Passage 1
Most people hope to have a good memory which helps them succeed in study, work and life. Can memory be improved? Luckily, hundreds of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a definite (确定的) answer.
A healthy lifestyle (生活方式) keeps your brain memory active. First of all, it is necessary to have a healthy eating habit. Eating more food rich in Vitamin B and Vitamin E helps you have a better memory. Doing exercise can keep your brain alive, too. Proper exercise provides much needed oxygen (氧气) for the brain. Running, riding a bike, swimming and even walking two or three times a week are helpful. Moreover, getting enough sleep is important. Only when your brain gets a good rest, can it work well. The healthier your lifestyle is, the better your memory will become.
Memory skills help you remember things better. Chunking is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into smaller ones. For example, to memorize a ten-digit (数字) telephone number 2127983630, you can divide the digits into three groups: first 212, then 798, and last 3630. This method is far more effective (有效的) than remembering a string (字符串) of 10 digits. However, memory skills will hardly work if you don’t understand the information. What’s more, only a regular (经常的) review can make the memory last long. That is why students are always advised to go over what they have learned after one day and then after three days, and then use it as often as possible.
Human brains are like muscles that need nutrition (营养) and exercise to become stronger. If you make a few lifestyle changes and try some memory skills, you can certainly improve your memory.

Passage 2
Nowadays, the Chinese are paying increasing attention to traditional Chinese medicine to keep their physical health and improve their daily life.
In China, using herbs (药草) for health has a very long history. Doctors put different herbs together according to a person’s condition. These natural medicines have fewer side effects compared to western medicines.

It’s getting more and more popular to treat illness with moxa (艾). As the moxa burns, it gives out warm smoke. Then, we carefully put the burning moxa near special areas on our body, like on the stomach, the back or legs. The heat can help blood run better and drive the pain or discomfort away.

Passage 4
Have you ever made a decision but still felt unsure? Maybe you wrote a message but paused (停顿) before sending it, or chose clothes but kept changing your mind. In a world that values quick actions, hesitation (犹豫) is often seen as a weakness. But what if it is actually a wise guide?
Our minds and bodies work together. When we hesitate, it might be a sign that we need to pay attention to something important. Imagine standing in front of a door but not wanting to open it. Your body could be telling you about possible dangers your mind hasn’t fully noticed. This hesitation isn’t always fear — it might mean we need more time or information to make a better choice.
Hesitation can also come from our intuition (直觉). It helps us know what is truly right. For example, if you feel nervous about joining a competition even when you are fully prepared, ask yourself: Is this fear from past failures, or is your intuition warning you about real danger? ______. Pretend you have already chosen to join and notice how your body reacts (反应)— Does it feel light and calm, or heavy and worried?
Here’s how to use hesitation wisely: First, slow down. If a decision feels too big, sleep on it and think again the next day. Second, talk to friends you trust or write down your thoughts. Their advice or your own words might show hidden worries or new ideas. Third, remember that hesitation is not failure. It is a tool to collect missing parts of the story before taking action.
In the end, hesitation teaches us to listen — not just to our thoughts, but to our whole self. Next time you pause, ask: What is my body or intuition trying to say? The answer might help you make wiser choices.
6.Why might we hesitate before entering a room according to the passage?
A.Because the body senses possible uneasiness.
B.Because the door is too heavy to open.
C.Because we want to get in quickly.
D.Because we need others to help us.
7.Which of the following can be put in ________?

A.It leads to failure. B.It is a tool for better decisions.

10.Which would be the best theme picture of the passage?
A. B.

Passage 5
Maths is all around. Some love the challenge of working out maths problems, but many fear the moment when they have to deal with numbers and feel a real sense of confusion. This “maths anxiety” is perfectly normal, and you’re certainly not alone. And anyway, your worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect your ability.
The problem really starts in childhood, at school. Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may be more likely to be influenced. According to the Programme for International Student Assessment (评估), around 31% of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries got very nervous doing maths problems and nearly 60% said they worried maths classes would be difficult.
“ ★ .” Shulamit Kahn from Boston University’s Questrom School of Business says, “The key is to get people, especially women who love maths, to teach younger children.”
Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says, “It’s not clear why maths gives rise to so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s a right or wrong answer might make you more worried about underperforming. And once you believe you’re not a ‘maths person’, you may avoid solving things that you probably could do.”
Psychologists (心理学家) have been trying to find out why mental calculation (心算) can get people in a sweat. That may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fear clearly can loosen its hold on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat (威胁). So, just think positively about maths and give it a second chance!
46.If teachers are nervous about teaching maths, their students will ________.
A.love the challenge of working out maths problems B.be certainly not good at maths
C.often make mistakes in maths classes D.fee anxious in learning maths
47.Which of the following can be put in ★ ?
A.All girls think maths classes difficult
B.Giving students good role models is important, especially at a young age
C.The anxiety about maths depresses many people
D.Compared to women,men are more suitable to be maths teachers
48.What can be a result if one thinks he is not a “maths person”?
A.He might be doubtful about his ability. B.He may rise to challenges bravely.
C.He won’t see maths as a threat. D.He will study maths harder.
49.The underlined phrase “In a swear” in the last paragraph probably means “ ________”。
A.proud B.surprised C.frightened D.lonely
50.The best title for the passage would be “________”.
A.Numbers in Everyday Life B.Maths Education in Childhood
C.Should We Fear Maths? D.Be a “Maths Person”
Passage 6
Have you ever heard of e-waste (电子垃圾), which can be produced every day? How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they’re broken or you want a new one?
Most people just throw them away. With the development of electronic industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41. 8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6. 5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.

Passage 7
AI has already been used in many different fields. And now, this technology has made a difference in the lives of missing children.
In Hubei, a group of 30 university students are working on a special project. They have developed an AI system that restores old photos. The clearer photos allow them to better find missing people. Over the past three years, the team has restored more than 1,000 photos. They have helped 11 families with missing children successfully. Thanks to the AI programme, in December 2021, a father found his missing son after 14 years of searching. The father was moved to tears with the help of the programme. The case got a lot of media (媒体) attention after a movie Dearest came out in 2014.
The project was set up by a university student, Sheng in 2020. One day, he happened to see a missing child notice. The photos on the notice were hard to make out. “Even if the child is present, the photos may not be of any use,” he said. As a result, Sheng decided to use his knowledge to help families with missing children. To his surprise, many of his schoolmates volunteered to join him. After six months’ hard work, the team managed to develop an AI system for restoring old photos.
In the future, Sheng plans to put together a more skilled team to run the programme. His goal is not just to improve the technology. More importantly, he would like to see more young people join the public service. Sheng is confident that this team will be able to create more wonders.

Passage 8
With the development of technology, online learning has become more and more popular. More and more students are choosing to study online. Online learning has both advantages and disadvantages.
One of the biggest advantages of online learning is flexibility. Students can study at any time and any place as long as they have a computer and the Internet. They don’t need to go to school or training institutions. This is very convenient for students who have other things to do, such as working or taking care of their families.
Another advantage is that online learning provides a wide range of courses. Students can choose courses from different schools and teachers all over the world. They can learn what they are interested in and what they need. Online courses are usually cheaper than traditional courses. This can save students a lot of money.
However, online learning also has some disadvantages. First, it requires students to have strong self-discipline. Without the supervision of teachers and classmates, some students may not study hard. They may be distracted by other things, such as playing computer games or watching videos.
Second, online learning lacks face-to-face communication. Students can’t interact with teachers and classmates directly. This may affect their learning experience. Some students may feel lonely and lose interest in learning.
Third, online learning is dependent on technology. If the computer or the Internet breaks down, students can’t continue their study. This will affect their learning progress.
In conclusion, online learning has both good and bad sides. Students should consider their own situation before choosing online learning. They should make full use of its advantages and try to avoid its disadvantages. Only in this way can they get the most out of online learning.

Passage 9
Do you know the five main senses we have? They are touch, taste, sight, smell and hearing. They are controlled by different parts of our brains. So we call the brain our built-in “BeiDou”. Brains help our bodies work smoothly. Try this: close your eyes and touch your nose. It’s easy, right? That’s because our brains can receive messages about where our body parts are. We can also stand on one leg without falling down. If we lose our balance, our brains will give us orders to fix it.
★ . Tests show that people see spider pictures faster than flowers. Some researchers also found that people react (作出反应) to loud noises faster than to a friend’s voice. Scientists aren’t completely sure about the reasons. Some suggest that this skill might come from ancient times. Our ancestors were often faced with predators. So they had to protect themselves from dangerous animals like spiders and tigers, or they would lose their lives. Until today, we still jump at sudden noises or shadows (影子) in dark rooms.
Here is more about brains. Can you imagine seeing colors when you hear music, or tasting candy when you see the sunshine? It’s called sense mixing. Scientists think this happens when different senses intermingle (相互交织). Another fact is that temperature sometimes influences our senses. Some people can feel storms coming through knee pain. So we often joke that we’re “human weather apps”. Also, our brains are able to make adjustment (调整) to some senses. If someone can’t see well, his hearing or touch might become stronger.
Though scientists have done much research on the brain, there’s still a lot to do. Have you ever wondered why some people are better at sports? What’s the secret to improving memory? Then it’s time for you to start your discovering journey.
16.What do the two examples in the first paragraph show?
A.Brains help our bodies work well. B.Human brains are different.

Passage 1
A long time ago there was a boy. He was smart and handsome. However, he only cared for himself and his temper (脾气) was so bad that 1 wanted to be friends with him. Often he got 2 and said many hurtful things to people around him.
The boy’s parents were very worried about his bad temper. They considered what they could do. “We must do something to make a 3 to him,” his father said to himself.
One day, the father had a (n) 4 . He called his son and gave him a hammer (锤子) and a bag of nails (钉子). The father said, “Every time you get angry, take a nail and drive it into the wall as 5 as you can.”
The wall was very tough and the hammer was heavy. The 6 day he drove 37 nails. Day after day, week after week, the number of nails was gradually going down. After some time, the boy started to understand that holding his temper is 7 than driving nails into the wall.
One day, the boy didn’t need the hammer and nails any more 8 he learned to hold his temper perfectly. So he came to his father and told about his 9 . “Now, every time when you hold your temper all day long, 10 one nail,” his father said to him.
As much time passed, the boy could be proud of himself because all the 11 on the wall were gone. When he went to his father and told him about it, his father pointed to the wall. “You did a good job, my son,” he said, “but notice the holes 12 by the nails. The wall will 13 be the same.”
The same happens when you say hurtful things to people, as your words leave hurts in their hearts like those 14 in the wall. Remember, we need to 15 everyone with love and respect. It doesn’t matter that you say you are sorry, because the hurts will not disappear.

Passage 2
I don’t think many people have been in a situation like the one Lily and I experienced last winter. We were 16 to snowboard for the first time in the great and beautiful mountains of Austria. Of course, many things can go 17 when you’re new to an extreme sport (极限运动), but what happened to us was very 18 . The old saying “there’s a first time for everything” is 19 true based on (依据) our experience!
We’d booked lessons before we arrived, and were both feeling quite nervous 20 we took the lift up the mountain with Max, our coach. “Don’t worry,” he said. “You might 21 a bit, but you’ll love it!” The first 22 was really challenging and we fell onto the ground many times! By the end of the first day, we were very 23 but, as promised, we’d had a great time and fallen totally in love with snowboarding.
The following day, Max was showing how to turn. As our eyes followed him down the slope (斜坡), he 24 disappeared. “Where did he go?” I asked Lily, as we headed for where he’d disappeared. We discovered Max at the 25 of a big hole. “I think it’s broken,” he said, 26 his left leg. We called for help on his radio and twenty minutes later the three of us were in a helicopter (直升机) heading for the 27 centre.
I’m pretty sure we 28 the helicopter ride more than poor Max! After examining Max’s body, the 29 was sure that he had broken his leg. She said it was the first time she’d ever 30 learners bring their coach in for treatment.
What an unforgettable experience we had! And yes, it’s true that there’s a first time for everything.

Passage 3
One day, a little boy decided to dig a hole behind his house after watching a science program. As he was 31 , some boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of them. “I want to dig a deep hole all the way through the 32 !” the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that it was 33 .
The little boy didn’t give up and kept on digging. Suddenly, he found a few small 34 that looked very beautiful. He collected them and put them into a glass jar patiently. The jar was full soon. Then he talked to 35 .
The boy’s goal (目标) was too 36 , but it did cause him to dig. And that is what a goal is 37 .
Not every goal will be fully 38 . Not every job will end up with a 39 . Not every dream will come true. But when you can’t achieve your goal, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look at what I’ve found along the way! There are so many wonderful things that have come into my life 40 I tried to do something!” It is in the digging that life is lived. And I believe it is joy in the journey that really matters.

Passage 4
Last Friday, Mike and I planned to invite friends for dinner. When Mike got held up at work, I had to prepare alone.
Already running late myself, I grew 56 while driving to get Haydn and Michael. After rushing them into the car, I explained we had to make a few stops before going home and that they needed to help me tidy the house. They started complaining at once. I turned and gave them a warning with my 57 . For the next hour I dragged (拖动) the boys from one place to the next. The more I needed them to hurry, the more slowy they moved. My 58 was wearing thin.
Just as we finished our last thing, the boys 59 me to stop at the pet store to buy crickets (蟋蟀). Yes, I had 60 them. Fifteen minutes later, we were back in the car with some new 61 : one hundred live crickets in a clear bag.
I pulled into the driveway with only 45 minutes left before my 62 arrived. I started giving the boys orders angrily, but all they focused on was the crickets. Even worse, the next time I looked up, the crickets were 63 all over my kitchen. I shouted and climbed onto a chair to avoid them.
As I watched the boys 64 the crickets with laughter, I realized I had only two 65 : I could continue feeling angry, or just let it go and enjoy the funny moment. I chose joy. I jumped off the chair and 66 them. It took us fifteen minutes to 67 all the little guys. Then they 68 helped me prepare dinner. We ended up having a 69 party.
Things go wrong from time to time. We can’t 70 that, but we can decide how we’re going to treat things. Focus on joy, and you’ll find it.

I think it would have been easy to feel 102 about our situation. But my mom had other ideas. She used that time to give my brother Jess and me happy memories that 103 our way of seeing things forever. However, I only understood how 104 she was many years later.
At that time, my mom would often take Jess and me to the nearest 105 . From there, we would go on trips to “see the world”. The bus system around our area offered better service than 106 . With very little money, you could ride all the buses you wanted for the whole day. 107 my mom learned how the system worked, she took us to many interesting places.
One of our favorite places was the mall in Carlsbad. We would walk around the mall, looking into store windows without 108 anything. Our goal was just to enjoy the 109 and watch people.
On other trips, we would ride the bus all the way to Strand Beach. There, we 110 shells and beautiful stones. We watched ships sailing by, and we often heard planes flying over us.
Every trip felt like a wonderful 111 . I was thankful to my mom for turning that hard time into something 112 . Later, my father got a good job, and we found a nice home in the countryside.
My mom did more than just help Jess and me 113 our problems. She taught us to stay 114 and enjoy the beauty of the world around us, even without spending money. She also showed us that no matter where we were or what troubles we faced, there was always something that could make us 115 .

Passage 6
“Why did we pick today for this? I should be staying at home, having a birthday party, and lots of birthday gifts are waiting for me!” I said to Dad, a little upset. Six miles into our bird-watching trip in Happy Forest Park, we were in 116 .
In the morning, we set out in 117 weather. Birds were singing along the way while we enjoyed the sunshine. But storm clouds came unexpectedly.
“I checked the weather, but the app didn’t 118 us,” Dad explained. Mom comforted me.
“Don’t worry, and maybe you’ll get a nicer 119 for your birthday.”
“Really?” I forced a smile.
“Find shelter (遮蔽)!” Dad shouted as the heavy rain poured down. We 120 a rest area nearby and rushed there. The wind blew hard and I felt cold. I found I’d forgotten to take my emergency rescue blanket (紧急救生毯) when I 121 my bag.
“Ta-da! Look! ” Dad pulled out a blanket from his bag and put it over us. “Let’s 122 ,” he added. Mom brought out a packet of cookies. “ 123 makes everything better,” she said, passing them around. Her calmness helped me breathe 124 .
Half an hour passed, but the rain didn’t stop. We had to 125 the trip and return.
The ground was wet, so Dad kept reminding us to be slow and 126 . He suggested we hold on to the trees in order not to 127 .
The sky grew dark, so we couldn’t see the road clearly. “Are we… 128 ?” I asked. Dad took out a compass (指南针) from his magic bag. “See this? Always 129 one,” he said, “North is that way.” Then he guided us with a flashlight.
We finally got to the car park and drove home safely. On arriving home, we got into warm clothes. “The weather in the mountains changes anytime. Luckily, with good 130 , we made the trip safe and sound. High five!” Dad said while we were drinking hot chocolate.
“And this unusual trip is the best birthday gift I got today,” I smiled to Mom.

Passage 7
Brian had dreamed of owning a bulldog puppy (幼犬) ever since he saw one at his friend Michael’s birthday party.
But when he finally picked up the courage to ask his parents to buy one for him, Mama 131 him. “That kind of dog is too expensive,” she said. “Try to make some money by yourself. Ask our 132 if they have jobs you can do.”
After two weeks’ hard work, Brian saved twenty-six dollars in the neighborhood. But it was not enough to 133 a puppy. Then, Papa pointed at a 134 at the store: City Animal Shelter Needs Your Help!
“The shelter takes care of homeless pets,” Papa said. “Brian, you need to know 135 to care for a puppy before you get one. I’m sure you can learn a lot by working there.”
At the shelter, Miss Evans, the manager said, “We only take volunteers who work for 136 . All our money is to help animals.” “You’ll know a lot about dogs,” Papa 137 Brain.
Brian’s shoulders 138 . How was he ever able to get enough money for a puppy? Finally, he 139 to give it a try.
Brian started working at the shelter on Saturday. His task was sweeping. One dog named Coco jumped and ran around him all the time. She was fully 140 , but she was as naughty as a puppy.
After several weeks, Brian began to 141 his time with the dogs, especially Coco. One day Brian asked Miss Evans why Coco was still at the shelter.
Miss Evans sighed, “We’ve had 142 in finding a home for her. Most people don’t want such a noisy dog.” “I wish I could 143 her,” Brian replied.
Miss Evans smiled, “Sorry, Brian. I’m afraid you can’t. You can only adopt her.” With his parents’ help, Brian made it at last.

Passage 8
The summer I turned thirteen, Grandma taught me the most valuable lesson through a handful of dry peas (豌豆).
“Shall we 161 them up?” Grandma’s eyes shone with secrets. Her warm hands guided mine as we planted the seeds (种子) in the soil together. “Patience is the 162 to all good things,” she said in a low voice.
For three weeks, I watered the planting area 163 , checking every morning with schoolbag still on my shoulders. However, days passed and there was no sign of sprouts (新芽). 164 washed over me. “Maybe they’re too old,” I suggested, 165 to give up the project. Grandma smiled confidently, “Let’s give them seven more sunrises.”
On the sixth day, new green sprouts 166 through the soil like treasures. From then on, I hurried to the garden before breakfast every day, 167 a notebook in one hand to draw tiny leaves. When insects came, we thought about 168 to do and created a special insect killer—garlic (大蒜) water. Through sunny and rainy days, the plants gradually grew wildly.
It took months and seasons of 169 waiting for peas to grow up. Nature shows me the growing rule. That’s when I realized answers 170 only after weeks of continuous practice.
One day while watering the peas, Grandma pointed to the plants near the fence (栅栏)and said, “Look how the strongest peas grow here. They had to work the 171 because the fence took away most sunlight here.” The truth shocked me like summer rain – 172 positions never lead to meaningful growth.
Life’s most beautiful changes begin underground long before we see any growth. The 173 growth of peas is like every dream in its way. We’re all seeds carrying unknown possibilities, requiring not just time but true patience and day-by-day efforts.
When my younger cousin 174 her paintings recently, I gave her a pea packet and Grandma’s golden 175 : “Don’t give up too soon.”

On my way to the meeting, my mind was 5 to the book: What is my favorite place on Earth? Many cities, islands, rivers and parks ran through my mind. How do you 6 your favorite place when all of them are special in one way or another? I tried hard to come up with a(n) 7 . As I pulled into the parking lot, it 8 me: My favorite place in the world is Terminal (航站楼) E at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
Terminal E is the airport’s international terminal, so many of my trips begin there. As soon as I 9 inside, I get excited and nervous. I feel like a child again. I have no idea what my trip will be like, but that’s 10 of the fun. As I wait to board, I watch other travelers come and go. I 11 what stories they have to tell.
The terminal also 12 me home. As soon as my plane 13 down, it seems to hug me, as if saying, “Texas has missed you.” My arrival at Terminal E 14 me that it’s just a long walk to my car and a 30-minute drive home.

Passage 1
(25-26九年级·湖北武汉汉阳区·一模)
Most people hope to have a good memory which helps them succeed in study, work and life. Can memory be improved? Luckily, hundreds of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a definite (确定的) answer.
A healthy lifestyle (生活方式) keeps your brain memory active. First of all, it is necessary to have a healthy eating habit. Eating more food rich in Vitamin B and Vitamin E helps you have a better memory. Doing exercise can keep your brain alive, too. Proper exercise provides much needed oxygen (氧气) for the brain. Running, riding a bike, swimming and even walking two or three times a week are helpful. Moreover, getting enough sleep is important. Only when your brain gets a good rest, can it work well. The healthier your lifestyle is, the better your memory will become.
Memory skills help you remember things better. Chunking is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into smaller ones. For example, to memorize a ten-digit (数字) telephone number 2127983630, you can divide the digits into three groups: first 212, then 798, and last 3630. This method is far more effective (有效的) than remembering a string (字符串) of 10 digits. However, memory skills will hardly work if you don’t understand the information. What’s more, only a regular (经常的) review can make the memory last long. That is why students are always advised to go over what they have learned after one day and then after three days, and then use it as often as possible.
Human brains are like muscles that need nutrition (营养) and exercise to become stronger. If you make a few lifestyle changes and try some memory skills, you can certainly improve your memory.
1.How many ways of keeping a healthy lifestyle are mentioned in the passage?
A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.
2.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A.telephone B.nutrition C.information D.memory
3.Why should we review what we’ve learned regularly?
A.To make the memory last long. B.To show that we are hard-working.
C.To follow our teachers’ advice. D.To do homework right and finish it early.
4.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.To have a healthy eating habit is necessary.
B.Getting enough sleep is important.
C.Memory skills are helpful for you to remember things.
D.Human brains don’t need nutrition and exercise.
5.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Not everyone has a good memory. B.Memory can be improved in some way.
C.Memory skills are not difficult to learn. D.It’s important to have a healthy lifestyle.
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.A 4.D 5.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了如何通过健康的生活方式和记忆技巧来提高记忆力。文章指出,过去50年的研究已经证实记忆力是可以提升的,并给出了具体的建议和方法。
1.第二段提到保持健康生活方式的具体做法:“First of all, it is necessary to have a healthy eating habit.”、“Doing exercise can keep your brain alive, too.”、“Moreover, getting enough sleep is important.”,共提到三种方式。
2.第三段中“it”出现在句子“if you don’t understand the information”之后,指代前文提到的“information”,即如果你不理解信息,记忆技巧几乎不起作用。
3.第三段明确指出:“only a regular review can make the memory last long”,因此定期复习的目的是让记忆保持长久。
4.最后一段指出:“Human brains are like muscles that need nutrition and exercise to become stronger.”,而D选项说“Human brains don’t need nutrition and exercise”与原文意思相反。
5.文章第一段提出“Can memory be improved?”并给出肯定答案,随后从生活方式和记忆技巧两方面说明如何提升记忆力。最后一段总结:“you can certainly improve your memory”,因此文章主旨是记忆力可以通过某些方式得到提升。
Passage 2

Passage 4
(25-26九年级·湖北武汉荆州·一模)
Have you ever made a decision but still felt unsure? Maybe you wrote a message but paused (停顿) before sending it, or chose clothes but kept changing your mind. In a world that values quick actions, hesitation (犹豫) is often seen as a weakness. But what if it is actually a wise guide?
Our minds and bodies work together. When we hesitate, it might be a sign that we need to pay attention to something important. Imagine standing in front of a door but not wanting to open it. Your body could be telling you about possible dangers your mind hasn’t fully noticed. This hesitation isn’t always fear — it might mean we need more time or information to make a better choice.
Hesitation can also come from our intuition (直觉). It helps us know what is truly right. For example, if you feel nervous about joining a competition even when you are fully prepared, ask yourself: Is this fear from past failures, or is your intuition warning you about real danger? ______. Pretend you have already chosen to join and notice how your body reacts (反应)— Does it feel light and calm, or heavy and worried?
Here’s how to use hesitation wisely: First, slow down. If a decision feels too big, sleep on it and think again the next day. Second, talk to friends you trust or write down your thoughts. Their advice or your own words might show hidden worries or new ideas. Third, remember that hesitation is not failure. It is a tool to collect missing parts of the story before taking action.
In the end, hesitation teaches us to listen — not just to our thoughts, but to our whole self. Next time you pause, ask: What is my body or intuition trying to say? The answer might help you make wiser choices.
6.Why might we hesitate before entering a room according to the passage?
A.Because the body senses possible uneasiness.
B.Because the door is too heavy to open.
C.Because we want to get in quickly.
D.Because we need others to help us.
7.Which of the following can be put in ________?
A.To calm down, listen to music. B.To find out, try this simple test.
C.If you don’t think so, just do it. D.If you don’t know, ask a friend.
8.What does “sleep on it” mean in Paragraph 4?
A.Change decisions. B.Make quick choices.
C.Reconsider after rest. D.Forget the problem.
9.What does the author think of “hesitation”?
A.It leads to failure. B.It is a tool for better decisions.
C.It shows personal weakness. D.It wastes valuable time.
10.Which would be the best theme picture of the passage?
A. B.
C. D.
【答案】6.A 7.B 8.C 9.B 10.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了犹豫这一行为,指出在快节奏的社会中,犹豫常被视为弱点,但实际上它可能是智慧的指引。
6.细节理解题。根据“When we hesitate, it might be a sign that we need to pay attention to something important. Imagine standing in front of a door but not wanting to open it. Your body could be telling you about possible dangers your mind hasn’t fully noticed.”可知,我们在进入房间前犹豫可能是因为身体感觉到了可能的不安。故选A。
7.推理判断题。根据“if you feel nervous about joining a competition even when you are fully prepared, ask yourself: Is this fear from past failures, or is your intuition warning you about real danger?”和“Pretend you have already chosen to join and notice how your body reacts (反应)— Does it feel light and calm, or heavy and worried?”可知,此处是建议通过一个简单的测试来找出答案。选项B“为了找出答案,试试这个简单的测试。”符合语境。故选B。
8.词句猜测题。根据“If a decision feels too big, sleep on it and think again the next day.”可知,如果一个决定感觉太大,那么可以“sleep on it”,第二天再重新考虑。由此可以推断,“sleep on it”的意思是“休息后再重新考虑”。故选C。
9.观点态度题。根据“It is a tool to collect missing parts of the story before taking action.”可知,作者认为犹豫是做出更好决定的工具。故选B。
10.主旨大意题。文章主要探讨了犹豫的积极作用,并提供了如何明智地利用犹豫的建议。B项体现“犹豫”的主题,故选B。
Passage 5
(25-26九年级·湖北武汉江汉区·一模)
Maths is all around. Some love the challenge of working out maths problems, but many fear the moment when they have to deal with numbers and feel a real sense of confusion. This “maths anxiety” is perfectly normal, and you’re certainly not alone. And anyway, your worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect your ability.
The problem really starts in childhood, at school. Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may be more likely to be influenced. According to the Programme for International Student Assessment (评估), around 31% of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries got very nervous doing maths problems and nearly 60% said they worried maths classes would be difficult.
“ ★ .” Shulamit Kahn from Boston University’s Questrom School of Business says, “The key is to get people, especially women who love maths, to teach younger children.”
Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says, “It’s not clear why maths gives rise to so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s a right or wrong answer might make you more worried about underperforming. And once you believe you’re not a ‘maths person’, you may avoid solving things that you probably could do.”
Psychologists (心理学家) have been trying to find out why mental calculation (心算) can get people in a sweat. That may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fear clearly can loosen its hold on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat (威胁). So, just think positively about maths and give it a second chance!
46.If teachers are nervous about teaching maths, their students will ________.
A.love the challenge of working out maths problems B.be certainly not good at maths
C.often make mistakes in maths classes D.fee anxious in learning maths
47.Which of the following can be put in ★ ?
A.All girls think maths classes difficult
B.Giving students good role models is important, especially at a young age
C.The anxiety about maths depresses many people
D.Compared to women,men are more suitable to be maths teachers
48.What can be a result if one thinks he is not a “maths person”?
A.He might be doubtful about his ability. B.He may rise to challenges bravely.
C.He won’t see maths as a threat. D.He will study maths harder.
49.The underlined phrase “In a swear” in the last paragraph probably means “ ________”。
A.proud B.surprised C.frightened D.lonely
50.The best title for the passage would be “________”.
A.Numbers in Everyday Life B.Maths Education in Childhood
C.Should We Fear Maths? D.Be a “Maths Person”
【答案】46.D 47.B 48.A 49.C 50.C
【导语】本文主要讲述了很多人存在 “数学焦虑” 的现象,介绍了其产生的原因,如老师的影响等,还提到了一些应对的方法,鼓励人们积极面对数学。
46.细节理解题。根据“Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may be more likely to be influenced.”可知,如果老师对教数学感到紧张,他们的学生在学习数学时会感到焦虑。故选D。
47.推理判断题。根据“The key is to get people, especially women who love maths, to teach younger children.”可知,关键是要让热爱数学的人,尤其是女性去教年幼的孩子。由此可推断出,此处应强调给学生树立好榜样的重要性,特别是在他们年幼的时候。故选B。
48.细节理解题。根据“And once you believe you’re not a ‘maths person’, you may avoid solving things that you probably could do.”可知,一旦你认为自己不是一个“数学达人”,你可能会回避解决你可能能做的事情,这意味着他可能会怀疑自己的能力。故选A。
49.词句猜测题。根据“Psychologists have been trying to find out why mental calculation can get people in a sweat. That may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fear clearly can loosen its hold on you”可知,心理学家一直在试图找出为什么心算会让人“in a sweat”,并且提到表达你的恐惧可以减轻它对你的影响,由此可推测“in a sweat”意思是“害怕的、恐惧的”,与“frightened”意思相近,故选C。
50.主旨大意题。文章主要围绕很多人对数学存在恐惧和焦虑的现象展开,分析了原因并提出了一些应对方法,鼓励人们积极面对数学,因此选项C“我们应该害怕数学吗?”作为标题最合适,故选C。
Passage 6
(25-26九年级·湖北武汉江汉区·二模)
Have you ever heard of e-waste (电子垃圾), which can be produced every day? How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they’re broken or you want a new one?
Most people just throw them away. With the development of electronic industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41. 8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6. 5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.
It’s important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful, depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine (城市矿山). The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals (有毒化学物质) can get into the earth or air, affecting the environment and people’s health.
Apple, for example, now recycles people’s used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce e-waste, we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs.
56.The following can become e-waste EXCEPT ________.
A.computers B.mobile phones C.plastic bags D.MP4 players
57.Which country produced the second most e-waste in 2014?
A.America. B.China. C.Japan. D.France.
58.The underlined word “affecting” means ________ in Chinese.
A.保护 B.提高 C.改善 D.影响
59.We can ________ to reduce e-waste.
A.sell the metals B.throw away the used products
C.buy more cheap mobile phones D.take used products to recycling programs
60.The main purpose of this passage is to ________.
A.prove that e-waste is useless
B.encourage people to buy more electronic products
C.advise people to deal with e-waste properly to reduce pollution
D.tell us that e-waste is becoming less
【答案】56.C 57.B 58.D 59.D 60.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了电子垃圾的现状、危害以及如何正确处理电子垃圾以减少污染。
56.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they’re broken or you want a new one?”可知,电脑、手机和MP4播放器都可能成为电子垃圾,而塑料袋未被提及。故选C。
57.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“China came second, with 6 million tons.”可知,中国是第二大电子垃圾生产国。故选B。
58.词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals (有毒化学物质) can get into the earth or air, affecting the environment and people’s health.”可知,有毒化学物质进入土壤或空气后,会对环境和人类健康造成负面影响。因此“affecting”意为“影响”。故选D。
59.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“To help reduce e-waste, we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs.”可知,将旧电子产品送到回收项目是减少电子垃圾的有效方法。故选D。

AI has already been used in many different fields. And now, this technology has made a difference in the lives of missing children.
In Hubei, a group of 30 university students are working on a special project. They have developed an AI system that restores old photos. The clearer photos allow them to better find missing people. Over the past three years, the team has restored more than 1,000 photos. They have helped 11 families with missing children successfully. Thanks to the AI programme, in December 2021, a father found his missing son after 14 years of searching. The father was moved to tears with the help of the programme. The case got a lot of media (媒体) attention after a movie Dearest came out in 2014.
The project was set up by a university student, Sheng in 2020. One day, he happened to see a missing child notice. The photos on the notice were hard to make out. “Even if the child is present, the photos may not be of any use,” he said. As a result, Sheng decided to use his knowledge to help families with missing children. To his surprise, many of his schoolmates volunteered to join him. After six months’ hard work, the team managed to develop an AI system for restoring old photos.
In the future, Sheng plans to put together a more skilled team to run the programme. His goal is not just to improve the technology. More importantly, he would like to see more young people join the public service. Sheng is confident that this team will be able to create more wonders.

Passage 8
(25-26九年级·湖北孝感·一模)
With the development of technology, online learning has become more and more popular. More and more students are choosing to study online. Online learning has both advantages and disadvantages.
One of the biggest advantages of online learning is flexibility. Students can study at any time and any place as long as they have a computer and the Internet. They don’t need to go to school or training institutions. This is very convenient for students who have other things to do, such as working or taking care of their families.
Another advantage is that online learning provides a wide range of courses. Students can choose courses from different schools and teachers all over the world. They can learn what they are interested in and what they need. Online courses are usually cheaper than traditional courses. This can save students a lot of money.
However, online learning also has some disadvantages. First, it requires students to have strong self-discipline. Without the supervision of teachers and classmates, some students may not study hard. They may be distracted by other things, such as playing computer games or watching videos.
Second, online learning lacks face-to-face communication. Students can’t interact with teachers and classmates directly. This may affect their learning experience. Some students may feel lonely and lose interest in learning.
Third, online learning is dependent on technology. If the computer or the Internet breaks down, students can’t continue their study. This will affect their learning progress.
In conclusion, online learning has both good and bad sides. Students should consider their own situation before choosing online learning. They should make full use of its advantages and try to avoid its disadvantages. Only in this way can they get the most out of online learning.
26.What is one of the biggest advantages of online learning?

Passage 9
(25-26九年级·湖北襄阳市襄州区·一模)
Do you know the five main senses we have? They are touch, taste, sight, smell and hearing. They are controlled by different parts of our brains. So we call the brain our built-in “BeiDou”. Brains help our bodies work smoothly. Try this: close your eyes and touch your nose. It’s easy, right? That’s because our brains can receive messages about where our body parts are. We can also stand on one leg without falling down. If we lose our balance, our brains will give us orders to fix it.
★ . Tests show that people see spider pictures faster than flowers. Some researchers also found that people react (作出反应) to loud noises faster than to a friend’s voice. Scientists aren’t completely sure about the reasons. Some suggest that this skill might come from ancient times. Our ancestors were often faced with predators. So they had to protect themselves from dangerous animals like spiders and tigers, or they would lose their lives. Until today, we still jump at sudden noises or shadows (影子) in dark rooms.
Here is more about brains. Can you imagine seeing colors when you hear music, or tasting candy when you see the sunshine? It’s called sense mixing. Scientists think this happens when different senses intermingle (相互交织). Another fact is that temperature sometimes influences our senses. Some people can feel storms coming through knee pain. So we often joke that we’re “human weather apps”. Also, our brains are able to make adjustment (调整) to some senses. If someone can’t see well, his hearing or touch might become stronger.
Though scientists have done much research on the brain, there’s still a lot to do. Have you ever wondered why some people are better at sports? What’s the secret to improving memory? Then it’s time for you to start your discovering journey.
16.What do the two examples in the first paragraph show?
A.Brains help our bodies work well. B.Human brains are different.
C.Humans can touch their noses easily. D.People have many living habits.
17.Which of the following can be put in ★ ?
A.It’s fun to study our ancestors’ life B.It’s easy to learn about senses
C.Animals help people in many ways D.Brains are also life-saving heroes
18.Which animal in the following pictures is probably a “predator”?
A. B. C. D.
19.According to paragraph 3, what might happen if your senses mix?
A.You can tie your shoes without looking.
B.You taste sweetness when seeing an apple.
C.You jump when someone shouts suddenly.
D.You feel pain in your knees before the rain comes.
20.What is the writing purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To improve people’s memory. B.To encourage brain studies.
C.To show the value of our brains. D.To admire scientists’ efforts.
【答案】16.A 17.D 18.A 19.B 20.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人类大脑的多种功能及其对感官的调控作用。
16.细节理解题。根据“Brains help our bodies work smoothly. Try this: close your eyes and touch your nose. It’s easy, right? That’s because our brains can receive messages about where our body parts are. We can also stand on one leg without falling down. If we lose our balance, our brains will give us orders to fix it.”可知,第一段中的两个例子表明大脑帮助我们的身体正常工作。故选A。
17.推理判断题。根据“Tests show that people see spider pictures faster than flowers. Some researchers also found that people react to loud noises faster than to a friend’s voice. Scientists aren’t completely sure about the reasons. Some suggest that this skill might come from ancient times. Our ancestors were often faced with predators. So they had to protect themselves from dangerous animals like spiders and tigers, or they would lose their lives.”可知,此段主要讲大脑在面对危险时能快速做出反应,保护我们的生命,所以选项D“大脑也是救命英雄”可以放在★处,作为此段的主题句。故选D。
18.词句猜测题。根据“Some suggest that this skill might come from ancient times. Our ancestors were often faced with predators. So they had to protect themselves from dangerous animals like spiders and tigers, or they would lose their lives.”可知,祖先常常面临捕食者,所以他们必须保护自己免受蜘蛛和老虎等危险动物的伤害,否则就会丧命。由此可推测出,捕食者指的是危险动物,会捕食其他动物。选项A老虎符合题意。故选A。
19.细节理解题。根据“Can you imagine seeing colors when you hear music, or tasting candy when you see the sunshine? It’s called sense mixing.”可知,感官混合是指当你听到音乐时能看到颜色,或者当你看到阳光时能尝到糖果的味道。因此,如果你的感官混合了,你可能会在看到苹果时尝到甜味。故选B。
20.主旨大意题。根据“Though scientists have done much research on the brain, there’s still a lot to do. Have you ever wondered why some people are better at sports? What’s the secret to improving memory? Then it’s time for you to start your discovering journey.”可知,最后一段的写作目的是鼓励读者继续探索大脑的奥秘,进行大脑研究。故选B。

I don’t think many people have been in a situation like the one Lily and I experienced last winter. We were 16 to snowboard for the first time in the great and beautiful mountains of Austria. Of course, many things can go 17 when you’re new to an extreme sport (极限运动), but what happened to us was very 18 . The old saying “there’s a first time for everything” is 19 true based on (依据) our experience!
We’d booked lessons before we arrived, and were both feeling quite nervous 20 we took the lift up the mountain with Max, our coach. “Don’t worry,” he said. “You might 21 a bit, but you’ll love it!” The first 22 was really challenging and we fell onto the ground many times! By the end of the first day, we were very 23 but, as promised, we’d had a great time and fallen totally in love with snowboarding.
The following day, Max was showing how to turn. As our eyes followed him down the slope (斜坡), he 24 disappeared. “Where did he go?” I asked Lily, as we headed for where he’d disappeared. We discovered Max at the 25 of a big hole. “I think it’s broken,” he said, 26 his left leg. We called for help on his radio and twenty minutes later the three of us were in a helicopter (直升机) heading for the 27 centre.
I’m pretty sure we 28 the helicopter ride more than poor Max! After examining Max’s body, the 29 was sure that he had broken his leg. She said it was the first time she’d ever 30 learners bring their coach in for treatment.
What an unforgettable experience we had! And yes, it’s true that there’s a first time for everything.

Passage 8
(25-26九年级·湖北武汉汉阳区·一模)
The summer I turned thirteen, Grandma taught me the most valuable lesson through a handful of dry peas (豌豆).
“Shall we 161 them up?” Grandma’s eyes shone with secrets. Her warm hands guided mine as we planted the seeds (种子) in the soil together. “Patience is the 162 to all good things,” she said in a low voice.
For three weeks, I watered the planting area 163 , checking every morning with schoolbag still on my shoulders. However, days passed and there was no sign of sprouts (新芽). 164 washed over me. “Maybe they’re too old,” I suggested, 165 to give up the project. Grandma smiled confidently, “Let’s give them seven more sunrises.”
On the sixth day, new green sprouts 166 through the soil like treasures. From then on, I hurried to the garden before breakfast every day, 167 a notebook in one hand to draw tiny leaves. When insects came, we thought about 168 to do and created a special insect killer—garlic (大蒜) water. Through sunny and rainy days, the plants gradually grew wildly.
It took months and seasons of 169 waiting for peas to grow up. Nature shows me the growing rule. That’s when I realized answers 170 only after weeks of continuous practice.
One day while watering the peas, Grandma pointed to the plants near the fence (栅栏)and said, “Look how the strongest peas grow here. They had to work the 171 because the fence took away most sunlight here.” The truth shocked me like summer rain – 172 positions never lead to meaningful growth.
Life’s most beautiful changes begin underground long before we see any growth. The 173 growth of peas is like every dream in its way. We’re all seeds carrying unknown possibilities, requiring not just time but true patience and day-by-day efforts.
When my younger cousin 174 her paintings recently, I gave her a pea packet and Grandma’s golden 175 : “Don’t give up too soon.”
