划：每天练习20分钟的几何，并且总是把文字题读两遍。 16．根据最后一段“But more importantly, I learned that failure is not a reflection of who I am—it is a stepping stone to who I can become.”并结合作者从失败中发现问题、改正不足最终成功的经历可知，这句话想表达的感悟是：失败是成长和提升的必要部分，对应D选项。 C （25-26九年级下·江苏南京·月考）Have you ever wondered what else you can do on the train besides sleeping or scrolling through your phone? Actually, in China, trains have turned into centres which bring together the public and the nation’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH, 非物质文化遗产). Trains go across China and they are becoming ideal places for introducing local traditional culture. A good example is the K7041 train from Harbin to Mohe in Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province. On the ICH train, Gulayier, dressed in traditional clothes, sang Oroqen folk songs (鄂伦春民歌) and his partner played the Oroqen jaw harp, a musical instrument. Tourists on the train, especially those from southern China, sang and danced excitedly with the two performers together. Gulayier said the train made it easier to hold tourists’ attention to his shows. He thought the train was a good platform for promoting (促进) ICH. Traditional heritage comes to life on trains. More ICH such as Qinhuai lanterns from Nanjing, Yulin puppet shows, and tea-picking operas in Guangxi have also made appearances on high-speed trains across China. It offers passengers a close-up way to experience traditional culture. Professor Xiao Fang from Beijing Normal University shares Gulayier’s opinion on the new use of ICH trains. He has pointed out another advantage of this. Beyond cultural promotion, it offers help for tourism. When passengers enjoy local traditions on board, they often develop a deeper interest in exploring the places they pass through. However, the ICH train journeys still have challenges, including the narrow space on trains and passengers getting on and off at each station. Therefore, some solutions are coming up — cultural corners show traditional arts, and QR codes connect to more digital information. These help passengers to explore ICH at their own pace and continue learning after their journey ends. The success of ICH trains offers valuable lessons for cultural protection worldwide, proving that innovation (革新) and tradition can work together to keep cultural heritage alive for future generations. 17．What is the fresh experience for passengers on the K7041 train? A．Travelling farther north. B．Wearing traditional clothes. C．Joining in live shows. D．Having fun on the phone. 18．What do Gulayier and Professor Xiao both agree on? A．ICH encourages more local visits. B．Trains help make ICH more popular. C．ICH improves the Chinese train journeys. D．Passengers welcome performers on ICH trains. 19．What does Paragraph 5 mention about the ICH train journeys? A．Their features and influence. B．Their reasons and results. C．Their problems and methods. D．Their future and improvement. 20．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Trains push China’s cultural heritage further B．China puts arms around local artists on ICH trains C．More ICH trains begin running on railways in China D．Train passengers share different local cultures of China 【答案】17．C 18．B 19．C 20．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍中国列车成为传播非物质文化遗产的新平台，带来全新体验并面临挑战。 17．根据第二段内容，非遗表演者在该列车上进行现场演出，乘客可一同参与歌舞，因此新鲜体验是加入现场演出。 18．第二段中Gulayier提出：“He thought the train was a good platform for promoting (促进) ICH.”，第四段提出：“Beyond cultural promotion, it offers help for tourism.”，说明两人均认为火车有助于推广非遗，即让非遗更受欢迎。 19．第五段提出：“However, the ICH train journeys still have challenges...Therefore, some solutions are coming up...”说明本段先提出挑战，再提出解决方法。 20．文章围绕火车成为非遗推广的新平台展开，点明这种创新模式助力中国非遗文化的传播与保护，A选项“Trains push China’s cultural heritage further”符合文章核心主旨。 C （2025·江苏南京·模拟预测）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 (植入) 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 (意识). 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. 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 turn 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 off—and their brain performance got worse. Gina Arata, a patient who took part in the trial, said, “I can remember how much 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. 21．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. 22．What does the word “It” refer to in Paragraph 2? A．The research team. B．The serious brain injury. C．The use of DBS device. D．The chemical signal between neurons. 23．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. 24．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．a-b-c-e-d B．a-b-d-e-c C．b-c-e-a-d D．b-e-c-a-d 25．Which is the best title for this article? 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．A New Discovery of A Cure For All Brain Injuries 【答案】21．A 22．C 23．B 24．C 25．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种用于治疗严重长期脑损伤的深部脑刺激DBS设备的临床试验：包括试验对象、设备原理、试验过程与结果，以及该设备的意义——科学家希望它能改变更多严重脑损伤患者的生活。 21．细节理解题。根据“They all had problems which were related to mental activities like thinking or reasoning after having serious brain injuries for 3 years or more.”可知，他们都在遭受严重脑损伤三年或更久后，出现了与思考、推理等心智活动相关的问题。故选A。 22．词句猜测题。根据“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 to it.”可知，该试验首次将深部脑刺激DBS聚焦于大脑中负责处理意识的区域。这一做法帮助人们感知周围的事物，并能够对其作出反应，因此此处it指代DBS设备的使用。故选C。 23．细节理解题。根据“They also reported feeling less tired and could get through the day without napping.”可知，他们还反馈说自己没那么容易累了，并且能够一整天不午睡也撑得下来，B项表达错误。故选B。 24．细节理解题。根据“doctors implanted a tiny device into each patient’s brain during an operation...the patients in the study had them turned on for 90 days, for 12 hours a day...They could suddenly do things, like reading a book or playing video games...After 90 days, researchers wanted to turn off some of the patients’ devices...Two people were so happy with the difference the device made in their lives that they refused.”可知，医生在手术中为每位患者的大脑植入了一个微型装置；参与研究的患者将这些装置开启了90天，每天开启12小时；他们突然能够做到一些原本因脑损伤而无法完成的事，比如看书或玩电子游戏；90天后，研究人员想要关闭部分患者的装置；有两名患者对装置给他们生活带来的改变感到非常满意，因此拒绝了关闭装置的要求，对应b-c-e-a-d。故选C。 25．最佳标题题。根据文章可知，本章围绕治疗严重脑损伤的DBS设备临床试验展开，包括试验对象、原理、过程、结果及意义，因此文章标题应为A New Device for Patients with Brain Injuries。故选C。 三、任务型阅读 (共10小题，满分10分) （25-26八年级下·江苏南京·月考）根据所读内容，在文章后的空格里填入恰当的内容。（26—33题每空一词；34题词数不限。） In Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, the Twelve Hours of Chang’an is a cultural street with a Tang Dynasty theme, which shows a clear and lifelike picture of Tang Dynasty (618—907) city life.

There are also robot guides in Tang costumes, helping visitors find their way around the block and joining them in fun poetry games. According to Zou Linfeng, chairman of Shaanxi Cultural Tourism Co, the block makes great efforts to put together traditional culture and modern technology. Last year, the city received 278 million tourist visits, up 33.1% year-on-year.

Many of them have a long history, and are believed to share similarities with modern sports. One sport that dates back to the Warring States period is Cuju. It was originally 35 (develop) for military training. By the Han Dynasty, it had become 36 (wide) welcomed and highly skillful. Even emperors at that time were Cuju fans, who not only liked watching Cuju games, but also practised their footwork on the playground. In Cuju games, two teams of six players competed to score goals by 37 (kick) a ball into the net—does that sound familiar? In 2004, FIFA recognized Cuju as the earliest form of soccer, which made Chinese people 38 (pride). During the Song Dynasty, the competitive goal-scoring style turned into a performance that focused on skills. And at that time, even women and children enjoyed 39 (play) Cuju, which we can see from some paintings, reflecting the popularity of Cuju as a form of amusement in China’s history. 【答案】35．developed 36．widely 37．kicking 38．proud 39．playing 【导语】本文介绍了中国古代足球运动“蹴鞠”的发展历史，从战国时期的军事训练，到汉代的广泛流行，再到宋代转变为技巧表演，并被FIFA认可为足球的最早形式。 35．句意：它最初是为了军事训练而发展起来的。根据“was originally”和“for military training”可知，动词develop与主语It构成被动关系，本句是一般过去时的被动语态，结构为was+过去分词，故用过去分词developed。 36．句意：到了汉代，它已经广泛受到欢迎并且技术高超。修饰形容词welcomed需用副词，wide的副词形式为widely。 37．句意：在蹴鞠比赛中，每队六名球员通过将球踢进网来得分。介词by后接动名词，kick的动名词为kicking。 38．句意：2004年，国际足联认定蹴鞠是足球的最早雏形，这让中国人倍感自豪。make sb.+形容词“让某人……”，pride的形容词形式为proud“感到自豪的”。 39．句意：即使在那个时候，妇女和儿童也喜欢玩蹴鞠。enjoy doing sth.为固定搭配，play的动名词为playing。 组合练二（完形填空1篇+阅读理解4篇+阅读填空1篇+首字母填空） 一、完形填空 (共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) （25-26九年级上·江苏南京·月考）Life Is Beautiful is an Italian movie that tells a powerful story about a father’s love during World WarⅡ.

Guido often tells his son Giosuè, “Life is a 2 ! If you smile and play fair, you’ll always win!” When World War II begins, they are 3 to head to a camp (集中营). Guido knows the camp is dangerous, 4 he wants to protect his son’s innocence (纯真). He invents a clever story to explain the situation to his son: “This is all part of a big game, Giosuè! The winner’s prize is a REAL tank (坦克)!” He 5 makes up rules for the “game”. Getting points: Giosuè gets points for hiding quietly, 6 the guards, and not crying for candy. Losing points: If the guards see him or if he complains about hunger, he loses points. The big prize: If they earn 1,000 points, they win a tank. In the camp, the prisoners (囚犯) work all day and are really tired. But Guido pretends his tiredness is part of the game. Guido says to his son, “Look how many points we got today!” He also tells him imaginative stories about their “progress” in the game. He describes how close they are to winning the tank, making Giosuè’s eyes shine with 7 . As the war nears its end, Guido hides Giosuè inside a small metal box. 8 , a soldier catches Guido.

I found him talking with a visitor—a large man with a kind, red face and red hair. When I walked in, the visitor stood up quickly to leave. “Please don’t go on my account,” I said. “No, Dr. Watson, please stay,” said Holmes. “This is Dr. James Mortimer. Dr. Mortimer, this is my friend Dr. Watson, who helps me with many cases.” After Dr. Mortimer left, Holmes picked up a walking stick the visitor had forgotten. He smiled and handed it to me. “Well, Watson, look at this stick. What can you tell me about the man who owns it? Let’s hear your ideas before I tell you mine.” I took the stick. It was a good, strong piece of wood. Near the top was a wide silver ring. Words were cut into the silver: “To James Mortimer, from his friends at the hospital. 1884.” I thought for a moment. “It seems Dr. Mortimer is a country doctor,” I said. “He is probably older and successful. His friends gave him this stick years ago, so he must be well-liked.” “Good!” said Holmes. “You see some things. But look closer. Do you see these marks here?” He pointed to some lines on the stick. “They look like...bite marks?” I asked. Exactly! They are teeth marks from a dog. The marks are deep, so the dog had strong jaws—a big dog. But the marks are not very deep all around, so the dog was playing, not fighting. The doctor has a large, friendly dog, I think.” I was surprised. I had not noticed the marks at all. Holmes continued. “Now, the words on the silver ring tell us he got this stick when he finished his studies in 1884. It is now many years later, but the stick is still in good condition. If he walked very long distances every day, the stick would be more worn. So, he is a country doctor who visits patients nearby or uses a horse for long trips.” “What else?” I asked, feeling impressed. “He forgot his stick,” said Holmes. “A man does not forget something he uses every day unless he is thinking very hard about something else. He seemed nervous when he left. I believe he came to ask for my help with a strange and serious problem. He saw you, a stranger, and decided to leave and think about it more.” Just then, the door opened. Dr. Mortimer came back in, looking worried. “I am so sorry,” he said. “I forgot my walking stick.” “Of course,” said Holmes, giving it to him. “I hope your dog is well, Doctor?” Dr. Mortimer’s eyes opened wide. “How did you know about my dog? He is at home today!” “Your stick told me,” said Holmes calmly. “Now, I think you came back not only for the stick, but because you want to talk about your problem. Please, sit down. Tell us your story from the beginning.” Dr. Mortimer sat down and began to tell a strange and frightening story about a family named Baskerville and a mysterious death on the moors—a case that would become one of our most famous adventures together. 14．What was the main clue Holmes used to know about Dr. Mortimer’s dog? A．The date “1884” on the stick. B．The words “from his friends.” C．The bite marks on the walking stick. D．The doctor’s wide silver ring. 15．What did Holmes think about how Dr. Mortimer traveled for work? A．He walked very long distances every day. B．He might use a horse for long visits. C．He only visits patients far away. D．He took a train for a long trip. 16．Why did Holmes think Dr. Mortimer had a serious problem? A．Because Dr. Mortimer looked very rich and had a wide silver ring. B．Because Dr. Mortimer forgot his stick and seemed nervous. C．Because Dr. Mortimer’s stick was bitten by his dog. D．Because Dr. Mortimer’s dog was ill. 17．What is the main purpose of this story? A．To describe how to solve the case. B．To show how Holmes uses observation to learn about people. C．To tell a funny story about Dr. Mortimer and his dog. D．To explain what serious problem a country doctor had. 【答案】14．C 15．B 16．B 17．B 【导语】本文讲述华生拜访福尔摩斯，两人通过一根遗落的手杖推理出主人的诸多信息，展现福尔摩斯超强的观察与推理能力。 14．第九段分析：“They are teeth marks from a dog.

It involves the movement, or transport, of seeds away from the parent plant. Plants disperse (传播) seeds in a variety of ways. Wind, water, animals and even fire help scatter (撒播) plant seeds. Some plants, such as dandelions, have seeds that are small and light. One dandelion can produce up to a hundred seeds. As dandelion seeds are dispersed by the wind, it is likely that some seeds will land in areas in which new plants can grow. A milkweed pod is filled with hundreds of seeds that can waft (飘荡) in the breeze. Both milkweed and dandelion seeds have been known to travel hundreds of miles on a wind current. Some plants, such as peas and violets, use an explosion (爆破) to send their seeds away. As a pea pod dries, it will eventually burst and send seeds flying in every direction. Violets use explosive dispersal as well. When the seeds are ready, the pod will open with a pop, ejecting seeds with surprising force. Many plants that live near water, such as the coconut tree, have seeds that can float and be carried great distances by the water. If dispersed into an ocean, a coconut can even be transported to another continent. Animals help plants disperse seeds in several ways. Some plants, like the burdock, have barbs that can get caught in the fur of animals passing by. An animal may carry the seed to a new location before the seed gets shaken off its fur. Other plants produce seeds inside fruits, such as apples and berries, that get eaten by animals. The seeds pass through the animal’s body and are dropped in other locations. The animal gets a tasty treat, and the plant grows in new places as the seeds are dispersed. Squirrels bury seeds for later. They return to find many, but not all, of the seeds they have stored. It could be said that a squirrel is nature’s gardener, as these seeds often grow into new plants. This is how many oak trees have been planted, as the acorn is one of a squirrel’s favorite treats. Fire is a less common method of seed dispersal. A forest fire can destroy most plants in an area, creating an open space. Seeds designed to take advantage of this space live in cones held together by resin (树脂). The glue-like resin melts at the temperature of a forest fire, allowing the seeds to be released to begin regrowth of the forest. 18．Why do most plants disperse seeds? A．To keep the ocean clean. B．To help new plants grow. C．To satisfy humans’ daily needs. D．To treat animals in the forest. 19．How does the writer introduce the ways seeds are dispersed? A．By showing the steps in order. B．By explaining cause and effect. C．By providing the examples in detail. D．By comparing and noting the differences. 20．What does “a squirrel is nature’s gardener” probably mean? A．Squirrels are born gardeners in nature. B．Squirrels can help people take care of gardens. C．Squirrels like planting acorns instead of eating them. D．Squirrels help disperse seeds because they forget where to find seeds. 21．Which method of seed dispersal is clearly good for both a plant and an animal? A．A coconut seed floats to another continent. B．Milkweed and dandelion seeds are dispersed by the wind. C．A squirrel buries an acorn but does not come back to dig it up. D．An animal eats a fruit and the seeds are taken away to another place. 【答案】18．B 19．C 20．D 21．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了植物传播种子的多种方式，包括风力传播、弹射传播、流水传播以及通过动物（粘附皮毛或被食用）和火灾传播，阐述了种子远离母体对植被生长的重要意义。 18．第二段指出：“…some seeds will land in areas in which new plants can grow.”；第六段提到：“…the plant grows in new places as the seeds are dispersed.”。直接说明了种子传播的根本目的是为了让新植物在不同地方生长。 19．文章通过列举具体的动植物案例来展开论述。第二段提到：“Some plants, such as dandelions…”，第三段提到：“Some plants, such as peas and violets…”，第四段提到：“…such as the coconut tree…”，第五段提到：“Some plants, like the burdock…”，第七段提到：“Squirrels bury seeds…”。作者通过详尽列举这些具体的动植物实例，生动地展示了不同的传播途径。 20．第七段指出：“They return to find many, but not all, of the seeds they have stored…these seeds often grow into new plants.”。说明松鼠因为遗忘了部分埋藏的种子，使得这些种子得以萌发长成新树，这种行为在客观上起到了“园丁”播种的作用。 21．第六段明确指出：“The animal gets a tasty treat, and the plant grows in new places as the seeds are dispersed.”。描述了动物获得了食物，而植物完成了种子的远距离传播，这种互动对双方都有利（双赢）。故选D。 D （25-26九年级上·江苏南京·期末） Music is beauty in sounds. Why not make your own music with the help of AI? Artificial intelligence (AI) can do many different things. From controlling the lights in our homes to helping us order pizzas, it seems there aren’t many more uses for AI than we already have. However, can AI make music like human beings? Thanks to a team of Swiss scientists, AI may soon be able to come up with music especially for us. Researchers at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have created a computer algorithm (算法), the “Deep Artificial Composer” (DAC), which can create original music all by itself. Florian Colombo, an EPFL scientist who helped create the DAC, said that AI could produce complete melodies (旋律), with a beginning and an end. At present, the DAC is only able to produce several pieces of traditional Irish folk music, but it’s hoped that it will be able to create songs based on any type of music in the end. To “teach” the DAC, the scientists trained it to “listen” to over 2,000 different folk songs. Based on this input (输入), the AI taught itself how to compose music, from getting the pitch (音高) and timing right, to choosing the right notes. This process is still in its early stages, with the DAC still not producing perfect results, but Colombo told AFP that the AI’s music is still “quite pleasant to listen to.” While the idea sounds very hopeful, we shouldn’t expect the DAC to replace real-life composers any time soon. According to Colombo, the system was designed to produce only simple melodies. So far, it can only create songs based on a single instrument. Colombo said that his purpose in creating the DAC was to help people create their own music, not to have it made for them. His exciting new ideas came from Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart. It’s said that he used to throw dice (掷骰子) to help him pick which notes to use when making new music. “A good composer with creative ideas will never be replaced by an algorithm.” Colombo told AFP. 22．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By sharing different ideas on AI. B．By explaining the meaning of AI. C．By showing the development of AI. D．By presenting the advantages of AI. 23．Why does Colombo mention Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart? A．To express his respect for Mozart. B．To present his achievement on AI music. C．To praise Mozart’s contribution to music. D．To explain his purpose in creating the DAC． 24．What can we learn about the DAC from the passage? A．The DAC was refused by some composers. B．The DAC can’t be used instead of real-life composers. C．Music creation has to depend on the DAC． D．Scientists are amazed at music made by the DAC． 25．Which can be a suitable title for the passage? A．AI is Changing Music Creation B．AI Composers VS Human Composers C．How AI Replaces Human Composers D．Colombo Helped Create the DAC 【答案】22．A 23．D 24．B 25．A 【导语】本文介绍了瑞士科学家研发的人工智能算法“深度艺术作曲家(DAC)”，它能自主创作原创音乐，虽目前存在局限，但展示了AI在音乐创作领域的新可能，同时也说明人类作曲家的创造力无法被算法取代。 22．文章第一段，作者先提出 “音乐是声音中的美，为何不借助 AI 创作自己的音乐”，接着介绍 AI 能控制家中灯光、帮我们点披萨等多种用途，引出 “AI 能否像人类一样创作音乐” 的核心疑问，整体是在分享关于AI 的不同观点与应用方向，以此引出全文主题。 23．倒数第二段提到“Colombo said that his purpose in creating the DAC was to help people create their own music… It’s said that he used to throw dice to help him pick which notes to use when making new music.”，说明科伦博提到莫扎特是为了解释他创造DAC的目的。 24．倒数第三段提到“we shouldn’t expect the DAC to replace real-life composers any time soon.”，说明DAC不能取代现实生活中的作曲家。 25．全文围绕AI在音乐创作领域的发展、应用及局限展开，核心是AI正在改变音乐创作，A选项“AI is Changing Music Creation”最能概括文章主旨。 三、阅读填空 （25-26九年级上·江苏南京·月考）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。 Over two-thirds of Earth’s surface is covered by water. As the population (人口) continues to grow, our oceans, rivers, and other waters are influenced by human activities.      Water pollution has done harm to the fish and animals that need the water to live on. Around 45% of the rivers and lakes in the United States are too polluted for fishing or swimming. About 5 to 10 million people pass away each year because of water pollution-related illnesses. It’s reported that around 80 percent of ocean pollution goes into our seas from the land. The chemicals (化学品) farmers use are washed by rain into the groundwater or surface waters nearby. Chemicals from the factories can also go into the air and then go back to earth as rain. Soap (皂) from washing your car can run down the streets and lead to water pollution. Water pollution is bad for the food chain (食物链). Small fishes eat pollutants (污染物), such as chemicals. When birds ate fishes that were polluted, they would lay eggs with thin shells (蛋壳), and the population of the birds began to drop. The pollutants in the world’s oceans are influencing all kinds of plants and animals that live there. Clean water is very important for life on Earth. For over 7 billion people on Earth, clean water is nearly impossible to get. Dirty, polluted water can make them sick. There is no easy way to solve water pollution. Making people realize the problem is the first step to deal with it. Most countries have their own water pollution laws. Always pick up your litter, especially when at the beach, lake, or river. Working harder, we can make pollution less of a problem — and the world a better place. Water pollution Situation ●As the population keeps 26 , water pollution becomes more and more serious. ●Water pollution is 27 to the fish and animals that live on water. ●About 5 to 10 million people 28 each year. Human causes ●Chemicals widely used by farmers and factories 29 our seas. ●Soap from washing cars can 30 down the streets. Influences on the food chain & health ●The number of birds became even 31 as a result of eating the polluted fishes. ●Other animals and 32 are influenced. ●Clean water is not 33 for over 7 billion people on Earth. 34 to help ●Realize the problem. ●Make 35 to reduce water pollution. ●Pick up litter around us. 【答案】 26．growing 27．harmful 28．die 29．enter 30．run 31．smaller 32．plants 33．enough 34．Ways/How 35．laws 【导语】本文主要介绍了水污染的现状、人类造成水污染的原因、水污染对食物链和健康的影响以及应对水污染的方法。 26．文章第一段提到“As the population (人口) continues to grow, our oceans, rivers, and other waters are influenced by human activities.”，其中“continues to grow”表明人口持续增长，题目中“keeps”后需接动词的现在分词形式，所以第一空应填“growing”。 27．文章第二段开头指出“Water pollution has done harm to the fish and animals that need the water to live on.”，“do harm to”表示“对……有害”，题目中“is”后需接形容词，“harmful”是“harm”的形容词形式，所以第二空应填“harmful”。 28．文章第二段提到“About 5 to 10 million people pass away each year because of water pollution - related illnesses.”，“pass away”表示“去世”，题目中需一个动词表示“去世”的意思，“die”符合，所以第三空应填“die”。 29．文章第三段提到“It’s reported that around 80 percent of ocean pollution goes into our seas from the land. The chemicals (化学品) farmers use are washed by rain into the groundwater or surface waters nearby. Chemicals from the factories can also go into the air and then go back to earth as rain.”，说明农民和工厂广泛使用的化学品会进入我们的海洋，“enter”表示“进入”，所以第四空应填“enter”。 30．文章第三段提到“Soap (皂) from washing your car can run down the streets and lead to water pollution.”，其中“run down”表示“流下”，所以第五空应填“run”。 31．文章第四段提到“When birds ate fishes that were polluted, they would lay eggs with thin shells (蛋壳), and the population of the birds began to drop.”，“drop”表示数量下降，即变得更少，“even”后需接比较级，“smaller”是“small”的比较级，所以第六空应填“smaller”。 32．文章第四段提到“The pollutants in the world’s oceans are influencing all kinds of plants and animals that live there.”，说明其他动物和植物都受到了影响，所以第七空应填“plants”。 33．文章第四段提到“For over 7 billion people on Earth, clean water is nearly impossible to get.”，意思是对于地球上超过70亿的人来说，几乎不可能得到干净的水，即干净的水不够，“enough”表示“足够的”，所以第八空应填“enough”。 34．文章最后一段提到“There is no easy way to solve water pollution. Making people realize the problem is the first step to deal with it. Most countries have their own water pollution laws. Always pick up your litter, especially when at the beach, lake, or river.”，这些内容都是在讲帮助解决水污染的方法，“Ways”表示“方法”，“How”也可表示“如何做”，所以第九空应填“Ways/How”。 35．文章最后一段提到“Most countries have their own water pollution laws.”，说明要制定法律来减少水污染，“make laws”表示“制定法律”，所以第十空应填“laws”。 四、短文填空 （25-26九年级下·江苏南京·月考）短文填空，根据句意或括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。 Sports might have started as a way to survive. Long ago, people ran, jumped, and climbed to stay alive. Hunters were known for their special skills. Wall paintings centuries ago, showing activities like wrestling or dancing, 36 (find) in an Egyptian tomb. The ancient Greeks made a big change because of 37 (host) the first Olympic Games. Modern sports began in the UK in the early 38 (nineteen) century and then spread globally. These became the models for sports such as football that we play now. Sports come in many shapes and sizes. Organized sports, whether swimming or ice hockey, are serious forms of play. There are rules 39 (follow), skills and positions to learn, and plans to carry out. Team sports like soccer require you to work with teammates while individual (个人的) sports such as tennis focus on your 40 (person) performance. There’s no doubt that sports are valuable. The American Academy of Pediatrics says play is important for 41 (child) bodies, thinking, social life and feelings. Sports exercise our bodies and teach us about 42 (we) and our world. They make us more imaginative, curious, and creative. The skills we learn can help us in school 43 later at work. In an ideal world, sports would always be fun. But in reality, sports can cause physical hurt like a 44 (break) bone, and also harm in mind. In team sports, misunderstandings and hurt feelings are part of the learning process. Even though they’re not always a cheerful experience, they show us how to face life’s challenges. You may not find 45 better place to play and learn about the world than on a sports field. 【答案】 36．were found 37．hosting 38．nineteenth 39．to follow 40．personal 41．children’s 42．ourselves 43．and 44．broken 45．a 【导语】本文主要介绍了体育运动的起源、发展以及对人类身心健康的巨大价值，指出体育不仅是生存技能的演变，更是培养创造力和应对人生挑战的重要途径。 36．句意：在埃及的一座古墓中发现了几个世纪前的壁画，上面描绘了摔跤或跳舞等活动。主语“Wall paintings”与动词“find”之间是被动关系，且描述的是过去发生的动作，应用一般过去时的被动语态。主语为复数，be动词用were。 37．句意：古希腊人因为举办了第一届奥林匹克运动会而做出了巨大的改变。空格位于介词短语“because of”之后，动词需变为动名词形式。 38．句意：现代体育运动始于19世纪初的英国，然后在全球传播。此处表示“第19世纪”，需使用基数词nineteen对应的序数词形式。 39．句意：有要遵守的规则，要学习的技能和位置，以及要执行的计划。此处需使用动词不定式作定语，修饰前面的名词“rules”。 40．句意：像足球这样的团队运动要求你和队友合作，而像网球这样的个人运动则关注你的个人表现。此处修饰名词“performance”，需将名词person转化为形容词形式作定语。 41．句意：美国儿科学会说，玩耍对孩子们的身体、思维、社交生活和情感很重要。此处表示“儿童的”，指代这一群体的属性，需使用名词child复数形式children的所有格。 42．句意：体育运动锻炼我们的身体，并教会我们关于我们自己和我们的世界的知识。根据句意，此处指代“我们自己”，需使用第一人称复数的反身代词。 43．句意：我们学到的技能可以在学校和之后的工作中帮助我们。此处连接“in school”与“later at work”，表示并列关系。 44．句意：但在现实中，体育运动可能会造成像骨折这样的身体伤害，也会造成心理上的伤害。此处作定语修饰名词“bone”，需使用动词的过去分词形式表示被动或状态，意为“折断的”。 45．句意：你可能找不到比运动场更好的地方来玩耍和了解世界了。此处为“a/an + 形容词比较级 + 名词”结构，表示“一个更……的”。 26 / 28 学科网（北京）股份有限25 / 28 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 抢分18 完形+阅读组合练（南京）（江苏专用） 抢分预测 抢分秘籍 抢分特训 组合练一（完形填空1篇+阅读理解4篇+阅读填空1篇+首字母填空） 一、完形填空(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) （25-26九年级下·江苏南京·月考）Masaru Ibuka, the chairman of Sony, was once at a company planning meeting.

But when the results came out, my name was not there. I felt crushed. I thought, “I’m just not smart enough.” For a whole week, I refused to look at any math problem. I even avoided talking to my math teacher. Then one day, my best friend Chen Wei showed me his own notebook. He had also failed the tryout. But instead of giving up, he had written down every mistake he made and corrected them with different colors. “Mistakes are not the end,” he said. “They are clues to what we need to learn.” His words woke me up. I asked my teacher to go over my test paper with me. She pointed out that I was weak in geometry and often rushed through word problems. So I made a plan: practice geometry for 20 minutes every day, and always read word problems twice. Three months later, I tried out again. This time, I made the team. But more importantly, I learned that failure is not a reflection of who I am—it is a stepping stone to who I can become. 14．How did the writer feel after failing the first tryout? A．He wanted to study harder immediately. B．He felt hopeless and avoided math. C．He asked his teacher for help right away. D．He decided to join another club. 15．What did the writer do to improve before the second tryout? A．He only solved easy problems. B．He practiced geometry daily and read word problems twice. C．He asked his friend to take the test for him. D．He stopped doing math completely. 16．What does the writer mean by “failure is a stepping stone to who I can become”? A．Failure means you will never succeed. B．Failure is something to be hidden from others. C．Only successful people never fail. D．Failure is a necessary part of growth and improvement.

Actually, in China, trains have turned into centres which bring together the public and the nation’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH, 非物质文化遗产). Trains go across China and they are becoming ideal places for introducing local traditional culture. A good example is the K7041 train from Harbin to Mohe in Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province. On the ICH train, Gulayier, dressed in traditional clothes, sang Oroqen folk songs (鄂伦春民歌) and his partner played the Oroqen jaw harp, a musical instrument. Tourists on the train, especially those from southern China, sang and danced excitedly with the two performers together. Gulayier said the train made it easier to hold tourists’ attention to his shows. He thought the train was a good platform for promoting (促进) ICH. Traditional heritage comes to life on trains. More ICH such as Qinhuai lanterns from Nanjing, Yulin puppet shows, and tea-picking operas in Guangxi have also made appearances on high-speed trains across China. It offers passengers a close-up way to experience traditional culture. Professor Xiao Fang from Beijing Normal University shares Gulayier’s opinion on the new use of ICH trains. He has pointed out another advantage of this. Beyond cultural promotion, it offers help for tourism. When passengers enjoy local traditions on board, they often develop a deeper interest in exploring the places they pass through. However, the ICH train journeys still have challenges, including the narrow space on trains and passengers getting on and off at each station. Therefore, some solutions are coming up — cultural corners show traditional arts, and QR codes connect to more digital information. These help passengers to explore ICH at their own pace and continue learning after their journey ends. The success of ICH trains offers valuable lessons for cultural protection worldwide, proving that innovation (革新) and tradition can work together to keep cultural heritage alive for future generations. 17．What is the fresh experience for passengers on the K7041 train? A．Travelling farther north. B．Wearing traditional clothes. C．Joining in live shows. D．Having fun on the phone. 18．What do Gulayier and Professor Xiao both agree on? A．ICH encourages more local visits. B．Trains help make ICH more popular. C．ICH improves the Chinese train journeys. D．Passengers welcome performers on ICH trains. 19．What does Paragraph 5 mention about the ICH train journeys? A．Their features and influence. B．Their reasons and results. C．Their problems and methods. D．Their future and improvement. 20．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Trains push China’s cultural heritage further B．China puts arms around local artists on ICH trains C．More ICH trains begin running on railways in China D．Train passengers share different local cultures of China C （2025·江苏南京·模拟预测）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 (植入) 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 (意识). 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. 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 turn 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 off—and their brain performance got worse. Gina Arata, a patient who took part in the trial, said, “I can remember how much 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. 21．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. 22．What does the word “It” refer to in Paragraph 2? A．The research team. B．The serious brain injury. C．The use of DBS device. D．The chemical signal between neurons. 23．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. 24．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．a-b-c-e-d B．a-b-d-e-c C．b-c-e-a-d D．b-e-c-a-d 25．Which is the best title for this article? 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．A New Discovery of A Cure For All Brain Injuries 三、任务型阅读 (共10小题，满分10分) （25-26八年级下·江苏南京·月考）根据所读内容，在文章后的空格里填入恰当的内容。（26—33题每空一词；34题词数不限。） In Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, the Twelve Hours of Chang’an is a cultural street with a Tang Dynasty theme, which shows a clear and lifelike picture of Tang Dynasty (618—907) city life.

Many of them have a long history, and are believed to share similarities with modern sports. One sport that dates back to the Warring States period is Cuju. It was originally 35 (develop) for military training. By the Han Dynasty, it had become 36 (wide) welcomed and highly skillful. Even emperors at that time were Cuju fans, who not only liked watching Cuju games, but also practised their footwork on the playground. In Cuju games, two teams of six players competed to score goals by 37 (kick) a ball into the net—does that sound familiar? In 2004, FIFA recognized Cuju as the earliest form of soccer, which made Chinese people 38 (pride). During the Song Dynasty, the competitive goal-scoring style turned into a performance that focused on skills. And at that time, even women and children enjoyed 39 (play) Cuju, which we can see from some paintings, reflecting the popularity of Cuju as a form of amusement in China’s history. 组合练二（完形填空1篇+阅读理解4篇+阅读填空1篇+首字母填空） 一、完形填空 (共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) （25-26九年级上·江苏南京·月考）Life Is Beautiful is an Italian movie that tells a powerful story about a father’s love during World WarⅡ.

B （25-26九年级上·江苏南京·月考）One morning in autumn, I visited my friend Sherlock Holmes at his home on Baker Street. I found him talking with a visitor—a large man with a kind, red face and red hair. When I walked in, the visitor stood up quickly to leave. “Please don’t go on my account,” I said. “No, Dr. Watson, please stay,” said Holmes. “This is Dr. James Mortimer. Dr. Mortimer, this is my friend Dr. Watson, who helps me with many cases.” After Dr. Mortimer left, Holmes picked up a walking stick the visitor had forgotten. He smiled and handed it to me. “Well, Watson, look at this stick. What can you tell me about the man who owns it? Let’s hear your ideas before I tell you mine.” I took the stick. It was a good, strong piece of wood. Near the top was a wide silver ring. Words were cut into the silver: “To James Mortimer, from his friends at the hospital. 1884.” I thought for a moment. “It seems Dr. Mortimer is a country doctor,” I said. “He is probably older and successful. His friends gave him this stick years ago, so he must be well-liked.” “Good!” said Holmes. “You see some things. But look closer. Do you see these marks here?” He pointed to some lines on the stick. “They look like...bite marks?” I asked. Exactly! They are teeth marks from a dog. The marks are deep, so the dog had strong jaws—a big dog. But the marks are not very deep all around, so the dog was playing, not fighting. The doctor has a large, friendly dog, I think.” I was surprised. I had not noticed the marks at all. Holmes continued. “Now, the words on the silver ring tell us he got this stick when he finished his studies in 1884. It is now many years later, but the stick is still in good condition. If he walked very long distances every day, the stick would be more worn. So, he is a country doctor who visits patients nearby or uses a horse for long trips.” “What else?” I asked, feeling impressed. “He forgot his stick,” said Holmes. “A man does not forget something he uses every day unless he is thinking very hard about something else. He seemed nervous when he left. I believe he came to ask for my help with a strange and serious problem. He saw you, a stranger, and decided to leave and think about it more.” Just then, the door opened. Dr. Mortimer came back in, looking worried. “I am so sorry,” he said. “I forgot my walking stick.” “Of course,” said Holmes, giving it to him. “I hope your dog is well, Doctor?” Dr. Mortimer’s eyes opened wide. “How did you know about my dog? He is at home today!” “Your stick told me,” said Holmes calmly. “Now, I think you came back not only for the stick, but because you want to talk about your problem. Please, sit down. Tell us your story from the beginning.” Dr. Mortimer sat down and began to tell a strange and frightening story about a family named Baskerville and a mysterious death on the moors—a case that would become one of our most famous adventures together. 14．What was the main clue Holmes used to know about Dr. Mortimer’s dog? A．The date “1884” on the stick. B．The words “from his friends.” C．The bite marks on the walking stick. D．The doctor’s wide silver ring. 15．What did Holmes think about how Dr. Mortimer traveled for work? A．He walked very long distances every day. B．He might use a horse for long visits. C．He only visits patients far away. D．He took a train for a long trip. 16．Why did Holmes think Dr. Mortimer had a serious problem? A．Because Dr. Mortimer looked very rich and had a wide silver ring. B．Because Dr. Mortimer forgot his stick and seemed nervous. C．Because Dr. Mortimer’s stick was bitten by his dog. D．Because Dr. Mortimer’s dog was ill. 17．What is the main purpose of this story? A．To describe how to solve the case. B．To show how Holmes uses observation to learn about people. C．To tell a funny story about Dr. Mortimer and his dog. D．To explain what serious problem a country doctor had. C （25-26九年级下·江苏南京·月考）Seed (种子) dispersal is an interesting topic of study. It involves the movement, or transport, of seeds away from the parent plant. Plants disperse (传播) seeds in a variety of ways. Wind, water, animals and even fire help scatter (撒播) plant seeds. Some plants, such as dandelions, have seeds that are small and light. One dandelion can produce up to a hundred seeds. As dandelion seeds are dispersed by the wind, it is likely that some seeds will land in areas in which new plants can grow. A milkweed pod is filled with hundreds of seeds that can waft (飘荡) in the breeze. Both milkweed and dandelion seeds have been known to travel hundreds of miles on a wind current. Some plants, such as peas and violets, use an explosion (爆破) to send their seeds away. As a pea pod dries, it will eventually burst and send seeds flying in every direction. Violets use explosive dispersal as well. When the seeds are ready, the pod will open with a pop, ejecting seeds with surprising force. Many plants that live near water, such as the coconut tree, have seeds that can float and be carried great distances by the water. If dispersed into an ocean, a coconut can even be transported to another continent. Animals help plants disperse seeds in several ways. Some plants, like the burdock, have barbs that can get caught in the fur of animals passing by. An animal may carry the seed to a new location before the seed gets shaken off its fur. Other plants produce seeds inside fruits, such as apples and berries, that get eaten by animals. The seeds pass through the animal’s body and are dropped in other locations. The animal gets a tasty treat, and the plant grows in new places as the seeds are dispersed. Squirrels bury seeds for later. They return to find many, but not all, of the seeds they have stored. It could be said that a squirrel is nature’s gardener, as these seeds often grow into new plants. This is how many oak trees have been planted, as the acorn is one of a squirrel’s favorite treats. Fire is a less common method of seed dispersal. A forest fire can destroy most plants in an area, creating an open space. Seeds designed to take advantage of this space live in cones held together by resin (树脂). The glue-like resin melts at the temperature of a forest fire, allowing the seeds to be released to begin regrowth of the forest. 18．Why do most plants disperse seeds? A．To keep the ocean clean. B．To help new plants grow. C．To satisfy humans’ daily needs. D．To treat animals in the forest. 19．How does the writer introduce the ways seeds are dispersed? A．By showing the steps in order. B．By explaining cause and effect. C．By providing the examples in detail. D．By comparing and noting the differences. 20．What does “a squirrel is nature’s gardener” probably mean? A．Squirrels are born gardeners in nature. B．Squirrels can help people take care of gardens. C．Squirrels like planting acorns instead of eating them. D．Squirrels help disperse seeds because they forget where to find seeds. 21．Which method of seed dispersal is clearly good for both a plant and an animal? A．A coconut seed floats to another continent. B．Milkweed and dandelion seeds are dispersed by the wind. C．A squirrel buries an acorn but does not come back to dig it up. D．An animal eats a fruit and the seeds are taken away to another place. D （25-26九年级上·江苏南京·期末） Music is beauty in sounds. Why not make your own music with the help of AI? Artificial intelligence (AI) can do many different things. From controlling the lights in our homes to helping us order pizzas, it seems there aren’t many more uses for AI than we already have. However, can AI make music like human beings? Thanks to a team of Swiss scientists, AI may soon be able to come up with music especially for us. Researchers at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have created a computer algorithm (算法), the “Deep Artificial Composer” (DAC), which can create original music all by itself. Florian Colombo, an EPFL scientist who helped create the DAC, said that AI could produce complete melodies (旋律), with a beginning and an end. At present, the DAC is only able to produce several pieces of traditional Irish folk music, but it’s hoped that it will be able to create songs based on any type of music in the end. To “teach” the DAC, the scientists trained it to “listen” to over 2,000 different folk songs. Based on this input (输入), the AI taught itself how to compose music, from getting the pitch (音高) and timing right, to choosing the right notes. This process is still in its early stages, with the DAC still not producing perfect results, but Colombo told AFP that the AI’s music is still “quite pleasant to listen to.” While the idea sounds very hopeful, we shouldn’t expect the DAC to replace real-life composers any time soon. According to Colombo, the system was designed to produce only simple melodies. So far, it can only create songs based on a single instrument. Colombo said that his purpose in creating the DAC was to help people create their own music, not to have it made for them. His exciting new ideas came from Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart. It’s said that he used to throw dice (掷骰子) to help him pick which notes to use when making new music. “A good composer with creative ideas will never be replaced by an algorithm.” Colombo told AFP. 22．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By sharing different ideas on AI. B．By explaining the meaning of AI. C．By showing the development of AI. D．By presenting the advantages of AI. 23．Why does Colombo mention Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart? A．To express his respect for Mozart. B．To present his achievement on AI music. C．To praise Mozart’s contribution to music. D．To explain his purpose in creating the DAC． 24．What can we learn about the DAC from the passage? A．The DAC was refused by some composers. B．The DAC can’t be used instead of real-life composers. C．Music creation has to depend on the DAC． D．Scientists are amazed at music made by the DAC． 25．Which can be a suitable title for the passage? A．AI is Changing Music Creation B．AI Composers VS Human Composers C．How AI Replaces Human Composers D．Colombo Helped Create the DAC 三、阅读填空 （25-26九年级上·江苏南京·月考）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。 Over two-thirds of Earth’s surface is covered by water. As the population (人口) continues to grow, our oceans, rivers, and other waters are influenced by human activities.      Water pollution has done harm to the fish and animals that need the water to live on. Around 45% of the rivers and lakes in the United States are too polluted for fishing or swimming. About 5 to 10 million people pass away each year because of water pollution-related illnesses. It’s reported that around 80 percent of ocean pollution goes into our seas from the land. The chemicals (化学品) farmers use are washed by rain into the groundwater or surface waters nearby. Chemicals from the factories can also go into the air and then go back to earth as rain. Soap (皂) from washing your car can run down the streets and lead to water pollution. Water pollution is bad for the food chain (食物链). Small fishes eat pollutants (污染物), such as chemicals. When birds ate fishes that were polluted, they would lay eggs with thin shells (蛋壳), and the population of the birds began to drop. The pollutants in the world’s oceans are influencing all kinds of plants and animals that live there. Clean water is very important for life on Earth. For over 7 billion people on Earth, clean water is nearly impossible to get. Dirty, polluted water can make them sick. There is no easy way to solve water pollution. Making people realize the problem is the first step to deal with it. Most countries have their own water pollution laws. Always pick up your litter, especially when at the beach, lake, or river. Working harder, we can make pollution less of a problem — and the world a better place.
