(25-26九年级上·辽宁葫芦岛·期中)You learn new words every day. Have you ever wondered how the English language got so many words and different spellings? Or why do some words with the same spelling sound so different?
There are only twenty-six letters in English, but the language has over a million words. Why is that? This is partly because those 26 letters create 44 sounds, and those 44 sounds have 256 different spelling choices!
Most of English words are formed from old Latin roots (拉丁语词根). For example, the Latin root audio, meaning to hear, has created hundreds of English words. And many English words come from Greek, too. The Greek root graph, meaning to write or to draw, has given English many words like photograph and geography.
Greek and Latin are not the only reason for the different words and spellings. English has “borrowed” words from many other languages. The pronunciations of these words are very similar to the original (原始的) ones. For example, chow mein from Chinese, confetti from Italian, and chauffeur from French. These are just a few examples of the “borrowed” words in English.
Finding the source (来源) of words will help you to understand why sounds are spelled differently. As an example, the word ship and sugar both have sh sound, but they are spelled differently. It’s because ship came from the German word schiff and sugar was from an Indian word carkara. Different sources make them have different spellings with the same sound.
1.How does the writer introduce the topic (主题) in Paragraph 1?
A.By giving examples. B.By telling stories.
C.By asking questions. D.By making conversations.
2.The underlined word chow mein may sound like ________ in Chinese.
A.Chao mian B.Mi xian C.Hun dun D.Tang yuan
3.Which language do most English words come from?
A.Greek. B.Latin. C.Italian. D.French.
4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.There are 256 words in English. B.The Latin root audio means to write.
C.All the English words are borrowed. D.The sources of ship and sugar are different.
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.B 4.D
【导语】本文讲述了英语词汇数量庞大、来源多样(拉丁语、希腊语及其他借词),以及词源对拼写和发音的影响,并建议通过寻找词源理解拼写差异。
1.第一段“Have you ever wondered how the English language got so many words and different spellings? Or why do some words with the same spelling sound so different?”,可知作者使用提问方式引入话题。
2.第四段提到借词“chow mein from Chinese”,其发音与中文“炒面”相似,故对应“Chao mian”。
3.第三段明确说明“Most of English words are formed from old Latin roots”,因此大部分英语词汇来自拉丁语。
4.第五段指出“ship came from the German word schiff and sugar was from Indian word carkara”,说明两者来源不同。
(25-26九年级上·河北衡水·期中)People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I’ll share some of my experience. I once took a school-year English course at Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own.
One thing I can tell you is that once you’ve started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about “How would I say it in English?” At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I’m in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It’s amazing how much this helps.
For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn’t want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no option but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.
Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you’re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement.
1.How long did the writer learn English at Wuhan University?
A.About three months. B.About a year.
C.About a term. D.About two years.
2.What is a good way to improve your English according to the writer?
A.Thinking in English. B.Learning English grammar.
C.Watching English films. D.Reading English books.
3.Where is the writer now?
A.In China. B.In England. C.In Germany. D.In America.
4.What does the underlined word “option” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Idea. B.Decision. C.Choice. D.Chance.
5.Which can be the best title for the text?
A.The Importance of English
B.My Experience in Learning English
C.My English Grades in University
D.The Secrets of Memorizing English Words
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.D 4.C 5.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者分享自己通过“用英语思考”等方法学习英语的经验与感悟。
1.第一段指出“I once took a school-year English course at Wuhan University”,故作者在武汉大学学了一年英语。
2.第二段指出“you should try to think in English as much as you can”,并描述“think in English”的具体做法和效果,故作者认为学英语的好方法是“用英语思考”。
3.第二段指出“Now I’m in America”,故作者现在在美国。
4.第三段指出“I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no option but to speak English”,结合上下文可知在只能讲英语的情况下,没有其他选择,故option意为“选择”。
5.第一段提出“I’ll share some of my experience”,全文围绕作者学习英语的经历展开,从初学、恐惧到突破瓶颈并给出建议,故B项“My Experience in Learning English”最能概括全文主旨。
(25-26九年级上·山东菏泽·期中)①Taking notes is a common but useful study skill. But if your notes are messy and unclear, you’re not going to get much use out of them. Now we’ll show you how to make your notes as effective (有效的) as possible.
②First, you should be an active listener. When taking notes, many students write down every word, but they don’t really understand its meaning. This is totally wrong. While you’re in class, the most important thing is to listen carefully and understand what your teacher is saying instead of just writing it down.
③Take down only key words to help you review what you have learned after class. Usually, your writing speed falls far behind your teacher’s speaking speed. It’s unrealizable for you to write down every word the teacher is saying. Taking down just key words helps you save time and keep up with the teacher.
④What your notes look like is also important. If your notes are messy and difficult to read, you will be less likely to go back to studying them. So make sure your notes are clear and easy to read. Many people like to add some colors to the notes to make the information easier to read. This is because colors make your notes look more interesting and clearer.
⑤Having good class notes will help you to be better prepared for tests.
根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。
1.In the writer’s opinion, what is the most important thing in class?
A.Understanding the teacher’s words.
B.Answering questions actively.
C.Writing down the teacher’s words.
2.What does the underlined word “unrealizable” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Convenient. B.Helpful. C.Impossible.
3.Why do many people like to add colors to the notes?
A.To make the notes beautiful.
B.To make the information easy to read.
C.To develop creativity in note-taking.
4.What do you think the structure of the text would be?
A. B. C.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.B 4.B
【导语】本文主要介绍了如何有效地做课堂笔记。
1.第二段明确指出:“While you’re in class, the most important thing is to listen carefully and understand what your teacher is saying instead of just writing it down.”,说明在课堂上最重要的是理解老师说的话。
2.第三段提到:“Usually, your writing speed falls far behind your teacher’s speaking speed. It’s unrealizable for you to write down every word...”,意思是写字速度远跟不上说话速度,因此记下每一个字是“不可能的”。Convenient(方便的)、Helpful(有帮助的)均不符合语境,Impossible(不可能的)符合文意。
3.第四段明确指出:“Many people like to add some colors to the notes to make the information easier to read.”,说明人们喜欢加颜色是为了让信息更容易阅读。
4.文章结构分析:第①段:引入话题,指出做笔记的重要性及常见问题,提出如何让笔记更有效。第②段:建议一——积极倾听,理解重于记录。第③段:建议二——只记关键词。第④段:建议三——保持笔记清晰,可使用颜色。第⑤段:总结全文,指出好笔记对考试的帮助。其中,②③④段是并列关系,分别阐述了做有效笔记的三个具体方法,共同支撑第①段提出的主题,最后由第⑤段进行总结。因此结构为①/②③④/⑤,对应选项B图示。

(25-26九年级上·贵州六盘水·期中)Scientists believe that there are three zones (区域) of learning: the comfort zone, the learning zone, and the panic (恐慌) zone. With increasing difficulty and challenges, these three zones are usually described as a continuous condition, from the comfort zone to the learning zone and then to the panic zone. The comfort zone is the situation where you think the knowledge is easy. The learning zone is where you want to learn something new. The panic zone is where you think the knowledge is too difficult and beyond your ability.
How can you put this theory (理论) into your own learning? Firstly, if you feel a subject is too easy, try pushing yourself further or pay attention to other subjects. Secondly, if you feel a subject is too difficult, get over your fear and build your confidence before finding ways to improve it. Thirdly, useful practice means doing things you can’t do well rather than just finishing tasks. Finally, record your mistakes and review them.
According to the study, when people leave their comfort zones and learn something new and difficult, they can discover stronger connections in their brains, which makes them smarter. That’s why people can gradually improve their abilities in the learning zone. Therefore, if you want to become a good learner, look for the learning zone, accept challenges, and pay attention to the process of learning.
1.Which picture can show the relationship among the three zones?
A. B. C.
2.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.The advantages of the three zones.
B.The practice of the three zones in learning.
C.The reasons for knowing the three zones.
3.Why can people improve their abilities in the learning zone?
A.Because it is where they can learn something new.
B.Because they think the knowledge is beyond their ability.
C.Because they think the knowledge is too simple to learn.
4.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Avoid the Panic Zone.
B.Master the Comfort Zone.
C.Explore the Learning Zone.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.A 4.C
【导语】本文主要介绍学习的三个区域:舒适区、学习区、恐慌区,讲解三者递进关系、如何在学习中运用该理论,以及待在学习区提升能力的原因,倡导主动探索学习区。
1.根据第一段“these three zones are usually described as a continuous condition, from the comfort zone to the learning zone and then to the panic zone”可知,难度由低到高依次是舒适区→学习区→恐慌区,对应同心圆由内向外:最内层comfort zone,中间learning zone,最外层panic zone,对应C选项。
2.根据第二段首句“How can you put this theory into your own learning?”及后文用Firstly/Secondly/Thirdly/Finally列举四条在实际学习中运用三区理论的做法可知,本段主旨是三区理论在学习中的实践运用。
3.根据第三段“when people leave their comfort zones and learn something new and difficult, they can discover stronger connections in their brains, which makes them smarter. That’s why people can gradually improve their abilities in the learning zone.”可知,人们能在学习区提升能力,是因为在这里可以学习新的、有难度的知识。
4.文章先介绍了三区概念,重点讲解如何运用理论、说明学习区能提升能力的原理,结尾点明“look for the learning zone, accept challenges”,全文核心围绕“主动探索、利用学习区”展开, C选项“探索学习区”最适合作本文标题。

◇考点 02 重难语篇提升练
(2026·浙江丽水·二模)Would you like to improve your memory? To start with, it is important to understand how memory works.
There are two main kinds of memory: short-term memory and long-term memory. Short-term memory helps you remember things that you may only need for a short time, like phone numbers when you need to make a phone call. Long-term memory is the ability to remember things for days, years, or even a lifetime. So the real question is: How do you make sure what you learn enters your long-term memory? By using some clever memory techniques and leading a healthy life, you will see some great results. Let’s take a look.
First, pay attention. However, you might fail to remember all the details. So, try taking notes and writing down key points. After all, it is easier to remember a summary than every word in a passage.
Second, use it or lose it. The more you review what you learn, the more likely you will remember it. However, you should not wear out your brain. Try studying for 40 minutes, and then take a break. You can also review information by discussing it with others or by teaching others.
A third way is to make use of senses. Create images by using tables, graphs, and mind maps to organize information. You can also create a story with information and view it in your mind like a film. In addition, make use of your other senses. For example, listening to recorded information can be very helpful.
Last but not least, improve your memory by staying healthy.
• Sleep well. While you sleep, your brain organizes your memories. Bad sleep makes it harder for new information to enter your long-term memory.
• Eat well. Your brain needs food like an engine needs fuel. Healthy food and drink will help your brain work much better.
• Exercise. A healthy and active body improves both your memory and your mind.
Many more memory techniques can be found in books or online. Try some different methods to see which ones work best for you. You are sure to improve your memory!
1.How does the writer lead in the topic?
A.By telling a story. B.By asking a question.
C.By listing numbers. D.By comparing two facts.
2.Which of the following belongs to long-term memory?
A.Remembering a speech text for next week.
B.Remembering an address before writing it down.
C.Remembering a stranger’s face for a short time.
D.Remembering a phone number before making a phone call.
3.How many memory techniques are mentioned according to the passage?
A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.
4.Which can be the best title for the passage?
A.Healthy Life and Memory B.How to Improve Your Memory
C.Different Kinds of Memory D.The Advantages of Long-term Memory
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.C 4.B

It helps students not only master knowledge better, but also develop good learning habits and build up their self-confidence. Besides, it makes the whole learning process more lively and meaningful.

(25-26九年级上·辽宁葫芦岛·期中)You learn new words every day. Have you ever wondered how the English language got so many words and different spellings? Or why do some words with the same spelling sound so different?
There are only twenty-six letters in English, but the language has over a million words. Why is that? This is partly because those 26 letters create 44 sounds, and those 44 sounds have 256 different spelling choices!
Most of English words are formed from old Latin roots (拉丁语词根). For example, the Latin root audio, meaning to hear, has created hundreds of English words. And many English words come from Greek, too. The Greek root graph, meaning to write or to draw, has given English many words like photograph and geography.
Greek and Latin are not the only reason for the different words and spellings. English has “borrowed” words from many other languages. The pronunciations of these words are very similar to the original (原始的) ones. For example, chow mein from Chinese, confetti from Italian, and chauffeur from French. These are just a few examples of the “borrowed” words in English.
Finding the source (来源) of words will help you to understand why sounds are spelled differently. As an example, the word ship and sugar both have sh sound, but they are spelled differently. It’s because ship came from the German word schiff and sugar was from an Indian word carkara. Different sources make them have different spellings with the same sound.
1.How does the writer introduce the topic (主题) in Paragraph 1?
A.By giving examples. B.By telling stories.
C.By asking questions. D.By making conversations.
2.The underlined word chow mein may sound like ________ in Chinese.
A.Chao mian B.Mi xian C.Hun dun D.Tang yuan
3.Which language do most English words come from?
A.Greek. B.Latin. C.Italian. D.French.
4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.There are 256 words in English. B.The Latin root audio means to write.
C.All the English words are borrowed. D.The sources of ship and sugar are different.
(25-26九年级上·河北衡水·期中)People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I’ll share some of my experience. I once took a school-year English course at Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own.
One thing I can tell you is that once you’ve started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about “How would I say it in English?” At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I’m in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It’s amazing how much this helps.
For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn’t want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no option but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.
Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you’re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement.
1.How long did the writer learn English at Wuhan University?
A.About three months. B.About a year.
C.About a term. D.About two years.
2.What is a good way to improve your English according to the writer?
A.Thinking in English. B.Learning English grammar.
C.Watching English films. D.Reading English books.
3.Where is the writer now?
A.In China. B.In England. C.In Germany. D.In America.
4.What does the underlined word “option” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Idea. B.Decision. C.Choice. D.Chance.
5.Which can be the best title for the text?
A.The Importance of English
B.My Experience in Learning English
C.My English Grades in University
D.The Secrets of Memorizing English Words
(25-26九年级上·山东菏泽·期中)①Taking notes is a common but useful study skill. But if your notes are messy and unclear, you’re not going to get much use out of them. Now we’ll show you how to make your notes as effective (有效的) as possible.
②First, you should be an active listener. When taking notes, many students write down every word, but they don’t really understand its meaning. This is totally wrong. While you’re in class, the most important thing is to listen carefully and understand what your teacher is saying instead of just writing it down.
③Take down only key words to help you review what you have learned after class. Usually, your writing speed falls far behind your teacher’s speaking speed. It’s unrealizable for you to write down every word the teacher is saying. Taking down just key words helps you save time and keep up with the teacher.
④What your notes look like is also important. If your notes are messy and difficult to read, you will be less likely to go back to studying them. So make sure your notes are clear and easy to read. Many people like to add some colors to the notes to make the information easier to read. This is because colors make your notes look more interesting and clearer.
⑤Having good class notes will help you to be better prepared for tests.
根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。

(25-26九年级上·贵州六盘水·期中)Scientists believe that there are three zones (区域) of learning: the comfort zone, the learning zone, and the panic (恐慌) zone. With increasing difficulty and challenges, these three zones are usually described as a continuous condition, from the comfort zone to the learning zone and then to the panic zone. The comfort zone is the situation where you think the knowledge is easy. The learning zone is where you want to learn something new. The panic zone is where you think the knowledge is too difficult and beyond your ability.
How can you put this theory (理论) into your own learning? Firstly, if you feel a subject is too easy, try pushing yourself further or pay attention to other subjects. Secondly, if you feel a subject is too difficult, get over your fear and build your confidence before finding ways to improve it. Thirdly, useful practice means doing things you can’t do well rather than just finishing tasks. Finally, record your mistakes and review them.
According to the study, when people leave their comfort zones and learn something new and difficult, they can discover stronger connections in their brains, which makes them smarter. That’s why people can gradually improve their abilities in the learning zone. Therefore, if you want to become a good learner, look for the learning zone, accept challenges, and pay attention to the process of learning.
1.Which picture can show the relationship among the three zones?
A. B. C.
2.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.The advantages of the three zones.
B.The practice of the three zones in learning.
C.The reasons for knowing the three zones.
3.Why can people improve their abilities in the learning zone?
A.Because it is where they can learn something new.
B.Because they think the knowledge is beyond their ability.
C.Because they think the knowledge is too simple to learn.
4.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Avoid the Panic Zone.
B.Master the Comfort Zone.

(25-26九年级上·山东临沂·期中)I had learned English for 11 years, but I knew few English idioms (习语). When I went to study in America last year, I had trouble communicating with Americans at times.
One day, I asked my roommate Kevin, “Shall we play soccer tomorrow?” He answered, “Let’s play it by ear.” I was so puzzled (迷惑的). “Ear can play soccer?” I asked. He explained, “It means let's see how things go. The weather report says tomorrow is rainy.”
Last October, I was waiting for the bus in a station. Beside me sat a young man. When he knew I was Chinese, he asked me something about the Great Wall. I told him, “The Great Wall is more than 20,000 kilometers long.” The man said, “You don’t say.” I was surprised. “There must be something wrong with him,” I thought. Later, I knew he meant “Really?”
I was once invited to my classmate's home. His mother said to me, “Break the ice, please.” I wondered, “You didn’t give me any ice.” Later my classmate told me she meant I could make myself relaxed in their home.

◇考点 02 重难语篇提升练
(2026·浙江丽水·二模)Would you like to improve your memory? To start with, it is important to understand how memory works.
There are two main kinds of memory: short-term memory and long-term memory. Short-term memory helps you remember things that you may only need for a short time, like phone numbers when you need to make a phone call. Long-term memory is the ability to remember things for days, years, or even a lifetime. So the real question is: How do you make sure what you learn enters your long-term memory? By using some clever memory techniques and leading a healthy life, you will see some great results. Let’s take a look.
First, pay attention. However, you might fail to remember all the details. So, try taking notes and writing down key points. After all, it is easier to remember a summary than every word in a passage.
Second, use it or lose it. The more you review what you learn, the more likely you will remember it. However, you should not wear out your brain. Try studying for 40 minutes, and then take a break. You can also review information by discussing it with others or by teaching others.
A third way is to make use of senses. Create images by using tables, graphs, and mind maps to organize information. You can also create a story with information and view it in your mind like a film. In addition, make use of your other senses. For example, listening to recorded information can be very helpful.
Last but not least, improve your memory by staying healthy.
• Sleep well. While you sleep, your brain organizes your memories. Bad sleep makes it harder for new information to enter your long-term memory.
• Eat well. Your brain needs food like an engine needs fuel. Healthy food and drink will help your brain work much better.
• Exercise. A healthy and active body improves both your memory and your mind.
Many more memory techniques can be found in books or online. Try some different methods to see which ones work best for you. You are sure to improve your memory!
1.How does the writer lead in the topic?
A.By telling a story. B.By asking a question.
C.By listing numbers. D.By comparing two facts.
2.Which of the following belongs to long-term memory?
A.Remembering a speech text for next week.
B.Remembering an address before writing it down.
C.Remembering a stranger’s face for a short time.
D.Remembering a phone number before making a phone call.
3.How many memory techniques are mentioned according to the passage?
A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.
4.Which can be the best title for the passage?
A.Healthy Life and Memory B.How to Improve Your Memory
C.Different Kinds of Memory D.The Advantages of Long-term Memory
(2026·重庆·模拟预测)Have you ever wondered what a pleasant and effective way of study is? Many students feel tired of boring classes and endless homework. They expect a new way to learn knowledge with fun.
Our school has changed its teaching ways this term. Teachers no longer only give lessons in class.
