Lin worked hard to share Chinese culture with the world.His writing was clear and easy to 九年级英语第2页（共8页) 只阿 蜜蜂试卷创建 read.In books like My Counfry and My People,he introduced Chinese ideas and daily life to Western readers.He also wrote novels such as Moment in Peking;showing how Chinese people stayed strong during wartime.Besides writing,he helped create a Chinese-English dictionary, making it easier for people around the world to understand Chinese words. Lin also introduced Western culture to China.In 1924,he brought the idea of"humor"to the country.The Chinese word“幽默”was born from the English word..Lin believed that having a sense of humor showed a kind,open,and wise attitude (toward life. His creativity didn't stop with writing and translation.Lin was also an inventor.Chinese characters made typing difficult,so he spent years designing a Chinese typewriter ()In 1947,his MingKwai typewriter finally came out.Teachers,publishers,and researchers all found it very useful. 23.What can we know about Lin Yutang from the passage?

C.Lin Yutang once said that life is a journey,and we should enjoy every moment of it D.The MingKwai typewriter was later improved by other inventors and became more popular. B I used to believe that being alone was the worst possible thing.In middle school,everyone seemed to have a partner for lunch,study halls,and group projects.I was very afraid of eating alone or walking to class without someone by my side.For me,loneliness felt like a sign that I wasn't liked. This fear drove me to always fill my time with people.I caid yes to every invitation,even when I was tired.I stayed in crowded rooms,even when my energy was completely used up.It was during a very stressful exam weck th discovered a different way by chance.All my friends were busy studying,and I was forced to spend my lunch break by myself.At first,I felt uneasy and strange.But then,I sat down with my book and my music,and an unexpected sense of peace came over me.For the first time in months,I could hear my own thoughts.That small moment changed me a lot. That experience changed my thought.I realized that being alone doesn't have to mean being 九年级英语第3页（共8页） 蜜蜂试卷创建 lonely.It can be a choice,a way to get your energy back without the stress of entertaining others.I find this very helpful.Now,I make room for what I call "quiet time alone."I spend an hour each weekend walking in the neighborhood or sitting in my room listening to music.These quiet moments help me think more clearly and understand myself better. Of course,I still love my friends and value my time with them.But I no longer fear eating lunch alone.I've come to believe that learning to stand on your own is just as important as learning to work with others.Solitude.when chosen,isn't a weakness.It's a secret source (of strength. 26.Why did the writer always say "yes"to every invitation in the past?

C Worried about the environment?How AI works might make you unsure.Every time you ask an AI chatbot(聊天机器人)a question,the data(数据)centers behind it use electricity to“think” and respond ()In the process,they also give off heat.Keeping those powerful computers cool requires a great deal of fresh water. Asking Al one or two questions won't harm the Earth much,but if billions of people use AI at the same time,these small environmental costs will quickly add up. That doesn't mean you have to stop using AI.Instead,you can become a green AI user by being more thoughtful about when and how you use it. For simple tasks like checking store hours,a traditional search engine is better-it uses ten times less energy than Al.But in some cases,AI is in fact greener than doing it yourself.For example,an AI model can create a picture in about one minute.Drawing the same picture on your computer might take you an hour.During that hour,you and your computer would use just as much -if not more-energy.So sometimes,AI is the greener choice. You can save even more energy by keeping your questions short.AI models use more energy for every extra word they process.For this reason,you can save energy by asking AI for simple answers when long ones aren't necessary.Also,keep your questions short and to the point.There's no need to add"please"or "thank you."The Al model won't take it personally 九年级英语第4页（共8页) 蜜蜂试卷创建 The real question isn't"Will AI hurt the environment?"It clearly will.As one professor said, you should ask yourself:"What would you do instead?What are you replacing?" 29.Why is using AI bad for the environment? A.Because it produces too much heat that directly warms the planet. B.Because it always gives long and unnecessary answers to simple questions. C.Because it uses a lot of electricity and fresh water to keep computers cool. D.Because it requires people to draw pictures for a long time on their computers. 30.Why should you avoid saying "please"to an Al? A.Because the AI gets angry. B.Because it wastes a little energy. C.Because it takes too much time. D.Because the AI can't understand it. 31.Which of the following would the writer probably agree with? A.Compare AI with what you would do instcad. B Never use AI because it hurts the environment. C Always use AI for simple tasks to save time. D.Use AI only when you have very long questions. 32.What is the best title for the passage? A.How to Build a Greener Data Center B.The Future ofAl Chatbots C.Say No to AI to Save the Earth D.Be a Green AI User D Last month,my cousin spent the whole day traveling to a famous "check-in"spot -a cafe with a large pink wall.She stood in line for an hour,took ten photos,and left after twenty minutes. She didn't even drink her coffee.On the train back home,she spent another hour choosing the best photo to post online.When I asked her what the place was like,she could only say,"The wall looks great in photos.” This is what has happened to many young people today.Traveling and eating out have turned into a kind of task:find a popular place,take a good picture,post it,and collect likes.The real experience -the taste of food,the feeling of wind,the joy of talking with friends -is forgotten. We have become servants(仆人)of our phones,and the“check-in”culture is the cause.. Why does this happen?First,social media (makes us believe that sharing is more important than living.If a trip cannot be posted online,it feels like it never happened.Second, companies use this to make money.A cafe with a "cute"wall can.ask for twice as much money. They are not selling coffee;they are selling a good place for a photo. I am not saying we should never take photos.But I worry that we are losing the ability to simply enjoy a moment.The most beautiful sunset is the one you watch with your eyes,not through your phone screen.Real memories are not measured (by likes.They are made of small,quiet moments that no camera can truly catch.So next time you visit a new place,put your phone down for a while.Taste your food while it is warm.Listen to the sound of the sea.Let yourself be there -not for a photo,but for yourself. 九年级英语第5页（共8页） 只阳 蜜蜂试卷创建 33.What does the story of the writer's cousin mainly show?

The video showed a female wolf swimming out to the buoy,where she grabbed (the rope with her sharp teeth and began pulling it toward shore ().39As soon as she reached the trap,she tore open the net and enjoyed the tasty bait inside.After finishing her meal,she walked away calmly.The whole process took less than three minutes.Researchers described the wolf's behavior as amazing-quick,purposeful,and surprisingly efficient. 40In the past,people thought that only humans used tools.But now they have learned that some animals also use tools.Tool use,however,remains uncommon in the animal world. In this case,the wolf used the rope to pull the trap closer and get the food.The rope could be considered as a tool.On the other hand,some scientists disagree,arguing that a true tool must be made or at least placed by the animal itself-and this wolf did neither.Even so,most agree that the wolf's actions show great intelligence ) 九年级英语第6页（共8页) 蜜蜂试卷创建 A.They were set underwater.
