Friday was helping the man off his horse when the rest of us caught up with them. Suddenly, a bear was running out from behind the trees toward my friends. While anyone else was scared, Friday only smiled and said,“I’ ll show him some tricks.” He ran past the bear, popping it on the head with a stone. The bear ran after Friday.

Fighting Wild Animals C In winter, the sun goes down earlier, and we start going to bed earlier too. But while our sleep might change with the season, our eating habits may not. Eating late while sleeping early can influence our body more than we think. Our bodies have a natural clock inside called the circadian rhythm(昼夜节律). It helps the body stay in balance by following a 24-hour cycle. The circadian rhythm is influenced by light. So in winter, when it gets dark earlier, our bodies begin producing melatonin(something in your brain that helps you fall asleep)-the hormone(荷尔蒙)that helps us get ready for sleep-earlier in the evening. And if you go to bed earlier but keep eating dinner at the same time, it can trouble your body. One reason for this is that your metabolism （新陈代谢） also starts to slow down as it gets dark, which means your body processes food more slowly than it does earlier in the day. In fact, it's always good to eat earlier in the day. Experts (people with special knowledge or abilities) recommend finishing dinner at least two hours before going to bed, because this gives your body time to digest food properly. A 2021 study found that eating dinner around 6 p. m. instead of 9 p. m. helps keep blood sugar levels more balanced, which may reduce the risk of heart disease. And a 2022 study found that people who eat dinner at 5 p. m. have lower levels of hunger hormones and burn more fat than those who eat at 9 p. m. Research has also shown that people who eat most of their calories earlier in the day often lose more weight and have better health, including lower blood sugar levels. So during the winter,try eating your meals a little earlier-it might be better for your health in the long run! 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? ·A. What role melatonin plays in our sleep. B. Which eating habit suits our winter sleep. C. Why our body needs the circadian rhythm. D. How winter light influences our sleep and eating. 34. What does the underlined word“processes” probably mean in paragraph 4? · A. Deals with. B. Searches for. C. Cleans up. D. Gives out. 35. Why are the studies in 2021 and 2022 introduced by the writer? A. To study results of different dinner time. 九年级英语试题 第 4 页(共 8 页) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 B. To offer scientific support to experts’ advice. C. To present ways to keep blood sugar balanced. D. To show health problems brought by eating late. 36. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage? A. Eating early: Reducing Heart Disease Risks B. Eating early: Balancing Blood Sugar Levels C. Eating early: Improving Metabolism in Winter D. Eating early: Following Natural Body Rhythms D If you look online, you can find earbuds for less than $10 that offer real-time AI-powered translation of many languages. You just wear them, and they’ ll translate what they hear into your chosen language. That means if you' re trying to communicate with a police officer in Spain, a waiter in Malaysia, or a new friend in Egypt, you' ll be able to understand what they' re saying with the help of the earbuds Some of these earbuds even say their translations are 99%correct.It sounds almost like magic, doesn't it? Perhaps.But language experts remind us that translating a language and learning a language are very different things. Language professors Gabriel Guillén and Thor Sawin say that while translation earbuds may be useful in some situations, they can't replace the advantages of language learning. “The effort of learning a language communicates respect, trust and a willingness to see the world through someone else's eyes,” they say.“As people continue to move around the world more and more, learning languages allows us to make deeper connections with people from different cultures.” Research has already suggested that using AI when we' re writing means we exercise our brains less-and the same idea applies to translation earbuds. They give us answers, but we don't have to work our minds to get them. Guillén and Sawin say that learning a language isn't easy, but it is worth the effort. They add,“The very attributes(特质) companies look for in the AI age, like lifelong learning, creative thinking and active listening, are all developed through language learning.” So it's easy to look at those cheap earbuds and think about all the things we could get by using them. But we should also think: What might we lose by taking the easy way out? 37. How does the writer introduce translation earbuds in the first two paragraphs? A. By sharing the opinions of their users. B. By comparing them with other products. C. By giving examples of their practical use. D. By listing the features of language translation. 38. What does the writer try to show by mentioning Guillén and Sawin's words? A. The importance of language learning. B. The difficulty in using translation earbuds. C. The advantages of translation earbuds. D. The best ways to learn foreign languages. 69. What does“the same idea” in paragraph 6 refer to? A. High-tech tools reduce brain exercise. B. AI can help people with writing greatly. C. Trying new ways makes learning easier. D. Using AI can offer people correct answers. 九年级英语试题 第 5 页(共 8 页) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 40. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Daily learning makes great progress. B. New technology changes our lifestyle. C. Easy choices may bring hidden losses. D. Great success comes from experience. 第二节：阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 With a hope to see more places of China, I planned a trip to the northwest with seven friends from different countries.

An old Tibetan herder we once met still offered us a place to rest, even years later,” said Solano. 44 Driving through Northwest China gave us a different way of seeing this country's natural beauty and its people. At gas stations, shopkeepers greeted us with kindness, giving us suggestions on good places to visit. At every stop, we were touched by the warmth around us. 45 As an American who has lived in China for several years, trips like this one remind me of the common ground between the two countries, despite their differences.
