The first time I visited her flat,Riley sat at the kitchen table with her arms crossed, silently looking at her 12 math textbook instead of me.I opened the textbook and said, "Alright,Riley.Let's try some problems together."Riley raised her eyes and said 13, "Why should I leam this?I'll probably just work at my uncle's restaurant someday!"

D 30.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Interesting facts behind the World Cup B.Your World Cup trip is ready C.Top tourist attractions in North America D.Seats for the World Cup are nice B Being left-handed sounds cool-until you realize it's less about talent and more about daily survival. Think about the seats in the school hall with a writing board on the right..Writing on one as a lefty(左撇子)meant turning my body around while leaving my other arm hanging in midair.My handwriting usually came out looking like crazy worms dancing on the paper. In fact,my troubles began early.When I was five,my teacher handed me a pair of child-safe scissors.They were safe,yes,but only if you were right-handed.The paper I cut looked as if it had been bitten by a dog.My teacher looked at it and just told me to "try harder."Did she realize I was fighting a world designed for right-handed people? Things didn't improve with age.At restaurants,I've developed a sixth sense for seating always sitting to the left of right-handers,or I'd risk an elbow fight halfway through dinner.I've also learned to use a right-handed mouse with my left hand,though people still look at me like I'm performing dark magic. My grandmother once tried to "fix"me by tying my left hand behind my back."Use your right,"she would say.I tried and poured a bowl of soup on the floor.Grandma gave up,"Maybe she's special." Many researchers believe that lefties are more creative and better at problem-solving. Indeed,many famous artists,athletes and scientists are lefties.But when you've spent your life fighting door handles and shirt buttons,little daily things are always making life hard for you. 九年级英语第4页共10页 But we do see the world from the other side.Being left-handed isn't just about using a different hand.It's also about thinking differently,changing habits and joking through the challenges.After all,in a right-handed world,being a lefty isn't wrong:it just makes life less easy,but maybe more special. 31.How was the writer's handwriting when using seats with writing boards on the right? A.It was difficult to read. B.It looked clear and smooth. C.It was similar to others'. D.It looked common but nice 32.What can we infer(推断)from“The paper I cut looked as if it had been bitten by a dog_.” in Paragraph 3? A.The teacher thought the writer should give up cutting. B.The writer was not careful enough when cutting paper. C.The child-safe scissors are not easy for the writer to use. D.Dogs are dangerous pets just as scissors are dangerous tools. 33.The picture below shows a dining table.If everyone at the table is right-handed,which seat will the writer choose? Ben Steve Ann B DINING TABLE Peter Mlke Jane 34.What does the writer think of being a lefty now? A.She still wishes she could change it. B.She accepts it and treats it with humor. C.She feels lucky to be born left-handed. D.She considers it as a serious disadvantage. 35.What is the writer's purpose in writing the article? A.To explain why some people are born left-handed. B.To prove that lefties are usually smarter than righties. C.To share the everyday challenges of being left-handed. D.To encourage companies to invent more tools for lefties. C DHave you ever seen Picasso's famous oil painting Guernica 《格尔尼卡》?You may have noticed that human bodies in it are not painted naturally.They are broken into unusual shapes. Everything feels out of order,but that is exactly what gives the painting its power. 2For a long time,many traditional artists believed that good art should look true to life.The subject should come from history 九年级英语第5页共10页 or real life so that the viewer could understand it.They often used perspective(透视法)一away of painting where faraway objects look smaller than closer ones.They also painted from just one side,not many at once. 3Picasso was put through strict traditional training from an early age.He was a gifted child and was trained to paint in the "proper"way.When he entered the Barcelona School of Fine Arts,he was only 14 years old.In the entrance exams,he handed in a body of work that showed his excellent drawing and painting skills.Although others took a month,he completed the exams in just one day. 4ButA.Picasso didn't want art to only copy real life,so he offered a new way of seeing the world:Cubism(立体主义).He broke people and things into shapes,.and each shape showed the subject from a different side.For example,a face might be painted from both the front and the side.Different from tradition,Picasso's works showed different views all at once. 5"So what?",you might ask.Picasso did not break rules just for fun or without reason.He wanted to show that the world is not one-sided and cannot be fully recorded from just one side. In real life,things never stay the same.By breaking old painting rules,he tried to bring that experience into art. 6Picasso's works may not look realistic,but they can even feel true in a deeper way. Painting is full of rules.But sometimes,the best artists break those rules to create something special. 36.What can we learn about the painting Guernica from Paragraph 1? A.It was the first painting Picasso ever made. B.It was painted in a natural and powerful way. C.The human bodies in it looked a mess in shape. D.The human bodies are painted with strong colours. 37.How did traditional artists show the distance in a painting? A.By using brighter paint in the back. B.By making closer objects look bigger. C.By drawing everything in the same size. D.By showing the subject from many sides. 38.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A.Picasso's speed and confidence in exams. B.Picasso's skills and new styles of painting C.Picasso's talent and early traditional training. D.Picasso's schoolwork and basic painting skills. 39.Which saying can be put inA in the article? A.“no rules,,no order'” B.“seeing is believing” C.“Rome was not built in a day” D.“rules are made to be broken” 40.How would the writer most probably reply to Tom's review? 九年级英语第6页共10页 三 "Plcasso'e paintinge are ugly.They don't look real,so they're not good art." A.“Picasso was just trying to be different..” B.“Art doesn't have to look real to feel true.” C."You're right.Art should always look real." D."Only those who draw well understand Picasso." D Walking through a forest of ashes (is a heartbreaking experience for anyone who loves nature.For Marta Bernardino and Sebastiao Mendonca,the sight of burning woods in Portugal )was a call to take action.Their beautiful country has been getting hotter and drier for years.Since 2000,huge wildfires have burned nearly half of the forests in Portugal.Most of them are on the high and steep ground.This makes it almost impossible for people to climb up and replant trees safely. Determined to help,these two 19-year-old friends turned to technology for a way to solve the problem.It seemed like a simple idea at first.In 2023,while still in high school,they started building Trovador,a tree-planting robot.Their first model was built using recycled materials and cost just $17.Even with such a small amount of money,the robot was a huge success.It could plant young trees 28 percent faster than humans,and 9 out of 10 trees it planted survived. Today,Trovador is turning into a high-technology machine shaped like a dog.The teenagers received a $10,000 prize from National Geographic to improve their design.They are now working hard to make the robot even better.The new model is being built with lightweight materials so it won't hurt the soil which is made weak by fires.It will also have cameras and sensors(传感器).These tools will help it climb safely over steep hills. The best part is how smart the robot is becoming.It will use AI to check soil conditions and find the best places for planting.With the GPS system,it will then be able to plant up to 200 trees in just one hour.Before that,people need to use an app to get things started.They can simply pick a burned area on the app map and let Trovador do the rest.Trovador is expected to be ready by late 2026.Thanks to this clever invention,Portugal's hills may soon be green again,one tree at a time. 41.Why is it difficult for people to replant trees in Portugal's burned forests? A.Most of the burned areas are high and steep. B.The weather there is getting too cold. C.People are not allowed to enter the forests. D.The fires have burned the ground badly 42.What made the first model of Trovador successful? A.It had high technology and looked like a dog. 九年级英语第7页共10页 B.It cost very little and could carry more trees. C.It worked fast and kept almost all trees alive. D.It used recycled materials and looked creative 43.Why are the teenagers using lightweight materials for the new robot dog? A.To move easily on the steep ground. B.To save the prize money they received. C.To keep the weak soil from getting worse. D.To leave more space for cameras and sensors 44.According to the last paragraph,which of the following is the first step to regrow a forest? A.The robot begins to plant trees on the ground. B.People choose a certain area on the app map. C.AI checks the soil and finds the best places for planting. D.The GPS system guides the robot to the chosen location. 45.What does the development of Trovador mainly show us? A.AI can help put out forest wildfires quickly and easily. B.The success of an invention depends on a large team. C.Technology becomes smarter when it gets more expensive. D.A simple idea can grow into a high-technology help for nature. 第二部分非选择题(共55分) 四、任务型阅读阅读下面的短文,并根据所读内容,在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当 的单词。(注意:每个空格只填一个单词)(每题1.5分,满分15分) Think Like a Chinese Chess Master Life is like playing Chinese chess and every move matters.Every decision you make in life may influence your gains and losses.That is why thinking like a chess master is a must.Masters hold key methods to deal with problems.Since these methods can be directly used in daily challenges,we simply cannot miss them. First of all,chess masters never make a move without thinking about the results.They predict(预测)what their opponents(对手)will do and get ready early.In life,it is easy to think about the present only.This kind of short-sighted thinking often leads to regret,while long-term thinking contributes to good results.Good planners don't just wait for chances.Instead,they prepare actively to make things happen. Moreover,in Chinese chess,with 32 pieces in total,controlling the central part of the chessboard gives you more influence and choices.In life,focusing on (the most important things gives you control over your future.To be exact,time spent on high-value tasks is more important than being busy with meaningless activities.Where you put your energy and heart decides your future path. Every chess game,win or lose,teaches a lesson.Chess masters learn from both victories 九年级类语第8页共10页 and mistakes to make their skills better.However,in life,many people only remember their failures and forget their successes.They are trapped in the fear of losing instead of learning from both sides.In fact,each experience is a lesson in making better future decisions. Therefore,we should see every result as a lesson,not just success or failure.Winners don't just move on-they move forward with great wisdom. So the next time you face a hard situation,don't act without thinking about what you're doing,but wait and ask yourself like a chess master:What's my next move? Think like a Chinese Chess Master O Just as every move matters in Chinese chess,a single decision in life may decide your life direction. 46 Chess masters'useful methods are necessary to help47 daily problems. Think ahead Chess masters always consider the results 48 making a move. It is 49 to think only about the present,because it is long-term thinking that leads to good results. Wise Don't just wait for chances,but try to get ready to create them. Focus on what50_most thinking Chess masters control the51 of the chessboard for more advantages. ways Put your time and energy into meaningful work instead of just staying busy.
