You may play many of them before. Let’s take a look at three of them. Chinese nine linked rings puzzle It’s believed that people created the nine linked rings puzzle in the Western Han Dynasty (朝代). And it is usually made up of nine rings connected to a handle (手柄). Players have to remove all the rings from the handle to win the game. This is not a simple game. The solution takes 341 moves, so lots of patience is needed. But if you learn to solve it, it’s hard to forget. Tangram First popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the tangram is a puzzle made up of seven pieces of different shapes. For each puzzle, players need to use all the pieces to make a shape. To do it, they have to know about geometry (几何学). In the 18th century (世纪), the tangram appeared in the West and soon became popular there. Luban lock (锁) It’s said that Luban first created the lock 2,000 years ago. The lock has a lot to do with geometry. It’s hard to separate the six pieces. However, it is usually easier to unlock a Luban lock than to put it back together. Now, there are Luban locks made up of nine or more pieces. 1. Which of the following subjects do the three folk games have to do with? A. English. B. Music. C. Math. D. Art. 2. As usual, a tangram has ______ pieces of different shapes. A. six B. seven C. eight D. nine 3. From the passage, we can learn that _______. A. players don’t have to remove nine rings to win the puzzle B. the tangram was brought to the West in the 19th century C. to unlock a Luban lock is harder than to put it back together D. all the three folk games above have a long history in China 4. The passage is most probably from _______. A. a folk novel B. a travel guide C. a science magazine D. a news report B Have you seen Zootopia 2? This fun movie is breaking box office records (票房纪录) all over the world! In just its first few days in North America, it made about $156 million. People of all ages are rushing to theaters to watch it. Why is it so popular? Well, life can be stressful sometimes. Many people — both kids and adults (成年人) — want to relax and enjoy a happy, exciting story. Zootopia 2 gives them just that! It brings back our favorite characters, Officer Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, and adds a new one: Gary De’Snake, a clever snake. Even though many families now watch movies at home, going to the cinema is still a great way to spend time together — and it’s not too expensive. Disney (迪士尼) also did a lot of advertising (宣传) in China, with big premieres (首映式) in Beijing and Shanghai. That helped the film become a huge success there too! The first Zootopia came out in 2016 and made over $1 billion (十亿) worldwide. Experts think Zootopia 2 will do just as well — or even better! 5. How does the writer start the passage? A. By asking questions. B. By listing numbers. C. By giving examples D. By telling facts. 6. Gary De’Snake is _______. A. a brave police officer B. a funny rabbit friend C. a smart new character D. a kind zoo keeper 7. Disney helped the film advertise by _______ in China. A. lowering ticket prices B. holding big premieres C. dubbing (配音) in Chinese D. giving free popcorn 8. What do experts think about Zootopia 2? A. It will make less money. B. It’s only right for kids. C. It’s worse than the first. D. It may make a big success. C Arsh Pal, a young artist from the US, is helping people in need through his paintings. When Arsh was eight, his family bought him a water colour set for his birthday. Then he spent all his free time practising painting. Soon, he made lots of great paintings and began giving them away to his family and friends as presents. Around the same time, Arsh often visited a local old people’s home. His mother worked there. While visiting the care centre, Arsh found that people there looked bored and lonely. So sometimes he came over to play games and talk with them. Later he decided to give them painting lessons for free. He also started selling his paintings to make money to help them. Over the next few years, Arsh sold many of his works and donated (捐赠) the money to St Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Last year, Arsh won the Diana Award. It is for great young people aged 9 to 25 around the world for their hard work to improve others’ lives. “Young people can have an influence on the world,” Arsh said. “It feels good to get the Diana Award.” Arsh says he’ll always continue his dreams of changing the world through art. 9.

D January 20, 2025, a Chinese tech company (科技公司) named DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek-R1. This smart program can solve math problems, write code (代码), and answer questions like top models such as OpenAI’s GPT-4o, but it costs much less to build. The team spent only $5.58 million (1/70 of OpenAI’s cost) and used 2,048 computer chips for two months to make it. Its appearance shows that good ideas can beat (击败) big money. DeepSeek-R1 learns by trying many times and getting better, like how students practice maths. Other AIs need lots of prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. In a global (全球的) math test, it got 79.8% right, a little higher than OpenAI’s model. A simple version (版本) of R1 can even run on low-cost computers, helping schools and small companies. DeepSeek-R1 is free to use and change. On its first day online, over 19,000 programmers worldwide started projects to study it. A German scientist said experiments (实验) with R1 cost $10 instead of $300 with other AIs. Even Meta (a famous U.S.tech company) top scientist said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.” U.S. tech companies are worried. Meta planned to spend $65 billion more on AI research. Experts said China was catching up fast. A report in Nature magazine called R1 a “big step forward”, confirming that smart ideas beat expensive tools. As a DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use.” With R1, China shows the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money. 13. It cost ______ to build DeepSeek-R1. A. $5.58 million. B. $10. C. $300. D. $65billion. 14. What can we learn about DeepSeek-R1 from Paragraph 2? A. It needs programmers to fix mistakes. B. It becomes better through practice. C. It copies answers from other AIs. D. It only works with expensive tools. 15. The underlined word “confirming” in Paragraph 5 means ______. A. showing it’s true B. finding differences C. refusing invitations D. connecting with others 16. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Similarity between GPT-4o and DeepSeek-R1 B. Comparison of Chinese and American AI Models C. Appearance of Chinese AI Model DeepSeek-R1 D. Global Change of Chinese AI Model DeepSeek-R1 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Do you feel Grade 9 is still far away? The earlier you prepare for it, the easier it will be.

Wang Xizhi was a Chinese calligrapher, traditionally (传统地) called the Sage of Calligraphy (书圣). Born in Linyi, Shandong Province, he spent most of his life in the present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang. At the beginning, Wang Xizhi learned the art of calligraphy from Lady Wei. But later through practice, he excelled (超过) his teacher. Nobody knows who taught him after Lady Wei. However, there is a story that Wang achieved his success by learning from his dream. It is said that Wang would practice calligraphy every day. Still, he was never pleased with what he wrote. One day, he was so tired that he fell asleep at his desk. In his dream, he saw an old man who said to him with a smile, “I will teach you something and you will find it very helpful in the future. Now reach out your hands.” Only half believing, Wang reached out his hand. The old man wrote a character in his hand and said with a nod. “Now, you will be a calligrapher”. With this, he disappeared in the air. Wang looked at his hand and saw a character “永”. He thought it over for a whole night and finally realized that this character had all the basic (基本的) strokes in forming Chinese calligraphy. After waking up from the dream, Wang kept practicing writing the character “永”. Later Wang became a well-known calligrapher. It is said that even in his lifetime, a few of Wang’s characters or his signature (签名) were priceless. Unluckily, none of his works remain today. Down through the ages, however, many students have learned from his calligraphy. 41. What was Wang Xizhi called traditionally as a Chinese calligrapher? 42. Who taught Wang Xizhi calligraphy in his dream after Lady Wei? 43. Why did Wang Xizhi keep on practicing the character “永”? 44. What do you think of Wang Xizhi?
