三、阅读理解
In a small town in China, lived a boy named Li Hao. He was not the tallest or the strongest student in Grade 9, but he had a big dream: to join the school long-distance running team. However, there was a problem—Li Hao had asthma (哮喘). Every time he ran too fast, his chest hurt, and he struggled to breathe.
During the first tryout (选拔赛) for the team, Li Hao only finished fifth. The coach told him, “Running long distances is dangerous for you. Maybe you should choose another sport.” Most students would have given up, but not Li Hao. He remembered the motto (座右铭) from Unit 3: “Never give up.”
Instead of stopping, Li Hao created a strict training plan. He woke up at 6:00 a.m. every day to jog slowly around the playground, focusing on controlling his breathing. After school, he spent an hour doing exercises to strengthen his lungs (肺). Even when he coughed badly or felt tired, he never missed a day. His classmates laughed at him, saying he would never make the team. But Li Hao just kept running.
Three months later, the final tryouts arrived. As the race began, Li Hao ran steadily. Halfway through, two of the faster runners fell behind because they were too tired. Li Hao didn’t rush; he kept his pace. In the final 100 meters, he pushed hard. When he crossed the finish line, he came in second place! The coach was shocked. More importantly, Li Hao proved that his illness would not control his life.
“Success belongs to those who keep going,” Li Hao said later. “If you want something badly enough and work for it, ‘never giving up’ will help you find a way.”
1. What was Li Hao’s biggest challenge in joining the running team?
A. He was too short for long-distance running.
B. He suffered from a health problem called asthma.
C. He didn’t have enough time to practice.

2. How did Li Hao react to the coach’s suggestion to quit?
A. He immediately stopped running and joined the art club.
B. He argued with the coach angrily.
C. He made a training plan and kept practicing.
D. He asked his parents to talk to the coach.
3. The phrase “kept his pace” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.
A. stopped to take a rest B. ran at the same speed
C. gave up the competition D. cheered for others loudly
4. Why did Li Hao win the final tryouts according to the passage?
A. Because the other runners got injured during the race.
B. Because the coach secretly helped him during the run.
C. Because he practiced hard and managed his breathing well.
D. Because he used special medicine before the race.
5. What is the main message of the story?
A. Winning is the most important thing in sports.
B. It is unwise to go against the coach’s advice.
C. Natural talent is more important than hard work.
D. Persistence (坚持) and hard work lead to success.
四、信息还原(六选五)
It was the beginning of Grade 9, and we started Unit 3: Never Give Up. Our teacher, Mr. Li, asked us to share stories about overcoming difficulties. Most students talked about famous scientists or athletes. 1 He told us about his own experience learning to play the guitar.
Mr. Li said he wasn’t talented in music at all. In the beginning, his fingers hurt badly when he pressed the strings. 2 His classmates laughed at him, saying he would never make a nice sound. However, Mr. Li didn't listen to them. Every day after school, he stayed in the music room alone. He practiced the same boring scales (音阶) again and again.
3 He realized that progress came from daily practice, not just waiting for talent to appear. Three months later, he was able to play a beautiful song smoothly. "Success doesn't come overnight," he said. 4
Mr. Li’s story inspired me. I used to be afraid of speaking English because of my poor pronunciation. After hearing his story, I decided to change. 5 Now, I am more confident in my English class. Remember, the road to success is not always easy, but as long as we keep going, we will reach our goal.
A. It taught me that "never giving up" is not just a slogan in the textbook.
B. But Mr. Li shared something different.
C. Slowly, I found it easier to remember new words.
D. He even wanted to give up several times.
E. I started to read English aloud for twenty minutes every morning.
F. It requires patience and continuous effort.

五、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
When Alex entered Grade 9, physics became his biggest headache. It was no longer just about simple machines; it was filled with complex circuits and formulas that seemed impossible to understand. After failing a major monthly exam, he was so frustrated that he crumpled up the paper and wanted to drop the subject entirely. However, thinking about the unit theme “Never Give Up,” he decided to change his habits instead of giving up.
Every evening, Alex spent an hour and a half reviewing. Instead of just memorizing facts, he broke down difficult problems into smaller steps. He created a “mistake notebook,” where he wrote down every question he got wrong. Next to each mistake, he didn’t just write the correct answer; he explained why he failed—was it because he misunderstood the concept, or was it just a careless error? He also stayed after school to practice in the lab, building circuits again and again until he understood how the current flowed.
Last week, during the mid-term practical test, Alex faced a circuit that even the top students couldn’t fix quickly. While others guessed randomly, Alex stayed calm. Using his hands-on experience, he checked each wire carefully and found a loose connection. When the light turned on, his teacher praised his patience and problem-solving skills. Alex realized that success isn’t about being naturally smart; it’s about keeping going when things get hard.
回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过6个单词。
1.What was Alex’s biggest problem when he started Grade 9?
2.How did Alex feel after failing the major exam?
3.How long did Alex spend studying physics each evening?
4.What did Alex write next to each mistake in his notebook?
5.According to Alex, what is real success based on?
