Start with 2 tablespoons of water. Add a little water or flour when necessary. A well-mixed dough (面团) should not stick to your hands too much. ★Knead Spread a little flour on your table and knead the dough. Hit, fold, and pull it until it’s smooth. Smooth doughs lead to chewier noodles. ★Rest Cover the dough and let it sit for about 30 minutes. This lets the dough develop. ★Roll Spread some flour on the table. Cut your dough ball into 4 pieces. Take one piece at a time, and roll it out with a rolling pin, as thin as you can. ★Cut When it’s pretty thin, cut your noodles narrow, thick, or whatever shape you like! Some people fold the dough before cutting, so it’s easier to make straight lines. When ready, unfold the noodles or they’ll stick! ★Cook You can cook your noodles right away or dry them for an hour for a bit chewier noodles. Cook fresh noodles in a pot of boiling water for just a few minutes. Fresh noodles cook much faster than dry ones. How long will depend on how thick your noodles are—thicker noodles take longer.

Short video apps like TikTok and Instagram Reels have become a big part of teenagers’ lives around the world. These platforms allow users to create, edit, and share videos that are usually 15 to 60 seconds long. They offer everything from dance challenges and science experiments to language learning tips and news updates. For many students, short videos are not just entertainment (娱乐)—they’re also a way to express themselves, learn new skills, and connect with friends. However, experts are studying how these apps affect young people. One recent survey found that the average teenager spends about 90 minutes daily watching short videos. While some content is educational, spending too much time scrolling (刷屏) can reduce time for homework, sports or sleep. Another worry is that algorithms (运算法则) might show users only what they like, creating “information bubbles” that limit what they see. To use short video apps wisely, here are some suggestions: ※ Set a daily time limit（for example, 30 minutes）. ※ Follow accounts (账号) that teach useful skills or share positive stories. ※ Be careful about sharing personal information. ※ Remember that many videos show only the highlights of someone’s life, not the whole picture. The key is balance. Short videos can be a fun tool for relaxation and learning if used mindfully. As one middle school teacher said, “Technology itself isn’t good or bad, it’s how we choose to use it that matters.” 31．What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A．All short videos are educational. B．Making short videos is very difficult. C．Short videos are only for entertainment. D．Short videos have different uses for teenagers. 32．According to the survey mentioned, what is the average daily time teenagers spend on short videos? A．30 minutes. B．60 minutes. C．90 minutes. D．120 minutes. 33．What does “information bubbles” mean in the third paragraph? A．Video storage space. B．A type of educational video C．A tool to protect users’ privacy. D．Only seeing content that matches your interests. 34．Which suggestion is NOT given in the text for using short video apps wisely? A．Only watch videos at night. B．Set a daily time limit. C．Follow educational accounts. D．Protect personal information. 35．What can we learn from the teacher’s words in the last paragraph? A．Technology always brings trouble. B．Students should stay away from video apps. C．Short videos are good for daily study. D．The way we use technology is the most important. 【答案】31．D 32．C 33．D 34．A 35．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了短视频在青少年中的普及情况及其多种用途，同时指出专家担忧的问题，并给出了合理使用短视频的建议，最后强调平衡使用技术的重要性。 31．第二段指出：“They offer everything from dance challenges and science experiments to language learning tips and news updates. For many students, short videos are not just entertainment — they’re also a way to express themselves, learn new skills, and connect with friends.”，这段话列举了短视频的多种内容（舞蹈、科学实验、语言学习等），并说明它们不仅是娱乐，还能表达自我、学习技能和社交。因此，本段主要说明短视频对青少年有多种用途。 32．第三段提到：“One recent survey found that the average teenager spends about 90 minutes daily watching short videos.”，直接给出了青少年平均每天花费90分钟看短视频。 33．第三段中：“Another worry is that algorithms might show users only what they like, creating ‘information bubbles’ that limit what they see.”，这里解释了算法只推送用户喜欢的内容，从而形成“信息茧房”，限制视野。因此“information bubbles”指的是“Only seeing content that matches your interests.”。 34．第四段列出了使用短视频应用的几条建议：“Set a daily time limit… Follow accounts that teach useful skills… Be careful about sharing personal information… Remember that many videos show only the highlights…” 其中没有提到“Only watch videos at night”，因此该选项不是文中给出的建议。 35．最后一段引用一位中学老师的话：“Technology itself isn’t good or bad it’s how we choose to use it that matters.”，这句话强调技术本身无好坏，关键在于如何使用，因此可以得出“The way we use technology is the most important.”。 C ①Last weekend, my dad asked me to garden with him together in the backyard. I wasn’t too excited about it, as I’d rather be playing video games indoors. But Dad insisted, so we gathered outside with seeds and gardening tools. ②We started by planting seeds. Dad handed me a packet of sunflower seeds and a small shovel. “Plant them about an inch deep,” he instructed. I followed along, feeling the soil between my fingers, and soon we had a row of seeds waiting to sprout (发芽). ③Days passed, and nothing seemed to happen. I was about to lose hope, thinking the seeds were just a waste. But then, a gentle reminder came, “Be patient. Good things take time.” A week later, tiny green shoots came out of the soil. I was amazed and ran to show everyone. ④As the sunflowers grew taller, Dad taught me how to take good care of them. “Just like these plants, you also need care and love to grow,” he said. I began to understand how my parents support and care for me behind my growth. ⑤One stormy night, the tallest sunflower broke. I felt very upset. Sitting beside me, a comforting voice said, “Sometimes, even the strongest can fall. But remember, they can still bloom, just a bit lower to the ground.” ⑥That day, I was encouraged to be patient and resilient (有韧性的). The sunflowers taught me that growth isn’t always easy, sometimes we need to bend and just be strong when facing every challenge. 36．What did the author do when he found the seeds began to sprout? A．He throw them away as waste. B．He presented them to everyone. C．He planted more seeds immediately. D．He worried about the sprout’s future. 37．What does the underlined part “just a bit lower to the ground” imply (暗示)? A．The sunflower will continue to grow. B．The sunflower will never bloom again. C．The sunflower will not grow any taller. D．The sunflower will be easier to care for now. 38．How did the author’s feelings change throughout the story? A．Bored→Ashamed→Excited→Annoyed→Upset→Thankful B．Excited→Bored→Thankful→Angry→Doubtful→Encouraged C．Hopeful→Disappointed→Surprised→Understanding→Upset→Patient D．Uninterested→Hopeless→Amazed→Understanding→Sad→Encouraged 39．What is the best structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1…) A．①/②③④⑤/⑥ B．①②/③④/⑤⑥ C．①/②③④/⑤⑥ D．①②③④⑤/⑥ 40．What did the author learn from the experience with the sunflowers? A．All the plants can grow very quickly. B．Gardening is always a simple task. C．Patience and care are important for growth. D．Video games are more interesting than gardening. 【答案】36．B 37．A 38．D 39．A 40．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者和父亲一起在后院种植向日葵的经历，以及从这一过程中所学到的人生道理。 36．细节理解题。根据第三段“I was amazed and ran to show everyone.”可知，当作者看到种子发芽时，感到很惊讶，并跑过去展示给每个人看，即“把发芽的种子展示给每个人看”。选项B“他把它们展示给每个人看”符合题意。故选B。 37．词句猜测题。根据第五段爸爸的话“Sometimes, even the strongest can fall. But remember, they can still bloom, just a bit lower to the ground.”可知，即使最坚强的向日葵也会倒下，但它们仍然可以在接近地面的地方开花，即“向日葵将继续生长”。 故选A。 38．细节理解题。阅读全文，根据第一段中“I wasn’t too excited about it”可知，作者一开始对园艺不感兴趣；根据第三段中“I was about to lose hope”可知，作者在种子没有发芽时感到绝望；根据第三段中“I was amazed and ran to show everyone”可知，种子发芽后作者感到惊讶；根据第四段中“I began to understand how my parents support and care for me behind my growth”可知，作者开始理解父母的关爱；根据第五段“I felt very upset”可知，向日葵被风吹断后作者感到难过；根据第六段中“That day, I was encouraged to be patient and resilient”可知，作者最后受到了鼓励，变得有耐心。因此，作者的情感变化是“不感兴趣→绝望→惊讶→理解→悲伤→受到鼓励”，选项D正确。故选D。 39．篇章结构题。阅读全文可知，第一段主要讲述作者和父亲开始在后院种植；第二至五段详细描述了种植向日葵的过程以及作者的情感变化；第六段总结了作者从这一经历中学到的人生道理。因此，文章的结构是“总—分—总”，即①/②③④⑤/⑥。故选A。 40．推理判断题。根据第六段“That day, I was encouraged to be patient and resilient. The sunflowers taught me that growth isn’t always easy, sometimes we need to bend and just be strong when facing every challenge.”以及全文内容可知，作者从种植向日葵的经历中学到了耐心和坚韧的重要性，即“耐心和关爱对成长很重要”。故选C。 D Twenty years ago, a new version (版本) of The Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), a great work of Chinese Kunqu Opera that includes music, poetry, beautiful clothes, and smooth actions, came out in Taiwan, China, causing great excitement and then touring worldwide. This was not a usual version. Known as the youth version of The Peony Pavilion, it hoped to bring new life into the traditional art form. “Many young people saw Kunqu for the first time through this play and later fell in love with it,” said Bai Xianyong, the producer of the play. Actually, Bai’s love for bringing back Kunqu wasn’t an accident. “At that time, many Kunqu masters were nearing retirement (退休), and there was a real danger that this art form would face a lack (缺乏) of skill and tradition,” Bai said. “To make it stay active, we need to attract young people back to the theater as soon as possible.” In 2003, a group of young actors and actresses in their 20s joined Bai’s training camp to learn Kunqu’s skills. “The main actor practiced walking on knees until his knees were hurt, and the main actress wore out (磨坏) more than ten pairs of shoes during the training,” Bai said. “Finally, in 2006, the play triumphed across four University of California schools, with a full house at each show. Many students recommended the opera to their family and friends, and some began researching Kunqu’s history for their school projects.” Recently, Bai opened a personal account (账号) online, where he shares his thoughts with over 95,000 fans. “I want to know what young people in China think about traditional culture and hear their voices,” said Bai. “We have entered the age of AI. In this fast-changing world, it is highly important for young people to value traditional Chinese culture. The base of Chinese culture must be strong to prevent it from being controlled by high technology.” 41．What was special about Bai Xianyong’s version of The Peony Pavilion? A．It came out by accident.

It was as if we were about to learn the secret of Grandma’s cookies. The answer, to our surprise, was pen and paper. “The materials are no different from those of a beginner calligrapher,” the teacher explained. “The difference between a beginner and a professional calligrapher is not in the tools they use, but in the professional’s effort to practice and the time they spend learning and improving. The truth goes for any expert (专家) in their field.” Most of us look up to the experts and think that better tools or more resources (资源) make them successful. But we never think about the time and hard work they spend learning new things and reaching their goals. Instead, we want to take shortcuts (捷径) to make progress as quickly as possible. But this will not help us in the long run. My dream is to become an excellent filmmaker. What would it take? What would I need to make the best movies? I, too, wanted the shortcut-the direct way to achieve my dream. Is there a certain camera I need to have, light kit (工具箱), microphone or skill that would lead me right to success? After watching online videos about filmmaking, I became aware that I had all that I needed to achieve my dream. There was no shortcut to filmmaking. It was just going to take time. It’s easy to waste time looking for easy ways instead of practicing. In the end, we lose energy and hope when we look for the right tools or answers. We do things to go fast rather than far. We fix our mind on the end result instead of enjoying the journey. Go for it. Reach farther. Take the time to become your better self. The writer’s ideas Nothing but a pen and paper is 46 to become a professional calligrapher. The 47 between a beginner and an expert lies not in the tools. Instead, it lies in the effort and the time they 48 to learning and improving. This is 49 in any field. Most people’s thoughts It is better tools or more resources (资源) that 50 experts success. They want to take shortcuts instead of practicing. Results They feel 51 and hopeless when looking for the right tools or answers. They do things to go fast rather than far. They paid attention to the end result instead of enjoying the journey. My 52 I dream of 53 an excellent filmmaker. At first, I wanted the direct way to achieve my dream. Then I 54 I already had all the tools I needed, but what I really needed was effort and time. Advice Keep trying. Reach farther. Make time to 55 yourself. 【答案】 46．necessary/needed 47．difference 48．devote 49．true 50．bring 51．tired/weak 52．story/experience/example 53．becoming/being 54．realized/kne /understood 55．improve/better 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者通过一节书法课获得的成长感悟。 46．第一段指出：“What do I need to become a professional (专业的) calligrapher?...The answer, to our surprise, was pen and paper.”，直接表明成为专业书法家只需要纸和笔，此处表示“必需的”，可以填needed和is构成被动语态，也可以填necessary作表语。 47．第二段指出：“The difference between a beginner and a professional calligrapher is not in the tools they use”，直接表明初学者和专家之间的区别不在于工具，所以填“difference”。 48．第二段指出：“but in the professional’s effort to practice and the time they spend learning and improving”，说明专家与初学者的差异在于他们投入在学习和提升上的时间和努力。空格处需填入表示“投入”的动词，且句子结构为“the time they…to learning...”，因此应填入“devote”。 49．第二段指出：“The truth goes for any expert (专家) in their field.”，直接表明这个道理适用于任何领域，所以填“true”。 50．第三段指出：“Most of us look up to the experts and think that better tools or more resources make them successful.”，说明大多数人认为更好的工具或更多资源带来专家的成功。空格处需填入表示“带来；促成”的动词，且句子为强调句，因此应填入“bring”。 51．第六段指出：“In the end, we lose energy and hope when we look for the right tools or answers.”，直接表明寻找工具或答案时会感到疲惫或虚弱且无望，tired即疲惫的，weak表示虚弱。因此应填入“tired/weak”。 52．表格左侧内容围绕作者的梦想、最初的想法和后来的感悟展开，因此左侧空格需填入表示“经历；故事；例子”的词，应填“story/experience/example”。 53．第五段指出：“My dream is to become an excellent filmmaker.”，说明作者梦想成为一名优秀的电影制作人。空格处需填入表示“成为”的动词，且“dream of”后接动名词，因此应填入“becoming/being”。 54．第五段指出：“After watching online videos about filmmaking, I became aware that I had all that I needed to achieve my dream.”，说明作者后来意识/知道/理解到自己已经拥有了实现梦想所需的工具。空格处需填入表示“意识到/知道/理解”的动词，动词用过去式，因此应填入“realized/knew/understood”。 55．最后一段指出：“Take the time to become your better self.”，即花时间提升自己，或使自己更好，所以应填“improve /better”。 五、综合填空 (共10空；每空1. 5分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处根据所给首字母填入一个单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Do you sometimes find it hard to talk to your parents? You’re not alone. Communication is a two-way street, and it requires effort from both sides. Here are some tips to build 56 better relationship with them. First, choose the right moment. Avoid bringing up a difficult topic when your parents are 57 (stress) or in a hurry. Instead, find a quiet time, like during a family walk after dinner. This simple 58 (choose) can make a big difference in how your message is received. Second, listen 59 (active). Don’t just wait for your turn to speak. Try to understand their opinions. Show that you 60 (listen) by nodding or saying “I see.” This shows respect for their feelings, even if you disagree with their opinion. Third, use “I” instead of “You”. For example, say “I feel worried when I get poor grades” rather than “You are too strict about my lessons.” This helps avoid sounding 61 you’re blaming (责备) them. 62 (four), be honest but respectful. If you made a mistake, admit it. If you have a different opinion, express it calmly. Remember, the purpose is not 63 (win) an argument. You just want to find a better way to solve the problem. Finally, 64 a conversation becomes too heated, it’s okay to take a break. You can say, “I need a few minutes to calm down. Can we talk about this later?” This shows maturity (成熟), not avoidance. Good communication can turn a possible conflict (争执) into a chance to get 65 (close). It takes practice, but the reward—a stronger, more trusting relationship—is well worth the effort. 【答案】 56．a 57．stressed 58．choice 59．actively 60．are listening 61．like 62．Fourth 63．to win 64．if/when 65．closer 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了如何与父母建立更好的沟通关系。文章通过列举具体的建议，如选择合适的时机、积极倾听、使用“我”而不是“你”、诚实但尊重以及在必要时暂停对话等，帮助读者改善与父母的交流，从而建立更紧密、更信任的关系。 56．句意：这里有一些与他们建立更好关系的建议。根据空格后的“better relationship”，可知此处需要一个不定冠词来修饰单数可数名词“relationship”。由于“better”是以辅音音素开头的单词，因此应使用“a”。 57．句意：当你的父母感到压力大或匆忙时，避免提出一个困难的话题。根据空格前的“are”和空格后的“or in a hurry”，可知此处需要一个形容词来描述父母的状态。 58．句意：这个简单的选择会在你的信息被接收的方式上产生很大的不同。根据空格前的“This simple”，可知此处需要一个名词。 59．句意：其次，积极倾听。根据空格前的“listen”和空格后的句号，可知此处需要一个副词来修饰动词“listen”。 60．句意：通过点头或说“我明白了”来表明你正在倾听。根据空格前的“you”和空格后的“by nodding or saying ‘I see.’”，可知此处需要一个动词的现在进行时态来表示正在进行的动作。 61．句意：这有助于避免听起来像是你在责备他们。根据空格前的“sounding”和空格后的“you’re blaming them”，可知此处需要一个连词来引导宾语从句。“like”可以作为连词，意为“好像；如同”，符合语境。 62．句意：第四，要诚实但尊重。根据空格后的“be honest but respectful”，可知此处需要一个序数词来表示顺序。 63．句意：记住，目的不是赢得争论。根据空格前的“is not”和空格后的“an argument”，可知此处需要一个动词不定式来作表语。 64．句意：最后，如果/当对话变得过于激烈，休息一下是可以的。根据空格后的“a conversation becomes too heated, it’s okay to take a break”，可知此处需要一个连词来引导条件/时间状语从句。“if”可以作为连词，意为“如果”，when“当……时”也符合语境。 65．句意：良好的沟通可以将可能的争执转化为亲近的机会。根据空格前的“get”和空格后的“close”，可知此处需要一个形容词的比较级形式来表示程度的变化。 六、书面表达(满分25分) 66．为丰富学生的学校生活，你校拟开设一间学生活动室。校英语报登载了供选择的四种活动室名称，向全校学生征求意见。假设你是李华，请根据以下提示给校英语报投稿，谈谈你的想法和建议。 Reading Corner (读者之家) DIY Workshop (DIY 工坊) Sports Centre (运动天地) Heart-to-heart Room (心灵驿站) 内容要点： 1. 你最喜欢的一种活动室； 2. 选择这种活动室的理由 (至少2点)； 3. 你认为该活动室可以开展哪些活动?请给出1-2点建议 (时间、内容等)。 注意： 1. 要点齐全，可适当拓展； 2. 文中不得使用真实的个人姓名或学校名称； 3. 词数 100字左右，文章开头已给出，不计入总词数。 I am Li Hua, a student from Class 1, Grade 9.

Start with 2 tablespoons of water. Add a little water or flour when necessary. A well-mixed dough (面团) should not stick to your hands too much. ★Knead Spread a little flour on your table and knead the dough. Hit, fold, and pull it until it’s smooth. Smooth doughs lead to chewier noodles. ★Rest Cover the dough and let it sit for about 30 minutes. This lets the dough develop. ★Roll Spread some flour on the table. Cut your dough ball into 4 pieces. Take one piece at a time, and roll it out with a rolling pin, as thin as you can. ★Cut When it’s pretty thin, cut your noodles narrow, thick, or whatever shape you like! Some people fold the dough before cutting, so it’s easier to make straight lines. When ready, unfold the noodles or they’ll stick! ★Cook You can cook your noodles right away or dry them for an hour for a bit chewier noodles. Cook fresh noodles in a pot of boiling water for just a few minutes. Fresh noodles cook much faster than dry ones. How long will depend on how thick your noodles are—thicker noodles take longer. Eat up! 26．What do you need to make noodles according to the passage? A．Milk. B．Honey. C．Salt. D．Butter. 27．Which tool do you need to roll the dough?

B．Kids who like home cooking. C．Adults who like healthy eating. D．Adults who like bread making. B Have you noticed how many of your classmates share funny short videos during breaks? Short video apps like TikTok and Instagram Reels have become a big part of teenagers’ lives around the world. These platforms allow users to create, edit, and share videos that are usually 15 to 60 seconds long. They offer everything from dance challenges and science experiments to language learning tips and news updates. For many students, short videos are not just entertainment (娱乐)—they’re also a way to express themselves, learn new skills, and connect with friends. However, experts are studying how these apps affect young people. One recent survey found that the average teenager spends about 90 minutes daily watching short videos. While some content is educational, spending too much time scrolling (刷屏) can reduce time for homework, sports or sleep. Another worry is that algorithms (运算法则) might show users only what they like, creating “information bubbles” that limit what they see. To use short video apps wisely, here are some suggestions: ※ Set a daily time limit（for example, 30 minutes）. ※ Follow accounts (账号) that teach useful skills or share positive stories. ※ Be careful about sharing personal information. ※ Remember that many videos show only the highlights of someone’s life, not the whole picture. The key is balance. Short videos can be a fun tool for relaxation and learning if used mindfully. As one middle school teacher said, “Technology itself isn’t good or bad, it’s how we choose to use it that matters.” 31．What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A．All short videos are educational. B．Making short videos is very difficult. C．Short videos are only for entertainment. D．Short videos have different uses for teenagers. 32．According to the survey mentioned, what is the average daily time teenagers spend on short videos? A．30 minutes. B．60 minutes. C．90 minutes. D．120 minutes. 33．What does “information bubbles” mean in the third paragraph? A．Video storage space. B．A type of educational video C．A tool to protect users’ privacy. D．Only seeing content that matches your interests. 34．Which suggestion is NOT given in the text for using short video apps wisely? A．Only watch videos at night. B．Set a daily time limit. C．Follow educational accounts. D．Protect personal information. 35．What can we learn from the teacher’s words in the last paragraph? A．Technology always brings trouble. B．Students should stay away from video apps. C．Short videos are good for daily study. D．The way we use technology is the most important. C ①Last weekend, my dad asked me to garden with him together in the backyard. I wasn’t too excited about it, as I’d rather be playing video games indoors. But Dad insisted, so we gathered outside with seeds and gardening tools. ②We started by planting seeds. Dad handed me a packet of sunflower seeds and a small shovel. “Plant them about an inch deep,” he instructed. I followed along, feeling the soil between my fingers, and soon we had a row of seeds waiting to sprout (发芽). ③Days passed, and nothing seemed to happen. I was about to lose hope, thinking the seeds were just a waste. But then, a gentle reminder came, “Be patient. Good things take time.” A week later, tiny green shoots came out of the soil. I was amazed and ran to show everyone. ④As the sunflowers grew taller, Dad taught me how to take good care of them. “Just like these plants, you also need care and love to grow,” he said. I began to understand how my parents support and care for me behind my growth. ⑤One stormy night, the tallest sunflower broke. I felt very upset. Sitting beside me, a comforting voice said, “Sometimes, even the strongest can fall. But remember, they can still bloom, just a bit lower to the ground.” ⑥That day, I was encouraged to be patient and resilient (有韧性的). The sunflowers taught me that growth isn’t always easy, sometimes we need to bend and just be strong when facing every challenge. 36．What did the author do when he found the seeds began to sprout? A．He throw them away as waste. B．He presented them to everyone. C．He planted more seeds immediately. D．He worried about the sprout’s future. 37．What does the underlined part “just a bit lower to the ground” imply (暗示)? A．The sunflower will continue to grow. B．The sunflower will never bloom again. C．The sunflower will not grow any taller. D．The sunflower will be easier to care for now. 38．How did the author’s feelings change throughout the story? A．Bored→Ashamed→Excited→Annoyed→Upset→Thankful B．Excited→Bored→Thankful→Angry→Doubtful→Encouraged C．Hopeful→Disappointed→Surprised→Understanding→Upset→Patient D．Uninterested→Hopeless→Amazed→Understanding→Sad→Encouraged 39．What is the best structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1…) A．①/②③④⑤/⑥ B．①②/③④/⑤⑥ C．①/②③④/⑤⑥ D．①②③④⑤/⑥ 40．What did the author learn from the experience with the sunflowers? A．All the plants can grow very quickly.

D Twenty years ago, a new version (版本) of The Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), a great work of Chinese Kunqu Opera that includes music, poetry, beautiful clothes, and smooth actions, came out in Taiwan, China, causing great excitement and then touring worldwide. This was not a usual version. Known as the youth version of The Peony Pavilion, it hoped to bring new life into the traditional art form. “Many young people saw Kunqu for the first time through this play and later fell in love with it,” said Bai Xianyong, the producer of the play. Actually, Bai’s love for bringing back Kunqu wasn’t an accident. “At that time, many Kunqu masters were nearing retirement (退休), and there was a real danger that this art form would face a lack (缺乏) of skill and tradition,” Bai said. “To make it stay active, we need to attract young people back to the theater as soon as possible.” In 2003, a group of young actors and actresses in their 20s joined Bai’s training camp to learn Kunqu’s skills. “The main actor practiced walking on knees until his knees were hurt, and the main actress wore out (磨坏) more than ten pairs of shoes during the training,” Bai said. “Finally, in 2006, the play triumphed across four University of California schools, with a full house at each show. Many students recommended the opera to their family and friends, and some began researching Kunqu’s history for their school projects.” Recently, Bai opened a personal account (账号) online, where he shares his thoughts with over 95,000 fans. “I want to know what young people in China think about traditional culture and hear their voices,” said Bai. “We have entered the age of AI. In this fast-changing world, it is highly important for young people to value traditional Chinese culture. The base of Chinese culture must be strong to prevent it from being controlled by high technology.” 41．What was special about Bai Xianyong’s version of The Peony Pavilion? A．It came out by accident. B．It attracted young people. C．It was a traditional art form. D．It invited well-known actors. 42．Why did Bai want to bring back Kunqu? A．To keep Kunqu culture alive. B．To remember Kunqu masters.

It was as if we were about to learn the secret of Grandma’s cookies. The answer, to our surprise, was pen and paper. “The materials are no different from those of a beginner calligrapher,” the teacher explained. “The difference between a beginner and a professional calligrapher is not in the tools they use, but in the professional’s effort to practice and the time they spend learning and improving. The truth goes for any expert (专家) in their field.” Most of us look up to the experts and think that better tools or more resources (资源) make them successful. But we never think about the time and hard work they spend learning new things and reaching their goals. Instead, we want to take shortcuts (捷径) to make progress as quickly as possible. But this will not help us in the long run. My dream is to become an excellent filmmaker. What would it take? What would I need to make the best movies? I, too, wanted the shortcut-the direct way to achieve my dream. Is there a certain camera I need to have, light kit (工具箱), microphone or skill that would lead me right to success? After watching online videos about filmmaking, I became aware that I had all that I needed to achieve my dream. There was no shortcut to filmmaking. It was just going to take time. It’s easy to waste time looking for easy ways instead of practicing. In the end, we lose energy and hope when we look for the right tools or answers. We do things to go fast rather than far. We fix our mind on the end result instead of enjoying the journey. Go for it. Reach farther. Take the time to become your better self. The writer’s ideas Nothing but a pen and paper is 46 to become a professional calligrapher. The 47 between a beginner and an expert lies not in the tools. Instead, it lies in the effort and the time they 48 to learning and improving. This is 49 in any field. Most people’s thoughts It is better tools or more resources (资源) that 50 experts success. They want to take shortcuts instead of practicing. Results They feel 51 and hopeless when looking for the right tools or answers. They do things to go fast rather than far. They paid attention to the end result instead of enjoying the journey. My 52 I dream of 53 an excellent filmmaker. At first, I wanted the direct way to achieve my dream. Then I 54 I already had all the tools I needed, but what I really needed was effort and time. Advice Keep trying. Reach farther. Make time to 55 yourself. 五、综合填空 (共10空；每空1. 5分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处根据所给首字母填入一个单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Do you sometimes find it hard to talk to your parents? You’re not alone. Communication is a two-way street, and it requires effort from both sides. Here are some tips to build 56 better relationship with them. First, choose the right moment. Avoid bringing up a difficult topic when your parents are 57 (stress) or in a hurry. Instead, find a quiet time, like during a family walk after dinner. This simple 58 (choose) can make a big difference in how your message is received. Second, listen 59 (active). Don’t just wait for your turn to speak. Try to understand their opinions. Show that you 60 (listen) by nodding or saying “I see.” This shows respect for their feelings, even if you disagree with their opinion. Third, use “I” instead of “You”. For example, say “I feel worried when I get poor grades” rather than “You are too strict about my lessons.” This helps avoid sounding 61 you’re blaming (责备) them. 62 (four), be honest but respectful. If you made a mistake, admit it. If you have a different opinion, express it calmly. Remember, the purpose is not 63 (win) an argument. You just want to find a better way to solve the problem. Finally, 64 a conversation becomes too heated, it’s okay to take a break. You can say, “I need a few minutes to calm down. Can we talk about this later?” This shows maturity (成熟), not avoidance. Good communication can turn a possible conflict (争执) into a chance to get 65 (close). It takes practice, but the reward—a stronger, more trusting relationship—is well worth the effort. 六、书面表达(满分25分) 81．为丰富学生的学校生活，你校拟开设一间学生活动室。校英语报登载了供选择的四种活动室名称，向全校学生征求意见。假设你是李华，请根据以下提示给校英语报投稿，谈谈你的想法和建议。 Reading Corner (读者之家) DIY Workshop (DIY 工坊) Sports Centre (运动天地) Heart-to-heart Room (心灵驿站) 内容要点： 1. 你最喜欢的一种活动室； 2. 选择这种活动室的理由 (至少2点)； 3. 你认为该活动室可以开展哪些活动?请给出1-2点建议 (时间、内容等)。 注意： 1. 要点齐全，可适当拓展； 2. 文中不得使用真实的个人姓名或学校名称； 3. 词数 100字左右，文章开头已给出，不计入总词数。 I am Li Hua, a student from Class 1, Grade 9.

Start with 2 tablespoons of water. Add a little water or flour when necessary. A well-mixed dough (面团) should not stick to your hands too much. ★Knead Spread a little flour on your table and knead the dough. Hit, fold, and pull it until it’s smooth. Smooth doughs lead to chewier noodles. ★Rest Cover the dough and let it sit for about 30 minutes. This lets the dough develop. ★Roll Spread some flour on the table. Cut your dough ball into 4 pieces. Take one piece at a time, and roll it out with a rolling pin, as thin as you can. ★Cut When it’s pretty thin, cut your noodles narrow, thick, or whatever shape you like! Some people fold the dough before cutting, so it’s easier to make straight lines. When ready, unfold the noodles or they’ll stick! ★Cook You can cook your noodles right away or dry them for an hour for a bit chewier noodles. Cook fresh noodles in a pot of boiling water for just a few minutes. Fresh noodles cook much faster than dry ones. How long will depend on how thick your noodles are—thicker noodles take longer. Eat up! 26．What do you need to make noodles according to the passage? A．Milk. B．Honey. C．Salt. D．Butter. 27．Which tool do you need to roll the dough? A． B． C． D． 28．Why do some people fold the dough before cutting? A．To make straight lines. B．To make funny shapes. C．To make thick noodles.

B．Kids who like home cooking. C．Adults who like healthy eating. D．Adults who like bread making. B Have you noticed how many of your classmates share funny short videos during breaks? Short video apps like TikTok and Instagram Reels have become a big part of teenagers’ lives around the world. These platforms allow users to create, edit, and share videos that are usually 15 to 60 seconds long. They offer everything from dance challenges and science experiments to language learning tips and news updates. For many students, short videos are not just entertainment (娱乐)—they’re also a way to express themselves, learn new skills, and connect with friends. However, experts are studying how these apps affect young people. One recent survey found that the average teenager spends about 90 minutes daily watching short videos. While some content is educational, spending too much time scrolling (刷屏) can reduce time for homework, sports or sleep. Another worry is that algorithms (运算法则) might show users only what they like, creating “information bubbles” that limit what they see. To use short video apps wisely, here are some suggestions: ※ Set a daily time limit（for example, 30 minutes）. ※ Follow accounts (账号) that teach useful skills or share positive stories. ※ Be careful about sharing personal information. ※ Remember that many videos show only the highlights of someone’s life, not the whole picture. The key is balance. Short videos can be a fun tool for relaxation and learning if used mindfully. As one middle school teacher said, “Technology itself isn’t good or bad, it’s how we choose to use it that matters.” 31．What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A．All short videos are educational. B．Making short videos is very difficult. C．Short videos are only for entertainment. D．Short videos have different uses for teenagers. 32．According to the survey mentioned, what is the average daily time teenagers spend on short videos? A．30 minutes. B．60 minutes. C．90 minutes. D．120 minutes. 33．What does “information bubbles” mean in the third paragraph? A．Video storage space. B．A type of educational video C．A tool to protect users’ privacy. D．Only seeing content that matches your interests. 34．Which suggestion is NOT given in the text for using short video apps wisely? A．Only watch videos at night. B．Set a daily time limit. C．Follow educational accounts. D．Protect personal information. 35．What can we learn from the teacher’s words in the last paragraph? A．Technology always brings trouble. B．Students should stay away from video apps. C．Short videos are good for daily study. D．The way we use technology is the most important. C ①Last weekend, my dad asked me to garden with him together in the backyard. I wasn’t too excited about it, as I’d rather be playing video games indoors. But Dad insisted, so we gathered outside with seeds and gardening tools. ②We started by planting seeds. Dad handed me a packet of sunflower seeds and a small shovel. “Plant them about an inch deep,” he instructed. I followed along, feeling the soil between my fingers, and soon we had a row of seeds waiting to sprout (发芽). ③Days passed, and nothing seemed to happen. I was about to lose hope, thinking the seeds were just a waste. But then, a gentle reminder came, “Be patient. Good things take time.” A week later, tiny green shoots came out of the soil. I was amazed and ran to show everyone. ④As the sunflowers grew taller, Dad taught me how to take good care of them. “Just like these plants, you also need care and love to grow,” he said. I began to understand how my parents support and care for me behind my growth. ⑤One stormy night, the tallest sunflower broke. I felt very upset. Sitting beside me, a comforting voice said, “Sometimes, even the strongest can fall. But remember, they can still bloom, just a bit lower to the ground.” ⑥That day, I was encouraged to be patient and resilient (有韧性的). The sunflowers taught me that growth isn’t always easy, sometimes we need to bend and just be strong when facing every challenge. 36．What did the author do when he found the seeds began to sprout? A．He throw them away as waste. B．He presented them to everyone. C．He planted more seeds immediately. D．He worried about the sprout’s future. 37．What does the underlined part “just a bit lower to the ground” imply (暗示)? A．The sunflower will continue to grow. B．The sunflower will never bloom again. C．The sunflower will not grow any taller. D．The sunflower will be easier to care for now. 38．How did the author’s feelings change throughout the story? A．Bored→Ashamed→Excited→Annoyed→Upset→Thankful B．Excited→Bored→Thankful→Angry→Doubtful→Encouraged C．Hopeful→Disappointed→Surprised→Understanding→Upset→Patient D．Uninterested→Hopeless→Amazed→Understanding→Sad→Encouraged 39．What is the best structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1…) A．①/②③④⑤/⑥ B．①②/③④/⑤⑥ C．①/②③④/⑤⑥ D．①②③④⑤/⑥ 40．What did the author learn from the experience with the sunflowers? A．All the plants can grow very quickly. B．Gardening is always a simple task. C．Patience and care are important for growth. D．Video games are more interesting than gardening. D Twenty years ago, a new version (版本) of The Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), a great work of Chinese Kunqu Opera that includes music, poetry, beautiful clothes, and smooth actions, came out in Taiwan, China, causing great excitement and then touring worldwide. This was not a usual version. Known as the youth version of The Peony Pavilion, it hoped to bring new life into the traditional art form. “Many young people saw Kunqu for the first time through this play and later fell in love with it,” said Bai Xianyong, the producer of the play. Actually, Bai’s love for bringing back Kunqu wasn’t an accident. “At that time, many Kunqu masters were nearing retirement (退休), and there was a real danger that this art form would face a lack (缺乏) of skill and tradition,” Bai said. “To make it stay active, we need to attract young people back to the theater as soon as possible.” In 2003, a group of young actors and actresses in their 20s joined Bai’s training camp to learn Kunqu’s skills. “The main actor practiced walking on knees until his knees were hurt, and the main actress wore out (磨坏) more than ten pairs of shoes during the training,” Bai said. “Finally, in 2006, the play triumphed across four University of California schools, with a full house at each show. Many students recommended the opera to their family and friends, and some began researching Kunqu’s history for their school projects.” Recently, Bai opened a personal account (账号) online, where he shares his thoughts with over 95,000 fans. “I want to know what young people in China think about traditional culture and hear their voices,” said Bai. “We have entered the age of AI. In this fast-changing world, it is highly important for young people to value traditional Chinese culture. The base of Chinese culture must be strong to prevent it from being controlled by high technology.” 41．What was special about Bai Xianyong’s version of The Peony Pavilion? A．It came out by accident. B．It attracted young people. C．It was a traditional art form. D．It invited well-known actors. 42．Why did Bai want to bring back Kunqu? A．To keep Kunqu culture alive. B．To remember Kunqu masters. C．To develop his acting skills. D．To learn new theater styles. 43．What does the underlined word “triumphed” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A．changed its style B．faced big challenges C．achieved great success D．attracted few people 44．What do you think of the training for the play? A．Easy but boring. B．Hard but meaningful. C．Quick but tiring. D．Relaxing but unsafe. 45．What is Bai’s purpose in opening his personal account? A．To introduce his plays. B．To discuss traditional life. C．To teach AI knowledge. D．To bridge youth and tradition. 四、任务型阅读 阅读下面短文, 请根据短文内容, 在文后表格中填入恰当的单词, 每空 一词。 (共10空；每空1. 5分, 满分15分) I was sitting in an introduction to calligraphy (书法) class when a student asked the teacher, “What do I need to become a professional (专业的) calligrapher?” We were all on the edge of our seats with that one. It was as if we were about to learn the secret of Grandma’s cookies. The answer, to our surprise, was pen and paper. “The materials are no different from those of a beginner calligrapher,” the teacher explained. “The difference between a beginner and a professional calligrapher is not in the tools they use, but in the professional’s effort to practice and the time they spend learning and improving. The truth goes for any expert (专家) in their field.” Most of us look up to the experts and think that better tools or more resources (资源) make them successful. But we never think about the time and hard work they spend learning new things and reaching their goals. Instead, we want to take shortcuts (捷径) to make progress as quickly as possible. But this will not help us in the long run. My dream is to become an excellent filmmaker. What would it take? What would I need to make the best movies? I, too, wanted the shortcut-the direct way to achieve my dream. Is there a certain camera I need to have, light kit (工具箱), microphone or skill that would lead me right to success? After watching online videos about filmmaking, I became aware that I had all that I needed to achieve my dream. There was no shortcut to filmmaking. It was just going to take time.

Communication is a two-way street, and it requires effort from both sides. Here are some tips to build 56 better relationship with them. First, choose the right moment. Avoid bringing up a difficult topic when your parents are 57 (stress) or in a hurry. Instead, find a quiet time, like during a family walk after dinner. This simple 58 (choose) can make a big difference in how your message is received. Second, listen 59 (active). Don’t just wait for your turn to speak. Try to understand their opinions. Show that you 60 (listen) by nodding or saying “I see.” This shows respect for their feelings, even if you disagree with their opinion. Third, use “I” instead of “You”. For example, say “I feel worried when I get poor grades” rather than “You are too strict about my lessons.” This helps avoid sounding 61 you’re blaming (责备) them. 62 (four), be honest but respectful. If you made a mistake, admit it. If you have a different opinion, express it calmly. Remember, the purpose is not 63 (win) an argument. You just want to find a better way to solve the problem. Finally, 64 a conversation becomes too heated, it’s okay to take a break. You can say, “I need a few minutes to calm down. Can we talk about this later?” This shows maturity (成熟), not avoidance. Good communication can turn a possible conflict (争执) into a chance to get 65 (close). It takes practice, but the reward—a stronger, more trusting relationship—is well worth the effort. 六、书面表达(满分25分) 66．为丰富学生的学校生活，你校拟开设一间学生活动室。校英语报登载了供选择的四种活动室名称，向全校学生征求意见。假设你是李华，请根据以下提示给校英语报投稿，谈谈你的想法和建议。 Reading Corner (读者之家) DIY Workshop (DIY 工坊) Sports Centre (运动天地) Heart-to-heart Room (心灵驿站) 内容要点： 1. 你最喜欢的一种活动室； 2. 选择这种活动室的理由 (至少2点)； 3. 你认为该活动室可以开展哪些活动?请给出1-2点建议 (时间、内容等)。 注意： 1. 要点齐全，可适当拓展； 2. 文中不得使用真实的个人姓名或学校名称； 3. 词数 100字左右，文章开头已给出，不计入总词数。 I am Li Hua, a student from Class 1, Grade 9.
