【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了孤独的Hatch先生因匿名礼物变得快乐,后发现是误会又消沉,最终邻居们的爱让他重拾温暖。
【1题详解】
句意:他每天独自走去上班并在一个角落里吃了他的午饭。
根据“Mr. Hatch lived a lonely life.”及后文“ate his lunch in a corner”可知,他生活孤独,在角落吃午饭。因此他也是一个人去上班,alone“独自”符合语境,hard“努力地”、quietly“安静地”、happily“高兴地”均不符合孤独的生活状态。
【2题详解】
句意:他从不微笑。
根据前文“lived a lonely life”及后文“He hardly talked to anyone on his way home.”可知,他性格孤僻,生活沉闷,几乎不和人说话,因此他从不微笑,smiled“微笑”符合语境,cried“哭”、slept“睡觉”、shouted“大喊”均不符合此处对他沉闷状态的描述。
【3题详解】
句意:他的生活改变了,然而,有一天,他收到了一个装满巧克力的心形盒子,里面还有一张纸条,上面写着:“有人爱着你。”

【4题详解】
句意:这条信息打开了他的心扉,让他感受到了爱的力量。
根据后文“Soon he found himself being cheerful. He became a joy at work...”可知,这条信息改变了他,让他感受到了爱的力量从而变得积极,open one’s heart to意为“向……敞开心扉”,heart“心”符合语境,mind“头脑”、eye“眼睛”、hand“手”均不合语境。
【5题详解】
句意:他在工作中变得很受欢迎,并开始在社区里帮助别人。
根据前文“He became a joy at work”及后文“his laughter, smiles, kindness, happiness and love moved everyone”可知,他变得开朗友善,会主动帮助邻居,help out“帮忙、帮助”符合语境,work out“解决、锻炼”、give out“分发”、put out“扑灭”均不合语境。
【6题详解】
句意:随着时间一天天过去,他的笑声、微笑、善良、快乐和爱感动了他身边的每一个人。
根据语境,他的改变影响了他周围的人,around him表示“在他周围”,符合语境,into“进入”、for“为了”、in“在……里面”均不合语境。
【7题详解】
句意:他感到很难过,又回到了以前的老样子。
根据前文“It was a mistake.”可知,他以为礼物送错了,因此又变回了之前孤独沉闷的状态,old ways表示“原来的样子、老习惯”,符合语境,right“正确的”、good“好的”、wrong“错误的”均不合语境。
【8题详解】
句意:他们为他举办了一个派对,还拉了一条写着“人人都爱Hatch先生”的横幅,给了他一个惊喜。
根据语境,邻居们为Hatch先生准备了惊喜,surprise sb. with sth.表示“用某物给某人惊喜”,此处sb.作宾语,需用宾格形式,应选用him,himself“他自己”、he“他(主格)”、his“他的”均不符合此处的语法要求。
【9题详解】
句意:当Hatch先生到达派对,知道终究还是有人爱着他时,他哭了。
根据语境,此处引导时间状语从句,表示“当他到达派对的时候”,when“当……时候”符合语境,what“什么”、how“如何”、why“为什么”均不符合此处的语法和语境。
【10题详解】
句意:然后他笑了,拥抱了他的朋友们,感到很温暖。
根据前文“Everybody loves Mr. Hatch”及“he knew that somebody loved him after all”可知,他感受到了大家的爱,内心感到温暖,warm“温暖的”符合语境,cool“凉爽的、酷的”、worried“担心的”、relaxed“放松的”均不符合此处的情感描述。

Every year before the Qingming Festival, thousands of students and teachers from Guyuan No.2 Middle School and Hongwen Middle School in Ningxia start a special hiking trip. They set off from the urban area of Guyuan in the early morning, walking 108 li (54 kilometers) to Renshanhe Martyrs’ Cemetery (烈士陵园) in Pengyang County to remember revolutionary martyrs. This meaningful activity has been held for 31 years since 1995.
The hiking road is rough and difficult. Students have to climb over Huangmao Mountain, walking on winding mountain paths. The whole round trip takes about 14 to 16 hours, from before dawn to dark. It is a big test of students’ physical strength and willpower. During the long walk, students help and encourage each other. Although they feel tired with sore legs and painful feet, no one gives up easily.
This is not just a common outdoor activity, but a “walking ideological and political class”. Before the hiking, schools will train students’ physical fitness and tell the students the history of the Renshanhe Battle (战役). In 1949, the Renshanhe Battle was the first battle to liberate Ningxia. Hundreds of soldiers lost their lives here and were buried in Renshanhe Martyrs’ Cemetery.
When students arrive at the cemetery, they hold simple memorial ceremonies. They observe a moment of silence, present flowers and clean the tombs for the martyrs. Through this activity, students deeply understand the spirit of revolutionary martyrs and learn the importance of perseverance and patriotism.
Teachers say this activity helps students grow up and develop a strong will. Over the past 31 years, more than 30,000 students have taken part in this hiking trip, passing on the red spirit from generation to generation.
19. What is the end point of the hiking trip?
A. Guyuan No. 2 Middle School B. Huangmao Mountain
C. Renshanhe Martyrs’ Cemetery D. Pengyang County urban area
20. What does the underlined phrase “ideological and political class” mean in the passage?
A. A class about outdoor sports skills
B. A class to learn historical stories and noble spirits
C. A class to practise hiking skills
D. A class about music and art
21. What do students NOT do at the martyrs’ cemetery?
A. Hold sports meetings B. Observe a moment of silence
C. Present flowers to martyrs D. Clean the tombs
22. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The hiking trip is easy and comfortable for students.
B. The Renshanhe Battle happened after the liberation of Ningxia.
C. Only students take part in the hiking activity.
D. The activity helps students develop a strong will and patriotic feelings.
【答案】19. C 20. B 21. A 22. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了宁夏固原市两所中学的师生每年清明节前徒步前往任山河烈士陵园缅怀革命先烈的活动,介绍了活动的过程、意义和传承情况。
【19题详解】
原文第一段提到“They set off from the urban area of Guyuan in the early morning, walking 108 li (54 kilometers) to Renshanhe Martyrs’ Cemetery in Pengyang County to remember revolutionary martyrs.”,由此可知这次徒步旅行的终点是任山河烈士陵园。
【20题详解】
原文第三段提到“Before the hiking, schools will train students’ physical fitness and tell the students the history of the Renshanhe Battle... Through this activity, students deeply understand the spirit of revolutionary martyrs and learn the importance of perseverance and patriotism.”,由此可知“walking ideological and political class”指的是学习历史故事和崇高精神的课程。
【21题详解】
原文第四段提到“When students arrive at the cemetery, they hold simple memorial ceremonies. They observe a moment of silence, present flowers and clean the tombs for the martyrs.”,由此可知学生们在烈士陵园不会举办运动会。
【22题详解】
原文第四段提到“Through this activity, students deeply understand the spirit of revolutionary martyrs and learn the importance of perseverance and patriotism.”,原文第五段提到“Teachers say this activity helps students grow up and develop a strong will.”,由此可知这项活动帮助学生培养坚强的意志和爱国情感。

① Saving water is becoming more and more important than ever before. Being smart with water at any time of year protects the planet and saves time and money, too. Why not turn it into a challenge in your family — who can save the most water and be named family water champion? Here are some suggestions.
② Although baths use more water than showers, a shower can still use about 14 liters (升) of water a minute. Shortening a shower by one or two minutes can save about 680 liters a month. So, let’s take shorter showers. To know how long you’ve been there, use a timer—or get the family to find some songs that last two minutes and sing as you wash.
③ A running tap (水龙头) uses more than six liters of water every minute, so turn off the tap while you brush your teeth. You can use a cup of water to wash your mouth and clean the brush.
④ Don’t waste the water after washing vegetables or cooking eggs and even from your pet’s water bowl. It’s a good idea to recycle it by watering your plants.
⑤ A dripping (滴水的) tap can waste about 5,300 liters of water a year. That is an incredible number which makes a lot of people shocked. Check that the taps in your home have been turned off properly, and put a bowl under it to catch any drops.
23. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Take shorter showers. B. Turn off the tap.
C. Recycle water. D. Check your taps.
24. What does the underlined word “incredible” mean in Chinese in Para5?
A. 难以忘记的 B. 难以置信的 C. 不可能的 D. 难以计数的
25. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
26. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. Be Smart B. Recycle Water C. Collect water D. Save Water
【答案】23. A 24. B 25. A 26. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了节约用水的重要性,并给出了4条实用的家庭节水小建议,引导大家在日常生活中养成节水习惯。
【23题详解】
第二段说明:“Shortening a shower by one or two minutes can save about 680 liters a month.”可知,将淋浴时间缩短一两分钟,每月可节省约680升水。因此,第2段主要讨论的是缩短淋浴时间以节约用水。
【24题详解】
第五段指出“A dripping tap can waste about 5,300 liters of water a year. That is an incredible number which makes a lot of people shocked.”,一个滴水的水龙头每年会浪费约5,300升水。这个数字让很多人感到震惊,因此可推知让很多人感到震惊的数字应是是难以置信的,incredible“难以置信的”。
【25题详解】
文章的结构是:第一段引入主题,提出节约用水的重要性;第二段至第五段分别提供了四种具体的节约用水方法。因此,文章的结构是总分结构,即先总述主题,再分述具体方法。
【26题详解】
根据全文可知,第一段开头直接点题“节约用水正变得越来越重要”,并引出节水建议;第二—第五段都是围绕“如何节约用水”展开的具体方法,因此“节约用水”可作为文章最佳标题。

Every year before the Qingming Festival, thousands of students and teachers from Guyuan No.2 Middle School and Hongwen Middle School in Ningxia start a special hiking trip. They set off from the urban area of Guyuan in the early morning, walking 108 li (54 kilometers) to Renshanhe Martyrs’ Cemetery (烈士陵园) in Pengyang County to remember revolutionary martyrs. This meaningful activity has been held for 31 years since 1995.
The hiking road is rough and difficult. Students have to climb over Huangmao Mountain, walking on winding mountain paths. The whole round trip takes about 14 to 16 hours, from before dawn to dark. It is a big test of students’ physical strength and willpower. During the long walk, students help and encourage each other. Although they feel tired with sore legs and painful feet, no one gives up easily.
This is not just a common outdoor activity, but a “walking ideological and political class”. Before the hiking, schools will train students’ physical fitness and tell the students the history of the Renshanhe Battle (战役). In 1949, the Renshanhe Battle was the first battle to liberate Ningxia. Hundreds of soldiers lost their lives here and were buried in Renshanhe Martyrs’ Cemetery.
When students arrive at the cemetery, they hold simple memorial ceremonies. They observe a moment of silence, present flowers and clean the tombs for the martyrs. Through this activity, students deeply understand the spirit of revolutionary martyrs and learn the importance of perseverance and patriotism.
Teachers say this activity helps students grow up and develop a strong will. Over the past 31 years, more than 30,000 students have taken part in this hiking trip, passing on the red spirit from generation to generation.
19. What is the end point of the hiking trip?
A. Guyuan No. 2 Middle School B. Huangmao Mountain
C. Renshanhe Martyrs’ Cemetery D. Pengyang County urban area
20. What does the underlined phrase “ideological and political class” mean in the passage?
A. A class about outdoor sports skills
B. A class to learn historical stories and noble spirits
C. A class to practise hiking skills
D. A class about music and art
21. What do students NOT do at the martyrs’ cemetery?
A. Hold sports meetings B. Observe a moment of silence
C. Present flowers to martyrs D. Clean the tombs
22. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The hiking trip is easy and comfortable for students.
B. The Renshanhe Battle happened after the liberation of Ningxia.
C. Only students take part in the hiking activity.
D. The activity helps students develop a strong will and patriotic feelings.

① Saving water is becoming more and more important than ever before. Being smart with water at any time of year protects the planet and saves time and money, too. Why not turn it into a challenge in your family — who can save the most water and be named family water champion? Here are some suggestions.
② Although baths use more water than showers, a shower can still use about 14 liters (升) of water a minute. Shortening a shower by one or two minutes can save about 680 liters a month. So, let’s take shorter showers. To know how long you’ve been there, use a timer—or get the family to find some songs that last two minutes and sing as you wash.
③ A running tap (水龙头) uses more than six liters of water every minute, so turn off the tap while you brush your teeth. You can use a cup of water to wash your mouth and clean the brush.
④ Don’t waste the water after washing vegetables or cooking eggs and even from your pet’s water bowl. It’s a good idea to recycle it by watering your plants.
⑤ A dripping (滴水的) tap can waste about 5,300 liters of water a year. That is an incredible number which makes a lot of people shocked. Check that the taps in your home have been turned off properly, and put a bowl under it to catch any drops.
23. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Take shorter showers. B. Turn off the tap.
C. Recycle water. D. Check your taps.
24. What does the underlined word “incredible” mean in Chinese in Para5?
A. 难以忘记的 B. 难以置信的 C. 不可能的 D. 难以计数的
25. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
26. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. Be Smart B. Recycle Water C. Collect water D. Save Water

instructions until you get what you like.

C. If you tell AI “Guess if I’m happy today,” it will fail to do it because it has no ability to judge human feelings.
D. If you aren’t satisfied with the picture AI draws, give more requirements like “Please add a pink window and paint the walls yellow.”
E. For a student who wants to improve his English reading, it is better to ask questions like “How can I improve my English reading as a Grade 9 student?”
