High cornstalks make the maze difficult. D. It’s better to find our way alone. B Have you ever noticed a mirror (镜子) in a lift? Next time you take it, look closely! It’s not there without a reason! It does amazing things when the lift moves. Let’s find out about it! A lift is a small, closed place. There isn’t much fresh air inside. For some people, being in a lift might make them feel scared or uneasy. They may even breathe fast sometimes. They can’t see what’s happening outside as the lift doors close and it starts moving. When they look at the mirror in the lift, it can make them feel there is more space and it can help to reduce worry. The mirror in the lift also helps you see what others are doing. For example, you can see others’ facial expressions and what their hands are doing. This makes you feel safer too. Because of this, it can help stop someone from stealing. It’s easy to get bored in a lift, especially when it stops often. So the mirror is a great way to have fun. You can fix your hair in the mirror. Or you can quickly check if your clothes are tidy. Without a mirror, everyone would have to stare (盯着) at the floor. When you “play” with the mirror, time passes quickly. You don’t feel like you are wasting your time in the lift. 29. Why is the mirror helpful for some people in the lift? A. It reduces their worry. B. It provides fresh air. C. It makes doors open fast. D. It shows floor numbers. 30. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The closed lift. B. The mirror in the lift. C. Someone who steals. D. Others’ facial expressions. 31. When do people easily feel bored in the lift? A. When there’s light. B. When doors are open. C. When it stops often. D. When it moves slowly. 32. What is the main purpose of writing this text? A. To tell why there are mirrors in lifts. B. To recommend places to put mirrors. C. To explain the problem of small lift space. D. To teach people how to use mirrors in lifts. C Are you feeling lonely and in need of a companion (伙伴)? Do you want a friend who can be with you anytime, anywhere? Meet Friend, a new wearable AI companion that you wear around your neck, can help. Meet Friend comes at a time when more and more people feel lonely. Studies show that 6.1% of young people in the US feel very lonely. Meet Friend’s founder (创始人), Schiffmann says their product doesn’t mean to take the place of real friends. Instead, it can help when you can’t be with people. People have different opinions about AI friends. Some, like Schiffmann, believe they can help with loneliness. But others worry that if people depend too much on AI for company, they might stop trying to make real human friends, which could make them feel even lonelier in the long run. ________ Drake Maples at Stanford University surveyed more than 1,000 students who used the AI chatbot Replika and studied their feelings of loneliness and social support. About half of these users reported reduced anxiety and a feeling of social support. Nearly a quarter of those surveyed said they are more able to deal with stress in their relationship because of Replika’s advice. It is still a new field though, and Drake Maples says there needs to be guidelines. “I strongly believe that you do need to have guidelines around AI companions pushing people back towards human relationships when suitable,” she says. These could be gentle reminders like “Hey, you should go chat with somebody about that” or “Go practice this now with a real human.” 33. What is Meet Friend aimed at? A. Taking the place of real humans. B. Increasing the productivity at work. C. Offering a new way to connect. D. Examining mental illness early. 34. Which sentence can be put in the ________? A. As a result, studies have shown that this worry is completely reasonable. B. However, research on actual user experiences tells a different story. C. Because of this, most people have now stopped worrying about the problem. D. Unluckily, this fear has prevented students from trying AI friends. 35. Which of the following best describes the “guideline” suggested by Drake Maples? A. Rules that stop people from using their AI friend for too long. B. Advice that encourages people to talk to other humans. C. Instructions to make sure that the AI product works safely. D. Warnings that tell people AI friends are bad. 36. Who in the following poems needs Meet Friend most? A. 举杯邀明月，对影成三人。 B. 海内存知己，天涯若比邻。 C. 劝君更尽一杯酒，西出阳关无故人。 D. 桃花潭水深千尺，不及汪伦送我情。 D The Marionette, as soon as his hunger was appeased (平息), started to grumble and cry that he wanted a new pair of feet. But Mastro Geppetto, in order to punish him for his mischief (淘气), let him alone the whole morning. After dinner, he said to him: “Why should I make your feet over again? To see you run away from home once more?” “I promise you,” answered the Marionette, sobbing, “that from now on I’ll be good...” “Boys always promise that when they want something,” said Geppetto. “I promise to go to school every day, to study, and to succeed.” “Boys always sing that song when they want their own will.” “But I am not like other boys! I am better than all of them and I always tell the truth. I promise you, Father, that I’ll learn a trade, and I’ll be the comfort and staff of your old age.” Geppetto, though trying to look very stern, felt his eyes fill with tears and his heart soften when he saw Pinocchio so unhappy. He said no more, but taking his tools and two pieces of wood, he set to work diligently. In less than an hour the feet were finished, two slender, nimble little feet, strong and quick, modeled as if by an artist’s hands. “Close your eyes and sleep!” Geppetto then said to the Marionette. Pinocchio closed his eyes and pretended (假装) to be asleep, while Geppetto stuck on the two feet with a bit of glue melted in an eggshell, doing his work so well that the joint could hardly be seen. As soon as the Marionette felt his new feet, he gave one leap from the table and started to skip and jump around, as if he had lost his head from very joy. “To show you how grateful I am to you, Father, I’ll go to school now. But to go to school I need a suit of clothes.” Geppetto did not have a penny in his pocket, so he made his son a little suit of flowered paper, a pair of shoes from the bark of a tree, and a tiny cap from a bit of dough. Pinocchio ran to look at himself in a bowl of water, and he felt so happy that he said proudly: “Now I look like a gentleman.” “Truly,” answered Geppetto. “But remember that fine clothes do not make the man unless they be neat and clean.” “Very true,” answered Pinocchio, “but, in order to go to school, I still need something very important.” “What is it?” “An A-B-C book.” Putting on his old coat, full of darns and patches (补丁), he ran out of the house without another word. After a while he returned. In his hands, he had the A-B-C book for his son, but the old coat was gone. The poor fellow was in his shirt sleeves and the day was cold. “Where’s your coat, Father?” “I have sold it.” “Why did you sell it?” “It’s too warm.” Pinocchio understood the answer in a twinkling, and, unable to restrain his tears, he jumped on his father’s neck and kissed him over and over. ——Adapted from The Adventures of Pinocchio 37. According to the story, which of the following character relationships is correct? A. Geppetto is Marionette’s son. B. Pinocchio is Geppetto’s father. C. Geppetto is Pinocchio’s father. D. Marionette and Pinocchio are friends. 38. What does the underlined word “stern” probably mean in the story? A. serious B. excited C. touched D. happy 39. What is the correct order of what happened in the story? a. Geppetto was deeply moved. b. Geppetto made a suit out of paper. c. Marionette cried for a new pair of feet. d. Marionette made promises to be a good man. A. a-c-d-b B. c-b-d-a C. c-d-a-b D. a-d-b-c 40. What can we learn from the story? A. Fathers are always strict with their children. B. Beautiful clothes are the most important thing. C. Parents’ love for their children is selfless. D. Promises are easily made but hard to keep. 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Usually great people encourage themselves and everyone around them toward better things.

In the UK, 99% of kids aged 8 to 15 play video games. They spend almost 14 hours gaming a week. This information tells us that the benefits and dangers of video games must be carefully considered. For many people, video games are fun. They have bright lights, funny cartoons and exciting stories. Everywhere you look, you can see children playing these games. They play on buses and trains, in restaurants and even at school. Video games are educational too. They make kids think in a creative way, and they have to move their hands and eyes quickly. This can improve the way that a child’s brain works. What’s more, video games make children use their imagination. The player has to do many creative things, like drawing, telling stories and building things. Video games are also good for children to learn about technology because they can learn how computers and other devices work while they play. However, a recent study suggests that video games can also be bad for children. First, children can download many games for free. This means that parents often don’t know if their children are playing violent (暴力的) or scary (恐怖的) games. Second, many children spend too much time playing games on computers, and this can lead to health problems. Third, if children spend too much time playing games instead of doing homework, they can have problems at school and get bad grades. Finally, video games can affect children’s social skills. If children spend too much time playing video games by themselves, they might not learn how to play with their friends. In conclusion, it seems clear that video games have some advantages and some disadvantages. Parents should know what games their children are playing and how much time they spend on them. Parents should also make sure their children get enough exercise and spend time with other children. 64. How long do kids aged 8 to 15 in the UK spend on video games a week? _______________________________________________________________ 65. Why are video games fun for many people? _______________________________________________________________ 66. What do you think of video game playing? Why do you think so? (Please give two reasons.) _______________________________________________________________ 七、书面表达（满分15分） 67. 临近期末，学校在学习小组内开展了年终自评和组评活动，假设你是Moonlight小组的组长，请根据下面表格中的信息和提示，为你的组员Tommy进行综合素质的评价，写一份素质报告。 Name Tommy（一个十五岁的初三学生） Characteristics 聪明、大方、乐于助人 Hobbies 不仅喜欢看侦探小说，而且喜欢看关于体育新闻的电视节目。 Study 自从本学期他把绝大部分精力投放到学习中，他取得了很大进步。 Honour 他成功地帮助Detective Lu解决了绑架的案子。今年，学校授予了他见义勇为奖（award for bravery） Problems 面临考试，遭受压力和痛苦，他没有充足的睡眠。 Your suggestions 要求： 1. 表达清楚、语法正确、上下文连贯； 2. 要点必须包括所有相关信息，并作适当发挥，但不得出现真实班级、姓名等； 3. 词数：90词左右。 Tommy is a member of my team called Moonlight. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025~2026学年度第一学期第四次定时作业 初三年级英语学科 一、单项填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 【1题答案】 【答案】C 【2题答案】 【答案】C 【3题答案】 【答案】D 【4题答案】 【答案】C 【5题答案】 【答案】C 【6题答案】 【答案】B 【7题答案】 【答案】D 【8题答案】 【答案】C 【9题答案】 【答案】D 【10题答案】 【答案】C 二、完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 【11~25题答案】 【答案】11.
