How do you keep the memories of your loved ones? On my 56th birthday, my daughter Beth gave me two beautiful wooden butterflies. I hung them on the wall so that I could admire them all day. ★ . My mum passed away when I was 25, and Beth was just a baby. She never got to meet her grandma, which made it hard for me to keep my mum’s memory alive for Beth. One day when Beth was 7, we were playing outside, and she suddenly said how much she missed her grandma. I told her that her grandma loved her very much and that she was watching over her from heaven (天堂). I even said that maybe she was taking a ride on the back of a butterfly to get a closer look. At that moment, a butterfly just showed up out of nowhere, flew around Beth’s face, and then flew away. We both laughed happily. Since then, it seems like butterflies follow us wherever we go. Whenever we are outside, they come down, circle around us, take a good look and fly away. It feels like my mum’s love is still watching over us through the butterflies. Even in winter, I can take comfort in looking at the wooden butterflies that Beth gave me and think of my mum’s love. The wooden butterflies have become a symbol of our bond. They remind us of the moment when a butterfly brought us together and filled our hearts with happiness. And even now, they continue (继续) bringing us closer to the woman who holds a special place in our hearts. 31．Why did Beth give two wooden butterflies to her mum? A．To use them as a decoration for their garden. B．To remind her mother of their memories. C．To draw real butterflies to fly over. D．To give her mum toys to play with. 32．Which of the following can be put in ★ ?

D．They were a symbol of her mum’s love and presence. 34．The underlined word “bond” in Paragraph 6 means “________”. A．a strong feeling of connection (联系) B．a united family C．a close friendship D．a happy moment 35．Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． C Is there a way to quickly recall information just before taking an exam? Walking backward might help. Scientists from a university in the UK said this activity can help improve short-term memory. In research, researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, the volunteers were divided into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. The second group walked 10 meters backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video. The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average (平均) than the other two groups. This suggests that the link between time and space is important for how our minds form memories. “Time is really expressed through space,” One researcher told the Daily Mail. When you walk backward, you see things from a different angle (角度). This difference helps people bring things to mind that happened in the past. Walking backward could also be helpful for those who often have pain in their knees, according to another team of researchers. They found backward walking keeps our spine (脊柱) strong, which helps to reduce pain in the lower back. Besides, walking backward is also good for the rest of our body. It burns more calories than forward walking, according to New Scientist. This might be why many people like walking backward. Yet, to walk backward safely is an art to be learned. 36．What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A．The reason for memory improvement. B．The purpose of doing a research. C．A scientific finding about walking backward. D．A common problem before exams. 37．According to paragraph 2, what did the volunteers do first? A．They watched a video. B．They were divided into groups. C．They answered 20 questions. D．They walked 10 meters forward. 38．How does walking backward help people? A．It can help people see things more clearly. B．It may help solve health problems completely. C．It may be the best exercise for improving memory. D．It can reduce people’s pain in knees and the lower back. 39．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards backward walking? A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Uncertain. D．Worried. 40．What will the writer probably discuss in the next paragraph? A．Bad influence of walking backward. B．Advice on walking backward safely. C．More ways to improve short-term memory. D．History of backward walking studies. 四、选词填空（10分） 阅读下面短文，用方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、语意和逻辑上正确。 (提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。) clear / what / filled with / interviewed / dealt with / swim / how      Childhood memories are unforgettable. The first bicycle ride, the first 41 in the pool, and the beautiful wallpaper are deeply planted in our minds. But can they be trusted? In other words, 42 reliable (可靠的) are our memories? In a study in 2011, Peterson and his team 43 children ages 4 to 13 about their earliest memories and re-interviewed them two years later. They found that events 44 feelings were easier to stay. Besides, if the child had a 45 memory rather than a confused (模糊的) one, he might remember it better. 五、短文填空（10分） 阅读下面短文，根据上下文或括号内单词等提示，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的适当形式。 When we become old, we may forget many things from the past. But music will probably stay 46 us all our life, said Scientific American magazine. Sarah Sauve, an expert in the UK, did a new study on this. She 47 (invite) 121 people to join. They were between 18 48 86 years old. Sauve first asked them to listen to three musical phrases. Then, she told them 49 (watch) a concert. They needed to make a note when they heard the familiar (熟悉的) phrases. To 50 (she) surprise, the older people were just as good at recognizing (辨认) the phrases as the 51 (young) ones were. This shows that our musical memory (记忆) stays the same as we grow old. 52 (science) may use this to treat (治疗) illnesses that do bad to people’s memory. Music may help them remember things. Why can we remember music no matter 53 old we are? When we listen to music, the amygdala (杏仁核) in our brain will become fresh again. This makes our brain 54 (think) that music is something important. Other 55 (part) of the brain also work together to keep this “important” information. So our memory of music can last for a long time. 六、书面表达（15分） 很多学生都抱怨总是记不住学过的东西。请根据下面内容提示写一篇题为“The Ways to Improve Memory”的短文。80词左右;开头已给出，不计入总词数。 提示：1.学习时集中注意力(focus your attention) ; 2.要想记得长久，必须先理解学习内容; 3.及时复习，防止遗忘; 4.多吃对大脑有益的食物，如牛奶、鸡蛋、鱼类等; 5.多做运动、保证充足的睡眠和休息，这是增强记忆力的关键。 The Ways to Improve Memory A good memory is essential for our daily life and effective study.Here are some ways to improve it._______ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共8页） 试题 第4页（共8页） 试题 第1页（共8页） 试题 第2页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年九年级上册英语单元自测 Unit 4 Our Memory·基础通关 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：90分钟，满分：90分） 一、单项选择（10分） 1．—Could you please tell me ________ you will go to Beijing for vacation? —Next month, but I’m not sure about the exact date.

How do you keep the memories of your loved ones? On my 56th birthday, my daughter Beth gave me two beautiful wooden butterflies. I hung them on the wall so that I could admire them all day. ★ . My mum passed away when I was 25, and Beth was just a baby. She never got to meet her grandma, which made it hard for me to keep my mum’s memory alive for Beth. One day when Beth was 7, we were playing outside, and she suddenly said how much she missed her grandma. I told her that her grandma loved her very much and that she was watching over her from heaven (天堂). I even said that maybe she was taking a ride on the back of a butterfly to get a closer look. At that moment, a butterfly just showed up out of nowhere, flew around Beth’s face, and then flew away. We both laughed happily. Since then, it seems like butterflies follow us wherever we go. Whenever we are outside, they come down, circle around us, take a good look and fly away. It feels like my mum’s love is still watching over us through the butterflies. Even in winter, I can take comfort in looking at the wooden butterflies that Beth gave me and think of my mum’s love. The wooden butterflies have become a symbol of our bond. They remind us of the moment when a butterfly brought us together and filled our hearts with happiness. And even now, they continue (继续) bringing us closer to the woman who holds a special place in our hearts. 31．Why did Beth give two wooden butterflies to her mum? A．To use them as a decoration for their garden. B．To remind her mother of their memories. C．To draw real butterflies to fly over. D．To give her mum toys to play with. 32．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．They are the symbols of my daughter’s love B．They meant a lot to my daughter C．They carried our memories D．They soon became my daughter’s great toys 33．What did the author feel about butterflies after that event? A．She was sure that her mum was watching over them. B．She believed butterflies could understand humans’ talking. C．They were angry and always seemed to follow them. D．They were a symbol of her mum’s love and presence. 34．The underlined word “bond” in Paragraph 6 means “________”. A．a strong feeling of connection (联系) B．a united family C．a close friendship D．a happy moment 35．Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】31．B 32．C 33．D 34．A 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，通过女儿送的木蝴蝶以及生活中出现的真蝴蝶，回忆了母亲去世后自己如何让女儿感受到奶奶的爱，阐述了木蝴蝶和真蝴蝶成为母女与已故母亲情感联系象征的故事。 31．推理判断题。根据文章开头“How do you keep the memories of your loved ones?”以及后文木蝴蝶成为母女与已故母亲情感联系的象征，可推断Beth送木蝴蝶是为了提醒母亲她们之间的回忆。故选B。 32．推理判断题。根据后文讲述母亲去世后自己如何让女儿感受到奶奶的爱，以及木蝴蝶和真蝴蝶成为母女与已故母亲情感联系的象征，可知此处应填与回忆或情感联系相关的内容。C选项“它们承载了我们的回忆”符合语境。故选C。 33．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“It feels like my mum’s love is still watching over us through the butterflies.”可知，作者感觉母亲的爱仍然通过蝴蝶守护着她们。D选项“它们是她母亲的爱和存在的象征”符合文意。故选D。 34．词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“The wooden butterflies have become a symbol of our bond. They remind us of the moment when a butterfly brought us together and filled our hearts with happiness.”可知，木蝴蝶成为母女情感联系的象征，让她们想起蝴蝶将她们联系在一起的时刻。由此可推断“bond”意为“强烈的联系感”。故选A。 35．篇章结构题。文章开头通过两个问题“What memories do you have of your grandparents? How do you keep the memories of your loved ones?”引出对亲人的回忆和保持回忆的话题；中间部分详细讲述女儿送木蝴蝶以及蝴蝶与母女间关于对母亲回忆的情感联系；结尾“The wooden butterflies have become a symbol of our bond...”总结木蝴蝶成为母女情感纽带及象征，所以文章是总分总结构。故选A。 C Is there a way to quickly recall information just before taking an exam? Walking backward might help. Scientists from a university in the UK said this activity can help improve short-term memory. In research, researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, the volunteers were divided into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. The second group walked 10 meters backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video. The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average (平均) than the other two groups. This suggests that the link between time and space is important for how our minds form memories. “Time is really expressed through space,” One researcher told the Daily Mail. When you walk backward, you see things from a different angle (角度). This difference helps people bring things to mind that happened in the past. Walking backward could also be helpful for those who often have pain in their knees, according to another team of researchers. They found backward walking keeps our spine (脊柱) strong, which helps to reduce pain in the lower back. Besides, walking backward is also good for the rest of our body. It burns more calories than forward walking, according to New Scientist. This might be why many people like walking backward. Yet, to walk backward safely is an art to be learned. 36．What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A．The reason for memory improvement. B．The purpose of doing a research. C．A scientific finding about walking backward. D．A common problem before exams. 37．According to paragraph 2, what did the volunteers do first? A．They watched a video. B．They were divided into groups. C．They answered 20 questions. D．They walked 10 meters forward. 38．How does walking backward help people? A．It can help people see things more clearly. B．It may help solve health problems completely. C．It may be the best exercise for improving memory. D．It can reduce people’s pain in knees and the lower back. 39．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards backward walking? A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Uncertain. D．Worried. 40．What will the writer probably discuss in the next paragraph? A．Bad influence of walking backward. B．Advice on walking backward safely. C．More ways to improve short-term memory. D．History of backward walking studies. 【答案】36．C 37．A 38．D 39．B 40．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了英国科学家的一项研究发现，倒退行走可以改善短期记忆，并对膝盖和腰部疼痛有缓解作用，同时还提到倒退行走的其他好处。 36．主旨大意题。根据“Walking backward might help. Scientists from a university in the UK said this activity can help improve short-term memory.”可知，本段主要介绍了倒走可以改善短期记忆这一科学发现。故选C。 37．细节理解题。根据“In research, researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video.”可知，志愿者首先做的事情是看视频。故选A。 38．细节理解题。根据“Walking backward could also be helpful for those who often have pain in their knees, according to another team of researchers. They found backward walking keeps our spine (脊柱) strong, which helps to reduce pain in the lower back.”可知，倒走可以减轻人们膝盖和下背部的疼痛。故选D。 39．观点态度题。根据文章整体内容，作者介绍了倒走在改善记忆和缓解身体疼痛等方面的多种好处，从而看出作者对倒走是支持的。故选B。 40．推理判断题。根据“Yet, to walk backward safely is an art to be learned.”可知，安全地倒退行走是一门需要学习的艺术，由此可推断下一段很可能会讨论关于安全倒走的建议。故选B。 四、选词填空（10分） 阅读下面短文，用方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、语意和逻辑上正确。 (提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。) clear / what / filled with / interviewed / dealt with / swim / how      Childhood memories are unforgettable.

They were between 18 48 86 years old. Sauve first asked them to listen to three musical phrases. Then, she told them 49 (watch) a concert. They needed to make a note when they heard the familiar (熟悉的) phrases. To 50 (she) surprise, the older people were just as good at recognizing (辨认) the phrases as the 51 (young) ones were. This shows that our musical memory (记忆) stays the same as we grow old. 52 (science) may use this to treat (治疗) illnesses that do bad to people’s memory. Music may help them remember things. Why can we remember music no matter 53 old we are? When we listen to music, the amygdala (杏仁核) in our brain will become fresh again. This makes our brain 54 (think) that music is something important. Other 55 (part) of the brain also work together to keep this “important” information.
