Unit 4 A better me 单元检测 (沈阳专用) 温馨提示： 本试卷共分第Ⅰ卷和第Ⅱ卷两部分，第Ⅰ卷为选择题；第Ⅱ卷为非选择题；满分为90分，考试时间为90分钟。 第一部分选择题（共50分） 一、阅读理解（分二节，共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） 第一节：阅读下列短文，然后根据其内容从A、B、C、D中选出最佳选项。 A Today’s topic: Do we need spring and autumn holidays? I hope that our city will set up spring and autumn holidays. My reasons are as follows: First, these extra breaks would help us relieve (缓解) stress. We can relax and play sports. When we return to school, we’ll be smarter and healthier. Second, stepping out of the classroom often helps us be more creative. Visiting a museum or going for a walk with a camera can open our eyes. We’ll bring fresh ideas back into the classroom. Third, these breaks bring families closer together. Whether we travel with our parents or attend a family gathering, the shared memories will make our family ties stronger. I think these breaks are unnecessary. Most schools finish their lessons right before finals. Adding more breaks means schools have to adjust (调整) their teaching plans. Some learning materials may be covered poorly. Otherwise, schools would need to extend (延长) regular school hours. This will leave students and teachers more tired. Parents, too, may face problems. They may need to take time off work to care for children. This is easier said than done. If children are left alone at home, they may waste their time instead of enjoying a meaningful break. I strongly support adding spring and autumn breaks. Three days off each term won’t influence the academic (学术的) progress. These short breaks can improve learning efficiency (效率). Research shows that a little rest works wonders for memory. Some parents worry that they are busy with work and won’t have time to look after their children during these breaks. But schools can step in and organize special activities or even short trips. These breaks aren’t a waste of time. Instead, they are smarter use of time. They’ll help us live healthier lives and hit the books with fresh energy. 1. What does Su Ning think of family time during the breaks? A. It helps parents work more smoothly. B. It can lead to more homework. C. It can make families spend less money. D. It makes family members closer. 2. According to Lin Tao, what will happen if schools add new breaks? A. Teachers will have more spare time. B. Schools may teach some parts too quickly. C. Parents might not afford these holiday trips. D. Students will study better and be more creative. 3. About the breaks, in which way do Su Ning and Zhang Ke both agree? A. They help students learn better. B. They make parents feel stressed. C. They make teaching time shorter. D. They help students develop life skills. 4. What is the passage mainly about? A. Problems that spring holidays may cause. B. Ways for students to relax during holidays. C. Different ideas on spring and autumn breaks. D. The importance of school holidays for students. B A recent survey conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health asked 2,000 teenagers aged 13-17 about their biggest concerns and challenges during adolescence. The results showed that academic pressure, body image issues, and social relationships were the top three worries for most teenagers. Nearly 75% of the respondents said that getting good grades and getting into a good college was their biggest concern. Many teenagers reported feeling stressed about homework, exams, and the expectations of their parents and teachers. Some even said that they had trouble sleeping or eating because of the pressure. Body image issues were the second most common concern, with 62% of teenagers saying that they felt insecure about their appearance. Girls were more likely to report feeling unhappy with their bodies than boys, but boys also struggled with body image issues, especially related to their height and muscle mass. Social relationships were the third biggest worry for teenagers. Many said that they felt pressure to fit in with their peers and be popular. Some reported feeling lonely or isolated, while others had problems with bullying or conflicts with friends. Other concerns mentioned in the survey included mental health issues, family problems, and uncertainty about the future. The survey also found that many teenagers were reluctant to talk about their feelings with adults, and that only about 30% had sought help from a counselor or therapist. The researchers who conducted the survey said that the results highlight the need for better support systems for teenagers. They recommended that schools and parents should provide more resources and education about mental health, and that teenagers should be encouraged to talk about their feelings and seek help when they need it. 5. What was the biggest concern for most teenagers according to the survey? A. Body image issues B. Academic pressure C. Social relationships D. Mental health issues 6. What percentage of teenagers felt insecure about their appearance? A. 30% B. 62% C. 75% D. 85% 7. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Boys were more likely to report body image issues than girls. B. All teenagers had trouble sleeping because of academic pressure. C. Only about 30% of teenagers had sought help from a counselor. D. Family problems were the fourth biggest worry for teenagers. 8. What did the researchers recommend? A. Teenagers should not worry about their grades. B. Schools and parents should provide more mental health support. C. Teenagers should solve their problems on their own. D. Parents should not have any expectations for their children. C My high school life was extremely busy and competitive not only in sports but also in academic subjects. The pressure (压力) of trying to get excellent grades while joining in various school activities could be great. Sometimes it seemed like I lived at school! When I was at home, my time was spent doing homework. Some days I was so busy finishing a project that I could hardly see my families. I have a brother and a sister named Sally. She was nine years old. We used to see each other. But after I graduated from the primary school she attended, I saw her less and less. I tried to go to her soccer games, but I had my own play practices and meetings. Then one day I came home, an empty house. I found a note from my mom. she was at my brother’s baseball game. However, my sister was at her friend’s and would be dropped off. At five o’clock, I went to turn on the light near the front door and saw my sister walking towards the door with her friend and her friend’s father. I heard them talking. “Is anyone at home?” the father asked. “Just my mean elder sister—Linda and she only minds her own things. She’s probably in her room as usual,” my sister replied. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t even know this man but my sister was making me sound like one of Cinderella’s hateful stepsisters. I opened the door, thanked the father for bringing her home, then shut the door and started to cry. To make a long story short, a huge fight followed that ended with me driving my sister to her room. But I realized what was worse than the fight was that I really hadn’t been a good elder sister. I had forgotten what was important and what really mattered. I had got caught in a lot of pressure and competition. In fact, my sister made me realize the grades I got didn’t matter to everyone—certainly not to her. All that matters to her is that I’m her elder sister, and that’s what matters to me, too. 9. What does the underlined phrase “drop off” in paragraph 3 mean? A. cared for B. sent back C. raised up D. left alone 10. What did Sally think of her elder sister? A. She was shy and lonely. B. She was cool and strange. C. She cared about nothing but her own things. D. She liked to argue and fight with others. 11. Put the following events in the correct order according to the author’s story. a. Linda felt the pressure of getting good grades and joining in school activities. b. Linda heard her sister describe her as “mean elder sister”. c. Linda’s mom left a note saying she was at the brother’s baseball game. d. Linda tried to go to her sister’s soccer games but failed to do so. e. Linda had a fight with her sister. A. a-c-b-d-e B. a-d-c-b-e C. b-c-e-a-d D. b-a-e-c-d 12. What did Linda realize after the fight? A. Grades are the most important for students. B. Sisters should be honest to each other. C. Living is all about competing with others. D. Love from family members is important. D ① Sitting through a family dinner, your uncle suddenly starts talking about different topics like an expert. But everything he knows is from TikTok. After exams, one classmate is sure to do well. But he ends up with far lower marks than expected. Sounds familiar? This kind of behavior is called the Dunning-Kruger effect. ② In 1995, a man named Wheeler robbed a bank with lemon juice on his face. He believed it would make him not be seen. This story inspired two psychologists (心理学家) David Dunning and Justin Kruger to do some experiments. They asked people to tell how well they did in certain tasks. The results showed people with poor skills often thought they did much better than they actually did. They failed to see their own shortcomings, which made them too confident. ③ Later, people used a simple graph (图表) to show this effect. It clearly tells us the link between our actual knowledge and our self-confidence. When we know very little about something, our confidence rises to quite a high point. We may even believe we know everything. Digging deeper, we begin to realize how difficult the topic truly is, and our confidence drops. At this point, we start questioning ourselves. Only when we keep learning can our ability and confidence rise in a healthy way. ④ This is not just a psychological phenomenon (现象) for strangers or uncles at dinner — it is a mistake that everyone may easily fall into. Have you ever laughed at your classmates’ mistakes without realizing your own? Have you ever turned a deaf ear to others’ advice because you thought you knew better? Have you ever felt fully prepared, only to be shocked by the final result? If so, you are having it too. ⑤ Dear graduates of 2026, as you are stepping into senior high and then a wider world, remember that real growth lies in the courage to be modest (谦虚). Always remember to learn, feel, and listen, and you will surely shine brighter in the years ahead. 13. Which sentence might be said by the uncle in Paragraph ①? A. “I’m not sure. You’d better go and ask a teacher about this.” B. “Oranges are good for the skin? Let’s check more articles.” C. “This accident has many causes. I may not know the truth.” D. “This war would end fast if they just listened to me.” 14. What do the experiments by Dunning and Kruger show? A. Most people can see their shortcomings, more or less. B. Less skilled people often think highly of themselves. C. A person can tell how well he or she finishes a task. D. Lemon juice doesn’t work for hiding people’s bodies. 15. Who is most likely to be at Point D in the graph? A. A student who is beating self-doubt step by step with hard work. B. A person who feels super confident after taking the first driving lesson. C. A math teacher who feels very lost in the beginning of his teaching. D. An experienced doctor who keeps learning for many years at work. 16. Which of the following can be put in the third box of the structure? A. Listing more results. B. Sharing scientific facts. C. Connecting with readers. D. Discussing different ideas. 第二节：阅读短文，从文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余选项。 阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Mental (心理) health among young students in China is getting more attention from schools, parents and the public. China’s Ministry of Education introduced 18 new rules on Oct 17, 2025. They focus on having less school stress, improving sleep and cutting down on screen time. 17 The first goal is to make students feel less worried at school. For example, there will be less homework and fewer tests. 18 In addition, many schools will also train teachers to notice students’ feelings. Some schools plan to open quiet rooms where students can relax when they feel stressed. Talking with a teacher they trust will be easier and more private. These small changes can make a big difference. 19 The rules suggest that students do sports for at least two hours a day. Schools will hold sports competitions at both class and grade levels. “These activities let children really enjoy sports. Competitions also help them become stronger in mind,” said an expert. At the same time, schools should help students get enough sleep. Kids should not come in too early for classes. 20 To develop healthy Internet habits, the rules do not allow students to use smartphones in class and ask families to cut screen time at home. These rules can meet students’ new needs. They are also building a full support system for students’ mental health. A. A healthy mind is necessary for students’ growth. B. To help students feel better, schools are taking action. C. Another goal is to make students stronger and healthier. D. Lunch breaks may be longer so they can have more rest. E. Some schools may also have one “no-homework day” each week. 二、完形填空（10分） Parenting is never an easy job. I realized my 21 too late. When my son turned thirteen, I gave him a smartphone without any boundaries. At that time, I thought it showed trust. Yet, it soon became a reason for fight between us. My son, once a(n) 22 boy who loved playing basketball began to 23 himself in his digital world. His room became a quiet place, and the light of the screen was his only friend. Our relationship, once full of laughter, was now 24 by endless arguments. Every time I mentioned “screen time”, he would get angry. I felt like I was losing him to a machine. Wanting to find a solution (解决方案) badly, I 25 some experts for help. They told me that simply taking the phone away was not the answer. Instead, I needed to build a connection with him. The experts suggested a 26 way. For younger children, it is about changing their attention to other hobbies. But for teenagers like my son, it is about learning to be responsible (有责任的) for their own lives. We needed open talks, not just plans. We should make it clear what we should do and should not do in our daily life. More importantly, I had to explain the “why” behind the 27 . I sat down along my son one evening. Instead of shouting, I listened 28 . I shared my thoughts with care. To my surprise, he said that he also felt lost in the endless messages. We decided to make agreements ourselves. We made “phone-free zones” in the house, like the dining table. Although it was not easy at first, we kept our plan. There were hard times. Slowly, the bad feeling began to 29 . My son started going back to the basketball court. We began to talk again, not about apps, but about life. Reducing screen time did not just save his eyes; it saved our relationship. I learned that technology should be a 30 , not a wall between us. By letting him join in the process, I helped him learn a skill that will last a lifetime. 21. A. dream B. habit C. mistake D. joke 22. A. active B. honest C. clever D. polite 23. A. control B. protect C. hide D. teach 24. A. hurt B. kept C. improved D. built 25. A. refused B. punished C. asked D. praised 26. A. careful B. different C. slow D. safe 27. A. rules B. books C. games D. facts 28. A. happily B. patiently C. coldly D. slowly 29. A. fall over B. go away C. come out D. turn up 30. A. toy B. game C. gift D. bridge 第二部分非选择题（共40分） 三、语篇填空（共10小题，每小题1分；满分10分） 阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。 Adolescence (青春期) is a difficult time for teenagers. It usually takes place when you are aged at thirteen and nineteen. As your body changes gradually, you also begin to think and feel 31 (different). For example, you used to be happy in the company of your parents. But now you need your own space and privacy (隐私) . In the past, your parents made most 32 (decide) for you, but now you want to decide almost everything for 33 (you) . All these changes are quite natural. But it is important to make sure that the relationship with your parents may be affected. So what can you do 34 (make) sure that you get on well with your parents? Firstly, your parents will feel much better if you let them know that you still love and value them. Remember that they have forever lost the little child you once 35 (be). They may not say so, 36 they are probably feeling a sense of loss. Secondly, try to agree with your family rules. Maybe you shouldn’t 37 (allow) to watch TV for long or wear clothes you like. You feel these are unnecessary, but your 38 (parent) main purpose is just to keep you safe. Once you have agreed with the rules, try to obey them. Maybe you are not willing to let them know where you are, but make the effort anyway. Finally, it’s all about communication. They have nothing against 39 (have) a rest. Just let them know where you are going, and ask for advice if you need it. The more connected they feel, the more trustful they 40 (become). 四、任务型阅读 Many young people today don’t want to be noticed by others. Why do they feel this way? Three students from different countries share their ideas. Ivana Nicole Moreno, 16 At my school in the US, some classmates dislike being the center of attention. They stay quiet in class and avoid speaking up. I think pressure is a key reason. When you’re young, being noticed can feel anxious because mistakes are clear to see. Social media makes this feeling stronger. Everyone online seems confident and perfect, making real-life attention more stressful. I’m quite different, though. I enjoy being noticed when I’m doing something I love. This became clear during a Chinese language competition in China, where I happily stood under the stage lights and felt energized by the audience. Johanna Elizabeth, 16 In Germany, being quiet is not a weakness. Students who listen carefully and don’t try to stand out are often seen as serious and reliable (可依靠的). That’s why many young people here avoid attention, including me. Once, I had to present my project in class. Standing in front of everyone made me uncomfortable. I spoke quickly and avoided eye contact. It wasn’t fear—it was the pressure of being watched. This comes from our culture. In German, we value order, teamwork, and modesty (谦虚). For me, confidence means being calm and thoughtful, even without attention. He Liyan, 15 I think there are two main reasons. First, social pressure is increasing. In China, students like us face heavy stress from schoolwork and future expectations. Being noticed often brings more pressure, which can be tiring. Second, young people want to protect their privacy. With the rapid development of the internet, personal information can easily be exposed (暴露), so staying low-key helps avoid unnecessary trouble. I sometimes feel the same way. When I perform poorly on exams, I prefer to stay unnoticed, which helps me relax and feel more comfortable. 41. How does Ivana feel when being noticed while doing what she loves? 42. According to Johanna, what is true confidence? 43. What two things cause young people to stay low-key according to He Liyan? 44. Among the three students, whose opinion do you agree with most? Why? Write 30 words or more. 第五节、书面表达（15分） 假如你是张阳，彼得是你的朋友，他现在是一名九年级学生。为了迎接中考，他整天忙于学 习，最近他感到压力很大，寝食不安，情绪低落，学习效率低下。请你写一封信给他提一些有益的建议，帮助他调整心态，提高学习效率，轻松应考。 要点如下 1.学会放松（每天适当锻炼、听音乐……）： 2.健康饮食； 3. 再补充2点建议 Dear Peter, Don't worry about your study too much.

I hope that our city will set up spring and autumn holidays. My reasons are as follows: First, these extra breaks would help us relieve (缓解) stress. We can relax and play sports. When we return to school, we’ll be smarter and healthier. Second, stepping out of the classroom often helps us be more creative. Visiting a museum or going for a walk with a camera can open our eyes. We’ll bring fresh ideas back into the classroom. Third, these breaks bring families closer together. Whether we travel with our parents or attend a family gathering, the shared memories will make our family ties stronger. I think these breaks are unnecessary. Most schools finish their lessons right before finals. Adding more breaks means schools have to adjust (调整) their teaching plans. Some learning materials may be covered poorly. Otherwise, schools would need to extend (延长) regular school hours. This will leave students and teachers more tired. Parents, too, may face problems. They may need to take time off work to care for children. This is easier said than done. If children are left alone at home, they may waste their time instead of enjoying a meaningful break. I strongly support adding spring and autumn breaks. Three days off each term won’t influence the academic (学术的) progress. These short breaks can improve learning efficiency (效率). Research shows that a little rest works wonders for memory. Some parents worry that they are busy with work and won’t have time to look after their children during these breaks. But schools can step in and organize special activities or even short trips. These breaks aren’t a waste of time. Instead, they are smarter use of time. They’ll help us live healthier lives and hit the books with fresh energy. 1. What does Su Ning think of family time during the breaks? A. It helps parents work more smoothly. B. It can lead to more homework. C. It can make families spend less money. D. It makes family members closer. 2. According to Lin Tao, what will happen if schools add new breaks? A. Teachers will have more spare time. B. Schools may teach some parts too quickly. C. Parents might not afford these holiday trips. D. Students will study better and be more creative. 3. About the breaks, in which way do Su Ning and Zhang Ke both agree? A. They help students learn better. B. They make parents feel stressed. C. They make teaching time shorter. D. They help students develop life skills. 4. What is the passage mainly about? A. Problems that spring holidays may cause. B. Ways for students to relax during holidays. C. Different ideas on spring and autumn breaks. D. The importance of school holidays for students. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 4. C 【解析】本文是一篇议论文，呈现苏宁、林涛、张珂三位学生对是否增设春秋假的三种观点：苏宁支持——减压、增创、促亲情；林涛反对——影响教学、增加家长负担；张珂支持——不影响进度、可提升效率并建议学校组织活动。 1. 由“Third, these breaks bring families closer together... the shared memories will make our family ties stronger.”可知，苏宁明确指出春秋假能让家庭成员更亲近，D项“It makes family members closer.”与之对应。 2. 由“Adding more breaks means schools have to adjust their teaching plans. Some learning materials may be covered poorly.”可知，林涛认为学校为适应新假期会匆忙调整教学，可能导致部分内容学得粗糙，B项“Schools may teach some parts too quickly.”符合这一担忧。 3. 苏宁认为假期后“we’ll be smarter and healthier” “bring fresh ideas back”；张珂认为“these short breaks can improve learning efficiency”“hit the books with fresh energy”。两人都强调假期对学习的积极影响（提升学习效果），A项正确。 4. 全文分别呈现苏宁、林涛、张珂对是否增设春秋假的不同观点，C项“Different ideas on spring and autumn breaks.”准确概括。 B A recent survey conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health asked 2,000 teenagers aged 13-17 about their biggest concerns and challenges during adolescence.

The pressure (压力) of trying to get excellent grades while joining in various school activities could be great. Sometimes it seemed like I lived at school! When I was at home, my time was spent doing homework. Some days I was so busy finishing a project that I could hardly see my families. I have a brother and a sister named Sally. She was nine years old. We used to see each other. But after I graduated from the primary school she attended, I saw her less and less.

However, my sister was at her friend’s and would be dropped off. At five o’clock, I went to turn on the light near the front door and saw my sister walking towards the door with her friend and her friend’s father. I heard them talking. “Is anyone at home?” the father asked. “Just my mean elder sister—Linda and she only minds her own things. She’s probably in her room as usual,” my sister replied. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t even know this man but my sister was making me sound like one of Cinderella’s hateful stepsisters. I opened the door, thanked the father for bringing her home, then shut the door and started to cry. To make a long story short, a huge fight followed that ended with me driving my sister to her room. But I realized what was worse than the fight was that I really hadn’t been a good elder sister. I had forgotten what was important and what really mattered. I had got caught in a lot of pressure and competition. In fact, my sister made me realize the grades I got didn’t matter to everyone—certainly not to her.

D 【解析】本文主要讲述了作者的高中生活忙碌且充满压力，忙于学业和参加学校活动，导致没有时间和家人相处交流。直到有一次听到妹妹向别人形容自己是个只关心自己事情的刻薄姐姐，两人为此发生了争执，但这也让作者明白了家人之间的爱才是最重要的。 9. 词句猜测题。根据“However, my sister was at her friend’s and would be dropped off”可知，妹妹在朋友家，然后应该是会被送回来，故此处的划线短语“drop off”应是“送回”的意思，与sent back意思相近。故选B。 10. 细节理解题。根据“Just my mean elder sister—Linda and she only minds her own things”可知，妹妹觉得姐姐只关心自己的事情。故选C。 11. 细节理解题。根据“The pressure (压力) of trying to get excellent grades while joining in various school activities could be great”可知，作者高中生活很忙，有学业和活动的压力，即a；根据“I tried to go to her soccer games, but I had my own play practices and meetings.”可知，作者试着去看妹妹的足球比赛，但因自己有练习和会议没去成，即d；根据“Then one day I came home, an empty house. I found a note from my mom. she was at my brother’s baseball game.”可知，妈妈留了纸条说在哥哥的棒球比赛现场，即c；根据“Just my mean elder sister—Linda and she only minds her own things”可知，作者听到妹妹说自己是个刻薄的姐姐，即b；根据“To make a long story short, a huge fight followed that ended with me driving my sister to her room.”可知，作者和妹妹发生了争执，即e。故正确顺序为a-d-c-b-e。故选B。 12. 推理判断题。根据“In fact, my sister made me realize the grades I got didn’t matter to everyone—certainly not to her. All that matters to her is that I’m her elder sister, and that’s what matters to me, too.”可知，事实上，妹妹让作者意识到，成绩对每个人来说都不重要。对妹妹来说最重要的是作者是她的姐姐，这对作者来说也很重要。故可推测出，作者是意识到了家人的爱很重要。故选D。 D ① Sitting through a family dinner, your uncle suddenly starts talking about different topics like an expert. But everything he knows is from TikTok. After exams, one classmate is sure to do well. But he ends up with far lower marks than expected. Sounds familiar? This kind of behavior is called the Dunning-Kruger effect. ② In 1995, a man named Wheeler robbed a bank with lemon juice on his face. He believed it would make him not be seen. This story inspired two psychologists (心理学家) David Dunning and Justin Kruger to do some experiments. They asked people to tell how well they did in certain tasks. The results showed people with poor skills often thought they did much better than they actually did. They failed to see their own shortcomings, which made them too confident. ③ Later, people used a simple graph (图表) to show this effect. It clearly tells us the link between our actual knowledge and our self-confidence. When we know very little about something, our confidence rises to quite a high point. We may even believe we know everything. Digging deeper, we begin to realize how difficult the topic truly is, and our confidence drops. At this point, we start questioning ourselves. Only when we keep learning can our ability and confidence rise in a healthy way. ④ This is not just a psychological phenomenon (现象) for strangers or uncles at dinner — it is a mistake that everyone may easily fall into. Have you ever laughed at your classmates’ mistakes without realizing your own? Have you ever turned a deaf ear to others’ advice because you thought you knew better? Have you ever felt fully prepared, only to be shocked by the final result? If so, you are having it too. ⑤ Dear graduates of 2026, as you are stepping into senior high and then a wider world, remember that real growth lies in the courage to be modest (谦虚). Always remember to learn, feel, and listen, and you will surely shine brighter in the years ahead. 13. Which sentence might be said by the uncle in Paragraph ①? A. “I’m not sure. You’d better go and ask a teacher about this.” B. “Oranges are good for the skin? Let’s check more articles.” C. “This accident has many causes. I may not know the truth.” D. “This war would end fast if they just listened to me.” 14. What do the experiments by Dunning and Kruger show? A. Most people can see their shortcomings, more or less. B. Less skilled people often think highly of themselves. C. A person can tell how well he or she finishes a task. D. Lemon juice doesn’t work for hiding people’s bodies. 15. Who is most likely to be at Point D in the graph? A. A student who is beating self-doubt step by step with hard work. B. A person who feels super confident after taking the first driving lesson. C. A math teacher who feels very lost in the beginning of his teaching. D. An experienced doctor who keeps learning for many years at work. 16. Which of the following can be put in the third box of the structure? A. Listing more results. B. Sharing scientific facts. C. Connecting with readers. D. Discussing different ideas. 【答案】13. D 14. B 15. D 16. C 【来源】辽宁沈阳市虹桥中学2025-2026学年度 九年级下学期 初中学业水平模拟调研 英语学科 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了心理学中的“达克效应”。文章通过生活中的例子引出该效应，阐述了其发现过程、表现形式，并指出这是普遍存在的现象，最后给即将步入高中和更广阔世界的毕业生提出建议：真正的成长在于保持谦虚的勇气，要持续学习、感受和倾听。 13. 根据第一段“your uncle suddenly starts talking about different topics like an expert. But everything he knows is from TikTok”可知，这位叔叔会像专家一样谈论各种话题，且知识来源单一，表现出过度自信、高估自己认知的特点。 14. 根据第二段“The results showed people with poor skills often thought they did much better than they actually did. They failed to see their own shortcomings, which made them too confident.”可知，Dunning和Kruger的实验表明，技能差的人往往高估自己的表现，看不到自身不足，过于自信。 15. 根据第三段对图表的解释“Only when we keep learning can our ability and confidence rise in a healthy way.”以及图表中D点的位置可知，D点代表的是通过持续学习，能力和自信都健康提升的人。 16. 文章的结构为：①展示例子；②③解释效应；④联想到读者；⑤给出建议。所以第三部分的作用是联系读者，让读者产生共鸣，意识到这种现象的普遍性。 第二节：阅读短文，从文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余选项。 阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Mental (心理) health among young students in China is getting more attention from schools, parents and the public. China’s Ministry of Education introduced 18 new rules on Oct 17, 2025. They focus on having less school stress, improving sleep and cutting down on screen time. 17 The first goal is to make students feel less worried at school. For example, there will be less homework and fewer tests. 18 In addition, many schools will also train teachers to notice students’ feelings. Some schools plan to open quiet rooms where students can relax when they feel stressed. Talking with a teacher they trust will be easier and more private. These small changes can make a big difference. 19 The rules suggest that students do sports for at least two hours a day. Schools will hold sports competitions at both class and grade levels. “These activities let children really enjoy sports. Competitions also help them become stronger in mind,” said an expert. At the same time, schools should help students get enough sleep. Kids should not come in too early for classes. 20 To develop healthy Internet habits, the rules do not allow students to use smartphones in class and ask families to cut screen time at home. These rules can meet students’ new needs. They are also building a full support system for students’ mental health. A. A healthy mind is necessary for students’ growth. B. To help students feel better, schools are taking action. C. Another goal is to make students stronger and healthier. D. Lunch breaks may be longer so they can have more rest. E. Some schools may also have one “no-homework day” each week. 【答案】17. B 18. E 19. C 20. D 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国教育部为改善青少年心理健康推出的十项新规。 17. 上文提到新规专注于减轻压力、改善睡眠和减少屏幕时间，下文具体介绍措施，因此中间需要一个承上启下的句子。B项“To help students feel better, schools are taking action.”意为“为了帮助学生感觉更好，学校正在采取行动”，自然地引出下文的各项措施。 18. 上文举例说明将会有更少的作业和更少的考试，此处需要补充减轻学业压力的具体措施。E项“Some schools may also have one ‘no-homework day’ each week.”是对“更少的作业”的具体补充，符合语境。 19. 上文提到“第一个目标是让学生在学校少一些焦虑”，下文介绍运动相关的规则，因此此处应介绍另一个目标。C项“Another goal is to make students stronger and healthier.”与上文“第一个目标”相呼应，并引出下文关于运动的描述。 20. 上文提到学校应帮助学生获得充足的睡眠，孩子上课不应来得太早，此处需要补充保证休息的具体措施。D项“Lunch breaks may be longer so they can have more rest.”属于保证休息的具体措施，符合语境。 二、完形填空（10分） Parenting is never an easy job.

For example, you used to be happy in the company of your parents. But now you need your own space and privacy (隐私) . In the past, your parents made most 32 (decide) for you, but now you want to decide almost everything for 33 (you) . All these changes are quite natural. But it is important to make sure that the relationship with your parents may be affected. So what can you do 34 (make) sure that you get on well with your parents? Firstly, your parents will feel much better if you let them know that you still love and value them. Remember that they have forever lost the little child you once 35 (be). They may not say so, 36 they are probably feeling a sense of loss. Secondly, try to agree with your family rules. Maybe you shouldn’t 37 (allow) to watch TV for long or wear clothes you like.

Maybe you are not willing to let them know where you are, but make the effort anyway. Finally, it’s all about communication. They have nothing against 39 (have) a rest.

Why do they feel this way? Three students from different countries share their ideas. Ivana Nicole Moreno, 16 At my school in the US, some classmates dislike being the center of attention. They stay quiet in class and avoid speaking up. I think pressure is a key reason. When you’re young, being noticed can feel anxious because mistakes are clear to see. Social media makes this feeling stronger. Everyone online seems confident and perfect, making real-life attention more stressful. I’m quite different, though. I enjoy being noticed when I’m doing something I love. This became clear during a Chinese language competition in China, where I happily stood under the stage lights and felt energized by the audience. Johanna Elizabeth, 16 In Germany, being quiet is not a weakness. Students who listen carefully and don’t try to stand out are often seen as serious and reliable (可依靠的). That’s why many young people here avoid attention, including me. Once, I had to present my project in class. Standing in front of everyone made me uncomfortable. I spoke quickly and avoided eye contact. It wasn’t fear—it was the pressure of being watched. This comes from our culture. In German, we value order, teamwork, and modesty (谦虚). For me, confidence means being calm and thoughtful, even without attention. He Liyan, 15 I think there are two main reasons. First, social pressure is increasing. In China, students like us face heavy stress from schoolwork and future expectations. Being noticed often brings more pressure, which can be tiring. Second, young people want to protect their privacy. With the rapid development of the internet, personal information can easily be exposed (暴露), so staying low-key helps avoid unnecessary trouble. I sometimes feel the same way. When I perform poorly on exams, I prefer to stay unnoticed, which helps me relax and feel more comfortable. 41. How does Ivana feel when being noticed while doing what she loves? 42. According to Johanna, what is true confidence? 43. What two things cause young people to stay low-key according to He Liyan? 44. Among the three students, whose opinion do you agree with most? Why? Write 30 words or more. 【答案】41. Happy and energized. 42. Being calm and thoughtful, even without attention. 43. Social pressure and the wish to protect their privacy. 44. I agree with Johanna most. Because in my culture, being modest and calm is also valued. I think true confidence comes from inner peace, not from being the center of attention. That makes me feel safe and respected. 【来源】辽宁沈阳市虹桥中学2025-2026学年度 九年级下学期 初中学业水平模拟调研 英语学科 【解析】本文是一篇调查报告类文章，主要讲述了三位来自不同国家的学生对于“年轻人不愿被关注”这一现象的看法及原因。 41. “Ivana Nicole Moreno, 16”第三段明确指出“I’m quite different, though.
